THE DAILY HERALD REACHING
OUT.

The policy of the DAILY HERALD
has been to establish itself firmly
and upon a sure foundation in CO.
lumbia first, before reaching out to
other accessible aud desirable points
even in this county. But now that
we are established here, and people
have ceased to question and wonder
whether or not we had come to stay {;
now that our subscription books and
advertising columns give unmistak-
able signs of our staying qualities,
we wish to reach out little, and Of
course the next most important
point in the county is Mt. Pleasant.
SO we have secured the services of
bright young boy to represent us,
and have established an agency
there, and will have the Mt. Pleas
ant news as feature hereafter.
Dick Williams is our agent, and
we hope the good people of Mt.
Pleasant will encourage him in his
first business effort in life. We
have arranged for special delivery
service, and he will meet the papers
at the train every evening and de-
liver them at once and collect for
them by the week at the same price
we charge in Columbia. 10 cen ts.
His friends can help him not only
by taking the paper, but by telling
him the news; especially news of a
business character, such as boy
might not Know Of, or overlook. Or,
failing to see him, if they will tele-
phone items of interest to this office,
that will help the Mt. Pleasant de-
partment show to advantage.
AS a business proposition, the bust
ness men of Mt. Pleasant, the pro-
gressive, enterprising people Of that
hustling, busy town, should be glad
of the opportunity for the daily ad-
vertising of their city. Their busy
season will soon be on, and how they
are growing, what they are doing
and building, il told TO the world,
will surely help them along. And
not only help themselves, but help a
deserving and industrious young boy
of their own town get start in life ;
and last-and even if least still
worthy of some consideration we
hope-help the only daily paper in
their county to extend its territory
and become more useful to the com
munity it is trying to serve, and
more profitable to the men who
make it,

THE lecture on the Beers, by
Rev. Mr.. King, at the First
Methodist Church, while neither
graphic nor eloquent, contained
much information. Amorg other
things we learned OF law there,
which we should be glad to see
incorporated into the laws OF this
country. There is only one rail-
road going into the Transvaal, and
everybody has to use that, as the
lions, tigers, snakes, etc., make walk
ing dangerous and uncomfortable.
So in entering the Transvaal by this
railroad, at every stopping place
you are compelled to pass through
a ballot" room; pretty much such
places as our custom houses. There
you must give al account of yourself.
If you are decrepid with disease or
old age if you are pauper or con-
vict, you cannot pass through, but
are put back on the train and re-
turned to where you came from. But
if your credentials are good, and you
are able bodied and willing to work,
you are found employment. You
are not permitted to roam about
looking for job; you are given one,
and you are made to take it and
keep it until you get another one bet
ter suited to your taste and accom-
plishments. If you give mp your job
and are caught and convicted of be-
ing idle, you are sent to the mines
for twelve months; and then you
are given another job, and ad-
monished to keep it. The conse-
quence is, they have neither loafers
nor tramps in the Transvaal. What
fine thing such a law would be for
this country. Let the Custom Off
Gals investigate every emigrant
that comes, and ii he is weakling,
either in physical, mental or moral
character, turn him back but il he
can and will work, have sort of gov
ernmental intelligence office through
which he may find employment;
then require every man, whether
native or foreign birth, to work !;
and if he won't work, send him to
the mines and make him work. Co
lumbia could furnish company of
chronic loafers ready for expectation
to the mines right now.

Mcdowell School.

Though at one time, from Novem-
Der until February, Mcdowell school
seemed thing of tbs past, she now
wonted way. The beautiful new
building, spacious grounds, hand
some desks and clocks, with splen.
didly lighted, sunny rooms, furnace

call into life the best efforts of every

DIR. GRANTS LECTURE.

Is the Alkahest Lyceum Course a
success? Every one of those who
heard DR.. Roland d. Grants lecture
at the Opera House Friday evening,
will answer yes AS more than
one remarked, "it was worth the
cost of the whole course" And any
seeming extravaganza praise We
might give it in this notice, would be
fully concurred in by the entire de-
lighted audience present, and even
then not do the speaker justice; for
his was a combination of eloquence,
pathos aud humor, with charming
cordiality of manner rarely seen,
and rich, round, clear voice de-
lightful to listen to.
To epitOmize it would be but to
mar the memory of delightful
evening. 1t was a sermon; or was it
a joke? 1t was full of profound
philosophy; or was it humor? 1t
was temperance talk; or was it a
political speech? 1t was true to life,
ana as varied. Whether describing
the majestic beauty of a mountain
scene; or the rhythmic murmur of the
sea waves; or whether treading on
holy ground by the grave where his
own little child lay barred, 1t was
tale of life, beautiful in its word
painting, splendid in it's delivery
varied, as our lives are, with sun
sh ne and shadow
Not the least attractive part, was
its frankness. 1t was not surfeit
of compliment to our virtues; though
his tribute to mother and wife was
beautiful indeed; but he gave us to
understand in the next sentence that
the whining, complaining, neglect
full, unappreciative wife or mother"
was not in the class he was describ-
ing. The bread winner, he who
paced the tread mill of daily routine
work and provided for the home,
was entitled to some more attention
and consideration than "star
boar der" when the shades OF even
ing came and he went to the place
called Home. If it were indeed a
Home, worthy to be called Home,
with blessed memories to wean a
man back from the world, there
should be no snakes of Discord there.
But we cannot epitomize. 1t was
all too good, and the whole too big.
1t did not minimize the difficulties
of life, but it magnif1ed the power of
man. The power to resist and over
come; the power to know and appre-
ciate and enjoy; the power to endure
and strive and obtain; the power to
/ drive the snakes of envy, hate and
malice; of intemperance, impurity
and all Observation-Disclosures, out of our
/ lives, our homes and country, and
make this life, here on earth, right
where and while we live, a veritab lie
snakeless paradise.
| DR.. Grant Is as charming socially,
as he is delightful as platform ora
tor. His personality will not be
soon forgot, and his lecture, like DR..
Willett's lecture on "Sunshine,"
delivered here some fourteen years
ago, will linger with us and Go us
good, until we are old.
By all manner of means we should
try our best to have him come here
again next season.

JUDGE HoLLIsTER of Cincinnati,
hit the thugs a knock out blow
when he issued permanent in
junction against the Jeffyies-R Rub
lin contest. All such contests the
Judge declares are degrading in
their influence and public nui
sance. We could rid our country of
a great many existing evils, if we
would only use the courts. But the
trouble is that while all true gentle
men keep careful guard over their
own conduct, so that their moral
character will pass muster 80 far as
is known to the public at least, there
are many who would be less virtu-
Gus If they dared, and few indeed
who so love virtue and morality for
virtues sake as to busy themselves
about the public morals of the
state or community in which they
live. Aud yet it is the public
morals that fashions the conduct
and shapes the destiny of most
of us. Men who would not take the
name of God in vain themselves,
will laugh at and enjoy the bias
phemous oaths of another man, and
even delight in quoting from him !;
and little boy who hears the curses
Of the biasphemer and sees the en-
joTment of the p"ofessed christian,
naturally concludes that that is a
good way to entertain and amuse
folks, and so he tries it on his COM
rades; and thus the soul destroying
pestilence spreads. Public opinion,
which is but the expression of pub
lie morals, should be so opposed to
the useless, senseless, wicked habit
of profane swearing, that no self
respecting man would engage In it.

MRS. NATION will essay the role
of editor next Tuesday; wherein she
shows her weakness. Mrs. Nation is
neither a speaker nor writer of any
ability. She yields a hatcheE to
perfection; and as all earnest
woman determined to right great
wrong she attracted the attention of
the world and won the admiration
of many But in accepting money
to go before the public in any
capacity as actress, editor or lee
turer, she shows a weakness and
littleness that detracts greatly from
the good work she at first had in
hand. She seems to be as vain as
she is bossy, and much notoriety
hath turned her head.

off with the butt end of buggy
whip. The negro was carried be-

surrounded by the officers and seve-

hearing, examined at length. He
told conflicting stories, but was
frank and appeared to bs innocent
He was carried before Mrs. Pickett
aud her daughter but they could not
positively identify him, and with a
promise to take another look at him
tomorrow, the negro was carried To

NASHVILLE, Feb. 20.-The inquiry
into the charges of bribery in con-
nectioG with the defeat of the Peeler
Bill proceeded to-day with the COM
mittee still far away from any game.
Blackhawk Nichol, a Franklin
saloon-keeper, was before the COM

franklin people that he had sent
$50 to Nashville to help defeat the
bill. He admitted telling these
things. but said he only did Il be-
cause the prohibitiOnists were tanta-

Now there is one especial reason why
UnitarIanism is especially dangerous as
