Bolivia has published q communication sent

State Executive Committee an important
duty. No olfico on the ticket ia Of greater
importance to tho highest interests of The
State, rs it concerns the causo of education,
which oil citizens feel deep interest in and
ono which nearly concerns religion and
general intelligence. The oflico has been nut
in good condition by its former occupant,
Col. Thompson, and should be so kept. Be.
sides, the education Of Tho masses is essential
to the preservation of free institutions and is
the only thing promotive of that end The
State has, since 1876, made rapid strides on
this line and is developing greater feeling to
further advance this cause. TO secure this
much will depend on tho successor on tho
ticket as well as to win success.
good educational system we'll managed
is of moro importance than good Governor
and requires moro labor and experience. If
we could 80 diffuse education ns to mako our
people, white and black, roadiog people it
would do away with all this campaigning, as
tho people would read and form correct con-
clusions and act on them. 1t would also

Democratic Mass Meeting

Friday last was tho day set apart by the

At an early hour tho poople began to assom

At III o'clock tho meeting was called to

man, who introduced Col. Hugh S. Thomp-
son, our candidate for Governor Col.

cold and sore throat, mado most I'D
mirablo speech, contrasting our present condi.
tion with that which existed prior to 1876,
and taking hopeful view Of the educational
problem OF tho timcs. Col. Thompson mado

one delivered in Anderson by him at tho
opening of tho campaign, We shall not at
tempt to report it for our columns. But mex

OF State, made n spocch which pleased his
audience finely and he was cheorcd through>

Col. Aiken, our candidate for Congress, was
present, aud was called on to present his
0icws on tho various subjects ngtaling the
country. Col. Aikon's health hns not Jccn
good OF late, but ho spoke with his usual ami.
nation and powor. The most Of his re.
marks was taken up in n defense of his vote
oil the naval appropriation bill. This vote
brought him into the company of tho Re
publ'cans and against the almost solid vote Of
the Democrats of the House.
Col. Smythe. one Of the State Senators
from Charleston, was present and was invited
to speak. Wo regret that nll the people of
the county were not present to hear him. His
remarks were plain and pointed and inter-.
spcrscd with racy anecdotes and well pointed
hits at our political opponents.
The band furnished good music for the
occasion. Good order aud dccorum wcro pro.
