work they have done in making our
state what 1t Is to-day. In his speech
at Fairmont few days ago, he refer
red to our public schools as one of the
greatest agencies of the many which
have resulted in making our state so
prosperous. Our politicians are not in
the habit OF putting anything other
than party In the fore front. They gem
orally attribute all prosperity as the
result of party policy when the truth is
the silent influences at work in our
schools are giving to US a manhood and
a womanhood that VIII insure prosper
ity in spite of any policy that may be
adopted by any party. Our governor,
let what else may be said Of him, has a
good heart and q wise head, when 1t
comes to the general welfare of the
people, lie is friend OF education, and
is willing to do all IN his power to make
our schools better.

TOPICS OF THE SCHOOLS.

There is much talk these days con-
corning the great prosperity of our
state. and indeed, West virginia is talk
ing her place among the very foremost
states in the union. In few years.
when all her material wealth is fully
developed, she will be among the rich
est, II not the richest state in the un-
ion, in proportion to size But 1t is not
this wealth especially to which atten-
tlon Is called, In these notes, but more
particularly the causes which have led
to 1t. The politician attributes 1t to the
policy of his party, let that party be
which 1t may, the capitalist claims that
to him belongs the honor because with
his money he has built railroads, fellsd
the forests, opened the mines and start
ed manufacturing plants all over the
state. These both have done their
part and will so continue to do in the
years to come, but our schools have
done more than everything else COM
bined TO make US what we are as a
state to-day. and as they become better
or worse in the years to come, so will
our state rise or fall in Importance as a
factor in this great nation. The true
development Of our state must be done
by the educated brain and the develop
ed muscles of West Virglnla's own sons
and daughters. Our schools, from the
lowest district school In the state 10 the
university, of which we are all so
proud. or should be, are doing their part
in causing the great uplIft that our
state has been getting during the past
few years. Silently but surely the
leaven has worked. is working and will
continue to work until our entire popu-
lation VIII partnke of the culture
which is the result Of the work in our
public schools. Some will laugh at this
and deride the thought that there is
anything elevatlng in our free schools,
as they are snaeringly called, but, al
though they are not perfect, stlll they
are the greatest factor at work In the
elevation of the race. and as they grow
better the race becomes better.

OF money and II nice house nicely

cause of this sadness.
1t is not simply that their boy is

was going out nights where good

THE SOUTH CAROLINA DISPEN-
SARY.

The report Of the State Board of
Control shows that the business Of
the dispcnsary is now on better
basis than it has ever been before.
The profits last year were the larg-
est in the history O. the institution,
and the board seems proud Of the
financial showing it is able to
make. The net profits for 1899
amounted to $414,ISI.S4. OF this
amount $22o,d92. .35 to the towns
and cities, and $l93,oo9.A9 go to
the State for the benefit Of the
school fund.
The dispcnsary question is one
on which the Christian people Of
the State arc divided. There arc
those who regard it the best solu-
ton of the whiskey problem, and
long step i'll the direction of pro-
hibition. 1t has driven the saloon
element out Of the State. They
think that in the present state Of
public opinion prohibition cannot
be enforced. This is the solution
to which the administration is COM
mitted, and the dispcnsary law en-
forced is better than prohibition
not enforced. Since whiskcy will
be sold, let the State control il and
derive the profits from it, rather
than put the traffic in the hands Of
individuals with all the evils Of the
old saloon system. AS the profits
increase and the school fund is aug
mcntcd, the number Of its friends
will likely increase.
There arc others, however. who
oppose the dispcnsury on high
mora! grounds. They hold that
the dispcnsary. IN lis last analysts,
is Il bar room, and the transfer of
management from the individual
to the State docs not change its
character. They cannot believe
that the sale OF liquor is morally
right, and therefore they are as
much opposed to thc State engage
ing in the business as they. are to
the individual. And since the &C
cessory, as we'll rs the principal, is
guilty in the eyes Of the law, the
State which furnishes the liquor
which is the known cause of crime,
becomes accessory with the drunk
ard to the evil deeds which he COM
nits. As for the school fund, they
would prefer that it be not in
creased, than have the money come
from this source. They subscribe
to the sentiment of the following
extract from "The Crucifxion Of
Philip Strong" by Charles M.
Sheldon, ellis indignant aston
ishment deepened yet more, if that
were possible, when he found that
the license Of $500 a year for each
saloon was used by the town to
support the public school system.
That, to Philips mind, was an
awful sarcasm on Christian civili-
cation. 1t seemed to him like sell
ing man poison according to law,
and then taking the money from
sale to help the widow to purchase
mourning. 1t was full as ghastly
as that would bc.' 1t is probable
that those who hold this view in
reference to the dispensary will
have a candidate in the field for
Governor in the next campaign.

There were no other stops Of con

Intellect, great in concentration, great

great mouth, which tells the story Of

in resolution, and those strong, even
teeth are set firmly, sincerity and
courage are stamped upon his lips
And when his mouth is softened with

portrayed.
There were a number in the party
