The Election of Prluclpal of the Graded School. Muob baa been Raid, and a dlverity of opin- , lou has been expressed, in reference to the re cent election of Principal of tbe Abbeville 1 Graded School. Tbe trustees of tbe school no doabt acted j conscientiously in tbe election of tbe prlncl* y pal, and tbey were no doubt more tban Justl- j fled in afterward declining to acoept Mr. Gilliam's resignation. No fault can properly be foand witb tbe action of tbe trustees until it can be sbown tbat a better man tban Mr. Gilliam bad presented himself tor tbe plaoe. If no such man ap- ; plied for tbe position, there can certainly be no Joat oenaore of tbe board, bat in tbelr actios tbey deserve tbe well done of tbe people. Tbe presumption of good faith Is In tbelr favor. If, however, a better man tban Mr. Ullilam did apply, atill no fault oonld be found with tbe trustees If such faot was not made apparent to them. Mr. Qllliam Is a stranger amongst us, and must stand or fall upon bis own merits. He has no kindred to boost blm, and he has no political influenoe to belp blm. Tbe trustees, therefore, bad nothing to consider, except bis merit. Mr. Uilllam Is a gentleman to whom, as snoh, we have beard not the slightest objectlon. But we have beard of'objeotlon to tbe school management from those who may have become kickers. ? We have In former times thought that tbe trustees did not properly sustain tbe teacher In the conduct of the school, but we are informed that at tbe reoent meeting of tbe trustees, a resolution was unanimously adopted^ pledging tbe unqualified sopport of tbe true* j tees to tbe teacher In tbe management of tbe t school for tbe coming year. This being true, [ any oanse of friction may be easily removed. , Because of tbe gentleness of bis nature, Mr. * Qllliam may have been too lenient, but If be J will In the fatare dismiss obstreperous eobol- | ars the school will be as orderly as oould be desired, and Abbeville's good school would be her greatest pride. The publlo school Is maintained at public expense, and the usefulness of the teacher, and the good results of the school, should not be Impaired or Injured, because of anybody's bad boy, or anybody's son who may fall to observe the rules of the school, and who, when reprimanded, may choose to be Impudent to the teacher. Those oblldren wbo have not been taught to behave at home -1 should not be allowed to disturb the school wbere their presence and tbelr evil Influence may injure better behaved scholars, and detract from the usefulness of the school. The better children deserve protection from asso- , elation with those who misbehave. Tbe trustees should not only endorse the teaober, but they should require him todlsmlss Impudent or unruly oblldren; and the teaober should require idle children to learn their lessons. It the teacher will require from the children a proper respect, or will expel unruly < oblldren, tbe whole town will respeot and up- ] hold a good school. But what shall be said of ( teachers and trustees that permit lnsubordl nation on tbe part of oblldren and allow tbemaelyee to be subjected to lnanlt from tbe oblldren, or the parents of such children? Let tbe trustees sustain tbe teacher In enforcing order and decorum, even to tbe ex* 5 tent, If necessary, of sbuttlng tbe doors of tbe school. i Tbe school Is a place where deoorum, gentle- * manly conduct and good manners are to be ] taught and observed. If obstreperous boys should appear In their daises, and If they should be too old or too big to be whipped, tbey have arrived at exactly tbe right age to be dismissed from tbe scboo'. j Personally, this editor does not believe tbat teachers sbould whip children. When oblldren are disposed to be disturbers of tbe scbool tbey should be Bent home. The certain dismissal would have a more deterrent ? effect tb&n the use of the rod. Foreign Missions. Last wttkwe published a very Interesting article on the snbject of ' Foreign Missions," to wbloh Mr. Roche makes a forceful reply iui? weoi. \ We are not going to get mixed up In a * question as to tbe merits or demerits of the ? Catholic religion. However, tbe Idea of oon- s verting a Catbollo to tbe Proteatant faltb or 8 Inducing a Jew to embraoe tbe Christian religion, reminds us of a question that was dlacusaed at a debating aoclety, namely: "Is It right to oheat a lawyer?" After bearing able argument on both aides, tbe preaidlng officer decided that "It is right; bat you can't do It." It Is In like manner perfectly rlgbt to convert the Catbollo and the Jew to our way of thinking, "But yon can't do It." ( We have seen tbe statement that since tbe days of Abraham, Isaao,and Jacob, no Pollsb Jew baa ever gone back on bis rellgloua ' laltb. Theae people to this day obsorve tbe J old ceremonials and are as loyal to their faith as tbey were tbousands of years ago. A Catbollo Is about aa liable to be atruok by lightning as be Is to embraoe tbe Proteatant form of religions belief. And, nnllke being strnck by lightning, one experience at obange of religion la not very effective. As far aa our information goec we are led to think It a bard Job to Interfere with tbe religion of a Jew or a Catbollo. But, If''Foreign Missions" In Mexico means tbe conversion of those who are living In ignoranoe of our 8avlour, then tbe work may rccult In great good. We favor Missions In Mexico, rather than In other lands. Mexico It onr neighbor, and, she like the. lamb that muddled tbe stream and Insulted tbe wolf, Mexico may muddy tbe stream for Uncle Ham. Hundreds of millions of American dollars are now exploiting Mexico. And Americans are likely to be found In oom. pany with tbelr money. In tbe ooursr of time tbe American Eagle will swoop down on Mexico. It will then be repaid for expenses of Foreign Missions in that land. Work of the Reaper.

God gives us always strength and sense enough for what He wants us to do ; if we either tire ourselves or puzzle oureelves, it is our own fault. And we may always be sure, whatever we are doing, that we caunot be pleasiug Him if we are not happy ourselves.
