mm*. Our VovngPMplt SndM«or to Lmth Mora «r Hi* HMorr of South Ooroiina. Mr. EdUonr-Aa far back as 1869 William Gilmore Simms said la the Preface to his histo ry of Booth Carolina: “It is la mentable to perceive the degree of ignorance in which our live with regard to events which made their ances tors famous and which have given them equal station and security. To say that the great majority of our young people know little or nothing of the history of the State is to do them no injustice, and we may equally charge this deficiency upon the old.” If such a state ment as this was warranted in 1859 in regard to the ignorant e of our people of their own State history, what might we say now of that ignorance? Arous ed to a sense of this “lament- aqle deficiency” some of the voung men and women of Dar lington have resolved to do their part toward correcting the evil and to that end have organized an evening class of students who propose to place Carolina History to the front in their studies and by way of awakening a general interest in such studies intend to have on the evening of “Thanksgiving Day ” in Armory Hall, a public exhibition of their work, with ta bleaux, recitations, readings, essays, addresses and songs to convince all who attend that this State has a history of great est interest and significance and as well worthy of consider ation as that of Greece, Italy, or England or any State of the world. It can be shown that the history of the United States is full of matters for profitable study; but we submit that there is no State in the union which has a history equally as dra matic and edifying as that of South Carolina. Our borders seem to have been marked off and set anart to exemplify in the most unique and striking manner all the features of inter est and instructvie in Ameri can civilization and the past is suggestive of a future of equal consequence and significance to students of the conditions which help or hinder human progress and happiness. It is evident that South Carolina in’destined in future to hold the most con spicuous place in the trial of American theories of govern ment. Really the post of high est honor, because of supremest trial. If our institutions can stand the strain placed on them at this point and survive they are equal to any emergency of the future. Driven at an early day by our singular circum stances and environment to the most earnest study of the Fed eral system in the purpose to secure local self-government and protection to minorities our statesman discovered principles and proposed policies which are now beacon lights to the most advanced thinkers and students of govermental arrangements in all civilized parts of the globe. Providence, it appears, has thus been fitting us for the work that now lies open before us, by a long train of events that follow each other, as cause and consequence. All present conditions, material, political, social, moral, intellectual, are lineal descendants of past con ditions and certain progenitors of future conditions. “We must recognize the truh,” says, Mr. lackey, “that there is a vi tal connection between past and present events.” Our people, therefore, should awake to the needs of the hour. Should en deavor to learn their true place and imperative duties in the cause of country and humani ty and resolve to improve every opportunity placed in their reach for the advancement of our splendid civilization. To khow the past is to be able in some sort to calculate upon and estimate the future—the course *of fevents and their po tency for good or evil. Let us begin at obce ta Investigate and study the past, each for himself and herself—the facts of our history so full of interest, so full of suggestion, should be fa miliar ta every man and wo man in South Carolina who wishes to find a place of useful ness and honor in their day and generation. Don’t forget that there will be an entertaining and instruc tive exhibition in Armory Hall on Thanksgiving Day of same features of Carolina fais- tory—her discovery, and first settlement will be as far as the first entertainment will take us. And don't forget that the liter ary class meets in a r •>m in Armory building every Wed nesday evening at 8.80 o’clock. J. J. D. MSNERAL NEWS.

Sam Jones’ lecture last night in the House of Represen- tativee was attended by all classes of people, and the house was packed, there not being standing room. His lecture was under the auspices of the Young Men’s Ohristian Association. His sub ject was “Character and Char acters.” He spoke two hours, and it is safe to say that no one was disappointed in their ex pectations of the “Rev. Sam.” That he is a man of great origi nality and force of character there can be no doubt, while there is great room for diversi ty of opinion as to his method or manner of speaking to his audience. No one can be found who will say that they were not highly entertained. He strikes from the shoulder, and calls a spade a spade, but when one hears him in full and sees his applications and illustrations he does not appear near as much ip the light of being rough and inelegant in speech as the garbed extracts which from time to time appear in the pa pers represent him.—Dewiocrof, Jacxson, Miss.
