There are rash people here acd there in the World who have fore- ,:asted and predicted that the so-call ed feminist movement discourages marriage and giving in marriage. How little they know what they are talkng about is made very clear by che number of marriage licenses ap plied for in Philadelphia alone on Wednesday. No fewer than 150 pairs of lovers crowded the doors of Cupid's local clerk that day each in tent on a Thanksgivng wedding. It was a record-breaking number. It is true that the lot of the single woman, young or old, is not so hard today as it used ot be. In America at least a woman does not have to marry to be happy—or perhaps it is better to say that she will not neces sarily be unhappy if she doesn’t marry. Opportunities for useful OC' cupation are wider open to the un married woman today than they ever were before. Woman’s sphere has widened, even in communities where she does not vote^ to such an extent that so far as making a living is con- We niake the boast that North Cai-olina is the best state in the union, and yet . we consider it v/orth more to make sure that the man who builds the walls of our houses knows bis business, than the man who to a large extent shapes the lives of our chil dren! How long will it tak^ our people to come to a realization of the fact that it is far easier to get a competent brickmason for $1.75 than to get a competent school teacher for the same amount? North Ca'rolinans are as yet far too prone to judge by appearances. The Work of a bungling mason is app^- ent at the first glahce; but the woric of a bungling instructor may not ap-, pear for many years. Though a crooked wall can be demolished, and a straight one set up with compara tive ease, a crooked education is be- ynd ail human aid. Is it not then the part of wisdom to see that the man who erects the miintat structure in the fiirst place is the best that can be had? Our public school system has been the football of politicians of both par ties ever since it was established. It is easy to impose on the children, for they have no lobbyists; and the Unterrified Democracy and the Grand Old Party have alike been guilty of this crime. The children have no votes; therefore they simply do not exist, in the mind of the average pol- iticia?!. This, we believe, is one of the most serious errors that a “statesman can make. Sooner or later a man wili arise with justice for the children i.* his platform. And when he gets through with the old machines the rescue squad will gather up of the fragments that remain twelve bas ketfuls.

Columbia, S. C., Dec. 1,—Governor Cole L. Blease today aiSxed his sig nature to new bonds, while indicating his disapproval of the bond act and of the transfer in no uncertain terms. In ^a letter to the State Treasure the Governor follows: I notice that the stock certificates presented by you and signed by A. W. Jones, Comptroller General, and Martin F. Ansel, D. C. Heyward and myself, as Governors, bearing differ- 9nt dates, read in part as follows: S.tociv certificates of this issue are free frorn all State, county and mu nicipal taxes whatsoever, are ex changeable for coupon bonds and are transferrable in person or by attorney on the books of the State Treasurjer at Columbia, S. C., by virtue of ah act approved the 22nd. of December, 1912.' “This certificate, as I have stated i^; sijgned by the .governor of So|iath, C'4i;plinlt, coiiintersighed by the Comp- trdlii^ General,' and bears the seal State. ' This, therefore, is a contract of the State, and of course should b carried out. I, therefore affix my signature in order to carry out the agreement made by the legal agents of the state, in accofance with the act of the General Assembly. Personally, I would hot have approv ed this act, and personally, I % iipi approve of this trarmfer, particularly at this time, while the bond niatter is in the very unsatisfactory condition that it is and is awaiting the acton of the legislature in order to settle the differences between mem bers of the Sinking Fund Cojnmission. However, the matter having been put up to me as it is. , I see but one thing left for me to do, and for that sea son and that alone I subjnit to this transfer, and affix my sgnature to the new bonds. “COLE L.
