Editor Orange1uay Democrat;
] read with some interest the Or
ganizing of the Teachers Institute,
and should urge the teachers in the
comfy TO enroll their names at once.
Your paper of the same date con-
tanned an article under the heading
of ''Our Schools" which, if read cor
rectly, advocates an additional tax
to keep Tie school in operation for
nine or ten n.onthsof the year, Now,
Mr.. Editor, yoH know that the wcrld
is full of grumblers, and if an extra
tax is imposed think the bachelors
and old maids, to say nothing Of
persons who have no children, or
care for education, would go to Tex-
as. Why not urge the parents of
children, through your much appre-
ciatcd columns, to the erection Of
suitable academies in advantageous
communities. The expense of build
ing would be much cheaper than in u
town; rs many persons would fur
nish building material and service.
Board could be had in good families
ut less expense than i'm village,
and fuel would cost nothing. You

culture and an opportunity. seri-
ously think, in the wake Of improve
ment, the county should be taken
into consideration, before villages.

trust in the county Of his birth, is not
unfaniilierwith III the general reader OF
our county, and deserces ut the hands
of the journalist more than passing
notice. His early life was struggle
with poverty,an eXempliiies how sue
cessfully persistent will can bring
its posscssor from the common walks
of life TO u position Of proud emf
nencc among his fellows. BY his own
individual efforts he obtained n liber-
al education and was graduated in
the Law School al The University Of
Virginia. Early in the war lie en-
tered tho service Of tho Confederate
States, and did duty at various
points In the West and on tho coast
until the close Of the war. After the
war lie returned to tho practice of his
profession and from that TING to his
death, he devoted mpch Of his time
and talents to the good of his fellow
citizens and the redemption from
Radical rule of his county, This lie
was the better enabled to do from
the position he occupied "a editor
and proprietor of the kingstrce Star
and County Chairman of the Demo
cratic party. The present condition
Of Williamsburg shows how we'll and
how faithfully lie performed his work.
The responsibilities of all the rcla-
lions of life he met bravcly and we'll.
AS friend he was strong in his at

Lamar and ConkIinq.

The long continued excitement al
Washington over the Appropriation
Bills culminated last week in a most
shameless passage Of the lie direct
between Senators Conkling, Of New
York, and Lamar, Of Mississippi.
or course the Radicals will make 30.
litical capital out Of the conduct ol
Mr.. Lamar in the campaign of, 1880.
They will swear it is proof point
blank that the South is still disloyal.
that the spirit of rebellion slumbcrs
like pent up fires in the bowels Of a
volcano, that the war with its vast
expenditure of morcy and blood by
the North is 4 failure and must be
fought over again before the South
can be made to learn her ahject de-
pondcnce upon the bencvolencc OF
the North. '.t
1t is we'll for the people every
where to rcmcmhcr that what was
called Radical rule at the South was
nothing less than robbery by legal
enactments, and that Our citizens
once rid Of it will have no more of it.
If our representatives are TO be goad.
cd into the committal Of such acts us
wall afford political food for hungry
fanatics like Conkling, Blaine and
others, they can digest it how and
when they may. or course such con-
duct as that displayed by Mr.. Lamar is
TO be regretted, because the temper,
that gives it birth, will be regarded
as an evidence Of rcbcllious spirit
and tho North will be tod by every
leading Radical to array itself
against the "iSolid 1South" 10 prevent
the rc-establishmcnt of, if not the
Confedcracy, at least the influence of
the old doctrine OF States Rights
which was the incipiency Of that
short lived but glorious state. 1t is
right, therefore, under the circum.
stances, that when such goads arc ap-
piled by Northern Radicals to Our
Southern Congressman, for them to
crush it down by any convenient
weapon at hand, even it be resort
TO the rufllanism used by Mr.. Lrmal.
toward this New York bully.
Something must be done to stop
these insulting taunts indulged in too
long already by Radical leaders in
and out Of Congress.

DR.. Webster's Letter.

DR.. Webster called at our office
one day this week, and in an inter-
view with us, claimed that we had
done him an injustice in the com
mcnts made recently on the letter
he wrote to the New York Tribune.
1t is not Our intention to do any man
an injustice, but ut the same time we
deem it our duty to condemn, in un-
mistakablc language, misreprescnta-
tions Of our State. In order that DR..
Webster may have fair play we pub
lish on our first page the letter re-
fcrred to, and below VIC publish the
editorial comments Of the Tribune,
published in the same paper with the
letter. We think this is fair and
just, and we leave our readers to judge
for themselves. One thing is certain
such letters do no good and the fewer
of them written the better. The fol-
lowing is the Tribunc's editorial
"The letter OF the Rcy. DR.. Webster,
Of South Carolina, which we print on
another page, is a thoughtful discus
sion Of the negro exodus by one.
whose profession and personal char
acter should cause his views to be re-
ceived with peculiar respect. DR..
Webster makes some statements
which will attract universal attention.
He declares that the idea of immigra-
ton to the West, so far from being
newspaper fiction, rs some would
have the country believe, or merely
temporary fright among ignorant
blacks, rs others have it, is dclibc-
rate purpose on the part Of many in
tclligcnt negroes throughout South
Carolina. They are cheated and op-
pressed by their employers, and are
deprived Of the right Of suffrage, and
for redress have only the courts to
look to which their opprcssors nd
minister. Utterly dishcartened by
the treatment they receive, and cs-
pccially by their inability to COM
mand the honest payment of decent
wages, they naturally look for an es-
cape TO some other section of the
country, where men arc treated as
men should be. DR.. Webster believes
that the exodus will benefit those who
GO rs we'll MS those who remain, the
labor market being ovcrstocled.
That those who remain will be better
off is proved by the alarm the South
ern planters have already shown at
the prospect Of losing their lahnrers
but the welfare of those who go is in-
volved in several problems of race
and climate which are yet to be solv-,

Napoleon w.

This Prince, who had Joined the
English service in Africa, was killed
recently, while on a Reconnaissance,
by party Of Zulus in ambush. He
WAS the Prince Imperial Of France,
and the news Of his death caused n
profound sensation not only in Paris
hnt throughout Europe. The Bona
pariist senator's and deputies in the
capitai oi France adopted rcsoiu-
tion, declaring that although Louis,
the Prince Imperial, is dead his cause
survives and the succession of the
Napolcons has not ceased, and that
,he Empire will still live.
This sudden and sad death ends
tue direct male line not only of Ma
polcon Bonaparle but Of his brothers
and therefore it falls with increased
force upon the cNiled Empress, his
mother. In 1906 the French Senate
made Il decree that, in the event OF
Napoleon leaving no male issue, Je-
rome, who had married Elizabeth
Patterson, Of Baltimore, should be
the successor Of the throne. Separa-
ting from KS American wife, he mar
ricd Princess by,whom he had two
sons and u daughter. Tho younger
Of these SONS, according to the po-
liticul testament, will succeed to the
empty title. 81, g4
If, however, any heir of the Napo.
leon family dare aspire TO the throne,
his expulsion from France will imme.
diately be proposed. Prince Jerome
Napoleon and his son arc both watch
ell 10y the Republicans and the slight
est intimatiion Of such q purpose on
their part will probably result in ban,

The Republican system as gov
crnmcnt for France does not meet
with the entire approval OF her citi.
zcns indeed, they arc not yet fitted,
nor can he for years to come, to as.
sumo the control OF their national po.
litical life. Threatcnings Of rcvolu.
lion are Of daily occurrence, and
while the Republicans arc fighting
among them themselves, the IuIpcri.
alists are becoming more assured and
stronger among the masses. The
flesh pots of the Empire arc as pre-.
cious in the minds of the average
Frcncllman rs those Of Egypt were
to Israel, and to return TO their enjoy.
ment in times of political troubles is
as natural TO The one as TO the other

The Casssas sy,eeui.

A good many Of the State papers are
now discussing the pranticability Of
ab"lishing the caucus syster. We
fail to see any necessity for a~bnlshing
the time honored custom. This is a
Democratic State, and those who rode
into the Legislature in opposition to
the Democratic nominees, shonld
not he allowed in the councils OF the
party.
In referring to this question, the
Natchez Democrat says:
Caucus nominations hav. been Tn.
almost universal practice Of Democratic
party now for years past, and it has
been found absolutely necessary t.
preserve the harmony OF the party, that
such a guide to combined action should
be recognized. 1t will be remembered
that we suggested during the late a n
vass that Democrats who we're running
independent of the regular Democratic
nominations wonld find themselv yes ont
side the regular organic ,tion. aud
wonId be left to join with the few
Radicals and Independents who might
he elected in a kind of forlorn hope. in
the organization and action Of the
Legislature.
We hope above all things that the
Senatorial aspirations OF any particular
person will not be allowed to interfere
with the solidiication of the D,mo>
cray Of Mississippi. This IS no tins
for personal aspirations to destroy the
unity of the Democratic party, wher
40 much is dependent upon its soiidif'
cation.
