SOME of the citizens of Aiken
seem to oppose having an electric
trolley enter the city. This is moth
ing but a piece of narrow-minded
foolishness on the part of some
who fear their "business will be
ruiued" by the entrance of the
line. Who ever heard tell of a
railroad or such line as this dam
aging a town Z? Aiken had better
pay them to enter than to be try
ing to prevent it, if such was ne
cessary, rather than to miss this
golden opportunity for the ad-
vancement of her interests. It
may force the merchants 10 COM
pete with Augusta prices and car
ry a better class of goods, but the
business men of Aiken have &C.
cess to the same wholesale stores
as that of Augusta, and with the
proper business management Ak
en- may hold her own and draw
trade from the villages between
Aiken and Augusta. 1t is a
certain fact, 10 say the least, that
Aiken has nothing to loose, and
has probably much to gain by
the connection of Aiken with Au-
gusta by the trolley line. Aiken
has a bright future before her, and
shall her future be darkened by q
few people with selfish motives op'
posing the entrance into her linn
its of the proposed railway I?

VAssAR college graduating class
this year was the largest in the
history of the institution, 142 hav-
ing received diplomas. There
seems to be cordial feeling on
the part of the faculties and trus-
tees of our different colleges in
South Carolina toward the young
women of the state. A large num-
ber of scholarships have been Of
fered, but the response to these
opportunities have been very mea-
gre. What is the matter +? Do
the youhg women of our state de-
serve educational advantages ? If
30, there are chances galore for
them to receive entellectual train
ing and culture. Converse college
alone offers forty-two scholarships.
Let some Of Edgefeld's young wo-
men apply for examination. They
surely are not all too proud to ac-
cept free education ?

PROCEEDINGS have been initial
ed before the commissioner of in
ternal revenue to test the question
whether South Carolina can be le-
gally required to take out special
tax stamps as wholesale and retail
LIQUOR dealers under the state dis
pensary laws. The state reserves
the right to do what private citl-
zens are restrained from legally
doing-selling whiskey. 1t has
thus formed one of the greatest
hs hts ssafR hba 1totslstsR6ttllt7E Oppose
combinations. While the dlspen-
saries are owned and operated by
the state and the profits accrue to
the state it is doubtful whether
the state can legally be required
to pay this tax. The difference
between the states liquor trust
and any other trust is one is own
ed by the state. the other by pri-
vate citizens.

The Chester Lantern, in article
on competent laborers, says: We
need women who can make good
biscuit and corn dodger, and do
not have to make light bread on
the hit-or-miss plan, mover know
ing whether it will rise or not till
success or failure is a fact, who
can make the very best out of or
dinary to poor steak or. roast, who
know when meat is properly cook
ed, and can tell what is wrong
when it is not good; who can
make her six-year-old boy a suit
that will not fit his brother two
years older equally as we'll" This
all true, Bro. Bighans, but didn't

A VERY sad and fatal accident
occurred at the Epworth Orphanage
Wednesday. During storm nine
of the little orphans were under a
shed, when it was suddenly blown
down upon them. One boy was
cruelty killed by a heavy sill fall
ing upon him and crushing his
skull. His name was Charley
Stack. Two other boys, Lee White
and John Henry Parker, were se-
verely injured. The little fellow
pho was killed had been at the
orphanage about three years. He
leaves a brother, Rodney Stack,
who also is a member of the or
panage family, and mother to-
gether with the friends of the or
phanage to mourn his loss. The
remains were buried by the side of
the child's father at Lake City.
Thus we are reminded of the un-
certainty of life, that without a
moments warning our lives may
be destroyed in the twinkling of
an eye. Suppose it had been you?
Are you ready, fond mother, are
you ready, affectionate father, are
you ready loying sister and kind
