V ' ™ i' m m t; ■ t* "The: ji*edi30e:i*. ?DKLI8HKL) TUESDAY AND FRIDAY. BY f Ed. H. DkCamp. NOTES AND COMMENTS. There is a vast difference between stinginess and economy. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The man without remorse of con science is a moral failure. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Keep the good roads machinery at work. It’s the best investment the county has ever made. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ South Carolina is coming back to her own. A white man has been con victed of manslaughter and sent to the penitenti iry for killing a negro. ♦ ♦ ♦ There isn’t any moral difference be tween the theft of a chicken by a negro and the theft of a million by a white man, but somehow or other the negro generally gets caught. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Good Book tells us if our brother smite us on one cheek to turn the other; but the trouble is that the most of us have so much of the Old Harry in us that we gener ally retaliate in kind when the oppor tunity presents itself, instead of turning the other cheek. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Ex-Senator John L. McLaurin has sold out his interest in the big cor pcration in which he was interested and he is quoted as saying that he will return to his Carolina farm. There may be some folks in Carolina who don’t admire Mr. McLaurin, but the truth remains that he was a man of conviction and fearless in express ing himself. ♦ ♦ ♦ The old Confederates have been having a royal good time in Columbia this week. The occassion has served to take them back forty years, and surely there are none who do not in spirit share with them the gloriee of their reunion. The Columbia State has been chocked full of their doings and all Columbia united in extending to them a welcome that made them proud. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Keeping everlastingly at it is one of the qualifications that brings suc cess. But have you ever noticed that keeping everlastingly at it never brought any pronounced success to those who do nothing but talk? Take vVilliam J. Bryan, for instance. He is an incessant talker. He has talked and talked for the last seven years until he has made people tired of his talk; while, on the other hand, Grover Cleveland has never had a great deal to say, but somehow or other be keeps doing something, and it begins to look liice the people are going to make him president again. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ One of the neatest turns that has come under our observation recently was that in which Judge Crutchfield, of Richmond, Va., played in giving advice to a Pennsylvania negro who came before him for redress because of his having been used up by a young white fellow. The negro is Robert Williams who was educated in Phila delphia and employed on a vessel now in Richmond harbor. He became in volved in a discussion with Harry Barber, a white youth, on the race question and the latter became in censed and struck him on the bead with an iron bar. Barber declared the negro told bow be bad sat beside white girls in the Pennsylvania schools and ban escorted them home under his umbrella. He said other things about white women until Bar ber gave np the argument and used the iron bar. Barber’s father testified that Williams made such offensive statements about his familiarity with white people in Pennsylvania that he could hardly keep his hands off of him. The judge discharged Bar ber and advised the negro to go home after admonishing him as follows: "Take my advice and get right back to Pennsylvania. If you don’t you’re liable to find your body ornamenting a lamp post some morning.” Good for Judge Crutchfield! He not only displayed good judgment but evi denced the fact that he possesses qualities that are destined to lead him higher. A PERPETUAL CHARTER Granted to tbe Confederate Soldlera Keilef Association of South Carolina. Columbia, May 11 —The adju tant general has forwarded to the war department a list of the towns he has inspected. Dates will be arranged after the con ference. Col.

Ore** will not preach at the Broughton Tabernacle in At lanta next Sunday, as heretofore e.n- rounced, but will fill his own pulpit at both hours. This change of pro gramme is due to a sudden unexpect ed and vet characteristic move on the part of Dr. Broughton, who, in spite of his physician’s order to rest six months, and in spite of the fact that his church gave him six month’s leave of absence with his salary paid and pulpit supplies furnished, has with out a word of warning returned from Europe and will preach in Atlanta next Sunday. While he was here Or. Broughton said, ‘‘All the powers of earth and hell can’t shut my mouth ” We believe it, and more, it seems that ever love cannot prevail on Dr. Broughton to take sufficient rest; he will preach.

Prescription Druggists, Limestone and Frederick Streets. be Held at Wlnthrop College from Jane 23rdito July 21st. The State summer school for teachers will be held at Wlntbroo Col- leue, Rock Hill, S. 0., from June 23rd to July 21. Winthrop College is an excellent place for such a school be cause of the splendid equipment, ac- ce-sihlo libraries, reading rooms, and ex ensive accommodations. Arrange ments have been made for boarding in the college and this gives the South Carolina summer scbocl quite an ad vantage over some others because the te-chers are conveniently located and can enjoy better advantages. Courses of study have been pro vided in pedagogy, school super vision, elocution and reading, gram mar, literature, rhetoric, library work, drawing, sight singing, music, history, geographv, arithmetic, alge bra, geometry, observation work, nature study, botany and school gar dening, manual training and kinder garten principles. Some of tbe ablest teachers of the state and nation will take part in this work and a large at tendance is anticipated. A special feature of this school will be a series of addresses by some of the most effective platform speakers available and some work will be done looking to the educational campaign which has been planned for the sum mer. A meeting of county superin tendents and other campaigners will be held during tbe session of the sum mer school. In addition to the regular courses of work by the teacher students, there will be lectures intended for such students as desire some recreation as well as wo'k. Quite a number of teachers, after a hard year’s work, do j not desire regular study, hence this arrangement. A prospectus, giving full announce ments, will be issued a« soon as pos sible from the office of superinten dent of education County boards are rapidly making reccommen- dations as to instructors for the various county summer schools and as soon as these arrangements are perfected, the schedules will be pub lished. THE OLD RELIABLE h\ &AKIN0 POWDER AbsolutehrPure THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE V Marriage of Loan* Hagood. The following item from tbe Gas tonia Gazette of the 8th inst., will be of interest to many of our readers: ‘‘At Marion, 8. C., Wednesday Mr. Louis R. Hagood, a former Gastoniau, but now cashier of the Kings Moun tain Bank, and Miss Louise Johnson, a popular and accomplished young lady of Marion, were married. Mr. Hagood has many friends in Gasto nia with whom The Gazette joins in wishing for him and his lovely bridx a long and happy wedded life.” Mr. Hagood likewise has many friends in Gaffney, where he once re sided, who will echo the sentiments of The Gazette. Haney is the man who can forget all the mean things he" knows about himself. Oulck Arrest. J. A. Gulledge, of Verbena, Ala., was twice in the hospital from a severe case of piles causing 24 tumors.
