THE PETITION SHOULD DE SIGNED. The fathers and mothers of the city arc making a mistake in neglecting to sign tho petition being circulated for tho submitting to a vote thc question of issuing bonds to thc amount of ?15,000 to build :in J equip the new school building on thc lot which has been bought for that purpose. If the failure to obtain the signatures of a sufficient number of freeholders up to this time is due to dissatisfaction with thc location of the lot, the trustees, who unquestionably have had and still have the best interests of all at heart, arc being badly treated and at the expense of the progresa of the children of thc town. These trustees were elected as the representatives of the people They aro from among thc leading citizens and they are hon eBt. They have selected thc lot with special reference to center of popu lation, after honestly considering thc advantages and disadvantages of many lots offered to them. This muoh of tho matter is settled and tho people should so regard it. Marry of us would have been better pleased with some other location, this writer among others, but thc decision of thc trustees outweighs individual opinion. The necessities for bringing this matter promptly to a vote are great. Tho central school, for example, was designed originally for u Bunting ca pacity of only 400. Tho enrollment of pupils has for somo timo been over COO, with an average attendance of 05 per cent. Every grade is orowded and Bovcral are divided into sections in order that they may bc taught. A visit to this school will develop tho fact that faithful aud efficient work is being done, but under n any difficul ties. Thc teachers aro forcing pro gress, moulding humanity, aidiug des tiny,but it is slow and laborious for both teachers and pupils. Tho parents should see that thero are fewer stones in tho roadway that leads to success, lt is well enough to bo activo in business, investing and accumulating, but there is a higher duty due our children than the mere accumulation of money for their benefit. If rich they may got through life, but what of humanity, of good, of harm in suoh a life without wisdom or knowl edge. There is but little honor in an inherited career. The iiitie tots and barefoot boys of today should bo given every opportunity possible, under the most favorable conditions possible, to rise by the aid of their brains, and taught that no power on earth can keep those down who want to bo an honor to themselves and an aid to humanity. Pleasant and healthful surroundings for children mean better brains and stronger bodies. No more satisfac tory returns should be wanted on dol lars invested than those Tho ohild best equipped with health and a good store of knowledge has the best chanco to win in life in any vocation. Riohes too often take wings. "How muoh botter is it to get wisdom than gold." To issue bonds /or this school build ing doos not mean a burdensome in crease of taxation. It means, at most, a reasonable advantage to the children to facilitate the training of their minds. They will pay tho bonds. One-half of ono mill additional tax to pay the interest and create a small sinking fund is all tho parents aro asked to pay. Tho training over tho children will bo well equipped tu take care of the bonds. Anderson should bo proud of her splendid public school system. It is not equalled by any in the State. Interest in these schools should be manifested by frequent visits by every parent and indeed hy every tax payer. This would enable them to see and appreciate the progress being made by their educators, and how they aro ham pered and how thc children are ham pered and their health menaced by orowded rooms. They would find in every grade an educator whoso qualifi cations and temperament fit him-or her-for the grade. They would bo brought to realize, too, that while in dustrial development and fertile soil are making Anderson famous, far more than all theso is the power of tho publie schools. - ? i mt ? mm - Sooretary Root's statement in a speech that granting the suifrng? to the negro had proven u great mistake has created a profound impression in tho North. The Savannah News says that tho expression of that sentiment was but the eoho of what tho people of that scotion of tho country had long been thinking about it. and this is doubtless true. Tho Southern States have done what they oan to undo this evil, and outsido of professional poli ticians their oourso no doubt meets with the approval of the oountry. Cyttoii has r-a-i.'-l ten cents*, and is still goiug up. It is somewhat strange that thu prL-o generally *.-?JUS up each year just at thc time the far mers are preparing to pitch their crop. Thc speculators must think thia a good plan to increase the acreage. The .Southern Field, the publication of the Southern Kailway, is doing a splendid work for thc South. To any one wishing to hettie down here it con tains more condensed information than any publication that wc know of. When you have a correspondent in quiring about the South, send to M. V. Hilliards, Land aud Industrial Agent, Southern Railway, Washing ton, 1). C., and ask him to mail thc party a copy of the Southern Field. - - - m mm -. The two hundredth anniversary of John Wesley, the founder of Metho dism, which has grown to bc one of the most powerful religious denomi nations in the world, will occur on the 17th of .June next. Already a move ment has begun in the Methodist Episcopal Church to celebrruc it with great religious pomp, and throughout this country and l'Europe the event will be made the occasion for a great religious awakening among the Metho dists. On that day services will be held and .sermons preached ill memory of this great reformer of tho seven teenth century, whoso name is revered and honored by evanpolical'Christiau denominations throughout thc world. In a dispatch from Knoxville, Tenn., dated Feb. l'Jth, wo lind that thc Southern Railway Company has rent ed offices in one of the largo office buildings in that city and has install ed a corps of engineers, who arc said to bc at work on the drawings, esti mates, surveys, etc., for the Rabun Gap extension ovor tho old Blue Ridge route. The line will, as now proposed, be built south from Maryville, Tenn., to which point tho Southern already has a line from Knoxville to tho Little Tennessee River, thenoo on through Rabun Gap in thc mountains to this city. Bushneii is a station on tho Murphy Rranch of tho Southern, which runs from Asheville to Murphy, N.C. The information comes from Wash ington that the Democratic members of Congress already arc deeply inter ested in the subject of a national plat form and a Presidential candidate for 11)0-4. Though the national conven tion will not be called into being for more than a year, the subject is dis cussed daily, and thc utmost confi dence is expressed that common ground will bo found for all Democrats to stand upon, and that the party will enter the noxt Presidential campaign united and with brighter prospeots of victory than bave been before it for tho past ten years. Many of tho lead ers of the Democratic party sro sot yet ready to commit themselves to the candidacy of any man for the Presidential Domination, but it is a fact well worthy of note that those who are willing to go on record almost without exception deolare for Judge Alton B. Parker, of New York. Many who are unwilling to openly declare for Parker express themselves private ly as favorable to his candidacy. Two Stalwart Members. Editor W. W. Ball, of the Laurens Advertiser, in an interesting letter to his naper from Columbia, under date of I' eb. 22, Bays : The lower house of tho General As sembly has two stalwart members, a little gray with years creeping on, who bolong to that last disappearing gen eration that may never be equalled for noble virtues perhaps and who bring to mind the proudest days of South Carolina. Ono of these is a Laurens man, native to the manner born and though he rep resents Anderson now Laurens has a right to be proud of him and is proud of him. His name is M. P. Tribblo, "Mit" Tribble his old friends call him. He was a soldier of gallantry, he was a Democrat when it cost most to be a Democrat, and ho is and has always been a man-every inch of him. It is alright to have young men in oftice young men sometimes are needed and the doors should not be closed to them -but it is to the high honor of Ander son that she has Bunt t Iiis fine, sterling specimen of a practical man with con victions, whom storms of war could not conquer to ropreaent her. Tho South Carolina government has a num ber of nice, comfortable little jobs to distributo from time to time which re quire honest men of common SCURO. lt seems to me tliat it wovid bo a right thing and a popular thi .g for a gover nor to do to look; carefully around for sueh men ns M. P. Tribblo when ap pointments ure to bo made-whether they solicit them or not. I do not say that men should be appointed merely because "they have been soldiers," but wheu men who have served the State nobly und faithfully and aro efficient, intelligent mon ns well, are available, they ought to have preference over the younger generation. The other, of tho paine type, is Cap tain J. ll. Brooks, of Greenwood Coun ty. He was a native of Edgeliold and lives now nt Cambridge, which was a part of Edgeileld before Greenwood County was carved out. Captain H rooka was a splendid soldier. He is a modest man but ho is a man who has bravely met all emergencies and whose value as a citizen has been proven time aud time again. In the House of Representatives are numbers of good men. bright men most of them young fellows and some of great promise-but to my mind tho pick and choice of the lot are these tried and true Carolinians, Tribblo, of Anderson, and Brooks of Greenwood (and I do not put one before the other) tho libre of whose manhood has boon so well and truly tested. Perhaps there are other? but I know these personally and from my childhood have known of them from those who know them long est and best and I ara glad of the op portunity to speak of them and tell thc people of my county that at least a few of the kind still live to bo appreciated and honored in Carolina.

THE people of Anderson County arc, as a rule, a most practicable and sensible people. They consider it the part of wisdom tc investigate well, not only the quantity but the quality, of the values they receive in exchange for their hard-earned money. They have learned that it is poor business policy to buy inferior Goods, even though the price is cheap. Their experience teaches them that so-called Cheap Gooda are in the long run extravagantly expensive. 1 This, in a measure, accounts for the gratifying growth of our business. They appreciate our efforts to give a hundred cents worth of value for every dollar, and we renew to them now our pledge that so long as they desire the beat Goods at honest prices, we shall exert ourselves to the utmost to give them values commensurate with their money.
