Our Manly Training Of Girls.

Our training of girls approaches close
to the idiotic. The average girl, from
the minute she leaves her dolls to go
to the kindergarten till she matriculates
at college, is told about men and mems
work-never about women. The kinder
garten tales and songs are about Lincoln
and Washington-and even the pictures
of animals show the lion and forget the
lioness. In older childhood she is
taught to build sand forts instead of
good old fashioned mud pies, ard even
the sums in arithmetic dwell on "Billys"
marbles and Johns" apples to the total
neglect of sister,
Later still she goes to high school and
learns history with all it's ideals of brave
men-and here again the womans share
of quiet courage is completely over
shadowed She learns carpentering,
although she can not cook an egg or
sew seam. And finally, her education
finished, she knows all about the higher
mathematics and is short changed by
the butcher She learns political econ
omy, but doesn't know who are the
members of her own school board.
If your boy wanted to be a lawyer
and neighbor told you to put him to
work in a carpenter shop by way of
preparation, you would think your
neighbor crazy. But you do not con
slider yourself crazy when you train
your daughter, who is to be wife and
mother land nothing can get away from
grim statistics, that women do marry
despite economic independence, the
higher education, and all other argu-
ments in favor of co-education,) pre-
cisely as you train your son, who will
enter some profession or trade, there to
first earn his own living, and then to
provide for a family yet unborn. The
one to bear the family and to rear it,
the other to provide shelter and comfort
for the mother of that family, and yet
both trained precisely in the same way!

Through the Southern states no fruit
or nut tree is better adapted for geneaal
planting or more worthy of careful
cultivation than the pecan. 1t is to the
South what the apple is to the North
worthy of place in every fruit-garden,
on every lawn, and the most important
tree from the standpoint of the or
chardist. The pecan fits we'll into the
general farming of the regions to which
it is adapted. 1t must be planted
farther apart than other fruit trees,
leaving ample space for the cultivation
of general farm crops. These crops may
be grown advantageously, with benefit
to the trees, and will more than cover
the cost of maintenance, until they
commence to bear.-Jackson Bulletin.
A beautiful German story relates how
one day little girl. named Jeanette,
witnessed great army review Thous
ands upon thousands of spectators
crowded around the stand, before which
Cne emperor was W WdIcI tHe passing
regiments. While Jeanette was seated
in the stand, she saw an old, feeble
woman trying very hard to get where
she could see. The little German girl
said to herself: 1T is not right for me
to sit here, when / am strong and we'll

old woman can see nothing. l ought to
honor old age, as | want some one to

gave up her seat to the old woman, and
went and stood in the crowd But while
Jeanette was standing upon her tiptoes,
trying in vain to see, courtier of the
emperor, covered with gold lace, elbowed
his way to her side, as be said, Little

lie stressed III" liquor question
strongly. He said the six Wet coun-
ties could not dictate TO the 36 dry
counties. Local option On liquor, he
said, is an unsound proposition. He
denounced the sale of liquor.
On financial matters Mr.. Feather
stone next touched. He wants econ
omy. A raise in the assessments With
biennial sessions of the legislature
would prevent deficit.
F. H. Hyatt, the next speaker, while
he said he was the thoroughbred pro-
hibitionist, wished liquor kept out of
the campaign. He would have other
issues stressed. He told of his work
for the farmers-how he fought for
good roads, assisted in forming the
Southern Cotton association, and en-
couraging diversifcation farms.
"The sand-mud tax" Ae said, refer
ring to poor roads, "is the heaviest
in South Carolina" He urged good
roads.
Better Methods.
Mr.. Hyatt said better business
methods were needed in State Offices.
While it would be business sacrifice,
Mr.. Hyatt said, nevertheless he wished
to serve if the people want him.
Thos G. Mcleod, the next speaker,
opened with a plea for education
both higher and intermediate. His vote
on a tie in the senate, he said, passed
the high school bill, giving aid to
weak schools.
Agricultural education, he said,
should be given in rural schools.
Taxation, he said, is a difficult prob
lem. Equalization of taxes and taxing
of tax-dodgers are the best means of
remedy, he said
Though no advocate of whiskey
drinking or of whickey selling, said
Mr.. Mcleod, he favors local option.
Mr.. Mcleod said he would grant few
or many pardons, just as his consci-
ence dictated.~
John G. Richards, the next man
heard, announced that he was in fav-
or of Statewide prohibition, although
liquor is not the most important issue
of the campaign. He criticised one of
Mr.. Featherstotne's jokes as accusing
"our mothers" of being topers.
He said he has been elected to every
office he ever asked for.
He alone, he said, was real far
mer. Mr.. Hyatt, he declared, did his
farming on the fifth floor of the sky
scraper.
Mr.. Richards claimed credit for
much work in the interest of schools.
He also said much of his services
to the farmers.
Equalization of taxation was anoth-
er of his planks. He urges liberal
pensions for Confederate veterans.
Cole L. Blease spoke next. He said
be had waited two years to deny a
report that he was liquor house can
didate. This report he laid at the
door of Rev. J. L. Harley.
More and better common schools is
Mr.. Blease's educational slogan. He
opposes Statewide prohibition. He
claims that he will go into the second
