only a few years ago to accept a!

I
iejoice that his high order of intellectual
power, as well as his
exemplary moral character, has
been thus recognized and rewarded
in the tield of employment
wherein he has elected to exercise
his remarkable talents as the
serious business of his life.
Young in years, but ripe in
experience; quiet and deferential,
but firm as a rock in standing
for principle; modest and with a
decent respect for the opiuioos of
others, yet with clear ideas and
tirm convictions, Mr Lathan has
many qualifications to support his
laudable ambition to wear worthily
the spurs that he has won: not
only to maintain the high standards
fixed by his illustrious predecessors,
but possibly to carve
his name a niche higher in the
temple of fame.
That he may succeed in adding
dignity to the high position
he now occupies is the confident
hope cherished by all who know
and esteem him for his sterling
worth.
A "goober "-natorial candidate is
ofttimes a pea nut politician.

Jty' to walk uprightly along the
nigged pathway of virtue and
morality eminently qualities him
for the bringing up of the two
little girls he hus torn away
from their mother's arms. A
palpable hit, truly!
The decision of the State supreme
court, which means the return
of the two little girls to
Mrs Lucy Dugas Tillman, elicited

home to be lionized himself.
We don't hear any more of

Peary, too, has almost disappearFrom

Every man has his weak points,
and it often happens that the
greatest weaknesses are to be
found in the strongest men.

The people of South Carolina
will never favor a law to put a

not sending his own children to
school according to other people's
notions.

of certain astronomical sharps

many expressions of approval and
gratification here. "We have not
heard a single | erson here defend

children of tender yeais from their:
mother's aims.
An important bill affecting the
public schools is that which amends i
the (ianis act so as to increase the
fund for aiding weak schools from
S^o.noO to sr,u,0ou. I'nder the
provisions uf this act no school is
allowed to participate in this fund
without levying a special tax to
raise an amount equal to that
applied for, and the help extended
to one school is limited to $100
per annum.
We would like for some member
of the House of Representatives
who voted last session for
the repeal of the lieu law and
who at this session voted against
the bill to prohibit crop mortgages,
to explain what points of
advantage the latter have over the
former?that is to say, if it be
against the welfare of the people
to allow thefti to give a lien,
why isn't it equally baneful to
permit them to mortgage their
crops before they are planted?
To a "looker-on in Vienna" there
is about the same difference as
between''tweedle-dum''and"tweedle
dee."
The bill introduced in the
Legislature to prevent corporal
punishment in the schools would
do more harm than good if it
eyer got on the 3tatnte books of
our State, being a point scored
for the law-breaker in the inevitable
conflict between authority
and rebellion. Discipline in the
schools is already too lax by far,
and the moral effect of such a
law would be felt in almost
every school. The late Sam Jones,
a great believer in the rod as a
corrective factor, said that some 1
boys had no honor, or ambition,
or shame, or conscience?nothing
to appeal to except their hides!
Captain John G Richards, in
announcing the fact tbat he has
at last yielded to the persuasive
voice of his friends, also gives
an outline of his "platform'' in his
candidacy for gubernatorial honor^
It's a long weary while before
the State campaign opens and
eftsoon the gallant Captain may
change his views on some of tne
issues, just a3 heN "looped the
