Especially is the sadnesj impressive when ignorance and supc rsitiou walks hand in hand orer oar land with niter want, huuger and dire wretchedness. The hope of th3 country is in the youth of the land. The hope of civilization rests upon the shoulders of the young man, and the hope of society and parity upon the vouug woman. Realizing this fact, is it not appalling to see the readiness of the law to lay burdens, grievous to bs born, up">n the youth that has not yet reached the years of discretion? ^'The law is exactnig in its demand?, and is no respecter of person?." This may be the true theory, but is far from the practice. Although the law is supposed to recognize neither cla^s nor cast, it is a fact beyond dispu:e that the privileges of the rich are greater by far thau the rights of ihe poor. It may be equally assert*d with truth, that the intelligent have thrown about them the cloak of pro<?A^Ar? Ko ionrtronf oro trnnn/^ in sickening: sheets of tnpersiition and mockery. "Bat," ore may ask, "what a;e we to do with the young criminals?" The old adage runs, "A fool may ask questions that seven wise men cannot .answer," and wc aright take that adage as oar cloaks o defence and hiding behind it allow the law to beep iu the same old ruts, lagging far behind the ever hightening and broadening demands of society's humane spirit; but we choose rather to make soma feeble effort for a solution. Then, we would suggest a bouse of correction. 1)0 we astonish the natives by that phrase, ''House of Cor rection?" Indeed we may suppose we do, and not only these, bat tbe law-makers themselves! We are afraid the old spirit of brutal correcting with the lash and stock is still abroad in our land. Recent observations have forced U3 to this conclusion. Tnere is nothing so false as the old theory of showing the ill effects of sin in all their heinionsness and blackness to bring forth purity and goodness. The world's experience has been that the best way to put down vice and crime is to raise the standards of purity and goodness. We can no longer expect humanity to be bettered by emblazing upon the public mind the degredatioo3 of crime. Especially is this true or the young. Tha youth must leara and be tanght virtue, aud must love truth and virtue for Ifceir own sake. If ws take the youth, nav, the child who has cot reached the age of discretion and allow the law to take hold of it aad brand it as a criminal before we teach it the rudimentary principles of truth, virtue and honest}, we are greatly at fault. Not many days ago, we saw a small lad of the tender age of ten years being led a prisoner to the public works of the county. Fathers, mothers, you who havetha "milk of human kindness" in your breasts, is this the proper correction lor crime iu auy ul its phazes? Bat above all things else, is it a correction for uniawfally carrying away a small sack ef flour? "Who of the intelligent and wealthy are able to tell what temptation is in the pangs of hanger? Who even of the poorer class can measare the dire distress of a boy who?e daily sabsistance is only snch fruits of the land a? this climate will permit? Back of all this, who can conceive of the utier ignorance that is treading over the graves of its murdered victims here in our own fair land? Is there any man responsible? Yes, dome one is responsible. First of all, the father aud the mother are responsible?responsible-not for the ignoranca and want, for these are I beyond their control?they themselves ! were conceived ia sia and begotten in iniquity?but they are responsible, and they alone, for the child. But we will not discuss this question, a? it take3 Q3 into the field of ccouotnics, and in its final solution is as answer to all questions of communism, collectivei3m, profit sharing" and labor unions. We will accept the facts as they are, and lay the charge where it should be laid?at ths law-makers' feet. No law is good and no country is safe when it allows cnnareu wno nave not arriyeu i at years of discretion to be put upon j the public works and branded as criminals ! Take such a youth and put ?ucb a stigma upon him and you absolutely rob him of all the powers for usefulness that God himself has given him. Felbw-countrymen, we appeal to you to see to it that your law-makers protect the youth of the lantf, no matter what their class, cast or race may be, for there is iu ihat youth immortal souls, made for the glorification of God and not for the honor oc the devil! Even though it be wrapped in J a skin as black as bell itself, tnere is a soul, and there are possibilities which God alone can estimate! Even though it be a negro boy that was Id J away, who is able to tell bat that some day y?u daughters and fair sister?, alight have beea able to rise up and Vless him! Bat rob him of al! hop*, ??f all ambition, of all aspiration by h .Hiding him as a criminal, at theea :/ age of ten, and yoa have forever taken away whatever possibilities there may have been for good, and thrown npou society a piece of cteiftwood to add to its burdens, and increase its ignorance, depredation and supersition; to black- j en deeper, is more living colors, its list of criminals. Missionaries, we call u;;ji\ou to save the youth of the land from such early, uDjast and unjustifiable punish ments. Let charity be begaa at Inme, let the living example of goodness and truth, of mauhood and Chris!i*n integrity be held np before the youth, and instilled into them at an early age, and bring about such condition? as that a hou3e of correction may be an absolute necessity making itself felt upon civilization and society?if for no other consideration.than from a dollar and cents basis. THE WAB NOT OVEK. The Chinese war has served one good purpose. It has exposed the deceitfuhiesa of the administration, which has tried to impress upon the American people that the war in the Philippines is over. It has been re-, peatedlv proclaimed that the war was practically ended and that only a few lawless ban is 'catered over 'he is'ands were carrying on any warfare; in last it has not been dignified with the name of a war. Now when General Miles purposes that forces should he withdrawn from the Philippines to meet the pressing need for them in China, the trnth comes out and the peace bubble. The adminntration has been 60 eager to persuade the country thit the war was over, that Gen. 0ti3 himself, a great proclaimer of peace, was ordered home. He came home a conquer.ng hero, but somehow the war still goes on. The need for troops iu China and the suggestion that the Philippine troops be sent there has partly brought out the real state of tbiogs in the island?. The'news comes that "more soldiers is the demand" all over the islands, and the prediction of Gen. Lawtou that 100,000 troops would be needed is now recognized as a reality. It seams that a great mistake has been made as to the number of troops necessary for mere garrisou duty and the news now comes thai the presput force now in the Philippines "is not large enough to garrison more than half the important town?." Hard work, iu tbe opinion of the American commanders, is inevitable. The question naturally suggested is what and when is the end of this war? What will it cost, not only in money, but in lives, and how will it affect tho American people? Unquestionably the administration has tried to keep the na.inlft in th? dark as ro the real c r-~ ? - state of affairs in the islands, and if this is really irm, then it won'.d be very unsafe, if n?t disas'rjus to our institutions, to keep Mr. McKinley and his party in power. It hns been charged Ui3t we are rapidly moving towards an empire, a*id that snch movement was not a mere sequence of circumstance, bat a d-iliberate and well organized plan by iho*e who have gone wild over European ideas. In oiher words, there are those who firmly believe that a scheme has been formed to subvert the very theory of our government, to undermine the fundamental principles of the Republic, to nullify the constitution, and to establish to all practical purpose au empire The sudden outbreak of the socalled rebellion in the Philippines, tbe policy of administration towards the islauds, its policy towards Porto Rico, its theory that Congress can govern oar newly acquired territory outside of the constitution and that the constitution does not follow tbe flag, and the evident purpose to maintain a large standing a any, are among the things that cast suspicion and give credence to the alleged coim>;racy. Whether or not there is any deliberattd conspiracy there may be great doub', but the tendencies are lull of danger and no liberty-loving citizen can afford to vote for McKinley and Roosevelt. The issue is the Republic against the Empire, and against militarism always a terror and menace to tbf freedom and liberty of the citizen. T - ear's election will partly settle whc ;.er we shall be citizens or subjects, it v\il settle whether we shall go into ths colonial system of Europe. If McKinley shall be elected, he will control his election info an endorsement of his course and his imperialism. With this implicit endorsement, the Republican party will go to lengths not now dreamed of by mauy thoughtless people We firmiy believe that the election of McKinley and Ro >sevelt will be first steps towards the end of the Republic. OUR XEW RAILROAD. \,f /\ > 4 U An ?tl i 1 r? a ttt a rrti At/>a e? I UL'aiillJ >Y C prospects of soon having a new railroad. Railroads are public necessities, and mean 'public prosperity. With a new road as an outlet and an inlet as well, for us to get advantage of competing .rates and gef some little advantage of the little towns that surround VVinnsboro and sap the life blood out of her, we will soon be agt?in in the commercial world and breathing the sweet pure air of prosperity. In every report of the S:ate campaign we notice that Mr. Capers seeir? to lay great stress on the fact that Superintendent McMahan has named a flag at Winthrop College for a Yankee soldier. We think Mr. Capers would better display his wisdom to tell this to President McKinley, as the people of South Carolina are after a man who can best solve the school problem, and not especially concerned *? t _? z- r\ ?T7~ wun nis aoimy 10 name vre would likr to see some criticism of Mr. McMaban's official record, and of what be is capable of doing for ihe thousands of boys aud girls in the State who are hungering after knowledge. Mr. McMahan is a Fairfield bov, and we hope that Mr. Capers will tell us something of his official record when he comes to Winnsboro. "Alter suffering: trom severe dyspepsia over twelve jears and using many i remedies without permanent good I finally took Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It did me so mnch good I recommend it 1 to everyone," writes J. E. Watkins, c**\A 11 iAnfKa \f A Wicirw auu *uv. i It digests what yon eat, McMaster Co.? UNCALLED FOR, We are very sorry that the occar rence of Thursday could not have been prevented. Of course every true man j toiII nrnfpftf. irtnr* anrl fth&stitv at the I cost cf his own life, bnt wben it comes to espousing the cause of one who is a sti anger, and abont whom there are rumors that make truth to be a liar and virtue a jest, we nmt exercise some caution. All the more is it necessary for our good law-abiding citizens of Winnsboro to exercise caution and judgment in a case where the party has been beLre the justice of the peace and found without an accuser. After one appears before the courts of the land, and is dismissed for lack of evidence against him. then he is free under tie civil law, and has the right of protection of that law, and he who disregards this right is guilty of a breach of the paaee ana a violation of (he dignity of the State. We do not wish to espouse the cause of tbe negro, fur if he is guilty of the charge bis neck ought to break. Cut it is highly necessary for us to know that he is guiliy, or we make examples of ourselves in making an example of the negro. We are indeed sorry that the citizens of Winnsboro had to rise in rebellion to the law to espouse tbe cause of a Yankee who had refused to do the proper thing himself. A true man will not ask the public to interfere in a case like the recent one, but will do the necessary thing himself. If it is not in his power to protect and viudicite, thea it is time for the public to espouse bis causc, but not until then, and especially sh)u!d peaceo nrl lihort tr.lntri nor nAinlfl nrP. aS"U1U6 '4WW. KJ I serve tbemselv- s from rash acts after the next of blocd has refused to interfere. Lynching is one of the necessary evils in administering justice in peculiar cases, but we think it ought to be more clearly shown than it was in this case. The maxim of civil law, "lie who seeki equity must equity, and coim into court with clean hand*," is eternally linked with the Divine Law, and it therefore necessitates the preservance of the law in order to sccure the protection of it. With good seasons now and a fair price for cotton this f ill, the fanners of Fairfield will a^ain be able to stand on their and stand without being bitche). We are giad to see that they have gone to raising hog and hominy at bom?. It was our good pleasure to dine at the country home of one of the most prosperous farmers in the county not lon^ since, and upon the board, which wa; sumptiouslv spread there was nothing except ?alr and pepper which was not made at homo. The theory of icss cotton and more of everything eUe is quite contrary to the b2-it economic authorities, but in the present condition of the farmers there seems in other solution. Wheat and oats were jjood this past season, and corn and cotton wherever worked is exceptionally good for the time of the year. BASE BALL. VFlnnsboro Defeats Lowryville?19 to C.
