We cannot but admire the
efforts being made by the Col
umbia State to secure legislation
for compulsory education, and
we predict the succeeding legis-
lature will enact a compulsory
education law. The present gen.
eraI assembly has by very
close vote put itself upon record
as opposed to such legislation.
but it will come, and the day is
not far off. The need of such a
law is apparent to those who
give attention TO educational
conditions in this State. We
have upon our statute books a
law against child labor, with no
provision for keeping these
children from becoming street
idIers. We say to the parents
"you shall not require your
children to labor in the mills: :
and yet we do not continue our
care for these children by COM
pelling them to go to school.
The argument that negro
children would be forced into
the schools by such law and
absorb the school fund will no
longer scare off anybody for it is
well known that negroes need
no law to compel them to attend
school, everyone of them go
voluntarily and glad of the op
portunity. 1t is the whites who
are Indifferent, and do not take
advantage of the educational
advantages provided for by the
State, and inasmuch as it is nee
essary for the future civilization
of this country that the whites
should be educated, the State
should take a hand in the fight
and enact a Law to save the
white man from his own folly.

ages liable to a fine. The State
courts have sustained the law
holding the delivery Of G. O. D.
liquor packages is not an en-
croachmenl upon interstate COM
ncrce power, because express
companies in delivering such
packages made sales: and we're
not acting as common carriers,
but as warehousemen. This case
has been appealed to the United
States Supreme Court. and the
publication of the decision will
be awaited with interest. If the
Kentucky Act is upheld the
liquor problem can be more
ehectually handled. The South
Dakota Act REINFORCED with
the Kentucky Act will put
South Carolinain a in position
to drive out the greater
part of the illegal traffic in
whiskey. That legislation of
such a nature is necessary can
be seen by a visit to the express
offices where the vast amount of
C. O. D. liquor is awaiting the
purchaser, and also the almost
daily visits of whiskey drummers
who induce people to buy, and
give them encouragement to
violate the law.

The more we see of the oper-
ations of the federal rate bill the
more are we convinced that it
works in the interests OF the
railroads and is Of no benefit to
the masses. There was much
ado made over the rate bill, and
South Carolina's senior Seuator
was held in the lime light during
the passage of the bill, but if
there is anything in it which
tends to lower rates, or causes
railroads to handle freight more
promptly, or even prevents dis:
elimination we are unable to find
it. The whole scheme IN our
judgment is nothing more than
putting a lot of money in the
treasures of the great railroads
without giving the people any
better service.

Vet India with her POO millions popu-

The great obstacle to the extension

carrying trade of the world is in the
hands of foreign nations. Only about

For several years the balance OF the

annually we are paying about 3oo MI

The great issues in this country do
not lie between the platforms OF the
two great political parties, the real
divisions are the relations Of labor and
capital and the monopoly Of public
franchise for private gain. On one
side stand the trusts, large, grim and
unrelenting in their greed: on the
other side stands organized labor, herce
determined and socialistic.
If this country is to be saved. there
must be some power midway between
these extremes. strong enough 20 hoio

Ny friends, Theodore Roosevelt with
his ''big stick" is doing this country a

I have little faith in any political party
in these times. My faith lies in the
manhood, the exceptional manhood Of
this republic, which has risen to every
emergecy, and have been patiently
waiting to hear the voice OF the
Great Commoner" in response to the
urgent invitation of the eloquent
Georgian.
Republican institutions cannot live
with plutocracy on one side and a
socialism on the other, and it will take
at least four more years with "ble

A Process Thnt Requires Both Pa
tience and Skill.
With certain tribes wampum is still
highly priced and necklaces are worn
by men, women and children when
they are the fortunate possessors Of
them. To make wampum various kinds
Of shells are used, white and those
having q lavender hue being most
liked.
The thin shells are broken into little
pieces and by aid Of nippers are made
as nearly round as possible. When
each piece is drilled in the center, tbs
old time fire kindling style Of drill be-
ing used, the shells are then strung and
rolled with the hand on q fat stone,
which grinds them until they are
smooth and even.
Comparatively few Indians among
those who prize wampum beads most
highly have the skill or patience to
make them, even though they had the
materials. The fact is there are but
few wampum bead makers in the coun-
try, and 1t often happens that long Pill
grimages must be made to secure the
for really fine beads, and, as
with the white mans trinkets, that
which Is ''far fetched and dear bought"
Is most sought after for ornamentation.

HOW LINCOLN WON.

A. Bad Looking Legal Case That Waa
Saved By Fraulness.
The lawyer whose honesty is proved
has the confidence Of the Judge and
Jury. A story Of Abraham Lincoln Is
an illustration. BE was appointed to
defend one charged with murder. The
crime was brutal one, the evidence
entirely circumstantlal, the accused q
stranger. Feeling was high and against
the friendless defendant. On the tia!
Lincoln drew from the witnesses full
statements Of what they saw and
knew. There was no effort to confuse,
no attempt to place before the jury
the facts other than they were. In the
argument, after calling attention to the
fact that there was 10 direct testimo-
ny, Lincoln reviewed the clrcurn-
stances and, after conceding that this
and that seemed to point to defend
ants guilt, closed by saying that ne
had reflected much on the case, and,
while it seemed probable that defend
ant was guilty, he was not sure and,
looking the jury straight In the face
said, "Are you?" The defendant was
acquitted, and afterward the real Grim
Inal was detected and punished. How
different would have been the conduct
Of many lawyers! Some would have
striven to lead the Judge into technical
errors with q view to an appeal to
higher court Others would have be-
come hoarse In denunciation Of Wit
uesses, decrying the lack Of positive
testimony and the marvellous virtue OF
O reasonable doubt. The simple,
way Of Lincoln. back
q by the confidence Of the jury, won.

Who will oppose Senator Lat
inner for the United States Senate
next summer: The Anderson
Inteliigencer set tongues to wag-
ging by a statement that ex.
Governor Hayward confded to a
friend that he would be in the
race, but the Governor modestly
disclaims having given ont any
such intimation. Governor Hey
ward is a shrewd politician, and
and a popular man, and should
he announce himselfa candidate,
those running for the office
would not let grass grow under
their feet. Senator Latimer
would probably cut his European
trip a little short, if convinced
that Hayward had entered the
race to be his successor. Hey
ward disclaims having intimated
he would be a candidate but ne
does not come out square and
say he will not be, and in jolly
ing the drummers and coddling
close up to them be demonstrates
the knowledge Of a good thing.
The travelling men OF the State
can do a wonderful amount of
good to a candidates cause. they
go everywhere, as rule, they
are intelligent men and good
takers. There is no doubt that
Hayward is favorite with the
travelling men and if he becomes
a candidate as we believe he will
he will have the strongest set of
workers of any candidate in the
field.
