Ma Chaptn and Senator Blair.

whateyer may be the wants of the Blalr
p;n and whether the people Of the South
should desire it to become law. we thlnk
that Mrs. Chaplin is gaining nothing either
hv her correspondence with the Radical Sen
otor or by her letters to the Ne,rs ana Courier
in which she champions the cause Oh tne
Bill. a
In the first place the Senator'S tone anu
manner are lacking in a proper respect ior "
lady. and Mrs. Chapin's prominence anu "c-
tiyIty In battling for morality and tehpor-
anee. It would seem, should prevent her from
engaging in, or taking part In, politicai ques-
tions, which divide the wisest and pest Oh our
politicians. AMY,
II would be impossible for the Senator even
with the assistance of Mrs. Chaplin, 10 MAKE
the p,ess and Banner believe that the biair
R,,, ,sintended to be anything else IMAM
rort,cal machine to be used against the
,vb,te neople of the South. The idea tRat
senator Blair Is interested in the welfare Oh
the white people of this section Of the coun-
trv- is so contrary to all other Radical acts'
that a. would take more than this mere asser-
t,on IN make MS believe that the Blair Bill
is for our benefit.
Has any Northern Radical ever SHOWN any
friendly interest In the white people VI 'ne
South? II so, we do not believe that ne HAS
ever attained official position.
The fact Is, that this craze for educatioh a.
public expense, is new development, ano'
as we think, has its foundation IN no oeepei
nor more solid foundation than the impress
of the conquerer on the conquered. All con'
ouered nations, whether willingly or un"ii
Iinely. receive greater or less impress HUI
the conouerer, and we presume that no Peo
ple ON the face of the earth have been mor'
srecentible to that influence than the South
ern people.
Before the war, the policy Of the state was
to contribute about sl250OO to the South oar'
olina College, and the same amount 10 'ne
education Of poor children in the SCHOOLS
Under that system and policy South Carolina
reached the smallest per cent. Of illiteracy o'
any State in the Uuion. Under the example
act us by the Yankee Government whlch
was inaugurated in 1876, and with the preseh'
enormous expenditure Of public money 1oi
educational purposes the illiteracy atnone
the whites increases at fearful rate.
It will scarcely be denied by any one 1amll'
lar with the facts that the present system nas
greatly demoralized the whites, while the
same plan seems to have stimulated the COL
ored citizen to a remarkable energy and
effort In the education of his children.
Let the Blair Bill becomes a law, and IN
few years very few white people would give
anything at all, for the education OF theh
children. Then they would not only Wan'
fne tuition, but we would expect to see en-
thusiastic advocates Of free schools furnisL
ing the needed books, and advocating the es
tablishment Of fine beef market at every
school house.

The Colored Registration.

The colored registration vote OF Summer
VILE has been exceedingly large. and. from
all appearances. the colored people mean
business in some way, shape or form. Here
tofore money has been used pretty freely III
our town elections, and this class of people,
who will sell their souls for tho Mighty Dol
lar,-with but few exceptions--has been en-
ticed by their friends to come In from the. the
surrounding country and register, that they
may rake in some OF the stray dimes that are
floating about promiscuously. We are salts
fled that out of the 24i colored people who
have registered only about lG0 are legally en-
titled to vote, and If the Managers Of EIec.
tion will do their duty to man, they Will
thwart some of them in their dishonest in
tentions. This thing has gone about lar
enough, and the law should be enforced TO
Its fullest extent and an example be made OF
some Of these rascals on election day.-.Sum-
ngeruille Nel0S.
We don't understand the above paragraph.
II we are not mistaken. only those citizens
who have reached the age of twenty-one
years since the last registration can now re-
gister. Those who neglected or refused to
register in former years have no right to re-
gister now.

Railroad Prospects.

While we vouch for nothing, we are inolip
cd TO think the indications point to the early
building of the Georgia Carolina and Moth
ern railroad.
l. The big mortgage of the road has been
recorded in every county along the line.
2. Treasurer A. L. Hull is now In Baltl'
more, signing the bonds, the payment OF
which the mortgage is intended to secure.
8. The recent passing over the line OF the
survey by CAPTAIN Dwight turning over his
notes to the new enginees. Hankins.
4. The fact that eighty mules and carts and
many hands are now at Chester, waiting 10
begin work.
S. The fact that railroad contractors at 9TH
.er places have made their arrangements to 90
TO work on this road at an early day.
8. The meeting in Chester this week Will
probably take such steps as will put tile con-
tractors to work at once.
Z. It is believed that work will be pushed
most possible speed.
We hear 1t stated that Greenwood Is to get
the workshops, but we think this is not set
tied.
Even though the graders should 60 to work
at various points along the line, and work
with the least possible. delay, the road can
not be finished to Abbeville in less time
than eighteen months or two years.
The average rate of track-laying in South
Carolina, after the :roadsbeds have beed grad
ed, has been about one mile week. The dis
tance from Chester 10 Abbeville Is about
eighty miles-count eighty weeks from the
time that track.laying commences, and you
will likely ascertain the earliest date at which
the road can reach Abbeville.
But let 1t be early or late, we are inclined
to think that the building of the road has
now been determined upon, and that 1t Is
fixed fact.

PRINTERS INK.
A Journal for Advertisers.

Printers Ink is just what it pur-
ports to be, "a journal for adver-
tisers." 1t is issued on the first and
fifteenth days Of each month, and
is the representative journal-the
trade journal, so to speak-of
american advertisers. 1t tells the
intending and inexperienced adj
vertiser in plain, comprehensive
articles how, when and where to
advertise: how to write an adver-
tisement; how to display one; what
newspapers or other media to use !;
how much to eXpend and discourses
on every point that admits ofproti-
table discussion. If you advertise
at aIL, PRINTERS INK can help
you. Perhaps you expend but Ten
Dollars year in advertising; if so
Printers Ink may show you how
to obtain double the service you
are now getting for one half the
money. Il Years subscription costs
bit one dollar; a sample copy costs
but five cents. Advertising is an
art practised by many but uner-
stood by few. The conductors of
Printers Ink understand it
thoroughly. Surely their advice,
based on an experience of more
than twenty-five years, will help
you. Address: Geo. p. Rowell &

United States Senator.

Some time since some of our
Democratic contemporaries were
urging the claims of sundry states
men for the position of United
States Senator, we then. suggested
that it would be well to wait and
bend all our emergencies to the
work of electing a Legislature that
would make the selection of Il
Democrat certainty, and so we
were careful to express no opinion
on the subject.
Now that the election is over and
the Legislature is Democratic, we
have few ideas we desire to make
known.
We believe that the new Senator
should be fully in accord with the
advanced position of the Ohio
Democracy on all questions of pub
lie policy and at the same time a
living representative of the various
industrial interests of the State.
Such qualifications are in our
opinion, possessed in an eminent
degree by Hon. John II. Thomas
of Springfield.
Mr.. Thomas is gentleman of
thorough education, of broad and
liberal ideas, an original tariff re-
former, fully convinced that the
Democratic position is right, and
will work to the best interests of
the eolle. His manufacturing
interests are as large and valuable
as those of any citizen of the State,
while his farm possessions are of
colossal proportions.
Mr.. Thomas is native born
Buckeye and his honesty no man
dare impugn.
Ohio will make no mistake in
this able Manufacturer,
Democrat and Statesman
to represent them in the highest
position in the land.
