These promise to be very effective and imposing. For suggestions as to the planting of the grQunds and the choice of plants, Mr. Gilhort will have the advantage of the taste and experience of Mr. Flaglor's gardener, who laid out the grounds of the Ponce do Leon and other famous hotel8 in Florida, and is considered quito an authority upon such matters. 44 BATTERY S4A ISLAND) 3 F-WWAGENER,. P.RE LUSSONS TAUo0I 1'. So eof th' 1C8An:l1Tau;:h, fly the R dn P"rimary ElArelion (Columbia Record.) The Anderson Mail says throe los sons are taught by the result of the gubernatorial olection. It says: "The first is that (ho dispensary law is stronger than over with ho people, as it shown by the fact that two thirds of the members olectod to the house are in favor of it." Tho Mail adds that the regulative features of the dispensary law should be strictly enforced. The second losson is set forth by the Mail in those words: "Another thing that the election toches, ink our- judgment, is that the people (10 not approve of preafchlors dabbling' ini polities and p)roaching political ser mons from their pul pits. We think there can be no doubt of their senti ments on that, poinft. They are wvil ling to listen to the preachers andl heed and follow them wvhen they pro claim the eimple gospol, but when they undertake to make political stump speeches behind the shadow of the pulpit the people will resent it, as they have in this las election. We have no sort of dloubt thatt every preacher who has made use of the pulpit and his ministerial character to further a political purpose has to that extent lost power~ and weakened his spiritual influence over his flock. No preacher cani use vituperation and inv'ectivo and apply epitheta in the pulpit or the press and retain the respect and confidence of his peoplo.", And, finally, the Mail says: "h peopile have intended( to rebuikO uin fair campaign methods and 'mud - slinging.' in every instance thle candidate who engaged in 'mud slinging' h as been dlefeated. 1Brooke r and bo0th the Evans' wvent down as a result.largely of the circulars sent out just hefore the last election. Mc Sweeney got an increased majority in most of the counties. We have not the slightest doubt, that thwe circulars increaised his majority. Thme people Ibelleve in fair and square dealing." The three lessons are wvell put and1 there is no doubt that they aire taught b)y the result of the primary. It will be wvell for politicians to re member them in the futuro. If they do, ministers will stick to their ap pointed sphere and politics will be far cleaner than in the recent cam nanwn. ",MOUNT PLEASAN1 $CASTLE PINCKNEY tRI-PLEY LT.
