What is Not Learned In The Public
Schools.

From 1.-THE Public Schools OF
Brooklyn" by Joseph c. Hendrix,
in the Brooklyn Mngnsine:: 1t ia d
curious fact that many city boys reach
the end Of the school course without
being able to tell what a monkey
wrench IL, or describe cross cut saw
or define the Uses of turning lathe,
while piston, a steam box, or thr"t-
tlo valve ars all far beyond their ken.
They can, however, tell tbs number
Of elementary sounds u the whole
cluster of diacritical marks, all . /
which anon fadeiout of their srnind".
x II the limitel time that the
State has the privilege of teacl'ing
children in the Twelfth ward, it seems
abaurl to proceed with them with the
circumstance that marks tue work in
the schools on the Hill, where the
children will stay twice as long. Yet
this is the present system. To change
it means the risk of demagogic cry
Of one school for the rich and another
for the poor. Accordingly, the poor
suffer. Some liberty should be allow
cd to principal to suit the educa.
tion he directs To the necessities Of
those under bis care, that the boy
who must be bread-winning at twelve
shall not be despoiled Of valuable
time in ascertaining to shade the
fourteen sounds OF the vowel A.

SOuif CarOlina'S Cotton Crop.

We insist upon 1t, Notwithstanding
the natural demoraliz ,tion amonr, onr
planters, that South Carolina will
make 100000 bales of 400 pounds
weight this year.
We reach these figures by system
Of averages from period to period
which will be found far more reliable
than this or that mans demoralized
view Of things. South Carolina near
ly always undertakes her crop in hel
estimates, whilst Georgia overvaluef
hers.
This crop in South Carolina would
call for something over 100000 bales
of 400 pounds for the country. Such
a crop ought to command good fail
prices, with anything like reasona
BILE revival Of business. 1t positive
ly does no good to understate the
crop. The result is always a vely
hurtful revulsion az the honest truth
comes to light. And there are toe
many people watching the facts to
escape the truth of things long

Such speeches as that Of Senator
Sherman few days ago cannot do
any harm when the antidote Of truth
ia promptly applied by newspapers of
his own section. Senator Sherman
laborcd very hard to convince the
people of Ohio that the colored peo.
pie in the South are denied the right
to vote, but the Springfield Repubh.
can reminds him that in the eleven
States which seeded, Mr.. Blaine re-
ceived 775,000 votes, against Mr..
Cleveland's 100000. "There was
probably some suppression or intiml
dation of tho colored vote in South
Carolina and Mississippi" says the
Republican, "but elsewhere the South
never had fairer election" and Mr.,
Cleveland "could have spared both
those States and still have been elect
cd" So it is-as The Rcpat6licam says
-"false ard wicked to charge that
he owes his election to crime OF
crimes. "-Ncaus and Courier.

Pensions.

South Carolina has never we think
been accused of the proverbial in
gratitude of Republics. But it seems
to us she might with some show Of
truth he accused Of degree Of negli-
gence in that she has not made pro-
visions for the care Of her disabled
and MANNED Confederate soldiers. 1t
is true that the number ia not very
large of this class, who cannot obtain
a livelihood OF some sort in this favor
ed country. 1t is true also. that
within few years the political condi.
ton of the State made it out of the
question, to do more than save the
State from the clutches of the thieves
and vandals that then had her in con-
troll. 1t is furthermore true, that not
until quite recently has the State been
in financial condition to warrant
her in assuming the burden Of pen
sion list. But there is no doubt now
of her prosperity. Our observations
confirm the report oil the statistics
that the State is on the high road OF
prosperity.
Daily we gee some veteran Of the
war with an empty sleeve, or wood.
en- leg, or who is suffering from the
effects of exposure and wounds, and
we are impressed with the fact that
the State that called upon them for,
and accepted their aid in her hour Of
need, should not forget nor neglect
them in her day OF prosperity and
plenty. The widows and orphans oi
dead Confederate soldiers need help
that they cannot and will not ask for.
Surely the State will come to their
aid. She owes it to those who gave
their lives and limbs in her defense -

PrinCely Poker.
The National Game in All It's Glory Oh

They Use no chips, AMI nothing leps

ante is SIS, and it is jack pot game
exclusively. Say there are eight
players; the play begins with $40 in
the pot. Nothing less than pair Of
jacks can open the pot. frequently
there is $l2O or more in the pot be-
fore anybody can open it. If any
body holds anything better than u
single pair it is incumbent upon him
to raise the pot-he must do it or
pass out. Blinds, straddles and
raises are unlimited, and bets are
limited only to 81 1000 The most fun
in the game, however, is in the pre-
liminaries before the draw. Ere.
quently the jackpot is up to 81 1000
bsfore the momentous event, and then
it is great sport to watch the jolly
old boys study over the relative value
of their hands. Sharon is usually
the luckiest player Of tho Het, but he
sometimes gets nipped. Oae after
noon they got jack pot worked up
to $4,000. Sharon drew to an ace
and ten and got two other aces and
smother ten, giving him an ace full.
He bet the limit and got raised an
other thousand. Then the jolly old

sam Jones' Tent.
Cloth to Cover Five Thousand People
10 be Spread on Greene Street,
Preparing for the National
Holiness Campmeetfng.
IAuo,tstn Eveni,ln Me,us

The. Sam Jones tent will BE- brought
to Augusta in few weeks and spread
in the v.cant lot in front Of St John 8
Methodist Church fer the great Octo.
Der meeting.
This tent will hold FIVE thousand
people, and its dimensions are 100 by
$50 feet. 1t will be hoored and filed
with seats, and the tent itself is wa
ter-proof. Sam Jones Gays he never
knew rain to interfere with religion,
and he has preached to as big crowds
under that tent in the rain as when
the sun was shining. The tent was
constructed while he conducted the
big Nashville revival, and he ia now
using it ct his old home in Carriers
vile.
This tent will be used for the Ma.
tional Holiness Camp Meeting, which
will open in Augusta on the Sd Of
October, and remain in session ten
days and perhaps longer People
will come from all over the Union, and
the preparations are about complete
for the session. Visitors will pay their
way, and all who will take boarders
during the meeting should leave their
names at Pendleton's book store. 1t
is utterly impossible for the hotels to
accommodate the crowd for there will
be several thousand visitors. 1t is
hoped, therefore, by those in charge
Of the meeting, that all citizens and
housekeepers who arc willing to board
visitors for few days will make the
fact known.
The great tent will be centrally To-
Gated near st. john. church, in which
those who cenHot get peasr, ean ed
iourn for special services. The tent
itself is too large for the space in the
vacant lot, and will extend out in the
street about fifty feet or to the park.
The authorities have granted this
permission, and the immenan affair
and the coming 70 the city will be ihe
centre of interest in the early days of
October.

PRINTERS INK Is KING.

There is host of men who boast
Of powder, cotton, steam;
But every hour the mighty power
OF printers ink is seen.
1t moves the world as easily
AS does some mighty thing,
And men proclaim in dcspots' ears
That printers ink is king!
The man OF gold, of wealth untold,
Printers ink may scorn,
Or knit his brow, nor deign to bow
To one so lowly born;
But printers ink has built its throne
Where minds their tributes bring,
And Gods most gifted intellects
Shout printers ink is king!
King of the world Of thought refined,
No abject slave it claims;
Where superstition's victims pine,
It bursts their servile chains.
In every cline, in coming years,
Will men proud anthems sing,
And round the world the echoes feat
That printers ink is king!

Prohibition and the Presidency.

CINCINNATI, September IA The
Prohibitionists are making this year
the strongest canvass that they have
ever managed in Ohio. DR.. Leonard,
their candidate for Governor, has ad.
dressed some very large meetings.
The main point Of his speeches is that
prohibition is the foremost issue in
American politics, that it is to destroy
one Of the two great parties by alb
sorbing the best men in both Of them,
and that the consequence will be the
breaking up Of the solid South. This
is in harmony with the private con.
versation of the leading Prohibition.

the South ib ripe for just such amove-

-Four Colored People Give UP Their
Lives Because Of n COnjurcr.

HENDERsoNvILLE, N. @. Sept. g.
At Brsvard lived Henry McCorklr,
colored, with his wife and four chill
dren, aged respectively, nine, seven
FIVE and two years. Three or four
days ago a colored woman named
Carver came there, saying she was a
Voodoo doctreas. They gave her
shelter and she remained there until
yesterday when she and McCorkle
became involved in quarrel and be
ordered her to leave the house. She
left in rage, saying she wonld con-
jure the whole family. This frighten-
ed McCorkle, who offered to let her
come back again, but she refused. She
went to a stream near by and gather
ed some mud which she made into a
ball, placed in it several hairs from
her head and six crooked pins. She
then returned to McCorkle's house,
and after pronouncing some gibberish
she fell on her knees and thew the
"conjure ball" against the door Of
the house, where it adhered. Nc.
Corkle was half crazed with fear and
begged the woman to remove the
"conjure ball." but she refused and
left the place.
In few hours McC Corkle complain
ed Of feeling i'll, and soon afterwards
his wife was compelled to take her
bed. Before nightfall all the children
were i'll and complained of gripping
pains in the back and stomach. A
neighbor who happened to be pass
ing came to Henderaonville and &c.
cured the services of two physicians
who repaired to thespot. They found
McCorkle dead and his wife dying,
and before assistance could be render
ed she was dead. Emetics were ad-
ministered to the children, the ply.
sicians suspecting poison. Two chill.
dren died before midnight. The other
two recovered. An autopsy reveals
that no trace of poison could be found.
