and proceeded to deliver an Grafton upon ito

But" we answered. "our machine serves
us nicely and suits US well, and We do not

The agent, however, begged the privilege
of leaving one Of his machines with us, for

The request was not unreasonable so we
granted it-but more to ohige the agent
than anything else; for really we did not
want the machine, and had not the remotcst

did so, and as consequence fell in love
with it. They say that without the slight

their opinion the most desirable one to be
had.
The rpshot of the whole matter was that
the old machine was disposed of, and the

The Democrats and the schools.


The State fund given to the public
schools is fixed and cannot be altered,
but the county and district funds given
to the schools are fixed by the people
themselves. They can give more or
less-the question Of amount rests with
the county supervisors, who are elected
by the people. The charge has been
brought by Republican editors and
canyassers that the Democratic
people of Virginia are not at heart
friendly to the public schools. 1t is
very generally believed that when a
man gives money to an object volunta-
rily, and which there is no law to com.
pei him to give, he has that object much
at heart, his interest being generally
gagged by the amount he gives. In the
election Of 1881 Cameron carried 76
counties and towns and Daniel carried
SO. The following is the amount OF
money voted to the county and district
school funds by those counties sc
Daniel counties and towns, 1886, 900 A;
70 Cameron counties and towns, $751;
600.
Had the seventy-six Cameron (Re-
publican) counties voted money to the
schools in the same proportion as the
Daniel (Democratic) counties. they
ought to have voted the sum of s7l1,-
060 instead of s3Sl, 900. Which peo-
pie, Democratic or Republican, do these
figures show have the public schools
most at heart?

Edncation in the South.

Rev. A. d. MAYO is widely known
as a prominent educational worker Of
New England. who has also taken es-
pecial interest in education in the South.
He has not been satisfied with viewing
the southern educational problem from
afar off and with taking secondhand
evidence, but has made number
of visits to this section and
investigated matters for himself.
Recently he issued statement
setting forth what he learned during
these visits. Among other things, he
says that at the close Of the reconstruc-
ton period the southern States all were
ready to invest in systems Of public
schools, old Virginia leading, and that
every southern State, shy the DELHI
crate action Of its own people, without
compulsion from without, has estab-
lished a system of free education for
children Of both races and endorsed
the whole American idea of the support
of the secondary and higher instruc-
ton by the Commonwealth"
The Springfield tMass.) Republican,
in commenting on Mr.. MAyo's state
ment, says:
alt is therefore quite within the pro-
liabilities that the writer is correct when
he says that the efforts Of the South to
push free schools and higher grades Of
teaching have been equalled by no
people in human history But without
any comparative anatomy Of educational
endeavors it will be at least admitted
even by those Of the North-now hap
PLY few in number-who speak OF
southern progress with the cool innuen-
does Of sectional prejudice, that the
ELI 100000 paid last year by the
I southern States is no unmeaning sign
Of substantial progress"
And now the question arises, To
whom are the people Of the South in
debted for system Of free education
for the children Of both races in every
southern State! Will any man deny
that the public schools of the South
have been supported by the white peo-
ple--,he Democrats Of the Southg The
public-school system in Virginia was
established BY the Conservative Demo-
Gratis Of Virginia nearly six years before
the Constitution required it to be estab-
lished. The history Of free education in
the various southern States shows that
just in proportion as these States were
enabled to rid themselves Of the curse of
carpet-bagism-southern Republican
ism--they were enabled to put their
pubiic-school systems on sure foun-
dation. North Carolina affords a
notable example Of this fact. Yet
JOHN SHERMAN would virtually put
