Quality and Character as a Factor

If the President has done no b.
ing else by his discussion Of the
race suicide theory he has stirred
up the public on the question with
awakening thought and in he
comment OF the hour nothing better
has been said than was said by
Mary A Livermore in an address
before the Mothers and Father S
club at Boston where she expressed
her ideas on quality and character
as factor In the building of the
race. She said:
I'VE need to listen more to talk
about The culture Of fathers and
mothers than we do to the culture
of the children, it seems to me.
There are two mighty factors that
enter into the ma king OF individuals
and of nations. These factors are
heTedtty and environment. There
are men and women who are unfit
to be parents of children. At the
present time we have to depend
upon environment In many cases
ii is better 10 take children away
from their natural parents, 80 that
they may have a chance to do
better. The need is not more
childr.B, but better ones. Il would
not be race suicide # we were to
have more homes into wi ich only
two or three children were born
Quality and character signify more
than a horde

Baeley CAUGHT on at Last.

Senator Barney O'Neill and Attorney
General Bagley were dining together the
other evening and the waiter suggested,
among other dainties, mess of fried frog
legs.
Whenever | hear of frogs it always
reminds me of Senator Hepburn, !" unused
the attorney general.
II fail to see the connection" said the
senator. "The Democratic press has
compared Senator Hepburn to mostly
everything ugly, but l never heard of
his being likened to bull frog"
''No, that's not the idea," continued
the attorney general. 81 was thinking
of the blackboard campaign Mr.. Hey
burn and | made two years ago in the
southeast part of the state. Every time
we passed slough where frogs were
croaking he would remark: What a
splendid place for brewery I sus-
pected catch and declined to bite,
though he sprung the remark every time
we heard croak.
Last fall we stumped the southeast
together again and he made the same re.
mark the FIRST frog pond we struck.
couldn't resist the temptation to find out
what he meant and asked what on earth
would be the object of starting brewery
in such place.
Why, to get the hops out of the
frogs, shouted Hepburn, and he
laughed clean across four townships,
while | guided the buggy around the
stones and schemed to get even.
:" 1T took me two years to get you on
that, Bagley,' he chuckled, 'bnt landed
you at last, and its an ole one at that.
I'll just take a box of cigars when we
get to Montpelier and hanged if he
didn't.
II have hot pill for him now, though,
and I'll get that box of cigars back if it
takes me four campaigns to do it,

Important Decision.

Columbia, August IA The right
of trial by jury in civil case was
passed upon today by the Supreme
court in the case OF Pinckney Green,
which came up from Charleston.
Claim and delivery proceedings, it
seems, were brought against Green
in a magistrates court and a jury
was demanded. The magistrate re-
fused to summon jury unless Green
paid the cost, which amounted to
about So, whereupon Green's attor-
ney paid no attention to further pro-
ceedipgs, and the magistrate decided
the case against him.
The decision Of the Supreme court
states that it is plain, simple case
of the right of trial by jury, and the
question of costs of the jury is not to
be entertained. This right is given
by the constitution in civil cases as
we'll as criminal, and the decision OF
the magistrate is reversed, the case
being sent back for new trial, this
time by jury.

a Georgia Suggestion.

The proposition to establish rural
police force for the protection of the
people living in the country districts
is meeting with quite general ap-
proval in the South and it is possible
that q force modelled somewhat en-
the plan of the Texas Rangers may
be organized in number of Southern
States. Judge Emory Speer, Of
Georgia, comes out strongly in favor
of the proposition and gives several
vel! considered reasons for his views.
In some sections of the South the
conditions have become 30 intolerable
from the frequency of outrageous
crimes that the families of farmers
are not safe in their homes when un-
protected by men. If it is necessary
to maintain strong police force to
protect the women and children from
the roaming criminals, the matter Of
expense will not be considered, we
are sure, for the safety of women and
children is of first Importance Sum

The Chaplin Meeting.

We took our first summer trip out
in tre county last Saturday and at
tended the barbecue of f. W. Frick
& Son, at Chaplin. There was a
large crowd present to erjoy the
pleasures of the day. The dispen-
sary was closed and the crowd con-
sequently in a good humor and up to
the hour of our leaving nothing
happened to mar the pleasure OF the
occasion. The young people enjoyed
a game of baseball which was wit
messed by a large crowd of interested
spectators.
At Ill o'clock, Mr.. John S. Derrick,
our efficient County Superintendent
of Education, acting as chairman, IN
troduced Mr.. J. Brooks Wingard
who stated that be had come to meet
with the people of that section and
knew of nothing to speak about ex-
cept that the good roads question
was being considerably agitated and
be hoped some good would grow out
of the agitation. After making a
very good little speech he closed.
He was followed by Mr.. E. q
Shealy, who made some timely re-
marks on some of the questions be-
fore the people. He dwelt upon the
road question which he thought
would be one Of the main issues in
the next campaign. He opposed tax
alton in any form, because he
thought the people were overburden,
ed with taxes and that they could
bear no more. With the statement
that Senator Tillman was present
and would interest the people, he
closed.
Senator Tillman was introduced
amid applause which showed that he
still held close place in the affec-
tions of the people of this county.
He commenced by giving an account
of his stewardship, going over his
work as their representative; it was
their cause he was advocating and
their fight he was leading. He re-
lated how he had been invited to de-
liver speeches up north and that be
was paid for doing so. 1t was out
side and apart from his official duties.
He was we'll received and was
frequently interrupted by applause.
The crowd would have undoubtedly
been much larger had it been known
for certain that he would have been
present.
The barbecue dinner was fine, the
meats being we'll cooked and highly
seasoned by Mr.. Elias Amick one Of
the best GUSTS in the Fork.
We noticed that crops generally
were in good conditions and we are
glad to say that our people have no
just cause for complaint.

day for the purpose of discussing
the road question and adopting some
plan looking to the improvement Of
the public highways of the county.
By request hon. G. NJ. E6rd
called the meeting to order and upon
motion was made permanent chair
man. Without losing any time in
explanations he introduced as the
first speaker, Hon. A. G. Latimer,
the Junior United States Senator
from this State.
Senator Latimer's plan was to levy
a tax of S mills for 5 years, the total
amount to be collected at one time
and the amount so raised to be sup
plemented by the national govern
ment.
He was followed by Senator Till
man who favored rock for the Fork,
clay and sand for the central portion
of the county and sand and clay for
the sand hills. The money to be
used on the roads to be provided for
by bond issue.
Congressman Lever followed on
the lines suggested by Senator Till
man, but opposed government aid
and bond issue.
The meeting then adjourned until
p. M, at which hour the people
failed to assemble and the convention
adjourned without accomplishing
anything.
