"Christian men can not, and d ire not, sell intoxicating liquor to theii follow men anil claim to ho mem ber h of (* h r i h l'm kingdom. In tin light of Cod's word the claim will boar a lie on the face of it. Our dispensary politicians of thoSh> Hter variety aro not willing to let the majority of the people decide this question. Il matters not how large tho majority may be in any county against the dispensary,these Shysters claim illegality in the elec tion. They are trying to set aside the election In Chester Held because tho wot/ion sang and prayed near some of tho polling places. Mm who aro willing to debauch their neighbors with mean whiskey foi revenue will surpriso no one wh? n they roister their opposition to song and prayer."?Kev. W. II Kd wards of Chester in Columbia State. Succoss In Public School*. The following remarks from an exchango arc worthy of considera tion : Tho success of a school depends morn nnon the hearty co-operation of patrons with tho teachers th in any other one thing, when the teachers aro such as they should bo (and there is rarely to be found nn individual chosen by the people to such a responsible position an teacher whoso judgment can not he relied upon to always do what, in the right and just tiling by the child.) 'lherefoio the teacher should have the hearty co operati in of tho parent in his endeavor to do tho best for the child's education. If complaint is to lie made, it should in all cases bo made direct to tho teacher without the knowl edge of the child. Parents make n grPro mistako and one that tilings much trouble to both the teacher and the child when they complain of or faultlind the teacher t<i tho child or in his lieanng. Children often mistake and misrepresent the happenings of tlTe school room, and the wise parent will always inves tigate carefully any fitiuli report before giving it undue credence or making impulsive statements in re gard to the matter. A I'lcu For tlio Housewives. Advices from all" parts of the State show that the housewives aie face to face with the annual prob lem of deserted kitchens and wash tubs. A pitiful Mail, that borders on (Impair, must go up from an army of housewives every 3 ear, when tho cotton picking season is on, for it is then that Sarah and Jane haughtily turn from tho meni al service of kitchen and tub and respond to the "call of the field." We can hardly blame them for so doing, since there is more money in it and a change of scene, which ap peals to their natures, but must the housewives have no redress from this yearlv vexation? Mustshego on from year to year and submit to such unbusiness-like princi ples in her domestic arrangements? We bolieyo tho time has come for tho women of South Carolina to organize a "llousckeopeis Protec tive Association." Through or ganization they can form rules and regulations that will clTect the "ser vant problem" and we believe event ually regulate it. Such an organi sation^we believe, would accom " pli^fc a* much for the houaekeep sra at.the Farmer*' Union ha* ac complished for the farmer*.?Nine* V 81* SUr. (Jourl.
