GREENWOOD. s.. C., May 2, 1884.
To the Editor OF fhr NctDs ana Chnrier:
Your issue OF the ed instant contains a state
ment of my arrest and imprIsonment under
tempt Of his Court. This, without .eXplann
ton, places me before your readers In an nn-
enviable light. 1t is the highest duty OF the
citizen to obey the law, and under this con-
viction OF duty I bowed snbnissively to the
authority vested In the Courts OF the state,
nreferr!ne the consciousness OF heing obedient
10 authority rather than resent It's abuse and
arbitrary exercise. 49,.
Please do me the Justice to publish the &C.
campaigning certificate OF the jurors, oil OF
whom are white mcn. and rank among our
best citizens. w. X. BLAKE.

ercised are supposed to become
citizens there. This applies more
strongly to unmarried men than
to those with families. In the
district Of Columbia there is no
suffrage. The President appoints
the Commissioners and Congress
constitutes the Council The
government employee or official
in the service Of the people has
a right to return to the State Of
his last legal residence and exer-
else the privilege Of voting. In
some States this privilege is con-
ditional. Some require registPa-
ton, others the payment of State
taxes, within certain period.
West Virginia is silent in her
election law but it is a just and
proper inference that every voter
should at least be assessed for his
tithable or head tax and it is
fair test of the mans intentions.
Otherwise we submit there are
several persons helping run West
Virginia without furnishing any
contribution to the school fund.
The assessors books should be
examined on those questions and
this principle should be engrafted
on the election law by the next
legislature.

IN MEMORIAM.

Elsewhere will be found brief
sketch Of the life and services of
Hon. Charles j. Faulkner. The
data is gathered from notices
found in exchanges and from per-
sonal conversations with him in
his lifetime. 1t was our good
fortune to know him well and
well does the writer remember
his first interview, when as
stranger, scarcely more than a boy,
in May, 1865, he walked up
Boydville's broad avenue and
found the already distinguished
statesman and lawyer, sitting on
the porch, in meditation, with his
hat beside him! An acquaintance
was made and a friendship COM
menced, which was never broken.
Neither political discussion or OPP
position legal controversy or

often at wide variance, ever dis

tions and our memory of this de
parted great man, must always

A very appetizing way to cook
onions is to boil them in salt and
water until they begin to be ten
der; drain the water from them,
and wrap each onion in soft paper,
set them side by side into a drip
ping-pan, let them bake until done,
then put into vegetable dish
and pour rich brown gravy over
them; Spanish onions are espec-
tally nice cooked this way, us they
have so delicate a flavor.

the barber was nervous or at the

were simply punishment for neg

The National Debt.

In 1885 the National debt was
entirely paid of. In 1861 when
the Democrats went out Of power,
the National debt was $90000,-
600. In August 1865, the debt
rose to the highest point, namely,
50, $3.50 900. BY April, 1876 IL
had been reduced to $2,l98,009,-
900, and it is now only about
81 ,400,000,O00. This amazingly
rapid reduction of the war debt
shows how vast are the resources
Of our great country.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
A MERITED REBUKE.

: Ever since the creation of our
Independent School District of
Martinsburg, politics have not
been permitted to enter as dis
turbing element, until at the re-
cent election Of two members of
the Board of Education. 1t has
always been customary to elect
citizens favorable to the interests
and the advancement Of public
schools, without regard to party.
Some imprudent members of the
Blaine and Logan Club, forgetful
that the mission and purpose Of
the club was the election Of a
president and yice-president OF
the United States, on Friday
night of last week, took the liber
ty of nominating two Republicans
for members OF the Board of Ed
ucation. The bomb exploded on
Saturday morning, and the CO.
horts of Cleveland and Hendricks,
in council of war assembled, ex-
hibited their sense by nominating
two Democrats, and the Jugger-
naut ofss politics advanced on the
cause of education. The tax-pay-
ers, the teachers, the intelligent
quiet people scofed both efforts
One Republican and one Demo
crat was elected, and they the
members of the old board. This
should be sufficient warning to
the eXciteables and the irritables.
Remember that politics has alrea-
dy nearly dismembered our gov
eminent. Remember that politics
has already ruined your State
University. Whilst VIM. +. Ste
yenson was Governor he kept the
Board of Regents we'll divided be-
tween Democrats and Republi-
cans, and the West Virginia Uni
versity was n prosperous, honor
able and respectable institution.
Cows. Mathews and Jackson re-
versed this, made it a Democratic
political machine, and the result
is an apparition, without head,
body or substance. With your
public schools Democratic one
year and Republican the next,
utter, absolute incompetency and
ruin must follow. The Bible
should be sent into every public
school, but exclusive denomina-
tionalism under that Bible must
never dominate. So with politics.
The public veal, not factional in
terests, must not only be the aim
but the end accomplished.

A GREAT N NEWSPAPER The Pail
Mall Gazette, of London, England,
did not overstate the case when it
said that The Nea0 Yorh Independent
is tone Of the ablest weekiies in ex-
istence." 1t is as overwhelming
a monthly or quarterly magazine,
with all the matter in its many de-
partments. Any monthly might in
deed be proud il it could show as
distinguished list of contributors
as The independent. In single de-
partment-its story department.
we find, among Englishmen, such
contributors as Sir Samuel w. Baker,
the celebrated Egyptian explorer /;
Thomas Hardy, w. Il. Norris, James
Payn, f. w. Robinson and Henry
w. Lucy, the well-knowc and de-
servedly popular novelists while
among Americans we notice the
names of Edward Everett Hale,
Frank r. Stockton, IL. ii. Boyeseen,
Sarah o. Jewett, j. s., of Dale, Re
becca Harding Davis and Harriet
Prescott Spofford. The Independent
printed also, recently, the last story
from the pen of the late Ivan Tour
geneff, having secured the only
translation from the Russian into
English. This department is but a
sample ofthe others. 1t would seem
to us that The Independent offers not
only "ffty-two dividends during the
year." but, in addition, "a stock div
idend with each department. We
advise our readers to send for free
sample copy.
