HIs FIRST SERMON SUNDAY

Mr. E. K. Counts, a son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joe Counts Of the Central COM
mun;ty, and a student OF theology at
the seminary in Columbia and a
graduate of Newberry college and
a member of the St. Pauls church,
preached his first sermon at St. Pauls
last Sunday morning. Those who
heard it say that it was good ser
mon and delivered we'll and they are
proud that he who comes from their
church and community. This congre-
CATION has given many young men
to the ministry of the Lutheran
church and at one time had the rec
ord of furnishing more students and
more graduates and more ministers
to the Lutheran church than any
other congregation in the synod OF
South Carolina. 1t was very thought
ful of Pastor Koon to insist that Mr..
Counts preach his first sermon in his
home church. We were down there
and expected to attend preaching but
we were under the impression that
the service was half past eleven,
whereas it is II o'clock and we reach
ed the church too late for the serv-
ice. We always enjoy going to this
old church.

NEARLY 100000 PUBLIC SCHOOL
CHILDREN ON BOOKS.
Office Of State Superintendent Of Ed.
ucatioa Shows Result Of Compui-
sorry Attendance Law.

The State.
The Office of state superintendent
of education has just completed the
tabulation of school enrolment for
the scholastic year ending June 80,
1920. The grand total of pupils
shows 47S,G45. This means clear
gain Of s9,o32, or 22.9 per cent,
over the preceding year. The prev
ious maximum was 415,766 in the
scholastic year 1915-16. This figure
falls 62,279 below that of last year.
According to the census Of 1919,
approximately IS per cent. of the
states population was white and SIS
per cent. was colored. Every year
since the establishment of the public
school system, the enrolment has
shown a majority of negro pupils.
For the year just ended the blacks
exceeded the whites by 25,935.
In 1910 the public school enroll
ment was 22.6 per cent. of the states
population. The percentage for 1920
will make an Interesting calculation
| as soon as the census figures are
published.
The figures in enrolment for the
last ten years afford an interesting
and suggestive comparison. The
| number of white pupils has risen
from 156,O51 ten years ago to 1885,
O65 today an increase of 70,O14. Dur
ing the same ten years the number
of negro pupils has risen from 1884,
364 to 251,980, an increase OF ST.
616. This is a significant index to
the trend of population in the state.

ports of a Countrywide Scope in
National OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
to Proceed Without Inter-
ruption.

New York, Sept. 3.-Maclay
Hoyne, states attorney of Illinois,
before leaving New York today for
Chicago, said that two New York
men, whose names he would not di-
vulge and who are neither baseball
men nor gamblers, have given him
the sort of corroborative evidence
needed to make a strong case against
the 'sfixers" of last years worlds
series.
Mr.. Hoyne intends to place the evl-
dence before the grand jury in CHI
cago just as soon as he reaches there.
He said the two men are willing to
testify.

The distribution Of pupils IN town
and country schools is also interest
:.r. In town schools as reported the
enrolment of white boys was 50,-
353 and Of white girls 81, ,227, giving
a total Of 1O1, $50. In country schools
the white boys numbered 63,724 and
the white girls 60,761, making total
of 124.AS5.
Whites Move to Town.
The same items for the negro chill
dren show that boys in town schools
numbered 27,7S6 and girls 33,z69,
making a total enrolment in the ne
gro towr schools Of 61,255: This
figure indicates that the negro Chill
d,en are remaining on the farm IN
direct cort 'astt with the urban tend
eacv among white children. For the
negro country schools the boys num-
bered 91,140 and the girls 99,5S5,
mailing a total of 190,725. In this
classification all incorporated places
are grouped among the town schools.
The federal census designates as
rural any town or village with fewer
than $500 inhabitants.
It is O. difficult matter to collect
statistics from private and parochIal
schools, says Mr. Swearingen. This
class of children probably numbered
between 10000 and 10000. The col
leses enrolled for both races and
both sexes between 10000 and 49,
600 students. 1t is safe to claim that
at least 100000 of the states lnhaol-
tants were taking some kind Of school
training last year, says Mr.. Swear
ingen.
These gratifying results are IN
part due to the prosperity of the
state, but they are in much larger
measure due to the operation CT the
compulsory attendance act, says Ar.
Swearingen. The SIS attendance Of
fcers were paid sG6,OOO from the
state treasury in salaries. In 4 few
counties they were allowed adui-
tional amounts for travelling eX-
penses. II seems safe to claim that
for every dollar expended in this way
one additional public school pupil was
enrolled. Such program is not only
the best remedy and preventive OF
illiteracy, bnt also the sursst guar

Chicago, Sept. 20.-A stiff battle
between two arms cf the law which
have been investigating the crooked
baseball playing here, is expected
when Maclay Hoyne, states attorney
returns from New York to Chicago
tomorrow.
He sent an order from New York
Wednesday night to halt the proceed
ings of the grand jury which has IN
dicted eight White Sox players, three
of whom confessed to throwing" the
last worlds series to Cincinnati Tor
the benefit of gambler syndicate.
His order, however, has been ig-
nored and the grand jury which ended
its regular session tonight Will be
reconvened Saturday in special ses-
sion to continue it's probe in the
greatest scandal in the history OF
sports.
II will take next the activities CT
the Chicago Cubs to determine
whether some of those players were
ssfxed" when they lost game TO
Philadelphia on August 81.
The decision to continue the IN
vestigation was made by Chief JUS
tice Mcdonald.
Investigation to Proceed.
"The investigation will proceed
without Interruption he said today.
"The indictments will be returned IN
the regular way. This grand jury will
he continued as q special grand jury
and will not send its deliberations
until the scandal affecting the great
national game is cleaned up
He limited that the inquiry would
not only hit crooked players and
gamblers in Chicago and New York.
but 'sfxers" in other cities where
major league games are played.
Hartley Replogle, assistant states,
attorney is also convinced that the
probe should continue. He also wants
congress to act.
"We have now discovered that
baseball games have been bought ana
sold," he said, ''by unscrupulous
gamblers and players. There must be
no repetition of this scandal.
Congress should pass an act max
ing it a felony by any one to offer a
bribe to any. baseball player to play
our national game other than on Us
merits, also making it felony fer
any player to accept bri5e. Let
congress act"
It is certain that the jury's report
will contain this recommendation.
Regarding Immunity.
Judge Mcdonald was asked If other
PLAYERS would be permitted to con-
fess, said:
s'They may confess if they choose
but they must waive immunity. Those
who have already testified have ex-
pressly waived immunity. OF course
if the players aid in wedding out the
evil that will be taken into considera-
ton in imposing sentences.
He was asked under what law t1'
men would be prosecuted.
'There is no question but what
they injured and ruined the business
of Mr.. Comiskey as we'll as the hon
est players on the team who would
have received 50 per cent. Of the re-
