An education is incomplete which does not place a noble purpose behind mental training and make the hands willing to work. 1 know of no more imperative need today than that there should he a clear recognition of the law of rewards, namely, that each person is entitled to draw from society in proportion as he contributes to the welfare of society. This law is fundamental. It conforms to that s mso of justice what forms the broad basis of social intercourse and f'*' - - - ' a firm foundation for government. (\V.

The right of self government is dear to the heart of every American citizen, having l>een one of the most attractive and commendable clauses in the constitution, the people cling to the principle as most vital to ] their welfare and liberty. The | policy, wisdom and advisability of giving to the people of every locality the right of local option is questionable, for when left to the ballot the result does not always express the sentiment and wishes of the majority. The right of self government, a government of the people, by the people and for the people, is purely Democratic, and when wisely and properly administered is most satisfactory and successful. History, however, does bear one out in saying that it has ahvyas proved the best to submit to the people every issue, for in many instances tin; people have gone wildly wrong,that was ever aftor to them a source of profound regret, since it is a very difficult matter in many cases to correct an error. People as a people frequently make grave mistakes and commit errors 41 V 1 1 1 -4 .11 Fwi miu iit'Hu aim iiui oi xnc neart. Jn the exercise of that great and glorious privilege of local self government the- masses should not go blindly or l>e lead by fanatics into vdoing anything without due reasoning as to the result of their acts, not only upon the immediate comBf munity hut upon ncighljoring counties and states. What might be of some material lament to us, might eventually result in great detriment JjL-- to our neighliors. There are always two sides to a question, sometimes four. In considering a question we bold to bo of great benefit to ourselves, we should view it in the light of how this w ill effect the' public generally, and thus eliminate j every selfish motive. I 1 To avail themselves of tho right of local option is now agitating the minds of the people in several counties in this state. Some hfivc exercised it and voted ovrt the dispell- t sary. It is always well to consider \ calmly and dispassionately so as to see clearly or as clearly as is within the grasp of men's minds to tell of 1 the future before taking any steps * in any direction, for it frequently \ happens that people do not know 1 when to let well enough alone. Tho question has already been asked. i "Vote out the dispensary, what j then?"' Wc are in for anything , that will blot out the manufacture ] and sale of whiskey. First convince ' us of what that is, that will bring altout this delightful and desirable . state of affairs and we arc with you < heart and soul. Past history has < shown that local legislation is powerless to suppress the sale of ' whiskey, therefore nothing short of j national legislation; an act of congress providing for its limited niafiu- 1 facture and restricted sale will have ] any tendency to lessen the evil, even then it would take a standing j army of thousands to enforce the 1 law. In the face of these facts we S must conclude that public senti mcnt, the education of the people, the women more especially, to look j with contempt and abhorrence t upon all who drink. Let the women say and stick to it, "The lips that ' touch whiskov shnll nnvrn* 1 mine." r Jonesville News.

The continued and systematic ;alse reports of cotton acreage and ;rop reports given out by the agricultural department of the. government and that these reports were m the hands of speculators and their press organs liefore reaching the agricultural department excited i great deal of suspicion and indignation. The government undertook to investigate the leakage and the cotton growers association the source from whence the reports :omc. The following will throw some light on the fraud being practiced by government employees: Some very sensational discoveries ire Iniing made as the investigation r>f the "leaks in the crop reports" from the agricultural department progresses. A government fliocial, who is taking an active part in the investigation, in conversation with the News and Courier correspondent Friday said in substance: "Chief Wilkie, of the secret service bureau, who has the investigation in hand, has made some startling discoveries, which may involve not only Assistant Statistician Holmes, hut also Chief Statistician Hyde, who is now in Europe, and >ne of the femalo clerks in the lgricultural department who handle the data upon which the cotton ::rop reports are based. While Home of the evidence ia circumstantial, enough has already been disclosed to show that advance information on the cotton crop report, and also other reports which affect speculation, has reached a few Htock brokers through the medium of 'a woman.' The woman in the case is said to be one of the three persons to handle the figures for the last time before the official report is promulgated. This woman, who, it is jaid, receives $50 a month salary, lias recently Ixiught a comfortable residence in this city and furnished t in fine style.
