IIICIiliK EDUCATION. In establishing institutions of higher education South Carolina has acted in accordance with the Americm idea. Th-- South Carolina College was one of the pioneers of this grand idea and thp nthfr Sfaffi Onlle^es are bat an ex """ *?" ? C?' pansion of the same plan. Ilaxley's dream of a system leading f.om the primary grade to the University has been reached? Tee question why should the State supply meaus of education can be readily answered. A republican form of government must perpetua-e itself by requiring elections in which its citizen* choose 'servants to carry out the purpose for which that government was framed. Unless these ci'izens have not only the desii e to act rightly but the knowledge of what is right they may blunder greatly through their very conscientiousness. Religions persecutions actuated by most earnest and pious motives are a conspicuous instance of the manifestation of untutored conscience. Many years of horror -rere necessary to teach .that the only safe principle is religious toleration. To perpetuate true Republican government it is necessary to teach the principles underlying civil liberty and the art of ruling. The duty can be no mors- lef;. by the State to other hands than the J unction of judging the maintenance of the poor and insane, or the establishment of good ro^ds. It is i:l!e to attempt to draw any nxedline at which the State should cease t<. educate, or the pupil should begin to pay tuition. Any line of demarcation must be arbitrary. Those, theef< . \ vriio oppose higher education on principle must oppose the entire State ystern. England parsues a poiic. of "assisted"' schools, while the American idea is that the State maintains free educational institutions for her people as she maintain free highway, and free police protection, free speecn ana tree religion. An interesting fight, arising oat o f the theory that there ought to be a union of church and state, or in other words, interference with the church by the State, and with the State bv the, church is now going on in Canada. The Roman Catholic Church through her bishops has denounced the principle of public education, has commanded her communicants to boycott a newspaper that has antagonized her position, and has issued orders to support candidates who will endeavor to abolish State education. In this policy, the Roman Catholic Church is entirely consistent. In European countries it has always claimed exclusive control of education, and denied that the State has the right to tax Catholics for the support of State institutions. This, fortunately, is not the Protestant American idea, nor is it the i.lea entertained by many American Catholics. The special function of the Slate is to secure religions freedom, to teach the principle of religious tolerance. It must allow everv religious seel to establish its own educational institutions without let or hinderance, unless they antagonize the principles of civil liberty; but it cannot delegate io Church or individuals its own solemn duty to provide instruction for all the voiuh of the State. It welcomes all aid in this noble work, but it cannot sit idly by trusting to others to do its work. It follows that State institutions, whether primary, second-try, or collegiate, must be liberally maintained in order t"> supp.y thorough instrnc^ tion. They must be as cheap as possible to reach many citiz-ius as possible, so thai cC. jcation can be as widely diffused possible. To build and equip schools and college?, and then bar : heir loors by a protective educational tar.II would be strange inconsistency. Still more wonld it be bad policy. Should a class of evil minded "pluto- 1 crat*-?? -ch^-ne to secure absolute mas- , tery ov< r a people they could devise r.o teL-n- plan tuaa to make education a cosi'v uuru- ... The rich are already l.illaeiitial. tliem a monopoly of education, and in a short time al! office ' a::d all power would be vested io a 1 "Plutocracy'- with a vengeance. I I*, is true education coits moccy. But the Asylum costs more, and the 1 expenses of the courts sire more bur- ' densome still. Vv'e much prefer 10 1 live ii: a S:ate of Colleges than a State 1 of poor houses, penitcnti-ir'e* and ' asylums. 1 Oxk of orr correspondent* writes: "I would like to know if you allow correspondents the privilege of cn'.er irg the woul contest. Please let me i; know through the paper or o'.herwife. I think we should be entitled to a ( tiial/' THE PURPOSE OEA STATE COLLEGE. [ Piimary instruction is always of an inferior quality unless supplemented by facilities for higher education. Mill says that ignorance never creates a demand for knowledge, because it is unconscious of its defects. lie believes strongly in the let alone policy of government and opposes paternalism bitterly,. But he holds that there are exceptions to the rule that free competition always adjusts demand to the supply; and in an exceedingly Jucid passage argues for the necessity of State education both high and low. Ordinary minds are not creative. | Unless a music pupil nears a uuu former be cannot interpret the music of great composers. An ordinary neighborhood base ball team knows nothing of the science or skill to which that game can be brought; but alter witnessing the play of professionals it can vastly improve itself. Oue ra?>t see something better than he is capable of, in order to realize his imperfections. Otherwise the spirit of self sufficiency manifests itself, and he is in danger of impgining that he has reached the top, while re is s:ill on the lower levels. On the same principle schools are j improved when their patrons arc cultivated. Hie knowledge of what can be accomplished stimulates effort to secure something bitter than mere routine, and rule of thumb work. Colleges are the great arc lights of the intellectual world, casting their rays over broad areas while school- are the smaller incandescent lamps that supplement the task of illumination. Our fathers were happy in the possession of tallow candles until gas and petro'eum were brought into use, ana we were satisfied with these until the introduction of electricity compelled the invention of the "Welsbach light and the Sunburner. It may be said that the arc light has caused every household in the land, ^vhether in city or country, to improve its modes of illumination. So every college compells the primary school to make renewed efforts to introduce better methods. The Senate has killed the bill forbidding the use of cigarettes. It was doubtful if the bill would have had the effect desired. If a boy wishes to * ? " ^ A I j>moKe &I1Q cun pruuui c 4 uui^ twwvw and an old piece of paper ha can make bis own cigarette, and puff away in defiance of a twenty-five cent trx on the manufactured article. If cigarettes are to be smoked at all the prepared wrapper which is sold is much less deleterious than ordinary paper. It has been said that the manufactured cigarettes being adulterated with opium and other drag', are specially deleterious. This being the case it would have been wi-e to allow the importation of cigarctte paper so tiiat the smoker could make his own artininofffood naoer and pure tobacco, j - o ? A *. Moreover if one who has reacbcd the age of maturity desires to smoke syrettes it is his own business. The law should not ir.te fere wiih that right. The real object was to prevent the baneful habit of cigarette smoking by children. A law upon the statute book already prohibits.this, and if enforced, it would answer the purpose. Ci'y and town councils might pa-s stringent laws ordering policemen to arrest child smokers, and parents could easily discover whether their urchins aie cigarette fiends by the simple exercise of ihe s.;nse of smell. It will be remembered Hat Mr. Dick Swiveler dwelt at great length on the persistence with which tobacco smoke remained upon the person; and in stanced the case of a nainb2r or liton boys who Lud been detected by the odor of stale smoke in their hair notwithstanding they had taken the precaution to devour enormous quantities of apples. The ot dor is as persisier.t now as ever. It any child smokes it is the fault of its parent; at,d home discipline is the proper cure. In order, however, to assist in this much needed reform of the small boy we would suggest the appointment of a '-Town smeller," to go around with the town dog catcher and examine the breath and the pocket of the s-mall b >y. A small fine of 25 ctnts payable to the "smeller" would be sufficient incentive to him to detect violations of the law. The boy should then be turned over to his parent, with notice tha*, the fine will be doubled with every succeeding detection. Policemen spend much of theii time in the spring in "laving for"' the unwary "slingshotter" they m:ght also turn their eyes and nose towards uie cigarette "sujpc smoker. A law providing fur al! this would be an improvement on the proposed legislation. Tiik Greenville News, now edited by our friend W. \V. Ball, comes to us bright and sparkling. "Billy" Ball is a bright fellow, and of coarse the Xewa will be bright with "Billy" in charge. Toe Senate has refused to pass the House bill repealing the anti-free pass law. So much has been s;dd about the impropriety of our legislators accepting passes that a decided sentiment has been created against their use. The people condemu the practice, and the law should remain. The rules as published say that the participants must be "'bona fide subscribers''., and we do not think that a correspondent, to whom we send the paper free of charge, wou'd be considered as a sub-criber. It is true :hat by their communications we send ihe paper for value, but some of i ho regular subscribers might, with good! reasons, object to their entering the j contest. We regret to have to ex- j elude iliem, but a stiiet conduction of the rules excludes them. Had we thought of it at the time the rules were published, some provision would have been nvide for them. Before the j year is out, however, we hope to have ! i contest in which none but correspondents shall cuter. I)e patient, i correspondents, and your time will I, come. IIMIII I -r~ '-v Ix the death of the lion. J. Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, the Uni:ed States has lost one uf nor best citizens and the South one of her noblest exemplars. Mr. Tucker was a constitutional lawvrr of the greatest repute. la Coiisre;s he ,vas a tower of strength agains: encroachments by the Federal government. His addresses at one of the commencements of the South Caro!i:i Co ie^e, entitled ''The Old South an i the New'- will l.-ng be reinemb.red as a masterly exposition of the doctrincs or Jiii'.-r>o.i and Calhoun, and a paean ot tho triumphs and exeallei.e? of the Snnh of the ante bel urn time?. While accepting fully ali ihe results of the war, Mr. Tucker abated not owe jot of respect ami love for the old order of thing-:, u:d his address gave i-aa^e tu tho=e who were in danger of rushing oil' after the ; stiange g-nls of Plymouth Kock. lie , sleeps in a Virginia grave, bat Care-lina heart? grieve that lie is no more.

Quite a pleasant and brilliant social J affiir occurred at Ziou church 011 last Wednesday evening, the occasion being that cf the marriage of Mr. Edward Ilogan to Miss Ma'.lie, daughter of Mr. Uowell Davis, all of Zion neighborhood. The ccremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Winn, of this place. The church was taslilv deco rated ia wnite ar.u,evergreens. mree arches were Greeted, one in front of the cbancel rail, under which the young couple stood as they took the vows which made thrm man and wife, and one in each aisle through which the attendants parsed. The bridesmaids were cir.d in dainty white gowns of clinging material. The groum?men appeared !o advantage in sober black, with white kid gloves. Friends a:ad relatives j >in in wishing ilie happy pair a long and prosperous life. The Methodists will give a concert on Friday evening, February 2Gth, which bids fair to be a wry brilliant occurrence.

Inclement as was the weather on last evening still a merry? merry crowd of the gallant bea:~: a.id fair belles of L mgtown assembled at the ever hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. R. C.

Games of various kinds were th; order oi the evening, followed by the opening of the numerous valentine? by the efficient manager, Miss Hallie McCormick, and her assistant. They were generally very amusing and ridiculous, as valentines usually are. After this were more games, interspersed with delightful vocal and in strumemal music by Miss McCormicK [ 011 the piano. Wc cared not for the pouring rain without, as all was bright with smiles within. What can be better? As the small hours drew near, we dispersed in the rain to our respective abodes, much indebted to our young host and hostesses, Cadet R. C.
