Congressmen Joe Johnson and Lever, of this State, have been select ed by the managers of the National Democratic campaign to stump In diana and other Northwestern States for the Democracy. They are effec tive speakers and stand well in the councils of the party. The State farms will gather this fall about 20,000 bushels of corn. This statement leads the Newberry Observer to suggest that as the State is heels over head in the liquor busi ness, why not pay thc big distillery in Columbia to make it up into corn liquor to sell to our thirsty citizen?? Thc Southern Railway management is certainly doing a great and impor tant work in inducing the honic-scck er to settle along its lines. This road is a very effective factor in the devel opment of our beautiful Southland, which is so rioh in natural resources, and the thrift and industry seen along its lines is an evidence that good re sults have followed its efforts in this direction. If there should be a vacancy-on the Supreme Court Bench of this State on account of the bad health of Chief Justice Mciver, Anderson has a gen tleman who is eminently qualified to fill the position. We refer to our popular townsman, James L. Tribblc, Esq., who is regarded as one of the ablest and most studious lawyers in the State. His many friends would be more than pleased to Bee him oc cupying a position on the Supremo bench. Tho idea enforced by tho New York Tribune that "thc leaders in the south must be left to solve the problem (of education) in their own way," and that they "best understand tho con ditions," is encouraging in many moro ways than one. It indicates that there has at length grown up between thc north and south tho spirit of re ciprocal confidence that many of us have been praying for during more than thirty years. Who knows but that the little red school-house may after all bo thc means of reuniting all sections of the Union as they have never beforo been joined together? In the matter of child labor in tho cotton mills there has been some talk, very strong and very sharp pointed, about taking children from the con trol of their parents and its bad effect on the community. We recognize the force of the argument, but there is an other side to it also, which applies with unfortunate generality to all classes, and that is the deplorable faot that among the great American mass es as well as the classeB, parents are all too ready to drop the responsibility and trouble of raising their children, to say nothing of controlling them. They are delighted to put the duty on a Behool teacher or a neighbor or even a corporation -ike the cotton mill. The result is worth studying. In some cases we doubt not the corpora tion ie tho better parent. What can the schools of thc Stato do towards inculcating a higher sense of the sacredness of human life? Thc terrible recklessness in the use of fire-arms is becoming a serious menace to our civilization. It is time for teachers and all good citizens to raise their voices against this fearful vio lation, of law.. ;oth human and Divine. Human life shold be regarded as the holiest trust that society has in its charge. How far ia tho toy pistol re sponsible for the pistol carrying mania, and the consequent disregard of life? Thc young lad is given a toy pistol, ho learns to handle it, and to. soup his "paper cartridge." But soon ho tires of the toy, and wants to own a "sure enough gun" that will kill something. Teachers and parents arc familiar with this process of evolu tion. Let tho toy pistol be banished from tue school and from the home, if you would keep from developing in that boy the murderous instincts of the savage. Teach the child tho sa creuness of human life,-yes, all life. Brushy Creek News. Cotton ia about all gathered.

Accompanied by M?BS Ida Simpson, ono of Piedmont's earnest church and social workers, your correspondent hud enjoyed the rare favor of a visit to Greenwood during the 8th and 0th inst., attendant upon tho Woman's Foreign Missionary Union of tho South Carolina Presbytery. We cannot forget and shall always magnify in our appreciation the kind ness shown, and the official competen cy manifested by tho Greenwood ladies of the organization. Charity is a de lightful trait when so surrounded by these refined graces, und who would not be a missionary or delegate? Who 7 Your correspondent was apportioned to Mrs. Hird, on Church street, whose home and talents and carriage were at our disposal for the good of our per sonal gratification and the adornment of Christianity. Greenwood's magnifi cent edifice-tho new Presbyterian Chinch, costing ?17,(H)0-was occupied by an intellectual body of women scarce ever surpassed there in zeal by any or ganization of Christian workers. Two inimitable addresses-one by ench-were delivered by Kev. .J. Lowry Wilson, I). D., and Rev. J. Piiirman Preston, of Greenville. Comment on these ad dresses in point of exclusive ability and convincing argument would be almost detrimental as entirely unwor thy any attempt at description or nar ration. Mrs. K. N. Krnckett, indispensable ?presid? nt. of the Union, presided, and beside Mrs. Krnckett in official capaci ty another indispensable, Miss Annie Kell Towers, of Anderson, Secretary and Treasurer of local Presbyterian Societies ot the Union, were represent ed, with a kindly influx of Methodist and Baptist visitors. Wo were pleased to hear from Mrs. Auld, of Greenwood, that the Methodist organization within tho Inst twenty-four years had con tributed to foreign missions alone almost one million and a huU dollars. Papers in order woro delivered as follows: "Mission Work in India"-Mrs. Wm. F.Leo. "A letter from Miss French," tho missionary, apologized for by Little Mountain Society, as not having yet arrived across the ocean. "Oppoaition to Missionary Union," Anderson Centrnl Church, uniquely re sponded to by Mrs. J. C. Harris, who reported: "Ha ha! Why, we never heard of such a thing, wo really could not think of it; and we love mission work so well that not ono of us could be found who wns willing to write n ?aper on 'Opposition to Missionary Jnion.'" Mrs. Harris' apology was unanimously received. "Au Interesting Missionary Society," Good Hope Society. ThiB intelligent and instructivo paper on the subject, by alady, to whom this correspondent owea ninny ufologies tor not having caught the natue. Nnnsing, a cot nt Elizabeth Blake Hospital in China, suggested a few ap propriate names, "Palmetto" among them, to which tho writer facetiously, in honor ot' modest Piedmont, object ed, us being a brand of dispensary cal culated to nil all the hospitals and jails in foreign and home fields with incura bles. Tho president and delegates, however, were assured that the States' "coat of arms" were no longer blown upon wiu>key bottles, and that the nourishing emblem was all right as a guarantee of the wholesome morals of the State, whereupon, with benign gratitude, we relinquished and with tho majority rallied around "Palmet to."' The hospital is a bequest of John Paney Blake, deceased, or Greenwood, named in honor of his wife, Elizabeth. This estimable lady was herself present nt tho Union, the recipient of many re lined compliments. The cot is sup ported by the .Mission Union of the South Carolina Presbytery. An inter esting letter from Elizabeth Blake Hospital, by missionary Anna B. Wil kinson, was read by Airs. K. I'. Blake. At close of meeting decision was re quired for location of next annual meeting. Anderson, through her able delegates, came almost securing the prize, but Miss Ida Simpson tendered invitation from Piedmont; whereupon your correspondent so eloquently pre sented the charitable needs of the de voted little spot, Piedmont, a need which demanded every missionary del egate assembled to "come over and help us next year-a need unneeded in Anderson-that the Anderson ladies delightfully, in their charming manner, "relinquished in favor of Piedmont." So, Mr. Editor, please como over with Anderson next year and help us. Ollicers for ihe ensuing year are: President, Mrs. R. N. Bruckett, Clem son College; Vice Presidents, Mrs. ?. K. Doyle, Calhoun, nnd Mrs. It. P. Blake, Greenwood; Corresponding Sec retary, Mrs. J. T. Holleman, Central Church, Anderson; Recording Secre tary and Treasurer, Miss Towers, First Church, Anderson.
