Cotton is coming up fairly we'll in

ing difficulty breaking through the
stiff. red top crust.
The chaingang is now working on
the north and south road about a mile
north Of Glover, having practically
completed the grading from the North
Carolina line down to that point. The
work is being done in first class style,
both as to grading and sanding.
There is still some moonshining in
the north western corner Of the coun-
ty; but the country Is being slowly
and steadily settled up and few
years more will, 1t is hoped effect a
general cleanup. Except for moonshine
liquor, it Is reasonably certain that the
horrible tragedy Of Tuesday night
would not have occurred.
Mr.. r. 3. Riddle found the lap robe
he advertised for last week. 1t had
been lost for seven or eight days. and
he had made numerous inquiries along
the road. Immediately after the ap-
pearance of the advertisement it de-
veloped that a negro man had found
the lap robe and left it with white
neighbor.
The right of candidates for the posi-
ton of township commissioner to enter
the primary, is conditioned on thespre-
sentation calling for such a primary.
The petition must be directed TO the
county Democratic executive commit
tee and must be signed by not less
than one-fourth Of the Democratic
voters Of the township. The UNDER
standing is that petitions have already
been signed in several Of the town.

elections will be general.

The Marlboro Convention.-I hav

The Marlboro Convention.-I have
been informed that a request was
sent here from Columbia, by all means
to keep McLaurin out Of the state
convention If such was the case the
orders were fully obeyed. The only
reason that we wanted McLaurin in
the state convention was that he
might oppose the effort that will be
made to disfranchise q large number
of white voters in this state. Don't
we know that the Mccall hotel caucus
and secret conclave tactics, by which
McLaurin was defeated as a delegate
to the state convention, and the man.
ner in which his friends were ignored,
will result to his political advantage?
1t demonstrates to our friends just
what the opposition will do every time
they have an opportunity. and Marl-
boro county will be carried for Blease
and large majority for McLaurin this
year.
Now then, in reference to reform
ing the primary: Who heard any
thing about the primary being wrong
until after the election in 1912, when
Governor Blease defeated Judge Ira
B. Jones? The purpose Of the pri-
mary was to allow every white Demo-
crat in South Carolina to cast his
ballot unmolested and without hind
rance or confusion. Had Judge
Jones been declared elected governor,
would there ever have been one
single charge of fraud or irregularity
from those who then and now charge
it? Would the legality Of the one
hundred and forty thousand votes
cast ever been questioned? No-and

AS we see 1t, the principal concern
about the next state convention is
whether or not 1t will be the last un-
der the auspices Of united Demo
cratic party. 1t will be an easy mat

If it wants to. and If the convention
does what the leaders of the controll-

After the Richland Democrats mel
in convention Monday and elected a
full Conservative delegation to the
state convention, the voters Of Colum
bia went to the polls on Tuesday and
turned down the Conservative candi
date for mayor, and put two personal
and political friends Of the governor
in the second race. The next mayor OF
Columbia Is to be a Reformer This
circumstance among other things
would indicate that the primary is
rather more effective index Of senti-
ment than is the convention.

The office holders and candidates
were at the county convention Mon
day: but it was a very noticeable fact
that they were there only as very
much interested spectators rather than
as delegates. The only office holders
in the convention were Messrs. Halle
Hutchinson and Black. Capt. Black and
Mr. Halle voted consistently one way
and Mr.. Hutchison followed the ma
jority, voting with the Reformers on
the first roll call after they had won in
the preliminary organization, and
with the Conservatives after they had
secured q majority by reinforcements

The scandalous developments of per-
Jury, chicanery and deceit that are
rife in connection with the operations
of Burns and Fielder in the Frank case

to consolidated school, but in 1905 the
expenditure for this purpose amount
ed to $292,213, In Indiana, the eN-
penditure for this purpose in 1904
amounted to $4,000, while in 1905,
$500 geo was expended. This eXpen-
dture for transportation reflects, in
a general way, the extent and prog
ress of this new educational move

that this is an additional burden,
as the expenditure thus made is say
ed in other directions-that is by the
decrease in the number of schools
and economy in their operation.

Wagons are sent out every day to

some of these schools, courses in man

Washington, d. c., April l6.-Cen-
sus reports show that in 1909 there
were 24,O00, 600 children in the United
States of school age, but that only
I17.5O0 900 were enrolled in the public
schools. This would indicate that
there are several million children
who are deprived for one reason Or
another, from obtaining an education,
and there is no doubt that large
Lumber of those are prevented from
attending school on account Of bad
roads. Furthermore, many schools in
the country districts are closed for
varying periods on account of the
impossible condition of the roads, and
many of the schools which are not
closed have nominal percentage Of
| attendance.
While it is true that various rae
tors contribute to increase or decrease
tho attendance at schools in given sec
tons Of the country, it is worthy Of
comment that in the states having a
high percentage of improved roads,
much larger percentage of the stu
dents enrolled, regularly attend the
| schools than i'm the states having a
small percentage of improved roads.
In five eastern and western states
which have large mileage of i'm
proved roads, the average attendance
Of enrolled pupils in 19OS-9 was 50
per cent: while in four southern
states. and one northwestern state
which are noted for bad roads, the
average attendance for the same year
was Ga per cent-S0 per cent in the
good roads states as against 6i per
cent in the bad roads states. I'm the
states first named 80 per cent Of the
roads have been improved, while in
the latter group of states there are
only l II per cent OF the roads i'm
/ proved
That improved roads would benefit
our country school system, there
would seem to be no doubt. Improved
roads make it possible to consolidate
or centralize the schools and to estab
Ush graded schools in the rural dis
tricts. Such schools centrally locat
ed. will accommodate all OF the chil
dren within a radius of from toui
IN five miles. In many communities
having the advantage of improved
roads. commodiOus buildings nave
been provided, more competent teach
ers have been employed, and modern
facilities for teaching have been SUI
plied at a minimum cost. For instance
since the Improvement OF the malr
highways in Durham County, Norti
Carolina. the number of school houses
have been reduced from So to - oi
which Il are graded and have two Of
more rooms. and employ two or more
teachers.
There are at the present time about
. 900 consolidated rural schools IN the
United States. 1t appears that Mas
sachusetts. Ohio and Indiana have
made the greatest progress along
these Ines. and it is rather significant
to note that in these states about one
third of the roads have been improV
ed According to statistics of the
