TO EDUCATE NEGROES.
Tho Singular History OF an Ex.sIavc-
Holders BeQuese


Holders Boquess.
Tho State School Commissioner and
the eAttorney-Gcneral,w writes On Atlanta
(Ga.) correspondent, were in consulta-
tion tho other day in regard to securing
for the purpose of negro education in
this State sum Of money that has lain
in tho Bank OF England many years. It
is legacy the history Of which is very
singular.
Archibald Mclean, Scotchman, was
q prosperous planter in Chatham carly
in tho present century. His estate was
known as Gowrie, and on it no had
large number of slaves. His family in
Scotland was strongly opposed to
slavery. Aftor his death and the doath
of his son and heir q certain interest in
the estate went to his brother, John Nc
Lean. John Mclean died at Glasgow
July 0, 1886. leaving will that directed
tho application of half his interest in
his deceased brothor's Georgia estate to
tho education of tho negro slaves there
or their offspring as soon as the laws of
Georgia should permit the education of
tho slaves. Four prominent Savannah
merchants wcre named as trus-
tees under the will, but declined
tho trust on the ground that
tho laws of Georgia prohibited
the education of slaves, and tho bequest
was therefore void. The sum involved
was little over S55 pounds. Tho heirs.
in view of the legal condition of tho
legacy in Georgia, attempted to secure
tho money, but the courts decided
against them. Accordingly the money
has been in charge Of the Bank of Eng
land, and William Lloyd Garrison was
notified of the facts to tho end that when
circumstances might arise under which
the money could be applied according to
tho terms of tho will steps could be
taken for securing possession Of it.
After the emancipation of all slaves in
this country son of Mr.. Garrison, who
had found among his fathers papers a
memorandum on the matter, called the
attention of the Georgia authorities to
the legacy. While the Bank of Eng
land is anxious to pay over the money
to whoever may bo legally entitled to re-
ccive it, q lctter to that effect having
just been received by tho School Com
missioner Of Georgia, the difficulty is
that the negroes OF tho Gowrie planta-
ton have been scattered byn:the war,
and there is no way of finding their
hoirs. Now the question is whether the
bequest, which has been bearing inter
est since 1886, can bo secured and de-
voted to the genoral education of the
| negroes.

WHAT ONE ISSUE DID.

Every reader of THE SENTINEL
knows that it has done and is doing
great coed for Winston Salem.
As an illustration of this perhaps it
would not be immodest in us to tell of
the great publicity gwen to our city
and its new enterprises by one issue
(Which We take as an example). On
February 18th TIE SENTINEL pub
lished full account of our electric
street railway and the grand hotel
which is to be built here at an early
day. These articles were republished
in the Neacs and Observer entire; the
Chronicle made some comments very
complimentary to our town the Bal
timore Manufacturers Record gave the
facts extensive circulation, reaching
thousands of Northern capitalists, and
nearly every paper in North Carolina
printed them in its news columns. In
this way, Winston-Salem's progress
was made known to over million
readers.
This is but one example, out of
many, of the way The SENTINEL has
helped to advertise this city. We do
not mention this in order to praise
ourselves but simply to show to the
people that every honest, progressive
paper in North Carolina that does its
duty is worth far more to the COM
munity in which it is published than
they are aware of.
Is it not a wise business policy to
give liberal patronage to the home
paper?

LATE WASHINGTON NEWS.

it'li Especial Correspondence of the Sentinel
WASHINGTON, March 25.-Ex-
Speaker Carlisle thinks the Lodge
Federal election bill one of the most
Objectionable measures ever before
Congress, and considers that it would
be practically impossible to hold a
legal election unde" its complicated
provisions. In speaking of the bill
Mr.. Carlisle said suppose we do a
little figuring on it to start. If this
bill was law there would be at each
Of the 10000 election precincts of the
country, at every Congressional and
Presidential election, 7 Federal off
cials, making total of 100000 men,
and costing ten or fifteen millions of
dollars every two years. This esti-
mate is based upon the present num-
Der of voting precincts but the COM
plications of the bill would make the
process of, voting such slow one that
the number of precincts would have
to be largely increased, perhaps
doubled, in order to give the voters an
opportunity to deposit their ballots"
The bill has not been much better re
cefved by the republicans than by the
democrats.
The announcements of the republicans
Of the House Ways and Means COM
mittee several days ago that the tariff
bill was complete has brought a great
deal of trouble upon them in the shape
! of objections from influential members
of their party to certain clauses of the
bill The result is that the bill has
not yet been reported to the House
i and it may not be this week, and it
would not be surprising If the pres
sure should prove great enough to
compel radical charges in the bill be-
fore: it is reported. 1t is probable
that the democrats will prepare SUBJ
stitute, based ON the Mills bill, but
giving all raw materials used in manu-
featuring place on the free list.

When Mr.. Carlisle's statement was
published recently that the appropria-
tions which the Republicans of this
Obngress intended making would
. cause a. deficiency in the treasury at
the end of the next fiscal year, Mr..
Cannon, Chairman Of the House Com.
mittee onappropriations, stated that it
was Misrepresentation made for po-
litical effect. Now, as good Repub-
lican as Senator Hawley states on the
floor OF. the Senate that the appropri-
ations to be made for the next fiscal
year will aggregate $523, 100000
against an estimated revenue of $3.50
000, 900, making deficit of $73,OOO,-
600. Certainly Mr.. Hawley was not
talkicg fcr, political effect
