County School Superintendent.

We would call special attention to the no.
tice In our paper tlis week, Of the County
Superintendent Of Common Schools, calling
together the Trustees OF the County, on the
l.t of December, for the purpose of Elcctlng
a County superintendent for the ensuing
yea. The Trustees should select good man
for that position. Like all others this office
may be abused and the people made to suffer
by bad or Indifferent selection,
Let us then, have q man who feels an Inter-
est in the welfare Of the children Of the
county. who will show no favors to one class
TO the detrimeut of another, but who il hon-
est upright and fearless in the Gischargy OF
duty. We are aware that the pay of the ollce
Is small-too smal--but let US have the best
man. who can at least give portion Of his
time to the duties of the office A portion OF
the time Of a man fully able to manage tile
affairs in this Office honestly, Ia much better
than ALL the time Of an incompetent one.

The Battle of Marks Mill.

Col Thomas of the Pine Bluff fress, who
was ths adiutant Of Gen, Pagan, the con!ed-
crate commander at the battle of Marks Mill
In this State in April 1854, recently paid a
visit to that noted field and, in referring to il
thus speaks in an Article in the Press:
On the way from Mount Elba TO New Ed
inburg. we passed over the battlefield OF
Marks Mil 1t was as lovely and quiet As the
summers evening" holiest and latest sigh
Very different was It's aspect when last we
locked upon 1t. About noon we reached the
point where 1.-THE battle was lest and won.'
And upon the very spot where midst scream
OF shot and burst Of shell " we saw federal
battery stormed and carried, We quietly
lunched snl leisurely pointed out to oui
young companion where Cabell had opened
the fight. where Dockery had fallen like a
thuuderbolt upon the enemy, and where
Shelby and Crawiord's brigades, making de-
tour, had suddenly appeared in their front
and closed the fight. Being surrounded, til,
federals became demorali2cd. and at ono,
threw up the sponge. Great credit is due
General Pagan for the uneXampled success
which attended our arms in that battle. May
those quiet woods ever remain as peaceful AZ
on that autumn noon when We lunched un-
der its grand shades.

To the Point.

The following closes al article on the Gu
ba outrage from the ST. Louis Republican,
which is TO the point, and expresses the senti-
u,ents of hrgs majority Of the citizens OF
the United states. lie the Administration
seize Cuba, hold the harbor OF Havana and
receive apologies afterwards If deemed best
I'VE repeat what We said 4 few days age
1t Is useless to attempt to settle the difiiculty
al Madrid |, must be settled at Havana, or
not at all. Even il the Spanish government
should recall Joyellar and order Burriel be-
fore court martial. the yolunteers-who are
the real rulers of Cuba-woulu pay no atten-
ton to those commands, and heth the captain
general and his agents would remain where
they are and 20 unpunlshed. Any policy on
our part which does not recognize the iact
that Spain no longer exercises absolute con
troll over Cuba, will end in disappointment
and disgrace. Cuba, not Spain, conceived
and executed the murders ut Santiago, and
Cuba, not Spain should be held responsible
for it. If Spain chooses to espouse the cause
of Cuba, she must take the consequences; but
meanwhile \ fleet in the harsor of Havana
will be far more ellicacous than the diplona-
ey of dozen Sickles.

The meeting at the Courthouse in the city

eating tie national honor and Wiping out the
recent insult to the flag and outrage on civil

vengeance upon tho perpetrators OF the inhu'
man butchery. The war feeling In the crowd
ran very high, and there was repeatedly ex-

Advertising in Dull Times.

The Milwaukee Wisconsin relates the fol
lowing which recommend to the consiiera-
tion of our merchants:
After the crash of 81. when every body
was almsst scared 10 death, and the croakers
predicted that the country had gone to smash
a dry goods house was opened ia this city,
which proceeded on the principle that in or
der TO reach the boarded money in the peck
cts Of the people the proprietors must sell at
very reasonable prices and advertise very
largely They worked vigorously upon this
principle. Their brother merchants who did
not advertise predicted that the new cemcrs
would he ruiNed, as they paid too much for
advertising. Nevertheless they persisted. In
a single year they paid $500 in gold to the
Daily Wisconsin for advertising, and at the
end of seven years they retired from business
with fortune of 100000. while other mer
chants on the same street, some of them op-
posite their store had failed
We remember similar instance among our
own advertisers In the panic Of 1857. a mer
chant continued his advertisement in our col
umns throughout the whole period of stagna-
tion. and notW ithstanding many predictions
that lit wouldn't pay" His testimony after
ward was that his sales were steady and his
profits satisfactory. while many merchant
around him who couldn't afford to adver-
tsc,' saw his clerks stand idle behind the
counters.
A financial panic does not mean that no one
has any money. There is plenty of money
in the country, and those who hoard it are
Just the ones to be eager for the bargains"
which fall In price holds out. But to buy
they must know where to bug, and the mer-
chant who tells them will receive their cash.
