a compulsory system of education at

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

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.
