All of tin* candidates for Governor, other than Speaker Smith and profes- j sor CllnksonloH-, seem to be laboring 1111- 1 der the deli/shm that If either one of these two gentlemen, who are advocat ing compulsory education Should he oleetod Coventor, that we would Imnie dlately have to levy a tax sutllclent to raise a million dollars and Inaugurate a compulsory system of education at the next meeting of the General Asseni ' bly. Of course, this Is all nonsense. j If Speaker Smith or Professor Clink-' scales should he elected Coventor We take l( that they would recommend the passage of a compulsory education law. The Legislature, we hope, would have HUtliclvnt Intelligence to study the compulsory education systems of other States and nations, and at the proper time and In a practical way provide for compulsory attendance upon the public schools of the State.

The lluce Sixty Years Ago. The Chester Standard, Nov. id. 1s,"|. The quest ion, who is to he -our next Governor.? is still mooted, and nom inations continue to l>c made through the press of t he State. A week or two since; Col. U. l\ \V. Allsjou and Hon. A. Buff were put in nomination: and now we have from the l^niger the names of Col, Lewis ,1. Patterson, of Liberty Ilill, Lancaster -District. A writer in the Spartanburg Spartan, over tiie signature of "I'p Country" in sists upon tiie claims of (Jen. Wallace, who, he thinks, "from his character as a linn and decided Stales rights '-advo cate ? from his devotion to our Interest of everv kind? from Ids ayquaintancc slilp with our wants as a people, and his abllitics?to serve them, is not only well rpialiticd but entitled to the hon ors of governorship." There is still "ample room and verge enough," and "the more, the merrier." The Poisoned Compound. Mr. Singleton, a farmer of IToke County, met with a serious reverse in ids lirst experiment with dipping cat tle. He had evidently gone about the matter of the construction of the dip in the right way and put "Jl cows through it. A mistake had been made, however, in compounding - the solution used for the saturation of the cattle, and it not only killed the ticks, but tiie cows also. As' indicated by his re course to the dtp as a means of rid fling Ids herd from the cattle tick. Mr. Singleton, is a farmer with progressive ideas, but the loss of ids cows, amount ing rrotu a tiuaiicial standpoint t<> $l.l'oo, will n<>t shake bis belief in tin virtues of t i> k killing. Tin* incident, however, should serve to put farmers on guard as to the ne<e<sity of cau tion in thcvprcparat ion the solution, j - -Charlotte Observ < r. A (Will). Inasmuch as the recent publication j of certain articles in The Chronicle regarding Hon. John (<. Ui< hards has caused considerable comment and some feeling among the friends of Major Ki< binds, who in a way hold me respoi^tyle therefor, and to place myself in the proper attitude towards Mr. Klchards and his friends, I wish to make the statement that I am in 110 way responsible for articles appearing in The Chronicle. As will be secy by referring to the editorial i?ago of The Chronicle the paper is being published by Messrs. 11. 1>. Niles and 10. N. Mc Dowell. My entire time is devoted to the duties of the Probate otllee. This change in the management of the paj>er was made soon after my election to this office in order that the duties of the Probate otllee might, not be neglect ed for those of the paper. Personally Major Kiclmrds and Cap tain Smith are both my friends ? and 1 am their friend ? and would not place a straw in the way of cither to prevent them getting the high oflice to which they aspire. Either of these gentlemen would make South Carolina a good Governor, and I wish it understod that I will be glad to see either one of them in tbe executive chair. Very respectfully, W. L. McDowell.

And yet you often wonder why this thing or that thing was not I published. An editor always does his best to give all the news and 1s always i:lad to publish any item of general In I terest.
