NEWS OF THE WEEK.


News comes from Mexico that Iglesias'
forces have been captured by Gen. Ignacie
Martinez one of Diaz' lieutenants. Iglesiaz
is sick and tired of the strife, and asks to be
allowed to retire to his rancho.

At meeting of the Turkish Council OF Min
listers, held at Constantinople the last pro-
poeals of the conference were rejected, as con-
trvTy to he dignity Of the empire. In reject
ing them, the Turks in effect refuse all prac-
tical guarantees, and give the great powers to
understand that no Intervention in the affairs
of the Sultan's European dominions will be
tolerated. It remains for the Christian Gov
ernments now to submit to the rebuff with
what grace they may, or sanction armed inter-
vention by Russia and Austria, on some such
terms as those as those originally proposed by
the Gar.
Tho English press comments freely on the
failure of the European conference. The gen.
eral sentiment is that war may not necessarily
result as consequence Of the failure.
great landslide recently occurred between
Vienna and Trieste, destroying portion of the
railway, blocking up the river San, and putting
an embargo upon travel. r
Manifestations of the growing enmity be-
tween Germany and France are continually
coming to the surface. The cable reports that
the German Government has positive evidence
that there is being formed in France large
monastic conspiracy for purposes hostile to the
former. 9
The Berlin correspondent of the London
Times telegraphs that "the Turkish Ministers
have given their word not to attack Servia be-
fore the expiration of the armistice. If peace
is not concluded before the end Of the armis-
tice, Turkey viii probably revert to her orig
inal demand that certain Servian fortresses be
destroyed and others surrendered"

Three Industries.

There are struggling for existence and
awaiting recognition at the hands of the
farmers of this country three branches
of industry:
l. The flax industry, by which some
$25, 100000 annually could be saved
which is now paid to Europe. We have
all the fertile soil and our people are
waiting to raise the fiber. Who will see
to it that this industry has helping
hand?
2. The sugar-beet industry, by which
we could easily save another 1875, 900, 900,
which is now paid to assist Sr ain.
There are successful mills in California
and one in Illinois. Our farmers want
the employment, and will not some one
give this industry hft2
8. The alpaca industry is apparently
more firmly established than either of
the others, and is more hopeful of sue
cess. The mohair is raised to consid-
cradle extent in Georgia, Kansas and
Nebraska, and more largely still in Cali
fornia and Oregon. Three factories are
already in existence, one at Jamestown,
N. j., one at Chicopee Falls, Mass, and
one, the Oldest and most successful, at
Holyoke, Mass.
These industries are Justly part of
the pursuit of our people, and should be
encouraged and firmly established. It
cannot ne said that protection to these
industries is encouragement to monopo-
lies. The farmer must first raise the
beets, the flax and the mohair. and
the machinist must furnish the ma
chinery, the lumberman and brickmaker
the building materials, and the laborer
and operatives must be employed in all
the branches to do the work.
In the beets there will be food for he
cattle and fertilizers left from the pro-
duct of sugar ; in the flax there is seed
and tow as well as the fiber, and in the
mohair the goat furnishes meat, enriches
poor soil, and the pelts are so valuable
that these animals are raised in one Sec
ton in California for their pelts alone
for mats, mittens, etc. Shall we have
these three additional sources of wealth

The Chinese Method.

This is the way they collect old debts
in Monkden, China: The creditor cast
the debtors father, aged 70, into prison.
The son had no moneys the father had
much. The iailors tied the old man,
hand and foot, in stocks, to post two
feet high, so that he could neither sit
nor lie down, and kept him there several
days. The process did not wrench a
penny out of the old miser. They then
cramped his foot into place between his
manacled hands and left him one night.
On the next morning they found a corpse

oven of Winnsboro, obtain from the
Legislature the right to levy local
tax. BY means of this tux, and tho
portion of the State fund duo tho
town for white school, at least
twelve hundred dollars should be
realized. A contract should thon
be made with the Mount Zion Socic-
ty to establish a graded school with
primary, intermediate and high
school departments. Since tho
State guarantees elementary in
structions, the primary department
should be open, FREQ of charge, to
all white childron in tho township.
For the niger grades, Mr.. Stuart's
proposition should be adopted, the
tuition foe being fixed at, say, onos
half the rates now charged at the
Institute. No pupil should be
entitled to enter the high grades
without paying his tuition.
Such is, in brief, the outline of
scheme which appears to supply tho
pressing need of the people for
education. It will bo impossible,
for many years yot, to secure public
schools of high grado An annual
tax of four mills is required in
wealthy Massachusetts for her
schools, and the amount raised, is
over six million dollars yearly, or
moro than twenty dollars to each
child. The tax in South Carolina
realizes about ono dollar per child,
and yet people grumble about ex-
travaganco. Tho necessity for ''half-
and-half" schools, in this condition
of affairs, becomes apparent.
If the school amendment be rati-
fled, the money may be raised with
out resorting to local taxation.
If this plan be tried one year, with
q liberal supply of money, and good
teachers, we believe it will bo por-
manontly adopted. The difficulty
of raising the required sum will be-
come less difficult year by year.
In this connection it may be stated
that tho Peabody trustees will con
tribute threo hundred dollars year
to any school averaging oighty-fvo
scholars for ten scholastic, or nine
calendar months. Such q school
could be secured in Winnsboro by
tho plan proposed above.
We commend this whole matter
to the serious consideration of tho
Mount Zion Society, and the citizens
generally. Whatever steps they
may take, should be taken promptly,
for host of children are growing
up in ignorance, and will soon be
beyond the reach of the instructors
voice.

How to Secure Good School in
Winnsboro.

MIR. 3. Il. Stuart, who has dev0-
ted large portion of his life to the
education of youth, has recently pro
posed q scheme for the promotion of
education in this State. Briefly
stated, his plan is to establish in
every town high school, ono-half
of the expenditures of which are to
be betrayed by the State, and tho
other half by the pupils. Ho pro.
pesos to incorporate these mstitu-
tions into the public school system,
and to have them placed under tho
supervision either of State inspecs
tor or of q professor of the State
college. The s'aiding SYSTEM" pro-
posed by Mr. Stuart, and modeled
upon the. schools of Prussia and
other European nations, possesses
many meritorious features, and is
woll adapted to our present condi-
ton, where the people are too poor
to maintain private schools, and the
Legislature too frugal in it's appro-
priations to secure advanced public
instruction. These "half- hall"
schools are peculiarly fitted to mark
tho transition stage between the old
and tho new system.
While Mr.. Stuart's proposed
scheme is admirable in theory, it's
"details, we fear, cannot be carried
out. He asks that one-ffth of the
State appropriation be set aside for
the maintenance of these high
schools. Unfortunately, the State
fund is not sufficient to support
even elementary schools for more
than three months and it is not
improbable that the State Superin-
tendont will strenuously oppose the
diversion of any portion of it to
other purposes. Recourse must be
had to other sources Of aid. In o
word, the old local tax law must be
depended upon to supply the need
ful cash. So Objectionable had this
law become under the Radical mis-
rule that it was expunged from the
statute book last session. The in
terests ofpublic instruction demand
it's re-enactment with restrictions
and safeguards against abuse.
AS tho constitution expressly
provides that the poll tax shall
never bo increased, local school taxa.
ton has always been levied solely
upon property. For this reason it
appears to us that it would not be
unconstitutional to pass a law sub.
mitting the question Of a local tax
to those voters only who pay taxes
other than the poll tax. This would
obviate the abuses to which tho old
law was subjected, and would, we
think, be not.unacceptable to proper
ty owners. And granting, even,
that the Legislature would refuse to
enact a general law of this nature, it
would not refuse to pass special
act for any community of taxpayers
desiring it.
Amending, therefore, the details
OF Mr.. Stuarts scheme, we would
make the following suggestion.
