Better Wages.

Correspondence fthe Democrat.
 Al. who attended the last Pope County Teachers Institute, held at Gravel Hill, know that the subject of better wages was discussed to a considerable extent, and the subject was laid over for the next Institute, when, according to programmed will undergo q thorough discussion.
 Now hope the teachers who are calculating to attend the next inssi- ute is giving this subject no little thought. l hope some feasible rlan may be brought about, that will work harmoniously and satisfactori- ly, to the purpose in view. l do not believe tho teachers of this county want to, or even have any idea Of coming out in the form of a strike. Some of the most prominent teach CTS of the country tell us that there has been league formed for this same purpose, teachers of certain grades obligating themselves to teach only for certain wages, and these same teachers also tell us that these obligations was almost immediately broken up by some of the signers. So it seems that mutual agreement in this way has failed to remove the maiady and it may be expected to fail again if attempted in that way.
 It is true that the profession Of foa la, iA al a wages are so trifing that one can scarcely support himself in the pro fession. Indeed, 1 know but few country school teachers who make q living wholly from their profession. This should not be of course, but the question seems to be, how are we going to remedy it? Since we can not put confluence in one another to fulfill obligations for this purpose, how are we to extricate ourselvcs? Teachers wages can be raised until it will pay much more than it does, but not by attempting to force the people to pay more. People, as general thing are not easily made do a thing they have no relish for, es- pocialy when there is no power to compel them to actien. As all dis eases are cured by first removing the cause, so it is in the case before us. The first thing to be done Is to find cause of all this trouble and remove it if possible and the thing is done. For there must be cause to pro duce so great an effect.
 It IS an old adage, "Poor wages has brought poor teaching" but the reverse comes nearer being true, Poor teaching has brought poor wagcs.' Now if this be the cause of all this uproar, why not strike at the root of the disease and remove it at once. If our labor for the people is net worth $50 per month we ought not demand it. If we would have the people pay us good salaries, we should be sure we give them some thing in return. am persuaded if all the teachers of Pope county would go to work assiduously and earnest ly to improve their iabors for, and with the people, thls cry of poor wages would be thing of the past, and we would have schools that would meet the expectations of the most ardent friend of education.

Although cotton is low, still our merchants are paying every nickle it Is worth. It is pity that cotton has to rule so low, but it is the Inevitable re- suit of large crops. It is hard on the farmer and on the merchant also, but how it can be helped is the question. We see no help for it only to cut off tho extent of the crop hereafter and reduce its size, and then perhaps it's price can be enhanced.
