Card From MIR. w. E. Lott.

Mr.. Editor: Since some feeling
seems to be existing about the petitions
being circulated for the election of
trustees IN this school district, we
wish to say that there are quite num-
Der of people, in this district who be-
lieve that the trustees of our school,
in fact more than the petition shows.
Any argument that holds for the cleo
tion of any officer, from U. S. Senator
to magistrate, will hold for the cleo
ton Of school trustees, and any argu-
ment that can be brought against the
election of school trustees can be
brought against the election of U. S.
Senator. 1t is merely an extension of
democratic principles. The people
have just as much right to say who
shall be trustees as who shall make the
laws or who shall execute them. Those
who pay the taxes to support a school
ought to have voice in its manage
ment 1t is but just.
Hon. John E. Swearingen, Supt. of
Education of South Carolina, in re-
cent letter said, that there were a
great many school districts in South
Carolina now electing trustees, that it
was growing in favor, and that it was
his personal opinion that they ought to
be elected and serve for three years.
One trustees term should expire
every year.
Since this question has been placed
in its present situation no action is ex-
pected, out it is not settled and will
not be settled until it is settled right,
not according to my views of right,
nor any other one man sviews of right,
but by an enlighted public sentiment.
We are not contending against per.
sonalities, we are contending f6
principles.
l thank you for your courteous per-
mission of space.
Yours truly,
W. E. Lott.

MIR. T. A. Hightower. the oapa-
BILE and popular superintendent of
the Addison Mills, spent the week
end in Spartanburg, his former
home. He returned to Edgefeld
Monday morning, being accompa-
MED by Mrs. T. G. Greene, Mrs.
Hightower's mother, who will spend
several months in Edgefeld.
Instead of going on the legisla-
tive junket TO Rock Hill Friday, as
guests of Winthrop college, Sena-
tor B. E. Nicholson and Represen-
tative n. G. Evans acted the part
of wisdom and came home, remain
ing until Monday. The Advert
ser has never been in favor of these
side trips by the legislature.
A representative of the post. office
department came to Edgefeld sew
eral days ago to arrange for the re-
moval of the post-office from the
building which it now occupies.
There are two buildings under con-
sideration, the vacant store under
the opera house and the store on
the corner next door to 3. B. Jones
store.
The law has been so changed
that it is not optional with the in
dividual whether the communication
tax of two dollars be paid or work
six days in lieu thereof. The law
now requires all persons liable to
road duty to pay two dollars COM
mutation tax. The time for the
payment of this tax will expire
March Is. Better pay the two dol
lars by that date.
Are you among those who do not
believe the boil weevil will confe to
Edgefeld? Well, if you are you
will yet regret that you failed to
prepare. Better begin to diversity
this year. You will profit by the
change, even if athe weevil does not
reach this section for five years
Those who have made a study of
the weevil and it's habits say it will
reach Edgefeld inside of three
wears.

Officials Visit Mill.

The Addison Mills were visited
last week by several of the officials
higher up, among these being Nj.
Henry G. Everett, Jr., of Boston,
treasurer, Mr.. A. R. Dickinson of
Atlanta, general manager, and Mr..
H. Newton Marshall of Boston,
general contractor. Mr.. Marshall
came down to inspect the many i'm
provements that are being made
upon the property.
Beginning with Monday the Ad-
dison Mills made an increase in the
pay of their operatives, which will
help very materially in meeting the
increased cost of living.

HARD TO GET JOBS.

Not every colored person who
goes North finds a job easily, Hol-
way said. Unless negro has

ted, he is likely to stay in the
large city several days before find
ing work, and then be may not get
anything to do. The employment
bareaus have certain days to hire
white and certain days to hire
colored labor, and there is always
long line of men applying for
jobs.
Il saw many who apparently had
nothing to do, and some Of them
were out of money and behind on
board," he said.
Conditions in Camden, N. j.,

than in Philadelphia, in the opin.

was given even rougher treatment

Realizing that many negroes of

congregation Of the Springfield
church decided last month to send
Holloway North to get frst-hand
information there and to report it to
the church upon his return. He

will hear him with interest.

PHILADELPHIA FIRST.
Holloway went to Philadelphia
first. He played to some extent the
role of a detective, having told sew
eral Influential negroes with whom
he soon became acquainted that he
might want work. He says he was
taken to one of the large steel
plants and underwent a thorough
physical examination, which is
required of all applicants for posi-
tions.

had been raised in this part of the

Holloway was very much i'm
pressed with the danger to human
life in the steel plants, especially to
" green" bands. Over the entrance
to one of the large departments he
says he found this sign: Make
your peace with your God!" And
he discovered that the warning was
not without meaning, for many col
ored people, who have had expe-
rience only on the farms of this sec.
tion, have lost their lives trying to
do the new work. Il did not find that
very many were SICK" he said, but
it certainly is a fact that large num-
bers of them have been killed in the
steel plants"
