cashier ef the company, gave mo a fen
figure*, and litre they a>e: The torn' ,
, amount en dopooit was $0,800 01, divided _
among 01 depositors, an overage of ?lUU.dl
fur each depositor. These deposits range
' from 92.00 up le $801.85. There was one
of over $2,400, but ae it did not represent r
entirely wages earned, I have omitted it. j
Of e< urse it would not bo proper to give
usmes, but the figures are aocurai* and as I
shown from the books of tho company. t
In sdnition to this, sovtral had bought ^
land with tfteir earnings and paid fhr if,
while othcra uga n were paying for laud.
A good many weie loaning money, and .Mr. c

much loaned cut ><y the operatives ns they ,
had eo deposit with the company. In fuel, (
he knew cf two men who had about $1,000

' liard it is fur farmers, who rent land to
make both ends moo', these figures ate in<
slrftciiee. How many tousiu farmers, in

endorsed But even in that, our
opinion is it vtll not bring much if esy
relief, of a permanent character at any rate,
to the mercantile and laboring classes of the
rural sections oILthe country. Money will
gravitate to tho great business centres, and
legislation cannot present it, for it is its
natural course, an4 }l> f few years thai
increase of curroncy will be foun-l concentrated
in the large business marts, increasing
the wealth of the wealthy, and making
hut little change in the condition of the
laboring poor.

is said tthat the largest piece r>t
in the world was recently taken out a(jo
North Carolina quarry. It measured ,
and a half by sixteen luchQS,
f ?ler by lynching nn innocent man, const?
cjuently, if Peterson was innocent, (the
testimony hns not proved hint guilty) it is
prohibit that the guilty man will never be
) brought to juHt'ce, unless he commits a
similar act in another community.
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. Fuot, giving his rens ns for
not wishing to ho considered a candidate
for the office of Intcudunt, under the announcement
made last week. I
We con ider Mr. Fant's reasons sound '
and democratic. ileietoforc tickets have '

doubtful methods ndopted to elect them. *
Under such ciicumstnnces the choice of the 1
people have act only not bvuu ouiuu1ai>??i.. .'
but made subservient to the interests of a ^
few individuals.

citizens at largo should take the matter of ?
nomiiiaing a Town Counyil into their owu v
hands ; and not only nominate, hut dof?r- '
mine to elect their nominees. We know of n
no special is?ue to be involved iu the com- '

the town. That, of course, Is, or should (

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*

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
