MUTATION AMI (IOOII KOADS.
By a strange, yet pleasing, co-lncl
ornec the educational rally and the
good roads meeting were held la Lou
r? ns the same day. It could well
have beon planned so. for the two are
not Incompatible; nay. verily; they
go hand in hand. A goodly number
of people ntended both these meet
ings, evidencing an interest in the
ftWO subjects that bodes well for the
I'mure of the country.
What, is tills a primitive age, when
people must ha exhorted to bestir
themselves in educational affairs ami.
the matter of good roads? May be
the age is not primitive but we still
hnVQ some relics of former days.
However, the great mass of the people
tire alive to these two great quostlons.
dosplte the baleful influence of a few
obstructionists. Yes, there are some
\ ho would oppose education because
it makes ladles an.I gentlemen of us.
hecnusc. it lins to higher planes, en
nobles, enlarges opportunity and ln
ereuses usefulness in the world. And
there are Iliose who decry gootl roads
because rich folks ride over them in
H eir automobiles. But, thnnk hoav
< il, the apostles of such doctrines are
few i-i the laud and that the great
majority ol our people are ready and
willing for progress and advancement.
Those who attended the meeting
1 st Wednesday morning must have
I. en Inspired to greater desires and
loftier aims. They must have real-I
i. 0<l the little we are doing lor the
education of ottl Children and the
lllliuh that could and should be done.
Surely those speeches wer? not in
\ tin; they will bear fruit in many
quarters of the count v. And here,
?we beg to endorse the suggestion
made by Mr. W. ('. WhartOU that we
have a series of these meetings in
l.aureus county, Next summer is the
time; sooner than that will be Im
practicable. Hut let us have them.
And those who were at the good
roads meeting Wednesday night were
undoubtedly impressed with the grow
ing desire lor better roads over the
country. There seems to he a great
ami widespread movement, and il
will have effect. When the Influen
tial men of our county, the farmers,
are brought to a realization of the ;
fact that their heaviest tax is bad ]
roads, then and not until then can we ,
hope for better highways, Of course
we UOn't expect our representatives in ,
the legislature to go ahead and get
through measures fot the building of
permanent roads until they are as
sured of the people's1 Mi;i;iue^ Who
ever heard ol lor b.TW a pio
neer in any good movement those
day;;? He must wait until all Un
people are consulted, and tie n he i
tho willing and obliging servant.
Hut we wan I In impress the fnei
that Latirens county needs good road -?:
and she likewise needs better schools.
There is pnly one way to got |hem
both ami that's to pn.V lor them.
There's no use wailing *'or s'ate aid'
we must do for Ourselves, and then
look lor otu.-ldc assistance.
? * *

10 very cau.-e or movement has
drawbacks in u 'eater or I OSS degree
in the person3 of some of Its advocates,
l?de, d many a good enterprise has
failed because of Indiscretions) and
misieps by its supporters.
In our humble opinion the cause of
prohibition in this state has suffered
more at the hands of IVoV. .1 1.
Hurley than any other one man. Mr
liar ley i.-> president of the1 Anti-Saloon
league Of the^Mtnte, an organization
whose purpose seems to be good and
holiest, but whose operations in South
Carol I tin have not attracted any spec
ial and favorable attention. Mr. Hur
ley Is the leader of this society, with
headquarters in Spartanburg; lie has
visited many points of the state in the
Interest of the cause; be has made
speeches galot'C, and he has done much
private talking- and here Is the trou
ble. Mr Hurley, we presume. Is an
honest matl! We have no proof to the
contrary, but he is woefully lacking
In discr-Hlon, without Judgment, un
fair, and With strong inclinations to
talk loo much. Through these faults
he bus wrought much harm to the pro
hibition CauSQ in this State, bUl even
Mr, Harley cannot stand in its way.
Tbo Anti-Saloon leaguo^TH. n&t origi
nate the fight a.?..?linst whiskey in this
stuto. and Its efforts recently have not
been coltossal. So the success of the
recent elections, to our way of think
ing, bus been in spite of Mr. Ilarley's
doings, in spite of Mrs. Armour, and
the league.
The day ifter the election Mr. Har
ley went biok to Spartanburg and in
the presence of a newspaper man
blurted out an accusation that got him
in a nice pickle. He charged "whole
sale rascality" In one of the Columbia
wards, but when confronted with the
managers of that ward, had to back
down and say It was another. Itefore
the thing was settled, Mr. Harley had
to do a great deal of squirming and
dodging, much to bis discredit, and
1 With great damage to bis reputation.
We repeat thai Mr. Hurley Is very
llke'y honest: but. It is bis indiscre
tion that is hurting the cause in South
Carolina. However, we are confident
that prohibition Will carry In tbe en
tire state in spite of Mr. Harley.
? * *
When a fellow sits, sweating, swel
tering and swearing in the heat and a
friend in the mountains writes him
about the cold mornings and evenings
and of the cheerful tires that blaze on
the hearth, can he be blamed for
swearing even more fiercely?
? ? ?
Politics? What makes the little
politician rip. rear and roar about
the rights <>: the people "personal
liberty ? o,' course the politician
oposes compulsory education: oppos
ing it affords ample opportunity for a
fin" line of hot air about "personal
liberty". Oh. yes! Politics holds
So-Ith Carolina down.
. . ?
hut wait! In five years just count
the politicians who by that tltno will
have i'opped. it was the same way
with ibo dispensary and prohibition.
? * *
Tbe Spurt auburn Journal suggests
a commission plan of examining all
candidates for ofllce, as n met bod of
securing better public service. Our
contemporary's idea is out of place
in this great democratic government.
Ho's it not know that the govern
ment cannot rise higher than its con
stitucnta? We have iust as good n
government now as we desire that's
democracy. Hut, if our friend would
raise the whole level tbe desire for
bet'er public service inusi be made
universal. In other words, educate
the people and they will demand for
themselves better officers and more
ofllelent servant.--: they win no longer
be satisfied with two by fours who
foam at the mouth and rant about
liberty and personal rights.

The average speech of the present
day politician would really do credit
to the average sophomore in the aver
age college. And. oh dear! Next
vp ir we base the campaign.
Mr. Parker said there used to be
three things in the way of the smith's
