This summer we have seen much Of the
schools and school systems Of North Caro-
lima and Tennessee, and also of the
teachers Of both States, and, as body,
We will place the teachers of Anderson
County BY the side of anything ne have
seen and have no fear of suffering from
the comparison. Our school system We
regard as superior to theirs in most re.
spects, though in Some we might copy to
advantage, as for instance in the matter
of employing teachers, the Trustees are
prohibited by Law from employing any
teacher who has not attended County
Institute, the State thus exercising closer
supervision over those who are to train
her children. This, and the fact that
Tennessee pays her teachers good living
salary, from s35 to $50 per month, is
creating body of professional teachers
that will, in a few years, surpass us, unless
We take some steps forward, Then, again,
the Trustees have,in the last tHo or three
years reserved a portion ofthe public fund
for building purposes, and almost every
where We went ne were greeted with a
newly painted school house, or one in
process of erection, and these houses are
we'll supplied with patent desks and
other equipments. Then again in many
places they have laid off the Counties
into small School Districts of convenient
size, with school house in the center,
thus giving to each District permanent
location, which can only be changed by
law. But the children have not made
the advance in their studies that the
children Of Anderson County have, thus
showing that our teachers will more than
compare favorably with theirs. This,
while encouraging to US, should not lead
US to feeling of self:satisfaction, but
should stimulate us TO gr:ater exertion to
keep ahead in the lace. They are getting
in good shape for effective work, and We
should make advances each year all along
the line in the way Of better houses, bet
ter teachers, and better work.

Education and Christianity.

How powerful for good the Cath

among the Indians is testified to
by all who have informed them
selves on the Indian problem.
Here is piece Of testimony to

which says that the Indian prob

four things: allotment of land in

A committee of the Legislature
has made a careful investigation

from the most deplorable TO the
fairly prosperous. The lowest

fcation Of those uncompleted the
previous winter, but that the sub
ject was not partic cularly brought
to his attention, and it was sup
posed that after due approval in
all proper cases the work was pro-
ceeding satisfactorily. Late in
January, however, he was advised
that all work Of every sort, had
been suspended because no approy-
q Of the contracts had been sent
the agent. Logging had been COM
menced without waiting for ap-
.proyal. The commissioner Of In
dian affairs informed the secretary
that the delay had been caused BY
lack of information as to the suffii-
cheney Of the stipulated prices.
This information can only be sup
piled BY experts. In view Of the
losses incident to stoppage Of
work, on Jan. 81, directed that
cutting be allowed to proceed at
the contractors risk, the price to
be subject to the commissioner s
modification.
Previous to the suspension Of
logging upon this reservation, our
Indian lumbermen had already
done fair headway. And when
orders came to stop further oper-
ations upwards Of 3 900, 900 feet Of
logs were left on the skids. The
several contractors indebted in
the sum Of 81, 500 and about 100
laboring men had to lay down
their work and, with heavy heart,
face homewards and return to
their destitute families with empty
purse, and whose wages are
still forthcoming to them. A
communication has lately been
submitted to the G Commissioner Of
Indian affairs, signed by the sever
al contractors, asking that priv
ilege be granted them to at least
haul and bank the logs cut and
skidded previous to the suspension
order. So that individuals, who
labored in good faith, could, in a
measure, be compensated and their
needy families enjoy the benefits
Of their labor, and that those who
furnished supplies, etc., receive
some benefit for the advance made
We earnestly hope that the De.
partment may see this matter in
a favorable light and grant the

Thinks It Worked Injury.

On the 23d inst, the Sec'y Of
the Interior in response to the
Senate resolution calling for infor-
nation regarding timber cutting
on Indian reservations. says:
That until immediatel, before
the investigation Of timber cutting
began by the Senate committee on
Indian trades his attention had
never been given to the matter Of
logging operations upon these res
ervations, having been less than
two months in Office, and never
previously having been led to
know anything of these operations,
50 that beyond the mere fact that
logging was carried on upon lands
of the Indians, as had for some
years been done, he had no knowl-
edge Of the matter. When there
fore, suggestion was made by the
committee that it was advisab BILE
to give telegraphic orders to stop
the cutting Of timber upon the
reservation under contract with
the Indians he immediately acted
upon the suggestion and ordered
the cutting Of timber stopped.
The secretary says that subse-
quent inquiries and reflection have
satisfied him that the telegraphic
order made was a mistake.
Unjust and Harmful

waste and loss upon the Indians
and contractors by leaving unfn-

For this reason authority was Civ

cutting under certain restrictions
during the present winter.
When the timber cutting on the
Wisconsin reservations was stopp-
ed in March last, there were IL
different firms, all Of good repute,
means and experience, employed
on the reservation. They were
al engaged by contracts in the
form prescribed by the Indian
Office and were pursuing the bust
ness substantially as during the
previous year All the contracts
had been approved by the Indian
agent but, as in former years, had
not been approved, before cutting
began, BY the G Commissioner Of In
dian affairs.

tary says he verbally advised him
