The business of citizens as well aw of t he state i? inexcusably delayed by the very common practice ihf leaving public ollices to run themselves or through clerks, and a atop should lie put to It fit the earliest possible time." So a ay a a sensible exchange. While the fight against Tillman wa? vigorously conducted by the newspapers it wan not their light nlone, for they were backed hy a solid, substantial sentiment which they publicly voiced. The" Flor ence Times asks the question how tlio public will receive the patriotic and unselfish work of the press, and Either questions what newspapers sftuold do hi the future in case they are rebuked this time. Kor our part wo think the newspapers should always do their duty re gardless of consequences. As long as thev are actuated by pure and patrfl^fc motives, as they were during the past campaign, there need be no fear, in our Judgment. ? Record. Tho Columbia Record m tikes thin timely suggestion : "It is llkoly thnt in the county campaign tho child labor question will bo one of t ho lending iBnues, and it Is well that it should be, for this question must he settled one way or another. One or two of the candidates have already expressed their views in favor of t h h pro posed legislation, whilu others de clined to nay anything uutil the canvass begins.

"The campaign is over and the little snow Hakes that fell l*st Tuesday will moan a frost-bitten ambition for some people" says the Gsil'ney Ledger. "All," continues j>be Ledgor, "are to bo moro or less TTIsappoinled. Hut it bocomes each and everyone not to nurse ?>thnt disappointment.

The historical trowel which was fust used by LaFayetto in laying the corner stono of tho Dekalb monument here and which has been used on several important occasions has again been brought into ser vice. It Vhs Utted in Y o%kville last week in laying tho oornef stone of the new graded school building. Speaking of tho time-honored trowol the Yorkville Yeoman says: "Colonel Barron held up to the view of the audience an ivory handled silver trowel that the grand lodge had aent along to be used in these ceremonies. It was of especial interest because it had been made for the use of Marquis do LaFayette, who was a Mason of high rank in laying the corner stone in the monument to Baron DeKalb, at Camden, S. C., in 18*25. It has boen used since on many similar occasions; notably inlay ing the cornerstones at Winthrop anil Clcmson colleges. The tidce and nature of the event is named, for each, by a record printed on a white ribbon attached to tho han dle. Another ribhon will now be added for the Yorkville graded school."
