The FIGURES showing the extent OF
ilnteracy among the voters Of Virginia
are interesting at this time, in view OF
the proposition to introduce an educs-
tional requirement into the suffrage law
OF the State. 1. appears that the total
number of white males OF voting age Ia
SOL .379. OF these, little more than
twelve per cent. or SO ,493, are classed
as CELEBRATES. The colored voters num-
Der LAG, 122, of whom fifty-two per
cent, or 1854, are illiterate. A gene
raj disqualification on the ground OF
illiteracy would thus make white su-
premacy absolutely assured. Such q
provision would leave the white vote
264. SS6, and the colored vote 69,35S
One of the principle reasons given for
the constitutional convention was to
curtsil the right of suffrage among the
Ignorant aud vicious and a frir and
reasonable educational qualification
would seem to be the easiest solution o
she difficulty.

WHILE, according to government re-
ports, the condition of cotton IN South
Carolina is poorer than In any otner
cotton growing State, the farmers may
expect higher prices than anywhere
else in the country. A few years ago
prices there were from 80 to 40 points
lower than 10 New York. Last year
that condition was reversed, and De-
cause OF the increased local demand the
difference this fall will probably be as
much az a half cent in favor OF the
