Not much hearty stir in regard to free
schools this winter has yet been made. that
we know of. It's time the pet schemes
were put in motion. Last fall "a year ago)
| we suggested that the Legislature had better
| try aud improve the pres ent free shool sys-
| TEN rather than to put In its time monkey
ing with liquor law. Our advice was
| ignored and we cant see that the country is
| better off, but we doubt it seriously. We
| hold that temperance (as well as al other
virlues) if it is ever made effective, must be
| taught around the fresde, in the school

a friend. for whose innocent motive we
have the highest appreciation, has sent us
the picture Of Bob Kennedy, the negro who
was lynch, ut Gaffney City some time ago.
| In regard to the matter we have this to say ::
We are glad we do not belong to that class
| of people whose morbid curiosity elevates
| them but little if any above the average
| barbarian. The picture is n complete trav-

| for which Kennedy forfeited his life Is suf-
| fcicntly revolving in ITSELF without adding
| to it such an insult to woman's virtue IA Is
| presented in that sickeuing and uhsghtly
| spectacle.
To defend our women against british out
| rage we ere willing to make any sacrifice,
| even of our own life, if il is necessary, but
| we never can condpnc an act that publishes
| to the eyes of the world that shame which
| tho hangman's rope has 80 completely

We are no great advocate Of the dispcn-
sary law, as it now stands, but we do say
that we have seen less drinking among the
people than ever before. We hope all de-
| fpriS in the law will DO rempdied hy ,ho
present legislature, and that the matter will
be fully and sais!aco orily settled before the
excitement of next years campaing opens.
