Attended Board Meeting.

DR.. r. e. Hughes returned last
night from Columbia, where he had
been in attendance upon the meeting
of the board of trustees of the South
Car ma Medical college. The board
hau ,efore it the business of electing
officers. There were large number
of names placed before the board for
the different places and considerable
spirit was exhibited in the elections
which followed. but DR.. Hughes stat
ed that he was particularly struck by
the desire, evident on the part of all
the members of the board, to do the
very best that they knew how to Sc
lect those men most fitted for the
places. A very commepdible spirit of
sacrifice and cooperation peryaded
the meeting, all the trustees being
deeply interested in the future success
of the college.

The Advertiser,

The Laurens Advertiser is mistaken
in its assertion that the Tribune takes
itself too seriously. The Tribune takes
itself and all the rest of the world
including the Laurens Advertiser and
it's editor, as good deal of joke.
The Advertiser is mistaken again in
its fear that the Tribune is mad at it,
The Tribune is not mad, most noble
Festus. The Advertisers editor has
either read these columns very little,
or has read them to little purpose, if
he believes the Tribune has a fierce
and horrific temper.
True, the Tribune occasionally los
es patience with the perverse ignor-
ance of the genus homo Carolinus, and
sometimes grows indignant over such
things as one-horse, single-cylinder
governor driving out an educator like
DR.. Mitchell, but the even tenor of it's
contempt aries.
The Advertisers little fling con-
cerning the $4,000 court house fund
was really not worth commenting up
on. But the spirit Of 1t was so sur
prising, so unlike the Advertiser, that
an explanation seemed necessary.
The Advertiser, while not especial
ly deep or brilliant, has always seem
ed rather sane, and conservatively
fair. With the exception of it's pa
tent medicine ads, it sounds a little
higher tone than the average country
newspaper, and have come to have
considerable confidence in it.
My surprise was therefore genu-
inc when it's editorial columns be-
gan to show spirit of jealous pique.
The editor of the Advertiser is suf-
ficiently intelligent to know that the
formation of a new county will work
to the ultimate good of the people of
tht northern part of Laurens county,
both in the matter of taxes and roads.
Knowing this, as he undoubtedly
does know it, by what queer course
Of reasoning can he salve his con-
science when he attempts to deceive
these people?
Is it not a duty one owes to his read
ers to tell the truth, no matter what
the personal desires or ambitions of
the publisher? Do not the ethics of
clean journalism demand that the good
of the public be placed above the good
OF the publishers purse?
The Advertiser announces that 1t
will later have something to say"
concerning the proposed new county.
Very we'll. Nothing could please
Fountain Inn people better-provlded
the Advertiser discusses the matter in
fair, man's-size way. and tells only
the truth. The more truth, the more
votes.
But the Advertisers attempt, last
week, to leave the impression that
Fountain Inn county would be unable
to pay more than 5000 the year to it's
superintendent of education, is not the
sort of thing to inspire confidence in

ANOTHER EFFORT
TO MOVE CHlCORA
Resolution Passed at Piedmont Pres
bytery Recommending the Removal
OF the College from GreenyiIIe to
Clinton

bytery Recommending the Removal
OF the College from GreenyiIIe to
Clinton.
Ihe following story appeared in the
Greenyille Piedmont last Thursday
which will be read with interest here
because of the campaign waged by this
city last spring to secure Chicora Col
lege:
Greenvtlle people who had hoped
that the question of removing Chicora
College from this city had been finally
and definitely settled in the negative
Will regret to learn that there seems
TO be some agitation still going on for
the removal of the institution. AT the
regular meeting of Piedmont presby-
terry In Westminster last week reso-
luton was adopted the suggesting that
the board Of trustees consider the re-
moval of the college to Clinton to a
site contiguous to the Presbyterian
college of South Carolina. This reso-
luton was totally unexpected and
comes as a very great surprise to
the friends of Chicora in Greenville.
1t was not passed without debate,
former Solicitor julius e. Boggs and
others putting up vigorous fight in
behalf of Greenville.
The resolution passed by the pres
bytery is as follows:
That Piedmont Presbytery sug-
gest to the board of trustees of Chico
ra College to consider the removal
| of Chicora College to Clinton 20 a
site contiguous to the Presbyterian
College of South Carolina"
The Tugaloo Tribune, printed at
Westminster, comments as follows in
it's this weeks issue on the effort to
remove the college:
The Presbyteries that control
Chicora College Will never find pref
tier location for that institution of
learning than Greenville AS the Hon.
Julius p. Boggs says, there is plenty
of room to build it toward the sky"
If another effort is made now to re-
move Chicora it will be the third with
in couple of years. Two unsuccess-
full efforts We're made last year by
Laurens to secure the college. Just
what prompted the action on the part
of the Piedmont Presbytery is not
known.
Rev. DR.. T. w. Sloan, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church when ask
ed concerning the action of the Pied
mont Presbytery said that he knew
it was coming; that last fall a mem
her of the Presbytery had told him
that while he would oppose removing
the institution to Laurens he would
favor it's removal to Clinton and that
he would introduce resolution at the
spring meeting suggesting the same to
the board.
DR.. Sloan is of the opinion that the
matter will die right where it is and
that no further effort will be made to
move the institution.

"This Happened in 1872

South Carofna's all-Democratic
Legislature needs no brakes when il
starts out to enact human welfare
laws. During it's recent session Rep
resentative E. p. McCravey introduced
what in the Palmetto State was called
compulsory education bill In It's,
original form the bill provided that
children between the ages of eight and
thirteen should be sent to the public
schools during the legal term, or the
equivalent in private schools, unless
the labor OF said children was nee
essary to their support" Anticipating
strong opposition from legislators
representing the manufacturing dis
tricts and some rural counties where
education is regarded as one of the
DEVILS articles, Mr.. McCravey insert
ed "local-option" clause The pro-
posed law was not to take effect in
any county until after it was referred
to the voters and approved by ma
Jority; and in case a county as a
unit favored the measure, but single
precincts did not, the opposition pre-
cincts should be exempted. In that
form the bill was about as near no
bill at all as any cotton-mill owner
could have wished for, but we have
not told more than half the story. Be
fore being finally passed upon, the
bill had to go through the hands of
conference committee of Senators and
Represd dntatives. The age limit in
the States child-labor law was twelve
years, and the committee promptly
substituted twelve" for thirteen" in
the McCravey bill. The original mea-
sure called for too much schooling to
suit the conferees, and they revised
the time limit down to three months.
But even then the bill met with strong
opposition from some quarters, and as
compromise the committee exempted
Abbeville and Oconee counties and
the Spartanburg school district in
Spartanburg county, After the bill
had been rendered practically mean
ingless, the House and Senate passed
it, but not without hearing it bitter
ly assailed. Representative E. l..
Lybrand, preacher by profession,
said:
Il believe compulsory education is
against the fundamental principles of
our American democratic institutions"
This happened in the United States
in the year 1913! Representative C. d.
Fortner, an insurance agent, objected
because he believed all men should
have right to control their own
children" The bill found Governor
Blease ready with his ak. He said in
his veto message:
"In the stump | opposed compulsory
education. l promised there to veto
any bill in regard to it, and have al
ways stood upon the platform on
which I was elected"
And the Senate sustained the veto.
Bleaseism hinders enlightenment, and
ignorance fosters Bleaseism. The rest
