Education at the South.

A contemporary, in discussing the
progress of education in the South,
gives some exceedingly interesting
and significant statistics bearing
upon the matter-statistics, indeed.
that are calculated to surprise even
our own people, and which certainly
are a nut to crack for our northern
friends, who delight to pirate about
southern ignorance. After stating
that while in the last twenty years
the South has increased 81 per cent.
in population, she has increased 100
per cent. in her school enrolment.
our authority says that one in five of
the population attends school, a
higher proportion than in any coun-
try of Europe, except Saxony; that
the value of school property in
creased in the South between 1874
and 1894 from 81 900, 900 to $51, 900, 900,
and that the average value of q
schoolhouse had risen in that time
from 1878 to $643. While, it adds, in
1874, the southern college students in
sc uthern colleges numbered II, 103, in
1894 the number was 25,304. In the
eighteen years preceding 1894 there
was spent from public taxes on the
schools 1920, 100000, of which $780,
600, 900 went to the education of the
negroes. Ninety five per cent. of the
whole sum is paid by the white tax
payers. In every hundred whites
twenty-three are enrolled in the
schools. and nineteen of every hun
dred colored. In 1874 there were en-
rolled ST., 500 colored and 1927, 139
white children; in 1894 the figures
were l, 424,s95 colored and 1885, SOB
white.
And yet, we hear continually from
northern negrophile sources walls
over the down-trodden condition OF
the negroes of the South. The world
does not show a parallel to what the
southern whites have done for the
negro race since the war. Nor is that
all. The southern negro would be
still better off had he been delivered
from the tender mercies Of his false
pothern friends.-Richmond Dis
patch.

The democrats who strayed away
from the democratic fold in the late
election with the expectation of
getting something under the republi-
can administration, it seems, will be
disappointed. Already notice has
been served upon them that no Sin

thing by leading republicans of the
District of Columbia in the case of

Grams in the republican service, seems
to be the slogan Of the old members

that purpose will perhaps heed
the warning. The republicans want
the offices and will have them and
it is folly to believe otherwise.

A Monster Revival.

New York, November 19.-More
than hundred ministers in Greater
New York, who have been interested
in the Moody and Sanky meetings,
decided day to use their efforts to
bring about the greatest evangelical
awakening this city has ever known:
A call will be issued at once to all
the ministers in the city to open the
doors of their churches every night
for revival services. 1t is expected
that there will be more than 500
meetings night, and that the result
will be the most extraordinary OF
modern times 1t is hoped to arouse
not only the great metropolis. but to
have the movement radiate i'll every
direction.
1t is hoped that it will join with
that now in progress in Philadelphia
and sweep over the whole country.
Every denomination and nearly
every prominent pastor in Brooklyn
and New York are interested in this
movement. Mr. Moody has said that
the time is ripe for it. Rev. DR.. Will
bur J. Chapman, who preached in
Mr.. Moody's place to day, and who
is among the first two or three evan
gelists in this country, has said so.
This feeling is born of the Moody
meetings in this city. Mr.. Moody has
said that they have been among the
most remarkable in his experience.

DR.. Curry on the Flag.

Raleigh, n. c., November COR.
J. L. NJ. Curry, ex-Minister to Spain,
and trustee of the Peabody and
Slater funds, made an address yes
terday before the colored students Of
Shaw University here. in which he
used this rather startling language
II don't believe much in the idea
of having the United States flag
over our schools I'd like to know
what the United States Government
has done for our public schools in
North Carolina to demand that the
flag should hang over them. 1t never
gave cent to North Carolina schools,
except to the Agricultural and Me-
chanical colleges. 1t is deception
and a fraud to put the flag there. 1t
is the State that gives you educa-
ton"
Speaking of the negro, he said: II
never could understand why the
negro population remains SO compact
in the South, instead of becoming
scattered all over the Union. The
northern men freed the negro. Why
is it the negro does not go North to
be with his friends, instead of stay
ing in the South among his enemies?''
AS to suffrage, DR.. Curry said: II
don't believe a man who cannot read
his ballot ought to be allowed to put
it into the box" (Applause among
the negro students.)

The defeated candidates for Con-
gress from Virginia, who had threat
enad to make contests, are not likely
to be as numerous as at one time

with Speaker Read at their head, it
is stated, are opposed to them. be.
cause of their fear of unpleasant de-
velopments. The cry of fraud upon
which defeated republican candi-
dates in Virginia have heretofore
relied to secure seats in Congress,
won't work it seems this time, as they
naturally had the right to expect
that being the only argument neces-
sary to be used before partisan re-
publican House in the past. The Pc
culiar tactics and methods of the
boltocrats and their republican allies,
in the late election, in purchasing
election judges, employing Pinkerton
detectives and tallykeepers, coercing
employees, destroying the secrecy of
the ballot, and the various other
ways in which Mark Hanna's friends
were used to corrupt officials and vo-
tiers won't bear the light, and that
discretion which sometimes is the
better part of valor causes them to
desist. Stop the contests in Virginia
seems to have been the order from
republican headquarters in Wash
ington, and for the most part it is
likely to be obeyed by most of the
defeated candidates, and but few
contests may now be expected.

Lee and the Ca binet.

Fredericksburg, Va, November
O.-Concerning the suggestion that
has been going the rounds of the
press that Consul. General Fitzhugh
Lee be offered a place in Major Nc
Kinley's Cabinet, General Lee is
quoted as saying he had no idea that
Mr.. Mckinley would put any demo
GRAFT in his Cabinet; that in his family
councils democrat would be out of
place, and that Major Mckinley
would draw the line here in the
selection of his Cabinet, as he had
the right to do and ought to do.
General Lee added that he has not
renounced his allegiance to the
democratic party, and is a democrat
and proposes to remain a democrat
everywhere and at all times.

Mckinley Will Probably Get One Vote
From Virginia.

Richmond, Va. November 24.-The
democrats will probably lose one
elector in Virginia. Some of the
returns sent in for Charles NJ. Wal
lace, Jr., the candidate from the
Richmond district, left off the word
"Jr.," and others simply gave his
name as &C. NJ. Wallace"
James W. Marshall, another demo
cratic candidate, came very near
being defeated by the same techni-
cality. Yesterday the board made
the ruling in the case of Flood and
Yost, candidates for Congress in the
Tenth district, and by not counting
for the republican nominee democrat
was elected. The board has not
issued certificates to the electors.
There is yet point to be decided.
Five republicans got more votes re
turned than Charles NJ. Wallace, Jr.,
and all got the same number. 1t is
to be settled to whom the certificate
shall GO Should the Court OF APP
peals order votes returned for Jacob
Yost to be counted for the republican
nominee, the same rule presumably
will apply to the electors.

The surest road to independence
for the South is to produce more at
home of what it needs and buy less
from the outside. This applies es-
pecially to the agricultural and man.
ufacturing interests, and the sugges-
ton is worthy of study. The custom
has been for years to buy everything
from the outside. and there has been
no restriction. Everything we eat,
drink and wear, or use, with some
exceptions, is purchased either in the
North, East or West, when the same
might be produced at home at less
cost in the end.
We have the raw material at our
doors and yet, instead of utilizing it.,
we send it away to be manufactured
and pay two prices for it, when it is
returned. There are very many
things that the farmer buys abroad
that might as we'll be made at home
at a great saving, and the same may
be said Of manufactured goods. In
lumber, leather, and mineral wealth,
the South is unsurpassed, yet very
little of it is manufactured at home.
Why is this?
The above extract from an editorial
in the Norfolk Virginian, merits the
consideration especially of the people
of the Eastern Shore. Itcan be truly
said of us that everything we eat,
drink or wear with some exceptions,
is bought elsewhere, and many
things which we attempt to supply
ourselves with are not made in suffi-
cient quantities to meet our needs.
We manufacture nothing and send
away the surplus that we get for our
staple crops, to buy our hay, corn,
pork and many other things which,
not only could be produced here, but
at less cost and of better quality than
it can be by those from whom we
purchase it. Why is this, we can
ask with the Virginian? Times are
hard, with us, but do we not
help to make them so by re-
lying only on one or two crops
and taking all Of that to buy neces,
saries which We could supply our
selves with at home? 1t certainly
look to us, that a step would be
taken in the right direction to raise
fewer potatoes, that won't sell and
more of something else that we are
compelled to have and must buy.
