desire is that in each community the
laws shall be enforced by the local
authorities. / take this, the very first
occasion, to say to these authorities
that / stand ready and eager to CO.
operate with them in this work, and
that they may be assured OF my aid
with every available lawful means to
attain this object. Let me add another
word, not as a threat, but as a
warning; if in any community the
lawful authorities fail to enforce the
laws, it will then be my duty to see
that the laws are obeyed. This / in

The constitution provides that the

TIE time has come when we have
to meet new conditions; we are living

hope that we will seek Inspiration
from that example to deal with
state questions with wisdom and cour-

Primary Election Lew.
In my Judgment. the people Of this
state. regardless Of part. owe debt
of gratitude to the last state conven-
tion Of the Democratic party for
adopting rules and re%"lctiocs Govern
ing the primary e'ortinrs. " iS duo

were not justified. and that personal
enrolment. together with the publicity
given to TIE rolls Of the clubs, saved
us from irregularities, and charge
of fraud. So far as I know, the last
primary election was one in which the
will of the PEOPLE was honestly eX-
pressed by their ballots, and these
were fairly counted. I recommend.
Therefore. that your honorable body
shall enact into law for primary elec-

the last Democratic primary election,
In order that, in all primary elections,

to vote. shall have the right and op-

come to us, we must frankly admit
! that we are still far short Of the po-
sition we should occupy in the work
of education. 1t stands to our shame
that the percentage Of illiteracy
among our citizens is so great. This
stain must be wiped out; and to do
this, we must tax ourselves literally
for the public schools, in order that
their usefulness may be increased,
and that the opportunity for educa-
tion may be given to all Of our boys
and girls. We must encourage the
spirit of selfhelp and every dis
trict should first impose a local tax
by the vote of its resident voters be-
fore receiving state aid. Yet. the
growth Of the public schols will be
determined largely by the amount Of
state aid. Weak country schools must
be helped and every community must
be encouraged to have at least a
seven months term, and no teacher
should be required to teach more
! than fifty pupils. The state cannot
/ have an educated and efficient citizen
ship unless it extends help to weak
and undeveloped districts. Any COM
munity voting a liberal tax and en-
rolling forty or fifty children, should
be assured Of adequate educational
facilities 1t is the duty of the state
to make up deficiencies in such dis
tricts. The right-thinking people of
South Carolina will stand for this ex.
renditure of public money and will
indorse the position that we cannot
spend public money better than in
educating the citizen. The people real
ize and demand that the shame of H.
literacy must be blotted out from US
! forever

Mishap To Automobile.

When an eight cylinder Cadillac
automobile struck culvert on the
left side OF the east end OF the jug
Bridge, near New Market, on the Bal
timore State road, between four and
five o'clock Saturday evening, the
steering rod was broken, the front
axle driven back on the spring, and
other minor damage done. There
were eight or nine people in the car
at the time, and although they were
badly scared, none of them was hurt.
The auto was bound for Washing
ton, BY way or Ridgeyille. The driver
of the car said he was not going at
a very rapid rate, but it is thought,
nevertheless, that he was unable to
make the turn to the right at the east
end of the bridge, and consequently
crashed into the culvert.
