Bill Arp on Marriage.

Now We are going to have lots
of railroads down South, and the
building Of 'em will scatter pow
er o money among onr people and
increase the yalue of orr lande ana
give employment to our young
men. We are going to como in
contact with Northern industry and
Northern economy. Oar boys will
learn, to move mp with slacrity. fer
those men won't tolerate any fool
ing around. No time to go coon
hunting or to camp meetings or
mardi gras-hardly time enough to
get married, and as for fellow
conrtiDg girl like we used to on
a PIC mic or fishing frolic, it's not
to be thought Of. A teller has got
to shoot on rhe wing COW or not at
all. The girls will have to do
most OF the counting for they have
the most time. When they fancy
a young man they must sing
"Whistle and I'll come to you my
lad" and if ho whistles it's all
right, and he ought to whistle. I've
no patience with yonng man who
won't whistle. l don't believe in
a young man waiting until he gets
rich before lie marrles. It's a
fraud on the girls, for not many of
the young men get rich, and those
that do, get USED to doing without
a wife and do not marry at all.
That's what's the matter with New
England now. The boys go off to
get a fortune and never como
back any more, and those who stay
at home wait till the flush of lite
is gouc and SO the country is about
to lose It's identity. The Irish and
Dutch are crowding ont the native
Puritans, and | don't care much if
they do. So it's all right, l reck-
on. It's all right.

National Aid for Public Schools.
Charleston News and Courier.


The evidences multiply that any
Just and liberal measure which has
for its object the immediate exten-
sion of the Public School system
will receive the hearty approval of
the people. It is seen that in the
South where, in consequence of the
magnitude of the colored popula-
ton, illiteracp is more general. and
is, therefore, most dangerous, the
States, tax themselves as they may,
are unable to provide speedily the
requisite number of schools and
make the sessions as long as req IL
site. In course Of time, as they
grow and prosper, the States VIII
be able to do it, but neither the
country in general l,or the States
can afford to wait, and it is only
fair that the National Government
which put the load upon the States
should help them to car1y it. Look
at the facts.
The Census Bureau reports that,
last year, there were in the United
States 4,923,451 persons ten gears
old and over who could not read.
Nearly Z per cent. of the whole
white population (43, ,4O2 97O) could
not read, and AZ per cent. of the
colored population (6,752, ,8l3) were
in the same predicament: But in
particular States the proportions
are far worse. In thirteen States,
the number of persons ten years old
and upwards and the percentage
Of the total population who cannot
write is a. follows:

It was the privilege of the writer
to visit the picturesque. little town
of Arlington, VT, which at the time
boasted a population of $500, three
churches, five stores, two hotels, an
extensive car works, sash and blind
and chair factory, also a peg factory,
which by the courtesy Of the fore
man, Mr.. L. E. White, (who had
been employed there twenty-nine
years. he was shown through, and
received valuable information. The
timber used is black and yellow
birch, which is cut into pieces four
feet in length, varying in diameter
from eight to fourteen inches. These
logs are placed in a building in win
ter and the frost extracted by steam.
They are then run in on a train rail
way to the circular saw department.,
and cut into slices or blanks of the
thickness desired for the length OF
the pegs. These are sorted and the
knots cut out, and are then passed
on to a long bench which contains
six machines composed of fiuted roll
ers. The blanks are then run be-
tween these rollers, which creases on
both sides. They are then run
through again to cross crease, or
mark out the exact sizes Of the pegs.
They then go to the splitting ma
chimes, which are set with double
knives, and cut the blanks into pegs.
As they pass the last machine they
are sorted, and all knots and discol-
ored ones removed as they are brush
ed off into large baskets. The ma
chimes are under the care of young
women, who appeared mnch more
happy and useful than do many of
those who, humping at the piano,
would consider such employment
menial. The next process is bleach
ing, which is accomplished by the
fumes OF birthstone, which is un-
healthy-(those W h o labor here
shorten their lives.) They are then
placed in large cylinders, which hold
eleven barrels, and have six hundred
steam pipes running through them,
and revoIve one and one-haif times

per day to each cylinder. They are
then passed into large wooden casks

that there be no discrimination in
the application of the National
school fund, and that the schools
be kept open fer a given number
of months In each yerr, and, if nee
essary, that the State raise a spec
flied sum itself for school purposes.
There should be also, as in the But
ler bill, provision for Withholding a
States share Of the fund, if the
State violate its agreement with
the General Government in any
way. But beyond this, the law
should not go. Senator Blair's bill
does. 1t is liberal in the amount
proposed to be given, which is S15,-
100000 the first year, $14,00O,0OO
the second, $13,0OO,O09 the third,
and diminishing at the rate of a
million a year, until ten annual ap-
preparations shall have been made.
But the machinery is complicated
and Objectionable. The President
is to appoint a commissioner of

ury is ''charged with the practical
administration of this law through
the Bureau Of Education, and all
moneys paid under its provisions

to the Individual performing the

be due" There is no assurance Of
corporation with the State author

ers would control the whole busi
ness in practice, and the teachers
and others would become the sti-
pendiaries of the General Govern
ment. The States are ignored
They are treated as if they could
not be trusted to eSpend honestly a
few hundred thousand dollars. The
Blair bill, in practice, will manage
Or control the State machinery and
methods Of instruction, which is
squarely in conflict with the Dis
pGtchs first suggestion. Yet ou,

Square Talk.

In response to an inquiry from
the editor Of that paper the VIII
mington ReUiew of Saturday pub
fishes the following explicit card
from Hon. A. NJ. Waddell:
Josh z: James, Editor Of tie Daily
Reeieao:
DEAR SIR Il have received your
note of this date, and thank you for
its directness and candor. While
kindly disbelieving it, you ask me
if L am, what "rumor" says I am
in the Raleigh Nescs o1eg Observe,
what is called the coming Malone
of North Carolina I might an
swer in monosylable, but [ prefer,
first, to inquire what this phrase
means. Mr.. Malone was elected a
Senator from Virginia by a Demo-
cratic Legislature, and, after voting
with the Republicans in the organi-
zation of the Senate, organized a
campaign in Virginia on the ques-
ton of readjusting the State debt,
which resulted in the defeat of the
Democratic party of that State.
There are but two parties in the
country, the Republican and the
Democratic parties. While [ be-
lieve that in the contest in Virginia
there was room for argument, and
while | know that the Governor
elect is a gentleman of remarkable
talents, Of unblemished character and
unquestioned courage, it would be
tritiing to deny that the victory was
a Republican triumph.
To be "the Malone of North Car
olina," therefore, is, as I understand
it, to be the organizer and leader OF
a movement by which the State is to
be turned over to the Republican
party, and the question put to me,
therefore, is whether I propose to do
this thing?
I once had proposition made to
me when the Republican party was
omnipotent in this State, to accept
the highest office in its gift, and ]
declined it. [ subsequently took q
nomination from the Democratic
party when its banner was in the
dust, and when, in this district, there
was "none SO poor to do it rever-
ence,' and for eight years carried
that banner to victory by ever IN
creasing maiorities.
In 1878 the representation from
| this district was transferred, 6y ~
tauH o. mi3ie, to other hands, an(
since then, excepting FIVE months ol
hard work for Hancock, in 1880,
have been private citizen, trying
to make an honest living.
Now, the occupieis of the anxiou
bench are exercised about the nev
deal, and ''feelers" are put out in t,,i
newspapers to ascertain the position
| of others.
As far as [ am concerned the,
need not be disturbed. ] haye beel
told that / am too candid Tor a poll
tician. The charge may be true. 4
any rate | will run the risk Of just
Tying 1t by saying that have tie
quently criticised the managemen
of the Democratic party, and wi
probably do it again; but when
want to sever my connection with
I will do it like man, and not un
der false pretenses. l believe ii
best interests Of the people Of Mort
Carolina will be served by the X
tention of that party il power, an
when ] change this opinion the fir
knowledge the people will have of
= will come from me, and not frol
e anonymous newspaper correspol
e dents. Yours truly,
A. M. WADDFLL.

write is az follows =:

In the States named, from II to
% in every hundred whites cannot
read, and from 80 to SO coiored
persons. The highest percentage
of white illiteracy is in North Caro-
lima and the lowest in Mississippi.
The highest percentage Of colored
illiteracy is in Georgia (53,9S) and
the lowest in West Virginia. South
Carolina is not as good as the best
or as bad as the worst, but the fig~
ures are OMNIBUS enough. The
population Of the State is 995,577 /;
and 321,760 persons ten years old
AID over cannot read. Thirty two
per cent. of the voters, it is fair to
assume, cannot read the ballots
they deposit on election day. The
number Of whites WHO cannot write
is SO, ,777, and the number OF color
ed persons is 310,071. There is in
these figures a full explanation OF
the difficulties which the State en-
counters. Nowhere should there
be more earnest effort to obtain
from the General Government help
tor the public schools.
One OF the earnest advocates Of
National appropriations for school
purposes islthe Richmond Dispatch,
which makes two suggestions:
1. Any aid given should be in
support OF State systems of instruc-
ton. Congress should not seek to
manage or control the State ma
chinery and methods Of education.
If an appropriation be made the
Government Will, Of course, pro
vide for minute inspection Of the
expenditures, and adopt the neces-
sary safeguards against misuse OF
waste.
2. To set apart the proceeds OF
the public lands to the education
of the people may be wise as a per
manent policy of the Government
but to rely on such aid exclusive ell y
or mainly, in our present necessi
tous condition. would be tantallzine
and deceptive. Something afford
ing more immediate and adequate
relief is demanded. We need a di
rect and large appropriation fron
the Treasury, which should be con
ditioned on liberal cooperative ac
ton on the part of the States bene
fitted by the grant.
} This is undoubtedly the fact. W
, need direct and large appropria
ton from the Treasury, and Sena
tor Butler, who has introduced
; bill to devote to educational pur
, poses the proceeds OF the sales {
+ public lands and the fees from pat
. ents, will not stop there, if there b
= an opportunity to obtain mo,
! money in a quicker way. I'll
Nea0s and Courier has already sai
that the States must not expect
have the same freedom in spendir
money raised by general taxatit
10 that each State has in disbursir
: the school fund raised entire
in within the State. But it is eqeal
er clear that nothing should be do
ae that will lower the dignity of t
er States. 1t is TO the interest Of t
