Now / have shown you who the cor
rnptionists are. / am not only fight
ing for the good name OF South Caro-
lima, but my own, and 1 have chal-
lenged my enemies on the very ground
where they have most maligned me;
and it is unfair, cowardly and a COM
plete evasion of the issue for you and
your corruptionist friends in this COM
munity now TO resort to the old "catch
thief" tactics by pretending that the
publicity which l am giving to this
matter is wrong and unjustifiable;
whereas they filled the newspapers
throughout the campaign and poured
into your ears, among others, after
the election, that things here were
horribly corrupt, but that / and not
they, was the cOrruptionist You and
they have blackened my name and,
through my name, a people and
community; and you stink away when
I come before you ready to do some
service to my State.
Yours very sincerely,
(Signed) John p. Grace.

My dear Senator Tillman: In my

peal to you to assist me in the Whaley

any further appeal, but to keep the
record straight. / see now that I

not let the occasion pass however,

to me. Although 1t would be false
for me to claim that 1 anything but
despise Mr.. Whaley, or to deny that
1t would give me q great deal Of salts
faction and vindication to see him un-
seated; yet for you to intimate that
my conduct Is q matter of 'malignancy

have to commit seven times as much

What a Minnesota Town Spends for
(Signed)

Schools
When 1 asked Mr.. A. o. Nelson, the
hustling, red-headed, wide-awake
leader of cooperation in Svea, what
was their rural school tax, he almost
struck me dumb when he answered
promptly:
Seventeen mills or $1.7O on the
500 of property"
or course, this is something un-
usual. 1t is in fact, nearly double the
local school TAX the Svea folks usual
ly pay. Two or three years ago, how
ever, they decided they wanted a.
handsome new building and industrial
features-agriculture for the boys
and domestic science for the girls
together with transportation of pupils
living over two miles from the school
(two miles in 'blizzardy Minnesota
winter is the equivalent of four miles
in the South) and so the folks didn't
say, as 1 fear they would have said
munities. well, we have got to the
thirty-cent limit for local school tax
and they ain't nothing more we can
do" The State of Minnesota, realiz-
ing that the education of the people
is the life of State, imposes no such
hampering limitation upon the tax its
people may vote for education; and
the people of Svea set no such miser-
ly limit upon their support Of schools
for their boys and girls. One dollar
and seventy cents on each $100 worth
of property was the tax they voted
although they had only one school
organization Of keep up. Our South-
ern communities with two separate
school systems to maintain frequently
boast themselves nightly for voting
'irty-cent tax on themselves. We
Southerners have simply got to go
down into our jeans for more money
if our farm boys and girls of the new
generation are not to be hopelessly
Outdistanced by the thoroughly equip
ped, practically trained boys and girls
of other sections.
Eight months term a year with two
teachers-a man who teaches agricul-
Dture, q woman who teaches domestic
science; compulsory attendance from
eight to sixteen; free text books for
all pupils; good school library; re-
productions Of noted pictures on the
wall-all these together with a pros
pective eight-acre school farm, have
the farm parents of Svea provided for
their boys and girls; and we Of the
South can provide similar opportuni-
ties for our children whenever we are
willing to make similar sacrifices-or
investments. And twenty years from
now we shall have an intellectually
richer country if we are willing TO
make such investment sacrifices than
if we are not.-Clarence Poe, in The
Progressive Farmer.
