Some days ago at a hotel table we
beard the conversation of a number
of gentlemen concerning certain
conditions in the South, and the
conversation interested us very much.
One of the gentlemen was from Ohio,
and of course the conversation had
to take a turn at lynchings in die
South. The gentleman from Ohio
did not say anything harsh about
the South, nor about the lynching
here. the contrary he said that
for the same crimes for which
are lynched in the South, they would
be as he put it, in the
North. He said that the people in
the North do not really care as much
tit as do the people in the
South, lie says the people here
understand the race better than the
people there do. But the most inter-
part of the conversation turn-
ed up on the question of reading.
The gentleman from Ohio said that.
he has much in the J North
and in the South and so has had
opportunity to make observations of
the people in the different sections.
He said that the people in the North
read many times more than the
pie in the South.
Some one, he said, made close ob-
on a railroad car of the
number of people reading as they
leave a city. In the North on a train
leaving a city he observed that
most every one is reading; but in
the South on a train leaving a city

The inconvenience and annoyance

to stop their horses on the street.

this, and that it was told him
there can hardly be a doubt.

The keepers of these stables have

as to be almost impassable.
Complaints of this were numerous

It is Cause for congratulation that
the colleges throughout the state
have begun their fall sessions with a
large attendance. In most instances
the enrollment has surpassed all for-
mer years. This is a good
of the interest the people are
taking in education. This leads us
to call attention to the fact that the
Greenville graded school will open
on the inst., and the attendance
to be larger than heretofore.

the board of aldermen with a request
that the trouble of blocking up the
street fronting their property be
stopped. In this request they were
also voicing the sentiment of others
as well as themselves, and
the justice of the complaint,
the aldermen passed an ordinance
forbidding the leaving of unhitched
vehicles on the streets.
That is all there is in the law. It
simply means that after horses a-e
unhitched from the buggies the
vehicles shall not be left standing
in the streets. There is nothing in
the law to prevent any one driving
his horse and vehicle where he
pleases through the streets, or stop-
ping where he pleases as long as h ,
pleases. And as many , stables a
there are in town no one should be
inconvenienced by law. The
stableman who takes care of the

great satisfaction which we
find pianos have given in

we shall not be disappointed
in our expectation.

When the heads of such colleges with whom we entrust
our children for education select the Artistic Stein Piano,
would it not be wise for you to profit by their knowledge and
experience The Piano is a Southern production and
sold direct from factory to fireside, thus saving all in-between
profits.
Besides our own matchless we have several other
standard makes at exceedingly low prices and lenient terms.
Several slightly upright pianos and organs at surprising
low prices.
We are here for a limited time only. Take advantage of
