Solid Democracy.
a .MoMPsA :, -.

III time has come for the cessation of
hostlities in the Democratic Damp. The
light is over and the victory wo tby
Capt. !. r. Tillman and his supporters.
He is now the nominee Of the Demo.
cratic party for Governor Of South Caro-.
linz. He has been nominated by an
overwhelming majority Of tho Democrats
OF tho State, and he will DO elooted Gov
erilor in November, If every true and
loyal Democrat will only. do his duty.
II matters not what: personal prefer.
ences wo may have heretofore had as to
who OF tho three candidates should be
tho nominee of tho party; it matters not
TO whom we have given support and
comfort m the, campaign just closed, tho
PLAIN II common sense course for overy
Democrat is to take the ticket straight,
and to fight all opposition to Cant. Till
man, or amy other nominee OF tho party.
rs earnestly and manfully as if thoy wore
all tho objects Of supremest Affection.
1t is now high time for the spirit of tole-
ration, concession and patriotism to assert
itsolf over tho clamor, folly, bitterness
and violence, which has malred, in too
great a degroo, the campaign of 1890.
Every true man and Democrat must do
his full duty to close up tho ranks, to
undo whatever of OWL has been done, to
stand shoulder to shoulder for tho party
tho State, by leaving tho dead past
to bury tho things of tho past, while wo
all look to tho future and labor to mako
it rich with tho fruits of pence and pros
pority. ~
Tho great body of tho people of South
Carolina have made Capt. Tillman tho
nominee of tho party, They havo acted
honestly and consciontioualy,. and no II
has tho right to fool offended at them
for so doing. If thoy have gone wrong,
thoy have erred from no bad motive, and
when convinced Of their error, thoy will
DO tho first to undo the mischief, if n
should BIO wrought. But they may DO
right, and tho others in tho wrong, while
tho differences being mostly n mattor of
personal preference between tho candi-
dates, have been honest. Tho reforms in
tho government specified in tho now
platform of the party, have always been
dear to tho people of Upper Carolina, md
wore advocated in these columns long
before Capt. Tillman stood before tho
people as their champion. Wo did not
support him because wo did not bolioyo
him a safe man to follow, and hence u
opposition was all along to tho man and
not to the measures of reform which ho
happened to represent. And this right
to oppose him thus far Capt. Tillman
recognizes as belonging to ovcry citizen
OF South Carolina, and so expressed him
self i'll his speech accepting the nomina-
ton. But no longer have wo tho right
to oppose him on this ground, for he
stands to-day as the nominee of tho
party, and as n Democratic newspaper,
through and through, soul and body, wo
stand ready to give him and tho entire
ticket tho Same earnest support that
would have boon given to either Earle or
Bratton as tho nominee of tho party,
however humble that support may DO.

A Word Personal.

Last weok was published n card from
Mr.. j. B. Pickett, relative to his action in
tho late County Democratic Convention,
and comments by us on his position on
tho suggestion by DR.. S. j. McElroy that
tho convention be addressed by Hon. j.
S. Werner. We confined our remarks to
the position of Mr.. Pickett on tho sug-
gcstion of DR.. McElroy, thinking that
this was tho point in controversy. We
might have gono further, however, and
stated Mr.. Pickott's position on tho mo-
ton by r. Il. Jaynes, made whom tho
business proper of tho convention was
concluded, that Hon. j. s. Werner DO in
vltcd to address tho convention. Some
one, 1--WE do not now recall who,) moved
that the convention adjourn, and that
then Col. Werner be requested to speak.
This latter motion Mr.. Pickett very
strongly opposed, urging tho convention
10 ioaT Col. Werner i'll its organized GU
pacity, and his remarks were so timely
that tho motion to adjourn was with
drawn, and tho resolution, inviting Col.
Werner to address tho convention rs q
body, was unanimously adopted. What
was said in this respect by Mr.. Pickett
was accidentally omitted from our report
Of tho convention two weeks ago. Herein,
we sec, that IN uninton tional injustice
has been done Mr.. Pickett, since his po-
sitiOn on both motions relative to tho adj
dress of Col. Werner, was not given.
This explanation, wo trust, is satisfac-
tory to both Mr.. Pickett and tho general
public.
In this connection we would call tho
attention of our readers to tho dinic ult
task Of reporting fully all that is said
and done in n large body like q County
Convention, when only the substance of
tho most important transactions can DO
published in n weekly paper. We have
been ~ondcavoring of late to give fuller
and moro complete reports of such meot-
ings and othor local matters than eyor
before in tho history of Tho COURIER, and
any failure on II part to como up to our
ideal of reporting every PERSONS position
correctly, is attributable to an error of
the head and not of tho heart. Our do
sire and aim is to render TO every man
ci""i ""t oHtSo JtotiSCS "ilIlC we MO
obliged, for want OF space, to condonso
and give only tho substance of tho i'm
portant actions of public bodies. If any
ono thinks this an easy task, lot Thorn
try it q few times, and actual experience
will teach them it is no light matter.
There may have boon others than MI.
Pickett who have fclt at different times
that they havo not been properly re-
ported; wo know not. His Is tho first
instance of tho kind that has been called
to our attention. But if thcre DO othors,
wo must ask them to consider what Is
horo written and apply tho Same to their
case. In tho meantime VIC ask tho kind
Indulgence of III readers for any errors
and mistakes in this rs we'll assother
respects. 1t is Il intention to mako q
1.-Two and interesting newspaper by giving
all things of noto that occur in our midst.

The Object of Education.

In ancient systems of education
the wealthicr class alone possessed
the culture of their age. Tho poorer
classes lived and died in ignorance.
The introduction of the free school
system brought a change. With it's
advent the opportunities and advan-
tages of schooling have been laid at
the door of tho peasant, and poverty
is no longer a bar to learning. A
change of systems brought a change
in the aims of instruction. Many
contend, and they seem to find
numerous supporters, that the great
object of the nineteenth century
education is "practicability." In
other words, the question asked is,
"Will it make a practical man of
him evil his education bring
him in two per cent a month";" From
this idea that an education can be
measured in dollars and cents, have
sprung industrial schools, manual
training schools and technical schools
too numerous to mention. In these
schools boys from twelve to eighteen,
of very limited mental training, are
learning trades, and upon leaving
these trade schools enter at once
upon the active work of life. They
become good mechanics, but their
lack of a general cducation-in other
words, their lack OF that liberal cul-
ture which is the foundation of all
lasting grcatncss-forcvcr prevents
their taking an active and prominent
part in public affairs. Their influ-
cncc is restricted to a narrow circle
OF lcllow-workmcn, their society is
all of II kind, and instead Of bcil.
leaders of thought, they arc obcdi-
cnt followers of anothcr's will. A
technical education is a most excel
lent thing, but it should be the super
structure of liberal mental training.
There is nobility in physical labor,
but there is grandurc in labor backed
by brains. With the liberal educa-
ton Of our workmcn will come n
reformation in society, in civiliza-
ton. No longer will labor writhc
under the heel of oppression; no
longer will monopolies dictate to the
thousands when labor takes on Gull
ture, when the brain guides the hand.
The ministers of the Gospel will
cease appealing to the passions of
mon, and the pure logic of Chris
tianity will bring converts to the
feet of Christ. Shall we turn our
school rooms into workshops and
kitchens, and set our pupils, yet in
their teens, at work with the plane
and the needle? Or. shall we cling
to the old system, and lay as q foun-
dation a liberal understanding of the
great events of time? Shall we, as
teachers, contine our pupils to the
study of arithmetic, writing and
reading? or shall We invite them to
explore the fields of history and
literature, and thus store their minds
with a knowledge Of such events and
productions as will awaken in them
reflection and the finer feelings of
human nature?

Soon she heard loud -crc.S I'D
saw Eddie run out of the room with
blood streaming from his face, ex-
claiming "Cabbell shot mel" Cab

Eddie who told him not to do so, at

Entertainments
4 E SUNDAY 81 oOLs

Christmas tree entertainments as
sumed various phases. The First
Baptist Church Sunday Schools en-
tertainment took place last Monday
afternoon, and was entitled "Wait-
ing for Santa Claus. The following
is the arrangement as presented;
Maggie, little girl poorly clad,
starts out in quest of the First Bap-
tist Sunday School, of which she is
desirous to become q member, she
loses her way but meets with a kind
friend who accompanies her to the
school She is warmly received and
at once becomes an object OF great
interest. The Christmas festival is
announced and q letter read from
Santa Claus in which he promises to
be present on that occasion. He is
detained by an accident, but tele-
graphs the school TO wait his arri-
val. His detention causes great un-
ec<siness and imPotience. Mr. Our
hastily furnishes an entertainment
for the amusement of the audience.
Santa Claus at last arrives. Chill
dren, are delighted, songs are sung
and presents given. Little Maggie
is made very happy by receiving
presents OF dress, cloak, hat, etc,
from q number of the scholars, thus
inculcating spirit or true charity
and christian sympathy for the poor
and needy. Santa Claus finally re-
tired, leaving his kindest wishes and
a parting benediction in the way of
presents for every one.
