The York county delegation In the
general assembly Is to make another
effort at the present session, to cor
rect the error that was made when
the line between York and Cherokee
counties was run through the town
Of Smyrna: but with what success re-
mains to be seen.
The constitution of 1895 provides
that no new county line shall be run
through an incorporated town; but
when the new county of Cherokee was
erected. the constitution was violated
in at least two important particulars;
in the first place as to containing the
necessary area In square miles, and

bill No. l." in the general assembly
is a measure to compel the attendance
at school of all children between the
ages of s and 13 years. after ma
jority of electors Of county have
voted in favor Of compulsory educa-
ton. The bill, the first presented in
the house, was offered yesterday. by
Mr.. Harper of Darlington, who faith
cred the compulsory school attendance
bill passed at the last session by the
house. The new bill by Mr.. Harper
provides for holding elections, at some
day to be fixed, in which the electors
will vote For compulsory attend

tendance" In counties in which ma
jority vote in favor Of compulsory at
tendance is cast, the law shall go into
effect. The bill authorizes counties
that reject the law at the special elec-
ton to vote upon 1t at subsequent
general elections. The Harper bill
fled shall be kept in the public school
nearest their home for the entire
term unless excused for physical dis
ability or unless the labor Of the child

parents are unable to pay for them.
A penalty is placed upon parents who
do not send their children to school.

The outlook is that statewide
compulsory education bill will be pass
ed by the general assembly at its pres
ent session. There does not appear to
be any especial enthusiasm about the
matter; but legislators generally seem
to have reached the conclusion that
such a bill should be passed, although
very few Of them seem to have any
definite idea as to why. and passed
it will no doubt be.

According to our understanding Of
the matter, any so-called statewide
prohibition bill that makes provision
