: that while Sum ter had and- sop

f J^^^Mmall wrong. We have excellent
iostitotioos of learning here for onr
&irls, what fatal obstacle is it that pre
cludes the establishment of similar
schools for cmr boys ? We believe the
only obstaclev.an?Vriiat not ao in saper
> able one, is the want of interest in the
project. An interest may and moat be
created in tba matter, unless we would
hunch oar beys iia ??fer under a terrible
disadvantage. Yon may ask any man
wbe bas not enjoyed such advantages,
what ? is that cripples him most of all?
and he will nndonbtedly make answer,
*uhc want of a proper education;
- ^ Men may make money without mach
, ?dacatw?, but it is a high price to pay
-r for it. There:are many things that are
better worth having than money.
't^^bem^?syfe?ow
naturally is the wake of an educa?on,|
Colmre, refinement, good manners and
good morai^j, is?sHictoal enjoyment,
^he appreciation of all tha? Is great and
derating in &he history of the human
race ; ?these are some of the un pur
chasable enjoyments that come only by
Oar girls, we seem to think, receive
benefit from education. Why should
. not our boys ? There is not an argu
ment that can be adduced in tarer of
female education that is not equally ap
plicable to male education. If it is
good lor one, it is good for both* Be
sides, history demonstrates that when
ever and wherever, and from whatever
anse? women become the superiors of
men, it is a sore indication of d?t?riora*
tum among the people among whom
each a phenomenon is manifested. The
saxes seem to change places and equal
ities when such a development occurs,
and women being denied seeess to many
?f the employments and occupations of
men, busy themselves about things
which they had best leave alone, while
the men growing daily io effeminacy of
character, and mental insipid cess, lose
ibe?r manhood aud love of country, and
at! thai distiugui-Ites genuine civility.
The way is thus paved for that people
to be swept awsy tsd their civilization
despoiled. Greece and Rome arc typ
ical cases. We are not sore that Spain
is not a good modern instance of the
same truth. We know communities in
onr own State where the same thing is
very manifest, viz : the superiority of
women over the men. List lessees* is
the chief characteristic of such men.
They are only waiting for some man?
some real, g?noise man?to come
along and reap all the advantages of the
situation.
Shall we condemn oar boys to sny
each fate ? Our girls now are superi
ors of our boys?they are better edu
cated and more ieSned. It is time for
this to stop. Let as work for the male
school. L
IMPERATIVELY NEEDED.
For the last ten days or two weeks,
the night train to the mountains has
been discontinned. We understand
that the discontinuance is due to a
breach of faith on the part of the Rich
mond and Danville system, and then
violation of contract with the Atlantic
Coast line. This charge comes from
the Coast Line people, and it is not
nnHkely that if we could bear from the
o?her side, there would be a similar
charge made against the Coast Line.
Bat whsvaver be the true state of the
ease, theicoo^ent public are the suffer
er*.
it, seems to be, and is, a hard case
that when railroads quarrel, those who
: maintain them and by whose patronage
vthey . exi**, a&oold be the ?refp?ees ?i> 1
tims. We were under the impression
tbk^- il was to^Yo?d snd obviate all
such eonticgeucTes that tbe Railroad
Commisiion was created by the Legisla
ture. If such is the fact, it follows
that a question of this kind should not
te left open, hat settled at once. If
the railroads interested do not take the
steps necessary to a settlement, the B.
R. Commissioners should exercise the
powers vested in th??, end take die
proper means of relieving the incon
venienced and suffering publie. As it
sow stands, persons desirous of going
to the moan tains are compelled to leave
nil points in this vicinity before daylight
and remain in Colombia several boars,
before their train leaves. Either this,
or remain over nil night in Colombia,
one of the hottest places, at this season,
Ion the continent, especially in the
boJeU. On the South Carolina road, a
I train leaves Charleston at 7 a. mi^and
j reaches Columb'a in time to connect
with a train leaving that city for Green?
ville," Sparenburg, and Walhalla, at
W?5 ?mJlt the 8. C. B.R can make
the trip in three hours and twenty-live
minute?, we are quite sure the Ccaat Line
can do tbe same thin g. By tnakiog fewer
stops, tbe distance could be covered in
less time. Seen now. making fourteen
*tog?? the "Colombia special** makes
the trip in three boors and forty-five
min?tes. : Every stop costs three min*
utea, so we are informed. By stopping
only at Lanes, Manning sod Sumter
thirty minutes could be saved, and the
trip made from Charleston to Colombia
by 10.20 a. m , which would establish
a connection with the train over the
Columbia and Greenville road.' It
would be a close connection, it is true,
hot if the latter road would cede only
five minaten and leave at 10 30 instead
of 10.25, the whole trouble would be
averted. It is n shame for great corpo
rations' to behave like babies, and get
up such a quarrel over a matter of five
min?tes I
THE PRIMARY PLAN.
The time has come when every man,
however humble though be may be,
not only desires bat demands it as his
sacred right that he be allowed to east
his vote for whoever he pleases. This
is his prerogative nod it should not be j
abriged in the least. It is democracy <
in the truest sense, tbe nearest possible
approach to that government which is
declared to be of tbe people, by >be
people and for the people, and the only
way the people will be best satisfied
with a man of their own specific choice.
In th?bry the convention plan may be
til right bat some now or other it don't
work to the satisfaction of the-people.
Et places the man and the people away
off from each other. * The gap between
is too great. The-convention may be
beautiful in theory hot it Is very oo
latiifactory in practice. Often the
Ban nominated in convention is a
itranger, more or less, to the people,
pet he is palmed off and passed as tbe
man of their choice. This unfortunate
result can only be avoided by adopting
the primary mode of nominating any
tod all candidates to aoy and all offices.
Th w is in harmony with the policy med
principles of the d?mocratie party, and
it is the only fair, open, square, bold,
true plan after ?II. The wire"" pullers
rejoice in the convention plan and by
their chicanery tbey make it a thing of
obstruction, destruction snd miscon
struction of the wishes of the people.
This is likely to happen in any conven
tion and it is for this reason that the
people are in favor of the primary to
settle the question as to who is
the man of their choice for Solicitor
from Sumter County, snd the plea for
the primacy for this purpose is placed
upon 'he broad and solid ground that
the people themselves sod not a few
wire pullers ought to be allowed to se
lect the candidate who in their opinion
is the best qualified aJi-rouod man to
discharge the dattes of that office.
This will be an important step in the
right direction and one which will give
the people an opportunity of seeing,
hearing and knowing tbe man for whom
they are to ca?t their votes for Solicitor
from Sumter County.
IF?
If all the ''competent and deserving'*
men and patriots who are willing to as
sume tbe burdens of office, could
be elected at one and the same time, to
the rffi es for which they and their
friends think them fit, what an ava
lanche of talent, industry, intelligence,
wisdom and character, would fall on
oar coantry ! Where does it all hide
itself in tbe interval* between elections f
What cruel fate is it that condemns
these flowers of patriotism to blush un
seen year after year in solitary and
hopeless efflorescence? What awful
Nemesis that condemns these gems of
purest ray to live out tbe most of their
existence io the dark, onfathomed caves
of the ocean of republican ungrateful
cess ? We do not add the word "se
vere,*' because we sre not sure that it
applies either to these numerous spec
imens of patriotism or to the uoexam*
pled caverns of tbe mighty deep, in
these days of earthquakes, and erup
tion? of all sorts, from measles to Ves
uvius* volcanic violence. Our hope is
that those who are defeated shall take
their disappointment io good part.
And that our County will always have
so many and suoh good men to select
from.

The Republicans of the Senate Judi
ciary Committee did a cowardly thing
when they reported the nomination of
Mr. Fuller to be Chief Justice of the
United States, without recommendation,
to the Senate. They acknowledge,
when, spoken to individually, that all
the chargea against Mr. falter were en*
tirely without foundation, and yet, for
political reasons, tbey refuse to join the
Democrats of the Committee in making
a favorable report lipon bis nomination.
If the Republican Senators can, no w*
ever., afford to take such a position be*
rove the conn try, the Democrats need
not complain. Mr. Fuller will be con
firmed without a doubt, already four
Republican Senators?Messrs. Farwell,

to be willing to vote for bis confirma
tion.
Postmaster General Dickinson has
written a letter to chairman Bloutof
the House Committee on Post Offices,
in which he vigorously opposes the
Senate amendment to the Post Office
appropriation bill known as the 'sub
sidy amendment,' which appropriates |
$800,000 to provide more efficient mail
service between ..the United States and
Sooth America. The PostmsHter Gen
eral says this legislation is neither de
manded nor required, nod that the re
sources and powers of the Pest Office
Department bare 010 ved adequate to
afford citiseos of thu United States a
mail service equal to and in most cases
superior to that of any nation in the
world.
After showing that American steam
ships are paid four times the rates for
which foreign vessels are willing to
carry American mails, the Postmaster
Genera! says :
'With great respect to the framers of
the bill, I do seriously' object to that
provision of. the proposed legislation
which places the mail service at the
mercy of any individual or corporation.
While, indeed, the subsidised; lines
might be compelled to carry the mails,
if tendered, yet, the Department should
be independent, and should be at all
times enabled to send the mails by the
most expeditious routes, and make use
of the best facilities afforded for that
purpose from among all the carriers
ottering. The Department should be
free to take advantage cf ail sailings, of
increased facilities coming from increas
ed business, of changes for the better
vrought by time, extension of com
nerce and comp?tition, and should not
oe tied up for a decade to single lines
>f communication, an stimulated to im
provement and progress by the exist*
;uce of a settled, inordinate and certain
oeotne.' Since"~the Postmaster Gen
;raPs letter wss written the House of
Representatives hss refused to concur
0 this smesdment.
Daring the absence of Secretary
pairehild this week, the Treasury De
partment bas been ably presided over
>y Assistant Secretary Thompson.
The Postmaster General has also
rr Uten another letter?one to the Pr?s
dent?in which he makes tr formal pro
eat against the proposed extension of
he classified civil service to include the
ail way postal service.
One day was wasted in the House
his week by filibustering against the
'acifie railroads bill, and the Fourth
ras a holiday, so that one-third of the
reek was lost. Still considerable prog*
ess was made with the Mills bill, and
t is now predicted by the members of
he Ways and Means Committee that
he tariff bill will be passed by the
loose inside of 30 days
' Senator Vest and Representatives
Hills, Ford, Hooker, MeCreary, Shive
y, Maisb, and Cummtngs went to New
fork on the Fourth to take part in
tammany's grand jubilee and ratifiea
ion meeting.
The President spent the Fourth at
its desk working at the bills which
lave been sent him by Congress for ap
>roval.
The Senate added $912,000 to the
iver and hsrbor bill in the shape of
amendments and theo passed it. The
otal amount appropriated by it is $22,

The letter-carrier's law cannot be

The County Commissioners office being one
of great importance to tbe tax-payers of our
County it behooves the people to put a man

ion, such a man, and we believe will make a
good County official, we desire to present

FOR SCHOOL COMMISSIONER.
We take pleasure in announcing tbe name
of JOHN T. GREEN, Esq., a graduate of
Woffbrd College, as a candidate for the office
of School Commissioner. For a number of
years he was identified with the educational
interest in Darlington County, during which
time he was instrumental, as principal teach
er, in building up one of the finest schools in
that county. He has exhibited not only a
taste but an increasing interest in the cause of
education since he came into this county.
We feel satisfied that his courteous manners
would be roo3t agreeable to the lady teachers
with whom he would necessarily be brought
in contact and that the cause of education
not on); in public schools but in private
schools, as well, would be fostered and en
couraged under bis supervision.
July 11. FRIENDS OF EDUCATION.

FOR SHERIFF.
The undersigned announces himself a can
didate for re-election to tbe office of Sheriff.
Having discharged the duties during bis term
of office, faithfully, and to the best of bis
ability, he confidently appeals to the voters of
Sumter County for a continuance of their
confidence and support.
July 11. MARION SANDERS.
The office of Sheriff should be filled by a
man who is qualified to discharge its duties
in every department, and who not only pos
sesses the ability to manage the office but who
has the nerve backed by a cool, clear bead,
quick to perceive and prompt and firm to dis
cbarge his duty in any emergency. As such
tbe name of Capt. D. E. KEELS is presented
to tbe favorable consideration of the Demo
crats of Sumter by his
July 4 SUPPORTERS.
The people of this County are aroused to
the hid that the Sheriff's Office is one of tbe
most important in their gift and that a man
qualified in every respect to discharge the
duties of the same should be elected and none
other to such a responsible position. Actu
ated by such feelings the friends of Sumter
County now nominate Mr. T. J. BAKER for
Sheriff. Mr. Baker is well and favorably
known to the people and needs no formal
introduction at our hands, but we can truth
fully say that when the time comes for them
to cast their votes for ^Sheriff, no better
or truer man can be selected for that office
than T. J. Baker.
July 4. TOWN AND COUNTRY.
The many friends of Capt. E. SCOTT
CARSON beg to announce bim as a candi
date for Sheriff at ensuing election subject to
action of Democratic party.
The subject of this announcement is one
who is well deserving of consideration at tbe
hands of tbe voters of Sumter County; one
who, by reason of a severe wound received in
his State's cause during the terrible conflict
between tbe States, has be<?n incapacitated for
life from doing tbe lightest of manual labor;
and, since the remuneration of the emolu
ments of an office at the hands of the voters of
Sumtrr County is all, possibly, that be can
expect, we put in nomination Me. ROBERT
W. JENKINS, of Providence Township, for
Sheriff of Sumter County. Mr. Jenkins is a
quiet, sober, reserved Christian gentleman,
and deserves well done to him.
