Uufair and Unjust.

1t is very unfair and unjust for
members of the legislature in discuss
| ing the appropriations for the depart
ments of the government to make
personal attacks on the heads of de-
partments, as we understand was the
case in discussion of the educational
department, when some very unkind
remarks were made in regard to Mr..
Swearingen. In the first place, Mr..
Swearingen is not the department.,
and if the appropriation should be
made, it should be without ~eference
to the man who happens at the time
to fill the Office. In other words, what
ever may be the feeling of the men,
ber of the legislature toward any
state officer he should be big enough
to rise above personal felings and
do what is right and just and proper.
In the second place, it is neither
right nor manly to attack man in a
forum in which you are protected and
he has no right of reply or answer.
1t is neither manly nor brave
thing to do. And we are surprised
that certain members of the legisla-
ture have indulged in that sort of
thing, especially in the discussion of
the educational department.
We hold nolbrief for MI. swearin-
gen. In fact, he does not need any
one to defend him, and if he was CIV
en- the privilege of reply in the same
forum there is no doubt in the mind
of any one who knows him that he
could take care of himself. We will
say this, however There is no man
in South Carolina who is better in
formed as to the needs of the schools
than Mr.. Swearingen, and we do not |
believe there is man who is more
in taking progressive steps
in educational matters than he is, and
who is doing more in that regard than
he is. 1t is in no sense a peraonaa
matter, but one that concerns several
hundred thousand children Of this
state and Mr.. Swearingen is only
the spokesman for these little chill
dren and making an honest effort to
help them to develop into true men
and women and to give them the ad-
yantages to which they are entitled.
Dur schools are but the great fac
;ories of the state for the manufac-
;ure, so to speak, of men and women,
md their first duty should be to de-
,elop good citizens. The state through

Poor Richard Said--

the pennies in the world wouldn't have taken Poor <ch
ard Jo movie bought him Aivver paid his street
fare The pennies of hundred years ago were not as

But Poor Richards advice still good And it is no less
valuable when applied to dollars instead of cents.
Every year you spend large proportion OF the money
you earn SO much for clothing SO much for shoes 80
much for things to eat house furnishings, garden Seeds
tools and what not.
There's Just one way to money in making your pur-

where and when to buy to best advantage They help

Your sheet is the educator. It is
needful toget it in the hands of all
