V From all reports it seems tha the negro conference rccentl held in Columbia was a pleasan and most profitable one; and on feature at least was characteristii ?moderation in speech. * * * The improvement of the ol cemetery is a most worthy canst Some one has said that the spiri of a people may be guaged by th reverence paid their dead: this i indeed true. Let us then beautif and continue to care for this spc in our midst, around which cluste our most sacred memories. * * * Last Tuesday, January 2?>tl was the birthday of William Mt Kinley, twenty-fifth president o the I'nited States. His record i the army, in congress and in th president's chair is in itself a glow ing tribute to his memory. 1 may be safely said that no othe president of the Republican part has ever been so popular in th South as President Mc Kinley. \ * * * We again assert our belief i . the principles of prohibition i ?' dealing with the lienor traffic. W .*r* ,.e^r^ci?e?r?fPM<v r,call it. We see nothing but evil resulting from the evil thing, and therefore we shall not cease to write and talk and strive for the overthrow of this wicked thing. * * * The investigation of the charges against Senator Joseph \\*. Bailey, continues in the Texas legislature. We cannot but express the hope that he may be cleared of all these charges, and that he may yet be a power among the Democratic! forces of the senate. But, and it' is a natural consequence, his strength will be lessened and his influence diminished by the events j now transpiring, even though he comes out clear. * * * With this issue m* Ti.? t*~? ... * in. i moil limes. Mr. S. K. Honey will seven his connection with the paper. Mr.' Honey has worked untiringly to C make the paper what it is.?a first- 1 class weekly, and while we regret n to see him go, we wish him sue- a1 cess in his new field, lie will he- M come traveling representative for th the Xews and Courier, assuming m his new duties today. fa Mr. Honey has made many1 ca friends during his stay in Union, oo and is a young man who deserves'as the highest success. The News pe and Courier is to be congratulated po upon securing him as a represen- lie tative. Me will do valuable service dis in the work entrusted to his hands, ant .We have already engaged a sue- atp cessor to Mr. Boney, and will an- g'x nounce his name next week. ?ve * * A . A i The most disgusting spectacle before the American public tnHa? J _ *? . ? ? J r ro is tne I haw trial. All the com- Ant mon filth of the gutter; the doings ' f>f the lowest class of people on A earth is given most nauseating prominence and publicity. It is no And more than the usual story of immorality and crime; and yet, be- q cause the woman in the case was a noted actress and the man a millionaire, the columns of the news- sang papers are filled with the story of Vaga t the trial and all the main details this < incident thereupon. But why do whist the newspapers print this stuff? and 1 Because it sells. The public lovci.younj such reading, and the more sen- J?v. sational the "stuff" (not news) the Fly bigger the sale. What think we tion < of ourselves in patronizing such the " as this? eight 5 ; Hbiilf Ibtlg will thedispensary _ advocates , cling to their idol? There seems to be no* limit to the persistent flinging and supporting of this corrupt and corrupting inY stitution on the part of its friends. - The latest situation ^ to come to E light is the proof tfiat the enormous stock of liquors on hand at - the State dispensary is the result of illegal buying. It appears that - Director Black made a purchase t8 of $125,000 worth of liquors in a manner not laid down in the rules - and regulations under which sup* plies are to be purchased. This r. information comes to the commit tee appointed by the present leg* islature to investigate the State >o dispensary from officers of the dis;o pensary itself. The report of thA rs! committee appointed by the leg ! islature appears on another page j in this week's issue of The Times. ?i ,0 South Carolina Live Stock Association. :r Program of the fifth annual e' meeting, Feb. 7th and 8th, 1907, L. council chamber of city hall, Co1 luinbia, S.

"hicago one weeka go last night, en 'housands who read his books and 'nn lagazine articles are probably tin-' ware that Flynt's real name was j rig /illard, that he was a nephew of itea ic late Francis Willard and a'be ember of a prominent Illinois wh milv. Flynt could easily have cuj rued an annual income of $20.- use o and was known to have made alln much as $1,000 a week by his sep; n. 1 tut the call of the road was pug tent in his ears, and the moment coll had earned sufficient money to charge temporary indebtedness 1 provide a little for the immedifuture,, he laid down the >se-rjuill and donned a pair of rails and a leather cap.

Richard Hovey, the poet of tbondia. And Flynt answered call into Arcadv where April les and the clod-wisps float the skies are blue and the * leaves seem to sing with nt was a living exemplificaof the irresistible power of wander-lust." Only thirtyyears old at the time of his death, he had tramped in every civilized country of the globe, wearing the costume of the working class of each particular natioti he wandered through. He was a friend of Isben and had been entertained at various times by Leo Tolstoi. He knew the vagrant ' class of practically every nation and in America was dubbed "king of tramps." Josiah Flynt was no amatetr tramp, such, for instance, as was Walter Weckoff, the Princeton professor who ambled from one city to another and from one calling to another in summer, and j wrote books and taught students in winter. Flynt was always a genuine tramp eleven months out of the year, as actually a tramp as though starvation faced him each day. By the time he was 24 years old, he had tramped over America east of the Rockies and had been abroad. It was then that his first book, "Tramping with Tramps," appeared. He was a persistent and thorough student of the wonderful underworld, and on this are his books such as "Powers that Prey," "Notes of an Itinerant Policeman," "The World of Graft," and "The Little Brother" founded. His last work, "My Life,?So Far" is now appearing serially in Success. The title has a pathetic significance in view of his death. Flynt was no mere theorist, for he had studied America from the back door and the kitchen window. His books are valuable, as was his life. Besides him, Jack London and Upton Sinclair are but tyros in sociology.?The State. The Paradox of Poorly Paid Teachers. Perhaps the most unjust and contradictory things in our ad-| vancing civilization is the steadvl I position which our teachers hold | at the foot of the list of those who arc paid for valuable services in |our countrv. )' We have recently registered a slight advance in the city of Atlanta which is commendable and promising of better things in the vears to come. Not even here in this capital of Georgia are the teachers paid as they should be, but the fact that there has been some recognition of the necessity of a larger reward for valuable service is a step in the right direction and gives the hope uL r?mti"ut-d urutrress. _ .?~ nu ? |\Tib~iK\st .and most important of all a our public services should receive w the smallest modicum of pav. In w commenting several days ago up- pi on the advance in the salary of the si Atlanta teachers, we called atten- cs tion to the fact that there were ar men who drove the night soil carts to along the streets after dark,?the Ipc most menial of employments,?! who received better rates than the patient and faithful teachers who toiled over the mind and >r O- - ? me cniid who is to make the . oundation and the hope of the 4 uture.
