The Newspapers OF the United States

Nine years ago the tenth census In
cluded an enumeration of the news
papers published in all the states and
territories in 1880. The total number
of periodicals then registered was H.
314, of which 971 were published daily.
The enumeration of Rowelfs Newspa-
per Directory was less complete than
that of Mr.. North for the census.
RoWell, in his edition of 1880, gave
9, 723 periodicals. and 843 dailies. That
is to say. the figures Of the census were
more than 16 per cent. over Rowelrs
figures for the total of publications. and
more than Is per cent. over Kowell for

ment. There is radical defect in
the public school system, especially in
the North, where teaching is an ice
clad and ironclad business-all mind
and no hear. They have only 4 per
cent. of illiteracy, while the South
averages 24, but their convictions for
crime outnumber ours FIVE to one, ac-
cording to white population.
We are proud of our public school
in Gainesville, because our teachers
never lose an opportunity to impress
good morals and good principles upon
the pupils.-When my daughter tells
me that Ella or Lou OF Mary is good
scholar, always ask is she a good
girl, is she kind, does she knew the
golden rule, or is she vain and con.
ceited? Some of tie smartest
scholars I know are the meanest.-I
don't care how smart a boy is in fig
ures, if he will cheat another boy in a
trade or impose upon those who are
smaller than he is. [ still love the
boys who were good to ne. Most Of
them are dead, but I love to recall
their kindness in my memory. Kind
ness makes deeper impression than
scholarship. fear that this feature
in our schools has too low a place. It
should have the highest. Scholarship
does not make good citizens, but
morality and principles do.-Is he
honest? Is he truthful? Is he strictly
temperate? Is he willing to work are
the questions thai are asked when a
young man seeks employment. Will
the teacher teach these things should

EDITOR MANNING TIMEs:-lt was on
ly necessary to be present at the meet
ing of Wilson's literary club last Fri
day night, to see that she has not only
come to life again, but has come to
the front determined to surpass any
thing she has hitherto put on record.
The Jolly laugh of the lad, with the
bonnie smile of the lass, and the
beaming countenance Of the older
folk were quite sufficient to pronounce
the verdict, 'well done" Speaking Of
the older folk. we are always pleased
to see them out. The programs are
intended and calculated to interest
and enliven anybody, from the gray
headed man to the curly headed
youth.
We haven't an exact copy of the
program, but as well as we can re-
member it was about as follows:
An awful mystery, by Misses Nellie
and Lizzie Nelson, and Messrs. Irwin
Plowden and E. G. Coskrey.
Julia's peaches, by ,Iessrs. ". L,
Burgess and Ed. Wilson.
Curfew must not ring tonight, by

and Jennie Strange, and Messrs. E. G.

Last but not least came comic
song of forty-two verses, Hes a jim

to say in explanation of this last piece
that when Mr.. Schifiey had sang three
verses the applause became SO great
that he could proceed no further, but

History is full Of such Changes.

Time works wonders, and politics
makes some strange revolutions.
It was only fourteen years ago that
we emerged from the tremendous
campaign of '76 happy and hopeful.
"a. c. Haskell, chairman had been
virtually the dictator of the state for
months. His word was law. At his
order arme;: men trooped out in every
part of the state, ready to go any,
where and do any dangerous or des-
perate service. At his call the rich
and poor swarmed to the tax Offices
and paid money like water to carry
on the Hampton government. At his
suggestion the churches few open for
fasting humiliation and prayer or for
thanksgiving services. Every Demo
crat recognized him as leader and
king, and every Radical hated him
with bitter hatred as the incarnation
OF the shotgun democracy.
Wade Hampton was the idol of his
people. His word was law, his pres
ence the signal fora ovation, and the
entire white population was eager to
crowd upon him marks of honor, af-
fection, and devotion.
D. e. Chamberlain was a fugitive,
after having long been hemmed in by
protecting federal bayonets, followed
by the bitterest curses, the deepest
hatred that any man was ever the OBJ
ject OF. He was not safe from insult
or assault any moment Of his stay in
the state.
Now Radical state convention vir-
tually offers A. C. Haskell its nomina-
ton and support for governor against
a Democratic nominee, and he de-
clines to tell the reporters how he
feels or thinks about it. Wade Hamp-
ton has been publicly jeered and in
suited while attempting to address an
audience of South Carolina white
men. Daniel H. Chamberlain is a
rich and comfortable citizen of the
state and receiver of one of it's lead
ing railway lines, and goes and comes
in ease, safety and comfort, recog-
nized as very nearly Democrat.
. Suppose any man had fourteen
years ago predicted this situation
Would not the prediction have been
taken as good reason for declaring
him a lunatic? Verify in politics
nothing is sure, and present appear
ances give no basis for forecasting
even little Of the future.-GreenvWe
