SC
The Speakership Race. |
Our sanctum was honored Monday
by a visit from Hon. Fondronl
Mitchell, of Thomasville. lie was
uccomptmied bv If represen tativj
Sturgis, of McDuffie county. Mil
Mitchell is a candidate for speakel 1
of the next House and is making
personal canvass cf the slide seeing
the members who will compose thatl
body. 'Phis is a fonr-coitruered race]
and is exciting unusual interest on
account of the prominence and per¬
sonal popularity of each of the con
testants. The other candidates are:
Hon. N. A. Morris, of Cobb, Hon. E.
II. George, of Morgan and Hon. W.
T. Steed, of Taylor. It is generally
conceded that the race will be close.
We found Mr. Mitchell to be a
gentleman well versed in State craft
and well up with political questions
of the day, and he would, no- doubt
if elected fill thespr...- v s chair with
credit to hiirself and satisfaction to
the members of the House.
The Power of the Press
Wendell Phillips, when once ad¬
dressing a hostile audience, was so
interrupted that lie quietly leaned
over the platform and began talking
in a low tone to the reporters, and
■when the audience stopped their
racket only said—-“Goon gentlemen
—go—on—I am not talking to you,
but fifty millions of the American

' 4The grsac Greek philosopher
that if he could only get a place to
rest his lever he could move the
world. Give ns the press and it
would be easy to move the world,
The old saying used to be.
Three things have mighty sway o'er men,
The awortl, the sceptre and tho jicn."
But mightier now than either
sword or sceptre is the pen.—Ex.
Jefferson Favored Free Schools.
It is not infrequently the case, we
hear some one deriding our public
School system.—Almost invariably
those who are guilty of this are
unable to present any solid argu¬
ment against it, and generally admit
that it lias and is doing inestimable
good; but they oppose it on the
ground Unit it is undemocratic. It
would therefore be interesting to
note what were Thomas Jefferson’s
views in regard to this question.
On the subject of free schools the
Father of Democracy is quoted as
having said;
“What will be the retribution of
the wealthy individual (for his sup¬
port of general education)? 1 The
peopling of his neighborhood enlightened with
honest, useful and citi¬
zens, understanding their rights and
linn in their descendants perpetuation. become 2.

poor, which they generally do with¬
in three generations (no law of
primogeniture now perpetuating their
wealth in the same families)
children will be educated by the
then rich, and the little advance he
now makes to poverty, while rich
himself, will be repaid by the then they
rich, to his desceiidents when
become poor, and thus give them,a
chance of rising again. Ibis is a
solid consideration, and should go
home to the bosom of every parent.
This will be seed sown in fertile
ground. It is a provision fen- his 1
family looking to distant tiinus, and i
far in in duralian hand for beyond them. whal Let, he every has j

man count backward in his own
family, and see how many generations
he can go, before becomes to the
ancestor who made the fortune he
now holds. Most will be stopped at
the first generation, many at the
second, few will reach the third, and
not one in the State (of Virginia) go
beyond the fifth.”

says
Bucli unfortunate creatures might
have saved themselves much trouble
by getting on the Federal pension
roll. As figures never lie, one can*
not escape the conclusion that the
Federal pensioner is immortal even
on this earth. According to the
figures they are more than immortal.
They not only extend the period of
their lives at will but they add to
their number with impunity.
There are now on the pension rolls
of the United States in round num¬
bers one million names. The bullets
of the Confederate soldiers thinned
the blue lines considerably during
the Civil war, but there are now as
many pensioners as the Confederacy
had soldiers, with nearly half a
million more to spare.
You may talk about building
monuments to the Confederate, soldier
if you wish, but the monuments to
his valor that will speak to the
future in trumpet tones are the
national cemeteries throughout the
North and South and the pension
roll that has received so copious an
injection of life’s elixir.

We agree fully with Colvin
J. Z. C., concerning the bridge

idea about it. Of course Lock
is the very place for the bridge,
every man should see it just like
fellows do. We can see very

that the was located
high up the river for the benefit

I think that it concerning gives me a the chance

Now we hope that Robert
and J. Z. C. will coniinitc* to agi

let’s not haye it any further up

will not a>i any more public

boys, and help us out.it wont cost
more to have it at Lock-hart than
it will at its present location. The

right f, to the spot, as it is only four

of the best, rock in the county within
fifty yards of the place and any shape if
you want them. Would be glad
you would have tile contractor to

Capfc. I). B. Cade and wife went to

baseball.
Unde Sam lias given us a new
postofliee near Beulah church. The
name of the new office is Gill.
The singing school at Beulah prov¬

so fast the people couldn’t spare the
time to attend it. We had all the
money made up.
I guess Mr. Charley Hillard has
consented to go to work for Dr. P>. J.
