A CRYING Neoesaitv.

The school houses for colored children in
this city are crowded, and yet there are
several hundred colored children for whom
there are no school accommodations. This
condition Of affairs is not new. 1t has
existed for quite awhile. The necessity
for another school house for coIored chill
dreu is an imperative one.
The school board has discussed the mat
ter, and has not yet discovered how
sufficient money can be spared to build or
hire additional school accommodations.
Even for white children additional accom-
modations are needed.
1t is evident that something should be
done in this matter, and done quickly.
Children who are anxious to attend school
should have the opportunity TO do so. A
way should be found for charging school
accommodations for both white and col
ored children. 1t is a question whether il
was advisable TO make the high school free
before providing accommodations for all
the children OF a schoolable age. But as
that has been done the greatest economy
should be exercised in the use OF school
money, with the view of providing addi-
tional school room as soon as possible
The statement has been made that chill
dren from adjacent counties. and even
from South Carolina, are sent to this city
to attend the public schools. We DO not
know that there is any truth in H. II there

thereupon left the car and walked outside to

boarded the next car, evidently tired out if not
satiated, with kissing.

A Brief sermon for women.

Are not women, as a rule, judged too
harshly by those of their own sex who as
assume to pass judgement upon them? 1t
may be that many women 90 not live up to
the high standard fixed for Them and do
not make the most of their opportunities
for doing good by inspiring those who come
within the sphere of their influence with
nobler aims and purer purposes, but surely
the great majority of women are far less
blameworthy in this respect than men.
That women are harsh judges of their
own sex is suggested bya criticism of wo-
men which appears in a story in the Octo-
Der number of Scribner's magazine, enti-
tied From Macedonia" The author of
the story is Mary Tappan Wright, and the
criticism is in the sermon delivered by one
of the characters, an aged bishop.
The part of the sermon con-
tanning the criticism is as follows:
Our hope and our destruction, what can

in emulation, visit the poor in ostentation,
and in the name of charity make heartless
pilgrimages to look on the suffering and
