Where the Fight Should be Made.

\ correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun writing from Columbia says the
late meeting of the Democratic State
Executive Committee in that city was
called for the purpose of organizing the
Democracy to thwart the farmers in
their movement for new deal, which
is tending to disrupt the party. So far
as the committee meeting for the pur-
pose of thwarting the farmers or any
body else is all nonsense. The COM
mittee could not thwart the farmers
if they wished, for the simple reason
that the present committee only "holds
over" until the convention meets in
August, when a new committee will
be elected. The simplest way to pre-
vent the "thwarting' of the farmers
movement is for the farmers to capture
the convention and elect an Executive
Committee to suit themselves. The
representation in the convention will
be double the representation of each
county in the Legislature, or some 300
delegates. The farmers should be able
to control Il majority of those dele
gates. We agree with the correspond
ent of the Augusta Chronicle that this
course would be great deal more man.
ly than threatening to bolt the party
unless it does certain things. The far
mers claim to constitute the Democra-
tic party in South Carolina, and if this
is true they have nothing to fear from
the few lawyers, politicians, trades
men and laboring men who compose
the balance OF the State. But it may
develop hereafter that all the farmers
are not in favor CT drawing the line
too sharply. In any event let the fight
of the political farmers and the pro-
feSsional politicians be inside the party
lines. That is the place to settle all

InexcuSable ISllornrice.

EX-President Hayes long-promised
article on the subject of Federal Aid
for Southern Schools" has appeared in
a magazine. The Nation handles the
effort without gloves. 1t styles it "A
plea for some scheme similar to the
Blair Bill, based upon the same old
vague assertions, of which the fallacy
has been so thoroughly exposed -Four
millions of people in the South" says
Mr.. Hayes, ARE unable to read and
write" And at this point the Nation
adds that the Sage Of Fremont does not
apparently understand that three
fourths of these people are too old to
get any benefit from the most liberal
system of schools. almost three mil
lions Of the young people of the South
are growing up without the means OF
education" says Mr.. Hayes. This is
the same as saying that half the
children Of the South have no chance
to 60 to school. whereas the reports of
Southern school superintCndents show
that even in States like South Carolina
and Mississippi. where the negroes are
most numerous, the proportion of
children of the school age who attend
school is as large as in New Hampshire.
The only bit of evidence, which Mr..
Hayes cites in support of his theory, is
a statement made in a speech "a few
years ago" by DR.. Ruffner, then School
Superintendent Of Virginia, that, in
his State, they were not able to educate
the people "in any tolerable sense" as
he had shown by statistics "a few years"
before this speech. Regarding this, it
is sufficient to say that Virginia has
increased the amount of her school eX-
penditures from $946,109 in 1880 to
81, ,42S,678 in 1855, and now keeps her
schools open lis days in the year,
against only 104 in Maine. and but 100
in New Hampshire. There might,
perhaps, bean excuse for somebody else
who should write an article upon SO
question without making
the most elementary examination OF
the facts; but we do not quite see how
an eX-President Of the United States,
fraudulent though he be, leading life
of leisure. can reconcile suc'' careless
ness with his conscience.

Imbecile or Liar, Which:
Not long since General Sherman

Not long since General Sherman was
convicted of lying by General Wright,
and previous to that time General
Wade Hampton fastened lie on the
doughty barn burner in reference to
the burning of Columbia, and now
news comes from indianapolis, Ind,
that the great prevaricator has again
been cornere(l. 1t appears that he re-
Gently asserted in public address in
that city that he did not attend Vice
President Hendricks funeral because he
had not been invited, and also that no
place had been reserved in the funeral
procession for the army and navy. This
statement coming to the ears of Gen.
Fred Kneftler, grand marshal of the
Hendricks obsequies, that gentleman
confronted Sherman and told him that
he had pc onally addressed him an in
vitation, and, handed him newspaper
published at the time, showing that the
army and navy had been provided for.
Sherman, evidently embarrassed seemed
glad to escape from Kneffler and the
gentleman accompanying him simply
with the remark that "it had escaped
his notice" We regret to see a man of
Sherman's prominence in our country's
history with so little regard for the
truth, but it is about what could be eX-
pected of man who acted as he did in
making war on defenceless women and
children. AS he stole everything then
that was portable, his blooming out
now as a liar of the first magnitude
only confirms the old adage thata man
that will steal will lie. :.

Idculity in journalism,

Gently made, that the newspapers are
killing the magazines, just as maga-
zines have killed books, but it warns

ton is confined to men who write
novels and poems. Only Il few days
ago the Galveston News told Of Il far
mcr who had cut down maple tree Il
hundred years old and found a live toad
in the centre Of it. Such brilliant
imagination would stagger Jules Verne
could his eyes fall upon it, but it did
not frightcn the Flushing Journal Il
bit. The editor of that paper merely
stated that he might have doubted The
story had he not seen Il live Goldfish
taken from the centre OF in anvil that
WAS melted down. Novclists and
magazine writers must not put on airs
about superior ilcality if they TO not
