N*tK IChVIC '""1' veD141. The Atlantic Coast Lumber Company which has been operating for several years near George own, Is about to be merged with the Export Lumber Com pany, and a new corporation is to be formed with inerrased facilities for ltimbering and with the purpose of ap plyng heminvarious parts ofth Sout.h. Recently it was reported that another large lumber concern was to undertake tho wholesale cutting of tim ber in the forests of this State. This is all gratifying in a way but it also warns us that we must take some steps to require moderation in the cutting of the forest trees of South Carolina. Scientitle forestry can be made to yield a steady and inexhaustible lumber sup ply wit.nout impairin the va'ue of the forests, but few lumler companies em ploy scientitie forest.y. The General Assembly of the State shouki take some consideration of this nmat ter which is of vast. and far reaching importance. Charleston I'ost. There is no doubt that. we have been entirely too wasteful with our forests. In many places the forests are cut and burned without being put to any use whatever. It is a subject as the Post suggests of far reaching importance and the people should be reminded con stantly of it.. In traveling on one of our railroads rveently we were re minded of the wastefulness in the mat ter of our forests by the timber that was deadened and left to rot.. i f it can not be prevented in any other way there should be some legislation on the sub ject, Knowledge is power, but it is power merely because it enables us to do seme t.hing, and to do soi.iething enables us to be sol.iething, and t , be something is what constitutes character, and this last is the only thing which we can take into the worlu to come. Education is not reading and writing alone; it is reading and writing. but it is something more, something better. something higher. We read and write not as an end, but as a means. If we take what we know to be the end, we shall never do any thing. All that there is in the books, calculus, poetry, astronoly, science, whatever things may be taught to us are valuable only because they enable us to do something worth being done and t o become sonet hing wot ih being. --Governor Charles B. Aycock. The above is t 1 ie and we want. evei y white child in South Carolina given the opportunity to do something and to be something. Eduention draws out and awakens the dormant faculties and gives the mind aspirations and when properly directed aspirations to do high and noble things. Let us give every child the opportunity to strive to attain high ideals. Many times the parents are careless or indifferent. That is the rea son we favor compulsory education. The State forces us to pay tax for the education of the children because that. education better fits them for the high and responsible duty of citizenship and if that be true as it. is then the State has a right to say to the parent you give your child the advantage of this educa tion which is furnished. It will hurt no one but will help thousands of children. Educational progress means religious good.; it. inculcates a love of truth that is not to be limited. The hope of the state is not. in the cities or the big towns. The hope of the greatest future is dawning in the rural (listricts. -J.. B. Carlyle. And it is dawning because of the school houses that dot our hills through out, the rural dlistricts and the schools that. are taught in them. It is the vigor andl the manliness which comes from the rural districts which help to make our tow~ns and cities andl we want to sec these children in the rural (districts given an edlucation such as the State is able to providie so that their tastes for learning may be awakened andl once awvakened they will continue to satisfy the thirst. Attorney General Guinter it is saidi has otfered the position of assistant attorney general to Mr. W. II. Town sendl, of Barnwell, the present code commissioner and Mr. Townsend wvill accept. This is a good selection. Mr. Townsend is a young man but a close student and a hard worker and is re cognizedl as one amiong the ablest or the young members of t.he bar in this State. His wvork as codle commissioner was thoroughly and carefully done and he will be a safe counsellor as assist ant attorney genecral. We are informed that Hion. Fred 11. Dominick will be a candidate for Code Commissioner to succeed the lion. W. H I. Townsend who has been appointed assistant attorney general. Mr. D)omi nick is a young lawyer of ability and has had experience in the Legislature andl would fill the oflice acceptably. He has many friends in the Legislature and should he enter the race wvould be a formidable comp)etitor for any other aspirant. G.overner Terrell, of Georgia, has just signed an order by which he hase made one hundred Georgia Colonels. They are members of his personal staff. Several members of Gov. Candler's staff hold over and will be part of the newv staff. It is stated that at one time Gov. Stephens of Georgia had three hundred oolonels on his personal staff. E.lections will be held this year for members of congress and not being a presidential election there is not a great deal of interest manifested. It Is pos sible for the next House of Representa- i tives to be Democratic but hardly prob-| able. d Let every Democratic voter remember r1 his duty as a Democrat today and go to il the polls and cast his ballot for the norninees of the party. a e The State Fair was a iucess so far to the crowd was concerned but the axhibits grow Less each year. The at raction on the streets this year far =celled the attractions at the Fair rounds. This should not be. Those Yho manage the Fair should arouse ,oro interest in the matter of securing xhibits.

'or State officers there is only one ticket, that nominated by the Demo crats in the recent primary. The Democratic nominees for Con gress in a majority of the congressional listricts of the State have Republican ,pposition. What this opposition means is not easily to be seen. However, the movement began in all parts of the State at about the same time, and there is no doubt it has a purpose. This opposition alone, if there were no other reason, should be the cause of a full Democratic vote being polled to ilay. In this, the Third Congressional listrict, with about 16,000 Democratic 'otes and only about 1,500 Republican 'otes at most, Hon. Wyatt Aiken, of Abbeville, the Democratic nominee, is =pposed by John Scott, Republican, of Newberry. As stated, the Democratic State ticket has no opposition. It is as fol lows: STATE TICKET. For governor-D. C. Heyward, of Colleton. For lieutenant governor-Jno. T. Sloan, of Richland. For secretary of State-J. T. Gantt, if Richland. For attorney general-U. X. Gunter-, Ir.. of Spartanburg.

The question of amending Section 11 ,f Article 7 of the State Constitution, relating to counties and county govern ment, is to be voted upon. The amend nent is for the purpose of destroying the corporate existence of cer tain town ships in Greenwood, Greenville, Lau rens and Saluda. These townships some years ago issued bonds in support of a ailroad which wvas never built, and are now seeking to have their corporate ex stence destroyed in order to keep frorr paying their valid debt.

An Addre seftre the Tens fteep{e and VonureaMtin at Rbeaeser L,thee.a 4herth In uoimvte. Dr. Goo. B. Cromer on Sunday de livered an address before the young people and congregation of Ebenezer Lutheran church in Columbia. Speaking of this address, The State of yesterday says: Dr. Cromer talked of Martin Luther, and the address was not only a literary and historical treat.. but it was calcu lated to inspire the young men of the church who are preparing to organise themselves into a society. Dr. Cromer's address was analytical as well as eulogistic. Hes stated that the great man must come at the oppor. tune time and the time is opportune when the world demands it. Luther was a contemporary of Co. lumbus and his explorations, of Gutten berg and his creation of the art of printing, and of the invention of gun" powder, the great leveller of classes which put the humbler man on the same footing with the chevalier. At that time the horison of the hu man mind was being broadened and the world was ready for the work of Lu ther. He pictured Luther tho quiet but de termined monk in his work of translat ing the Testaments into. German, spending weeks on single passages in order that no one might be misled. His transalations are said to have estab lished the literature of the present Ger man empire. Luther was ordered to Worms there to answer to the pope, the greatest ecclesiastical power in the world, and to the king of the greatest nation. He acknowledged that he wrote the works which bore his name on the title page, and declined to recant when given the opportunity. Luther was all the time a monk. Ilis purpose was not to destroy, but to re form. He did not care to establish a new church, he was loyal to Catholi cism, but sought to reform and to root out evil and ei ror. He sought to tear away the human frailties built up around the true gospel. He had up to this time believed Rome to be a holy city, but he found it to be corrupt. It was not until he was expelled from the church of Rome that$he foreswore his allegiance to that church. Then followed a character delinea tion. Dr. Cromer declared that Luther to be courageous must have had faith, and faith is worth little without knowl edge. One of the uses of heroes is to furnish examples for future genera tions. We do not think of the great centres of commerce which have passed into history, but we remember the lives of their great men. Luther's life was one of integrity and love of truth. Dr. Cromer declared that his heart was made glad a few months ago by the great outpouring of people to do honor to the menory_of a greal man. The life of Wade Hampton will be remembered as a noble example. It is said of him that Hampton in hi. youth learned "to ride, to shoot and te tell the truth, Hampton always loved the truth. "We need a truth loving and a truth telling people," said Dr. Cromer. Then we come to the gentler, the more sentimental side of Luther's na ture. He was fond of music. It is told of him that once after having van quished in debate one of the proudesi monarchs in Europe he went direct te his home to enjoy the pleasures ol romping with his children. Dr. Cromer echoed Carlyle's state ment that Luther's work of reforma tion had been the beginning of a new era in the world. What can one mari do? What did this one monk do? This man of the people? The answer Is found in the lives of the French Hugue nots, in Christian America, in Holland. in England and in the German empire. In conclusion Dr. Cromer summed up the characteristics of Luther, elements of simplicity in a comination of great ness. M e'itgem. Mr. John Huffman and Miss Floyd Aull, (laughter of Mr-. A. L.
