The above mentioned subject was

pare paper to be read to the re-
cent District Conference Of the Mann

Matthews A. M. E. Church near Davis
Station, S. G.. read a paper on the
following subject: "Negro Educa-
tional Advantages Poor in Clarendon

was presiding elder of the Manning
District in this county. This is now
my fourth year in the pastorate of
81. James Circuit on the Santee River
Road. When the world war neccs-
STATED the calling Of so many Of our
young educated men to fight for
world Democracy, took the place in
the St. James School of the now Ser
eeant T. II. Ballard and this is now
my second session in said school, I
am vice president Of the Colored
Teachers Association of Clarendon
County so / therefore have had a
chance to learn about the schools for
Negro children in this county and
Of other counties in the State Yes,
the schools for Negro children in other
counties may be poor and inadequate
~, but am interested in the children
Of Clarendon County. We should do
more towards educating our children
in this county. The Negroes of the
county seem to vie with each other
in raising cotton and tobacco, in buy
ing high price mules and horses, new
buggics and second hand automobiles
and in buying land while their chill

rem. our county, the State thecountry
and the world. Would not minority
or some kind Of representation Of
Negroes on the County Educational
Board and the Trustee Boards of the
different School Districts, where we
might explain the true conditions and
offer suggestions help? There seems
to be discrimination and injustice,
which might be cleared up if we could
have friendly and intelligent coope-
ration. We did our bit to help make
the world safe for Democracy" We
did our bit Loyalty to help make the
world better place to live in." We
believe by united cooperation as was
done in the war now closing, the edu-
catlonal advantages of the Negro
children of this county can and will
be bettered. For; this let every lover
Of human uplift, set himself to the
task. Let every true and loyal Clar-

WILSON
MAY RETURN MAY 20

Paris, April l8.-(By the Associat-
ed PreSs-It was stated in well in
formed quarters tonight that the stu
alton of the peace negotiations was
such that President Wilson probably
would be able to sail for home May
20, and possibly by May Is.
The belief was expressed that the
President would call an extra session
of Congress to convene between May
Is and June 1.
Present indications are that the
peace treaty will be signed before
the Presidents departure. Infor-
nation reaching the delegates tends
to show that the Germans are not
planning to take up time and delay
in signing Of the treaty as they desire
settlement of the peace terms at the
earliest possible moment.

The wise will see this. The State of
South Carolina has an educational
test for its voters. It's citizens must
have certain amount of education

lieye, a compulsory education law,
and if Gov. r. A. Cooper keeps up his

so well begun, he will go down in the
history Of this State us South Caro-
l!na's educational governor. But all
this seems to me to be Inconsistent in
view Of the. following figures found
n the last report of the State Supern-
tendent of Education. The figures for
Clarendon County on pages 1874, ETC.,
are as follows. "Receipts from ali

which come from public utilities pat
ronized by Negroes. Some white poll
ticians have advocated distributing the
taxes for school purposes paid by Ne
grocs and the taxes by whites to each
race separately. That is Negro taxes
for Negro schools and white taxes for
white schools only. This might be
better for us if we get square deal
