Another fine rain this week,

Our neighbor, the OhserrcT, thinks
the subject Of public education has
been made SO prominent and has
been rung in the ears Of the people
50 continually that they have be-
come nauseated with it, and that
this is injuring the cause Of public
education. If it be true that the
friends of the public schools are in
danger of breaking them down by
earnestly and continually alcoca-
tinq public education, is it not to
be supposed that the Observer will
strengthen and build up the South
Carolina University, to which it is
unalterably opposed, by earnestly
and continually opposing it? If
our friends theory be correct, it
ought to work both ways.

The national powwOw of the
great Republican party which has
been saving this country for twenty
years, will be held in Chicago next
Tuesday, for the purpose of
making President. Vast and ex-
pensire preparations have been

elect. and Chicago will present an
animated scene on the 3rd. 1t ap-
pears now that one place on the
ticket will be given to Robt. Lin

ther than that it is not safe to enter

Speaker Carlisle said 4 day or
two ago. that all things considered,
the def,at Of the Morrison bill will
result benelicially to the Democratic
party. In case the enacting clause
had not bce1 stricken out, the bill
would Lave been killed with amend
ments and the Democrats would
have been placed in false position,
being held responsible for an in
effective measure, whereas now he
anticipates that the Convention will
pronounce Enthusiastically in favor
Of revenue reform and will go be-
fore the country on that issue,
gaining more from the Republican
ranks than it will lose from its
own.

was somewhat needed.
The candidates, at least some Of
them, are beginning to go around,

be good long round before elec-

The farmers are beginning to cut
their wheat this week, which all
report is very fine, the oat crop not
SO good. now and then you will see
q field of fine oats. A good wheat
and oat crop adds greatly to the
interest Of the farmer.
We notice with pleasure a good

We think this is q move in the right

is PAINTED, it makes the town ap-

The first communion service that
was ever held in the Methodist
church of our town came off on the
evening Of the Sd Sunday. Rev. NJ.
NJ. Boyd, familiarly known as Uncle
Mark was present and preached
being assisted by Mr.. Brown in the
communion services. The Metho-
dist brethren will have q neat little
Church when they get it finished,
which willbc some time this summer.
Two lady members Of the Church
went around few weeks ago solic-
iting aid to purchase a bell and
met with considerable success.
With little aid elsewhere they
have been able to purchase the bell,
which was put in position last
week. and rang last Sunday morn

of Mcthodists will increase from

On every hand one hears of the
fattering prospect Of the wheat and
oat crops. They are simply in that
condition known as booming and
should no accident befall them,
soon, very soon the hopes of every
one interested will be gloriously,
hopefully realized. Great is now
the promise. and God grant that
neither high winds nor beating
rains may lay these crops low. Our
farmers are reasonably now counting
the results, they sorely need all the
help which these two crops promise
to tide them through till cotton
comes in and we sincerely hope
that their anticipations may not be
disappointed.

PUBLIC EDUCATION.

ED1ToR BULLETIN Since public
education is not a matter of charity,
but of self-protection, in q free coun-
try the Board of Education, un-
doubtedly acted wisely in opening
the English schools to Portuguese
and German immigrants free of
charge. But why should discrimi-
nation be made against Hawaiians
The time may have been when a
small tuition fee in such schools was
desirable; but has not that time
past? Appropriate action on this
matter, by the Legislature, will re-
ceive the appreciation of many of
those most concerned in making the
present invidious distinctions. Il.

the BRITISH ARMY.

The Egyptian muddle will
have done one good thing if
it brings about a reform in
the matter of side arms and
bayonets. Every practical
man has known for years that
the quality of steel used IN
the manufacture of bayonets,
cutlassases, and swords is as
bad as it can well be, and the
present system at the. War
Office is alone to blame for
the deterioration. The great
aim of the Department is low
prices, not quality. All their
tests are more or less a farce,
and makers know this only
too well. The naval cutlass
is perhaps the worst offender,
and | have seen blades in
tended for use in the Navy
which buyer of shoddy for
African niggers would have
rejected. Government con-
tractors known this, but if
you speak to them about the
bad quality they only shrug
their shoulders and point to
the prices in the contracts.
Then again the War Office
always rushes it's orders along
so fast that there is no pos
sible chance of discovering
defects. The works go night
and day, and everything is
sacrificed to getting the order
done to the hour. This slip
shod system has been in vogue
so long that the art of temper
ing steel has almost died out.

head of a firm thought it no
disgrace to take off his coat
and superintend the harden

that he can't afford this extra
supervision, and so when

the eyes of the War Office,
