Not a day passes over the earth but men and women of no particular note do great deeds, speak great words, noble sorrows, like the pearls in the of the ocean, or flowers that blush unseen. Of these 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 very few are ling.

It was not admitted, however, that the price of paper could not be the cause of such a discrepancy be- tween the reading of the people of the two sections.

The inconvenience and annoyance arising from this cause last year should lead every one not to want a of it, and the way to vent it is to act in time. The facilities of this road are already pour enough with only one passenger day, without that train having to break its schedules and connections to do extra work. It is strange to what pie will sometimes go in an effort to array a feeling of prejudice in the country against the town, and that citizens of the town should be gators of -such prejudice is more than strange. We are led to these remarks by hearing that a the country who was in town a few days remarked that he was afraid to drive his horse up in front of a store to get goods he had par- chased because he heard tho town had passed a law forbidding persons to stop their horses on the street. Of course the man had been told this, and that it was told him there can hardly be a doubt. Possibly this explanation on the subject will not Green- ville several stables at which people coming in from the country put up their horses for the day. The keepers of these stables have been in the habit of leaving the buggies out on the streets, and streets near the stables would be so blockaded by these as to be almost impassable. Complaints of this were numerous and even people from the country were heard to they could hardly find room to drive through certain streets because of such block- During the past summer another large stable was built just below Five Points on Evans street. Two citizens residing near the location, one of them immediately adjoining it, were opposed to the stable Asked and Answered. It is a poor rule which does not work both ways.

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. All the children of the town were not in school last year, and the e the off to send their are not doing their duty by them. 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 horse should take have given the matter and the great satisfaction which we find pianos have given in other schools, we feel sure that we shall not be disappointed in our expectation.
