Commenting on an editorial of the Sumter Item, the Columbia State re marks: "South Carolinians wish and assured ly should have 'an honest man for gov ernor.' One is wanted who will not bend to every breeze, or be continually wetting bis fingers to get the direction of the popular wind bei< re determining his course. As for Senator Manning, we would have much preferred his en tertaining our views regarding the im I>ossibilityof reforming the Dispensary, mt having his convictions on that point we would not have had him change for the sake of policy, even if the change meant the immediate abolition of the State institution. The spectacle of such a one as Richard Manning turning policy-politician would be enough to shake one's faith in all mankind. "We do not know whether Mr. Man ning will enter the gubesnatorial race next summer, nor can the voter, at this stage, determine his course. The dispensary is likely to loom largo and the issue may be sharply defined be tween 'dispensary' and 'no dispensary.' in which event the personnel of candi dates may be obscured by the policy. But if Mr. Manning is a candidate there will be at Last one South Carolina gen tleman- which includes a good deal ?inj the contest." We endorse all that The State says about Mr. Manning as an honest man. We know him personally, and know him well, and we believe in his integrity, but Mr. Manning is, in our judgment, totally unfit and incompetent to be a dispensary governor. Here is the test: Dare Richard I. Manning recommend the amendment of the dispensary law so that it shall be directly administered by himself as gov ernor, if elected, so that he shall be personally responsible for its adminis tration, so that he shall accept the hazard of having his name stained with it? Governor Tilhnan was brave enough to make that recommendation. He did not shirk the responsibility of being head dispenser, head buyer and seller of whiskey as well as governor. He holds that the governor should run the dispensary and so said last summer. There is strength in his position. We do not believe that Mr. Manning would accept the governorship on any such terms, and if he would not he is no thorough-bred dispensary man. If the dispensary is a good institution it ought to commend the highest char acter and best ability in South Carolina for its service. We challenge anybody to shake the logic of that proposition. If a man is too good to manage a dis pensary he has no right to ask the sup port of dispensary men in a primary. The man who is elected governor this year on a State grog-shop platform has got to swallow it horns, hoof and hide. So with the man who is elected United States Senator. There are two men in South Carolina who when the dose is offered won't gag or think. They are Cole L. Blease and B. R. Tilhnan. WHO AND WHAT IS CROMER? Some of the newspapers are discuss ing Mr. George B. Cromer, of New berry, as a candidate for the United States Senate. We do not know Mr. Cromer personally, and we would ask some questions about him; now that he is in the public eye. Is he a God-fearing man, a man of clean tongue, not given to dripping foul words and gross jests, and is his name free of ancient slanders and the odors of stale deals and the trickery in politics? Or is his reputation Indissolubly linked with a whiskey machine, so that, whatever his good deeds, his memory in the far future of South Carolina will be redolent of the fumes of whiskey? Is be a man about whom the little childn n will read anecdotes in the school histo ries a century hence drawn from his as the manager of a State wllis ?ng business? man likely to be famous on ac Cou . his expert knowledge of the wi k<v business exhibited to the legis lators from a chair on the speaker's desk? Is he not merely a brave man, but a loudly brave man, who in his public speeches usually and frequently calls the name of the Almighty in boisterous tones? Is he "game" and an advertiser of his valor, a man always described in a noisy manner as "fearless," and who has proved his terrible and destructive "grit" by making charges when sur rounded by his friends, which he some times retracts in private in order thai the peace of the country may not be disturbed? Is Mr. Cromer a man who can "rouso the boys," who can reduce the railway corporations to fear and trembling, and who can in one campaign stir up strife enough to last the people of the State through a generation? Is he renowned in the art of taking hand primaries? Or is ^is man Cromer a mere com monplace man, educated in morals as well as mind, keen in reasoning, strong but calm in expression, willing to serve God as well as his fellow men, in the old fashioned ways according to the rules as laid down in the Book of Books,*?a modest person, not vaunting himself, not posing as of Napoleonic audacity in piping times of peace and not degrading himself and his people by rosorling to the antics of a blatherskite in order to raise a hurrah? Is this Mr. Cromer a safe, trust worthy man? If he is modest, honest, fairly intelligent and seemly in his he ha vioi, he would make a fine candidate for those South Carolinians who ask if a man is a man before they ask if he is a great orator or statesman or success ful demagogue likely to captivate the imaginations of tho shallow minded in this and other States. Such a man would be in strango immeasurable contrast to the types by which South Carolina is sometimes represented. WANTED, A PUBLIC BUILDING. The following is from a recent Wash ington dispatch to the Columbia State: "Bills have been introduced in the house for public buildings at the follow ing places, with the amounts usked for: Anderson, $100,000, introduced by Mr. Alken; Greenville. $75,000, introduced by Mr. Johnson; Chester, $100,000, in troduced by Mr. Finley; Sumter, $100, 000, introduced by Mr. Lever; Aiken, $100,000, introduced by Mr. Patterson; Greenwood, $100,000, introduced by Mr. Aiken; Beaufort, $125,000, introduced by Mr. Patterson; Galtnoy, $100,000 in troduced by Mr. Finley."

Dear Mr. Editor:- That is the "most unkindest cut of all" to call us absent minded of the very object for which we are organized and stretching every nerve to accomplish -locating and marking the neglected graves of our Revolutionary heroes as a part of our purpose-a work which has been neglected for more than a hundred years by "Ye Lords of Creation," and would likely have remained so for an other hundred had we not taken it up. But, as you say, we are not "an ancient society"?our treasury is as yet very limited compared to the work under taken, and we must creep before we can walk?we can't do all in a day. Yet why should tho D. A. R. alone be responsible for the present neglect when we are the only organized body making an effort in this direction in the State? Why is there not a society of "Sons of tho American Revolution" in South Carolina, as in other States, to give these struggling I). A. R. a helping hand and advice?that cheapest of all commodities. Mr. Editor, you are eligible to mem bership in that society? there are as many sons as there are daughters. Pray organize a chapter and go to work hi this line, and if we fail in our duty in comparison we will bear the criticism meekly.

The following concerning the efforts of South Carolina Congressmen and a wide awake mayor, in behalf of public buildings at Anderson, Greenwood and Sumter, is taken from The News and Courier's Washington correspondent's letter, under dale of Feb. 22nd: Representative Aiken has received a gratifying assurance from the commit tee of public buildings and grounds that i there will be a favorable report on his bill m-oviding for a if.-it),000 public build ing at Anderson.

WISE AND OTHERWISE. | Tho early geographers have told us that the earth was composed of one third land and two-thirds water. But those proportions can hardly prevail at this time, for the world has consumed enormouB quantities of water during the past twenty-five years. Just when water came into use as a "chaser," is lost in antiquity. An in vestigator recently questioned a Ken tucky gentleman on this, important sub ject, and the Colonel stated that he didn't know that water was so used.? The only instance he had heard of Was the Deluge, when water was used as a chaser to get the animals into the Ark. The Colonel said further, that he re garded water as an abominable adulter ant, the use of which should be re stricted by legislation. He lamented the fact that unscrupulous people were introducing it into everything. This was possible because consumers did not take the trouble to inform themselves. He declared, with a show of pride, that he could tell water at a glnnce, and as far as be could see it.?Pattens Mo. ' GHOSS IGNORANCE.

Inatcd the Houmu Letter, There Is scarcely nuy error so popu lar, yot so unfounded, as that whlcb Invariably attributes uubouuded ludc* leiice to the UlOUUStlo orders of former days. To tberli we owe the preserva tlou of literature, both in the pains they took to perpetuate history by their la bors In transcribing and by their dlll geneo la the education of youth. In tho large mouasterles a chamber was always set apart for writing, al lowing Bpaee In the same apartment for othor quiet employments also. The transcribers were superintended by tho abbot, prior, subprlor aud precentor of the convent and were distinguished by the name of "antlqunrll." Those in dustrious persons were continually oc cupied In making new copies of old manuscript books for the use of other monasteries, and by this means many were educated and our most valuable historical roeords were preserved. The Anglo-Saxon monks were most celebrated as writers and were tho originators of tho small roman letter used In modern times. The greatest delicacy and nicety were deemed es sential In tho transcribing of books, whether for tho purpose of general In struction or for the use of the convents. Careless and lllcglblo writing Is therefore but seldom to be met with among the remains of monastic indus try, and when erasures wore made they appear to have beim done with the utmost enrc aud skill. For this purpose the monks used pumice stono, and they wore also provided with a puivctorium, or awl, to make the dots and with metal peim for writing until after the seventh century, when quills wero brought Into vise, they being far better than the metal pens then in use. Tho Inks were composed of lamp black *oot mixed with water and gum for use upon tho vellum, paper not 1)0 Ing Introduced until the tenth century; hence tho beautiful distinctness, as well as durability, of very ancient manuscript books. Bo Important was tho art of writing in those dnys that It Is conceded as ninny as 100 different styles were In vogue among the learn ed. With ro many Impediments to tho multiplication of books as were at tendant upon their slow production in this manner, it Is not a matter of sur prise that tho monks enjoyed almost a monopoly of this kind of lnbor, as In truth tlioy were the only body of men who could properly conduct it. The expense of preparing books was pro verbially great, and large estates wero frequently set apart for the purpose of purchasing them. In addition to the cost of transcribing, the materials of which books wero composed were sources of great expense. The leaves In many instances were composed of purple vellum for the purpose of show ing off to more advantage letters of gold and silver. The binding was often very gorgeous, although of rude con struction. The prevailing covering for books was a rough white sheepskin pasted on a wooden board, with im mense bosses of brass, but the ex terior of those Intended for church service was inlaid with gold relics or silver embossed on Ivory plates. Some books bad leaden covers and some had wooden leaves, but even as early as tills bindings in velvet with silver clasps and studs were made as pres ents for exalted personages. Illuminating manuscripts was also another occupation of tho monks of tho middle ages, although not confined to them, for tho greatest painters of the day disdained not to contribute to these cumbrous and sometimes confused dec orations. The art of correct drawing and a knowledge of perspective canuot, however, be ascribed to the generality of the fantastic pictures by which Illu minated books aro adorned. Coloring and gilding appear to have been tho chief points u> which tho attention of the illuminations was directed. The neutral lint was first laid on somewhat In the same mode as in the present day, some portions being left untouched in order to be afterward Imbedded In gold and silver. The pictures represented different subjects, according to the na ture of the book which they were In tended to embellish. The title Oil tho pages was formed of capital letters of gold aud azure mixed. Illuminated pic tures are of a da/./.Ung brightness, tho White predominating, which, not being nn oil color, reflects the rays of light and does not absorb them. Ho much custom had the monks In their labors of transcribing and Illuminating that they were sometimes obliged to Intro duce hired limners, although eoutrary to (he monastic rule In general, but such aids were seldom resorted to, tho monks being usually the only laborers. The Invention of printing diminished the importance and annihilated the profits of writing, and In 1400 that of engraving superseded the art of Illu minating.?New York Herald. Antlclpn tlntf Trouble.
