Bam* has become a quill driver. The first issue of his paper is to appear Jan. the 23rd. He has shown great good sense in namiid it the Commonier. He has sho*n far greater wisdon in choosing the county papers of the country as mediums of ad vertising. But his terms of ad vertising are like his silver-free. We are not in the business. ]!aZBY position of public hohor has its dishonor side. Young men stand competitive examina tions for scholarship and have their names publish'ed widely. The Eame papers convey their failures if any. West Point has just had its mid-winter shipping for deficiencies and two South Carolina boys return to their homes, Irla a dangerous thing for an editor to take any financial risks --the running of a newspaper is risky enough-but as for us we are gding to risk an extension of taxes next December. True the interest on a one-dollar poll tax editors don't pay other taxes for one or two months is a very small item, but then money saved as money made. We feel sure that-the legislators it1 indulging timennals will also indulge us.

I r. stead of employing the best tale er for loaders, the policy has be( i- in most instances to fill the p 0 sition with wholly ineonpetei . officers.

Superin tendents of successful experience in school work must fill the office. They must be chosen in a non political way. Their pay must also be commensurate with theiu responsibilities. Such men would prove a leaven to the whole lump The time is now ripe for posi tive and immediate action. The mambers of the General Assembly have the opportunity of a life time for effecting a grand for ward advance in our edneational system. Superintendent McMa han has spoken manfully and wisely. His words -should nol fall upon stony ground. THE NEWS AND HERALT's sug gestion that the jail be removed to a more private place has mel with approval by many. .The publicity of the location and the depreciation of near-by property are strong enough reasons foi this step to be taken. Two good additional reasons are worthy o~ the closest consideration. The first of these is the imper fect sanitation that must neces sarily exist on account of the un suitableness of the building foi the purpose for which it is used. The cramped quarters also in which the building is located do not admit of the proper sanitation on the outside. The purposes of a prison are effected oy confinement, and the subject ing of them to unnecessary pun ishment in the matter of health is wholly criminal on the part of the county. The danger also that may arise in the time of fire is a good rea son why the property should be located to itself. Should adjacen' property catch fire the prisoners would have to suffer the torture of anxiety.as to their safety, or they would have to be removed from the jail.- Should the latter be necessary, they would stand a fine chance of getting loose. All in all the argument is wholly in favor of sellhng the jail. The whole matter is referred to the grand jury for the earliest possible action. -Wionnboro will watch with inter eat the *utcome of the bill allowing Salada to issue bonds for ihe building of a railroad.
