FAVORS COMPULSORY EDUCA.
TION.
r.. IL. Blake of Greenwood Cites Let.
ter from New York to Show Ad-
vantage Of Statute.

Editor The Item.
A negro school teacher in South
Carolina recently said that the white
people of South Carolina passed a law
in 1895 compelling the negroes to
attend school when the constitution
al convention required that a negro
be able to read and write, or that
he hold property before he could
vote. He smiled and said that since
that time the negro children could
not be kept from going to school, and
that the negro schools were always
crowded, but that now the white peo-
pie would be forced to pass a COM
pulsory education law to give the
white children the education they
would need to compete with the me-
gro. That negro teachers statement
is plain enough.
So we have in South Carolina a
compulsory law already for the ne
groes. Here is what Hon. James d.
Sullivan. chief of compulsory at
tendance division of the State of New
York, replies from Albany under date
Of May %, 1914, as to the effect OF
the compulsory attendance law in
that State and what the people think
Of it:

Mr. E. II. Blake, Greenwood, s. C.
Dear Sir: Your letter of inquiry
under date Of May 25 received, and
1 beg leave to answer your questions
in the order submitted.
Il. Do you believe education has
made greater progress in your State
under a compulsory education law
than before such law was passed 2
No other single school statute has
done so much for the cause of edu-
cation in this State as the compul-
sorry education law now in operation
here. Thousands of children who
have been in attendance upon lawful
instruction annually since the law
went into effect would have been
growing up without a chance for ed
ucation. augmenting the ranks of il
literacy and swelling the ranks Of our
criminal population, were it not for
the compulsory education statute. But
very few children in this great State
physically and mentally competent
are found out of school while the
schools are in session.
"2. Are the people trying to get it
repealed?'
They certainly are not. Every
single newspaper and magazine in
this State is q staunch advocate of
rigid enforcement of this law and
all our people in all the various
walks Of life have come to believe
thoroughly in this statute. The COM
pulsory education law has come to
stay, and it will yet do for our peo-
pie what a similar statute has done
for the people in Germany during the
last 70 years. Illiteracy in the Ger
man Empire is almost vanishing
point, as result of a vigorous en-
fOrcement Of attendance laws in that
country.
Every State in the union has now
q workable compulsory education law
except the following: Oklahoma.
Texas. Florida, New Mexico, Georgia,
Mississippi, and South Carolina.
I'm no State where a compulsory
education law has been enacted in
my opinion will it ever be repealed,
and in every State having such q law,
year by year it is being made more
mandatory, specific, comprehensive
and workable"
Mr. Editor, what are the white peo-
pie of South Carolina going to do
about it?
Yours very truly,
E. H. Blake.

Hon. John L. McIaurin's most re-
cent political manifesto, which is

cuted In his best style and Is as clever
bit OF satire as has been produced
In several campaigns. The shafts he
launches at Railroad Commissioner
Richards are tipped with venom and
are sure to penetrate even a thick
skin and to rankle for many a day.
IL In very evident that Mr.. McLaurin
is considerably embittered and that

Ricahrds by the latter's success in
obtaining a firmer and better grasp
on Blease's coat-tail. which some Of

Mr.. McLaurin's open letter Is well
worth careful reading and those who

In Il much to amuse and delight them.

skiliful yet bitterly caustic political
satire. This letter Is one of the best

Demand for Veal
Rapidly Increasing

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June %
THE demand for veal has increased
rapidly, and not only are the SUI
plus dairy calves slaughtered but
thousands of beef calves as we'll. un-
til a calf will sell for from SS
to SIP when only two or three
months old"
This quotation from farmers bull
letin 5SS of the United States depart
ment OF agriculture means that un-
less the farmer has unlimited cheap
feeds, it is usually more profitable t.
market the dairy or dual-purpos>
calves than to attempt to raise them,
even though some of them might
make good steers. While many de-
pierre this heavy slaughter of calves
and Legislation against it has been
urged, the consumers demand must
be met.
While the number OF cattle has de-
creased, the demand for meat has
naturally grown until not only have
the exports nearly ceased. but the
packers that they may provide
cheaper meat are now buving MANY
cattle that were formerly fed. The
farmers who formerly bought near
ly finished cattle as feeder, have
been compelled to pay higher prices
for such cattle or to take thinner
animals.
The cattle feeding business mas
changed greatly during recent wears.
Formerly steers from four to six
years of age were fed in large num-
bcrs on commercial feed at wards
near grInaries or mills, or upon
large farms where only the roughagr
grown. and the cattle were kept
OF full feed for six months or lon.-
er. This method became too cxDen-
s1Nc, 50 feeding is now conducted
upon farms as a means OF marketing |
tarm products by converting them
INTO beer, while the manure produced
Is utilized as a b~y-product for MAIN
tanning fertility.

NEW POSTMASTER

J. w. Woolf, the newly appointed local postmaster will assume official control of his future four years work this morning. The office has been inventoried from end to end during the last two days and J. o. Mullen, postmaster for the last seven years, turned over his charge last night. Miss Mary Morrow, for some years assistant postmistress, has offered her resignation to take effect the first of July this year It is probable that this position will be taken by James A Blakeley. Of his actual term of office, MT. Mullen has yet nine months to serve, having been on duty to date just seven years and three months. During his time in charge, the receipts of the office have nearly doubled One move was eff fected-that from the old Curry building to the larger and better equipped building where the post office now stands. Approximately 25,OOO money orders have been issued and 10000 money orders paid during MT. Mullen's time in office. Credit is also due the past Tempe postmas- ter for the city delivery route which has been in service now for a year and a half.

BETTER CULTIVATION

That there are a number of fields of cotton signed up with the Mesa ex- change that are not receiving proper cultivation is the opinion of the field man who went out over a number of acres of the growing crop. There is, of course, no rule whereby the grower can be compelled to attend his crop. It is presumed that he realizes the need of thorough cultivation and that he fully understands that the yield will be per ceptibility less for lack of cultivation
 It is the mission of the exchange to act more in the nature of an advisory ca pacity and of course make suggestions at any time. However, it is the aim of the exchange to produce the largest crop possible from the signed acreage
 The average for the year will be low

Motorcycle Officer w h 0 Would Protect Highways from Being Burned Up, Lays Hand on Unsuspect- ing Citizen

A motorcycle cop has been appointed by the county supervisors, whose duty it is to protect the country roads from being set on fire by the speeding mo- torists Strange as it may seem a Mesan speeding along the highways south of Tempe was the first to feel the effect of the recent law which reaches outside the city confines and seeks to protect the country people or those who must travel on country roads at a speed of less than thirty miles an hour. With the advent of the high power machines and the great number of cars and the always and ever pres ent desire of human kind to go some" there has been disposition on the part of drivers to defy all laws not eX- cepting those of gravitation on the stretches of good roads throughout the valley. The driver who did not Init CT up for thirty or forty mile clip was relegated to that class of individ- uals who a few years ago would have been called a ''Fraidy Cat"
 The state highway between Mesa and Phoenix has been a favorite speed way and it is on this stretch of road that the motorcycle cop will evidently find the best class of picking.
 The statute providing for the em- ployment of a motorcycle officer, spec flies that it shall be unlawful for auto mobiles to travel faster than thirty miles per hour in sparsely settled dis tricts. and not faster than twenty miles per hour in thickly settled sections. It is believed that the thinly settled dis tricts will be taken to mean such stretches of road as those on the desert and the thickly settled districts will mean the highways any place within the irrigated section of the valley
 The motorcycle officer operated on the south side yesterday and intercept ed at least one Mesa man who was un- aware that the law was being put into effect. However no arrest was made. The officer changes his costume daily and expects to carry on an effective campaign to lessen the speeding and to keep the limit to twenty miles per hour.

 At a hotel where he was Mnching he explained his difficulty to the head waiter. The latter picked up the hotel menu and said. This is the only passport you will need. Every time you are asked to produce il just hand the officials a packet of tobacco"
 Armed with his menu passport, the journalist did as he had been ad- vised. The Montenegrn customs of ficers gravely went through the menu, glancing at the traveller from time to time to see if the "descrip- ton" tallied, and then with bow restored the document and told him to proceed The first dishes on the hotel menu were: "Calf's head, pigs trotters, shoulder of mutton

DEPORTEO LABOR.LEADERs
 RETURN ID TRANsvAEL

CAPE TOWN, May 31.-The Natal Witness" publishes details of an al legged scheme for smuggling the de- ported labor leaders back into South Africa. According to the journal the plan is for the deportees to travel by a German liner from a continental port land at Beira or Delagoa Bay, and thence proceed by rail to the Trans vaal border, where a conveyance would be ready to carry them by road to Jo- hannesburg.
 It is stated that money is being col lected in England to defray the eX- penses. and that the arrival will be timed so that the deportees can make a dramatic appearance at a great trade union demonstration during the pro- jected July manifestations. It is even suggested that the moment chosen fol the appearance of the deportees will be during the orations at the grave side of those killed in the riots.
