school is open and inviting the
child to come, any normal parent
will make every sacrifice TO get
the child in. If the state equip
ped the child for school where
the parent was not able to do so,
that would put the matter in a
different light, but to come in
and say a parent shall do thing
when he is not able TO do it, it
seems to us is going just a little
too far. Then again most chill
dren that are going to do any
good with an education will get
one any way under, our present
system of free schools. They may
be late about it, but will get in
school in time. We have a law
now that goes far enough if en-
forced, perhaps a little too far

COMPULSORY EDUCATION

There are two sides to consid-
or in passing the compulsory
education laws, the interest of
the child and the interest of the
state. OF course every one will
agree that it is the best interest
of the state that all its citizens
be educated, and as rule the
better educated they are, the
the better citizens they make.
On the other hand the interest
of the child has TO be considered,
and while it is TO the interest of
the child ordinarily to be in
r. school, vet this may, in some ca
ses, work a great hardship on
both the parent and child, and
there are cases. numerous cases,
where it is not possible for the
parent to put the child in school

had confidence enough in the
county court to know that it

going to Hope from time TO time

the petition acted on? And do
you think that when the court or

Digging of Drainage Ditch
Will Necessitate Moving
100000 Cubic Yards
of Dirt.

The commissioners for OZan
Drainage Dist. No. ?, the second
drainage district to be formed in

bids for the opening of a drain
age ditch through the district.
The contract for digging the

length, is TO be let January "a.
The district is on the south fork
of the Ozan creek and extends
from the Grand View plantation
to where the north, south and
middle forks of the Ozan inter
sect. The district was formed
some time ago and j. w. Butler,
j. d. Barrow and j. G. Garland
were appointed commissioners
by the county court.
The opening of the ditch as
proposed will reclaim some Of the
best lands in the state, now un-
certain because of overaows, and
and to construct it according to
specifications of the engineers
will necessitate the moving of
100000 cubic yards of dirt.
Ozan Drainage Dist. No. /, for

NEGRO SOLDIERS PLANNED
TO SHOOT UP HOUSTON
Citizens Committee Finds
MurderOuS Outbreak Was
Premeditated

HOUSTON, Tex, Sept. 12.-Nesro
soldiers Of the Twenty-fourth United
States infantry had planned a riot or
bloodshed among the white residents OF
Houston two days before the deadly
outbreak, which cost the lives of fifteen
Houston citizens August 20, according
TO the report of the civilian board or
inquiry which reported to the Houston
city council last night. The report also
criticised Superintendent of Police
Brook for his inability to enforce dis
cipline among the police and declares
that "he is not qualified for the posi-
tfon he holds"
The committee is of the opinion that
the riot undoubtedly was precipitated
by two arrests of negroes made by the
police, although sufficient evidence was
presented at the hearing to reveal the
fact that a serious disturbance was IN
tended by some of the negro soldiers
before leaving Houston and the arrests
referred to simply brought 1t to a head
sooner and perhaps intensified the
crimes which followed
Continuing the committee says that
the "undisputed and convincing testi-
mony of witnesses proves that the ne
gro soldiers went forth to slay the
white population indiscriminately; that
no negro was hurt or molested by
them, not enc negro home was FREQ
into and that the negroes were warned
before and during the riot to stay off
the streets

Catch Alleged Stacker
As He Applies For His
Pay at Camp Gordon

No smart Alex" is smart enough to
be a Stacker and get away with it. is
the opinion of Deputy United States
Marshal c. H. Livsey, who on Tuesday
afternoon arrested Raymond Witcher a
negro, on a charge of failing to register
under the selective service law.
According to the marshaPs office,
Wltcher, who is from Morgan county,
Georgia, had made the boast that he
wasn't going to register because the
United States was not "slick enough
to catch him." The federal authorities
have been seeking Witcher for some
time and finally ascertained that he was
working at Camp Gordon, but when the
officers would go to the camp, they
would find him gone. They state that
Witcher, in order to evade them went
to the paymaster n Camp Gordon to
draw his pay on Tuesday afternoon in
stead Of Saturday, the regular payday
When Witcher applied for his pay
Tuesday however. the paymaster, who
had been informed of the situation, de-
tanned him, though he tried even then
TO escape. according to the officers. He
was, however, placed under the guard
of one of the artillerymen at the camp
who held him until Marshal LNsey
arrived
