INTERESTING FACTS,

The following from the Anderson
Daily Mail is interesting: !sa5,A
eff Mr.. Iughes should be elected
president he will be the first Baptist
to occupy that office" declared Mr..
J. W. Quattlebaum. 'tIt is a Pres
byterian elder against a Baptist dea-
con. Mr.. Hughes is q leader in the
Northern Baptist church, once hav-
ing been president Of the conven-
ton of the Northern church,
"Most of the early presidents. Of
the United States were communicates
of the Episcopal church, but Of late
most Of them have been members Of
the Methodist church," continued Mr.
Quattlebaum.
"a Baptist has never been elected
president. The nearest the country
has ever come to electing a Baptist
was when Lincoln was elected. Lin

was inclined to that church. But he,

an appropriation for a library. spend
the money on the public school IL
brary where it will do the greatest
good? We hope so.
And, inconclusion, let us say there
is nothing the individual can put in
tho home or in the room, whose very
presence is so much of an inspiration
as a good book, unless it is two good
books. Every home should have
them. The children should grow up
with them as companions-one upon
the pillow makes sleep sweeter and
more refreshing. But they must
be loved for what is in them, and not
for the "gilt" on the outside.

A MONUMENT TO ANDREW.

Andrew Carnegie is willing to build
a monument to his illustrious self in
Abbeville, provided the City Council
will give him lot to build it on, and
will contribute the further SUM Of
seven hundred and fifty dollars per
annum as an inducement to the peo-
pie of the city to 60 around and ad-
mire the monument and love Andrew:
But we think the City Council will
hardly "fall" for this memorial to
Andrew. In the first place, any
agreement to give any amount OF
money for a period of years is in the
nature of q bonded indebtedness,
which council can make only on q
petition of the free-holders and a
vote Of the people Of the city.
In the second place, an appropria-
ton Of seven hundred and fifty dol
lars for one year will buy more
books worth reading than any man,
woman, or child in Abbeville has read
lin life time, with possibly a half
dozen exceptions. Why then seek
to tax this town for century and a
day to pay, not for books to be read,
but to perpetuate Andrews memory,
and keep flowers on his grave.
In the third place, we assert that
book which person buys to read,
and, therefore, reads, is worth a car
load of books, which perhaps some of
Andrews frineds have for sale to sin
nocent libraries" and which are
bought and paid for by the public,
and which rest dust-covered maybe
in the monument.
Lastly, we had rather have a
smaller library in more inaccessible
quarters, the result of the efforts OF
the good women of the city than a
monument to "Booker Washington,
himself" or Terrible Ted even.
The public library Of the town
should be in the school building, and
the books made thereby accessible to
the children. The books should be
carefully selected and read by the
children under the direction Of the
teachers of the High School.
Will Andrew contribute to this?
No; there is no self glory in it. This
would be only for the public good.

MANNING, NOT THE MAN.

Several months ago, soon after
Governor Manning assumed the Office
Of Governor, the editor Of this pa
Per, who had not supported him, ex-
cept as q second choice, took pleas
rre in commencing his work in Char
Isston in ridding that city of blind
tigers, and predicting that il. he car
ried on the good work, Manning
would win the support Of the people.
We have not done so before, but
we now declare our firm conviction
that Manning did the right thing in
the Asylum matter. There are times
when the constitution must yield to
the calls of humanity. When Gov
ernor Manning undertook to wipe
out the intolerable conditions which
existed at the Asylum for so many
years, he deserved the support of
every right thinking man. That
some mistakes have been made as
to matter OF details, we have no
doubt. No human act is perfectly
done, but official acts must be meas.
ured by the intentions and the gen
eral result, and so measuring the
Asylum appointments and proceed.
ings, we are of the opinion that in
that matter Manning sought to do 9
statesman's job.
But Governor Manning in this
matter did not receive the plaudits
Of the people, and that in our judg-
ment, is where he fell. He was
more. anxious to- succeed himself as
Governor of the state, and builG up
a political machine than he was will
ing to unselfsh1y serve the interests
dE the: state. ana On that account
