How We Know That We Know

Conclusion of Lecture on Psychology, de.
livered at Howard Female College.
/. We are conscious of thinking.
Whether the Thoughts be true or false,
we are conscious of this mental opera
ton. This is the first fact of knowl-
edge. We know we think, because
consciousness testifes to this operation,
and its testimony cannot be questioned.
2. At this juncture reason adds its
voice to consciousness and declares that
thinking, whether the thoughts be real
or fictitious, true or false, implies a
thinker. The existence of the thinker
is, therefore, an unquestioned fact of
knowledge proclaimed by reason and
attested by consciousness.
Hence we know the operations of
mind by consciousness and the existence
of mind, the thinker, by consciousness
and reason. This knowledge is pri.
mary, ultimate and certain. On it all
other knowledge rests as its foundation.
Beginning thus to know we can
know:
1. The existence of mind and its op.
perations by consciousness.
2. The external world by being con-
scious of its perception.
3. The existence of space, succession
of time, personal identity, infnity, cas-.
uality, and substance by being conscious
of their intuition, which is primary and
immediate knowledge.
Consciousness is therefore the root Ct
all our knowledge, This is briet
statement of how we know that we
know anything. B.

Roads and Bridges.

The Chairman or the County Court
was empowered TO have the county
prisoners worked on the streets. The
tax levied by the court was 20 cents
for county, 20 for bridges, 20 for
schools and 10 for roads. -Jasper
Herald.
We. are glad to see a spirit of true
public enterprise prevailing in our sister
county of Marion. That county
purposes to build iron bridges across
Big Sequachee and Little Sequatchee
rivers. They also purpose to work
their county prisoners on the streets
and thus make them pay for their food.
If this plan was adopted in all the
counties in the State, we would not
only have better streets and roads. but
fewer prisoners in the county jails. A
large percentage Of our Jail birds 60

and we will have fewer of them. and

of their keep. "Let them earn their
bread by the sweat of their brow"
Marion has not only levied a school
tax double that of Warren, but has
levied tax Of 20c for bridge purposes
and selected commissioners to locate
iron bridges across their principal
rivers. This is a good step in the right
direction, and is very commendable in
Marion County Court; good example
fbr other counties, in which good roads
and bridges are so much needed. We
have County Court composed of good
men. They are prudent, and safe, and
very careful of the public treasury.
We are glad they are; but when we
consider the Importance of Warren
as an agricultural and Manufacturing
county, situated as it is, nearly in the
center of the State, and compare the
90 condition of our public roads with those
of our sister counties, we are Of the
opinion that our County Court is a
little too cautious and has not enough
of public enterprise for the good of the
county. We certainly do feel as much
interest in the prosperity of this county
and its citizens as any one, and are as
much opposed to unnecessary taxation
but when we do know that it is to the
interest of our entire people to have
good roads and bridges, and that we
can not get them except by making
them, it does seem proper to begin the
work. Every man knows something
= OF the value and importance of good
roads; Mt least most of us know the
inconvenience Of not having them.
The farmers are, or should be, most
interested, as they have greater need Of
them, over which they hau'
their surplus products to market. W.
use or travel over our county roads
but little. still we are ready and WILLING
TO be taxed to make roads and bridge,
for the conveniences of others, and the
general good of all. Let the question
be agitated and freely talked abou
among the people sufficient to justify
the County Court to take proper step
at its July term to begin work. Thinl

Obituary.

Hortie c., daughter of r. Fletcher,
and wife of James H. Edwards, was
born Dec. 20, 1857, protested religion
and joined the NJ. E. Church, South,
in August, 1871, died Feb. IS, 1888.
Hortie did not live all the time up
to her profession and christian princi-
pies, but was unfortunately induced to
seek happiness in the vain amusements
of this life. In consequence of which,
dark and distressing clouds of doubt
for time hung heavily over her moral
pathway. But for some time before
her death, she had been seeking closer
communion with her heavenly Father,
and by faith in his forgiving mercy,
was enabled to realize the withdrawal
of the cloud, and the sunshine Of His
reconciled countenance, enabling her
to say, II am not afraid to die" AL
though her death was sudden, we be-
lieve she was ready. A. L. Conner.
Surely our friend and brother james
is greatly bereaved. First his dear
wife, then his faithful friend, Bro. Hol-
lis, and now his dear father, all passing
rapidly away. Such is life. A. i. e.
