GeA. To our mini the present campaign is
campaign Of abuse, instead of a campaign {,
education and, from what we hear, the abuse
is not confined to aspirants to State offices
aSaints the Slate officials; but some of our
county candidates, recognizing the force Of
such argument(?) in the State campaign, have
adopted the came tactics, and turned their
batteries on the business men and ci,izens
generally of this town.
Well, that is not only unkind, but exhibits
an ungrateful spirit unbecomiDg good
citizen who, himself or neighbors, may have
received many favors from our merchants
old and young-which, perhaps, now
sand upon their ledgers, unrequited.
While we do not apologize for or defend
the faults of the merchants in years past, we
can safely say that had it not been for them,
not one farm in fifty in this county could
have been run for many years after tho
close of the war. They stood between the
Farmers and the Western Merchants, and be-
came responsible for the food and raiment
the mules, implements and money, necessary
to run the farms. In many cases we know
merchants went down under the heavy
strain Of carrying farmers on their books for
the necessaIies Of life; and while we
know that many cases Of oppression did
occur, it is unjust and unmanly now to at
tempt to ride into Office by arraying class
against oisss and ins.iga.ing bitter foslirgs
between friends and neighbors, who are not
in the least responsible for the wrongs COM
mitted by others in years past.
When we are convinced that any one class
or any ono employment is not dependent,
directly ard indirectly, upon all others for
its happiness, support and prosperity, then
we may be made to believe that the Cotton
Farmers are not dependent upon the cotton
spinners; and the producers Of provisions
are not dependent upon all clssses thst dc
not produce provisions, aud piee persa. The
farmers without consumers Of their products
would be no better off than consumers with
out f'rmers.

CROSS KEYS.
FART FIRST.

The Alliance Editor visitel tho Cross
Keys neighborhood this week and found il
ono Of the best Agricultural sections in the
up-country. II is not often that we can find
level feds contsioiog hundred and moro
acres Of cotton in one unbroken body, but
such is to be seen in the beau,ifu, country
around Cross Keys. Then we found it On
intelligent and very hospitable comm unity.
We were informed that most of the people
were in easy circumstances that there was
plenty Of money in that Part Of the county.
and everybody were perfect gentlemen and
ladies; that even the very poores, had
principle enough to make their word their
bond. Well.l if that be correct the r,sy
light Of the millennium morning is surely
beginning to dawn on that community,
"when the lion and tho lamb shall lie down
together-without the lamb being inside the
lion,''

HeA- The Charleston World publishes what
It terms the approximate figures Of the nine
county towns and townships in this, the 2nd
Census district. There seems to be some in
consistency in the figures of Union and New
berry. The town Of Ncwberry, it states,
has 3,O34 inhabitants, and the town
ship 1881 While the town of Union has
only 500 inhabitants, but the township has
4,373, nearly as many as Newberry. 1t may
be correct, but il seems natural that
in the same area, with the population
of the principal town Of one nearly
double that of the other, there would be
wider difference in the aggregate popula-
tion. We think 600 represents the full
population of The incorporate town of Union,
which was extended one mile in all direc-
tons during the reign of Hiram F. Duncan,
to take in all the radical negro voters but
we cannot think the suburbs Of the town is
more thickly populated than the suburbs of
Ncwbcrry.

Educational Ideas.

It is in the nature of q surprise
to the American to be told that in
Denmark, Norway, Sweden and
even Finland there is less iIliteracy
than there is in the United States,
yet such is the fact. In the coun-
tries named and in Germany the
ratio OF illiteracY to population
above 10 years Of age is less than l
per cent. In Germany this result
might be expected, since for genera
tions Germany has had a compulsory
educational law.
But Germany, to which we are
indebted for so many new and
valuable ideas in education, has
lately gone a step ahead of all the
rest of the world in the matter Of
school house building and furnish
ing. The subject of manual train
ing in public schools here is being
more or less agitated, though few
definite steps have been as yet taken
toward this end. But work rooms
and shops are adjuncts of nearly all
the school buildings in Germany.
Besides that, connected with each
building is complete gymnasium.
There the children learn in minia-
ture the exercises that, as turner's,
they afterward carry to perfection.
These physical exercises are a ne
cessary part of their education, and
make them strong, elastic and erect
and timber Of carriage.
Even beyond this has tho German
school house of the new time gone.
1t has a library and bathroom,
the latter provided with hot and
cold showering apparatus. On
drowsy days, when the manifest
temptation is to go to sleep over
lessons, the pupil is gently invited
10 take a shower bath, with, it is
said, the best results to both his
health and intellectual vigor. FL
nally, there are prison cells for
refractory children. All these are
clustered together under the roof of
the school building.
