NO PLACE LIKE HOME.
So says a young lady who left
home and returned to Gaffney on a
visit. ‘‘I like the Gaffney people
very much and would like to live
among them,” has been said more
than once. Gaffney is a pleasant
:>Iaee in which to live. Those who
have been reared amid its pleasant
-urroundings delight to turn their
faces homeward when business or
pleasure will permit. The fee ing is
i natural one and is worthy of culti
vation. Would that there were more
homes in Gaffney, and more I wing
hearts to appreciate the attractions,
the associations, the loving minstru-
tions that grow up in every happy
home, and make it a happy meeting
place. From every such home, as
from so many suns, rays of light and
heat are continually being given out
to cheer and warm a cold and barren
world into active co-operation. Every
happy home is a monument to God’s
love, more enduring than brass or
•mirble shaped by art or man’s de
vice.

three men can come to any other
coi)clusio*i tiian that they made the
very host fight possible. Ably did
they represent their race, hut it. was
a forlorn hope.
We know not what admixture of
Caucassiao blood might flow through
their veins, hut whoever wishes can
see what education is doing for the
negro race. The speakers. while
acknowledging the ability of the
white race to lead, threw down the
gauntlet to make the ability to vote
turn either on the property or the
educational qualification, or on both.
The gauntlet will not be taken up.
The idea is to eliminate the vote of
the negro or. at least, to reduce it to
the hast posiMbl,, nttmher. Better
fur let the law remain as it is than to
arrange to reach the end through
fraud. Victory dishonestly gained
is the direst defeat.

TOWNSHIP GOVERNMENT.
Ex-Senator Geo. 1). Tillman was
I I.e champion, in the convention, of
the township government plan.
Having failed to carry the conven
tion with him in his ideas of county
government, lie brought all his pow
ers to bear on giving the townships
rights that they do not now enj >y.
The convent ion was upder convic
tion through the able presentation of
the subject by the distinguished
speaker, and he. came very near car
ry ing his point. But on account of
peculiar conditions in some of the
lower counties, it was thought best
to modify the proposition, and leave
th c mi tier optional with the town
ship.;, instead of mandatory with the
legislat ure.
So far, no one man lias developed
siieli powers for leadership as to
carry with him a permanent major
ity in the convention. It is a good
sign.
