Judge Gage visited ev ery county in Gie state again undi again. In his address at Cheruw Judge Guge reviewed briefly but Compretten- I slvely the development of free educa tion in South Carolina. The New? and Courier was so iin ji r er sill with the summary of Judge Gage's address ay it was sent out I hom Cheraw that it wrote him and' asked the privilege ot' publishing his address in tull. It is as follows* Judge tinge's Address. Mr. Chairman. Ladies.

There are few studies of more inter est Iban how u community grow: from bettor to better; how an aggregation nf people make stepping stones unit ascend the heights of civilization. ? Such a movement starts in the per . -rn of one. or of a few men and wo-, mon; it then gel:- a com mon posses sion of the community ami thc evolu tion begin: . Successive generations take up the idea of the movement, and enlarge upon it. and it filially comes to fruit. Those who went before you have gone to their graves long ago. lAb while they lived they got an idea which has bios: mud into lins good, day. - , llegliinliig of F.duca'Ion ia Cheraw. As long ago ar 1772. which Js one hundred and forty-two years ago. a, grand jury of thir vicinity presented! to the court then assembled ut Long Bluff a few miles from here, "as u, grievance the want of a free school In the district." The presentment was repeated at there separate term.- of the court, ano the lat L time it was declared to be a. "very gi eat grievance." 1 doubt not but that some of the de scendants of those jurors are in this audience tonight. Amongst them 1 hnd the names of Harrington. God frey. Evans. Pegues. Lide. Elerbe. Wild.-', James- and McIntosh. This wa? the starting point of edu cation, education by taxation, in this settlement. Filly years after that Robert Mills obaeived about Choraw: "Great prom ise is held out that this town will be come as eminent for encouragement of literature and the useful arts as for commerce. Several soctelties are in embryo and much Intelligence con centrated here." Rut although this was LO. the Idea of a free reboot, such an t lie grand juries demanded, did not develop soon and giow to full fruit! There were free -.dionis, but only for poor children, ?iud! a very meagre appropriation for tl.cm was made hy the leglrlatruc. Poor children ? - re those whose pa rents could not neate them. The descrlptb- >. was odious and was calculated to U .-p away from the schools those whom they were es tablished. This wouli" > thc operation of such u law today. If Hie appropriation for the public : ools now was described as one to i .icate "poor children," then parer' . would not send their children t ? school. At that me and tn the beginning of the nineti nth century and for Its first fifty yearr. there existed in this date marked'distinctions of class. T.hlr was the outgrowth of slavery Those who owned slaves were able to educate their own children, and they ellher did so at their ownv ex pense or left it undone. They'did not commit lt to the state, and the state did not undertake lt. Ar Inte as 184r> Ute state appro pi lated only $37.000 for the free schools. This does not mean that the chil dren of the itate were not educated; many of them were. ' Many' families employed teachers in their houses, and their children wore taught there. . Tlitu<. were not a few notable acad emics in the state where' young mea were taught. Those of Dr. 'Waddell, at Wtllington. or Dr. Alexander, on Bullock's Creek; of Dr. Hudron, at Mount Zion, and many others, sur passed any school for boys now In the state. But Ihe children of a great mass of our people went without education at nil; those people bf small or no means, whose children' liad to work for a livelihood. This policy of education was pur sued until' the clore of the Viv ?I war.

It is not wot th while now to enter I Ato the reasons.for this; it is a fact is well ertabllsbed by observation and by science, as the cutting of teeth or thc growing of beard. The boy quits school at thc very time he ought most to be there. There is u reason for it; he ir. not getting bc treatment he ought to have.

' ' . " , ? In my judgment this is now the aor ist need of our public school system. But much moro must be taught thc ?hild .tit?n the books. That ls not the knowledge that con terves society. Much more depends upon what a nan believes than upon what ' he I llO Wit. It is true that his beliefs may come rom bis own observations, from Als mowlcdge of books and bin. deduc lonr. therefrom; but in most in itances a man bellevs those things vhlch he has been taught to believe; liv? learns hlr beliefs like he learns liIH letters.

The greatest teacher i ever knew was u mau who did not much instruct in hooks, hut he -taught willi great power the high ideals ot life. And William .lames say: "The sol id meaning of life is always the ?aros eternal thing the marriage of noni?! ideal with some fidelity, courage and endurance." Knowledge, thci??fore. ls not power though that has often been asserted to be so. A mau may know the righi way and not go it: a mun may know bis duty and not do il; a man may know the. law and not obey it; a man may soe opportunitv and nut seize'it, ,1 Kine (J II nt Hy of Life. You may be ready to ask me what is that fine quality of life which gives to man eyes to see, courage to do. wisdom to obey and sagacity to act. The philosopher of Concord calls it character; he wrote "that which all things tend to educe, which freedom cultivates.. Intercourse revolution go to form and deliver, is chnareter." Il is the InherUi gquallty of the man. often latent, uften active, but like dynamic force always present. The young man or the young woman must .tand for something, must be lieve something and must do some thing. Longfellow exi/ess-d the idea in poetle language: "Be not like dumb driven cattle, Be a hero in the strife." When a bill flies out of the field fly after il; when a wagon stalls in the rut, put you: shoulder to the wheel; when you lix a time and place to meet ii mun be there; when you don't know LI thing, : tami tp It; when you make a promise pet form it. Above all, learn to roly upon your self; don't bc, anxious to keep step willi the crowd; thc crowd may be ruing lo one place and you to un filially, and, I am done, expressed in the graphic words of Emmon: "Speak your latent conviction, aud lt shall be the univeisal renae; for al ways the inmost becomes the out most, and oUr first thought is ren dered hack to us by the trumpet of tho la-it Judgment." oooocooooooooo o t o o IN "MY TC^WN." o o o ooooooooooooo Thc presiden, t? the South Carolina! division of the T.

While standing then; she Joined herself to a man possessing wealth .'. ?io : v 01 v.thacher lie '-would support, in sickness and In health. This happy pair dwelt in a home with peace and love, galore. Until at length their fluidly grew till the number was four. The story, though, 'tis very sad. but the truth I now must tell, This mau at last began to drink and in the monster's grasp he fell. The lime, it glided swiftly by-he drank up every cent. And so within a singlet year his untold wealth was spent. ? The mother, leaning o'er her coals, on a cold and stormy night, . Her cheeks were pale, her hair was gray, her face, it was not bright; Three days and nights had passed away since lie from home, had gone. And leaving them no bread to eat, nor wood to keep them warm; Hut now she hears a mumbling voice and footsteps on the floor, And then at length he turns the bolt and staggers through the door. His eyes meet hers in fiercest wrath, and with oaths he doth declare She must not return a single word, but his meal she.must prepare. "Oh listen now, dear husband." the wife then kindly said; "Since you have gone away, we all have had no bread. The children, they are hungry, oh pray, what shall we do? It's all because of whiskey-you know," she said, '.'it's true." Then rising to his feet, as a bitter oath be swore. He grasped her by the hair and dashed her to the Jloor. And then with many oaths, and in his drunken rage. He started for the cradle, to crush his little babe. The mother, rushing forward to the man that seemed so wild, Said, as rhe snatched her darling, "You must not hurt my child." Then she who once stood by his Bide, the one he said be loved, Was on that dark and stormy night out into the tempest shoved. Then, rushing to the little cot where his son was sleeping sound, He ushered him out at the door to cast him on the ground. The boy then seized his father's coat and held it for dear life, ^ . Rut oh, at length it- was cut loose with bis own rather's knife The man lay down upon bia bed to take his night's repose. And knew not that he was alone till morning, when be roue. In searching for his wife, he opened up the door; Two cold and fey forms fell down upon the floor. He found, while bending o'er them, as on them his hands he laid, It was bis own companion, and. darling little babe. ? *'*W For on that cold and stormy night the mother standing there, Had tried to warm her little babe with her own lee-covered hair, But ere the morning came they both had passed away To rest in peace above and wait the judgment day. The father sought his only.son. no trace of him could lind. Until at last he gave up hopo und finally lost bis mind. ' For several years this man was kept in the home for the insane, But by the help of skilful men, his mind at last regained. Ile started out into the world to warn the people everywhere Against the awful, dreaded.-curse of whiskey, rum and beer, ile rose up in a church one night to warn the people there; The pastor ot that church refused his voice to hear. Thc pastor, rising to leave the church, said, with an angry trows. "You take the barrooms from this place and you.will ruin our town."

REVIEW OF THE STATE CAMPAIGN W. P. Caldwell, of the Charleston Newr and Com ?er, a correspondent*' who ls on friendly terms, with the governor's office, ina ken the follow ing review of the gpbei natorlal cam paign to date: t Enforcement of the law, oninpul soiy education, good roads, and cur 1 al uncut of the use of the pardoning power are the paramount Issues de veloped in Hie campaign tour of tho candidates for state offices which closed"Hs second week at Dillon yes terday afternoon. Other Issues, have behn brought Into the race but those have been holding the center of the stage, at leaet ar far as constructive measures are concerned. . "Coat-tail r.winging" ls heard from' every stump', becoming especially piominent 'at- Florence and Marlon during the past week. At the first hurled ot John G. Richards, who is running foi governor, when be: de clared his intention to vote for Gov ernor Blouse for the senate and de nied that he was a "coat-tall swing er" as a result, that he was simply exercising his right to vote for whom he pleased. He denounced what he calls the "newspaper oligarchy" and sayB they go trying to-crush him be cause ot his Intention to vote for Blease. 'W. C. Irby, a candidate for gover nor, and also a political friend of % Governor Blease, denominated Mr. Richards as a "camp follower" at Marion. Mr. Irby said Richards re minded him of one who lurks in the rear while tho fighting is going on and after the victory is won rushes on the field and trys to grab the spoils. "Where," he asked, ''was J Richards standing two years ago wheo he went into a caucus with Senator Tillman to consider opposing Blease:'for re-election?" He also wanted.-to know where Richards-waa rt an di ti g when he and others who have been with Blease fr* yeara wont down to 'defeat with him. Florence was the first place fac tionalism hus cropped out on this campaign tour. Tho audience there . was antt-BlcasV strongly so, and they showed lt by the way in which they cheered thc untJ-DJeaee candidates and heckled thc ' others. From what har. been gathered most of the coun ties apparently so far visited aro against tho state administration with the pu: -lillie exception of Horry. It ls admitted that county will be close, al though Governor BJearo carried It two years ago' by a good majority. Thc caadidates for state office have visited Sumter, Clarendon. Berkeley, Georgetown, .Williamsburg, Florence. Marion Hoity, arid Dillon counties. Which of the eleven candidates aro lending for governor lt ls' hard to say. The people have boen giving close attention to all of thc speeches. That the people arc doing their own thinking and'are Intelligently arriv ing at conclurions regardless of tho so-called Blease irsue In evident. Alt of the audiences have applauded ?con demnation, of the i nd hie sim! nate uno of the pardoning poWer. voiced by ft. I.- Manning and M. ti. Smith In their speeches for governor. These .with John G., Clinkscalea ami ll. A. Cooper have stressed tho need and necessity for.-enforcement of the laws. Man ning. C.. A. Smith. Cooper, Clinks-sales have scored race tracks and promise If- they ar? elected governor ' to sup press the evil. - The -weather - has been sweltering, so hot'indeed as to bc a burden to the caadladtes, the newspaper men arid the audiences. The patience of the whole collection has been won derful. Loses tte Charm.
