nANUAL TRAINING IN THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

The subject of manual training is
receiving considerable attention from
school trustees aud the educationsl
public. and the time is evidently not
very far distant when manual train.

troduced into this country at tho
McDonough Institute, in Baltimore,
aud has since been extended until to
day it 10 in operation in Al public
sohools aud private institutions, where
81. 700 pupils are taking advantage of
it The largest number of pupils of tho
system in any city is in Washington,

ia comparatively snail .own-with
1913, New York with 6,l76-and

Tho cost of the apparatus required

from 100 in Mesdville, Pa, where
1928 pupils are taught; 4l9s in
Paterson, for 1918 pupils; $1,000 in
Nov Haven, for $4,000 pupils; to
$4,5O9 in New York, for 6l79 pupils.
Tho latter is not . fair basis Of com.
parison, however, since almost every.
thing costs much more in New York
than elsewhere.
The cost Of apparatus IN private in.
sti.utions is much greater than in the
public ones. For instance, the Miller
Manual Labor School expended *35.
600 for apparatus; Girard College
100000 for apparatus and real es-
tate: Tulane University $50, 900;
and 90 on down to the McDonough
Institute, whose apparatus cost only
$1,000.
The above facts should be carefully
po"dered by parents and school
trustees in Idaho, a. there is bound
to be a demand, before long. for the
introduction Of the system in this
Territory.

Many Of our citizens have read In the dn-
gusta Chronicle the account OF the trial al
Warrenton of Major Charles L. McGreSor for
killing James NJ. w. Cody. Major McGregor
walked up to where Cody was standing and
shot him. A witness testified that he did not
believe that Cody saw him at the time OF the
shooting. Cody and McGregor were promi-
nent citizens. and up to within short time
6sfore the killing, had been good friends.
Cody waylaid McGregor, and shot him In his
own yard. Cody was extremely attentive in
his visits while the wounded man was In bed.
At prayer meeting next night after the shoot
ing, he prayed for him. He proposed to lynch
q negro who was suspected of the crime. but
McGregor dissuaded him from the act.
Finally, suspicion rested on Cody, and Cody
owned up TO having shot him. Cody was III
dicted, but was not brought into Court. He
couldn't be found when wanted. He made
threats that McGregor would never live to
see him in the penitentiary; that the people
OF that county would not convict him. Nc
Gregor was afraid of Cody, and shot him,
when ne come TO town, soon after the ad-
Iournment OF the Court in 1888. The killing
was NO doubt. technically, murder, but be-
cause OF the threats of Cody, and the fears OF
McGrcgor, together perhaps with the wealth
and social standing OF the living, he was ac-
quilted last week.
The name Of a lady was mentioned during
the trial, who may have been the innocent
cause of the origin of the trouble.

Will we Take Advantage of Our Op.
pOrtunity.

a railroad in itself will not make town,
or increase its population, unless the citizens
Of that town take advantage Of the facliltles
1t offers.
Railroads simply open up new fields for
industry and enterprise. Unless these neidS
are cultivated but little good will be derived
from it."
The above is what the El6crtOn Star has 10
say in view of the prospects for building the
Georgia, Carolina and Northern Railroad
which road passes our doors.
Up to this time we have seen little effort to
induce new industries or new trades, whereby
the town would be benefited.
On the other hand, we have noticed that
many lot owners are asking extremely high
figures for any land that may be desired
Unless there should be an increased popula-
ton, and an increased business, the mere
building of the railroad will not warrant the
greatly increased price Of building lots, which
is now being asked. The result OF the high
prices Will discourage building, or else those
lot owners who are willing TO sell at fair
price, will supply the limited demand.
The railroad cannot, under any clrcum'
stances, increase the value OF anything, en-
cept the lots on which houses now stand.
All the materials which go into the building
OF house will be as cheap after the road Is
finished, as it is now. Brick, lime, cement,
tin, plank, shingles, and everything else will
be made cheaper. If possible, but the growth
OF the town may increase the price OF land.

General McCraiy's Opinion.

The remarks of General McCrady arc 50 lair,
so i'm partial and so truthful as to impress all
who may read what he has 10 say. His con-
servatism and wisdom are apparent to all.
II those in authority had acted with some.
thing OF the same discretion sucha th'hs uS
dissatifaction among the people would not
exist today.
But many of US believe that the will OF the
people has in many instances been itIle
regarded, and that sometimes in the c!cctione
as to constitutional questions, perlecl
fairness has not always been too apparent
We all know that the reapportionment OF
representatives in the General Assembly was
POSTPONED, and that Charleston now usurps
the seats In the General Assembly to whlcb
she Is not justly entitled, ana we 1urIhef
know that to the extent OF that unjust rep
reseutation in the House OF Representatives
her rvp, ooonIntiv in the nominating con-
~yention is unjustly doubted. We all can form
our own opinions as to whether the law has
been faith fully enforced against OFFENDERS
the offenders should happen TO belong, as they
often do, to influential portion of the com
munity.
The records Will show whether many such
people have been put to any other inconven-
ience for killing trash, than the trouble of Civ.
ing bail and going through the form Of trial
Some OF us know how some Of the jurles have
been drawn In secret. and how their verdicts
have shocked the world. Happily for Able.
vile, however, the day for selecting Jurors
with closed doors has passed. Jurors are now
drawn in broad day light and in the presence
OF witnesses-and we get good juries, too.
Evil doers may as we'll take note Of this lat.

Willie Lcaphart aud tho Governor.

Willie I.eaphart aud the Governor.
Some time ago, Willie Leaphart, a colored
man, was convicted in Lexington of an as
8 ,ult OH young lady, and for the offence was
tried and sentenced to be hanged. Judge
Wallace at the time of sentencing him, CIV
ing the prisoner to understand that there was
no hope for him. When the day for the exc
cution was near, Judge Wallace, upon atilua-
Wit of some one unkn to the public. asked
the Governor 10 postpone the execution. Inc
prisoner was respited until some time In May.
The people OF Lexington became very mnch
incensed at the action of the Governor an"
at public meetings have denounced his acI III
very strong language.
The case is a most remarkable one, ana as
far rs we now recollect, 1t is the only one !"
which the Governor and Circuit Judge nave
taken so conspicuous part In behalf OF
friendleSS citizen.
We feel perfectly certain that!udge Wallace
wou,d not have moved the Governor to inter-
fere in his behalf If there had not been at
least some evidence Of good and sufficient
grounds for his action.
Whatever the people of Lexington may
think of IL, we think the State will endorse
the action Of Judge Wallace and Governor
Richardson.
If the negro-who has been convicted OF the
worst offence known 10 society-has adeiehse,
society will lose nothing By letting him bring
1t forward He is in the hands of the govern
mem, and he stands condemned to death, ana
there need be no fears that anything except
the merit of his defense will move the Cover
nor to shield him from the penalty Of the law
as pronounced against him. He has no social
standing or influential kindred. He can look
to the officers of the law only for that mercy
which justice demands.
Judge Wallace and Governor Richardson
will not be charged with partiallty TO friend
less negro, and they should be allowed to in
vesligate his defense. If the negro is guilty,
he will surely be hanged, but righteous
Judge and conscientious Governor Should
be allowed time to convince themselves OF the
guilt of the condemned man. No good man
in Lexington wants to see Willie Leaphart
hanged, II he is innocent But If he Is guilty,
Justice demands his death.
Let the Governor do his duty, and let the
people be patient.
The action Of these high officers OF the gov
ernment in behalf of so poor citizen as Will
lie Lcaphart, who has been convicted OF the
very worst crime, is enough to inspire the
people with Increased confidence in the integ-
rity Of their trusted officers.
