While being opposed to lynching, oq general principles, we are fir from condemning these who re'ort to it for a nameless crime, but we must be satisfied that the parly lynched is the guilty parly. We shall nlwnys think, nnd we believe nine-tentbs of tlioss who havo read the testimony given to the public through the papers?which SoDaior Msyfield told the Governor was correct?will think with us, that there was no direct evidence from coini-elenl. witnesses In rnn?im !>??<?. .?? the circumstantial evidence was as strong against five or six other negroes as they were against him. .We have no sympathy with the intemperate, language and ocnduct at tho "in,dope. much harm and tie gecd, only ifun,i:hing rspitol for political shysters and demagagogues. Governor Tillman committed a groat b'under?not a crime, such as has been charged against hitn?in sending Peterson to the Denmark mob, but both he and liis frit nds arc committing equally av great a blunder in treating tho who o unfortunate affair with so much fl ppancy and attempting to shift the burden of respopsihjl 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 State's fair name, by lynching John Petersen for a crime which the evidence given to the w rid, from the lips of the young lady annulled and her brother, pl iin'y says he was not guilty of. It dees seem to us that a sense of moral responsibility should impel the Chief Executive of the State to act with dignity in the matter, and not treat the investigation of such a serious affair with levity, and a "jeke" I may have transceiuTeJ tliVb'Tunils of proper respect for himself and his high posi'ion, by intemperate language in a public meeting. Prepare for the Ktection. We call special attontion to the card of Mr. John A. Fact, giving his reasons for not wishing to ho considered a candidate for tho office of Intendaut, under the announcement made lo9t week. ?ftr wn iu?r Mr. rani s reasons sound and democratic. ileietoforc tickets have almost beea forced upon the people of the town by six or eight' individuals, and very doubtful methods adopted to elect them. Uuder such ciicumstnncss the choice of the people have not only not bean aauU<??</ but made subservient to the interests of a few individuals. AVe think the tiiue has arrived when the citizens at Inrgo should take (he matter of nomin&'ing a Town Council into their own hands; and not only nominate, but determiue to elect their nominees. We know of no special issue to be involved iu the coming election, except the general welfare of the town. That, of course, is, or should be, the paramount object in selcc'tng the town officials ; and if we are true to ourselves, as good citisens of one of the healthiest and most a'tractivc towns in all this Piedmont region of country, we will si*e to it that our town government shall be in the control of men who will do all in their power to elevate its moral standard, and (inspire a wholesome spirit of enterprise lU?1?4C..h?F cituem. , .

Practical Eduoatioa ' To the fond pa-cnt whose bey has piksed his elementary schooling, the question of practical education is a momentous one, and a few suggestions, based orf reminiscences of some of the writer's struggles and "afumbling-bh cks" in life's battle, will, no doubt, intere-t the paternal reader. At the outset, (lie principal consideration is .the parent's own social position in life and.. l|is desire to finally see the eon at least as aucccrsfull as he has been. The educational course for any boy should be p'anned on these limes. Tho more certain a boy is to be obliged in the future to create his owa is to be left in any comparatively strong business pr financial position, the more -thoroughly sl^'d he perfect his mind in the li'ghcr ana more theoretical branches. Of course this a general rule and eannot be followed abs dutcly, as there arc many exceptions. There am boys cut out, o' course, to be Presidents and Senators, but it is pretty good adtice, I think, to keep this little idea out of your boy's head, for if there is other than ordinary ability in him it will derclop like spontaneous combustion-, and yon won t haee to do much planning for him. The higher a man's education is carried the more susceptible la his mind to that which is ideal and unworldly, and therefore less fitted for money making ; hence a man who aspires to knowledge of this kind should be a man of means. A careful examination of a list of twonty tniUioniares showed that only one of tliem had a college education. The essential characteristics of a businessman ere so d'.f -* 1 .1.-1.. it is a rare thing to see a wenlihy man highly educated. Of course we occasionally see wealth and a high degree of education combined, bat even in these esses the knowledge has been gaiped by ooDtact with oth^g men of learnio?4bd with the wor'd. The augge^tieii I would offer la that all young men, when starting in life, atrire to get that knowledge with which they can gain wealth, which, after all, is tho principal thine we liec fer. The tcnrlencv days to teach boys geology, botany, rhetoric, philosophy, and the like, before they can spell with absolute correctness, or hefore they hare mastered arithmetic, the most important elementary study, is Nonsense. The iJca of a military school is equally unwise.

Let me advise all young men to study that which is practical, and in after life heir wo?lih will cover many educational shortcomings?J'altr, in Cheerful Moment* - 0^ Where Best Oar Heroes !
