On another page appears a strong eatise, by Prof. Q. ?v. Cunningham, i the matt? .- ol better equipped toa-i i!. :; consld ration, and the people generally seem to be indifferent to the u.?atter. That better schools; more of them, properly equipped; ? ? ? . iiece ?ity tire needs too urgent to require lengthy argument. Hut the question la how to get them. Judge Prince says that teachem in .. ? be paid high* r salaries; Prof. Cm nlnghaiii says the same. In our opinhri ti...? wii] solve the problem ? if teachers; it will warrant men ami woi >n of ability fifing themselves tu teach as a lif" profession. At pre ' and with the present salary basis, men and women generally teach until they have an opportunity to i i some more lucrative profOK ..if.i . and Just as they have acquired sufficient experience to "ruh off the rough am) make them thorough ly efilcieot they give up the work. Tii? r< s in? getting around If. men and women usually go where they can make the mo i money, other things being equal; and they are right?it is the law of self-preservatioii. South Carolina must spend more money if she would improve her schools and Kectire better teachers, (letting t"n" children in tie schools is another problem, the solution of which is compulsory education. ? . ?

While we deriv< no particular pleasure in the news that two nu n have I.-en con vict' d of a ciime, it does give rise to a fei ling oi gratification that the law has been vindicated, at least in a mean.i re.

At least, we have no IdOft that the Coopers will ever servo their term in prison. ? ? ? This Is the age of specialists In every profession. With pleasure we note that one Laurens physician Is making a specially of stomach Ols ens? ; and is and has been preparing himself for that particular branch of work. Laurens has as fine a corps Of able doctors as are found In the State; >there are none bettor. And now, if one or more of them will make a specialty of surgical work, he will make a barrel of money and do a -.great thing for the city. An editorial headline In the Char lotte Observer says "One Thing This State Lack*."' A proper appreciatioti of authentic history, we answer with out reading even the first line. ? ? ? The Daughters of the Confederacy have decided to erect a monument to Major Wirz at Ander.>onv:lle. Georgia, the bite of the old war prison, where Wirz was "legally murdered" b>* the North. We are glad that Anderson* Vllle instead of Richmond was select ed. That monument will stand for many years the persistent reminder of and protest against the North's In justice. ? ? ? You will not find ' .^3ie James", "Nick Carter"' and the "comic supple ments'' In the city library. ? ? > Yes. it is true as set?e one has said: the county newspaper is the biggest trust or. earth. !t trusts everybody; gets cussed for trusting, mistrusted for trusting and if it busts for trusting, gets cussed for busting. Send us waat you o we on lawyt ? will doubtless I why The Advertiser did not send out a comic HUpplcn cut with Its issuen every week. For this reason: the comic supplement to the big dally papers perverts. chiefly t:: . > i?-i children, the taste of the reading lie more than any other thing. We may be considered cranky on this subject of reading; possibly so. but we are almost constrained to say: ''as 'a man reads, so is he", or "a child's reading Is father to the man." Parents usually exercise some care and supervision over the things that go Into a child's stomach, yet do not see that only the right s'jrt of. stuff gets into its brain. ? ? ? Congratulations to the new city council for refusing ?o grant license ???> a carn|val company. That was among your first act.-, we believe; ? is certainly among your best. Lau* rens does not need any carnivals. ? ? ? Send us $1.00 on the Monument fund as soon a:; posslblle. Laurens should donate $200.00, and i? can be raised easily If we try. Ann why wait?

MONUMENT FUND IN LAURENS Laurens county should give $200.00 to the fund for the erection of a mon ument in Columbia to the women of the Confederacy: she should not stop with less than that amount, and if possible ought to go beyond it. The State of South Carolina has respond ed heartily to a call from Laurens. and it will ill become the honor of the county to fail to respond to this call from the State. Thus far $33.00 is tho amount of the contribution from Laurens county.
