Charleston Waking Up.

The announcement that the Chamber
of Commerce Of Charleston proposes TO
raise $40, 900 annually for three years
in order that it may do more effective
work is pleasing information to the up
per part OF the stete. For reasons
which need not be stated here, Charles
ton has never filed the place CONNER
cially which she Should. Fer deep wa
ter and location en- the Atlantic coast
should make her a stronger rival OF
leading northern ports in the matter OF
exports and imports. Let US hope that
she will yet come into her rowr.
II deciding to spend much OF the
money to be raised in exploiting the
city's advantages, the Chamber OF
Commerce has acted wisely. Charles
ton must wake up and take on new life
if she is to reap her full share Of bene-
fit from the Panama canal. The re-
cent announcement that two large su-
gar refineries with combined capital
of 5000, 900 are soon to be established
in that city shows that menof large
means have their eyes upon Charles
ton.
The opening of railway connection
with the central west and the conteIl-
plated direct connection with the vast
coalfelds OF Virginia greatly add to
Charleston's commercial Importance.
The Panama canal can be made to mean
more to Charleston than cny other
American city, if her business men
will only seize and improve the many
advantages that follow its coming.
The people of upper Carolina have an
abiding interest in Charleston and re-
ioice that future so full Of promise
lies before her.

An Educated Womanhood.

Owing to the fact that millions of
Individual sovereigns of this country
are soon to WELD the sceptre at the
ballot box, much is being heard from
the forum and read upon the printed
page concerning an educated, enlight-
ened citizenship. This is. well. The
safety of our institutions and the bull
wsrk of American liberty is the free
and independent thought of the indi-
vidual citizen. which can not exist
where dense ignorance prevails. In
stressing the idea of an educated citi-
zenship, let US not forget to include
our women as we'll as our men, our
girls as we'll as our oys.
At one time, not many years ago, Ell
ther, there was popular belief or
conviction abroad that the girl in the
home needed only superEciei educa-
tion, and that money spent upon a
thorough education for her was wan
ton waste. 1t portends well for the
future that this popular fallacy has
been 9issipsted. The editor of The
Advertiser is not alone in the belief
that if the education of either, the girl
or the boy, must be neglected, the boy
and not the girl should receive the
"smattering."
Napoleon once asked this question of
an intelligent lady Of the French court,
"What is wanting in order that the
youth of France may be well educa-
ted?" The terse, yet meaningful, re-
ply was, "Good mothers. ;" The great
est need, the underlying need, not
alone of France but of every country,
particularly Republic, is good moth
ers. But in order for woman to make
a good mother in the fullest, truest
sense, she must be'educated.
If instead of having the lines fall to
her in pleasant places, by becoming the
queen of a happy home, the daughter
be 'forced by fate' to go out in
cold, competitive world to earn her liv-
ing, the need for thorough education
will be more imperative. In this day
of greed and gold, the fittest survive,
which mems that the uneducated girl
must give way to her educated COM
petitor, and accept some humber, less
remunerative, employment.
These reflections have been suggested
by the large number of young ladies
who are receiving diplomas from the
female colleges throughout the stare,
Winthrop alone issuing 11S. The fact
that South Carolina has ten large fe-
male colleges, with two other buildings,
should be source of congratulation and
rejoicing to those who have at heart the
future well being of society and of the
State. Give South Carolina an educa-
ted womanhood and the Ship of the
State will be reasonably safe in spite
of the rawlings and rantings Of the
demagogues who play upon the credu-
lity and ignorance of large per cent
of the men who WELD the ballot.

1t is proposed that two more first
class battlesbips be added to our fight
ing force on the water. Would it Lot
be well to make it two score instead of
only two? If Col. Roosevelt is the

rider policy, this country is liable
to become involved in a serious war
with one or more OF the powers at any
time.

county who can consistently do SO,
TO meet me at Edgeiitl,l on tie

ing there) l will there and then

There is nc candidate whose in

My aim is to aid our people as
far as l can III effecting and bring
ing about some changes in our
county and state laws and govern
ment looking to the building up of
our country and our homes. This
is the burning need of the hour.
Conservation of the resources of
our country and the material well
fare of our people must take rank
over men and special interest.
It's by agitation we purge the
country of The wrongs and purify
or remove the stagnant and by dill
gent search only we discover the
remedies. BY persistent efforts We
promote progress and the rigid ad-
ministration oflaw is our only hope
in suppressiug crime. When these
interests are neglected the whole
country suffers. The consequences
are, that the people will ask reform
in spirit Of vengeance in an up
hpaval.
Now l hope the people will look
forward and so arrange their do
mestic duties at home that they may
come and take part in enjoyment of
the day without loss. Bring your
families. and let's have good and
enjoyable day. 1t is not my inten-
ton to make all the noise. | hope
