The State House.

II the editors Of this State were Legislators
the State House in Columbia would soon be
finished up in fine shape. All the utterances
that We have noticed favor the expenditure.
The Press and Banner knows very little of
the merits Of the proposition, but as a rule
we favor the most elegant public buildings
that 1t is possible for people to get.
II it is proposed to do any "Cheap John"
work, this newspaper would be opposed to
the expenditure, but II an elegant job is con-
templated. we are for the appropriation, and
the completion Of the building.
We are not only in favor Of an elegant State
House, but We are also in favor Of splendid
college buildings. The college buildings in
Columbia lack very little Of being a positive
disgrace to this people.
We wouldn't insult our Graded School au-
thorities by mentioning their equipment
with the poor ram shackle outfit now in use
at the South Carolina College.
Public buildings generally bespeak the
pride. Intelligence and public spirit OF the
citizens, and, for this reason, We trust that all
visitors may be hereafter shut out of the
South Carolina College buildings until they
are improved.

The seaboard,s Success.

The Seaboard Air Line Railroad Company
has secured, in the purchase Of Sidney Park,
fine depot or station grounds near the heart
OF the city of Columbia. The company paid
$50, 600 for twenty.three acres, the park being
very much In the shape Of a basin on three
sides.
While this editor has no very distinct or
or clear idea of the park, yet as far as we
know, we are decidedly OF the opinion that
the trade was advantageous for both the city
and the railroad.
The city will likely enjoy the park more
after 1t has been occupied by the railroad,
than 1t has heretofore done. While the town
will hereafter have the money and be relieved
Of the expense Of its care, the park will be
beautifled and made more attractive.
If the railroad, company keeps up it, repu'
tation for energy and push II will 30 take care
of the grounds, that 1t may possibly have In
Columbia the largest, tae prettiest and the
most attractive depot grounds along the
entire length Of their track. II somebody
doesn't provoke Mr.. St. John SO that he will
take up the sidetrack, both Columbia and the
railroad people will be very proud OF the
beautiful grounds, and the handsome depot
But let Columbians be very
careful OF Mr.. 81. John. The ease with which
he gets into little pets. talks insultingly to
gentlemen, and takes up sidetracks Is amaz-
ing, when the high position which he holds Is
considered For doing little spiteful things
and for disrespectful and illmannered be-
haviour Mr. st. John sometimes deserves the
cake.

The Piano Recital.

Miss Kirby gave her piano recital in the
Court Room last Monday night to a crowded
house, and the universal opinion as expressed
In our hearing is, that her talent and accom-
plishment in the musical art is q wonder.
Possessing natural musical ability which was
recognized by those who knew her at home,
the Converse College authorities offered her
special inducements, as musical scholar,
and for four years that high class college has
given her the benefits OF all the musical In.
struction that could be offered by any college,
and her proficiency shows how we'll she
has improved her excellent opportunities.
As far as We know. the people OF Abbeville
are surprised and delighted at her wonderful
performance last Monday night, and they feel
very proud Of her success. Our people appre.
ciate her not only for her musical acquire
ments but they honor her for her modesty
and womanly graces.
In her recital she was ably assisted by some
Of the sweetest singers In town, namely
Miss Corrie McClung, Miss Mamie Tsggart,
Mrs. ]. L. Mcmillan, and Mr.. W. n. Jones.
The recital was great success, and was the
subject OF pleasant comment yesterday on our
streets.

public OF Abbeville. The program, artistic
and select, was indeed enjoyed by the students
and lovers OF music who were present. Ab:
OF Miss Kirby's ability, recognizing in her
playing, that perfection of time, touch and
conception, which vii! easily place her 10 the
front rank Of the musical artists OF the day.

Grieg and Liszt, to the concluding number.

lar singers.
rendered by Miss Corrie McClupg, with her
usual grace, and being recalled. she pleased
her many admirers with dainty serenade.
Abbeville should congratulate herself that
she has within her midst. musicians who
can produce such satisfactory results. Those
who rendered the concert Monday night, be.
ing fully able to grace the concert stage ip
any part Of the South.
Miss Kirby is to be congratulated upon the
success OF her recital; her rendition Of the
brilliant and wonderful music OF the masters,
gives evidence OF her superior genius and
power OF ofinterpretation, which are q guaran-
Tee OF her present and future success In her
chosen profession.

Erskine College.

We know Of no more courtly gentleman
than DR.. w. NJ. Grier, President Of Erskine
College. In the every day affairs OF life, in
the class room, or elsewhere the instincts and
bearing OF the scholarly gentleman are always
present, and his example for his whole life
time, has been an inspiration to those who
may have come within the radius of his in.
huence.
To him and to DR.. Carlisle. of Spartanb nburg,
are the people Of South Carolina possibly
more indebted than to any other two men
within our borders. Their religion is a re-
ligion Of principle, and not the form OF pro.
fession. No possible number OF "Pro fessori
Of Religion" could WELD the influence that
these sincere Christians exercise. Their hon.
:. .esty and sincerity would outweigh the value
Of multitude OF Professors" whom the
multitude may recognize as hypocrits.

Fight on McLaurin.


Politicians occasionally take a whack at
Senator McLaurin because he had the good
sense to vote for the ratification Of the Paris
treaty Of peace.
II Senator McLaurin will stand to his col.
ors, he can, In our opinion, win his re. election
when that fight is brought on.
II any man, outside OF a politician, can see
wherein he was wrong in standing to the
Government we would like to hear from
him.
AS result of the war. the Philippines came
into our hands, and no man can give q good
reason for our throwing away an empire. The
people OF the islands, 1t seems TO us, will
make good and loyal citizens, but If they can
not become good Americans they can "move
on" just as the Indians did.
The territory is ours by right-by right OF
purchsse-by right Of conquest-and II the
Inhabitants Of the islands don't like the own.
ership, 1t is so much the worse for them.
The strange thing about the acquisition OF
territory is, that we have never added a foot
Of ground to which there was not objection.
Even in the purchase of Alaska there were
good men who objected to acquisition OF
mountains Of snow and seas of Ice. But now
this country is as contentious as possible
about locating the dividing line.
We have never heard OF anybody who was
willing for the United States to cede territory
once acquired, and the history of the past is
guarantee OF the correctness Of expansion.
Since the foundation Of the government 1t
has expanded to many times its first dimen
sions. And when spread-eagle Democrats
have apOlxen In forner vooro than ha,a
claimed the honor Of most Of the expansion.
But now the Republicans are taking a hand
in the expansion business. and Democrats
here and there hold up their hands in holy
horror.
