DOWN WITH THE COLOR LINE.

There is nothing that throws the
politics of this section Of the Union
into more unhealthy state than the
race question. Chatticld. mos,
intelligent, and apparently honest
representative of the cUlorcl race.
shows keen realization of the fact
in his letters of advice to his people
published in the Aiken papers. He
tells them plainly that there is no
use Tor them to take part in politics
until the solidity of the races is
broken. The wisdom of this cou rsc
is shown in Georgia and Virginia
where the color line in several cleo
tlons has been to great extent
ohlitcratcd. The solidity of the
blacks III South Carolina has caused
the solidity of the whites. 1t has
become a matter nf necessity, and
works iniurionSly to both races.
The injury to the blacks consists
III the tact that, i'll theirprcs cnt con
dition, they are not capable Of domi-
nation, and all their efforts to this
end will prove fruitlcsS. The injury
to the whites consists in the suppress
sion of political independence, and
the warping of everything into mar
row party grooves. The stubborn
ness ofthc blacks makes the whites
what they arc. II would he we'll if
they could realize that their course
of foolish opposition is leading them
to ruin. BY their present action
they are building up Bourbonism be-
cause the bitterness ana solilitv of
the chl"rrd people prevents the
slightest deviation from the laws of
safety and SrlfprcScrvatinn ON the
part Of the whites. 1t is an unfnrtu
nate state of things when people vote
according to the color of mans
SKIN, Instead OF according to the
merits of his cause.
Let both races rndravor TO brc,l;
down the color line, and we will have
elections conducted upon higher
principles, anil mu, of partisan bit
| tcrncss will b" removed from all fu
| turc campaigns.

TIE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.

Flow to make the public school
system of our State effective seems
to us subject which should engage
the attention of every advocate of
education. The greatest difficulty
that stands i'll the way Of the success
ofthc public system Of education is
the inadequacy of the fund appro-
priated for the purpose. TO raise
enough money to accomplish the pur-
poses of education, would require nt
least three times the appropriation
now made. This is more than the
taxpayers can stand. What then is
to be done? 1t seems to us there is
but one plan. Let the parents and
the State combine for the education
of the children. AS soon ms the pub
lie fund is exhausted, let the parents
take hold and continue the schools
for the full school year of nine or ten
months. In this way good teachers
could be secured, and there is hardly
community SO poor, or so sparscly
settled, rs not to be able to support Il
good school. The trouble is that the
people depend too much on the State
to do all, and they don't help them
selves enough. With schools run
upon this plan in the country, and
regular graded schools, aided by an
additional lcc.l tax, in the towns and
villages, the public school system
would be effective and productive of
good results. Let school trustees do
their duty i'll thiss respect, and let
the people give them their support,
anl the Improvement in our cduca-
tional interests would be visible i'll a
short time.

Yet there is responsibility resting
on the press which should urge the
editors to do their duty in educating

progress on all subjects of political
and social life

Editor Ordnyeburg 7imcs:
Thinking i'll all probability, that
it might be of some benefit to those
who cry out | can't, and don't believe
it, write to let YOU and all con
crrncd KNOW what one of our one
horse farmers made this past year.
He made with one horse fifteen heavy
bales of cotton and quite plenty OF
corn to do the place, fine crop of
potatoes, in fact, plenty of provisions
ofall l:inds usually made on a farm.
Now, think that is doing pretty well
for Cav Cav Township. This gentle
man is Mr.. VIM. Bozzard, Sr. He
formerly lived below Oranrcburn
village, and moved up here Il few wears
ago, and bought place in the woods
from Mr.. John Spigncr, worked hard,
and now has aS pretty a little place
and III as iinc tilth, as You would wish
tosec. Mr.. Bozzard says he thinks
he can make 20 bales on the same
land this year, with seasons, by n
little more liberal application Of
manure. Now, why talk Of going
West to hunt good lands, when we
can make more here than we can
gather, with the same hands, and
have all the blessings of health and
civilization? But forhcar comment

y question has arisen as to the eli
gibility Of Gen. Chester a. Arthur to
the Office Of Vice President of the
United States. 1t is contrary to the
Constitution that any one should he

not a native of the United States.
The Philadelphia 7Tmrs asserts that
Mr.. Arthur was born in Canada
where his father lived ut the time of
his birth. Since Gen. Arthur has re-
ceivcd the hint, he is trying by the re-
collection of the "oldcst citizcns," TO
prove that he was born in an obscure

be a difficult one.

MANURE-sTOCK.

Editor Times:
am glad to see that "Critic" has
commenced to write again. A County
papcris is read and supported prin-
clpally by the farmers, and | think
they are entitled to have n portion of
1t devoted to them. "A farmers col
umn III the Times would not be bad
idea. The suggestions and practical
experience Of such writer's as "Cri-
tic, whose theories are so well de-
monstrated by their practice, are OF
incstimablc value to farmers. Fogics
may dcnouncc, as much as they
please what they snccringly style
book farming" but every intelligent
farmer loves to read about his occu-
patton. 1t not only adds to his wis
dom but to his happiness.
There is one point that l would
like to speak about. 1t is that of
making manure. Herein is the
grand secret Of success in farming
We ought to make our own manure
which builds up our land more til an
fertilizers. How are we to do it:
BY attention to our stock Let us
make good houses for all our cattle
as well rs horses, and put them under
cover, no matter what the trouble,
every night. In this way we not only
increase he quantity and quality of
the manure pile, but we protect our
stock. We lose too much by careless
ness with our stock and letting them
run wild. In the spring too we can
manure good deal, and very ctiectu-
ally with little work, by means OF
movable fences. Let us look to our
manure pile as to our money pile

10 our minds this is the only kind
OF immigrants that will remain with
us, and do lis permanent good. 1t is
impossible to induce any other kind
to stay. They will not compete with
the negro. AS Gen. Gary truly says
also, We must crush out the intolcra-
bic "eXclusivcncss" with which some
people are afflicted, or nobody will
settle permanently with us. We be-
licve though, that we are growing
wiser and better in this respect.
