ed for the common school amendment to
the state constitution as a means to in
fiuence the cOlored Republicans tavora-
bly,. The amendment is referred to the
Leo islature for ratification, AMI it is sug-
gested by Democrats that the Legislature
will not ratify. On this question the
Democrats are divided. one party cliim-
ing that the amendment should be repu-
dated. Al writer in the Charleston Jour-
nal of Commerce says The sta tc is COM
mitted to the system of free common
schools by the provisions of the constitu-
ton, by the expressions of the press and
from the rostrum. and by the overwhelm-
ing vote on the 7th of November last.
Let the Legislature do'its duty by con-
firming the will Of the people, and we
will escape the greatest danger which
threatens us-the danger of broken faith;
the danger of eishonor aid disgrace"
This would indicate that the South Car
DINA Democrats are intriguing TO break
down tie free school amendment.

THERE is much method i'm the Monten-

Turks full employment i'm another qu..r-
ter, the Montenegrins are making a bold

TO take in two seaport towns. They have
usually been penned up in their little

reaching other nations. The Montene-
u iis may have some ambition TO become
