Nov VIC would be glad to know
the amount of property owned by the
colored people Of South Carolina
We wager that it is not near as much
as owned by that race in Georgia
Here the miserable government has
prevented the blacks and whites both
from accumulating any property.
In this resi- ect G. o.gia is far ahead
Of South Can olina.
1t has bccD affirmed by radical
demagcgucs tnat there arc ro color
ed schools in Gcorgia. This is ab<o.
lutc!y false. The report of the
Georgia Superintendent Of cduoutiun
shows that an annual fund of $3.50 900
is raised for educational purposes, 0!
which one haT is upportioned to
colored schools, although the blacks
are in Il minority and own but II
small portion Of the property of the
Stat. In Savannah there ure l2OU,
and in Augusta 800 coiorcd pupils
attending s-hool. The teachers al O
competcu! and are rcyulnly paid.
LII South Carolina about $500 900
is raised for school purposes, but it
Is never fully p.id out, and schools
are closed most Of the year. Neither
white Dor colored obtain any advau.
tag.s from these Schools. The teach
ers arc miserably paid. In this res..
pect Georgia il far ahead Of South
Carolina.
Again Mr.. Peabody left a large
legacy, tho interest which is
devoted to schools. Last yea,
tho Trustee found Gse sys
ten of schools in Georgia, and
aided them with gift of $4,000.
In South Carolina, he found the
school 81 stem so wrctohed that he
considered money thrown away, to
give it anything aud he conseque ptly
gave only $500.
These are few Of the advantages
possessed by Georgia over South
Carolina. If our government would
