IV V VUIIVVUU j y nj#i II mmy ww? The Chamber of Commerce, Colombia, suggests a plan for the development of the trucking and fruit growing industries around that city, which is a capital idea and one that will not only prove of great benefit to the business of Columbia, but is near enough to our people, who are so located as to receive benefit from the movement, and should join in the enterprise. Our people grow largely vegetables and fruits of all kinds and Columbia is their main market. The j plan is to establish a large canning factory in the city, and to get all of the farmers in ibe territory aroacd Onlnmkia in tho t-Qiairinr n? VUiuiuuta aw www w* track and fruit. Tbc idea is a good one. "The people have already expressed themselves on the dispensary IV question in a number of counties, and in the approaching campaign it seems tbey will again have an opportunity to send men to the legislature who will enact such a law on the subject as they demand. If the dispensary question i? to be the main issue before tbe Democratic voters in South Carolina this jear let it come, and 1st it be settled forever."? Anderson Iotelligencer Yes, and let tbe vote be taken in separate boxes at ev3ry poll. Tbe > State and county executive committees can arrange this, and yon will then get the direct voice of the people. It is of no little importance and we trust all concerned will insist on this plan. By a vote of 202 to 26 the house of representatives has passed the national quarantine bill. The bill placeB Iihe control of ail quarantine stations, i grounds and anchorages under the secretary of the treasury and diiects that as Boon as praticable after the approval of the act be shall select and design at such suitable places for them and establish at such points on or near the 6eacoast of the Mexican border as in his judgment are best suited for tbe same in order to prevent the introduction of yellow fever into tbe United States. Tbe State says Columbia has made tbe move toward securing the Seaboard Air Line's general offices, &c. From a geographical standpoint, it is said, Colombia is the ideal place for the location of these offices and shops, inasmuch as it is near the centre of the Seaboard's system. We would r be glad for the move to prove successful, for what is good for Columbia is good for Lexington. And when we get the trolly, Columbia will surely gain a feeder from our side, carrying a better trade into ibe city than any road going into tbat place. Sural Schools. "At the foundation of every successful school system lies tbe practical problem of physical equipment in boases, furniture and grounds. What, then, should be the character of these public school houses where the business of educating nine oat of tea of the State's children for citizenship, and social service is carried 00? It has to do with the mind, the soul, and the body. It forms habit, shapes character and creates ideals Shall our school bouses be a hovel or a home, a place of beauty or a place of ugliness, a place of cleanliness or a place of uncleanlioesb?" It is hoped that all teachers and public spirited men and women will band themselves together for the purpose of building better school bouses, improving the old ones, decorating the interiors and beautifying tka n*ann/)o nnfil T.avinntnn nnnnto bUC P^IVUUUO UUUti JUCAJUgVVU VVUUilJ shall stand in tbe front ranks of the coanties noted for good schools.
