to seven in the Forty-third. The
Forty-fourth Congress was known
as the "black Congress. Bruce
represented Mississippi in the
Senate, and seven men of his race
served in the lower House. Of
these the most conspicuous was
Robert Smalls of South Carolina.
With the Forty-fourth Congress
the number of colored men in the
House and Senate began to de-
crease. In the next Congress only
four colored members were return
ed. Bruce was the only man of
his race in the Forty y-sixth Con-
gress. Smalls and Lynch repre-
sented their race in the Forty
seventh Congress. In the two
succeeding Congresses there was
only one colored man, o. Hare of
North Carolina, who was defeated
for the Fiftieth Congress, and
since then only five negroes have
served in Congress- -Langston of
Virginia, Miller of South Carolina,
Cheatham of North Carolina, Muir
ry of South.Carolina and White of
North Carolina.

intimately with the second; inter-
esting knowledge impaired inter.
estingly stimulates wonderfully to
a mastering of the implements.
The knowledge given by the dis
trict school is necessarily limited
in scope and extent; it should be
sufficient, however, for the duties
of citizenship and the demands of
ordinary business; but because of
its daily application to the affairs
of life it should be precise and
exact. To make and enter into a
contract, to ascertain gain or
loss of an enterprise, to form an
opinion Oh any of the great ques-
tions of the day, to discharge in
telligently the grave duties of
citizenship at the polls, requires
clear and precise knowledge of the
English language, of arithmetic,
of history and of such subjects as
are taught at the public schools.
Slovenly and inaccurate methods
must therefore be tolerated even
less there than elsewhere, since
the pupil is helpless through youth
and lack of judgment. He is so
far, then, held irresponsible; but
Lis responsibility begins with the
cultivation of his mental faculties
he himself must make the effort to
strengthen his memory, to develop
his powers of observation, to con-
concentrate and force his atten-
ton; no one can do it for him,
and in proportion as he does it
honestly and onscientIously he
will cultivate not only his mental
faculties, but acquire at the same
time knowledge. Wise, indeed,
are the providences of God For
if money, which can surround our
body with the comforts and con-
veniences of the whole world,
could also buy, through the labors
of others, knowledge and mental
power, abiding slavery of body
and soul would be the inevitable
lot of most of us.
have so far said nothing of the
cultivation within the district
school of the pupils moral nature;
altogether too little attention is
paid to 1t at present; for, aside
from cultivating habits of order,
obedience and Outwardly good
manners, no direct effort is made
to reach the heart it is truly to be
hoped that this most important
matter will receive speedy prac-
tical solution.
The high school and academy
continue on broader basis the
work of the district school, but
give increased attention to the
development of mental faculties,
and, for that reason, increased
opportunities for the discharge of
Students proper duties.

WHAT IS YOUR DUTY?
By PROF. PAUL SCHwEITZER

BY PROF. PAUL SCHwEITZER.
(Reprinted from the Argus. Vol. VIII,
No. ,, November 1890, published by the stu
dents of the Missouri State University
The complaint is ofte n heard in
these days, that graduates of col
lege and university cannot think E;
that they are inferior to practical
men in the various pursuits of
life; that, excepting as prepara-
tion for one or two professions,
college education involves waste
of time. These complaints are
heard on all sides not only here
but abroad are they founded in
fact or are they, like most of the
common sayings, made up of truth
and error, blended and made into
a single image Of contorted shape
and false colors? An examina-
tion of the matter may result in
clearing our vision and answering
our question.
A college course implies with
most persons about fourteen years
of school life; much is learned
during this time and after few
years forgotten; languages his
tory, natural sciences and mathe-
mates become obliterated from
the mind, and only those things
are really and usefully retained,
which are continued in use after
graduation; if the years spent
in school gave nothing else but
this slight increment of know.
ledge, woful waste of time might
indeed be laid at the door of our
present civilization; but the case
is different. Aside from the min
or civilizing tendencies of school
life, such as adjusting ones self
in the circle with others, forming
friendships, striving after ideals,
and the like, education as a pre-
paration for the duties and enjoy
ments of life has three main aims
The formation of character, the
development of mental power, the
acquisition of knowledge.
These are of Importance in the
order named; the last but the in
strument for the second, and both
for the full attainment of the first,
and all, which is the momentous
and gratifying fact, free to the
grasp of individual effort. Wealth,
family and influence, though a
protective setting around the life
Of many youth, count for moth
ing in the struggle for knowledge,
mental power and character. And
verify struggle it is; no room
there for makeshifts, Incidence or
prevarication; the law is ineXora-
BILE; sowing before reaping; lab
oring before enjoying. Go to,
then, aspiring youth Leave
faintheartedness behind; press
onward, and at the hand of duty,
imposed by self or filial affection,
reach out for the golden prize; it
is yours through honest toll.
THE ACQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE.
The business of the district
schools is threefold one: To fur
nish the implements of knowledge
as reading, writing, ciphering and
others, to impart knowledge itself,
and to cultivate and develop the
faculties of the mind. Little need
be said about the first, excepting
that the time spent on it should be
shortened by connecting it more

Sea Captains Strange story.

The Captain of the Norwegian
steamer Donald, which arrived at
Philadelphia, a few days ago, from
Banes, with a cargo of fruit, tells the
following remarkable story:
1--WE were two days out from
Banes and about 80 miles from Wat
Inns island in the Caribbean sea,
when we came upon a floating is
land. |, with the mate and several of
the crew, rowed toward it. Thou
sands Of little monkeys scampered
all about the shore and when we
were in range they began lombard
ment by shying cocoanuts at us.
We captured two monkeys.
"The following morning we dis
covered another floating island aud
landed. This time We were greeted
by covey of parrots of most bril-
liant plumage"
Captain Warnecke declared that
the eruption in Martinique had
shaken up the entire district, and
the small piece of land had become
separated from some uninhabited
island.

Chaplin Cotton Mill.
TChapin News, 29th.

About year ago the citizens OF
Chapin started movement to build
cotton mill and the prospects were
bright for while, but it seems
that the matter has been hanging
fire for some time. Upon inquiry
we find that some have lately become
imbued with spirit of enterprise
and express themselves as anxious to
see the movement revived.
There is no reason why we cannot
have cotton mill. We have pretty
little town of about 400 population,
situated in the garden spot of Lex
ington county. The town is unsur-
passed by any town of its size in the
State.
We already have few growing
industries in aud about Chaplin. We
have large planning mill, grist mill,
cotton ginnery and wagon and buggy
shops in town. A few miles in the
country is the Dutch Fork Tobacco
Co. This company raises its own to-
bscco and puts up three grades OF
smoking tobacco which for purity
and flavor, will compare with any to-
bacco manufactured in Virginia or
North CaroliLa. There is also near
here canning factory which is
successful enterprise. All the fruits
and vegetables canned are raised
in the immediate vicinity of the fac
tory. Within radious of only
few miles are a number of lumber
and shingle mills, which make Cha
pin the largest lumber and Single
market on the Q. N. & L. R. R.
Thus it will be seen that our smai-
industries have succeeded 80 we'll
that our people now want to launch
into larger enterprise. We have
every inducement to offer capital
lists. Land can be bought reasona-
BILE, building material can be furnish,
ed from our own forests and soils and
more than enough cotton is sold at
Chapin than would be required to
furnish the mill.
Our people are generous, hospital
and are the highest types of Chris
tian citizenship. The town and sur
rounding vicinity are abundsntly
supplied with churches and schools,
presided over by men who are devo-
ted to their work
We extend hearty welcome to
prospecting capitalists and Will take
pleasure in furnishing any informa-
ton that may rebound to the inter-
est and welfare of our town and
county. Our business men are
ready to do their part, but we need
| some outside help. We want a
cotton mill and are going to use
everv effort to build one whether
or not we fail in our attempt,

| do not mean to reflect on the
memory of New England's dead, but
to defend that of the beloved and
honored friend of my boyhood-
the very Alcebiades of his day and
the prototype of thousands like him
in the South, who sleep in blood
stained graves-martyrs to New
England fanaticism and misguided
philanthropy. Over the graves of
Preston S. Brooks and of Charles
Sumner the most appropriate inscrip-
tion to both would be O, tempora;

Huyine Votes in Augusta.

There was an election in Augusta
on Thursday of last week, and the
Augusta Tribune telle of some in
cidents in the following most uncon-
cerned manner:
"The buying of votes began at the
start. This was conducted openly,
each side having their headquarters
and pay stations near the polling
places. In the fourth ward the Old
Guard had possession of the yard OF
residence on one side of the polls
and the Reformers on the other,
where the cash was paid for the
votes delivered. The price at the
opening was very irregular, owing
to the haste of the early birds to
catch the worm, many doaters being
glad to sell for 81, though the heel
ers let no vote pass that could be
bought, and even in the first hour as
high as $40 was obtained for their
commodity by those who knew how
to drive a good bargain by letting
both sides bid.
"In the fifth ward at 1920 o'clock
% votes had been cast. lhe price
of votes at that hour averaged $3.50,
though $40 was paid where de-
manded."
