Mr. Wilkins was preaching last Sunday morning, a three-year-old _tot quietly passed up the aisle, ascended into the pulpit, and stood unabashed squarely by the side of Mr. Wilkins.

Ladies' Belt Pins at Horton, Burgess The Lake City Times sends us a copy of its first issue, and the editor. Mr. Frank Carter. is to be congratulated on the ap pearance of his first edition. The paper is full of crispy local matter, the very life of a country newspaper, and the workmanship is first-class. This enterprise is gotten up with the backing of the business men of that town, and we see no reason, with such a backing, why the editor of the Times cannot make a huge success of it. How eer, he will have to learn how to fatten on smoked herrings and soda crackers if he ever expects to rank among the rich and well-to-do. Home Branch Alliance had a very inter esting meeting last Saturday. The attend ance was good, and eight new applications were acted upon. Six of the applicants were ladies. The next meeting will take place on the first Saturday in July at nine o'clock in the morning. Those who think the Alliance is dead in Clarendon should attend the meetings at Home Branch to find themselves in error. Too much praise cannot be given to Clarendon's executive committee for their wise and patriotic deliberations of last Sat urday. There was no captious opposition exhibited, and everything went off as hap pily as a marriage feast. and now we say to the people of Clarendon, it is your duty to think well before you select your represen tatives. All who will be candidates for the constitutional convention are well known, and it is well for you to lay aside petty prejudices or factional jealousies and vote for men who, in your judgment, are capa ble of best representing you. This is no holiday occasion: it is an occasion the fruits of which are to be handed down to our children, therefore, make it your busi ness to find out what you want and then select the men, without asking to which faction they belong, to vote for. The idea we desire to impress is that this is no fac tional fight and that no factional issues are at stake. Remember this in making up your ticket. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. The County Democratic Executive Com mittee met last Saturday in the Court House. The attendance was not as full as it should have been, but, owing to the busy season now with the farmer, it was a good meeting. What was lacking in num bers was made up in harmony and pa triotism. The entire session was one of friendly intercourse, and while matters before the body were freely and openly discussed, there seemed to be a general desire to avoid any rash action. Those present were: James E. Davis, Chairman. E. D. Hodge of Aicolu. C. R. Felder of Panola. Major C. S. Land of Foreston. Captain J. H. Keels of Suummerton. B. R. Gibson of Silver. J. C. Johnson of Paeksville. Dr. I. M. Woods of New Zion. A. J. Richbourg of Cross Roads. Captain D. J. Bradham, Manning Farm ers' Platform. J. Elbert Dais of Jordan. J. P. Brock of Friendship. E. C. Horton of Manning. The meeting was composed of seven IN formers and five Conservatives. When the committee assembled ('hair man Davis stated the object for which it was called-to wit, the appoinutment ''f managers to conduct the prim:ry, and that under the rules both factions are to be equally represented on the boards of man ageis at each club in the primary, which is to come off July 30. After some discussion as to party policy, which was participated in Captain D. J. Brdham, Dr. I. M. Woods, E. D. Hodge, C. R. Felder and J. H. Keels, a letter was read from Major H. B. Richardson, who, in behalf of the "Forty" working commit-, tee requested the executive committee to call a mass meeting for the purpose of suggesting a plan looking to bringing about an equal division of the delegates. Mr. L. Appelt, who is also on the "Forty' committee, was present and requested the committee to devise some plan by which the people of Clarendon would avoid a contest for delegates to the convention, and he stated that as some newspapers are try ing to pet the "Forty" in a false position, he wanted the committee to understand that the "Forty" are in honor bound to act with and in subordination to the County and State Democratic Executive Commit tees, and whatever action might be taken by the committee the "Forty" would ac quiesce in the result and work for the ticket nominated in the primary. He said the "Forty" will go into the primary, and when the primary is over the "Forty" will vote for and work to elect the nominees of the primary. The letter of Major Richardson and the remarks of \Mr. Appelt were received by the committee as information. Capt. D. J. Bradham introduced the fol lowing resolution: Resolved. rhat that the executive com mittee of the Democratic party of Claren don county recommend to the Democratic voters to endeavor as far as possible to se lect and vote for the best men as delegates to the constitutional convention, leaving it to each jindividual voter to judge for him self who are the best men. He supported the resolution in a warm speech, chock full of sound sense and patriotic sentiments. He wanted aspirants to go lzefore the people, that they may know who and what they were voting for, but he was opposed to dictating to the people who they should support. He discussed the various matters that would come up in the convention, and he wanted it understood that he would sup port no man who was not in favor orf making white supremacy a certainty and who would deprive the humblest white man of his right to vote. He would not '-ote for a man who would favor the abolition of the homestead, an d he wanted the men who got his support to work for giving the white children of this country better school facilities, which could be done if the white children receive their just proportion of the school tax collected from the property, which they dZo not ie eive now as the present constitution stands. Mr. E. D. Ho'dge of the Conservat~ve faction secondled the res >lution offeredl by Captain Bradham, and his remarks showed very clearly that he recognizedl the fact that the executive committee could do nothing further than to act undler the orders of the State Committee anid, as a Democrat and a whi-c man, lie thought the resolution fair, just and proper. The only thing his faction wanted was fair and honest treatment, and that would be had under the rules of the State Exec-. utive Committee. All of the memtbers seemed much im pressed with both speeches, and, when the vote wvas taken, the resolution wvas adopted withouit a dissentinir voice, after which the chairman sugge.,ed that a sub committee be appointed to select mntagers of the election from bo0th factions and to arrange meetings for the candidates to have themselves heard on the qunenions toI be acted upon in the Constitutional convyen Messrs. E. D. Hodge, C. S. Land. D). J. Bradham, J. H. Keels and Dr. I. M. Woods, were appointed a committee and they made the following appointments for the county campaign : Coles' Mill, Wednesday, July 10. Foreston, Saturday, July 13. Summerton, Wednesday, July 17. Packsville, Thursday. July 18. Manning, Saturday, July 20. On July 6 the various clubs in the conty are to assemble for the purpose of selecting managers ana recomimiend managers for the adjacent club~s. After the campaign meeting in Manning on July 20 the Executive committee will meet to niake rules and revise the club PRIMARY SCHOOLS. Common-School Education Shame fully Neglected. The recent brilliant address by the Hon. W. J. Montgomery of Marion, delivered before the alumni of Wofiord College, con tains a sharp criticism of the State appro priation for public education. He notes that, while the State has been generous in her legislation toward the establishment and support icr higher education, common chool education is shamefuliy neglected. He says: "The crying need of the hour, according~ to my appreciation of our political sur roundings, is more and beter common schools-not schools alone for the class.es, but schools also for the masses; not schools in the thickly settled well-to-do country commmunities alone, but in the poorer and sparsely settled sections also; not schools for land owners' children alone, but for their tenants also; in a word, public shools disseminating univers.di education. Pry up the masses with the leverage of universal education and thus release them from the bond of illiteracy. "It may be suggested that this sounds well in theory, but that it cannot be carried into practice on account of-i. The State's poverty, and 2. The negro in our midst. "To the first suggestion it is replied: 'First--Stop these extravagant appro priations for higher education until the masses have at least the three Rs of an education and give imore money to the common school. Better tear down these' massive buildings and sell the debris for firewood than have an ignorant and conse quently depraved citizenship.' "'Second- Make the attendance upon the common schools com pulsorv.' "To the second suggestion it is replied that the cegro and his friends are taking care of this education. "Dr. Currie, agent of the Peabody fund, startled the Georgia Legislature a few years ago by telling it that the negroes were making more rapid strides in the at tainment of an education than the same class of whites, and other thoughtful ob serveis confiirmed the opinion expressed by this eminent authority. "Besides, Northern money has been and is being poured into the S.uth to educate the negroes. Dr. Mayo is authority for the statement that at least fifty million dollars had been spent in the South since the war to educate the negro. "It is well known that there is not a city of any considerable size in the South but has one or more institutions for the edu cation of the negro supported wholly or in part by Northern money, and many of them--such as ('laffin in this State-are doing fine work. So it is needless to halt longer in extending aid to common school education. because it will aid the negro, even if it were conceded-and it is not that the negro should not be educated. "The policy I have indicated would not only improve our citizenship, but give a fresh impetus to every institution in the State. Argument is not needed to enforce the statement. Every boy and girl who has the desire for an education once awakened in them--though born in a log hut--will shake off their surroundings as the lion shakes the dew from his mane. ''Higher education, however, has not been dealt with so ankindly. It has had and still has friends in the halls of legislha tmon and on the husting . "When the white people returned to power in 1876 the South Carolina College and the Citadel were reopened and money tlowed freely out of the State treasury for their support. "The South Carolina Colege took on the university system. and an effort .vas made to popubrize it by making its curriculum embrace every study that it was thought would run current with popular favor. It had at one time, as I remamber, 26 pro. essors and about 201' students. It then became an issue in polities on account of the free-tuition fiaturo ' and because the farmers c ntcnded they wanted a college of their own, where applied agriculture and mechanies milrt he taught. '-A new order of things came about. The So:;tl Carolina College was emasculated, but its appropriations continued. The Citadel was criticised and threatened, but its appropriation continued. "The bequ.st of Mr. Clemson was made the nucleus. the name of Mr. Calhorn was used to conjure with, the prejudices of the farmers appealed to, large appropriation. of uoney-incindi:g the phosphate roy alt-aud an unlimited number of con victs, resulted in that magnificent institu tion with a capacity for 6011 students, lo cated under the shadlow of the Blue Ridge. Higher education, it seems, had now' be come a fad. "The State had three institutions includ ing the Winthrop Normal School; besides there were seventeen other private male and female institutions for higher educa tion in the State, notwithstanding the cry of poverty was heard throughout the State and the tax-gatherer was literally grinding the faces of the poor. "In all the liberal proviions made for higher education in the State woman's interests had not been provided for and, with a unanimity of political sentiment not hitherto manifested for years, it was decided to establish a great industrial school for women, which is now about '-Last year S50,000 and all the conviCts needed, and this year $75,000 and all the convits necied have been appropriated to complete this institution. "A city's increase consists not alone in heaping up great treasures, in building solid walls, or in multiplying artillery. But this is the best and richest increase', prosperity nd strength of a city, that it shah contain at great number of' polished, learned, intelligent, honorable and well. bred citizens, who, when they have become all this, may get wealth and put it to good use. Since, then, we must have citizens, we are not to wait until they have grown up. We can neither hew them out of wood no:- carve them out of stone. We must use the appointed means, and with all co.st and c-are rear up and mould our citizens." There is no such thing as a satisfactory and enduring structure without a solid foundation. A healthy plant must have a vigorous root. Tlhe primary school is responsible for the success of high'er education. The least valuable teachers are frequently employed in the primwary grad es-cheap teachers for in fants' minds. Primary teachers should be the best teachers, the most experienced teachers, and the best paid teachers in the profes High school and collegiate work is more interesting and less laborious, but whyv ? It is the painstaking primary teacher who prepares the foundation. A shrewd old Gerumn once said that he charged double price for those pupiis wvho had learned under any other master, say ing that ni-s labor w~as double in unlearn ing and learning. Educational result.s would be far in ad. vance of what thzey are' it' he funds were ouieent to engage the best talent for the young minds and not empi;loy ineflicient tc'hrs simlply be-cauise they are cheap.

MAKE THE POOR DEVILS VOTE Against Their Wishes or Starve Them to Death. Columbia Register, Juue 22. A batch of two here and there on the streets yesterday of so-callel straighonts of the irreconcilable rule-or-ruin genus led to the suspicion that something was up. And there was. They had assembled here to hold a caucus or a conference to decide what to do-instad of a"cepting, like true Democrats, the will of the majority of the people and abide by the party rule . The editor of the State has for some time been calling upon Mr. J. K. Carson of Spartanburg to call a meeting of the Ex ecutive Committee of the "Democratic party, which term they arrogated to them selves when they held a convention here last fall and, after an all-night session, did nothing. The appeal for the meeting was not in vain, and members began to gather in Col umbia during the day. Among those in the city who came to attend the meeting were F. C. Fishburne, W. K. Steedman, John M. Kinloch, of Charleston; S. Por cher Smith of Berkeley, Altanont Moses and J. I. Manning of Sumter, J. K. Carson and J. C Garlington of Spartanburg, A. B. Williams of Greenville, D. M. Prince of Anderson, Editor Aull of Newberry and Editor Langston of Anderson. Dr. Pope and his man Friday, Conmis sioner Reed, were on hand, but it is proba ble that they were up to some other sort of devilment. The delegates-or whatever they are were not, of course, very communicative, but enough was learned to know what they were going to discuss anyway. Chief and foremost is the question whether they shoua make a straight fight against the regular Democracy or not, whether they should go into the primary; whether. after reviewing the situation, they could make anything out of the negro, and if so, should they use him; what coun ties a big fight for delegates should be made in and in what counties only a bluff fight should be shown. These are the subjects that were bother ing the irrepressible malcontents. It did not bother all of them either, for some were right in for a clean cut from the regular Democracy, while others were not prepared to go that far. Editor Gonzales was, of course, the lead ing spirit in it all. He wasn't invited to. the Tillman-Hemphill-Evans conference, and he got in a little revenge. Editor Hemphill of Charleston was not in it. He wasn't insited, and he went back home yesterday evening, though, when he heard of the meeting he didn't hesitate to say that it was a mistake for his side-the Conservatives. As they have the reputation, however, of doing the wrong thing at the right time, the Reformers were not worried. They won't say much, but when the time comes to vote somebody will hear something drop with a sickening thud. The conference met last night in the dining room of the Hotel Jerome, and it must have been terribly hot with all the windows down and the blinds drawn. But notwithstanding this the Register is able to give something definite as to the pro ceedings. How the information was ob tained is no matter, but it ought to be patent to every one now that it is almost impossible to hold any secret political conference in Columbia. The cat always gets out of the bag somehow. The members generally made themselves comfortable as possible by shucking off their coats, vests and even collars. They were in a hot place and had a hard sum mer job before them-devising schemes to beat the regular Democracy. Additional delegates to those already mentioned were Editor R. C. Starr of the Florence Messenger. S. P. Wingard of Lexington, E. R. Mclver of Darlington and A. G. Kollock of Chesterfield. The first thing in order was reports from counties. Mr. S. Porcher Smith responded for Berkeley. He said the Conservatives of that county were ready and willing for a straight fight. Mr. Fishbburne reported for Charleston. He said that the county was undoubtedly Conservative. The members of the faction in that county would make a straight fight if the other counties decided to do so. If the others decided on a factional division they would follow suit. Mr. A. B. Williams responded for Green ville. He said that he didn't believe that a handful of two thousand Conservative voters in that county would go into the primary. 'They were somewhat in the po sition of the Charleston Conservatives. If a general and satisfactory division could be made, the Greenville Conservatives might go into it. Mr. Williams. contin uing, said he thought that there was a gnod chaince of winning if the thirty thosand Conservative voters would go to work with a will. They would have to bring moral, political, pecuniary, physical and other infinences to bring about the re sult. He thought that money might be used advantageously. Some men could be bought up outright, while others were hampered with mortgages and indebted uess of that kind, which could be lifted, and the .-itizens would naturally feel grate. fl and vote all right. These are not Mr. Williams' exact words, but is the correct and cold-blooded statement of his propo sition. A member from Hampton said that the C inservatives were ready for a straight tght and were fairly well organized. H didn't think they wanted any coalition, and he didn't think there was much chance for one. Mr. S. P. Wingard, in speaking for Lex ington, said thiat the Conse~rvativcs wanted no combination with the T'illmanites, but were ready for a square, far tight. In re ply to a question from Mr. N. G. Gonzalez he said that the registration during the ten days was short. TIhe Conservatives were not well organized. Conmmissioner Re-id of Dispensary deci sion fame responded for Newberry. Con seratives were in for the fight, and the egroes were so much put out with the Constitutional convention that they would not vote with i~be Tillmanites. Mr. Starr from Florence reported in proper alphabetical order, but he was for straight light. No compromise with the "'illman ring" was the motto of Florence Conservatives. :-partanburg was also for a straight fight, and the reporter, who was Editor Garlinig to, madle a little speech, winding up witl somthing about lighting fcor your rights whih brought forth applause from hi aud.tor -. Mlr. Manrning responded for Sumter. She ""s in for the fight, too. M-. MIoses also spoke on the sarre sub ject, arid was in for the fight if a genera division could not be had. Reports from Darlinrgton and Chestedfilel. caie in a little late, but it is understooc that the samie old story was told. Tlhis appears to be the scheme, then, whether it is denied or not, to make straight fight, to organize every county an' precinct wvith so-called Democratic club: and wage a desperate war with the le. form ers. Trhe conference adjourned at 2 o'clocl this morning, when it was stated that ther< was nothing to be given out for p'iblica tion. 'There was a lot of discussion over somi resolutions, the purport of which c~uld noi be learned, but it is perobable that arn ad dlress of some sort will be is ued to-day.
