LORD DERBY says on the subject Of war steamers
of belligereuts eOaling in neutral ports, that they
can take " 90 much coal only as may be sufficient TO
carry such vessel to the nearest port Of her own
country, or to some nearer destination" In the
case of the Russian war steamers which took coal
from this port, as they were not going TO the nearest
Russian port. or some nearer designation, but were
VIGOROUSLY proceeding to attack Bassora and
Bagdad, we question whether his Lordship would
decide that they could take in coal here without a
breach of neutrality II they got no coal here they
would have been obliged TO go TO Siberia for IL, thus
involving loss Of time. How will the case be. II
England is actually at war with Russia now?

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

On the first page Of to-day's ENQUIRER,
will be found, in full, the circular of Hugh S.
Thompson, Esq, State Superintendent of Ed
ucation. 1t is of special interest to school
teachers. Of the 100000 appropriated for
the support of the Free Common Schools of
the State, York county is entitled to $4,O35.29.
The number of polls in York county is, by
the last report, 3,307. Since the poll tax is to
be "expended for school purposes in the town
ships in which it is collected" it is important
that this tax be closely collected. If all the
polls are collected, the Free School fund of
York county will be s7,342.29.
For the satisfaction of all concerned, we
announce that the Board of Examiners,
which consists of Revs. R. Latham, R. P.
Johnson and L. II. Wilson, have appointed
the following persons Trustees Of the Free
Schools in the several school districts

TEMPERANCE LECTURE.

On Tuesday night last, W. I. r. Bell, Pres
ident of the State Council Friends of Tenn
perance of North Carolina, delivered lec-
ture on the subject Of temperance before
large audience of ladies and gentlemen, who
had assembled in the Court House for the
purpose of hearing him. Captain Bell &C.
Quilted himself very creditably, delivering
plain, practical argument in favor of the
TEMPERANCE cause. A noticeable feature of
the address was the entire omission Of the
coarse Jokes usually resorted to by temper
ance orators for the purpose of enforcing their
arguments, while it was equally free from
abuse of those engaged in the liquor traffic.
At the conclusion of the address, names were
solicited for the purpose of organizing Coun-
Gil in Yorkville, and twenty-six-considera-
bly more than the number required-were
procured in few minutes time. The Coun-
ell will be organized at an early day.
Capt. Bell visited Yorkville, ss ne will
cher points in the State. by invitation of B.
w. Edwards, President Of the State Council
of South Carolina.

We we're pleased to receive call, last
Tuesday, from Capt. W. T: R. Bell, who Wis
tied Yorkville for the purpose of delivering
a lecture on the subject of temperance, no.
tice of.which is given elsewhere. Capt. Bell
rendered efficient service in this State during
the last canvass, in advocacy of Hampton

will not be soon forgotten by our people.
As Principal of Kings Mountain High

on the Airline Railroad, Capt. Bell is &C.
complishing much in promoting the edu-
catonal interest in that section. He informs
US that SO pupils attended the session of his

DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY AND REPUBLI.
CAN EXTRAYAGANCE.

During the winter Of 1876 strenuous
effort was made by the Republicans to reduce
expenditures, so that their party might have
practical reforms to point to when the State
canvass of 1876 began. In comparing. there
fore the Republican appropriations for the
fiscal year 1875-76, with the Democratic ap-
preparations for the fiscal year 1857, the
advantage is given the Republicans in select
ing the year in which their appropriations
were put at what they regarded as the lowest
possible figure. 1t will be seen, however, by
an examination of the subjoined table that,
exclusive of interest, the appropriations for
the current year, under Democratic rule, are
1927 1867 less than in the last year of the

RISK.

hlShs
WHY risk and not succeed in making good
w Corn or Cotton crop? You do it. Why
not risk 81 in a bushel Of German Millet Seed,
with careful preparation of the land, to procure
of the best crops, for the least money, grown
You do not do it. This Millet Seed can be sown
until the lst August, and nine times out often,
you will be paid over one hundred per cent, for
the amount invested. 1t Is not the profit we de-
rive from the sale of the Millet that we persist in
your buying it. Gentlemen, our reason for ad-
vertising and advocating this thing is to relieve
men of paying out so much money for long forage
for stock during the cold rainy months of win
ter. It does not matter to us what it costs Mr..
Jones, Mr.. Smith or Mr.. Davis to feed his horse.
But it concerns us and is consolation to know
that we any one else who owns stock can feed
that stock at less expense by raising Millet Hay.
Some do not believe what we advertise. We can
prove, by living witnesses, to-day, all we have
said in regard to Millet Hay. If time lasts long
enough your scepticism will vanish like smoke
from the hill tops. Now is the time to SOW it.
Do not put it off, and after you see your neighbor
with fat, sleek horses and mules say You wish
you had done as Bill Herndon asked you to do.
Your wheat Is now off Of some Of your best
lands, and with little manure and good plowing
you have until the stof August to sow it. You
won't regret it.

No account has been taken of the interest
on the public debt, as in both years sum
sufficient was appropriated. In salaries the
reduction is marked. The saving there is
over fifty thousand dollars. There is an in
crease in the contingent funds, consequent
upon the unsettled condition of the govern
ment earlier in the year, and the necessity Of
providing for the expenses of litigation in the
Attorney Generals office. The public insti
tutions have enough for their actual wants,
and no more The Deaf and Dumb Asylum
is provided for and so is the interest on the
State bonds purchased with funds belonging
to the Agricultural College. For the Uni
versity and the Normal School only enough
money was appropriated to keep the buildings
in order. These eleemosynary, rather than
educational institutions will be thoroughly re-
organized next winter. The public schools
get 100000, and the poll tax, which is ex-
pected to realize 100000 more. The $780,
900 will be sufficient, it is believed, to keep
the schools in operation until October, in
counties where the schools have incurred no
Indebtedness For public printing the appro.
priation is reduced to $4,000. Not long ago
the amount paid out, in one year, for printing
was over $s20,000. The expenses of the
General Assembly are reduced from $4,000
to $l06,500, and the reduction would have
been greater but for the tenacity Of the high
priced Senators.
Figures are deeply interesting to tax.pay-
ers when they show how the public money has
