line of the educational thought of the
day, or refuses to come in contact with it.
Patrons are looking more closely into the
antecedents and qualifications of teach
ers, aud are making inquiries as to what
they are doing to improve themselves,
and the day is not far distant when the
teacher who refuses to read educational
journals, or attend teachers meetings,
and who refuses to make any effort to
progress, who has concluded that he
knows all about it, and hence becomes
mere school Keeper, will be retired from
business, and ofright ought to be. What

Tillman and The Census.

TO the Editor Of the Nevs and Courier ::
Capt. Tillman has, on several occasions,
seen 6t to denounce those members of the
State Senate who voted against the cen.
sus and reappoftionment bills. We have
waited to see whether any one, other
than ourselves, would give the reasons for
such action. We are unwilling longer to
have such reasons unstated, especially in
view of the recent attack on that upright
soldier and gentleman, Judge Izlar, whose
position necessarily forces him to keep
ailenae.

That the County Is making steady,
upward progress in the matter of the
common schools is evidenced by the fact
that more schools have run for from six
to eight months, than ever before. Last
year there were tHenty-eight schools in
the County that did this, while this year
the number has run up to forty-one, and
the prospect is that the number will be
largely increased next year, as already
We have received communications from
schools wanting TO employ ten months
teacher, where they have never had one
before of that length of term. This is
gratifying showing, indeed, and is tangi-
BILE evidence of the educational spirit and
progress that is abroad in our land.
People are thinking and reading more
than ever before, and they are realizing,
as never before, that this is an age of
education and progress, and that TO meet
the requirements of the times they must
educate their children. They are realiz.
ing more and more fully that, as r:lle,
there is no place in the worlds industry
for the ignorant and the illiterate higher
than that of nero ''hewers of wood and
drawers of water" and every man with
the true instincts of q father in him
wishes his child to be something higher
and better than that. Then let US
encourage and build up our common
schools, and make them strong and Wig
:orous, power for good, a power felt in
every community, for the reason that
ninety per cent. of the boys and girls of
the land will never receive any training
other than what they receive there.

In providing for the government OF themselves,

purpose, are attended with the iewest drawbacks
and the greatest number OF subsidiary adyan-
tages The scheme following comes as near,
think, 10 fulfilling the requirement, as anything
that has yet been proposed for the purposes OF
which we are speaking. IL may be appropriately
designated as the graduated or cumulative sys-
TEN OF taxation. It will stop the formation OF
trusts and mOnopolIes, through tho property
which II possesses of being dlscourager to over
enlargement or excessive capitalization In every
form Of enterprise, not permitting II even In

mentS taxed and where number OF separate
establishments have been united under single
control, whether In the form OF a single owner
ship, a trust or monopoly they would be looked
upon as a single, or part OF a single, quantity for
taxable purposes.

should be given this tax 10 attain the best results
would have to be determined by observation up

awhile give the following to Illustrate both
the character Of the tax In question, and my
view OF what should be the rate Of progression

Upon all values exceeding $1,000 and not ex-

One-tenth added 10 the rate OF taxation for each
additional $1,000 OF value until the rate OF taxa

rate and the capital has equaled $4,000.
Upon values exceeding $4,000 and not exceed
