There is no half-way ground for Democrats when it comes to forcing prohibition, so-called, on an unwilling community. One of the cardinal principles of the Democratic party is local selfgovernment. Did any one hear of President Grover Cleveland importing from Oregon an individual to fill the office of postmaster in any Southern city? Hardly. Why? Because Grover Cleveland was a Democrat. Do the Republican national administrations force alien Federal officers upon Southern communities? They do. An instance? Florence. S. C. Whv do thev do it? Because they have no respect for the wishes of the people to be affected by such appointments. Is there more reason or justice in the people of York county , taking from the people of Aiken county the management of their own affairs? If the people of Aiken county wish to continue the legalized sale of liquor through the county dispensary, is it any part of the business of the people of York county to interfere with them? Democrats cannot afford to endorse such Republican principles by voting into the! executive office a man who would stifle local self-government. It is high time for some men who claim to be Democrats to learn a thing or two about the doctrines of their party? A Capital Suggestion. The suggestion which was made i publicly in Fort Mill some days ago that Mayor John T. Roddey, of Rock Hill, would make a valuable member of the General As Li., i * ? * semujy iuis met. wiui iruicn iuvui . in this section of the county. The Times would be pleased to learn that Mayor Roddey had decided to assent to the wishes of his Fort Mill friends. There is little doubt that he would receive a flattering vote in this section. Compulsory Education Progressing. The most important boost we have yet seen for the cause of compulsory education in the South was the recent unanimous j endorsement given the proposal by the Weekly Press Association of Georgia. Such an endorsement is worth more than all the resolutions that could be passed \>y the various teachers' associations of the South in a year. The weekly press of Georgia, as of the other States of the South, is a power and when its editors work concertedly for any undertaking results are sure to follow. Compulsory education for South Carolina has never appealed with much force to this paper. There are objections to the proposed law the operation of which we have feared would not be overcome by the benefits to be derived from the wholesome features. No sane man can deny, however, that every white child is entitled to an education and that the State should provide for his educational wants, regardless of the cost. One has but to frequent the places where the youth of both sexes are to be found and listen to their conversation to reach the conclusion that there is a screw loose in our educational system. In Fort Mill, for instance, such like remarks as "the hands are apt to starve to death if the mill losses much more time" is a comparatively mild reminder that something should be done to force si \ i The Times invites contributions on live subjects, but does not afrree to publish more than 200 words on any subject. The riirht is reserved to edit every communication submitted for mihlimtinn. a little learning into heads that are now devoid of anything approaching knowledge of the correct use of simple English words. Julius E. Boggs ha'j withdrawn from the race for the Democratic nomination for Congress against Wyatt Aiken in the Third district. One or two well meaning but misguided gentlemen who are opposing Mr. Fin ley in the Fifth district could with profit to themselves follow the example of Mr. Boggs. No town is worthy of a newspaper if the editor finds the success of his paper dependent upon the good will of the lawless, ignorant element of the community. What such a town needs is a stockade.
