Columbia State, Sunday: Speak
ing last night to the members Of the
South Carolina general assembly, vii.
liam Jennings Bryan Of Nebraska ad.
vised them to place their trust in the
people and to stick to the platforms
on which they were elected. The house
and senate extended an invitation t
Mr.. Bryan to address them while ir
Columbia. He accepted the invitation
last night after his speech In the thea.
ire. The members Of the general as
sembly and the throng in the galleries
heard the great commoner with the
closest attention. Mendel l. Smith
speaker of the house, introduced Mr.
Bryan as "the foremost American cit
iZen." The Nebraskan was applaudeC
when he entered the hall and when he
arose to speak. Had I come earlier
in the session / might have tried tc
speak with view to helping you tc
do your duty" Mr. Bryan told the
members Of the general assembly. 81
have devoted the mature years Of my
life to the study of governmental prob
lens and feel that a tremendous re-
sponsibility rests on legislative body.
do not be afraid of the people," said
Mr.. Bryan in advancing the two sug-
gestions he had to offer to the genera
assembly. And do not be afraid tc
trust them. There Is more integrity
honesty and honor in the people than
finds representation in their agents
The chief defect in a representative
government Is that it does not repre-
sent all the time All over the world
the influence of the people in the gov
ernment is increasing" declared Mr.
Bryan. The strength of a nation lies
not in the number of soldiers nor In
the size Of its battleships, but in the
love Of its people who will die to pre-
serve 1t. Let no one persuade you
peal to you to put your entire govern
ment in the hands of the people" Mr.
Bryan stated that representatives are
selected to speak what the people want
said and to do what the people want
done. II believe that a man has nc
moral right to be elected on platform
and then betray the people by desert
ing It," said Mr.. Bryan. II believe that
whenever the platform speaks, 1t is
binding. Where the platform gives no
specific instruction, the representatives
should apply the principles set forth
in 1t. Those who speak for the peo-
pie should have the courage to do
right without stopping to count how
many there are with them. No man
Is fit to occupy a public position un-
less he has the faith to do right" de-
clared Mr.. Bryan. Faith Is Of more
value than processes Of reasoning. If
a public man would act in large way
he must be a man who believes that
God stands back Of Righteousness.
Trust the people and let them run their
own government" concluded Mr..
Bryan. Have faith in the triumph Of
that which is right. Stand for that
which you believe to be right and take
the consequences" Mr.. Bryan thank
ed the general assembly for its invita-
ton to him to address them. On the
committee to extend the invitation to
Mr.. Bryan were Senators Weston,
Strait and Nicholson and Representa-
tives Whaley, O'Quinn and Wyche.

Referring to the refusal of the SEN

Referring to the refusal of the sen.
ate to continue the appropriation OF
$1,000 to Winthrop for school super
vision work, the Newberry Observer
remarks:
The senate did right. There is en-
tirely too much school supervision
anyhow
We have not seen proper to censure
the action Of the senate in this matter
because we do not know the reason
that governed the same; but We do
not agree with the Observer. The su-
pervision work that has been done un-
der that appropriation has been good
and productive of good results. The
results are apparent ali over York
county. While most Of this appropria-
ton has been devoted to York county,
and on that account there may be
some ground for the charge of dis
elimination, at the same time the su-
pervisor of rural schools has been act
i've in other counties, and has done
good work IN them also. TOO much
supervision" is bad, unless it be super
vision of the right kind; but there is
no such thing as too much supervision
of the right kind. If the state were
able 1t would pay to have a supervisor
like the one Winthrop sends out. in
every county.

GOVERNOR Is PLEASED.
Felicitates General Assembly on Abo.
Iition Of Hosiery Mill.

The governor on March sent to the
general assembly the following mes
sage, No. So on the abolition Of the
hosiery mill:
Gentlemen Of the General Assembly:
have just signed my name to the
act abolishing the hosiery mill at the
state penitentiary. have heard 1t said
that Mans inhumanity to man makes
countless thousands mourn" This
could truly be applied to the hosiery
mill. I have made a hard and deter
mined fight to relieve this suffering and
wish to thank you, in the name Of all
mankind, for the manhood displayed
by those Of you who voted for this
measure. And / ask the tender mercy
Of God upon those who refused to lis
ten to this appeal for mercy from their
fellowmen. To the young member from
Spartanburg, who made such a gal
liant fight, South Carolina owes much,
and I can assure him that when the
time comes his appeal for support for
that which he may ask from the peo-
pie will be answered, even as he an
swered the appeal Of these poor con-
victs for mercy.
Gentlemen, thank you. May Gods
richest blessings rest upon you. II the
legislature Of 1913 does nothing else, 1t
will receive bright mark on the rec
ords Of the Recording Angel.
Very respectfully,
Cole L. Blease,
Governor.

1t is not going to hurt anybody to
read that controversy between the Co.
lumbia State, and the Hon. John l..
McLaurin on the subject of compul-
sorry education. There are people who
do not like the State, and people who
do not like Mr.. McLaurin, and people
who dislike both; but that should have
nothing to do with the matter. If the
State is not an able newspaper in its
way, there is not much use to look for
ability in South Carolina newspapers,
and if Mr.. McLaurin is not an able
statesman in his way, there 1t not
much use to look for ability among
the public men of South Carolina. We
do not understand that the contro-
versy has been Of Mr.. McLaurin's
seeking, but rather of the seeking of
the State. Mr.. McLaurin accepted the
challenge that was handed out to him
however, and as to how the discussion
was started is of little consequence.
While there is not a great deal in
either of the opening papers publish
ed today, the discussion has proceed
ed far enough to indicate that people
who care to get something out Of it
will be able to do so, and in the be-
lief that the controversy Is worth
while, it is our purpose to reproduce

TRUSTEES ASSOCIATION

There were forty or fifty trustees of
the ruI II schools of York county at
meeting held in the court house yes
terday for the purpose Of further con-
sidering the question Of organizing the
York County Trustees association. Su-
perintendent of Education John E.
Carroll, presided.
Permanent organization was effect
ed by the election Of A. e. Burns,
president; T. F. Leslie, G. w. Hill, E.
F. Pursley, ]. M. Brice and G. c. Dun
lap. vice presidents; E. M. Williams
secretary, and the presiding officer
was instructed to appoint an executive
committee of five.
The constitution and bylaws was
adopted as presented by the commit
tee appointed to prepare the same.
Various matters were discussed, but
the most important resolution adopted
was one providing for a card index
system to keep tab on enrolment. 1t
appears that the enrolment question
has been source Of never-ending
trouble to trustees and teachers. The
trouble comes about through duplica-
ton Of the same name in the same dis
trict; the enrolment Of the same pu-
pill in two districts, and even the in
advertent enrolment Of the same pu-
Pill under two names. IL was resolved
that beginning next July the superin-
tendent Of education inaugurate card
index system to keep tab on the whole
matter. Under this arrangement there
will be a card on which there will be
blanks for a complete description OF
each child. For instance the card will
carry name, age, sex, color, grade,
name Of parents, etc.. and the super
tendent will thus have at hand a rec
ord Of every child.
There was discussion of various
problems with which trustees have to
deal and very considerable interest
was manifested in the progress of
school work generally.
When the meeting was adjourned II
was with the understanding that the
next meeting would be held next sum-
mer at some date to be fixed after the
laying by Of the crops.

The Rock Hill Record is urging the
abolition Of ordinary retail credit and
the adoption of the cash system. This
is thing that can be done only by
the exercise Of the highest business
ability on the part Of business men,
but 1t Is the thing to do: Retail credit
Is based on the idea Of making those
who pay, carry those who do not pay;
but even with this the merchant is
generally the heaviest looser. This
credit business, unnecessary credit,
has made more business failures than
any one thing.

York County Teachers.
Rock Hill Herald, Monday: The
regular monthly meeting of the York
County Teachers association was held
on Saturday at Winthrop college, the
sessions being held in the Winthrop
Society Hall. An interesting and en-
joyable programme was carried out,
the papers and discussions being es-
pecially helpful to the fifty teachers
In attendance. The meeting was call
ed to order by the president, Prof.
Gunter, and introduced by him, DR..
D. B. Johnson Of Winthrop spoke q
few words Of welcome, giving the
teachers the freedom Of the college for
stating that when the Training school
was moved into its new quarters he
hoped all would feel at liberty to visit
the school on Saturday or at any time
convenient to them. He rejoiced In
the cordial and friendly relations ex-
listing between the teachers Of York
county and Winthrop. The special SUBJ
ject under discussion for the day was
Language in the Grades. A delightful
paper on Language in the Primary
Grades" was read by Miss Mary Thom-
son. A general discussion was enter
ed into by Misses Withers, Russell and
others. Language Teaching With the
Text Book brought out a general and
helpful discussion. The Value Of the
Boys Corn clubs" was to have been
discussed by Supt. Carroll, but he be-
ing unavoidably absent, short talks
were made by Prof. ]. L. Carberry and
Mrs. Hettie Browne, Of Winthrop. Ad-
journment was then made for dinner,
served in the college dining room,
which, 1t Is needless to say, was much
enjoyed. At 2 o'clock, the afternoon
session began with a fine paper on
THE Playground Movement" by Miss
Beryl Martin, Of the Ebenezer school,
followed by general discussion. The
chief speaker Of the occasion was DR..
E M. Poteat, President of Furman
university. who spoke delightfully."- upon
the Physical, mental, moral and spir-
itual development Of children" DR..
Poteat has most pleasing address
and handled his subject to the ediflca-
ton Of all. Secretary Moore, of Fort
Mill announced that in response to the
telegram Of congratulations sent at q
former meeting to Woodrow Wilson,
he had received a cordial letter OF
thanks, from the president-elect, but
that the letter had inadvertently been
left at home. Hickory Grove was chos-
sen as the next place Of meeting on
the first Saturday in April and County
Field Day was set for the second Sat
urday in April, the meeting to be held
at Winthrop college.

TUESDAY, MARCH 4, 1913.

1t in the state treasury, and to pay
out Of this tax the funds which had
heretofore been provided for In the
general appropriation bill. ! said this
was not satisfactory to me, but that II
1t would reduce the general state levy
in the appropriation bill that would
sign the measure.
Why, sen.iemen, you can see that
giving this money to each county as
1t is paid by The county, absolutely
amounts to nothing to the weak
other half mill levy on Aiken and
Spartanburg and other counties that
now have more school money than
they can handle, and keep the money
raised from this half mill levy In
these counties which already have
more money than they know what to
do with? Why tax weak county an
other half mill, giving II no assistance
from the stronger counties, when the
weak counties are now overburdened
with taxes and struggling with desper-
alton under their load. 1t Is abso-
lutely farce. It would be better not
to pass this bill, but to put these items
back In the general appropriation bill,
which 1t has heretofore carried, be-
cause now you simply raise the levy
on the people one-half Of one mill and
the result is that they get no benefit
except what they could secure them
selves locally, each county paying for
il itself, and defeating the very object
had in view.
I regret there has been any misun-
derstanding about this matter. I re-
fer to no individual; accuse no one
Of bad faith. I tried to make myself
plain. have tried to do so all the
way through.
This gentlemen, Is my position, and
has been from the beginning, and I
have never stated to any living human
being anything to the contrary.
Now, gentlemen. In your original
committee, your tax levy Is placed at
five and three-fourths mills. Now,
here is this extra levy of one mill. In
the general appropriation bill as 1t
was ratified, your levy is five and one
quarter mills, and II makes your gen.
eral tax levy six and one-quarter
mills, while your original bill was
only five and three-quarters. Hence,
instead Of reducing the tax levy, as
understood 1t to be, you have actually
| raised 1t one-half Of one mill, and this
additional one-half mill does not make
the stronger counties help the weaker
for from the beginning.
Gentlemen, have no personal feel
ing in this matter. 1t is not personal
matter. am simply fighting, as ! see
1t, trying to help raise the standard of
education In this state, and trying to
help the little children get an educa-
ton without compulsory lash laid
across their backs, as Is being at
tempted to be done by some fanatics.
and, am sorry to say, with the as
sistance Of some few good people.
Very respectfully,
Cole L. Blease,
Governor.

what that tribunal will do remains to
be seen. The constitutional objec-
ton urged Is that congress undertakes
to delegate to states, powers that be-
long to congress alone. The idea as
we understand it is that while congress
has the power to regulate interstate
commerce in liquor, in a case like this,
although the Federal government
might have the constitutional right to
deal with an interstate liquor package
after its arrival at It's destination, 1t
cannot give such right to state gov
ernment. 1t seems to us that such a
rule applied to liquor would apply
with equal force to pistols; but no
point has yet been made along that
line. However we will not undertake
to argue a constitutional question like
this with such an able constitutional
lawyer as President Taft. For one
thing our ideas as to the legitimacy of
liquor as an article Of commerce are
wildly different, he having been reared
in Cincinnati, where liquor Is the most
important mercantile commodity, and
our lives having been pitched among
people who for three or four genera"
tions have been trying to abolish liquor
as one Of the greatest evils with which
civilization has to contend. But new
ertheless we will venture that the su-
preme court will be able to decide the
matter either way 1t wants to and give
as good reasons on one side as the
other. What the supreme court will
do we cannot predict. But we want
to remark that while the Webb law
may not prove as effective along the
lines of its generally presumed object
as its advocates might hope, still we
are satisfied that 1t will do some good,
else there would not have been so
many obstacles in its way.
