Primrose and Vests Troupe
Score Signal Success at
the Baldwin.
Per for m ance of the Pickaninnies Was
Perfect and C:mpslled Immense
Applause.

The Baldwin was crowded last night at
the opening performance Of Primrose &
Vests Minstrels, and a large mum Der
who wished to see 1T were turned away
for lack of room. It was the. biggest min
strel show given in this City for years.
When the troupe was here last season it
was something regarded as extraordinary
in number and quality, but now they have
excelled even the strength of that COM
bination of stars and the company num-
bers 100
In the opening there are eighty min
strels on the stage at once, and the group
ing makes an attractive spectacle.
A hit was made by George H. Primrose
in the song There's a Bully Gone to
Rest" This song is a sequel to the WELL
known New Bully" Primrose was as
sisted by two lit e boys called his "Pick-
aninny Cake Walkers" who are so expert
in their work the house went wild with
enthusiastic applause.
Another song that caught the audience
was Hot Time in Old Town Tonight"
by Primrose. Charles Kent sang two
songs, which were received with imm len Sc
demonstrations of pleasure, "Take Back
Your Gold" and Don't Tell Her That
You Love Her."

that was simply indescribable. They had
three clubs eac |. and between them was q
little fellow, barely 10 years old. who also
had three clubs. and the feats of the three
in keeping he clubs in rapid m otion were
an ad mired speciality.
Besides the music, the jokes and the
gymnastics there was a fancy drill with
accompanlments of vari-colored lights
flashed upon the evolutions.

"The resurrection of Christ is a fund :

of Christ is its most important truth.
"If it be established as fact that Jesus
arose from the grave after he had been
three days dead. then the truth that he is

Christ'S Resurrection
Assures His Promise

PROFESSOR j. H. GOODELL sup
- piled the pulpit at the Union-square
/ Baptist Church yesterday morning
The edifice had been beautifully
decorated, and the choir rendered an ex-
quisite programme of Easter music.
Professor GoodelPs address was from the
text, Now hath Christ been raised from
the dead; the first fruits of them that are
asleep" The speaker, sitter giving Bibi-
cal proof Of the resurrection, said that this
was sym bolical and literal proof of the
permanency of the Christian religion.
''These facts he said, make Christ real
and liying-not mere memory. They
open TO US larger life. They make his

This life is not the end of all existence.

God and Mammon' speaks NOT of the
worship of gold, but OF the exaItation of

Life is more than meat and the body

meat and raiment more than the life.

TFHE Easter services at the churches
yesterday were unusually impress
4 sive, and it is doubtful if any pre-
vious Easter has been the occasion
of so much magnificent music as was rem
dered by the various choirs. The decora-
tons were everywhere superb, and with
such accessories the ministers could not
well have been other than at their best.

A TEACHERS ANSWER.
WHY ALL APPLICANTS DO NOT
GET CERTIFICATES.
A Specimen Of the Answers Given
by Those Who Want
to Teach.

10 edCn.
AT recent examination, an
applicant for a teachers certlfl-
cate Of qualification to teach in
;he public schools, being requir-
ed to "name the political divis-
ions of North America" answered
Europe, Asia, Africa and Aus
tralia." Ample apprehension OF
North America! This is not a
speeimen'of answers at the exam
iuation. Though many mistakes
yet few such egregious errors are
made. Nor is this applicant an
exponent of applicants generally,
But he is one of class still too
numerous VINO think that a very
little learning-ability ,o write
and cipher-ls sufficient to ''teach
school''-public school. The de-
lusion is happily fast fading away;
but not yet is the fact fully ap-
preciated that the day of the pro
fessional teacher has come in
South Carolina-the time when
those who would teach in even
the common schools must make
special and proper preparations
for the work.
Some of the most important
perhaps the most important
laws upon the stalnte books OF
So. ..ih Carolina are those relating
to education. Fixed in the con-
stitution of the State, the public
school system, nuw permanent,
needs to be practically perfect
ed.
A first step in this direction is
to secure competent teachers for
the schools. Good schools can
not be held Without faithful, able
teachers. For the faiihfulness of
the teachers, the trustees and the
parents Of the pupils must attend
primarily to that; the ability must
be Looked after BY the county
boards of education.
To aid the teachers in their
preparations for their work the
board for Williamsburg decided to
hold county institutes this sum-
mer, one for the colored teachers
and one for the white. The for
mer has been held, was success
fully conducted and we'll attended
by those for whom it was held,
and they profited by it, too The
institute for white teachers will
be held the 23rd to the 2Sth inst.
County Superintendent Lesesne
has done all he can TO make it a
success. State Supt. Mayfield
promises to provide a "faeulty
second to none to be had in the
State.r Will the teachers do
their part: There are other
points l would like to touch upon
but this article is long enough.
