Today in souIi Carolina are to be
found very few people who would
admit hat.sthey are unfrien3ly. to
popular education, and fewer s still
who would admit that they are not
friends 5fo our common schools. The
people of the State have just passed
through "a somewhat vigorous polit-
ical campaign In this, as in almost
every such, campaign, many Of the,
: candidates for Office have taken oc-
casion TO declare their deep interest
in the common schools. The candi-
date doth protest TOO much, me-
thinks" but most Of them are en-
tirely sincere In 4theif declarations.
Some Of these men will soon. occupy
positions which will enable them to
demonstrate their interest in our
schools, and their capacity for i'm
proving them. from the outside it
would seem that very few of these
men have made any careful analysis
ofethe conditions of our schools, and
certainly very few have oferedsauy

cation field broad and rich in vex-
atious questions. Perhaps, too, those
who have studied these problems, and
are familiar with the conditions, have
been remiss inenot telling the people
frankly what they see and know.
Fer fifteen years this writer taught
in the common schools of this State.
and for seventeen years he has tried
to study the conditions which, make
for good or for evil in the educational
system Of the State. During: the past
'twentyzsix months he has travelled
more than thirty thousand miles in
side the State, driven hundreds of
miles through the rural districts, and
visited not far from three hundred
schools in the State. He claims no
wider or richer knowledge OF, the con-
ditions than is possessed by scores
of his fellow workers. Yet he feels
that he knows something of those
conditions, and that he owes it to the
peopleato set these conditions frank
sly before them.

A Husbands Right Denied

Somewhere in the old English law is passage granting husband the right of whipping his wife, providing he does not use a whip Charger than his little finger. Ygnaciao Lopez has never read the old English law, so he used his fists; Justice Rawlings is not bound by the old English law, so he sent Ygnacio to jail for twenty days. The Mexican was brought to court under that charge which is particularly ex- ecrable to all Americans-wifeb beating He pleaded, in cxtenuation, that the wife would never cook for him, all though he had h;s cabin filei to over flowing with material for tortillas. ta. males, frijoles, chile con carne, and what not, but wher the wife. with an unlovely black eye. was put upon the stand. she testified that, barring all love for Ygnacio, the cravings of her stom- ach would make cooking an agreeable yea, a fascinating occupation, but that there was not thing to be cooked in the cabin. That was enough for the court, and Ygnacio went in for twen- ty days. where the cook will be beyond his reach.

 The same two teams will cross bats today and if the game is anything like yesterdays exhibition, it will certain. y be too good to miss.
 "Gene' Shute of the Stars pulled of a great running catch in center field. finished the game and tossed them over in his old time form. Hoff caught his usual steady game for the Regulars.

So far, it has been impossible to obtain the lineup, but there is reason to believe that the Safrord aggregation will be composed of some of tho best Morenci and Clifton players, and the new players of the Regulars will be fright handy to stop the visitors from walking off with tho big end of the gate money. It will be hot series of games, all right, and the valley folk are coming up in crowds on the excursion to root for their team, but then, of course, there are few rooters in Globe.
