The Growing South.
Richmond New s-Leader.


An illustration of how the South is
growing rich is furnished by the three
counties OF Spartanburg, Greenville
and Anderson, South Carolina. 80
years ago these counties depended
for their cash supply on about hun
dred thousand bales of cotton raised
and marketed among them and rep
resenting at that time $4,000, 900 i'll
money. Farmers, merchants, law
yers, millers, all had to depend on
this cash. This year these counties
are raising and selling more cotton,
probably by thirty per cent, than
they did in 1S76-'77, and the prices
are about as good. But in addition,
their factories and banks paid out
more than a million and half dol
lars in actual cash dividends. The
three counties have fifty-eight cotton
mills, every one of them dividend
payer, and all but five of them built
in less than thirty years.

No Federal Aid.
Richmond News-Leader.

DR.. Craighead, of Tulane Universe
ty, Louisiana, DR.. Abercrombie, of the
University of Alabama, and several
other Southern college professors
having expressed the belief that the
South cannot educate her children
as she should without Federal aid,
the Mobile Register remarks that
even ii this is conceded, it does not
follow thhat Federal aid should be
| solicited. We agree most heartily
with the Register. However desirable
the expansion of oureducational sys-
tenn may be, aud whatever the evils
OF iliiteracy, slow progress in hasten
ing the one and overcoming theother
is infinitely to be preferred to Federal
assistance. Rather than that the
South could, in her own interest and
the interest of the nation, afford to
make any sacrifice in the way of SUBJ
mitting to local taxation for the ad-
vancement OF the cause Of education
Federal aid to the schools and col
leges OF the States would bepaternal-
ism run mad-the most insidious blow
that could be struck at our political
institutions. There is nothing the
States should guard more jealously
than their right to dictate the con-
troll Of their own educational affairs
This has been strikingly illustrated
i'm the recent San Francisco school
complication. To surrender the right
in question, to compromise it in any
way, would be a long step towards
Capitalization and the bringing about
of conditions that would open the
doors for just such Federal interfer-
ence as the President proposed in
California. 1t would put the States
on the defensive as to a most vital
issue of State sovereignty.

when the Kaiser Was Young.

Emperor William H., when a young
and lively roisterer, was fond of join
ing in the New Years sport Of knock
ing hats and desisted from II only
after receiving severe injury to his
right hand There was an old gentle
man of the court who regularly every
year lost one or more silk hats by
walking abroad on New Years day
with the tabOoed headgear. Finally re-
solving to get even with his perse-
cutors, he had leather skullCap made,
studded with horseshoe nails that had
been carefully sharpened for the ocCa-
sion, and after adjusting his porcupine
headpiece he sailed forth into the
street full of confidence that the first
person that spoiled his hat would get
the worst of the encounter. Along
came the future emperor, with two or
three boon companions, and in a jiffy
the princcIy fist descended on the of
Tending tile. The consequences were
dire, for two or three OF the nails went
quite through the princes hand, which
was so badly torn that for awhile
there was fear he would lose it.-Phil-
adelphia Press.

"HOnest Graft" In Henry's Day

The practice of sending presents on
New Years day has often been turned
to advantage by people who were in n
position to make it unpleasant for
others. In the olden days it was Gus
tomary for every tenant to make his
landlord a New Years gift and for
every loyal subject Of a baron, knight
or king to testify his loyalty by send
ing his master gift. This custom was
regarded with such favor by the money
loving Tudor soveregns that they let
their wish be distinctly understood that
the presents should take the form Of
cash, and there is a curious manuscript
memorandum by the Marquis Of Bath,
who held an official position In the
court Of Henry VIII. 1t contains list
of all those who made presents to the
king on New Years day Of that year,
together with the amount con-.buted
by each, the sum total considerably
exceeding $1,000.

COFFIN ON THEIR TABLE.
Grewsome New Years Dinner of
JoVinI Undertakes.

Jovinl Undertakes.
Three or four years ago there was an
undertakers New Years dinner in a
certain north of England town The
guests all drove to the rendezvous in
mourning coaches and attired in full
regulation somber clothes.
On entering the dining room they
found it draped in black and decorated
profusely with artificial and other
wreaths. Even the tablecloth was
adorned with n broad black border,
and in the center of the table there was
a miniature coffin filed with choice
flowers.
The guests, however, did not fail to
enjoy themselves, for the dinner was Il
good one, we'll served and to every
body's liking. Wien the chairman rose
to propose the toast of the evening
Health to ourselves and prosperity to
our business during the new year"
he was greeted with storm of ap-
plause, albeit the latter part of the
toast would not be received with much
enthusiasm in an ordinary company.
During the evening appropriate songs,
such as "The Gravedigger." Down
Among the Dead Men," Il Took His
Measure" and similar cheerful ditties,
were excellently rendered. Pearson's
