Courtesy at Home.

Good breeding like charity,
should begin at home. The day is
past when children used to rise
when their parents entered the
room where they were and stand
until they had received permission
to sit. But the mistake is now
made usually in the other direction
in allowing to small boys and girls
too much license to disturb the
peace of the household. We think
the best way to train children in
courtesy would be to observe toward
them scrupulous politeness. We
would go so far as to say that we
should make it as much a point to
listen to children without inter-
ruptig them and to answer them
sincerely and respectfully as if they
were grown up. And, indeed, many
of their wise, quaint sayings are
far better worth listening to than
the sterotyped commonplace of the
morning callers. Of course, to
allow uninterrupted chatter would
be to surrender the repose of the
household, but it is not very easy,
if children are themselves scrupul-
ously respected, to teach them in
turn scrupuously to respect the con-
venience of others and to know
when to talk and when to be silent.
If a child is brought up in the
constant exercise of courtesy to-
ward brothers and sisters and play
mates, as we'll as toward parents
and uncles and aunts, it will have
little left to learn as it grows older.
The best brought up family of
children we ever knew were educa-
ted on the principle of always
commencing them when it was
possible to do so, and letting 81
lence be the reproof of any
wrong doing which was not really
serious. We have heard the chill
dren of this household, when their
mother had failed to say any word
of commentator after some social
occasion, ask as anxiously as pos
sible, what was it, mama? |
know something was wrong.
Didn't we treat the other children
well, or were we too noisy?' In
that house reproof was never be-
slowed unsought only common
dation, of what ever it was possible
to commend, was gratnitous. We
think this system would be as good
for those grown up-children, the
husbands and wives, as for those
still in the nursery.

Parents keep your boys off the
street, especially after dark. You
know not what annoyance these lit
tie fellows are, besides they learn
all kinds of meanness, picking up
all the slang phrases uttered by
older BOYS who have forgotten the
prayers taught at their mother
knee when they, too, were innocent
little tots like your own boys now.
If you have nice beautiful yards,
allow your boys to play in them,
never scolding them for their mer-
ry laughter, for it's better far to
be annoyed at home than to have
them mixed up in an ugly affair on
the street of which you know moth

will keep your boys off the street,

Should DO Better.

The News and Courier Is very
fond of lectur:ng Tillmanites and
countrymen for not contributing
more freely to the National Demo-
cratic campaign fund. We are free
to admit that more money should
have been raised for the cause in
the towns and the country, than
has been raised, but The News and
| Courier is not in a position to lee
ture the balance of. the State outside
of Charleston for our shortcomings
in the matter. Comparatively speak
ing Charleston done almost nothing
in the matter of raising funds %
carry on the Democrats fight. The
News and Courier OF Saturday said
the fund in that city was nearing
the three hundred dollar mark. l..
not that & beggarly sum for a great
| commercial city like Charleston?
According to The News and Courier
the Charleston committee received
three additional contributions on
Friday. One from Mr.. Townsend
Mikel. Of Edsto Is!"nd, one from
. C0lonnl Thrower, OF ki!geville, AMI
one from SIR. The y. Jervey, who
had contributed twice before or
the three contributions named above.
TWO Of them are not residents of
Charleston. These contributions
swells the total raised in Charleston
to $296.S4, and The News and Cour-
! ier says "inasmuch as the list will
remain open all day Saturday, it is
probable that the $500 mark will be
crossed. This last chance Is given
to real Democrats. who want to be-
come real factors in electing a DEM
ocratic President Considering the
wealth of Charleston that city ought
to raise not less than two or three
thousand dollars for the cause of the
people. Judging her by her contri-
! buttons Charleston Is not very enthu-
siastic in the Democratic cause.

Missed tho Truth.

Hearst made the statement in
his papers recently that in. the 1896
campaign he had contributed one
dollar for every dollar contributed
by others to the Democratic fund.
He did not tell the literal truth.
lie promised that for every dollar
sent to the national committee H.
would give another. Bat when there
came III some contributions Of $500
and OF $1,000. he notIned the con-
tributors his purpose w&s Cnly fl
duplicate the small contributions, not
the large ones. Mr.. Willis J. Abbot,
who had charge OF tabulating thesn
contributions, says he was "directe
to write the editorial in which NJ
Hearst explained he could not, or
would not, carry. ont either the letter
or the spirit Of his proposition. NJ
one was more ready than he to give
a dollar out Of his multi1 millionaire
store to match dollar; none more
quickly stopped contributing when
any one else proffered thousand
dollars. This is mere history. AMI
it is up to Mr.. Hearst to specify
whether or not it Is accurate history
If he questions my recollections,
can refer him TO a certain editorial
in his own paper Hearst, OF
course. will not call on Mr.. Abbot for
his proof He does not mind taking
liberty with the truth at any time.

and villages on business or other
wise. Over one-half of the funds
collected by The Times and Democrat
and sent to headquarters was con-
tributed by people who live in the
country. All the towne people do not
contribute, neither does all the coun-
try people, but there are good manv
patriotic men in both country and
towns who have contributed and have
fully done their duty. Judging uJ'
the contributions from the city Of
Charleston The News and Courier
has no room to crticise any other
pas. Of the State. We are satisfied
that the business men and clerks
of that city have not hurt themselves

tions does not amount to three hur-
dred dollars. Before your own door

tee is sending out letter asking fol

declaration Is made that tine ele:
ton Of Judge Taft and James S
Sherman is essential to the We!fart
of the country" The letter is ol
interest by reason Of the character
of the men whose names appear
ON the letterhead, and who make this
appeal. Here are the men who sign
the letter informing the people OF
the country that Bryan's election will
be dangerous:
Charles F. Brooker. head Of the
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad, against which a gov
ernment suit is now pending in the
federal courts.
Charles Nagel. Of Missouri, one
of the general attorneys Of the Stan
dard Oil Company. This Standar

publican national campaign head
quarters in Chicago.
Frank o. Lowden. multimillionaire
son-in-law of the late George NJ
Pullman and now the head Of the
great Pullman Palace Car trust, tn
which the travelling public pay trib-
ute.
It. Coleman Dupont. the head of
the powder. trust, which is fighting
a suit against dissolution. ..
Boise Penrose, the political "boss
of the corrupt political machine in
Pennsylvania.
George r. Sheldon, the personal
representative Of j. Pierpont Nor
gan, in the capacity Of. director in al
AS trust companies, and who col
lected trust money for the election
of Governor Hughes of New York.
William Nelson Cromwell. the le'
gal representative of Edward H. Far-
riman, and probably the creates trust
lawyer in the United States.
Fred w. Upham, the "fat fryer"
for the Republican party in the west,
and the man who wrote letters to cor.
porations whose property he assess
ed by virtue Of his position as A
member of the board of review n
Chicago.
This Is fine outfit to advise the
farmers and business men in the west
how to vote. Two Of the signers are
heads of corporations. which are
fighting for their existance in the
courts. OF course these men think
Bryan's election dangerous; that is
natural when one becomes acquaint-
ed with their connections. But there
is not q legitimate business man in
the nation, small or large, who has
any reason to fear a Democratic vic
tory.
