the Banks.
This plan appears to work admirably in

OBEDIENCE.

The habit of obedience stands first among
the best habits Of childhood. In his early
years the child obeys implicitly without ask
ing for ''reasons,, ,,"why's" and "wherefores;"
that is, he thus obeys if parents have not
been careless, inconsistent and vacillating in
the exercise Of their authority. The parents
will is his will in these early years, and he
is ,tsfei to have them regulate his conduct.
Later, he begins to desire to exercise his own
will, andeven demands more frequently than
before reasons for Of his requests. All this
may be sign of development, and his grow
ino independence should be respected, and
even anticipated. We must not assume that
me child Is af~"ys-ahstinate or wilful when
lie demurs or hesitates. The fault may he
partly our own. If we give thoughtful
consideration to every request before our
decision is made, then uniformly adhere
to the decision when it is made,,; if all our
judgments arc for the best interest of the
| child, and We take pains to make them
appear so to him; if, in q word, the child
has confidence in our wisdom, there will be
little or no opposition on his part to our
judgments as they are gwen. But if we
give our decisions in hasty way, consider
| ing them after they are given rather than
| before, or if our decisions are arbitrary with
no apparent justice in them, even 10 the child
| himself there will be much opposition on
his part, not ouly to our unjust decisions,
but to oil decisions we may give.
| 1t cannot be denied that even with the
"re"tne' ''~a from the Fl st, our will and the
Will o. Inc chill may sometimes come into
collision Adverse conditions may exist
| over which we have no control. The child =
mind or our own may be in an urhealthy
state, through sickness Of the body, frequent
changes of masters may be made whose
methods do not agree or the child may in.
herit quick temper, which sometimes
shows itself very early in life. All these
conditions, or any one Of them, NAV pre-
vent prompt and willing obedience. But,
generally it may be said that if proper care
is taken, there will be little neel of q,
active exercise Of authority on our part, and
that we may never need TO do that some
parents and teachers regard as necessary,
i. e., break the will of the child by severe
punishment. Sternness oud even severity.
may at times be necessary, ut.they should be
| exercsed--and seen to be so exercised-in
love and sorrow, rather than in q hasty and
angry manner, as too many commands and
punishMents seem to be.

what is known as the Wilson Bill" which
Internationally repeals the silver purchas
ing clause of the Sherman Act The large
majority given to the repeal bill, was great
surprise, even to the most sanguinc of its
champions, and is supposed TO insure its
passage by the Senate. With the exception of
MIR. Brawley and Mr. Shell being paired with
repeal member, the South Carolina dclcea-
ton voted against the bill

In this State to have the Governor call an

stances and influences, cherishing the same
traditions, and holding in common the proud
heritage Of the past.
We differ, tis true, yet why should we
impugn each others motives and blndly fol-
low the hue and cry of the partisan? Are
feuds to be established, communities divided
and life!cng friendships embittered at the
selfish commands of interested politicians? I
trust not.
Allow me to say that | will not leave my
home to canvass or to attempt to make a
speech during this campaign, for believe
when candidate goes before his people,
known as ] am to the people Of Union
County, that If he or they are caught out
