The Chester Lantern claims that
Chester was the first county to
agitate the good roads movement to
any great extent, and the Abbeville
Press and Banner knows nothing
about that but does know that
"Abbeville has some as good roads
as we expect to see before we shall
be a resident of that city which is
paved with golden bricks."
We are glad to know that Chester
has long been an advocate of good
roads and we hope that her agita
tion has accomplished much good.
We are glad to know that Abbeville
has roads very little inferior to those
in that city which is paved with
golden bricks. And we are glad to
know that the editor of the Press
and Banner is traveling such good
roads on a straight course to that
city, and we hope he won't be lonely
when he gets there, so far as his
brother editors are concerned. We
congratulate Chester and Abbeville
and Editor Wi'son.
We only wish that every county
in-the State could have been the
first to start the agitation for good
roads and that every county in the
State could have got the good roads
first.
We have good roads in Newberry,
too, but we don't bring them out
in rainy weather.
The patriotic observance through
out the South of the anniversary of
the birth of General ,Robert E. Lee
speaks well for the future of the
Southern people. No people have
a prouder heritage, and it is their
duty to cheriss it. and to teach
their children to cherish it.
The alumni of the South Caro
lina college have determined to
raise $5,ooo to aid young men in
obtaining an education. Carolina
is loyal to her alumni, her alumni
are loyal to her, an&the institution,
the alumni and the whole State are
receiving the benefits.
In his inaugural address delivered
before the Mississippi general as
sembly this week, Gov. James K.
Vardaman, it is reported, "declared
that education is the curse of the
negro race and urged an amend
ment to the State constitution that
will place the distribution of the
common school fund solely within
the power of the legislature.'' Mis
sissippi is unfortinate in having a
governor who refuses to look be
neath the surface in order to find
the truth. The remedy is not to
cut off education from the negro.
but to see to it that he is given the
right kind of educaticn.

ealthy man he hadabout induced

founding of the College. He
showed how the College had been
turned from its intended course in
a mechanical direction by force of
circumstances, and in answer to the
demand of the people. He said

honorable living on the farm.
