A GREAT STATE BENEFACTION." "Under the above heading The "Wil mington Star commends the movement started by Dr. McGeachy for a home for fallen women: . "The Charlotte News says it discov ers general popular approval of a plan advocated by the Rev. Dr. A. A. Mc Geachy of that city for a state insti tution in which to give women a chance to retrace their lives and be come useful members of society. Such r home will give them a chance and prepare them for occupations by which they can support themselves. "That is a Christian way of dealing with a problem. It is different from the un-Christian way of hounding them after the ways of tie law, a custom which the best thought of the country is turning from a repentant way. The state has institutions for its other unfortunates and delinquents, so there could be no greater public bene faction than just such an institution p.s Dr. McGeachy advocates." We believe that the general attitude of all papers and individuals would be found favorable to such a proposition. The remarkably hearty response to the movement is encouraging. '"I will give as much to the cause as any other man in Charlotte, no matter who he is." That was the first greeting Dr. Mc Geacfcy had the morning after he preached his sermon. The movement should become state wide for the same deplorable situation .faces every city for correct solution. The press can, and will render val uable aid in arousing the people to the need of such an institution. with this summer is advanced by. the!?iciaa from another state who is study.

Troops have been added to the police iorce and strenuoua efforts are constantly maae to keep the crowds quiet. Stu dents fight.

Great crowds flock about the prison where she Is incarcerated and cheer her. The head of the bar of Paris has undertaken her defense and will plead the unwritten law, claiming that she Hhot to. clear her name and the good name "of her husband. Two million Parisians are receiving just the kind of excitement they relish, .but the balance of France's forty mil lion population goes about the even terror of its way as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. There is no place on earth just like Paris. No one can have watched the life of our cities for the last few years without noticing the extraordinary rage for all that is not respectable, not only among men, but quite as strongly among woman, says London Truth. Truth's indictment of the society of today is a terrific one, if true, and that it is true any one of middle age and less, with eyes to see, even in our more provincial communities, can tes tify. Continuing, Truth says: Thanks to dress and social customs, one can watch the new dislike of pro m-ietv best in women. Ten years ago every chorus girl wanted to look like a duchess: and her notion of a ducn ess, if perhaps a little highly colored, was vet remarkably like the current idea of a gentlewoman. Nowadays the rhorns sirl soes her own way, sets her own fashions, makes her own cus toms. secure of having ah our duch ess assiduously imitating her so soon as her new coiffure or her extra inch of knee have been displayed on the stage. There was a time when a thea trical drssmaker never dreamed of drawing any custom from the world of great aides. Now their books are crowded with titled customers, who are anxious to look as much like Totty Tips or Lotty Lacks as possible, and would even undergo an operation if they could thereby get the same adol escent smile. Last year a fashionable bride, daughter of a great house, was mar ried in a dress not modified but ex actly copied from one worn by the heroine of a certain long-lived musi cal comedy. She not only had it copied (and one may admit that it was very pretty, although it lacked taste in one or two details), but in the accounts of her wedding which appeared in the press, she, or her representative, took care that his detail should be men tioned. Those who describe dresses worn at the courts, too, know how of ten a debutant is clothed in exact imitation of those stage ladies who look so young and innocent that one can see the bloom upon their faces. In public amusement, too,, the same tendency is increasingly visible. Wo man go as a matter of course to places where they used not to be admitted. There is nothing in that; but bolh men and women seem to prefer things which have a show of being improper. It is a little dowdy to be respectable, or to seem so; and this applies very strong ly to conversation. Not only do women hear language which they would once have swooned to read, but they take an open pride in not being shocked by it. In respect to public amusements, we have the most astonishing and unde niable evidence the evidence of our own senses, in fact of the revolt of popular taste against the restraints of propriety.' So pronounced has the pub lic taste and preference become for loose, suggestive and immoral perfor mances, that no other sort of amuse ment, no matter how eminent and famous of its class, whether it te trag edy, comedy, grand opera or what not, can command a crowded house, while an Evelyn Thaw, with no fame of any sort to commend her but her infamy- z.eigneia s a ouies, wnerem women sport as nearly in nature's garments as Mother Eve in the Garden of Eden, ana others of this, class of amuse ments, are guaranteed p.aying to houses packed to "stanJing room. But the most astonishing part of it is the character of the audiences that patronie these performances. In the days of the original "BlacL. Crook" ana later only men patronized this class of performance and any woman seen there would have been Dlaced beyond the pale of polite society. But toaay this class of performances at tracts, the most mixed audiences seen at our theaters. Fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, even girls in their teens accompanied by their beaus, freely attend them, witness the most risque stunts and listen to the broadest and coarsest allusion, with out even blushing. Can such things be And overcome us, like a summer cloud Without our special wonder? teen minutes to each gubernatorial ; Paleigh, published elsewhere in this aspirant.

This is a most im possible, for the voters to size up thelportant matter that, should not be neg various 'candidates under Buch condi- J leced. ; tions." To state the case is enough. No ar gument is needed to convince any in telligent man that as an educational institution the county-to-county cam paign is a farce. All that it now amounts to is to furnish degrading spectacles for those who gather about the speakers in the hope that the vile epithets they are almost sure to bear may possibly eventuate in something more serious. The county-to-county campaign is utterly indefensible. When the demo cratic club meetings are held next month there should go up from all parts of South Carolina a demand upon the state convention that the present practice be abandoned once and for all. Its continuation is a dis grace to the state. OLD COINS. (Winston-Salem Sentinel.) Mr. C. C. Spainhour brought to The Sentinel office this morning some very old coins, which he has had in his possession for fifteen or more years Anions: them were two 50 cent pieces dated 1S08 and 1822 respectively. Also two quarters dated '1854, which he prizes as the date of his birth. He also has a silver certificate bearing 1886 as the date of issue. The en graving is entitled "History Instruct ing Youth," the former pointing to the declaration of independence as if re- fltine the story to a youth at her side. This interesting study is surrounded bv a border of wreaths, each bearing the name of great statesmen who have contributed to the making of the his tory of the nation. Mr. Spainhour states that he has been offered good premiums for some in his collection. PRIMARY IN LEE. VI ifTTMI if 4 ifv. . . f I 77 Tl 1 1 BEEF WIN W M iu.i-.- .

The latter has the distinction of being the only afternoon paper in the state which issues a Sun aay aition." (Waxhaw Enterprise.) Lee county now has a legalized nrimary for both parties. The San- ford Express in talking about the po litical out look says that it is pre sumed that the candidates will make a canvass of the county before the primary as the voters will want to see what sort of fellows they are go ing to have on the ticket. The pn mary is the best method of selecting candidates and the people of Lee will soon find that it is a great improve ment over the old convention plan. In the legalized primary the sentiment of the people is clearly ascertained. GLW.C. Our Own Compounding or Beer, wine and iron. This is a tonic of true merit.
