the people. What has been the result.
Not free coinage certainly, hut the
production aud passage of the Sher-
man-WiIdom- Harrison abortion, ac-
tualiy repeating even the Bland law
and leaving silver in u worse condi-
ton, if possible, than it was when
first demUnetiZed in 1873.
Mr.. Stewart has said some good
things in favor of the free and un-
Hunted coinage of silver, for which he
has received due credit, but why did
he vote in the last session of Congress
for bill totally demonetizing silver,
and directly contrary to the instruc-
tions ot the Silver Convention of this
State? Why did he return here on
the eve Of election and tell his con-
stituents that the Sherman compro-
mise bill for which, he voted, was far
better than free coinage? Why and
when did the venerable Senator mako
the discovery So contrary to his oft
repeated assertions, that there could
be any substitute better than free
coinage? Was MIR. Stewart sincere
then and is he sincere now? We
shall SEQ.
But why is there SO much turmoil
and unrest among the people, aud
why are danger signals flashing here
and there, which seem to say, eco
back, beware!" What is the matter
with the farmers, and why are they
In bondage to the gold kings?
1 conclude, Mr.. Editor, that if pre-
lenses, class legislation and indirection
shall be continued, it will not he long
before the Republican leaders, at
least, will be bowling wilderness Of
woe, their golden calf will be ground
to dust and their deeds will remain a
stencil long after they are dead and
forgotten in the city whore they had
so done.

ED. INDEPENDENr:---ln the Repub-
llcan Congress OF 1873, quietly
stealthily, without argument, print or
previous notice silver was demonetized
and gold became, for the first time in
the history et our government, the
only standard of monetary value.
Why'wss this done and why was
this crime of crimes committed in so
questionable manner? Senators
and Representatives have since been
won't to apologize and tell the people
that they did not understand the ma
ture of the bin for which they voted.

spent. No matter where located, some
OF Anderaon's money will surely be
gpent there. Let US make winning eff
fort, then, not only to keep our own mon.
ey at home, but to have the money neces-
sary to run the Industrial School spent in
our town and County.
Is it not true that the mostly widely
advertised towns of to-day are those that
grow most rapidly2 What has proven a
better advertisement, and attracted more
attention to Columbia than the State
University? What has Woford done for
Spartanburg? Furman, for Greenyille
Erskine, for Due West? Who can esti-
mate hegood in every way these COL
leges have done for these towns? What
has proven more prolific source of ad-
vertisement? In the same way will the
Industrial School advertise the place of
its location.
This article is written in the hope that
it may prove some incentive to an in
creasing interest in this matter. The time
has come for Anderson to make a SUI
preme effort. No one should allow the
shadow Of q dollar to blind his eyes to the
importance Of this move. If we work as
a unit and put forth the proper efforts,
Anderson need fear no competition. If
Anderson let's this opportunity slip from
her grasp, she had better hang her harp
on the willow and prepare to patronize
Colleges in other towns.

The Columbia State, of Saturday, says: !:
"Chairman D. B. Johnson, of the State
Industrial School Commission last night
stated that he had received an official bid
from one Of the towns in the upper por-
tion of the State, making bona 6de of.
fer of $4,000 cash for the location Of
the school at that place. The offer, he
says, is signed by leading men as COM
mittee of the citizens. He said: This
bid with others is to be considered by the
commission at its next meeting. The linn
it for the presentation of offers is July.
When the commission meets it will, after
considering the offers, make arrangements
to visit and inspect the places offered" It
is evident to those who have been watch.
ing the matter that number of towns
will make bids ranging IN the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. 1t is also evident that
any town that will have special reason to
hope for success will have to shoot high
above that mark. It will take six figures
to decide the location, and Anderson
knows it. She believes that 100000 Of
her wealth cannot be better invested than
in the State Industrial School for girls.

- The latest Boston fad is severely re-.
strictive of kissing. A man and his wife
were arrested several days ago by prn.
dish policeman for kissing while waiting
in a doorway for street Car. The car
very probably VAS slow, and 30 they
thought to while away the time with o
kiss. One would suppose a husband
might be permitted to kiss his own wife,
or q wife her husband, even on the street,
but the Boston police Judge before whom
the couple we're hailed excused the police
man on the ground that the proceedings
was an unusual" one. It was not, how
ever, he intimated, 8 distinctly criminal
act-criminal for husband and wife to
kiss-and hence he would order their
discharge. Think of policeman's sen
sibilities being shocked by having to wit
ness an innocent connubisl kiss, and of a
Judge who sympathized with him to the
extent of dischargipg the couple with
apparent reluctance and an intimation
that they mustn't do it again. Can it be
that kissing is so rare in Boston that it
produces mental shock when seen by
the shrinking bystander9 1t would be q
cruel reflection on the charms of Boston
girls to harbor such an idea.

The Board of Trade of Greenville has
taken hold of the Industrial School ques.
ton with that self-con6dence and vim
that frequently brings success. Green
vile wants this School and the South
Atlantic University, too. At meeting
of the Board last Friday, ,called to discuss
the Industrial School, a member said he
understood that Anderson would soon
vote on the question of issuing $4,000 of
city bonds as a bid for the school. Besides
this, that thriving city would give val
liable city lot" Anderson knows good
thing when she sees it, and is willing to
pay more than $4,000 for it. When
Greenyille sends her daughters to the In.
dustrial School she will have to send them
to Anderson. Anderson proposes to out.
bid every other place, putting Up 100000

There will be a number Of hangings
in Georgia this year, and it is the uuani-
NOUS opinion of the newspapers through
out the State that they will have sslu-
tary effect. It is one editors opinion that
the mere mention of these hangings has
already had an Influence for good on the
people. In this connection, however, it
should be remarked that the State press
is unit for private hangings-that is,
let the work be as private as possible.
It is thought that this feature will do
more to lessen crime in the State than
anything else. Some murderers seem
willing to be hung for the notoriety they
gain on the scafold.
