hope you will pardon the suggestion,
but perhaps you could do nothing to
advance the cause of educaslon 80 et-
fectually as by disseminating every
kind OF information in regard to the
immense advantages and benefits of
cotton manufacturing at the South.
Northern capital is comingaamong us
by the million to erect cotton mills
to be run both by steam and water
power. The capitalists themselves,
with their families ana frisnde, will
soon follow; go will expert operatives,
akilled mechanics, africans and. la
borers. Our supply Of factory sites
and raw material is unlimited, and
the annual profits OF converting the
white fiber into cloth amount to hum
dreds of millions of dollars. There
fore let us rejoice at the thousand ev-
idencea exhibiting all over the South
that our people are at last resolving
to work the never failing source OF
wealth at their doora, which has so
long enriched and strengthened our
enemies. Cotton manufacturing will
bring US riches, population, good
schools and general Intelligence, all
Of which will shortly abide at eve"y
water fall and other eligible point in
the South if we be true to ourselves.
I shall not discusithe detail Of pro.
posed amendments to the present
school law, but, once for all, wiah it
to be understood that l favor as hign
taxation as the people can bear, both
for improving the common schools and
for recognizing and rebuilding the
South Carolina College or University,
30 as to make it .iirstclass institu'
sion, equal to any in the lard for i'm
parting either q literary scientific or
technical education Good popular
education always goes downward
never upward-andk it .is the great
Universities ofHaryard, Yale, Brown,
Dartmouth and Burlington, more
| than their common schools, that have
| rendered New England so enlighten-
ed and 30 practical.-.'
It may be said now,.ras it was two
thousand years ago, and will be two
thousand years hence, that "knowl-
edge is power" The explanation
why little and naturally barren New
Eng!an rules the United States to-
day and has practically ruled them
80 long, is that every child in those
petty, inhospitable States is we'll ed
ucated in both theoretical and practi-
Cal knowled se, as was his father be-
fore him. So too, if South Carolina
would concentrate her efforts upon
education and cotton manufacturing,
I have an invincible faith that the
old commonwealth would quickly
begin to riae up grandly out OF her
rulna.

by the meeting Of the General Assembly
the wishes Of our voters can thus DC un-
InisLakably ascertalned.

Congressman Tillnan voicing the Pop.
ular sentiment.

This week we publish, in full, the long,
interesting and valuable letter to the Aiken
Journal ,t Rsrie'o-a paper deeply. no.
bly and effectively interested in the
great cause-sin response to request for
his views upon education in South Carroll
no. Our people. We know. will follow
their distinguished representative through
this lette: with peculiar interest. He be-
lieGes that whatever - done ior education
in South Carolina must be done By South
Carolina herself. without expecting help
from the North or the nation. And a.
ready she is doing much. The blacks re-.
ceiye more for schools than they pay into
tho treasury for MI purposes. Mr.. Till
!nan believes tina liberality to be q little
strained.
And certainly. Mr.. Tillman hits the
Nail OF the head when he gives as the
CHIEF obstaclea to education, poverty and
sparseness-rather than any great defect
~ our school system. With money aud
with denser population, the present sys-
ten. with 3 few changes, will be all that
is necessary. Until these are secured. no
aysieu, public or private, will give CON-
pIe,e satisfaction. \ hundred children
GIN be taught in one schoo! for one-tbird
or one-iour b the amount required for Il e
instruction Of the same nu,uher scattered
among hali dozen or more different
places.
50 far as'the education of the colo.ed
people is concerned, they are citizens Ct
the country and vii! remain here and it
is the interest. as we'll as the duty Of the
State to educate shefn. \ thorough edu-
cation will make them bet er citizens, just
ss it will improve anybody. The conduct
Of the blacks in politics has certainly been
disheartenirg to their best friends, and hss
undoubtedly given reason for the outciY
against educating them. But South Car
o!.ns can no more sdvarce with barbar-
Gus race ID her midst than can Liberia or
Sierra Leone. She must educate all her
children. and do all she can 10. schools,
or she will fail to secure any OF those stur-
dy and intelligent immigrants that are
inst now so eagerly sought.
NJ. Tillman, in our opinion, voices the
popular sentiment in arguing ior the best
cducation and Tor common schools. Our
school system is working its way steadily
in spite o! all the elnbarrsssments that
nave heretofore encompassed it. We must
work and wait-work diligently and gen
erously. IL ten years, in all probability,
our puolic school system will be the boast
Of our State, as ia the case in older COM
monwealths.
