The Exhibition at Liberty.

-Mr E;litor We had the pleasure of
attending the examination at Liberty on
the 23rd
The examination was satisfactory, and
the students manifested considerable zeal
in the cause. The dinner was good, and
all participated to their satisfaction, for
there was plenty.
The exhibition in the evening was intor-
cstng and amusing. Many hearty laughs
were sent out upon the cool breeze, when
SAM told how he got his wife. The cxer-
cses were intcrsperscd with songs by a very
small boy, which pleased everybody.
Mr.. CLAYTON delivered an appropriate
address upon education, after which the
crowd dispersed in peace.
Long may this institution prosper, and
may its students so on in their progress
until they lay up sufficient store of knowl-
edge to make them useful and happy. Ac-
ccpt our sincere thanks for your hospitality,

The Common Schools.

1t isplcasing to record the interest which
is being awakened, in this State, on the
subject of "Commou Schools" The recent
exhibition in Charleston, on the 9TH of July,
was complete success Speaking of it,
the Cheraw GozeUe says:
ave do not know when we have read
any document that afforded us so much
pleasure us the report of the Board of Com
mon Schools in Charleston, read by Col. G.
G.. Mcmminger, Chairman. The reports
of the Board of Visitors of the male and
female departments, and of the primary dc
department., were equally interesting
These schools, we believe, owe their origin
and success almost entirely to the gigantic
and porscycring cXcrtious of Mr.. Mcmmin-
ger.
"l'hc Registers of these schools exhibit
the names OF 1903 children under tuition.
OF these, 00l arc on the registry of the
school i'll st. Phillip street The whole
cost of these schools for the year ending
July lst, has been $21, ,l45 an average
of the annual expense of each pupil $l3.19,
including books, maps, &c. The system
of free instruction to all classes of society
has been adopted in these schools with the
best results. Ifit be possible, VIC shall at
an carly day lay Mr.. Mcmmingcrs report
before our readers, believing it to contain
many facts and suggestions of the gravcst
importance to all having the charge of cd
ucating the masses. We can sec 10 reason
why our children should not enjoy the ben
cits of such an instruction as the Free
School i'll st. Phillip street, at least upon Il
small scale. Who can calculate the bcnc-
fits of such an institution? If the whole
expense of the South Carolina College, as
has been declared by an eminent statesman,
was compensated by the education of Nc
Dutlio, might we not reasonably hope that
the small sum necessary to secure us such
school would likewise be compensated by

The Examination at Liberty.

The examination of the School at Liberty,
under the care of Mr. HoLLINcswoRru took
place on Friday the 23d instant. The school,
we understand. is an excellent ono, and the
teacher is giving general satisfaction
The examination was thorough aud satisfac-
tory, the students evidcncing degree of ad-
yancement in their studies, which reflected
credit ON themselves and the teacher
There were n large number present, num-
bering near 1000 persons. The citizens of
the neighborhood, with their we'll known lib
erality, furnished an abundant pic mic, to
which ample justice was done.

Honor to Whom Honor is Due.

Among the remarkable men of the day,
there are none OF his age more so than the
distinguished representative of our noun
tain Congressional District, Hon. James
l.. Orr. Still young man, he has with
out apparent effort succeeded in reaching
one of the highest and most honorable posts
in the American Government. This sue
cess is certainly not of that fimsey kind
which is sometimes attained by mere per-
sonal address. Neither can it be said to
have resulted, as some have enyiously con-
jccturcd, from political trickcry and in
trigue. Col Orr, we take it, is as far from
political dishonesty as he is from the prac-
tice ofhypocritical monnerism. His course
has been that of a DOWNRIGHT man and an
outspoken representative, whether in home
differences on Congressional controversies
Yet he has gone straight forward in an al
most unnpeded career of success. II is
his manly ability which has carried him
along to his present elevated position be-
fore the country. In testimony of the fact
that he has evnccd the highest qualifca-
tions for that position, we quote the follow
ing striking compliment paid him by the
intelligent Washington correspondent of
the Alabama Confederation
"Col. Orr has proved himself most capa-
bic of performing the arduous and rcspon-
sible duties as presiding officer over the
greatest dcliberative body in the world, aud
| claim for him unhesitatingly that if lie is
not the superior, he is the equal of any Of

Railroads.

The opposition to the Blue Ridge Railroad,
If not within our district, is Mt work out of it.
Further appropriation is resisted upon vari-
however, are The impracticability of the
cnterprizc, and that, if compctcd it would
not be romuncrativc to the State. The first
objection is answered by the progress that
las already been made ON the work at the
most difficult points. The work has only to
be viewed to make this manifest to those who
are disposed to see for themselves. The 9TH
er conjecture is net so easily mot but, if the
facts which are spread out before us in anoth-
cr State are correct, the difficulty vanishcs
The State Road of Georgia is now paying in
to the treasury of that State monthly the nett
sum of 900; which, when aggregated,
amounts annually to about the sum total of
our State tax. This amount is derived from
n neighboring road, which falls short of the
business advantages of our route. And, be-
sides, the increase of the value Of real estate
and other property, must be taken into CON
sideration, as well as the advancement of the
interests of the country generally. And,
Ihoreovcr, the completion of our road will
open up trade with the West, and bind her
vast commercial interests to ours, that will
rival the most reasonable calculations of its
friends. If, then, it is profitable, as well
as we'll as an important enterprise, why
should we hesitate to assist in its completion.
No valid reason can be assigned for withhold
ing the needed support, and VIC trust that no
more lame excuses and empty pretcnccs will
be urged against it.
