Short but interesting Memori al exercises were held last Sun day afternoon at .ve o'clock, in the court house yard. There was quite a large audience of in terested and patriotic citizens.: Rev. C. W. Boyd of the Episco pal church offered a beautiful prayer, and Rev. J. B. Traywick of the Methodist church made a short and appropriate address which was very greatly enjoyed y er.ybody as well as the old so ers. to whom the remines 'enses were all so familiar.

The primary system in States where there is practienliy only one party has reached the pinna cle of absurdity i n South Caro lina. It may be doubted if there is any other State in the Unmon which has fallen so low in its political ideals or presents so 'iserable a spectacle in political practice. The primary is a sub stitute for the regular election, vet it reeks with fraud. South Car-olinian~s do not deny it. Un less- they are in poltics they ad mtt'Charleston. a city of about 30.000 white people. offers an enr.ollment of about 10.000 white voters. There is at least one fraudulent name on the lists for every legitimate name. The purchase of votes has become a hab it. 1 he respectable elements have let the situation get away: from them. South Carolina is getting by. "direct action'' as bad govern mnent as ever existed in America in an ostensible democracy. An -other primary is to be held~ in August. The State prepares for it knowing tniat fraud will per meate it. It is enough, as Sen ator Tillman once wrote, to* make him despair of the ability to govern themselves. it may be that South Carolina in her plight is entitled to the pity of good AmeriPans. but the fact remains that she is in little better condition politically with the negroes disfranchised than she was mn the darkest as or the Reconstruction period. It may surprise Philadelphians to know that in another State there is corruption andi debauchery far worse than that which charact erized the local machine in its paimies: days. But South Caro lina is too busy recounting the glories of her past history to do anything to save herself from the miserable estate into which she ha faller. The Last Lyceum. Mr. and Mrs. Winters enter ained and appreciative audience a the Thespian Hall last Monday vening at the last Lyceum num er of the season. Mr. Winters 3 an unusually talented reader, nd a novel one as well, for he -ives none of the old cut and ried readings and sketcher that re generally expected. His rogram was thoroughly origin and therefore doubly enjoyed. ie held the audience's attention very second of the time, wheth r with comedy or pathos. Mrs. Vinters, soprano and whistler, :as none the less enjoyed. Vhen she whistled all those ird calls and trills, one almost anted to look round for the umerous little feathered song ters. Every one of the fine Lyceum umbers were refined, attractive nP entertaining. It is to be incerelv hoped that we will ave another course next Season. Wdie School to Close.
