THE TRUE SOUTHRON,
(FORMERLY THE SUMTER NEWs.)
ESTABLISHED IN 1866.
STRICTLY WHITE MANS PAPER.
An Independent and fearless Journal, Devo.
ted to the Interests of the Good and
True People of the Country.

NROM the growing popularity and demand
il abroad, for our paper, which after more than
seven years of unremittng labor and effort we
havethe proud satisfaction Of seeing firmly estab-
lished, upon business basis we are convinced OF
the prOpriety of imparting to it broader charac-
ter, and making it a more general exponent OF the
sentiments and interests of the country at large,
and representative of its intelligence and welfare
but more especially of the South and
OUR OWN SOUTHERN PEOPLE.
We have, therefore, determined, to the best -four
ability, to occupy this higher and wider plane of
we abandon the name of the Sumter Ne,cs, which
smacks too much Of localisnn, for that of
THE TRUE SOUTHRON.
We shall continue, as heretofore, to stand firm
ly and squarely upon our principles, maintain
our independence, and to battle for right and
truth against official corruption, venality and
fraud-not swerving from the right through mo-
tives of crooked policy or fallacious and short
sighted expediency.
We receive no Government pap, to help us
along; but look to the men whose rights and in
terests we watch and defend, by day and by night,
to sustain us, by cordial and liberal support
We ask all friends of
HONESTY AND GOOD GOVERNMENT
To interest themselves in extending our circua-
ton, and thereby aid us in our battle against the
corruption and viainy Of the Party in Power,
which is fast destroying the liberties of our people
and the resources of the country.

EDUCATION IN THE UNITED STATEs.-The
Commissioner of Education at Washington,
in his third annual report, exhibits some very
interesting statistics relating to the education
al condition of the people of the United States.
Itappears from the report that the total num-
ber of male adults in 1870 was 9,443, ,001, of
whom 1,619,147 were illiterates; and that
of the female adult population, (9,002,999,)
there were 2,096,04 illiterates Estimating
the status of the children on the same basis,
it is found that out of the total population of
the United States of all ages, (3S,558,371,)
there are IL, 1876, ,799 who can neither read nor
write. In respect to public school expendi-
lures, it is shown that Massachusetts expends
the largest amount per capita-S2O.O5-and
that Nevada comes next, with Sl9.89; Colo.
RADIO next, with $3.50; and the District Of
Columbia next, with s15.15. The amounts
paid in other States range from 65 cents
North Carolins) to $1213, California; In
the Northern, Eastern and Western States,
the progress of education has been steady !;
but in Delaware and Kentucky, where the
Legislatures have made no provisions for col.
ored children, the progress has not been so
ludIheu IuouSu 0So Ill oao
of education Interests have greatly increased.
In Virginia, the progress has been very great
in majority of the counties but in North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Tenn
essee, the inaction in country districts is de-
plorable The towns and cities show much
Improvement. In Arkansas. Alabama and
Florida not much advance has been made
and though the prospects in Texas we're ia
vorable some time ago, the free school system
has since been abolished by the Legislature
There were in 1870, in the United States, S11
academies, with 9S,929 students, and 298 COL
leges, 80 of which we're preparatory, the re-.
naming 217 reporting 19,26O students, Of
whom ,419 were females. The number of
institutions for the superior education of fe-
males was IT'S, with 1928 students. The
Commissioner closes by calling attention to
the lack of proper veterinary instruction,
which was well illustrated during the late ep-
izootic excitement, and he recommends the
establishment by the Government of good
veterinary schools in connection with other
institutions.

asH- Curran we'll understood the art of divert
ing objections with clever retort He was
addressing jury on one Of the State. trials,
in 1904, with his usual animation. The Judge,
whose political bias, if any judge can have
one, was certainly supposed not to be faEora-
BILE to the prisoner, shook his head in doubt
or denial of one of the advocates arguments.
81 see, gentlemen" said Mr.. Curran, 81 see
the motion of his lordship's head !; common
observers might imagine that it implied
difference of opinion, but they would be mis-
taken; it is merely accidental. Believe me,
gentlemen, if you remain here many days you
will yourselves perceive that when his lord
ship shakes his head there's nothing in it"

THE Cause.-The reason why Mrs. Dugan,
of Hagerstown, wishes divorce, is that Mr..
Dugan has attacks of nightmare of the most
fearful character, and she fears he will slay
his whole family in one of his paroxysms A
few night ago, for instance, Dugan dreamed
that he was hunting for coons. He chased
one through the woods and up a tree. In his
dream Mr.. Dugan climbed the tree, and seiz-
ing the coon by the tail, he strove to draw it
down. Meanwhile thunderstorm came up,
and just as he was struck by peculiarly
vivid flash of lightning, Dugan awoke He
found he had climbed up the old fashioned
bed-post, and had been pulling the baby fran.
ticaly out of bed by the leg, and that Mrs.
Dugap, having knocked him down with a
chair, was brandishing the article over him
as he lay upon the floor

B9~ The dread of death is universal and
instructive and yet how many rush into its
arms! Suicide is most impressive fact in
this connection. The disappointed lover, the
discouraged adventurer, the suspected clerk,
the child wounded in its self.love or fearful of
punishment, faces the great enemy and invites
his blow. Every now and then the commu.
nifty is shocked by suicides so unprovoked and
so frequent as almost to pursuade US that the
natural fear of death is passing away. The
inconsistency is easily explained. Lord Ba-
con says there is no passion that will not
overmaster the terror Of death. For passion
is thoughtless occupied wholly with an i'm
mediate suffering, it makes no estimate ofany
other kind of pain; absorbed in an instanta-
neous sorrow, it takes no other sorrow into &C.
count. The mind entertains but one passion
at time, whether it be joy or fear. But men
are not always or generally under the in.
fluence of passion. Ordinary life is calm,
calculating, considerate it is in ordinary life
that death is terrible. 1t is the thought Of
death that is terrible, not death. Death is
gentle, peaceful, painless instead of bringing
suffering. It is misery's cure. Where death
IS, agony Is uOI. 1ue ploCooooo VI uoouh CIV
all friendly. The near aspect Of death is gra-
cious. There is picture somewhere OF
frightful face, livid and ghastly, which the
beholder gazes on with horror, and would
turn away from, but for hideous fas-
cination that not only rivets his attention,
but draws him closer to it. On approaching
the picture the hideousness disappears, and
when directly confronted it is not any more
seen the face is the face of an angel. 1t
is picture of death, and the object of the
artist was to impress the idea that the terror
of death is in apprehension. Theodore Par
ker, whose observation of death was very
large, has said that he never saw a person of
any belief condition or experience unwilling
to die when the time came; and my own
more limited observation confirms the truth
of the remark. Death is an ordinance Of
nature, and like every ordinance of nature is
directed by bene6cent laws to benehcent
ends. What must be, is made welcome. Ne
cessity is beautiful-O B. Frontingham.
