NOTICE TO SCHOOLS OF COUNTY
Time for Compulsory attendance Not
Yet Expired.

There have been various questions
asked about the compulsory school
attendance situation.
The County Board of Education
put the compulsory law" on the
18th Of November, 1920, and to con-
tinue for four consecutive months,
and that time is not yet out, and all
those schools that did not start at
that time will have to complete the
four months, or the whole term, as
some districts have the compulsory
law for the whole term; and in such
schools as do not have a four-months
term, the school law requires the
pupils TO attend the full term.
Now, I have in my hands the evil
dence against several patrons who
are violating this law, and l am only
waiting to get the papers from the
State Board Of Education to take the
action in the premises that the law
says shall be taken, and that action
will be to proceed against the de-
linquent ones.
Now, l am your friend, and want
to help you to send your children to
school, In order that those children
may be able to make better citizens
than you have been. Our sole object
ought to be to make this old world
better by having lived in 1t.
Now. those who think that this
compulsory law" is a fake will find
themselves disappointed soon. do
wish that our legislative members
could see the homes and haunts that
| have visited in some sections of
our great county while visiting the
schools and looking up delinquents.
A community Is Judged by the
schools and churches it has. and
there is something strange when one
Is placed in position to note how
they rise and fall With efficient
preachers and teachers they go right
up. and with deficient preachers and
teachers the communities soon die
away. So 1T is with the counties and
on to the States.

In making this announcement Mr..
Harding declined to 60 into details
about the subjects discussed with Mr..
Hughes during their all-day confer
ence, saying that one Of the policies
of his administration would be to let
each department head speak for
himself. Mr.. Hughes, in his turn, de-
clared no public statement on the
problems ahead would be expedient
at this time.

SOUTH CAROLINA, WED
MANNING SPEAKS FOR ACIsEA GE
observation-disclosures Who DO Not
Yet Realize Seriousness.

Columbia, Feb. 2l.-Speaking at
meeting of the South Carolina Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical Society on
last Wednesday night, former Cover
nor Richard l. Manning declared
that financial ruin faces the South
unless there is material reduction
in the cotton acreage this year. He
declared that there are thousands Of
people who do not yet realize the
seriousness Of the situation.
Mr.. Manning said that there was
large surplus Of cotton on hand,
and that the production Of anything
over half crop this year would
mean ruinous prices next fall He
said that the truth Of the situation
ought to be driven home to every
citizen Of the State
A letter which Is being sent out
over the country by the thousands
by prominent New York banker, in
which the statement is made hal
the welfare of the whole country
rests on the outcome Of the cotton
depression, was quoted by Governor
Manning. The banker warned the
South that credits extended it by the
bankers Of the North would be regu-
lated by the reduction in the cotton
acreage.
Governor Manning urged the So
ciety to lend its hearty support to
the acreage reduction campaign De-
ing conducted by the American Cot
ton Association.
Al the conclusion Of Nj. Man
ning's remarks the society unani-
mously adopted resolution, offered
by Capt. G. N. Nickles, Of Due West,
endorsing the acreage reduction
campaign Of the American Cotton
Association and calling on every far
mer Of the State to not plant over
one-third of his cultivated land in
sc0tton.S The resolu tiont asks :. every
organization IN the state tS support
the campaign being conducted by the
South Carolina division Of the Amer
lean Cotton Association.

tiles. This would be true IL the dis
cipline of incorrigibles were their
first duty, but it is not true IL their
chief duty is to those who are seek
ing an education. So in society.
The criminal has no rights that are
in conflict with the rights Of society.
His right to liberty and even to life
should be held entirely subordinate
to the rights of society and he should
be deprived Of them il he cannot be
trusted to use them without interfer-
ing with the rights of society.
This principle requires a rigorous
enforcement Of penalties for crime.
And the penalty should be adequate
not only to prevent the criminal from
repeating his offense, but to deter
others from becoming criminals. 1t
may be said that the fear Of punish
ment, however severe, will not abso-
lutely prevent crime. This Is true,
and such criminals should be prevent
ed from further injuring society
either by death or by life imprison-
ment, from which they cannot hope
to escape. This would deter large
proportion Of those who now commit
crimes, relying upon the uncertainty
Of punishment, the leniency Of the
courts, the mistaken sympathy or in
difference Of the public and finally
the possibility Of escape from prison
to avoid paying a serious penalty.
The application Of this principle
would prevent the exercise Of leniency
towards morons and others who may
be more or less irresponsible for
their acts. Society should be pro-
tected from them as well as from It's
avowed and responsible enemies. II
weak characters are coddled when
they commit crime, they will grow
weaker and their number will in
crease. The way to make a man re
sponsible is to hold him responsible
for what he does.
II the above principle were thoroly
carried out by the courts and sus'
tanned by public opinion, society
would be better protected from It's
criminals and the number Of criminal:
would be diminished.
