than the stream Of consciousness or

g PIRITUALISM is as old as the
~ world AS far back as we can
go we find the personal survival
after death a fixed belief. In fact,
it is during only a comparatively
short period and among a corl-
paratively insignificant number of
humans that the personal survival
after death is doubted Spiritualists
claim that after this period of dark
ness, due to the infancy of science
we will emerge into a time when
survival after death will have bean
as completely proved as other
scientific theories.
All religions, and especially
Christianity, teach survival after
death. Many human instincts tend to
belief in life after death, and,
therefore, asks the man of to-day:
What right has science to over
ride my religion and my instinct?'
To such questions science has hith-
erto always found a more or less
convincing answer

The first thing that our new city
council should do is to arrange for
the making of our opera house into a
modern and up to date play house.
Turn the entire down stairs into the
opera house and move the Offices up
stairs, and do away with the store
under the building. Then it could be
so arranged that in case there was a
fire the house could be emptied with
out jeopardizing the lives of the
people who might be in there. And
besides a sufficient stage could be
arranged and the whole thing would
be easy of access. Possibly by CIV
ing Manager Wells long lease he
might be willing to make the i'm
provements for the benefit of his
moving picture business, and the
town would not be out any money at
the time being.
And the markets should be torn
down and modern guard house that
would be fit even to put criminal in
could be erected on that end of the
property. And the mayors office
and the recorders court and the
treasurer's office could be put in this
new building. 1t is a disgrace and a
shame on the city to put even a GRIM
inal in the present guard house quar-
ters. The cells are not only not
comfortable but they are absolutely
unsanitary.

LET ERSKINE REMAIN.

There has been some discussion IN
some Of the papers over the sugges-
ton of Hon. William P. Greene,
editor of the Abbeville Press and
Banner, to remove Erskine college
from Due West to Abbeville, and
the proposition of Mr.. Greene that
Abbeville would put up S25O,O0O to
secure the college for that town.
Editor McKissick says it would be
a fs".' calamity to even entertain
for moment the thought CT s-ch c,
terrible profane thing as taking the
college form the quaint old town OF
Due West, and refuses to think even
of the suggestion. Editor Hemphlll
of the Spartanburg Journal himself
a Seceder and an alumnus of the
college does not approve the PROPOSE
ton either, but suggests if they are
going to think of moving the college
why not go to Greenwood or Spar
tanburg. And Editor Watson Of the
Greenwood Index-Journal Of course
approves the suggestion of \ Editor
Hemnhill if the college is to be moved
shat Greenwood is the very place for
it.
Well, all these gentlemen write
we'll and present their views in a
very entertaining manner, and Editor
Greene answers all of them in fine
style, but we can not help but agree
with Editor McKissick that even the
thought of moving Erskine college is
almost to think profane. There is no
Better community for college than
he good old town of Due West, and
the very fact that it IS quiet and
away from the busy whirr of indus
try is the biggest point in its favor.
