Judge lionet squirms at llfty (60??0?50 ) "No Ullis" in Dis pensary cases being returned hy the Grand Jury of Charleston, now sitting in that city. His Honor should know that the (.'rand Jury Und the evidence insufficient. The Judge should not burn Ids books, but read them. And His Honor should knbw that the reason of "secrecy" in the Grand Jury room is for the protection of the weak against the strong. The poor man who is on the < irand Jury is not to he jump- | ed upon by the purse proud citizen when i lie comes out, for not "presenting" the \ big man's victim. The (.rand Jury is the Gibralter of the weak. If the Judge were the "Grand Jury," he would soon he Pellt Jury also, as well as "Dispenser" of J ustloe and we would soon Und him at the place of execution, currying away the halter as a souvenir of the blind Priestess, who is supposed to hold the even scales. * * # Wednesday afternoon while a wit ness was on the stand and being exam ined he was asked If he wus in the habit of carrying a pistol. He replied that ho occasionally did so. He was then asked if ho had a pistol in his pocket at that time. ? He replied In tho aWr matlve and produced the pistol, which, by tho direction of Judge* Buchanan was turned over to an officer of tho court. This was the most surprising occurrence that has resulted from the examination of a witness in this court house within the memory of the atten dants at court. The result was sur prising, not that the party under ex amination had a pistol on his person, for if everybody in court had been ex amined in the same way and had been as candid as the witness no one doubts but that many other pistols would have been brought to light. The law against carrying concealed weapons is tho most generally disregarded law on the statute hooks and few people seem to think it wrong to violate it.?Sumter Watchman and Southron. Very curious. A very funny witness. The questions were Improper and the witness should have declined to answer Then again the Judge had do right to confiscate the pistol?until true bill, trial by jury, and conviction. He can sue the Clerk and recover back his pistol. **?* Worth Attention. For a hundred years young Caro linians coining out of the high schools and colleges have had their attention directed to "Constitutional Limitations" with the example of the leading men pointing to the learn ed professions, and the ways of ambi tion, mostly political. Hut times change and we perforce must change with them. Probably a thousand young men and a thousand young women have left academy halls within the laot two weeks in this State equipped only lor teaching and studying the profes sions, In South Carolina it is no longer purely an agricultural condition. Ag ricultural fields are also crowded to choking. Again, not one in ten far mers can turn over to daughter or son a conveniently equipped plantation or farm. It is soon here in our midst to be a mechanical age. Competition will be sharp, and skill alone is the weapon of victory. A railroad President pass ing the shops of his company found the seventeen year old son of a distin guished lawyer friend, in overalls, Working with hammer and tongs, and immedately called upon his friend and offered pecuniary aid to the father to send the boy to college. The offer was rejected, the boy was kept at the shops and now as a practical railway man, who worked his way up, enjoys an al most princely salary. The times change and we must be prepared to meet the change?to ride the wave, ?'Honor and shame from no condition rise, Act well your part, there all the honor lies." From the Richmond Times wc ex tract the following article: THE QUESTION Or THE HOUR, ft was announced several days ago > that the Rev. Dr. s. A. Steel, of Pe tersburg, had accepted an oiler to take charge of an industrial school in Ala bama. In speaking of tin; matter yes terday, Dr. Steel said that thoughtful mon in Alabama had longsince arrived at tin* conclusion that there was an economic side to the so-called race problem. These men have seen the work that Hooker Washington is doing in Tuskegce, turning out each year from his industrial school a large num ber of young negroes who have been trained for the industrial world, and they are convinced that it is necessary to establish industrial schools in that State for the training of white hoys. Dr. Steel is going Into this work with earnestness and enthusiasm, and with the determination to give the white boys of Alabama an opportunity to get a praotioall education. We believe that ho is undertaking a great and good work and we heartily agree with him in his view of this question. There ought to he, there must bo, industrial schools all over tho South, and we of "Virginia ought lo tako the matter to heart. There is a line school r.t Hamp ton for the practical train! r* of young negroes, but there is no similar school in Virginia comparable to Hampton school for the training of white hoys. After all, it is training that counts. We may talk as much as wc please about the superiority of the white man, lint the skilled mechanic, whother his face be white or black, has an ad vantage over the man who has had no training. This is a practical age, an industrial age, und the South is lace to face with a new condition. The South is no longer exclusively an agri cultural community. It is fast becom ing a manufacturing community, and its greatest need to-day is an abun dance of skilled labor. We have noth ing to say against the trniningof black men. The whites cannot if they would c'ose up the school at Tuskegce and the school at Hampton for the training of tho negro. Hut Southerners cannot afford to sit idly by ami sec such schools as thes? flourish and havo no similar school for the education of the whites. True, the Mechanics' Institute of Rich mond is doing a splendid work in this direction, but this school is living on a limited income and it must operate within its limited means. What are Virginians going to do about it? It is a question that they must seriously and prayerfully con sider. THE NEW PRAYER. < '.''in on was designed and cut out for an agricultural, mechanical train ing school. Its founders considered that tho ago was on for intelligent cul tivation of tho soil und tho develop ment of mechanical industries in the State. It was an old classical injunc tion?"See l'aris and dio." Hen Tlll man commenced his caroor with tho modest announcement? that he would bo content "to shuttle olT this mortal coil," if ho could see an agricultural college established in South Carolina. It was done. Wo uro inclined to the idea from a closo watch of tho work of tho institution that it is performing tho purpose of its establishment, and we may expect good fruits und abun dant. At tho recent commencement, how ever, tho literary feature of the Insti tution shone prominont, and a poem by ono of tho young men is attracting un usual attention and some criticism . A writer from Darlington attacks it for irrovorence?but tho critic has proba bly not read Kipling's Keco3sional? while tho author of tho poem (it is sug guested) may have seen it enough to fully catch its spirit and ring. Tho poem is so clever and so finished that we cannot but give it to our rea ders. Mr. t,>. 11. Newman, of Chostorlield. is the author, and for the best poem got a gold medal, llorc it is: We have forgotten, U, Lord, The day of our innocont youth, When we craved not tho wealth of the conqueror's spoils, When our bunds shrunk from binding the conquerer's toils, When our eyo turnod from battle and fiendish turmoils, And our love was the freedom and truth? We havo forgotten, O, Lord. Wo havo grown grasping, O, Lord: Wo covet tho conqueror's might; And the lust after gain, and tho greed after gold, And counting of kingdoms as bartered and sold, Have turned us away from tho teach ings of old, Havo curried us into the light. We have grown grasping, O, Lord. We'ro worshipping Idols, Os Lord: We've honored tho heathenish calf: We've bended tho knoo in tho temples of Baal; We're leaving a record that is but a tale Ol tho worship of Mammor.. Out faces should pale That we reverence the artisan's craft,? Wo're worshipping idols, O, Lord. And do Thou forgot, (), Lord, The prayers our father's have pray ed,? For they usked Thee to give us a self govorncd land, To striko out the sword from the em peror's hand, To blast and destroy the oppressor's band.? These prayers should not havo been made, And do Thou forget them, O, Lord. And give us to tyranny, O, Lord, Grunt us plunder and murder and wealth; Let us crush out the weak, help us to conquer the strong, And set up a kingdom wnoso king shall bo wrong, Wo'ro a God-fearing nution, Oh, grunt that we long May servo Thee in plenty, In health,? Ami give us to tyranny, Lord. Our prayor is beforo Thee, O, Lord; 'Tis a new ono and somehow 'tis strange: Hut we speak the desires that nro first In our heart, When wo a9k Theo to srnllo on the ^double-faced part Wo are playing to-day, and keep open tho mart Where we buy and sell kingdoms, und give tho bo9t part Of tho nation's manhood in exchange. Our prayer is boforo Thee, O, Lord. *' * For Governor. Hon. W. J. Tolbert is in the field for Governor of South Carolina.

Tho South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition* "It Is earnostly desired by the man agers of the Woman's Department of tho Exposition that en this occasion the reprosontationof thu trades and in dustries of women should be as com prehensive as possible and a-; varied. The women of all sections of this and other states are urged to respond to the invitation to exhibit their work. They will thus aid very greatly in the success of the Exposition, and also create a greater interest in their la bors." This exhibit should be a mutter of pride and patriotism with the women of South Carolina. Other slates have had expositions and made splendid suc cess: this required the best efforts of her good citizens, a "long pull, strong pull and a pull all-together," that was most satisfactory in the mid. Why should not our stale do as well or even bettor? And why should not Laurcna secure the highest prize for the best county exhibit? We certainly have within our borders line resources of many kinds, and line ability and means for tho development of these gifts. Only united effort is needed for success.

Died, at Laurons, May 11th, 1001, Mr. John Frederick Felts, son of John and Elizabeth Felts (later Mrs. Teague) In tho forty-fifth year of his age. Also on l?th May, following, Fred Harris tho infant son of Frederick and Amelia Felts, aged twenty-two months, was laid to rest by the side of his father. As WO viewed the beautiful waxen form of little Fred how impressive! The at tachment of father and son, and the separation how brief, ere they were re-united: and we are sure little Fred is sweetly resting in the arms of Jesus. The circumstances attending the death of Mr. Folts were peculiarly sad. Hav ing experienced pecuniary reverses, he had given up his usual business avoca tions and retired to ti more humble walk In life, and while discharging his duty faithfully, he was stricken with disease, from which he suffered much, but bore with unmurmuring Chris tian resignation to the will of (iod. Death over brings with it deeply sol omn thought; yet it is more fully rea lized when all earthly hope has Hod and medical skill is of no aval); and only to wait and watch the fleeting pulsations, the restless agony and intense SU Her ing, struggling for the fettered soul to be released from its earthly tenement, and Heaven's portals wide open swing, to bid tbe ransomed soul a joyous wel come homo. Mr. Felts was an honest man, and a consecrated, consistent Christian,?it can bo truly said of him as evinced in his life, "For him to live is Christ and to die Is gain." In his Christian char acter he was unostentatious, and in manner, unassuming. Ills life was a "living expression of tho holy gospol ho professed, and ac tions shone to nrovo the doctrine all divine." It was his privilege to live to sec two of his children ushered Into the fold of Christ. It. was his at I in on i i ion and desire I hat his children should be "likeolive plants around bistable:" his daughters as cor nerstones, polished nflcr the similitude of n palace. Mr. Felts was a devoted husband, an exemplary father, an affectionate brother, a kind neighbor, a sincere Christian and true friend. He leaves, to lament his early death, a wife (noe Miss Amelia Moore) whom he had shielded from all care and respon sibility ; brothers and sisters, and seven children, (one of whom is Mrs. Oscar Teague) tho oldest a son, upon whom must fall tho mantle of his sainted father, as the holp of his widowed mother, brothers and s'sters. To tho Mather In heavon who has "promised to be tho comfort of their alllictlori," that He will heal their be rcaved hearts in this thoir llrst great sorrow of death in their home, to take Jesus for thoir trun, protector and guide, that they will moot their loved one in the beautiful homo above, ami sing His praiso forover, whore parting and sorrow aro unknown. "The pains of death are past, Labor and sorrow cease, And life's warfare closed at last, His soul is found in peaco." "Soldier of Christ well done, Praise by thy new employ, And while eternal ages run, Rost in thy Saviour's joy." RELA i I VP.. Laufens, S. C, Juno 11th, 1001. Not a Cheap Flour.
