WHITE AND NEGRO TEACHERS.
Chambers Tries to Investigate, But Gets No
Satisfaction.

Editor Yorkville Enquirer:
| Desiring to be right in all things, and
after hearing the reporter affirm that he
knew nothing Of the alleged movement
to put white teachers into Negro pub
lie schools, we quickly decided that the
next best step would be to seek infor-
nation from a direct source. So, the
following telegram was sent to the
state superintendent to ascertain from
him his true attitude relative to the
subject in question, or to learn as to
whether or not such an idea had re-
motely entered his mind:
YoRKvILLE, s. c., Oct. rs, 1900.
| Hon. J. ]. McMahan, Columbia, S. c.:
Is 1t a fact that you contemplate sup
plying Negro public schools with white
teachers? s. A. CHAMBERS.
To which we promptly received the
following reply:
| COLUMBIA, Oct. rs, 1900.
s. A. Chambers, Yorkville, s. c.:
Never. But trustees alone employ
teachers. I should only advise.
JOHN J. McMAHAN,
Superintendent Of Education.
This reply does not give entire satis-
faction and, therefore, does not entire
ly clear away the mist. 1t is quite
problematical as to whether or not the
Never" is intended to convey the fact
that no such idea had entered his mind
or as to whether that 1t Is not his bus
mess as superintendent Of education of
the state to Supply" but to "advise. "
Np fha tnfn h11f
days doings, as told in press dispatch
the clause, II should only advise" E"
leaves us still in suspense as to what
that advice will be. Certainly not lad
wise" the employment of Negro teach
ers for Negro schools for this the trus-
tees have always done without lad
vice" from the state superintendent
and will continue to do unless Otherwise
ordered from headquarters. If we had
asked "Do you contemplate advising?'
instead Of contemplate supplying, 1t Is
quite obvious that the answer would
have been different; because 1t Is not
his business to supply" but to lad
wise" And again. 1t is little strange
that The State, whose plant Is at the
superintendent home, would publish
the resolutions without comment, If it
had no knowledge of the existence Of
such an idea as mentioned in them.
The State, like THE YoRKvILLE ENoUI-
RER, is a reputable newspaper, and Is
not likely to hurl forth to the public
anything for which there is no founda-
ton.
It may be "godsend If the Negroes
could secure for teachers graduates
from Clemson and Winthrop" but his
tory records no instance where the
savior of a race was ever of an alien
race"
Graduating from such renowned COL
leges as the above, one could hardly be
otherwise than a good teacher; but for
"a that" the Negro prefers to teach his
own schools. s. A. CHAMBERS.

Mr.. E. Lehman Johnson. Of Clemson
College, S. c., has an article in late
number Of The Forum, says the Char
lotte Observer, in which he further ex-
hibits the value Of cotton seed and its
especial value in connection with the
cattle business. His idea is that all the
seed should be put through a cotton
seed oil mill, that the oil should be used
for culinary purposes after proper re-
fining, and the hulls and meal should
be used for cattle feed and the cattle
manure returned to the farm. He ex-
hibits tables in which the intrinsic VAL
ue of the cotton seed is compared to
that Of wheat and corn, and undertakes
to show that the time will probably
come when the cotton seed will yield
as much to the farmer per acre Of the
ground planted as corn or wheat. This
is exclusive Of the lint entirely. Even
the oil may be mixed with beef suet to
make a very excellent quality Of cook
ing material to take the place Of lard,
and this possibility again emphasizes
the Importance of cattle raising In the
cotton growing area. 1t would seem
that the growing Of cattle and the
growing Of cotton are Of Importance
each to the other, and also that the
cotton seed, or rather the products Of
the cotton seed, contribute to very
large degree to the economical raising
Of cattle and, therefore, to the profit of
the business. The reverse of this prop
osition is also true, that is, that the
raising Of cattle on cotton farm con-
tributes to the economical production
Of cotton and to the betterment Of its
quality. Those farmers who first come
to a full understanding Of these two
values and Of the best way in which
to make each contribute to the other.
will find a very considerable profit by
taking advantage Of the improved
methods suggested by Mr.. Johnson in
his article in The Forum and in vari-
Gus little pamphlets that he has issued
heretofore.

GREENv1LLE, October 29.-It Is said
that the work Of laying the track, or
rather Of preparing the roadbed, Of the
electric railway through the streets Of
Greenville, will be commenced today
or tomorrow.
I had talk few days ago with a
Unknown railroad man, who, have
reason to believe, knows what he Is
talking about, In regard to the pros
poets Of an early change in the gauge
Of the C. & N. W. railway. He express
ed the opinion that there is little or no
probability Of a change during the
near future. He said that he did not
believe the company that now had con-
troll Of the road had any idea of trying
to make the change; but had bought
the road as a speculation with the hope
of selling 1t to some other company.
He said the fact that they are buying
ties and not making any Improvement
in the rolling stock, Is no indication
that they propose to make the change,
because at the price they are paying
for ties, there will be no trouble to dis
pose Of them to some other road, and
it is possible that they are using the
wornout engines because they are not
in position to get new ones; and besides
if they should get new ones, they would
give away their scheme because the
public would then know that they had
all along been playing game Of bluff
1t is to be hoped that the gentleman Is
mistaken; but there is no gainsaying
the fact that he has given very plausi-
BILE reasons for the belief that he en-
tertains.
Since the recent heavy decline in the
price of cotton, not more than Is to 20
bales of cotton are being sold daily on
this market. Similar reports come from
the surrounding markets. So far no
frost has been reported in this Sec
ton.
I did not attend the carnival at Spar
tanburg last week; but there was quite
good many from here who did.
talked with several and they all report
that from the standpoint Of the pro-
moters of the scheme it was a huge
success. A great crowd was present,
and the hotels, street cars, blind tigers,
gamblers, fake shows pickpockets, ETC.,
did a thriving business. Everything
was wide open so far as gambling was
concerned, and numerous lambs and
some goats were fleeced. 1 heard Of
several Greenville sports who went
over and feathered their nests, and also
of several who feathered the other fel-
lows. Nobody expected the affair to
develop into a Sunday-school celebra-
ton; but on the other hand, it was not
thought that such free rein would be
given by the city authorities to the
class that is reported to have been In
the saddle there last week. The gam
bling dens are said to have operated
under license obtained from the city

IT Is still as difficult to understand
the movements Of ex-Judge T. ]. Mack.
ey as formerly. A week or two ago ne
succeeded in getting his wife out OF
the government insane asylum. With
in a few days he made application to
have the lady recommitted. A dis
patch of last Saturday says that he
has withdrawn the petition with the
announcement that he would never
bring the case into court again.

In the belief that THE ENQUIRER has

THE question as to how ex-President
Cleveland will vote in next Tuesday S

Gently the papers printed a report to
the effect that Mr.. Cleveland had de-

occurrence. But it has never peen
made public. So far as our independ.

correct-Colonel Tillman did not afrord

and for that, the state of South Caro-
