T-hesuromar school which lias1 been in session here several weeks : dosed last gridav, ami the faculty ; and student-teachers have all gone j home. The last two davs of the 1 school were devoted to examinations covering the sludies the! ? I teachers had gone over, and they a!i breathed a sigh of relief when their work was completed. The result, of the examination has not' yet been declared, and will not be | knownfersome time. As soon as; all the papers have beer. passed ! upon the result will he aunounc-j ed. The session of the .-ichool was! a busy or.e. The teachers worked j hard and endeavored to make the; most of their time. Hut we have! I crave doub.s -v< to the results be-! * lag a' all sati>factory, and are in-! elined to think that I tie monev : used to run the school con Id have beet, more judiciously expended. Thej'e is great demand for longer 1 lernn for the public schools, an 1 if i the $o0.)0 invested in operating! summer schools were applied in j this direction, it would no doubt ' ' - - ! yield better results, The am hi-! tious and enterprising teacher,: whose heart is in'his work, and! who seeks to measure up to his responsibilities, has ample oppor-j tunities for fitting himself for the I eilicient performance of his work.! Is it any more the duly of tlie j State to e^uip teachers for their | work than people of other traces; anil professions-? There is i food lor thought along this j line and our candidates for! the legislature would do well to! " I give this matter serious consideration to I lie end of applying the money thus ruthlessly suuandered to the public schools where it rightfully belongs THE UNION TIMEJ. With its last issue our able and esteemed contemporary, the Union Times, completed its 50th volume, '/or littv years this enterprising journal has successfully weathered the adversities of newspaper life, and has permanently established itself in the hearts and homes of its constituents. The writer is personally familiar with the varied, vicissitudes through which the Times lias passed, and heartily felicitates, it upon the splendid success it iias achieved over all opposing obstacles. - ' * v With the Foyers in China it is a question of peace first and peaces afterward..

Editor Coanty Record: Having, been, kept, from the county campaign meetings on aconmt f\( siplrnpw in rav* familv I' dee.n it onlv justice to myself and I ; to (hose who would support me to jgive. through the columns of our county papers, the substance ot I what I should have said had it [ been my pood lortune to attend; [ our meetings: | If elected to the legislature I; , promise you that I hall bear in mind the significance of the word! representative. My watchword [shall be represent, and my highest endeavor shall be to iind out ' the wishes of my constituents, and ! to act in accordance with their; wishes. It lias been said that the1 | representative should mould the; minds of his people. William Jennings Hry.m did not seem to j bold this view when he said in his 1 speech at Columbia that if he were; (failed 0:1 to choose a motto for a j legislator it would be "A servant | of his? people." Our own Hen i lTillman savs a statesman should; dead the people, out lie should! lead lhem the way they want to' go. Now. uiy idea ot the proper; legislator concurs with the views) above expressed by these men. j In a democratic country the people are light, "The voice of the j people is the voice ol God," and 1 those who are chosen to represent j them should endeavor to represent I ;\ ma j city of his constituents. On ; entering our legislative halls uj representative should reason afte?\ this manner: My people eantn t come here to make ami unmake laws for themselves, it was tie-1 cessary tiiat they elect men to represent them, to act for them. They have chosen me as one to do this. I must now uq longer ask; what will profit me most, but what > do my people want?what do they | want?what would they do if they j were here? Having answered i this question satisfactorily, he should act in accordance with that j answer with out regard loindivid-j ual interests or wishes, Nor do! these requirements of a proper representative rob him of thu| privi ege of his own convictions.! No man is worjhy to represent so' great a people who i< void of con-1 victions. What 1 wish to etnpha size is: A legislator's ideas ot; government should al all liuies in! hi., official capacity be made sub-,' servient to the ideas ol the people) he represents. Now as to n;y position on the) principal questions that confront| us in State politics. The whiskey problem lias agitated our people lor generations, i and I see no immediate prospect of a solution satisfactory to all The dispensary is in favor with most of our people. It is certainty i far in advance of the old licence j system in that it has materially lessened drunkenness and what ie< better has removed the social) Jsjlass lroo? the boys of our state, j I If elected I promise you to support j the dispensary unless I may be) j other wise ordered by a majority ! i vote of the people of WillianisI burg county, to whom alone I | shall look for direction 111 all ! such matters. Ill my estimation the educating ! al question stands paramount in ; ttate politics today. The centers I of population have always had (food schools. Now there is no j village or town in our state that i bus not its high school or graded i school ruining from 8 to 10 months I a year, but how it it with our I country schools? We have not) made such rapid strides in progress along this line as in other j matters. In mauy sections school j facilities are little better than tliGy | were 25 years ago. The schools) : number more, but the children doi ' too, what we need is inoreaso iu * -i i l.L _r 4 t .1 _t ' mo lengia ui leiiii ui ui?o a^tiuum. i Thai will tell o! our progress. In j the comrupn t school lies the strength of our nation. We can % : not ailord"to neglect them. I believe that our confederate , ?oldiors hhonl4 receive liberal pension at our Jaand. Those who are interested in tho: stock pastures of our county I wish to assure, shall, not in any| way be molested by ine ii elected. I wish only to add that I do not believe iii burdening our execu? live department with unnecessary unpractical and impopular J'vrs. If elected I shall feel it my duty to oppose nil bills that I do not believe would be a positive factor i in bettering the condition of our, | county.
