Sound Talk in South Carolina.

The public men of South Carolina
are so much given to talk which is a
mere waste Of words, or worse. that it
is a genuine relief to find one of them
utterlng thoughts which are sane, sem
sible and civilized. A few days ago
Governor insolvency. who began life
as newsboy and went from the
editors chair to the governorship. sent
his annual message to the Legislature
and it was n document well worth
reading in any section. He dwells at
length and with much stress upon the
subject Of. education. Unlike many
southern men he does not shy at conf
pulsory education, but urges that the
evil of the great number of children
in the cotton mills of the state is n
menace 10 society, and insists that
they should be compelled by law To
attend school. He says:
Ignorance is the worst of diseases,
and the state has the right To- require
that the children he brought up in such
a way as 10 make the best possible citi-
zens II is urged that the cost will be
too great. The state is now spending
more than Il million dollars on the
education of its children and the proper
position is that every child of school
age should reap its share. But the
greatest objection which is urged to
compulsory education in the South is
the present negro and the fear
that if he is educated he cannot be
controlled. The fallacy of this argu-
ment is patent Ia every thoughtful
man. 1t is a fact known and recog-
nized that in this state at present in
proportion to the population of each.
there are n great many more negro
children than white receiving the edu-
cation provided. The negro is here to
stay, and to educate him rightly will
but teach him his position and be of
benefit to him and to us. To leave him
without an education is but to make
him tool in the hands of the design
ing and a curse to society. 1t Is but
suicidal not to require the white chill
dren of the state to attend the common
schools for fear the negro children will
receive the same advantages. This ar
gument means that we should let the
white children grow up in ignorance
in order that the negro may not learn"

He went away tothe war that day,
To the swinging bugie song;
All staunch and true in his suit of blue,
AND sturdy, brave and strong.
Mid the tramp of feet and the loud

And the ringing of the cheers,
There were none to see SuCn one as she.
Who could not see for tears
And back again came the marching men.
With the bugle singing still;
Yet the IDusic'S surge was signing

All sad and slow and shrill.

In the drea mless, silent sleep;
And the bugle song had a measure wrong,
For the buglers sometimes weep.

any more notice Of a Kings corona
ZION than Britain does OF President s
inauguration The conundrum may
be calculated to arouse American
rride. but the answer to it is by no
means difficult. Perhaps it's briefest
answer is in another question. Why do
so many Americans love to travel in
Europe? 1t is because We love the
picturesque and the historic lands OF
ration in the chivalry and romance in
OLD World ceremonies and customs,
opportunity for mental Improvement
Ia such travel. In this particular in
stance. exceptional American interest
in the British coronation is stimulated
by the very close relations of the two
nations and the sincere desire of both
to continue and cement such rela-
tions.
With the Inauguration Of our Ameri-
can President occurring once in four
wears and with the affair SO simple and
democratic. and in such bleak March
weather, it is not to be excepted or
desired that England or other foreign
lands should take any great interest in
the event. If our inaugural ceremonies
took place but once in half a century
or so. if they were "A glittering pageant
rich with the traditions and trappings
of thousand years, amid solemn en-
hlams of ancient architecture. with only
a select few allowed to be present. then
1t Is not unlikely that the powerful and
tie rich of Europe would quarrel among
themselves for the privilege of front
seats We do not want the Inaugural
ton OF our President other than it Is
except that May instead of March
would be better and result in fewer
deaths from pneumonia-but that is nc
reason why our government and our
most patriotic citizens may not with
ali propriety take keen interest in the
formal installation of King Edward In
