We understand there are some

1t occurs to us, that in as much
as the President Of the South

head Of a State educational In

him TO be stumping the State in
the interest of partisan politics.

PRESIDENT DAVIS OPPOSED TO PRO-

An open letter from eX-PreSl-

lSs77. in opposition to prohibition,
is being used by the anti-prohI-
bition press at this time for the
purpose Of the effect it will have
on the voters in August where
elections are to be held. The
Prohibitionists would make a
mistake to deny the distinguish

readily concede it to have been
his views at the time, but since
1887, conditions have changed,
then prohibition ir the South
would have been laughed at.
now it has the serious consider
alton of men of all faiths and
creeds. It is not unanimous
sentiment by any means, some
of our very best and wisest
citizens doubt the wisdom of
prohibition legislation, but
admit the abuse of liquor
is an evil, aud the sale
should be under strict regula-
t,ons. then there are equally as
good citizens who religously be-

LET FUTURE DELIVERY ALONE.

There is Il disposition with ma.
ny of our farmers to be tempted
by the price offered fo., future
delivery cotton. 1t is not our
purpose 20 run other people, 5
business. but We Go think it well
20 caution against that which we
believe TO be injurious 20 their
interests. The indications are
for cotton to bring splendid
price. everything points that
way. The mills are bare, and
the demand for manufactured
goods is the greatest ever Known
Cotton goods, in anticipation Of
the high price is advancing dai-
ly. the manufacturers have their
agents in the field 10 make con
tracts for the fall delivery, and
with this condition it does strike
US that the growers Of cotton can
afford to wait for the markets to
open. and not tie themselves to
spectators. Ererv baic of cot
ton sold for future delivery aids
in keeping the price from reach
ing the value that supply and
demand creates. and those who
make these contracts hurt
as well as their fellow
farmers. We therefore take the
liberty to advise against selling
future delivery cotton.

An EDUCATIONAL RALLY.

effect Of arouSing a renewed in
terest in the cause Of education.
The date selected for Clarendon
lis August 9th. and this event
should be made 4 holiday: men
and women should attend the
rally. No school district should
be without a full representation.
County Superintendent Browne
is anxious TO have the rally in
Clarendon a great success. butt
will not be unless the people,
who are to be benefited take 4 full
hand.
There is not 4 school district
but that needs improvements,
some have ideas and plans that
others have not. an Interchange
Of these ideas will result IN a
wonderful amount of good.
We build modern school houses,
levy special taxes, and do other
things in thename Of educational
advancement. but all Of these
while necessary, are wasted en-
ergies, f the people themselves
do not take an active interest IN
the actual work.
School Improvement is a
problem TO be solved: it cannot
be done in day. the best mind
of the country is At work to
create better facilities at re.
duced cost.
At these rallys all Of the vari-
Gus difficulties Of school manage
ment will be taken up, those who
have suggestions looking to i'm
provenent in the school system
will be welcome to give the ben
eft OF them, in fact the rallies
are to extract wisdom from the
multitude of thought. We hear
tily endorse the movement, and
assure our county Supcrinten
dant Of Education. that if we
have any influence it shall be
used to help him make his rally
