WEDNESDAY, SEPT. H, 1S95. COG?la BREVITIES. .i-ri-rnrH--tniT*TJ'r~-TT*'<' B "* M Mlw DEATH OF DR. CUNT TOMPKINS. The death of this honored citizen oc cured at his residence, Meeting Street, on Friday last. Deceased was during all the years of his sojourn here a most worthy example of what a citizen should be; and in all the other relations of life he was equally an examplar. Edgelield County will sorely miss his counsel and aid in the years to come as she has profited by both in the years thal; are gone. The following "tribute" has been handed us for pub lication, so apt and true that we would make it our own : A Tribute. Without friendship life has no charms. There are men of a character so open and generous that tnere is no one but who would be gainer by making them their friend. Such an one was: DK. DXWITT CLINTON TOMPKINS or AI BETING ST., EDGKFISLD CO., S. C. "His day has come not gone, His sun risen not set, His life is now beyond The reach of death or change Not ended but begun." All that was mortal of him nowrests OD the Hill of Stevens Church yard in sight of his old home (Meeting_Street) among the dust of his kindred who have preceded him to "the silent land." I claim "The privilege of attempting this as a tribute to my departed friend, yes, one of the best I ever had on earth. I had ample opportunities of knowing him well and if I only could describe, as he really was, without a particle, of exag?ration his memory would never perish. The memories of him will live on and remain bright iii the hearts of those wlio knew and lov ed him. Ile has ?left to his family and friends a heritage better than riches, "agood name. May we profit by his example, and at last rejoin him in the bright beyond. A FUIEND. tmw?t^B?tMMB?????U?CtttW?D M i na fnt?tustaot* The advertisement .of Alvin Hart & Co., will appear next week.

Mr. Brabham has concluded his meetings in the Methodist church, and Mr. Beard has returned to his charge at Graniteville. These meetings were productive of great good, especially tr) members of the Methodist and other churches of our town. Mr. Beard was an earnest, forceful, and impressive ?peaker, and an untiring worker in the vineyard. The chronic grumbler still lives, but there are less cases of chronic Indi gestion and Dyspepsia than formerly. The fact is so many people in the past have taken Simmons Liver Regulator that they are now cured of these ills.

Mr:Jim Wood, our local shoe-ma ker, has beeu conllned to his bed for eight weeks, but is now up again ready for work, and may be found at his old stand. He says that during bis illness the report was industrious ly circulated by some designing per sons all over Edgelield county that he had removed from Edgefleld to Ridge Spring. He bids us contradict this report and say for him ot old Edge tield as Cowper would have said, had he been iu his shoes: "Edgelield, with all thy faults I love the . still-and the stiller the better."

Ac GERMAN J Some Very Good Suggestions Upon the Vital Matter of Ed ucation, by a Georgia Teacher. MR. EDITOR: All enlightened nations have their public school system deeming it wise to provide for the children an opportunity for at least an elementary educa tion. How to do this and give justice to the whites who pay most of the taxes as well as to the ne gro who needs charitable consid eration isa question confronting . the Southern States. A convie tion is growing with the whites that the taxes paid by them for ] school purposes should be appro priated only to white schools, and ? the taxes paid by the nogro should . go to only negro Rchools. This ( then it- certainly a fundamental question for the consid?ration of j your convention. A government ? undertaking to raise every man's j children from birth till of ago would rightly be denominated a parental government. To trv to j school them all their school age is j about the same thing; a very j slow parent at that to send tho i children from six to eighteen, twelve years merely to learn the elementary studies. Most old cou nt ri* s limit the nge to fourteen und no doubt f.?r the purpose of ceasing parental charge at a time when merit of the child or sacrifice on the part of the pa- i rent should sustain further educa- i lion, as well as to give the chil- f dren their elementary education 1 that early. Even if the taxes of \ the two races for pchn...l purposes t can be separated and appropriated t each to its respective race it. would ( he wise to limit the age to 'four teen instead of eighteen or ev-ni ] sixteen iii teaching morftly th?? ele- \ ineiitury branches. Many espe- i cia liv of the negro race are grown J in size at the age of fifteen or i eighteen. There being no public register of the ages a large :mm- t her of negroes go to sch ?ol from t three to Hvo years after eighteen, j But let the limit be fourteen and ( th? appearance of children will t show when they are overage. That, ? age will no doubt give the chil- t dren the Bame leavningas now at t eighteen, for the parent will then c do his best to keep bis children { ..?ntlv iu school whereas now" and continuously, in school tor c eight year* can be taught even * better than one going irregularly through twelve school terms, be- s sides giving the former the advan- ^ tage of four years in which to add ^ to his learning by nis own exer- j tions or otherwise. The fourteen* I years old boy or girl will certain ly be prouder and more ambitious than the one at eighteen with the same learning. Overgrowu negroes going to school, aud slow progress of children in consequence of irregular atten dance rather condemns the public ? school system. It is the practice 1 if not necessity among the white * laborers and farmers to keep the a children over twelve at home to t aid them in their farms during t crop season, while the negro liv- ' ing on half rations continues his t children at school even after eigh- s teen.* 1 Again I repeat let the school age be between six and fourteen in j order fo put overgrown negroes to ? work out their own education, to i foster a spirit of sacrifice by the 1 parent to keep the children in ( school and have them learn the ( elementary studies early, to foster 1 a spirit of self-reliance and indi- : viduaiity with all families and c youths of the State, and to do 1 justice to the convictions and in- i terests of taxpayers by limiting s charitable appropriations to ?ea sonable aid. Do this and tho State will have for her public school system a higher appreciation of its merit* and greater co-operativ,e efforts to make it operate v>ell. I am aware that wise laws are based upon a comprehension of what the people will do under sur rounding circumstances and not j upon what they ought to do, but < nevertheless I give ray reasons for ; the faith I entertain that the State ; will accomplish more with thc , school ago between six and four teeu than can now be done with - the age botweeu six and eighteen, 1 L.
