But though na- tfves of both sexes give preference 70 mates who are large and good look- ing. there is no record of any love ex- istinE between any couple; The om.y ,.. affection they seem to feel IS TOT ilt- tie children, whom they pet and play with as toys.

 To the colonial who lives among them and knows these thing 1t seems almost impossible that the responsible British government can be sincere in It's assumption that the only difference between the higher races and the na- tive is in the color of the skin. Even the children out here find 1t puzzling to reconcile the teaching of the mis- sionary on Sunday with the every day belief about the Kaffirs. Colonial children are not plastic little things, who believe what they are told. Thej are shrewd little customers, who form their own views and have little rev erence for the opinions of their elders. Day by day they hear their mothers blame the mission school for the inso- lence and depravity of the natives. and in time they come to think there must be a good deal of make believe" in what they hear in church and chapel. And that Is not wholesome thought for young minds to feed upon. There seems to be a very great field for religious work among the white peo- pie, especially the children, of South Africa,

 ED CERTIFICATES.
July Examination Papers Will Have Been Passed Upon With Inves- tigation of Summer School

 The only names which remain to be

 about 60o0 will be placed in different teaching positions, the remainder con sisting of persons who, since receiv-
 Ing their certificates, have entered eth CT lines of work.

WRONGFULLY ACCUSED.

The Hon. George r. Jones of
Davis. will have to, after read
ing last Saturdays News and
Courier, take back what he
charged that paper with in his
'.Hurrah for Tillman and the
Dispepsary" letter in last weeks
TINES. The News and Courier
has been for d considerable
time publishing clippings favor
able to Tillman, and in the issue
we refer to, it reproduced 8 good.
or rather large part OF Nh.
Jones letter, as wei! as other
clippings in praise Alr. Jones,
political idol. Therefore we
think when Mr.. Jones says"The
News and Courier is re-intro-
ducing its crafty schemes Of 1890
for the overthrow Of Tillman by
copying from many little six for
a quarter journals in intelligence
and in their conception Of fair
treatment, and are heraldlng
their spleen and spite all over
the State and the country gen
orally, to down Tillman," he has
either not been keeping up with
the policy of the News and
Courier or his zeal for Tillman
and the dispensary will not allow
anything or anybody to yell
"hurrah for Tillman and the dis
pensary as loud as himself.
In our judgment, instead of
discriminating against Sena-
tor Tillman, the News and Cou-
rier has disseminated in his
favor, to the extent that wonder
has been expressed by many
that the News and Courier does
not reproduce strong articles
both against the State dispen-
sary, ard the dispensary confer
ence to be called prior to the
regular Democratic convention,
which have appeared in weekly
newspapers, these articles beng
of interest to many of the News
and Courier's readers, and eau
tioning the voters of the State
against, by Indifference, per
mitting the politicians capturing
the Democratic convention to
make the support of the State
dispensary a requirement to run
for Office. or vote in the primary.
