ments that the greatest safety lies
in the direction Of the greatest in
telligenc, the masses, and that mo-
ncy expended in educating any part
of the community is a benefit to the
whole. And yet in the organs of
the party in this country which
styles itself far excellence, Demo-
cratic, Ms not uncommon to find
sentiments like the following, taken
from the Columbus (Miss.) Demo-
crnt:. "The free school system is
using force to compel one class to
educate another. 1t is a Radical
device for expressing and robbing
the white people" Here is the
reflex of Democratic sentiment in
a section where Democratic princi-
pies and tendencies have had their
frecst and most perfect develop
ment, and where the controlling
strength of the party exist to-day.
Hostility to everything which will
promote intelligence and freedom
Of thought and action, which will
relieve men from the thraldom of
prejudice and tradition, is the nat
ural result Of Democratic teachings,
as we'll in Iowa as Mississippi.
That party never intends that it's
diciples shall get beyond the argu-
ment that ga Niger is not as good
as white man" if it can help it,
and hence where it flourish
es most vigorously it is the
Incorporating foe of free schools
and other civilizing agencies.

Of First Assistant Secretary of the

The Vinton Journal is happy to
congratulate its readers that the ''detes-
table practice" of eating or. as it vigor-
ously styles it.. ''propelling food from
plate to mouth" with forks instead Of
knives, is about to undergo change. 1t
ftlicitously adds: "Knives will, ere long.
take their accustomed places between
the teeth of Americans; and other old
fashioned customs, it is to be hoped will
likewise supplant some Of the detestable
practices and usages now so common
among the would he thought fashiona-
bIes." The other old fashioned customs
alluded to are doubtless those in vogue
in the millennial days before knives and
forks wer. invented.

ROCK SPRING ITEMS.

The Debating Club at Atkins school
house, met last Saturday night, and dis
cussed the question, -"Was the North
right in coercing the seeding States?"
After warm and interesting discussion,
it was decided in favor of the affirma-
tive. Will the Radicals take this as an
evidence Of the "unreconstructedn con-
dition Of our young people? John Smith
and Sam Akin were on the side OF. the
adhrnstive, and Elliott Smith and Geo.
Cannon, for the negative. The speeches

WV. Lancaster is to fix up the Huey
bridge, until timbers can be got tor it.
The upper bottom "cordn next to the
bluff, or north side, is stretching, and
threatens to throw the bridge down.
The bridge was built about two years
ago, by +. NJ. Vaughn, an experienced
bridge builder.
The Columbia church bells are heard
at Huey's mill and Atkins school house.
1t is reported that Mr.. Ira Hardison
has bought out Mr.. Henry Zellner's in
terest in the Huey Mills. We under
stand that the new firm, Hardison Il
Sowell, intend sending North for first
class machinist, and erect a manufacture
ing establishment on the North side.
Much complaint is made because of
the steep ascent at the southern end of
the Huey Bridge. The northern end
should also be renledied. Whenever it
rains, vast stream of water runs into
the bridge, and in a short time that end
will become rotten. The overseer should
remove both Of these evils, if it is his
duty, and if it is not, he should report
the matter to the County Court.
DIR. Jas. T. Akin recently brought
from the North two red foxes, and
made a present of them to Joe REEVES, of
the Rock Spring country.
A personal quarrel, resulting in
church trial, recently took place be-
tween two members of the Rock Spring
church. When will protesting Chris
tians cease.to throw stumbling-b blocks
in the way of sinners, by their little
animosities and back-bitings?
Several years ago there was great neg
lect of the Sabbath on the north side of
the river above the Huey Mills. Hunt
ing, fishing, and all manner of Sabbath
breaking was unchecked. The Rock
Spring church was too far away for its
influence to be greatly felt, but Mr.. J. l..
Paul and others have got up Sunday
School and preaching at Atkins school
house. and great good is the result.
Revs. Mr.. Winn, VOORHEES,, and Smith
have preached for the people, and it is
hoped that DIR. Green will also give
them one of his grand sermons on the I'd
or 4th Sunday in June.

grounds. When passing Bunch's store
they had the "May Queen" in a wagon
covered with cedar, and we thought She
was singing "Hail Columbian" know
it was the best music i ever heard. In
the evening they passed back the same
way, I-believe singing the same thing,
until they got opposite the store, where
they all sounded "do,T and I thought
sang Bully for Bragg!" | know the
music could not be beat. Mr.. Porter
