E. 11. AULIL. EDITOR. EIITOICI A 1. CORHIE81'ONI)ENCE. Columbia, February 28.-The trip of the Press Association to Cuba Is an op, portunity for the editors to visit, Cuba that nay not colc to thifagail soon. Every editor who intends to go must let mo hear from him not later than the 8th of March, as it will take some time to arrange transportation, and then, too, we want to know how many will be in the party. 1 should think that $50 will cover actual expenses, though there will be ample opportunity to spend more. The trip will be made over the Southern to Savannah, and from there to Jacksonville over the Plant System, and from .1 cksoni v lle to Miaini over the East Coast, and at this point we take the steamer for lavant. It is to be confined to members of the State lress associat ion or some mem ber of the family. * * The election for mayor and aldermen of Columbia is to be held here next Tuesday. 'Th1-re are four 1anndidiates for mayor, and I u nulber in eaeh wa"d who are seeking a'Jer manic honors. The campaign thus far hats been very qulet, and I suppose the electionecring is done on the still hunt plan. No one seems to know, or pretends to know, so far its 1 have heard, how the election is going. The present iicnttbent, Col. T..i. J Lipscomb, Is t Newberry man, and during his term there has been wonderful advance umiade by the city. It may have come Under any other ad ministration, but the fact remains that it cam1e under his. There is still room for inprovement, and we all hail its coning with delight, for every cit'.en should feel a pride in the grow tii of the Capitol city. * * Colunmbia has tine railroad facilities, and when the Seaboard comes in her railroad facilities will not be excelled by any city in the South. From every section of the State except the I'ied mont there tre morning trains into Co lumbia and afternoon trains out, and why the business men should malke no effort to get a 1moi'ling train ma froml the up-country is more than I can orider stand. Capt. ('hids knows mlore about runn;ng his roads than I do, of course, and I would not for one moment pie so,me to Indiaete how Ie should nun lia trains, but being its largely interested as he is In Colnmbiat, I have never been able to unde'stan( why he did not have a m1orning triin into Columabia and na afternoon trai-n out that would run att least a nair passenger schedule. It would be a very great accommodation to the people from Columbia to Laurei0 and I reall e bel ievo would do mone pas senger business than he does on the passenger schedule that : e now oper ates. A schedule that wr.Jd give the people an opportunity to come to Co lumbia in the morn ing and attend to business and return bore the ramle night and thus lose ony one day. I have for a long time been an advocate of suchI a schneduale. Elven a throud. freight with passenger coaches would illi the bill if it were in realityv a through fre'ght, but a local freight ear. niot be depended on. I no0.ICed inl thle pape)rs the other day that Senator Graydon, of AbbevPici. was menltionled as a probuble cnnd idtt for Solicilor. Senator Graydon mnakes a goodi and p)ainstalting lnawmaker and g yes close aitte'itionl to legislnation, and( is a good lawyer, andc 1 have no0 doot) would make a good solicitor. Spneaker' *Gary is a )poounedt candidate for Governonr, and I ul(ndertand that Abbe vill1o utlll also ftu'nish One and possi bly two canadidates for Couagress. I was jtust wondeng If she would( riot also furnish a caindidatto for LieutenantGCoy e'-nor and one for Attorney General.. She now lhas only 0one maember of the Supr-eme bench aned two Ci "cult judges and reallv the 01(1 counlty should nlot he t.mid or bashful. for thecre are only3 thirtv -nirne other~ coutlics ill the State. * * Since the Legislatu'o has gone every thing political is rather quiet arnoundll the State House and you hear very lit tle political talk. * * The p'-ohibitd.on address that was issued the other daty has not heen d is cussed. I have never been otne of those who believe you can legislate maorals or temperauce into peoll. Or~ that you can make them sober and honest by forco. If you want to stop the man uifacture and sale of liquor you must stop the drinking of It. You can't stop the manufacture and sale as long as the appetite and desire for drink remains as it is. I may be mistaken, but I have observed local effortsm at prohibition and my observation has led me invari ably to the conclusion thatt it was a fail ure. You want to teach and instil tom peranco and sobriety and tot,al absti nonco, and when you get this then you have as near prohib!tion as it can well be desired. But prohibition by statu tory enactment is imp)racticablo and would result in failure even if it were tried. dhave so of ton written about the in 4ependence of farm life and the mis tekees of people whlo determine to move from the farm to the town or eity, that I feel a delicacy in referring to it again. My purpose is and has baen to impress ~ hose Who'lie upon the farm tho tmorance of the position they ocouipy, 4zd h folly .oZ leaving a good farm. ~ ~dIlhappy and independent life fot' ~: 0~e~t~ ~sfull of tlhorny way. abel ~( ~%j~g~db dshipu The, too, wanJ to impress t ho importanco of making the farm home moro attractiv and pleasant, and thus r11101 desirable as a plac of residence. I am about to print aln artielo from the Southern l"arm \lagazine. It was written in response to a letter from a young country lad who w1uted the editor to. securo him work o'lhor than on the farm. It is a question for every young man who is now working on the farm, whether or not he will try to leave the farm in or der to better his condition. Hero is the letter: Thoro aro undoubtedly many oppor tunities in industry awaiting young men, but the young men must deide for themselves whether they are quali fled to seize the opportunities, and in the catse of those engaged in farm work, whether they will better their condi tion by ehaiging tLheir occupation. If the South is to become what it should be it mllust draw largely upon its coun try boys or uon thoso living inl the smnallcr towns to etcuip its industrial unlertak ings. There are country-bred boys eminently litted to meet the de mtand, and with increased opportunities for inlustrial trairning there will be ma11tny more. A yoUnig m11a1, however, who has no more reiason for s.king such employment, than heing tired of workin at home will do well to consid or carefully all the circutstitnces le fore he turns his back uponl the farm. Work oil the fairi is hard, it is true, buut it is free fromn many of the ill. wiihi fall to the lot of young men who leave the coun try in pursuit, of easier or' nore agrI'e,abIl' vo1 I. That one is a hardl w.wking boy is mu excellent recommnendation, but the question for himtt to decide Is whotIher the results of hard work will or will not be better in the country than in tho town or city. A wii':o)gness to work, though, is not all that is d manded. Iii the article to which our co'rrespondent refers the following statements are mnade' "A cry is going up al1 over the South for youn;1g mel to serve as super"intendents, manliger:a and foremen of the mills and factories which are springing i pIl l(i magic wherever inter)riAe and al vanced thouglit ar e assert,ing thleniiolves.

The greatest ob)jectionl I hmavo to this Is thait, whIilo they were buying tip histories on South Carolina they did not include a couplo1 hunidied coipies of t,he A nnals of Newvberry mand t,he history of h lgeleld. .It is alright to 81)01nd 1 little mloneOy for such things but it should not be so panrtial.
