The City of Buffalo left Cleveland

legislature of 1915, our proportion OF
which we are taxed to pay, and If
any of it is returned to the people OF
Abbeville County it is to communi-
ties amply able to run their own
schools, if they were willing to pay
a local tax such as we pay.
The city of Abbeville pays three
mill constitutional tax for public
schools, and our money goes into a
a jackpot, which is divided out among
the school districts of the county ac-
cording to enrolment. On the Sa-
vannah side of the county hundred
negroes may be enrolled on ten days
attendance, and thus the money Of
this district is transferred from the
funds available for the education OF
our own children to the education OF
the children of other districts.
We have no objection to the child
rem of other districts and other coun-
ties receiving an education and all
the education which their own people
are willing to pay for. But in the
matter of taxation we believe that
every community, as far as possible,
should carry its own burdens. For
that reason we are opposed to pay
ing a si,: mills special tax for school
purposes in this district, in addition
to the three mill tax above referred
to, and to having the latter taken
from US and given to districts which
do not pay a local tax equal to our
own. And we believe it is time for
the members of the legislature from
Abbeville county to quit approprIat-
ing our money for the establishment
and support of rural graded schools,
and high schols, and other schools,
in other counties and towns. We
believe that these people should sup
port their own schools, just as we do.

WEDNESDAY, MAY IL, 1916.
A TIME.sERvING POLITICIAN.

A dispatch from Lincoln, Nebras-
ka, the home of the repudiated wind
mill of the democratic party con-
tains the following:
civilian Jennings Bryan in sign
ed article published today declared
that the democratic party 'must
move toward peace" and thereby cap
ture the "peace" element of the re-
publican party. He said the demo-
Gratis must face the fact that the
united republican party will enter
the campaign with popular majority
of million and three hundred thous-
and votes. He said the vote for Hen
ry Ford. in several states showed a
big peace element in the republican
party.
Mr.. Bryan said the way was open
for President Wilson to conciliate
this element by making a race as a
peace maker"
And William Jennings Bryan was
ever time serving politician. Ev-
erybody should want peace, and we
presume that every democrat wants
victory at the polls, but victory will
not be won by setting of the politi:
cal weather-vanes so as to catch the
popular breezes. When the democra-
tic party shall make a fight on prin-
ciples, and not adopt this issue to get
a few republican votes, and the
other issue to secure a few populists
votes, it will stand better chance
of winning and keeping the respect
of the people of the United States.
And above all things else it should
give William Jennings back to the
populists.
The democrats did not face a pop
ular majority of a million and third
voters when Cleveland was twice
elected president of the United
States. The republican party has
acquired this plurality by reason OF
the decadence of the democratic par
ty under the leadership of Bryan
and his political followers.

A MAD DOG.

The city council should take steps
To get rid of worthless dogs which
run about the streets at all times OF
dav and night. 1t is from these
dogs that we have the so-called mad
dogs which scare people to death at
about this season of the year.
The city council has heretofore
adopted the muzzle law as a preVen-
tive of the ills which come from mad
dogs. but this law has never proved
of much value for the reason that
dogs cannot be kept muzzled, and
it is besides an unnecessary punish
ment on good dogs for the sins OF
the bad element.
We believe that license tag law
would be better. Every man should
be required to secure from the city
treasurer when he pays his dog tax
Incense number, which should be
worn by the dogs on a collar. Any
dog appearing on the streets with
out his number should be arrested
and locked up, and if not reclaimed
within three days he should be shot.
We believe that this will solve the
dog trouble in Abbeville and at every
other place. A dog which is well
fed and we'll cared for has nothing
to 20 mad about, and unless he is
bitten by a worthless "vagrant" on
the streets of his home city he is not
likely to suffer from hydrophobia.

STATE AID TO SCHOOLS.

The following is taken from The
Herald and News, of Newberry:
"Greenville county has fifty eight
schools that receive State aid. Of
these, fifty six are rural graded
schools. The total amount of State
aid going to Greenville county is $14,-
900. Newberry gets aid fo' seven
schools, total of $s95.00. Until
three years ago Newberry got State
nd only for two high schools and the
attle amount for building purposes.
Three years ago six rural graded
schools were established. The four
mill tax has been voted in several
other districts but the requirements
for the rural graded school have been
met in only two or three other
schools. We should have several more
rural graded schools. In some of the
districts the children are lacking"
Newberry is not alone in helping to
pay for the education of the children
of other counties. The county of
Abbeville we believe is receiving the
sum of $500 from the state appro-
priation of $4,000 for needy rural
schools and for extension of school
terms. This means that the people
of Abbeville county are being taxed
and their moneys appropriated by
the legislature for the education of
the children of other counties. Be-
sides this appropriation, we have an
appropriation for high schools,
which is on the increase. A total
Of $296,50O was appropriated by the

Market Irregular
All Stocks Sagging

New York, May 23.-The New York
Evening Suns financial review today
said:
The increasing irregularity of the
market today was the natural reflee-
tion Of heavy profit taking and distri-
butive selling which invited the recent
advance. Initial trading was char
acterized by general advances and
wide openings occurred in Reading,
Union Pacific, the two conspicuous
leaders in railroads.
The former established new high
record for all time at 40 "a. There
was nothing novel forthcoming 10 ex-
plain the advance. AS the session pro-
crossed, Reading lost some of its inn
provement.
Despite good deal Of "churning''
shifting in pool and clique activities
in motor stocks, Mexican issues and
special features, the list developed "
regularly and heaviness
Conditions showed little, change late
in the session. Prices moved with uR-
certainty but standard issnes devel-
oped no rallying tendencies and as a
rule lost little more ground.
