tor educati0M An analysis has late
ly been plhlfahed of South Carolina's
educat1onal outlay. The statement
shows that for the year ending June
80, 1905. there we're enrolled 147.-
O53 white pupils in 2674 schools,
with 1888 teachers The average
number ofsnNDils ner =" school was
thirty, and Per teacher forty, while
the average session was 24.35 weeks,
The salaries lof the white teachers
averaged $36S. The whole cost of
educating the white children of
South Carolina in that school year
was $1,5S8.6S513 Now consider
the other side. carefully. The enroll
ed Negro children numbered 171,O22
or $4,000 more than the whites. but
the total appropriation for them
was $259,9S3.86, or only one-sixth
of the sum appropriated for the
white, and the gross injustice of
this division Is heightened by the
fact that the Negroes paid in
school taxes $27S,477.16, SO that
SIS, 544.3O of the Negroes
money wentEto the education OF
white children The white people
of South Carolina not only did not
contribute agent to the education
of Negro children, but they took
from the Negroes in school taxes
more than $4,000 for the educa-
ton Of their own children. Not only
this, but while the school year for
white children was 24.35 weeks, that
for Negro children was only 149
weeks, and while the average salary
for teachers in the white schools was
$3.50, the average salary for teach
ers in the, Negro schools was only
sos. :.2
Comment on the state of things
disclosed by the school statistics Of
South Carolina for the school year
1906 is unnecessary, but one fact is
worthy OF special notice. If the
school money were divided between
the races ON the basis Of the taxes
paid, the Negroes and not the whites,

uncertain terms, and the result may
be an announcement from Mr.. North

1t is we'll known that Mr.. Northcott

months ago to allow his name to be
considered among the possible candi-
dates, was counted by the leaders

the crucial period Of 1904 was flaw

rare tact and ability. None Of the
bitter animosites which were then

the strongest advocates of tax reform

Few, If any, personal antagonisms.

THE SOUTH AND THE NEGRO.

Manchester IN. H.) Union.
No intelligently patriotic citizen
desires a revival of sectional feeling
between the North and South. In so
far as the war with Spain helped to
unite the sections. it was a blessing
to this country, whatever view may
be taken Of it otherwise. If the
jamestown Exposition furthers the
growth of a better understanding
and yet more friendly relations, it
! will be worth all it will cost of eff
fort and of money.
Nevertheless, the reply by Senator
Foraker to Senator Tillman's asser-
tions relative to the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments comes in
good time. Many Northern people,
after visiting the exposition and get
ting at least a passing glimpse of
the Negro, are returning home inn
pressed more deeply than before with
the magnitude Of the problem with
which the South has to deal. This
is we'll enough, for the magnitude
Of the problem cannot easily be exag-
gerated, but there was az growing
danger untiI.Senator Foraker spoke,
that the plain, cold facts OF history
would be forgotten, and that the
false assertions by men like Tillman
and Vardaman would find some ac-
ceptance both North and South The
simple facts, when recalled, are
sufficient reply to Tillman's assertion
that the North fastened the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments up
on the country through passion and
sectional hatred.
Calm, broadminded men in the
North realized that something must
be done to protect the Negro from
the operation Of state laws which
would In practice reduce him to
state Of servitude worse than that
from which he had been freed. Nc
Pherson's political manuals for the
years succeeding the civil war afford
the fRcontestible evidence of this. In
Mississippi, on November 20, 1865,
a law was passed which read as fol-
| lows:
That any freedman or free Me-
gro or mulatto committing riots,
