to our denomination, to our
children and to the memory of
our fathers, demand that we should
support, both with Our moral and
financial strength, our own
institutions, and not be swayed
from the path of duty by this
new evangel of free education
which is and can be free only
in name, for nothing that is 80
priceless as full rounded educa-
tion can be obtained free. The sham
pretence that education can be
obtained free in our State instltu-
tions, or anywhere else, is, we ap-
prehend, but the clap trap of the
demagogue, who always finds Ut SO
easy TO be generous and liberal
with the public money, and who
generally masquerades in the
6abilimsnts of patriotism and
philanthropy. We do not mean
to tear down or to impair the use
full.ess of any of our State institu-
tions, but we do mean to insist
that it is our duty to support our
own institutions, and to do this,
even though it might result IN ,
some impairment of what are called
State institutions.
State schools, constituted as they
are, never can and never will be
able to develop men and women Of
full rounded Christian character
such characters as are acknowl-
edged by the wisest men OF earth
and proven by the experience OF
ages, to be the highest, purest and
noblest type of character that can
be moulded out of human material
It is enervating to the sturdy
manhood and noblest Citizenship
of the State to be fed with crumbs
from the public crib. The State
should only be expected to exteno
the agis of her protection to hel
citizens, in insuring to them tht
endowment of life and liberty; anc
affording to them the necessary
means to be appropriated by then be,
in the pursuit of happiness. Th'
State should be supported by ne
citizens, and not reverse thi
healthy principle, and thus hav
the citizens looking to the Stat
for support. TO do this tends t.
, weaken the Independence of tn
citizen, which is so. essential,
necessary to the development Q
an ideal citizenship.
But after all, in the matter o
} education, the greatest respon
| sibility rests upon the parent
3 of our country. 1t is tn
? duty of parents to give thel
children the very best education
that their means will afford. N
onsideration of personal comfort
social prefermentor or accumulation
of wealth should tempt them t
ignore this important matte:

children are clearly inculcated !

JOBN LAKE ANDTHE JOHN.
sTON INSTITUTE.

When it was known at johnston
and in the surrounding country
that Prof. Hartzog had resigned as
principal of the Johnston lrstl-
tute. the trustees and patrons
thereof were much agitated and
deeply concerned as to where suoh
another, who could measure up 10
his preceptive qualifications, could
be found. But, as Edgeheld
has never yet failed to furnish
from her midst the man for the
place-any place-so in this she
has given to Johnston one OF her
very own, cherished, beloved ana
honored.
Rev. John Lake, who has been
elected principal of Johnston In
stitute, has been one among many
of Edgefeld's sons who has not
been without honor in bis own
country and among his own
brethren.
AS a child he was known for his
quick perceptive faculties and MS
unusual literary attainments. AT
an early age he stood the best ex-
animation in the county for en-
trance to the Citadel Academy
where he distinguished himself IN
his classes, and was considered the
most popular young cadet at tha'
institution. His popularity how
ever, was based on that solid es'
TEEN which comes from respec'
and affection. While there he gave
a new impetus to the young peo'
ple's religious movement which IL
this age is sweeping through the
schools and colleges of America
He also attended tho Theological
Seminary in Columbia, taking
special course there. He has beer
eminently successful as pastor
and leader, having to a great ex
4..+ ro;,vana+ed each churet
which he has served. For SOM
years he has been editor OF ', I'M II,
Way," which, as the organ of the 7
M. C. A., has been highly com
mended and adopted by that or
ganization as its medium of com
munication for the two states Q
Georgia and South Carolina. A

perience varied enough to fit hln
for the work he has und'ertaker
He has taught, and has trayelie
much, bringing him in consa1
and possesses that enthusiasm
zsai. vim, and energy, which thi
day land generation demand. Fl
is of that mental diathesis whic
makes him enve1op with his Who'll
heart whatever work be under
takes. Edgefeld will have n
cause to he ashamed of this son O
her soil, and the people of John

DANGER IN BARBER SHOPS.
Sanltarlans Emphasize the Necessity for
Health Rules.

War against unsanitary barbering
was last week declared in the conven-
ton of the American Public Health
Association at the Hotel Walton,
Philadelphia. DR.. A. Walter Suiter,
OF Herkimer, N. Y, opened the sub
Ject with a vigorous paper on ''The
Barber Shop as a Menace to Public
Health, and the views he expressed
were loudly applauded. 1t is probable
that the association will take formal ac-
tion in the matter before its weeks
work is ended.
cit seems that the time has arrived, >"
said DR.. Suiter, "when the attention
of this association, and through it that
OF public health authorities in general,
should be called to that part of per-
sonal hygiene which applies to the bar
Der shop. 1t is astonishing that while
the sanitary relations of most, if not
all, other public occupations have been
investigated, and in many instances
sanitary restrictions of the most Wig
OrOus character have been imposed to
protect the public interest, the first
attempt to regulate the operation of
the barber shops and to apply to them
the rules of sanitary administration
has been made in Paris within the
month just passed.
RULES FOR PARTISAN BARRIERS.
"An order has been formulated bv
the police requiring that specific rules
of asepsis and disinfaction shall be OBJ
served in all shops for the protection of
the public. These regulations call for
the use of metal combs, and provide
that all instruments shall be of metal.
All instruments must be submitted to
heat of 100 degrees centigrade before
and after use. Shaving brushes must
be thoroughly washed before and after
use, and the hands of the barber must
be thoroughly cleansed before passing
from one customer to another.
''The thought at once occurs that
the same order of things should pre-
vail here. AS individuals we are con-
stantly reminded of the grave personal
dangers which threaten the patron of
the average barber shops, and many of
us have adopted measurers of preven-
tion for self-protection. l, for instance,
always carry with me when go to the
barber shop my own shears, combs,
brushes and clippers; require every
thing to be moved away from the
chair, clean towels put on, and con-
sequently called the champion crank
of the town.
''The assumption is quite warrant
able that there is scarcely step in the
process usually employed by the bar
Der which does not carry with it an
element of danger Even such pre-
cautions as might, and sometimes are,
made use Of, such articles as combs,
brushes and sponges would still be un
clean and capable of conveying vita
lized elementary substance from one
person to another.

SAN JOSE SALE.
The Pest COmbatted by the use of Hydro.
cyanic Gas.

Professor w. G. johnson, state en-
tomolOgist, in a field meeting held Fri
day in the pear orchards of Capt. r. S.
Emory, near Chestertown, made some
experiments in the use of hydrocyanic
gas in combating the San Jose scale
This is the first experiment of the kind
ever made east of the Rocky Noun
tains. The tents used had been double
oiled and prepared under Professor
JOhnsOn's personal supervision, and
were absolute proof against any loss of
gas. The scale has been operating in
Captain Emory,s orchard for the past
three years, and his large acreage of
pears and other fruit trees have been
saved only by the most persistent ex-
periments with whale oil soap.
Nearly six hundred dollars worth of
this soap has been used this season on
one block of trees. This remedy has
not been entirely satisfactory, largely
from the fact that by the use of any
spray a considerable part of the scale
escaped without being touched, as the
offspring of one female scale re aches in
single season the enormous number
of three billions, it is apparent that the
spraying with whale oil soap has only
afforded a substantial check, without
entirely removing the trouble. The
searching nature of hydrocyanic gas
does not allow the escape of single in
sect. Then, too, in point of economy,
both in time and money, it possesses
decided advantages. DR.. J. J. Black,
one of the largest fruit-growers Of
Delaware and several entomologists of
national reputation, and a number of
the most prominent fruit-growers of
this and adjoining counties, were pres
ent to witness the work.

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
near to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be easily avoided.
To find out correctly, set your urine
aside for twenty four hours; a sedi-
ment or settling indicates kidney or
bladder trouble The mild and extra
ordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney, and bladder
remedy is soon realized. If you need
a medicine you should have the best.
At druggists fifty cents and one dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and
phamphlet, both sent free by mail.

Teeth That Speak for Themselves"
