Depew Comes out Againts
Crum.
Special to The Observer.
Washington, Feb. 5.?The
Senate committee on commerce
for the second time |>ostponecl action
today on the Crum case...The
matter was considered some time
in executivo session. % The dis
cussiou developed the fact that
five Republican Senators were
ready to join the Democrats in
scotching the Southern nogro policv
of the ndminintrfttinn Krienda
of the colored aspirant therefore
assented willingly when a motion
was made to adjourn without taking
a vote. While the discussion
was held behind closed doors, it
is know* that Senator Hanna urged
the negro's confirmation, but
the words of the powerful liepublican
leader proved unavailing.
Senator Depew has last
landed on the Bide of the Charlestonians
ind so expressed himself
in the committee room.
There has been much conjecture
recently regarding the attitude
of Sonator McLaurin toward
this prospective appointment.
The junior Sonator from the Palmetto
State is opposed to Crum,
and it is known that he has for
several days been making (his op
position felt in a quiet but effective
way.

Dispensary Bills.
Senator Hood introduces Three
Of Importance.
Columbia Record.
Senator Hood has introduced
three bills in the senate having
reference to the dispensary. None
of them have yet been acted on by
the dispensary committee.
One bill is to appoint a com
mittee to investigate the management
of the dispensary and pro
ides for five members, three of
the house and two ot senate. The
committee is to hold sessions during
the year, is to seal its report
io the governor who shall trans
mit it to the next general assembly.
Another hill providos that the
membership of the hoard shall be
seven members instead of three.
They shall give a bond of $10,000
and their terms shall be for
two years. They shall receive
the same per diem as members of
the legislature and not more than
for a hundred days.
The third bill strikes out the
proviso in the present law which
reads: ''Provided, further that
nothing herein contuined shall
prevent said directors of the dispensary
from making with dis
tillers in this state contracts for
the purchase of liquors manufactured
by them within this state.
In explanation of the amendment
Senator Hood says ho un?
derslands that dispensary directors
construe this proviso as meaning
that tho liichlnnd distillery is
excepted from the general provisions
of the law whereby contracts
for purchasos must be mado to
tbe lowest responsible bidder and
thut the Richland company gets a
higher price for its g?od9 than it
otherwise would. Senator Hood
calls attention in this connection
to an article recently written by
Mr. J. B. Doutbit in which he
claimed that tbo Richland distillery
got a higher price for is goods
than other distillers.

Charleston, Feb. 5. ? Dispen- \
sary Constable Georgo Caulfield j
will be prosecuted by Sottile .
Brothers, whoso horse he shot
last night in endeavoring to stop
, the wagon which was supposed to ^
I be carrying liquor. The warrant ^
for the constable was to have been I ,
I o
I issued today, but Sottile Brothers I
deferred doing so until tomorrow. I ^
They have engaged an attorney c
und will prosecute the case vigor- ^
ously. No liquor was found ia ^
the wagon wheu the animal was ( .
brought down. Caulfield tired ^
two shots, one of which narrowly
I J c
' missed a man who was coming up ^
the street. The promiscuous ^
, shooting is generally condemned.
- E
The constables on the other hand
t
say that they aro forced to oper- ^
ate under great, difficulty on account
#f tho illicit dealers driving .
fast horses and making easy es ^
capes, and they plead this in justification
for Caulfield using his
weapon when the driver of the
wagon refused to hold up-the
horse when ordered. Chief Howie ?
says that he will investigate the
case. Caulfield was not arrested.
e
He put the pistol back in his t
pocket and walked away after the
shooting.

[For The Ledger, v
Tho Teacher and the Parent.
q
lo a previous paper we have ^
po^en of the importance of cdu.
ation and what is it's aim, that ^
i its results it should l?e humanitic,
nationalistic and spiritualis. ^
e, strengthening and clarifying ^
ae spiritual vision so that ono ^
lay catch through the dim un
nown a glimpse of the divinely
uman truth, and may finally he
shered into the enjoyment of its ^
ternal and infinite bliss.
Some one has said that Educaion,
as a whole is as a mighty
nd powerful stream, rushing on *
o that shoreless uud fathomless
cean?Eternit).
The family, the school, tho soial
circle, tho pulpit and the ^
>ress are oach and all, but tributary
streams, whoso waters will ^
mite and exert an influence salu
ary or otherwise upou tho main
hannel. If the waters of one of ^
hose streams be neglected or pol
uted it will require tho combined ^
md long continued efforts of the *
jest and most efficient to prevent
ho general, if not the universal
iontannnation of the stream I
onnaence that binds all hearts
nto the sacred and blissful unity
if the family, all, have their lastncr
influence on t.he education of
he child. God has endowed the
other with such love for offpring
that she will sacrifice anyhing
for its interest. So we
teed not ask for more zeal on her
art hut for a better directed zeal,
t seems to me that it is time so
ieiy was coming to her assistance
n the establishment of schools for
raining in the all important art
if rearing children. But since
re have no such- schools at preent
that are accessible to the
;reat majority of parents we as
eachers should claim at least th6
operation and sympathy of parnts.
Let the two streams come
ogether and the flow will be easier
>nd the force and power greatly
.ccelerated. Let every parent
nake this the rule of bis life; 1
vill be to mv o?V?of t
? ... , tt ui*v jl nuuiu
<
lave his teacher be to him. While ^
'ou may not have had the trainng
and hence are not able to do _
vhat the teacher does yet you have
te reason to complain unlets you
re daily striving to do as you j
rould have the teacher do. Does '
lot this thought accord with the
golden Rule? When this rule 1
its been carried out io the lives
?f teachers and public great reults
will have been accomplished.
Haying spoken in a general way 1
>f '.he relationship that should ex- 1
st between parents and teacher |
Jlow me in a plain familiur man- (
mr call your attention to a few I
mrticulars in which your cordial '
:o-operation will greatly aid the
eacher in accomplishing the remits
you so much desire. '
1. You should aid in securing
he constant and reasonuhle atendance
of your children. 1
If children are allowed to be
bsent for insufficient reason they
re, virtually, taught to look up*
n thoir school and its duties as of
[Uite secondary importance. They
./ I
lave helped to form. How imlortant
then is our subject, for
ho management and guidance of j
hose streams depend largely on j
ho parent und tbe teacher. As
10 much has been said through
? (
Educational Papers, Teachers In.
ititutes, etc., to impress unon the
r A I "
eacher the responsibility of his
)osition 1 think it well that we
peak largely of that tributary to
ife stream which has its source
n the home.
1 need not remind you that
iducation has its beginning in the
tome. The first look of the
other, the words of approval or
lisapproval spoken by the father,
he family chat around evening r
[reside, the parental love and
rill fall behind thtir clnssmates
ii their studies mil perhaps uc
|uire an actual <)islike fur school.
)f necessity, most of the instruct
ion in^lurgc schools must bo given
o whole classes. Tho absentee
as forever lust what the class
luased over on theTTay of his ab^
enco and some principle necessary
j the further pursuit < f that atu[y.
Such pupils often thiuk they
re justified in playing truant und
/ho can picture the awful conscience
that might result from this
houghl? 1 wonder if parents
ver think that by their ke< ping
hildren out of school they are
lossibly sowing the seeds of crime
ufficient to eternally dam the
ouls of their offspring?
What has been said of the ab
entee might likewiso be said of
he pupil who is tardy.
Remember whatever habit the
>oy contracts now will most likey
follow bim tbrougb life.
2. If you find tbat the teacher
las erred in any way or that your
children have been neglected it is
four duty to say nothing to any)ne
until you have gone to the
teacher in the spirit of kindness
ind had a full understanding.
3. Encourage your children
;o respect and obey the requirements
of the teacher; to be ordery
and studiously to regard right.
Manifest an interest in their
itudies even though you canpot
lireclly aid them.
4Improve every convenient
occasion, in visiting the school.
Space will not allow me to sufficiently
urge this request. But.
he thoughtful parent will at once
see that unless some one besides
he teacher manifests interest in
he school the pupils will soon
086 interest and think that no one
cares lor their progress except the
eacher, and that he cares, because
t is in the way of his business.
Lry this and you will soon see a
lecided improvement in the work
>f the children.
5. Confer with the teacher ofeu
that you may get in line with
;he teachers piuns.
Exchange views as to plans of
lirecting the habits of children.
Be candid and {charitable toward
;he teaoher He may err, and so
nay you. Remember there may
le two sides to every question and
;hat "A soft answer turneth away
vratb."
In conclusion 1 would remind
eoth teacher and parent of the
lebt they owe to the coming generation;
that God, in his infinite
visdom, places ilia children in
be world not as men and women
Dut as babes that we may have
he responsibility of directing
heir growth. Slight this rejponsibility
and we must suffer
.he wrath and justice of Him who
created us.
It is not the will of your Father
which is in Heaven that one of
.hese little ones should perish."
