AS TO COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
Negroes Already "Compclled' to At
tend Public Schools.

Greenwood, June 4.-Editor kce-
wee Courier: 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
Constitutional Convention required
that a negro be able to read and
write, or that he hold property, be-
fore 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 people would be
forced to pass a compulsory educa.
ton law to give the white children
the education they would need to
compete with the negro. That ne
gro teachers statement is plain
enough.
SO we have in South Carolina a
compulsory education" law already
for the negroes. Here is what Hon.
Jas. d.. Sullivan, chief Of the com
p%ulsory attendance division Of the
State of New York, replies from AL
bany under date of May 2Sth, 1914.
as TO the effect of the compulsory
attendance law in that State ard
what the people think of it:
"H. b. Blake, Greenwood, S. c..
Dear Sir: Your letter OF inquiry

has made greater progress IN your
State under a compulsory education
law than before such Il law was
pasSed?'
"No other single school statute
has done so much for the cause Of
education in this State as the COM
pulsory education law now in opera

IN 1914.

What a change has come over the
spirit of the times. Just a year ago
the tidings of peace on earth good
will to men seemed an appropriate
tb%enediction. AS we contemplate
Europe bathed in blood, the words
are ashes in our mouth.
Americas i Christmas will be dim
med by the terrible carnage and use
less %butchery going on in France,
Belgium and the eastern zone of war.
1t is the most useless and senseless
war of history and a mockery of, u
boosted civilization. u
1t Is not surprising that Russia and
other nations rejected the overtures
OF the Pope for an armistice during
the Christmas holidays. There is 10
place in war for Christmas. War and
Christmas are as antipodal as the i'm.
agination can conceive.
Christmas chimes and carols do not
mix with the thunder of forty-two
centimeter guns. Hunger, desolation,
disease and pain are the bitter con-
icomita1ts of Europe's Christmas.
United States has a mission which
should sober the celebration of this
year. We are the only great nation
that stands today committed to the
policy of peace on earth, good will
to men. 1t is our duty to assist in re-
storing the world to its accustomed
equilibrium.
This Christmas should serve to
drive the obligation home. United
States has Embossed its purse strings
and poured gifts and food into the
lap OF suffering Belgium. But a higher
and more constructive labor is ours;
that Of bringing about peace at the
first possible moment.

DEMOCRATIC PROSPERITY,

One of the largest beet sugar plants
In Kansas has been forced to shut
down, owing to the operation of the
Underwood tariff. Its nag ex.
plains that Kansas cannot continue
to produce sugar under the present
tariff law. Those interested in the
beet sugar industry explain the sit.
uation Is follows: r
There has been much beautiful
talk about how a way would be found
tby the sugar companies to keep run
ming on a sugar free basis, but it
can't be done. When a manager is
up against the stone wall of the pay
roll and the other operating expenses
it takes more than theory to meet it
we have to meet these bills with
cash. If the foreign manufacturers
can undersell us we can't get this
cash. We have a big investment in
this factory, which we put here in
good faith under a protective tariff.
/ Since the props have been kicked out
from under us and the Kansas farm
! ers have been put into direct compe'
tition with the cheap, ignorant foreign

a great deal Of money by the elimina-
ton of the factory as a profit produc.

ing to still further increase this loss
! by trying to operate it after the day
.of cheap sugar comes.
This matter is all very simple-it
is that we have to pay Kansas farm,
ers more for beets than the buyers
pay in Europe. AS the manager OF
this plant, I don't ask any protection
from anyone If l can buy these t5eets
as cheaply as the managers in Eu.

into this plant to make it pay If we
