HOT SESSION IN HOUSE,
BILL TO PREVENT WHITE,
TEACHERS IN NEGRO SCHOOLS,
AND VICE VERSA.
Charleston Delegation Against Meas
ure, but Amendment Excmpting City
LOst--Amcndment to Apply to
Whites in COlOrcd House of Ill Re-
putc.

Columbia, Jan. 27.-The hottest
meeting of the house at this session
was held this morning when Repre-
sentative Fortner of Spartanburg,
called up his bill prohibiting white
people from teaching in negro schools,
and vice versa, under a penalty of
$500 fine or II months Imprisonment.
Impassioned speeches were deliv-
cred in favor of the bill on the plea
that white teachers in negro schools
were for social equality. Opponents of
the bill took the stand that negro
teachers are more liable to teach So
cial equality to negroes than white
teachers. BY vote Of SO to 3S the
house refused to strike out the en-
acting words. BY a narrow margin an
amendment exempting Charleston
county was lost. The Charleston dele
cation started a filibuster of little con-
sequence, demanding roll calls on all
amendments.
The house amended the bill on mo-
ton Of Mr.. Lee Of Darlington to make
the bill apply to the intimacy Of the
races in houses Of i'll repute. Char
lesion demanded roll call but no
member voted against the amend
ment.
After voting down the Lilies amend
ment to make the bill prohibit white
women only from teaching in negro
schools and accepting the Mley
amendment to prohibit white women
from nursing in negro hospitals the
house passed the FOrtner bill to third
reading and adjourned until tomor-
row

De profitably discussed either private
iy or publicly at such meetings.
l would suggest that the county ed
ucational committees get in touch
with the local cOmmitte emen before
the close of the school term and en-
deavor to secure their interest and
cooperation i'm the work of organiz-
ing the Boys Corn clubs and the Girls
Tomato clubs. l feel that no little
of the future progress and develop
ment OF our people along agricultural
lines depends upon the active prose-
cution of this phase Of the work. I
am pleased to be able to state that
the results Of the work Of these va
rious clubs last year, almost without
a single exception, were very gratify-
ing indeed, and 1 trust that the com
Ing season may show even more
satisfactory results accomplished. rhe
work of organizing the girls will be
attempted for the first time this year
in quite number of localities AMI I
trust that this matter may have w lr
h"alty support and cooperation.
Let me suggest that you use the TO-.
c"l press in the prosecution Of the
work. You will almost invariabl ),
find the editor ready and anxious to
cooperate with YOU in any and every
object which has for it's aim the ed
ucational or agricultural uplift of the

ECighth Session.
Some Random Thoughts.

/ want to commend the inclosed
letter from c. c. Wright of the Nat
ional Executive Committee ofNthe
Farmers Union to the members Of
the local unions in Sumter county.
The committee on education Of the
Sumter county union has done some
sood work in the past Witness the
good schools that have been establish
ed, and the splendid work Of county
school day for the past three years.
But there is still much work to be
done and the suggestions of Prof.
Wright are worth considering. Nat
ional superintendent of Education
Claxton Is proposing that the school
run all the year to keep the town
boys out of mischief for the three
months of vacation.
In District No. Is we are having a
smallpox scare and wholesale vacci-
nation Of the school children.
brought 100 points from Columbia
last week and used nearly 70 on Fri
day. Ordered $50 more to complete
the job this week. DR.. T. M. Nc
Cutchen Is doing the work as agent
of the State Board Of Health. We
found in one of the negro schools
that nearly all Of the children over
10 years OF age have been so recent
ly vaccinated that they do not need
to be vaccinated. We hope to make
such thorough job of it that small
pox will be stamped out Of this COM
munity.
The county union made a good Sc
lection of officers last week and it
ought to now take on new life. If
the members of the local unions
would realize how much depends on
their making the local meetings at
tractive we would soon see nearly all
the farmers in the order. The ground
work of the whole system is in the To-
cal union and i am glad to SEQ so
much stress laid on this in the Nat
tional Field, and in the Progressive
Farmer. Now let our county and To-
cal officers press this fact home to
every member of the union in Sum-
ter county and see how strong the
county union will be before another
IL months elapse. Il. w. d.

The adjustment of the trouble In
the police department by the with
drawal by City Council OF the ac-
ceptance OF the resignation of Mr.. J..
*. Sumter. as chief of police. and Mr..
Sumter's reinstatement. which was
brought about last night through the
good Offices OF a committee represent
inT citizens who had pe.itioned Coun-
Gil To reopen the matter, will give
general satisfaction. This solution of
an unfortunate and much to be re-
gretted administrative problem that
bid fair to create friction in the COM
munity was made possible by the dis
passionate and common sense hand
ling OF the matter by the committee
and the spirit OF mutual confidence
ana concession that marked the at
titudes of Mr.. Sumter and members of
City Council. The City Council, as
well as practically all the citizens of
Sumter, wish Mr.. Sumter to continue
at the head OF the police department,
and In recognition of this demand for
his services Mr.. Sumter withdrew his
resignation. There has been no COM
promise OF principle. but a yielding
to public opinion for the good OF the
community. and future problems will
De met and solved as they arise.

Education I'm the Farmers Union.
To the Officers and Members OF the
Farmers Union:
1 am writing you today in the in
terest OF the educational feature of
the organization. / take 1t that we
have an educational committee in each
county union composed OF at least
three active friends of education, and
that this county educational commit
tee has seen to it that each local
union has like committee. This
matter has been stressed for years, In
season and out OF season, and in case
there should be an organization any
where, either county or local. without
such committee this fact alone would
be convincive evidence that the word
educational as used i'm the title of
the order Is a misnomer for these
unions at least. / can not think that
any body of organized farmers in
this country. where educational op-
portunities on the farm have not in
the past been all that has been de-
sired, would neglect such an import
ant and "a far reaching matter as
this.
1t was the intention of those TAX
ing the Initiative i'm this work to have
the various committees. both local
and county. to work in hearty CO.
operation with the school authorities
both county and local in their ef-
forts to improve existing conditions
along educational lines.
My object in stressing this matter
just at this time Is to direct your at
tention to the fact that the rural
schools I'm quite number of COM
munities will soon be closing, and
to say that these occasions usually
furnish excellent opportunities for the
/ discussion Of various matters per-
tanning to the educational work of
the communities where these exer-
members of these educational com
mittees to attend these gatherings
and to discuss with the patrons and
the friends of education i'm the com

NEW YORK. July 17.-Opening with
