WIL.TILLMAN BE A PROHIBITIONIST? it now begins to look as if Senator Tillman is endeavoring to create an issue whereby he can have an excuse to disown his child-the Dispensary-by mak ing his campaign for re-election two years hence, upon an anti Tillman-anti-Dispens a r y-a n t i - Reform-Movement-Platform, in order to head off the Prohibition - -ists from butting into his seat in the United States Senate. Poli tics create queer surprises: we have seen Prohibitionists, weary of long waiting for political pre ferment, renounce their religious principles that they too might again, sit in the temple with Tillman, even though he be unholy: the charm of office >being more enticing than the humdrumness of a meek and _Jowly religion; but alas, and alack, after hearing the omi nous rumblings, and seeing that fearful warning written In letters of enlightment and resentment upon the walls of Cherokee County, here comes the chief sinner, Senator B. R. Tillman, in an interview, in which he leaves his dispensary converts from. the prohibition ranks, stranded high and dry upon the dispensary rocks, while he grapples for the life-lines hanging over the sides -of the anti-Dispensary ' ship, ~ making for the haven of Prohibition. Senator Tillman's interview souds like the last notes of the dying swan; his suggestion to ' farm out" the dispensary, he knows will not be acceptable to the people, and he also knows the dispensary, as at present managed, "cannot be made like Caesar's wife. above suspicion." "The Senator is staggering under the blow he received at Cherokee and is groping about for a soft place to lie down. We believe another such blow will bring him to the place where he will see political death if he clings tp his unmanageable off-spring, or a chance for* co)ntinued life if he disinherits it, and it will not surprise us in the least, to hear SSenator Tillman apologizing for his utterance that "no honest Ema~n can vote for the Brice Bill," ard, if be thinks it will help him win out, imitate the reform drunkards temperance lecturers by confessing his entire connec Thon with the dispensary, pro fessing peniitence and asking forgiveness. We do not agree with the Sen ator's position, that "it is im practicable and ill advised to have county management ofthe dispensaries." He suggests "that the same incentive" which "now actuates one board to making money out of the dispensary, would exist among forty boards, and that if there is corruption in one central board it would be spread out among forty boards." It is not impracticable, if the people want a dispensary, to run it successfully under county con trol, for the reason, if the people are endowed with the power to create or remove the dispensary, they will if they decide to create one, place such guards about it as will protect it from corrup tion; because, they will feel that if stealing creeps into it they are themselves robbed, and they will not submit to it. To make a suc cessful management of such an institution by county control, the managing board should consist of the Mayor of the town, the county Supervisor and the fore man of the Grand 'Jury. This would be a board constantly be ,~ing chaig~ed, and they should be required to make their pur chases in public, and publish in the county newspapers the quan tity and brands bought, from' whom bought, anid the pricesI paid. With these safeguards there would . be little room for corruption; the people would be interested and the com peting distilleries would watch the prices paid for the goods. There will not be the same in centive to steal under county and municipal control as there is un der State control. In the first place, on the boards as we sug gest, there are different interests represented,s the personnal con tinudgating, then ,the pufr licityat as a check, and the small amoumit that ivould be involved would leave little room for spoils. County control can be operated more successfully than State control, and if the legislature will give the people an oppor tunity to test it, we sincerely be lieve the liquor question in our State will be solved, but if it persists in enacting laws which tend to deprive the people of their legitimate rights, well may1 Senator Tillman heed the warn ing on the walls of Cherokee, capitulate with the opposition, and beg for a ride to the United States Senate on the water wag on, for as sure as fate, the peo ple are tired of being forced _to inhale the stench that is contin uall ariin from the State dis pensary, and they arc restive under the tyrannical legislation which prevents them from hav ing a voice in their government without first submitting to an intolerant taxation, levied as a punishment for not meekly sub mitting to a crew of notoriously suspected robbers.

On last Friday Arbor Day was ob served by the ;upils and teachers of the Moses Levi~Memorial Iastitute. A large number of visitors was present, among them being many of the patrons of the school. Those who attended seemed highly pleased with the rendi tion of the day's program. The general impression the pupils made, and the entire influence resulting from the ob servance of Arbor Day. To the Su perintendent and teachers and the three hundred pupils. at least, the day's exercises were well worth the time and the effort employed, for much genuine enthusiasm was displayed throughout. Eleven trees were planted out, ten of which were placed in the ground by the respective ten grades with appropriate formality. This feature of the day's ex ercises took place between ten and twelve o'clock. The following form of ceremony was followed, taking the grades in this order: Second, third, and fifth, fourth, sixth, seventh, eight, ninth, and tenth. 'In the class room a member was select ed as flag-bearer, then two lines were formed, being headed by the pupil elected to present the tree, and the other by the pupil elected to receive the tree, in the name of the class. The Superintendent led the procession with the class following in the above ar rangement and the teacher coming be hind the pupils. The flag-bearer hav ing stopped by the hole previously pre pared, the two lines of pupils divided here and stood on each side of the hole. As the tree was placed in position, the class presenter stepped forward and holding the tree addressed his class mates. In turn the class receiver took a similar position and formally accepted the tree for his classmates. Then each puil placed in the hole a small shovel full of earth. two pupils at a time, one from one line and another from the other line. When this had been done and the Superintendent had asked, "In honor of whom is this tree named?" and all had responded according to pre vious cboice. the teachers of the grade, in a dignified and solemn manner, ad ded the concluding rite of tying the name of the tree to the trunk. The grade then marched by the tree, with a line of pupils on each side, and re turned to class room duties, while the succeeding grade proceeded to, con tinue in its own napie the same kind of formalities. By twelve o'clock all the grades but the tirst had duly planted their trees. As the honor of the first grade was the late Moses Levi, in re membrance of whose memory the Memn oral Institute stands, it was decided to to have the entire number of pupils present at this planting. Accordingly the nine higher grades assumed posi tions which together formed a double circle about the site for the tree with only one opening for the entrance of primary department. These little folks sixty strong, then marched at the beat ing of the drum and behind the flag of their country within the enclosure made by the older school mates, being ollowed by their fond and faithful eacher. They then observed the usual ceremony, saying in addition some lines of verse appropriate to the, occasion. When asked the name of their tree and one to which the others were doing homage with them, they exclaimed with one accord: "Moses Levi." On account'of the interest which the school children evidenced in this cele brating it seems very appropriate and becoming for Ithie announcement to be given in print as to the young orators of the several occasions, including the bearers of the national flag. It is the opinion of the Superintendent, who had the privilege of being present at each tree ceremony and who directed the details, that there were some rare gems of oratorical expression and beau tiful sentiment contained in the class addresses of those elected to present and receive the trees. They would doubtless have been wvell worthy of publication and preservation. The names of the class officials are: Eahgrd wsgrne thfppru whom it should honor in "christening" its tree. This resulted in the follow ing honors being ascribed, the prefer ence of each teacher, whatever it might have been, treated, in each case, as of no avail: First grade-"Moses Levi." Second grade -" George Washing ton." Third grade-"Francis Marion." Fourth Grade-'"Robert E. Lee." Fifth grade-"Stonewall Jackson." Sixth grade-"William McKinley." Seventh grade-"DuncanClinch Hey ward." Eighth grade-"Eva Browne," (who died during the past summer.) Ninth grade-"E. i. Browne." Tenth grade-"Clarence E u g e u e Bovd." Note. ("Judge Parker" was a popular Arbor Day appellation up to Novem ber Sth, when opinions changed slight Iv.) After a recess of thirty minutes. the school assembled in the hall where an encouraging number of interested pa rents and friends had gathered for the public exercises of the day. The Su perintendent, Mr. Clarence E. Boyd, opened program by stating the object of the occasion and reading the Act of the Legislature relative to the observ ence of Arbor Day. He also expressed the pleasure which the school felt at having the parents and visitors present and thereby brought into closer rela tion with the school's work. The fol lowing program was then rendered. PROGRAM. 1. "Bringing in the Sbeaves"-School. 2. Scripture Reading, led by Assistant Super intendent E. J. Browne. 3. Selected Gems-Edwin Harrington.

A strong feature of the program was the Arbor Day address of Mr. Charlton DuRant, a synopsis of which is in cluded among the details of these exer cises. The speech could not have been more appropriately worded or the subject matter more strikingly present ed. as the orator of the occasion laid much emphasis upon the teachings of the day and pointed the pupils to the one ideal of beauty in all the form of nature about them. It was announced by Supt. Boyd that five additional trees would be planted very soon and that, upon unanimous vote of the school, they would be named in honor of Maj. Abe Levi, Mr. Joseph Sprott, Mr. D. M. Bradham, Trustees, and THE MANNING TLMES (Mr. Louis Appelt, Editor) and The Manning Farmer (Dr. A. S. Todd, Editor). Upon an expression of thanks by the Superintendent to the visitors an. trustees for their presence and interest and especially to Mr. DuRant for his inspiring oration, and the pupils march ed down to their rooms and then were dismissed according to usual custom from their lines in front of the build ings. Summing up the various incidents, formalities and exercises of Arbor Day. it seems to have been the general ver dict that the celebration at the Moses Levi Memorial Instituts had been an unqualified success. SYNOPSIS OP ADDRESS. Mr. Principal, Ladies and Gentlemen, and Pupils of the Moses Levi Mem orial Institute: In beginning my remarks I would like to ~congratulate the teachers of this Institute upon the most excellent training which they have given the pupils under their charge. In the ex ercises just passed the children have acquitted themselves admirably and I feel that it is only proper for- me to voice what I am sure are the sentiments of those present, when I say that we thank the Principal and Teachers for the careful and thorough training of which we have seen evidences this morning. I had never realized how many chil dren there are attending this school, although I have often seen them at play and on their way to and from their homes. You have a great responsibil ity, as in these children are many and great possibilities for you to develop, and we are glad to see the evidences of your careful daily etforts. Should your efforts seem vain and you should be discouraged I bid you draw encourage ment from Arbor Da-y and the thoughts which it provokes, that the results of child-training are hidden in the future and that if the work is properly done good results are sure to follow. It is ike the planting of a seed, in that the results while perhaps not immediately apparent will show in after years. The education of children is like the planting of a tree, in that the labor is expended in the hope of a future re ward and a great deal of time, and money. and effort are expended in the cause of education in the hope that the reward will come in future years in a higher standard of citizenship and in men and women whose principles and character are better than gold and more desirable for a country than any material prosperity, however great. Actuated by these motives, our State has ever, to the limit of her resources, provided for the education of her sons and daughters, and I am glad to see that greater efforts are ,being made now than ever before to pr'ovide a good education for every child in Sonth Car olina. I trust that there will be no backward movement in this matter, but that there will be a steady advance until we have schools open to every child for nine months of every year, which schools will supply a good educa tion for every child in the State whether able to pay for it or not, and that every child will be required to at tend. The next step after free schools is compulsory attendance and I confi dently expect it. Every child should receive a train ing not only in the severely pratical things of life, but also such training as will best develop the nobler side of its nature. And I think that it is for this reason that the Legislature, in its wisdom, has set aside one day of each year as'Arbor Day and directed that upon that day such trees, flowers and shrubs shall be planted and such exer cises held as will impress upon the minds of the children a proper appre ciation of flowers, shrubbery and shade An Arbor Day provided for by law is a new thing in this State and it has not been in practice long in any of our States. One of the young ladies, in her essay, which contained very much use ful information, told us that the first Arbor Day was observed in Nebraska in 1872 as the result of the efforts of the Honorable J. Sterling Morton. Man ning had an Arbor Day before that, but it was not observed as the result of any statute and was required by no law ex ept that of kindness, generosity and public spirit. Before and about that time there lived a man here whom I never knew, and he died before many of you were born. But his works liv~e after him, and though he is gone he is not forgotten and cannot be for many years unless the citizens of this town lose their sense of gratitude and their appreciation of a public spirit which caused labor without hope of reward, xcept the consciousness of having ren dered a service to the people of his home and their children after them. He is dead, but the trees on the streets of Manning are his monument, and throug them he teaches us lessons of public-spirit, generosity and a love of the beautiful. For these trees, and they alone, make Manning a pretty town. When you walk the streets of Manning remember the debt which you owe to Dr. G. Allen Huggins. Not only did he plant the noble oaks which pro tect us from sun and storm as we go about the streets. but also the ever greens which line the avenue to the city of the dead were left by him to re mind us of the immortality of a man and to comfort the bereaved with the memory that their loved ones. though dead, still live. As I said, we are today simply obey ing the command of the Legislature, and they lay down a certain object to be obeyed-that is to impress upon the minds of the pupils a proper apprecia tion of flowers, shrubbery and shade trees. And this is not simply apublic occasion. but the result of the exer cises of today are intended to be a les son learned by the pupils. In attempt ing to carry out that intention I will address my further remarks exclusively to the pupils of this school. You children are now in the forma tive period of your lives: as the twig is bent. so is the tree inclined, and the endeavor of your parents and teachers is to aid you in your growth to good men and women; good citizens of what we consider the best State in the Union -glorious old South Carolina. Now, what is education? What is it that promnts your parents to send you here-that causes you to study lessons and devote all of your energy to the acquisition of knowledge? Why are schoolhouses? Education is, first, the development and training of the intellect. Second, the storing of the mind with useful in formation which will be needed later in life. It is not a matter of mere crowd ing certain facts and figures into your minds, but it is the development of your powers to think and of your reasoning faculties and fitting. you for the three great duties which every individual owes: his duty to his State, to his fam ily and to himself. The first thing a man should do, is to do his part in the economic life of his country, and this means with most of us making a living and taking oar part in the business of the world. In nothing that I say today do I intend to minimize the importance of. being practical, of obtaining--a practical education, of engaggin in a practical business and of being as successful in a material way as is consistent with honesty. However, this is not all of life, as we are not dis charging our full duty towards our own natures if we develop only our practical talents. It Is considered by many peo ple, but luckily the number is decreas ing, that an education which prepares a man to attend to business and enables a woman to write a readable letter is suficient. That only what gives absc lutely tangible, practical results in money or its equivalent should be con sidered. However, as I have said, the number holding this position is decreas ing and the endeavor now is not only to - provide for the severel material duties which an individual will have to perform,- but also to develop his charac ter on the spiritual side of his nature (using the term spiritual as. the reverse of material), the effort being to obtain a well rounded character and the most perfect development of all of his facul ties aad powers. In accordance with this idea we have Arbor Day. You learn in your lessons the practical things of how many pecks make a bushel; how to write correctly; how to think accurately and cle'arly, and how to express your ideas. But th is is an attempt to teach you to pay due respect and obedience to the other side of your nature which enjoys and ap preciates the b'eauties of the world in which you are living. Under this head I would include literature, music, art and all the works of nature, and you will find that a proper appreciation of any one of these will aid you to see and appreciate the rest, because it is only in a different form. Flowers, shrubbery and shaae trees are, from a commercial standpuint, are of no value. They are to only a limited extent the subject of trade and com merce and he:ice your appreciation of their beauty, your knowledge of their structure and laws and your love for them will never add to your material wealth. But it will ada, and very great ly, to your pleasure and also to your development into the perfect man or woman that you were intended to be. An appreciation of plants and flowers is simply one form of a love for beauty with which we are all created, and every man, to at least some extent possesses this love of beauty. God created man in his own image and one of the attri butes of the Divine nature is a love of beauty in all its forms. This earth is filled Ivith beauty, if we are only train ed to see and appreciate it. Not only the flowers of all hues, shapes and sizes, lofty trees, the rippling brook, the dash ing water-fall, the delicate tints of the sky; fleecy clouds overhead; the gor eous hues of asunset, when the whole eavens are a very riot of color which is ever changing and assuming new forms, new tints and new beauties: all around us are very oceans of beauty thrown with reckless abandon into the universe to enrapture our eyes, elevate our thoughts and aid in the develop ment of our characters. For it has al ways been found that man could easiest look through nature to Nature's God. and that any student of nature and any person whose mind has been trained to appeciate the glorious beauties of this world is reverent and devout, and filled with veneration for the Greator of all things. All nature is beautiful. We often pass by unseeing, but we should train our eres to see the beauty that is around us. I sometimes think that it was scattered here with such a lavish hand, to enable us to appreciate the beauties of the City and Palace of our God whose gates are pearl, whose walls are of jasper, and whose streets are paved with gold. The inspired Apostle in his endeavor to de scribe its beauities beggared language, and when his mind, attempting to grasp and portray the beauties before him, failed. put it down as "things which can not be uttered." This is your lesson for today. always look for the beautiful in nature and cul tivate to the artistic and esthetic side of your natures.
