OG'Lvie, Assistant Editor ^ * Entered at the Post Offloe at Lexington, 8. 0., as second class matter. .< i CIRCULATION 2,300. t 1 The day is not far off when Lexington will be fijled with Oolambia folk who will build homes here. fc-V . x 4 ===== "Politiciars gets their innings when they can stir up antagonism i wmong the people, the only way to -- keep a good government^ is to keep in * good temper and a charitable frame of mind toward yonr neighbor." ?: Keep an eye on John L. MoLanrin. He will yet again land in the United . States Senate as 8enator from South Carolina. He is a good, clear statesman, broad minded and clearheaded. The state needs the services <ot snob a man and the State will demand that service sooner or later. . Isn't the proper name of Main street, Columbia*' Richardson street?" wo named for John Peter Richardson, <mia of the earlv Governors of the - ? ? -? - State when Colombia was in the wood?. Oar recollection is that the street received its name of Main only through the courtesy of custom. A reference to the archives of the city will show, we believe, that we are correct. An exchange truthfully remarks: **The man who excnses himself to promote by money or time some wise project for the improvement of his <4to?e town ia one of that large cla? whose indifference and selfishness have been the means of killing the i prosperity of many a place. When / one considers the interests of his : home town he will not attempt to > -shirk responsibilities or refuse to lend ahelping hand, but will do what is : fair and sensible make it a more prosperous place and a better place in which to lire." Compulsory Education. We aee it stated that the gentleman from Cherokee proposes to introduce in the Senate a compulsory educational hill and proposes to use his best efforts to bar* it enacted into law. We trust | that his efforts will be uosucesssnl and that the Legislature will reject the i 'measure, for, while in the abstract : ft beam upon its face the mark of beiing a good thing, jet in the con ere r, it bus all the elements of being the must pernicious proposition laid before -the Legislature in years. ? ? ? ? a il: ;i It fTOBia, znaeea, oe a k<jw miuik 15 every white child within the border* *of the State coald receive the benefits , of i common school education at' least The spirit of the times demands this of the parent, and if he tslls to see that the child doe*.tot receive the advantages of the common schools provided by tb? pub$10'he does an irreparable * jury to the child and criminally neglects an important duty that he owes the State -*ad~8ocsety, for both of these recognises the trneism that ignorance is the hot bed of vice and corruption and lowers the standard of citizenship and -both are straining all their energies I ?? ?1-_ ?V.

We favor tue education of the ~ mnittrir in ev< ry coi ceiveable way except on-, and that one is compulsory education, We oppose tbis ; plan because belive the theory impractical aud an a* onistio to onr Republican institutions.

Then if we had a law upon the statute books ^compelling the children of the State between certain ages to attend school a given nnmber of months the during year, and making it encumbent npon the parents to see that they do so, then, not only the white children of the State, bet i he negr? children also will h ve to atv sd.ool for under the Constitutio f l .?

Hence the enactment of a compulsory educational law would disrupt farm work, destroy the usefulness of a good laborer and prove harmful to the negro himself. The Recitals. A very large audience attended the mn&ical recital of Mies May Lois Boozer clais and Miss Ruth Efird's expression class is the High 8chool auditorium last Friday evening and the members of the two classes did honor to themselves and their gifted and painstaking instructresses. The andienoe was highly delighted with the evenings entertainment and made known their appreciation by a liberal applause thronghout the programme. Both Misses Boozer and Efird are to be congratulated on having brought their Classes to each a high state of proficiency. The following is the evening's programme. After the recitals were over delicious refreshments were served by the ladies of the school improvement society and quite a neat little sum was added to the treasury of the society. And thus ended one of the most delightful and enjoyable entertainments of the season. PART I. 1 TTrx vrrifVt fVin T?1 OCT Poofl Tnvlnr i* up n * ui vmu x 105 ^ V0** and Chorus. 2.
