AS TO COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
Agitator Finds Objections-Knife
Should Cut Both Ways.

Oakway, Jan. 15.-Editor Keowee
Courier: Permit me TO express my
appreciation of your recent editorial
on compulsory education. The necec-
sity for such a law is obvious to all
of us who have the best interest Of
the future citizens of our State at
heart, but a few of us also realize
that there are many things to be
should be compelled to send our chill
dren to school.
For one thing, the competency and
moral reputation of those who pose
as teachers should be considered.
think the person who is placed in the
school room TO train our sons and
daughters by precept and example
should have reputation like
Caesars wife-abOve suspicion. If
such is not the case, under the pres
ent law, we can keep our children
from school; but If we have a COM
pulsory attendance law we are at the
mercy Of the trustees. Gin my OPT
ion, if a trustee should even attempt
to place a teacher in the school room
who has a reputation for gross i'm
morality, that action should auto
matically remove that trustee from
Office, he having shown by such an
effort that he is unfit to be over the
children of the community
Again, if we are to have a compul-
sorry attendance law for the children,
let us have one for the teacher also.
Every summer the State goes to great
expense to provide a school for the
benefit Of the teachers, and yet a
pitiably small per cent of our teach
ers attend. Why? Is it because
they are so highly educated that they
cannot be taught in the county sum-
mer school? If that is the case, the
State summer school is open to them

been teaching a long time, have never
been regular attendants at summer
school, and have not attended at al

CHILD MET HORRIBLE DEATH.

(Tugaloo Tribune, 12th.)

Bessie, the ton-year-old daughter
OF Rev. and Mrs. w. J. Spearman,
who live at the Sheldon Mill place,
ten miles below Westminster, met a
horrible death last Wednesday by
getting her clothing caught on line
shaft at her fathers cotton gin. Her
little eight-year-old sister was
caught in the shafiing first, and, see
ing her sister in such a perilous con-
dition, little Bessie made an effort to
rescue her. In so doing her clothing
caught around the shafting and her
body was hurled to death. The little
girl whom she tried to rescue escaped
with a broken leg. 1t seems that
their clothing was wet from the rain
and easily rolled up on the shafting.
Their father was in the gin house

identified him as Alan Law to Mr.. Bar
Gus, and forthwith dropped to the wa
ter, feet foremost.
Alan later took the water neatly,
came up uninjured and clearheaded,
and without an instant's hesitation
struck away toward the middle of the
Hudson.
AS this happened the police ran to
the stern OF the square-rigger, IN
moored dory that was riding there,
and threw themselves into it.
During the Ito Barcus, at least)
breathless suspense of that chase, the
ferryboat drew stolidly farther and
still farther away from the scene. Bar
Gus could not tell whether, as it
seemed, the police-laden dory was real
ly overhauling Alan, or whether the
illusion of perspective deceived him.
At all events, it seemed a frightfully
near thing when the interruption be-
fell which alone could have saved
Alan.
Out Of the very sky dropped a hydro
aeroplane, cutting the water with a
long, graceful curve that brought il,
almost at standstill, directly to the
head Of the swimmer, and at the same
time forced the police boat to sheer
widely off in order to escape collision.
Immediately the swimmer caught
the pontoon of the hydroaeroplane,
pulled himself up out Of the water,
and clambered to the seat beside the
aviator. q
Before he was fairly seated the plane
was swinging back into it's fastest
pace
With the ease Of wild goose it left
the water, mounted the long grade Of
an air lane, described a wide circle
above the bluffs of Weehawken, and
swept away southwark.
In that quarter it was presently lost
to the sight of Mr.. Barcus, engulfed in
light folds of haze that were creeping
in from Stewards to dim and tarnish

1t seemed an hour before he worked
himself up to the cowcatcher-now

Of the special
On this last he could see a woman's
figure indistinctly silhouetted against
the light through the door, and beside
her man In white coat, clinging for
dear life to the knob of the door
holding it against the frantic efforts of
some persons inside to tear it open
Another hour of suspense dragged
out-or such was the effect-while the
light engine with intolerable slowness
bridged those four scant feet.
At length it was feasible to attempt
the thing. Rose Che could see her
strained white face quite plainly now
was half over the rail of the car ahead
ready to jump.
His heart failed him. 1t was too
hazardous a risk. He dared not let her
take it.
Something very like shot sounded
from the train and something very like
bullet whistled past his cheek, and
proved the signal for several more.
Strangely, that knowledge steadied
his nerves. Straining forward and
holding on to a bar so hot that ii
scorched his palm, he offered hand
to the girl on the rail.
Her hand fell confidently into it. She

catcher He heard her breathe his
name, then hurriedly passed her be-
tween himself and the boiler to the
footway at the side. The fireman was
waiting there to help her. Alan turned
his attention to Barcus.
To his dismay he found that the en-.
CINE was losing ground. The space
was widening rapidly as Barcus re-
leased the knob and threw himself
over the rail.
BY a miraculous, flying leap, the
man accomplished that incredible feat
and gained the platform.
An instant later ten feet separated
the engine from the special, as the en-
gineer applied the brakes.
And this he did none too soon: for
at the same time MaTrophat and an
other appeared on the rear platform
and opened hot, but, thanks to the
widening distance, Intellectual fire.
The engine ground slowly to halt
as the rear lights of the special train
swept from sight round a bend.
