IL Statewide compulsory educa-
ton law should be enacted 1t would
necessarily provide for the election
or appointment Of truant officers for
each school district. 1t would be the
duty OF these officers to compile a
list Of all the children of school age
In his district by making house to
house visits. to keep a watchful eye
on the school attendance, to look up
truants. to enforce their attendance
at school where possible to do so
without recourse to law to arrest
tncorrigible truants who refuse
to attend school. although their par
ents are willing for them to do So and
to arrest and prosecute those parents
who fail or refuse to send their chill
dren to shcOol. This Is the custom
and procedure in other States and
counties where compulsory school at
tendance Is enforced. Is South Caro-
Ina ready for a Statewide law en-
bodying this provision? Is the State
able to pay this army of truant ofn.
GERS In addition to the other extraor-
dinary expenses that Statewide
compulsory education law would en-
tail? This Is only small part of the
revolutionary charges in the school
system that would follow the imme-
diate adoption Of the theory that Prof.
Clinkscales Is using as his campaign
platform.

Mayesville, Aug. 13.-what came
near being a serious fire was pre-
vented this morning by timely work
when the handsome residence Of FL.
{. Bland was discovered to be on fire
on the inside. The flames were found
In closet under the stairway in the
lower hall and the house was filed
with smoke. At first 1t was thought
that the house and contents would be
complete loss, but quick work OH
the part OF tho citizens soon had the
iiames under control. The house was
damaged to certain extent and
probably some Of the furniture was
injured in handling. The cause of
the fire Is hard to determin. as no
one was living In the house at pres
ent, Mr.. Bland and his family being
In the north. Mr.. Bland lost another
handsome residence on the same

again. The regular buyers will be on
the market. OF course. the price and
as to whether the planters will put
their cotton on the market will be
determined later. but there Is no
doubt that the smaller farmers will
sell their crop as soon as ginned.
A meeting Of the business men and
planters was held on Monday morn
Ing at the Bank Of Mayesville to dis
cuss the situation in regard to the
cotton market and as to the advis-
ability of building a warehouse here.

WASHINGTON OFFICIALS ARE
EkATED OVER THE OUTCOME

Washington. July 15.-Constitution-
alist diplomats and officials of the
United States government were elated
tonight over General Huerta's volun-
leo and hailed the action as the first
practical step toward a quick solution
OF the Mexican trouble.
They predicted an era Of peace for
Mexico Although the Constitutional
lists have declared they won't recog-
nize Francisco Carbajal as provisional
president and the United States won't
recognize him it is understood he Will
only hold Office until arrangements can
be made for Carranza's entry. Dfplo-
mats in close touch with the situation
say Carbatal and his friends want only
a general amnesty and with this OBJ
tanned the peaceful entry of the Con-
stitutionalists can be negotiated
Huertas retirement came as the
Constitutionafsts were preparing a
formal declination of the invitation to
confer with the Huerta delegates. 1t
IS hoped now they will negottate with
Carbajal and the belief is Carranza
will profit greatly by such confer
ences. 1t would smooth the way
toward recognition by the United
States. The South American media
tors may make another effort to bring
the factions together.
Many diplomats here think Carbajal
will accept the plan OF Guadaloupe and
1t is thought Carbajal may try to get
Immunity for Huerta If he stays in
Mexico City. His friends though.
think he would be safest outside of
the country. He probably won't leave
though for several days and may offer
his services If final stand is made
against the Constitutionalists.
The resignation Of Huerta marks
the successful elimination of over
years efforts by the United States to
force his retirement First John Lind
went to Mexico to try and get him
to withdraw. Then his financial re-
sources were cut OFF and an arms en-

modern skyscraper is a menace to life
was the contention of Franklin n.
Wentworth. of Boston, secretary of

Owners and Managers in convention
here. He urged that the building of
such structures cease.
"Tt Is said that the up and down
traffic on the elevators of New York
City is almost as great as the hori-
Zontal traffic" he said. mo disaster
more horrifying could be imaginable
than that which would occur If New
York City should have an earthquake.
Just enough OF a shock to break water
and gas mains and to snap electric
leads-the loss of life would be ap-
palhng.

aster came during the rush hours
when 100, 900 persons would be in the
