Summary of Laws as to Registration. Tho importance of the registration of voter* to participate in tho general State elections judging from the small number of registered persons in each community does not seem to be fully realized. This year those who are in terested in the tut uro of tho South are urging qualified voters to register, and it is hoped that there will be a general compliance. In order that .all may knew when they can register and what the require ments are a representative of tho State yesterday asked Assistant Attorney General Guntet1 to prepare the follow ing summary of the laws on the sub- j ject of registration: "The registration books must bo opened for tho registration of electors entitled to registration on the first Monday in each month at tho Court House, until 80 days before the general election, when they shall be closed un til after the election. "In cities and towns of over 500 in habitants the Supervisors of Registra tion shall open the books of registra tion' for one meeting at such time as may be designated by the board after two weeks1 notice, posted in such town or city, at which meeting shall be reg istered such qualified electors of the county as may present themselves. "Persons becoming of age during the 30 days prior to the general election, during which the books are closed, may be registered by applying before the books are closed, if otherwise quali fied. The registration books are like wise closed 80 days before any special election. "All persons registered on or before January 1, 1808, shall remain during life qualified electors, unless after wards they become disqualified by the constitution for committing crime, etc. Persons moving from one county to another may have their registration certificates changed to the county to which they have moved as soon as it is determined that they wu' duly reg istered in the county from which,they moved. "Every male citizen of the State and of the United States, 21 years and up wards, who shall have been a resident of the State for two years, in the coun ty one year, in the poling precinct at which he offers to vote tour months before any election, and shall have paid, six months before any election, any poll tax due, and who can both read and write any section of the con stitution submitted by the registration orlicors, or can show that he owns and has paid all taxes collectible during the previous year on property in the State assessed at 300,1 or more, shall be en titled to registration. "Of course persons convicted of cer tain crimes, such as burglary, arson, ndultery, wife beating, breach of trust, forgery, larceny, etc., are ineligible for registration. "Persons holding a registration cer tificate are entitled^ to vote upon proof of the payment of all taxes, including poll tax, assessed against him, and col lectible during the previous year." PRIMARY REGISTRATION. In order to vote in the Democratic primaries, in doing which the majority of tho voters think they have done their fall duty as citizens, the require ments for voting are very simple. Tho constitution of tho Democratic party on this subject says: "At the election only Democratic white voters who have been residents of tho State 13 months and the county 00 days pre ceding the next general election, and such negroes as voted the Democratic ticket in 1870, and as have voted the Democratic ticket contint'ously since, to be shown by the certificate of ten white Democratic voters, who will pledge themsel ves to support the nomi I nees of such elections, may vot?; Pro 1 vided, That no porson shall be allowed to vote except his name bo enrolled on the particular club list at which he ; offers to vote at least five day* before the first election. Each clnb shall have I a separate polling place for primary elections. The club rolls of the party shall constitute the registry list and ! shall be open to inspection by any I member of the party, and the election ' under this clause shall bo held and regulated under the act of the general assembly of this Stai), approved De cember 22, 1888. and any subsequent acta of the legislature of this Stated Columbia State. VUliUJ Closing Exercises of the Piedmont School. in Piedmont, S- C, is no indifferent sec ion of the county when speaking of thoracter, and to permit to pass oy, tnnoticed, our closing school exercises, vould be an unpnrdonablo wrong. On Friday, 30th inst., tho large school oom and Lnionllall contained to their 'ullest capacity the children, parents ind friends of the school who gathered o witness tho exercices. On the rostrum Col. Jas. L. Orr uaintained tho honor of tho "Father ?f the People"?pardon tho invention >f tho tribute. The homage, however, s not invented as the fact proclaimed, tvhich gloomed in sparkling pride throughout bis audience, while tho Col. addressed the parents and children on fundamental principles in childhood education. Complimentary to tho Col. un tho stage wore: County-Superin tendent Nicholson; Supt. of Education for Greenville County, James P. Davis: Mr. Parker, an educated and cultured gentleman, connected, wo were in- I formed, with mills in Greenville nud 1 Greers; Rev. Stokes, of tho Methodist Church, Mr. Duff Sloan. Dr. J. H. Donald, each of whom, with credit to hicibelf, and much honest compliment to tho children, highly entertained tho audience. The children very happily were man ly and womanly: it was surprising how, with thoir few social opportuni ties tho little ones horo themselves with such self-conscious ellicioncy. Not onlv tho littlo ones, but tho larger ones, who, more unfortunately for the gift, aro too often surfeited with a hindering consciousness, they were enabled to drop tho mantle of sensi tiveness and procoed to thoir declama tion with the steadiness, precision und exec?tlveness of a superintendent to his mill. Wo could see tho Colonel's eyos glis ten with pleasure as these young men and young women proceeded and de parted with such prompt regularity and finesse of accomplishment. No 1 halting, no humoring, no mumbling. : Certainly the practiced eye of n master i student mind beheld in them tho j valuable material for invaluable service | in the future. .Speaking of their pro- ! liciency, later the Col. said: "I have j rarely seen in any school or college tho : satisfactory training manifested by | these children of tho Piedmont1 schools.'" Tho Col. dilated on tho ne cessity of education, and heavily scored those parents who during tho year neg lcdote thoir children's opportunities. Said he: "Never before has South Carolina had necessity for education us she has now. Constantly moving on ward in progress nnd tho mills con ducting this progress. More spindles in operation than in any Suite in tho Union, except Massachusetts; more of tho improved, or Draper looms, hero than in all New England together Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con necticut; these States combined, hav ing 21,000, and South Carolina 20,000 of the new looms. Educated men and women will be required in these milts. None others will succeed." The Col. said a man trying to get along without education wns handi capped; ho only knew what his eyes taught him; ho was walking between two high fences which shut out the world. His reading, his intelligent conversation could bring him no knowl edge; he had to depend upon his eyes and tho narrow little intellectual space AN AR1S1 ARRA A Poor Man Good quality considered m LOWER than any other Store.

Tho Col. informed his people, by the ietimony of the superintendents and mimissionors, that the teachers in iedmont were among the best in tho aunty, and longer hours of education ere given children?0 hours a day and ) mouths in the year?ho would, him alf, ho said, rather leave the educa ion thnt might bo obtained iu that ime un to twelve years of ago as a gift 9 his child than the gift of $10,000. Truly tho Col. is a great patrou and rieod of education at Piedmont, and his was appreciated by tho parents nd children and visitors to thoBchool. Vo hope tho little ones will do well; hoy have enoournging prospects of nind, body and opportunities. Wo ould not help, while witnessing their iuccesses that day, recalling tho line? ?f tho gifted Irish orator, Philips, when ipeaking of the children of the poor: "How often,'said ho, "have I thought vithin that little circle there may exist lomo mind formed of tho finest mould md wrought for immortality, a soul ?Welling with the energiesaud stamped with the patent of the Deity, which, inder proper culture, might perhaps bless, adorn, immortalize, or ennoble smpires. Some Clncinnatus, in whoBo breast the destinies of a nation may lie ilormaut: some Milton 'pregnant with celestial lire;' some Currau, who may ntnnd the landmark of his country's, genius, rearing himself a mental pyra- ' mid in the solitude of time." Maya destiny as great, or perhaps more useful in this our owu country and in tho South, be in storo for these chil dren and awaiting them now with edu cated minds and hands ready to grasp the opportunity.
