Charleston has at last got some
thing new, trolley cars. Perhaps this
new enterprise will infuse little get
up to that city. A Charlestonian does
not take kindly to new inventions
and this, no doubt, is the cause Of
that city being about twenty years
behind the times in the way of rapid
transit. No more will the old Char
lestonian delay a car long enough for
him to step to a stationary store to
buy newspaper. Now that the

the sacred portals of the CITY by the

would be unreasonable to differ With

disposed to humiliate an officer on
account of politics. We will not
charge it, bat we do believe the Co.

towards that officer dating back to
the time when Watts is said to have
prevented parties from interfering

is full punishment for the otfense.

Several Democratic Senators have
rendered their services to aid Senator
McLaurin in his coming canvass of
the State. McLaurin has declined
these kind offers of outside help.
This was wise; if there is anything
the people Of South Carolina do not
like, it is outside interference. If
McLauriu cannot take care of himself,
then the State has no man who can.
The opposition to him can come out
in droves if they like, and they will
find the Junior Senator giant and a
tower of strength among the people.

The effort on the part of some to
prevent a primary for the selection
of Senator failed and if a weather
eye is kept open the motive for the
opposition, we think, will crop out.
The Executive Committee did exactly
right in ordering the primary and
the people will express their approval
bv turning out to vote.

Educated Farmers.

II has been observed that higher educa-
ton has the tendency to make man dis
satisfied with farm life and the labors in
cident thereto, and thus it is urged that
farmers are justified in denying their sons
the liberal education afforded by our COL
leges and military acad demies and allowing
them but an ordinary school education,
sufficient, they contend, to meet the de-
mands of the farm. We cannot agree with
this theory, for while at first sight it has
an apparent plauSibility, it IS not founded
on fact, but to the contrary. While
most OF the young men now seeking en-
p!ovwent in cur cities come from the farm,
thev are not from the class that are winners
of degrees at colleges; but rather those
whose antipathy for hard work and educa-
tional deficiencies, are forced to occupy
subaltern positions.
As general rule, where man has
energp and intelligence sufficient to carry
off a diploma or degree, such an one will
not pa use in his career of success, but will
follow It to its close. Apply this to the
graduate of an agricultural college and the
fact still remains the same-the student Of
agriculture returns to the farm to benefit
the farmers of his immediate neighborhood
by the most approved method OF farming.
Because a man is born on a farm is not
conclusive of the fact that be must be a
farmer. Let him follow the bent of his
genius and if it be for farming make him
model farmer by putting within his reach
the best and most approved methods OF
farming. The object of education is to in
telligcatly direct human effort, whether
the same be individual or that of others.
Thus it is that while farmer may labor
with his employees his superior judgment
brought about by education enables him to
direct the whole.
Farming each year is becoming more
and more scientific, keeping up with the
advance guard of civilization. Can It main
tain its position if farmers cease to be
scientists? Give the boy an education; ne
may not be farmer, but if he is you Will
make him the best farmer the county
affords Beaufort Gazette.

Which must be acknowledged to be failure

United States as the only method which It

prohibits this for all time.
More recently Circuit Judge of the
United States Court, basing his action on
the recent decision of the Supreme Court
above quoted, declares the Dispensary law
is not an exercise OF the police power, and
that liquors in original packages can be
imported into South Carolina and sold
with impunity, and the State is helpless 10

is urged for the relief of that State from the
evils OF intemperance.

HIS MAIDEN VOTE.
An Important Occasion, But He Did
Not Grasp Ii Triumphnntly.

! An Important Occasion, But He Did
Not Grasp Ii Triumphnntly.
| 1t was his maiden vote, and he felt
that the event was one of sufficient i'm
portance to warrant mention i'm the col
umns of the daily press. For weeks be-
forehand he studied the merits of the
several candidates, and decided upon
his choice dozen times, and as often
changed his mind. 1t did seem pity
that all had SO many good traits, and
yet no one possessed them alone.
In addition to reaSing all the daily
papers and campaign literature that
came his way, the young man attended
the political meetings and shouted I'M
til he developed some throat trouble.
He marched in professions for each and
every candidate, and even rode in a
band wagon-in fact, he left nothing
undone to learn which man was the best
to cast that all-important vote for.
The day before election he felt as
mixed up as ever, and finally appealed
to his father election morning.
II say, dad" he began, as his father
was leaving the breakfast table, "who
ought 1 to vote for?"
'Vote the ticket your convictions tell
you is the BEST" his father replied,
catching up his hat and starting for the
door.
But, dad, tell me. I'm dead sure
can't tell which mans the best. They
all claim to be the whole thing, and they
can't all be o. X"
His father paused with his hand on
the doorknob as he said, angrily:
when kid gets old enough to vote
he ought to have enough sense to know
which man he wants to cast his ballot
for. A mistake was made in your case.
You oughtn't to be of age until you're
3d." and he slammed the door angrily.
The young mans mother scolded him
for making his father angry; his sister
said that it was just like boy, anyway.
while his maiden aunt with advanced
notions cried Indignantly, pointing her
skinny forefinger at him:
And TO think dummy like that can
vote and | am denied the privilege"
BY this time the young man discov-
cred that he would receive no assist
ance from his home circle, so he saun-
tered toward the polling place and hung
about for over an hour before he VEN
tured in. To his surprise he was al.
lowed to pass unchallenged, and as he
took up pencil and a ticket he felt
that at last he was one of the great
American nation.
When he finally emerged his face was
flushed, but wore triumphant express
sion and all day long he moved like one
who had discharged serious duty.
well, did you get that vote caste"
"You bet l did" was the somewhat
inarticulate answer, the young mans
mouth being full.
"Who did you vote for?" asked his
sister.
Eyes, who did you?" his father re-
peated, looking interested.
The young man pushed back his plate
and beamed on the assembled family as
he replied:

good that / marked them all."-Chicago

The big brute stopped shaking the
girl and looked at the young man in sur

made evident by the way she opened
her eyes and stared.
"She can hardly believe that she has
a champion, poor thing" said the young
man to himself and his bosom swelled
with pride until the buttons on his coat
threatened to give way.
'Who yer talllin' to?" asked the big
brute, after he had partially recovered
from his surprise.
