EDITORIAL NOTES.
The farm of the State Asylum
money making industry. If crazy
pie eau clear $47. per aere, ?pratt
matter with the sase farmers ?
Dr* Samps Pope still hangs on t
determination to make it hot foi
managers and instigators of the eie
frauds. The 6eid lies follow U
hand, aod he should have no diffi?
to raising a big crop of trouble for
ring of politicians who farm ballot b
for a living.
Judge Watts is the friend of
poor, persecuted dispensary consta
?ho are fined for cursing and dra\
pistols on the streets. The Jt
thinks that $5 a cuas is enough.
The whole country appears to be
over foo? ball Foot bal 1 is all rt
but the supplementary mania for 1
hair that goes with the foot ball c
is rather disgusting. -
The City Council of Columbia is
be commended, rather than con de m
for appropriating the money to rel
the necessity of the Fair Associ?t
The Fair is worth thousands of dol
every year to Columbia, and it wc
have been folly to permit the Society
be crippled for the lack of $2,500.
The travel South wilteet in ?
the North within a few weeks
earnest. In fact, the first detach me
have already scattered through
South in search of health. There is
reason why this section should not
ceive a large number of toose win
visitors,aod would, if itB adyaotaj
were made knows. They must be ?
vertised and that systematically a
thoroughly.
The proposition to . take the sob
tax fr ?rn property and supply the i
fieiency that would occur by inoreas
the poll ta?, is' bfeiog advocated by I
leadens of Ti lim an ism, who are neai
all large property owners, aod by th
mouth pieces, the pap suported pape
This is ail very wall for them, and, in<
vidually, there will be thousands of t
conservatives who will be beoe&tte
But the school interests and the po
people, who are the bene?eiers of ti
school fund, will feel the difference.
The effort of the railroad com pan i
to encourage the diversification of ero
io this section should be met fit lea
half way by the farmers. If truck ai
melons can be successfully cultivate
along the lines of the railroads in th
county, the area io cotton will 1
materially reduced, and there will I
proportionately more money brougl
into the country. If melons and true
caa be cultivated at any profit at all, '
will be better for the farmers to g
into it, rather than continue plantin
cotton at a loss.
We have it from first hands that thei
will be about 250 acres planted i
tobacco next year in addition to th
area of last season. We would o ot b
surprised to know that the next tobacc
crop was ao increase of 500 sores eve
this year's. Where tobacco has bee
carefully cultivated and cured, and tb
mistake of going inte it too extensive!;
at first bas been avoided, st has prove?
a profitable crop. The lands of Sumte
Couoty produce large crops of fin
grades of tobacco at a low cost.
The Fall Festival now under way ii
Charleston, will, it is ?aid, surpass ?oj
of the "Gala Weeks" of previooi
years. Many of us have spent picasso
days ki Charleston during Gala Week
and the Fall Festival again gives us an
opportunity that should not be neglect?
ed. Charleston on a bright sunshiny
fall or winter day leaves nothing to be
desired. Earth, air, water aod sky are
blended into a beautiful and harmocous
whole that delights the acoses and
caima that un restful longing after die
unattainable. To have seen Charleston
on such a day is to have lived : to have
sat on a bench on the Battery, basking
in the genial sunshine, as you looked
. out to sea over the rippling waves that
danced and gleamed in the sunlight, is
to have known, fora short half hour,
the untroubled delight of mere exist?
ence. Such a half hour spent on the
Battery will linger in memory a full
lifetime.
The incoming Legislature will pro?
bably make provision for the establish?
ment of a State Asylum for the Blind,
s?Dce it is deemed best to separate
blind and deaf mutes. The Cc
Springs Institute will be continued
the training and education of the mu
while the blind will be provided wii
new institution to be located in one
tb e to wo s nf the State. The local
of the school maj be determined io
same mao uer as was the location of
Bock Hill industrial College. If I
should be the plan decided op
Sumter should make ao effort
secare the school. The expense oe(
sary to obtain the school woold bc
good i D vest ment, which would, io a :
years, be repaid to the town, prioci
and interest, by the money speot io
common tty in maintaining the insti
lion; - If the Legislature does not
upon a location for the school, bot \
give H to the place offering the great
inducements, Sumter should put in
claim and back it up in a su bs tani
manner.
The extension of the 3 C's Rt
road, oow the Ohio River and Charl
too Railroad, to Sumter woold be
great benefit to Sumter and wot
promote the growth of the city in por.
latioo aod io importance as a tra
ceo ter. We woold be placed in din
communication with the grain cent*
of the Northwest, aod freight oo pro*
6?008 woold be materially reduce
This road traverses the richest a
most extensive coal and iron region
America, if not the world. We won
be on a road that woold follow aime
ao air Hoe from Chicago to the Se
board at Charleston. It would be t
shortest and most direct line fro
Chicago to the West Indies abd 'Soo
America? With this road complet
Charleston woold be by virtue of pot
t?oo the . receiving sad t disborsit
part of all *be trade betwec
Chicago ?od intermediate terri toi
?od Sooth Am?nes and We
Indies. The examination of ao a
eorate a>aj>-oot aa ordinary rail rot
map- w?ll s How that all that has bec
said concerning the importance of th
route is* true, aod more than trae,
.will not do Tor this road Xo g ive Suart<
the go by, nor do we believe that sue
will be the case, for it will be matoall
beneficial to the road and Sumtei
We are oot in favor ot voting an
large amount of bonds to the road i
ao inducement, bot any reasonable coi
cession that the road may desire w
shall heartily favor. Wheo the ros
is ready ia build through from Camdet
let the Directors plainly state what the
wish from Sumter, aod we shall the
be in a position to talk basiness.
Two men, who were leaders in thai
respective spheres, passed away ?ai
week-Dr. McCi-ih, the vene rabi e aoc
learned exp-resideot of Princeton ;6bl
lege tod Hon Robert C. Winthrop
President of the Peabody Board o
Trust. The work that they accomplish
ed is valuable io itself aod ia a heritag
to the country at large. Mr. Wiotoroj
has beec President of the Peabody
Board of Trost since the time of th<
bequest by George Peabody, who him
self selected him for the position. Undei
his wise management the Fund nas beet
a blessing to the cause of education ii
the Sooth. Dr. McCosh was for many
years the head of Princeton Collage,
aod daring his administration the Col?
lege attained a wider influence than
ever before in its history. He was a
deep thinker and was the author of sev?
eral valuable works of Psychology.
We see oo ase in publishing reports
aod romor8 concerning the amount ol
Gov. Tillman's indebtedness wheo he
was elected, wheo it was discharged
and the extent of his investments in
j real estate since. It is all a matter of
j record, aod all the facts cao be ascer?
tained from the Clerk of Coart for
Ed gefiel d Cooa ty. Mere rumors prove
nothing aod cannot materially injure
Gov. Tillman with his friends. Ooly the
actual fact*should be given. If Gov
Tillman has paid out as mach money
as rumored, ao explanation is io order.
The proposit?oo of Col. J. C G.
j Black to Thomas Watson is creditable
to him. It proves bim to be a mao
above going into office oo a fraudulent
vote. Watson most either accept the
propositioo or- by backing dowo
acknowledge that be prefers a Repub?
lican House to deeide between himself
sod Col. Black rather than the people
of the Tenth District of Georgia.
The work of the Board of Canvas?
sers completes the electioo of the men
and the adoption of measures ordered
by the Ring several moo tbs ago. We
believe that John Gary Evans received
a majority of the votes oast, bat this
fact has almost nothing to do with
the result. Had he reoeived ten
thousand less, the result would have
been the same, for the orders of the
Ring bad to be carried out. Io the
same manner that the Constitutional
Convention was railroaded through, so
would John Gary Evans have been put
into the office donated him by Ben Till?
man the bead of the ring. The elec?
tion was rotten without the shadow of
a doubt and the men who instigated the
frauds, as well as those who executed
them are not to congratulated, for they
were engaged in a very dirty and dis
graceful piece of business.
IDEALS.
The strange phenomena in the growth
of mind is the persistence with which
things and persons are regarded as
different from what they are. The
mind creates ideals for itself, and makes
them surround familiar friends, or imag?
inary characters, as with a halo.
Yet Ideals are essential to the
growth and perfect development of the
mind, and of heart as well. The crea
don of ideals is self-imposed mental
athletics, and under benign influences
the mind and heart-character it really
is-expands and a noble man or woman
is the perfected product ; under Other
influences a warped and miserable
caricature of man as he was iotended
to be, or a libel on womanhood is the
result.
Bot ideals, like all structures by
human hands erected, or by finke mind
conceived, fade, fall, crumble, vanish,
when built around or upon a person or
personality. The true ideal partakes
less of clay and more of the spirit than
any other conception of the brain. An
id?al worthy of a life's imitation is the
very essence of rational thought and
true feeling. With such an ideal as an
inseparable companion, man is superior
to the mutations of time, the hate and
avarice of men or the deceit and fickle?
ness of women His mind is a king
dom! peopled with tire noblest, best and
purest, beyond which he need not go
in search of companions. None may
enter therein without permission. But
this kingdom cannot be attained in a
day-a yeal- ; aud^&any ?ii M ?e
outside after a lifetime of more than
the allotted three score and ten. They
set up human frailty as the ideal itself,
and when humanity falls the ideal for
these, falls also, but, unlike humanity,
falls to rise no more. Humanity is
false, and ideals built upon humanity
are false likewise and doomed to over?
throw. Attributes are true, thus ideals
embodying truth, honor, sincerity,
justice tenderness, faith, hope and
charity are true and imperishable.
Such an ideal is impersonal, therefore
may not be destroyed by time.
Friends and companions are tested and
tried by the impersonal conception.
Those that are dear may be endowed by
fancy, with the attributes of the ideal,
but if a fair face aod an honest voice be
bot disguises for a false heart and a
deceitful tongue, the slow and sore trial
by comparison with the true, reveals
the falseness aod deceit. A friend ia
not lost, but a disguised enemy has
been unmasked, and though the human
companionship may be missed, and at
times, we may sigh for the hand-clasp
that was not cemented by sincerity, or
long for the caress of the lips that were
false, it is but the shadow of a floating
cloud in a bright and etherial sky. Look
beyond and above ! The sky is blue and
serene above the marriog olond, as.well
as on either hand. So with the disap?
pointments of life, the false hearts and
deceitful lips of pretended friends. They
are the marriog clouds ; our ideals, the
sky, extending to the utmost bounds of
our thoughts and feelings. With an
ideal of truth, as a familiar companion,
the spirit sorrows not, that "we are
such stuff as dreams are made of," but
looks beyond the sleep, rounding oor lit?
tle life, to an eternity that will be even
more than a realization of its noblest
conceptions.
