While being opposed to lynching, oti general principles, we are far from condemning these who re=ort to it for n nameless crime, but we must he satisfied that tho party lynched is the guilty party. We shall always think, and we believe nine-tentbs of thus? who have read the testimony given to the public through the | papers ? which Senator Msyficld told the Governor was correct?will think with us, I that there was no direct evidence from competent witnesses to convict Petersen, while the circumstantial evidence was as strong against five or six other negroes as they were against him. We have no sympathy with the intempelanguage a d conduct at tho "in,dope much harm and ne gecd, only furt.ivhing rapitnl for political shysters and demagagogues. Governor Tdlman committed a groat b'under?not a crime, such as lias been charged against him?in sending Peterson to the Denmark mob, but bath he and hie friends arc committing Equally as groat a blunder in treating tho who o unfortunate affair with so much fl ppancy and attempting to shift tho burden of responsib.il ty to where it does not belong. They appear to forget that it was through Governor Tillman's blunder the infuriated crowd at Denmark s'amped a black mark upen the Slate's fair name, by lynching John Petersen for n crime which the evidence given to the w rid, from the lips of the young lady assaulted anl her brother, plainly says he was not guilty of. It dees seem to us that a sense of moral responsibil ty should impel the Chief Executive of the State to net with dignity in the matter, and ne t treat the investigation of such n serious affair with levity, and a "joke" may have transcended t^ie UVuinls of proper respect for himself and his high posi'ion, by intemperate language in a public meeting. - ? Prepare for the Kleotlon. We call special attention to the card of Mr. John A.

What was the J.' age of each ? ,r Practical Education- ' [' To the fond pa-cnt who'e boy has p-afcsed tl his elementary schooling, the question of '?* practical education is a momentous one, and j' a few suggestions, based oh reminiscences Ci of some ot the writer's struggles and ''stum- cc bling-bb cks" in life's battle, will, no deubt, interest the paternal reader. At the outset, the principnl consideration is the mf parent's own social position in life and. l|is ar desire to finally sec the son at least ns micee?srull as he has been. The educational course for nny boy should bo p'anncd on these lines. The more rerta'n a boy is to be obliged in the future to create his own is to Ti^ l?mn~?ny comparatively sfrtmg* ^ business or financial po-ltion, the more 91( thoroughly shOM'd he perfect lijs mind in pt the h'ghcr and more theoretical branches, wl iji course tins a general rule and cannot be Wl followed abs lately, ns there arc many ex- R!1 ceptions. so There are boys cui out, o" cnivse, to he Presidents and Senators, but it is pretty good adtice, I think, to keep this littlo idea out of your boy's head, for if there is other nt than ordinary ability In him It W'U derelop like spontaneous combustion, and you won't ^ bare to do much planning for him. The p, higher a man's education is carried the lie more susceptible la his mind to that which w: is ideal and unworldly, and therefore less , to fitted for money making ; hence a man who C) aspires to knowledge of this kind should be to a man of means. A careful examination of a list of twenty J" millioniares showed that only one of them had a college education. The essential lit characteristics of a business man are so dif* - " * be it is a rare thing to see a wealthy man highly educated. Of course wo occasionally see < wealth and a high degree of education combined, but eeen in these cases the know- P?1 ledge has beon gained by oontact with olb<>r 1 men of learning and with the wor'd. coi The suggestion I would ofTer is tliat all ''?? yeung men, when starting in life, shire to wj' get that knowledge with which they can p;s gain wealth, which, after all, is tho princi- nicl pal thing we litre for. The tendency now-a- cea lays to teach boys geology, botany, rhetoric jniiosophy, and the like, before they can be i ipell with absolute correctness, or before had hey have mattered arithmetic, the mest ton. mporiunt elementary study, is nonsense.
