A REASON WHY.

Four young men, it appears have
been arrested in a Florida town, and
in their possession was found a large
amount of stolen goods. Some OF the
stolen property has been sent to
Columbia, whence it came, the rob-
hers. or thieves, having piled their
trade in that city, as we'll as in other
places. The police in Columbia, and
in other cities too, were vigilant.
They did what they could to bring
the culprits to justice.
But the efforts of the police in Co.
lumbia and elsewhere failed, and the
thieves might still be enjoying the
emoluments of their positions but for
n fact-they made the mistake OF
stealing from Uncle Sam; they broke
into a post office. AS a result they
are behind the bars.
And that reminds US that few men
who break the federal punitive laws
escape punishment. No means are
spared and no expense considered
when the hunt begins for the man &C
cwed of crime. He is generally
landed behind the bars and must face
the court and a jury and give an &C
count Of himself.
And that is one Of the reason why
we favor the enactment into law of
the Dyer Anti-lynching Bill. 1t
means that the punishment of lynch
ers, and, therefore, their detection
and arrest will be in the hands OF
federal officers, and that guilty men
will be brought to justice. As sure as
the Bill becomes law lynchers will
take notice and there will be a fall
ing off in the number of crimes of
this kind, not only in the South but
elsewhere. The men who commit such
crimes fear a law with teeth in it.
They fear officers who mean business,
and they fear the light of an impair
tial administrat:o on of just laws. Those
who do not take part in %lynchings,
but who know less, when once the
community must tax itself ten thous-
and dollars to pay for a l~ynching,
will learn how to talk.

MEMBER of Abbeville Family Pass
es in Texas
Hugh C. Middleton has sent the
Press and Banner the clipping
from a Texas paper Of the an
nouncement of the death of DR.
Benjamin F. Calhoun, who was
son of Colonel Patrick Ludlow
Calhoun and Martha league
Calhoun of Abbeville. Col. Calhoun
died in 1862, and Benjamin Cal
houn went to Texas after the Civil
War. The editorial from the Beau
mont Journal follows:
In the passing of DR.. B. F. Cal,
houn, Beaumont has lost a either
who has been active in it's develop
ment for the past 40 years. While he
reached eminence in his profession
and was regarded as one of the most
successful practitioners in the state
he was equally valuable az a citizen
He always took a prominent part ir
public affairs and when in the vigol
of manhood, there was no more ear
nest worker for the city, county and
state.
Born with that true southern love
for what he thought was right, he
entered the Confederate army at the
tender age of Is and fought until the
end. He was mayor of Beaumont at
one time, served on the aldermanic
board and school board. During the
Colquit administration, DR.. Calhoun
was a member of the state board of
health. He also served as city physi-
clan. Regardless of what effect it
might have on his private fortunes,
he was always outspollen in the in
terest of what he deemed right and
in all of his official positions he serv-
ed with credit to himself and his con-
stituents.
A great man, a good man, a kindly
man; simple, in the finest sense, and
of an almost incredible honesty.
Widely known and widely loved, he
will be widely mourned.

TIL CITY SCHOOLS.

We know that the people of this
school district read with a good deal
of sorrow and apprehension the an
nouncement by members of the
school trustees that the schools in this
school district might not run this
year more than eight months. That
would be a calamity.
In the first place, we say that this
should not for an instant be consid-
cred, but it must be considered un-
less some way is worked out by
which the expenses of running the
schools may be provided. 1t is sug-
gested that this will likely be done
for the High School, which it is stat
ed viii lose its standing as we'll as
the right to share in certain appro-
priations unless the schools are run
for full nine months. The students
Of the high school may not enter col
leges in this and other states except
after doing nine months work for 4
period of four years.
The suggestion therefore that the
people by private subscriptions shall
make up one months expenses will
appeal to the people of the school dis
, tr:ct. Those who are able to pay will
cheerfully pay whatever of tuition is
necessary to carry the schools on, and
those who are not able to pay a
months tuition, if such there be,
should be provided for by those more
able to do so. The school authorities,
at the proper time, should take up
the matter with the parents and guar
dians Of the high school pupils and
all should be fully advised of condi-
items and asked to say what they are
willing to do.
It takes something Ike three
thousand dollars to u the schools
for a month according to the present
pay roll, We believe. Now, it may be
that we can keep up the standard of
our schools BY running the graded
school for saly eight months the pres

emit year. Perhaps by doing extra
work the ground may be covered, but
one year with another we may not
expect to do nine months work in
eight months. If we are to have as
good schools as other towns of like
Importance, we must have nine
months of school work. W. can raise
the money, the three thousand dol
lars for the extra month this year,
we believe, by private subscriptions
and thus run the graded school for
the full term just as we run the high
school for the full term.
We would like to see the Parent
Teacher Association begin a cam
paign now to raise the necessary
funds for this purpose. The money
will come if the ladies at the head
of the organization make a persistent
fight to that end.

ATHLETICS

We are reprinting from the Abb
beville Press and Banner a very
sane and sensible article on this
subject, or rather we should say
mainly on athletics as they are
nov in our schools and colleges.
No sensible man or woman would
enter any protest against athletics,
because we must all realize that a
certain amount of manly sport Is
necessary to the right development
of the boy or girl, but there is such
a thing as magnifying it beyond
what should be its proper place in
our schools and. colleges, and we
have about reached that point. 1t
has gone from the college to the
high school and the rural graded
school and on down to the smaller
schools. This is just like all educa-
ton, it m from the top down
and not from the bottom up, but
it seems to US that the pendulum
has swung too far to one side.
We are reminded of what we
heard a prominent educator say a
few days ago. He has been a teach
er for many years. He remarked,
in talking about schools and COL
leges, that he had lived to pass
through four stages of education.
The first stage was that education
had for its aim scholarship, and
then it was scholarship and attn
letics and then athletics and
scholarship and now it seemed to
him that its aim was athletics. 1t
is too true that the college that
does not have a good football and
a baseball team that can play ball
is not considered very much and
the coach is of more Importance
in the eyes of many than the pres
ident or the professor of English or
of any other branch. And from
what we have, heard the coach is
about the biggest paid professor in
the institution. And the next step
is the tendency to commercial:ze
the sport. 1t is high time for the
educators and leaders among our
people to stop and think and con-
slider.
But these matters will all adjust.
themselves sooner or later. The
world is going through the great
est transition period in all history
in all departments and it will take
time to get matters properly ad-
justed, but we will come to a sane
basis in all things sometime soon.

the truth about this, it is certain
that the tine is at hand in this school
district for the real leaders here to
begin to make plans to have the
schools run next year more economi-
cally than they have been run hereto
fore. Instead of undertaking to prove
that we do not pay teachers enough
efforts should be put forth to find
teachers who are willing to work in
our schools for such salaries as we
are able to pay. Certain. it is that we
cannot pay high salaries when there
is no money to pay with.
1t was stated to US in times past
when we were on the Board of Trus-
tees that we should pay better sal
aries and get better teachers. We
took but little stock in a lot of that
talk then. We have nothing to say
against any teacher in the public
schools of this city now, but we OBJ
serve the work and the individual
teacher will not rank higher in our
judgment than was the rank of our
teachers five, ten or twenty years ago.
Let it be understood that this pap
er is not dissatisfied with the manage
ment of the schools by Maj. Fulp.
The Press and Banner believes that
Major Fulp has done a good work for
the schools here. We believe that he
is by far the best organizer the
schools have had since we have known
anything Of them. In order to keep
him the Press and Banner believes
that we should make great sacrifices.
Were the times now normal we would
advocate the levying of a greater
tax for the purpose of raising money
to continue to pay him more and
more as his usefulness grows. We
would not begrudge to any teacher
the salary he or she is now receiving
or even more. But it must be appar-
ent that times are not normal and
that more money cannot be now rails
ed, and the teachers, the officers, the
members of the Board of Trustees
who. would see the schools continue
to u and do the best possible work
under all the circumstances must
turn their ear to the cry for economy
and be willing to sacrifice something
for the public good.
