the cities | think prohibition is mainly failure
Public opinion there does not sustain it and, any
dominant political party by attempting its rigid
enforcement would pass into the minority, and has
already repeatedly suffered defeat AS to the
proposed constitutional amendment, | can see
no good in adopting it, but rather evil. If
at any future time majority of the Legislature
should become convinced that prohibition was
not the most effective means to advance the
causes of temperance, they would unques-
tionably repeal all the prohibtory statutes and
then there would be no machinery to regulate
the traffic, and rum would be as free as water

The Postoffice Department has natural am
bition to decrease its expenditures, but it some
times makes a mistake in the manner in which
it does it. Diminishing the mail facilities of
towns and villages is not proper way of econo-
MIXING. 1t is proposed now to discontinue the
ri-weekly mail from Madison to Swanvile and
Lexington, because a few dollars may be saved
thereby to the government The fact that the
mails will be delayed from thirty-sx to seventy
two hours between Madison and Swanville and
Lexington should be consideration sufficient TO
prevent this change. 1t will operate to the dis
advantage of every Madison business man and
every Madison newspaper, and seriously iniure
Swanville and Lexington While the govern
ment has millions of surplus every year and is
giving the cities several mail deliveries daily, it
seems the height of injustice to decrease the
slender facilities afforded the smaller towns and
villages. We trust the NJ & NJ. Club, and the
people interested will demonstrate against this
change and succeed in preventing it.

Did Lees valiant soldiers ever dream that
their homes would be sold for negro education?
Would not every Southern soldier have branded
as a base lie the assertion that South Carolina
would after the war sell his home for negro
educationl Yet, if he fails to pay that educa-
ton tax, he must get out of his house. Did any
proud and respectable people ever place upon
their books a more unjust statute than that
which endangers the homes of their soldiers that
the esteemed negro may be educatedl Does
not every sense of patriotism, of humanity and
of common decency revolt at the idea of the in
justice of taking the confederate soldiers home
for negro education?
