Dr. Mayo has a<r&in written a letter to the Boston Transcript defending the educational system of South Carolina against tne attacks of its eaemies, both at home and abroad. Dr. Mayo says 'na .RAnrhnn narfr :n education I bUO V??? * W. J- ? . - J in South Carolina, as in Massachusetts, is a considerable body of people, a hopeless minority, to which every population contributes its qaota. It is the anti-common school party, composed of some men of '.he highest: standiag as well as others of a lower he says: "it is easy to say that the mass of respectable people in South Carolina are hypocrites, pretending to support popular education, while laboring secretly for its destruction. But the facts of the case are against thi? impeachment of the com monwcalth." As Dr. Mayo styles himself a "libera! iu politics and theology," his opinion of "Bonrbonisiu" in clucation iu South Carolina will certainly, or at least it ought to, have more ^^^rreighfc than the opinions of outsiders >?v)JHKke McLane or home men of that ^ who are constantly belittling our educational institutions, without j having given the subject one-half the! iitady and attention that Dr. M^j'o has. Dr. Maro U one of the most! T'. j noted educationalists of the country, j and when any school system receives j his commendation it may safely be ' Jf Ta iVir? Ihnf ?; nOKfli-I QillU 4W 40 law vwfc ?mm? j- - ?? bie. Dr. Mayo makes several statements iu regard to our system, which willbe of interest, some cf which we pub? lish: The State distributes more than ten thousand dollars annually of the.Peabodv fund for .commou-school work alone to bofch race?. It slsp appropriates five thousand dollars for the tree training of thirty girls in the Winthrop Training School. Claflin University (colored) is really a large graded! school with a small colleg? department with an industrial attachment, sup- j ported largely bv the Northern Meib- j odist Church." The State selects this as the best of a dozen similar Northern colored mission schools, as a recipient of a portion of the agricultural and | mechanical United States fund, and its P* w our Northern States?the Institute, Convention, and Educational Journai ?are in operation. This system dates from 1S76, when the Hampton Government assumed and finally paid the large debt of the broken-down system of 1S6S, and its success is largely due ^ to the labors of State Superintendents Thompson, Coward and Rice, all men worthy of honor in any State. Of higher education, he says: The only ground for the charge of "upper-caste education" is the moderate subsidizing of the University of South Carolina, which is the crown of the pabiic-9chool system in this, as a similar arrangemenfis in three-fourths the States ofthe. Union. The Legis- j <~C"~T tature gives to the University for whites atr Columbia the management! of the national funds by its agricultu ral and mechanical department, which, I spite of the assertion of yoor corres-1 pondents, is in the way to become one of the most effective in the South; able, in my opinion, to hauHle this important "branch of instruction with more vigor and economy than would be possible, under present circumstances, in a separate institution. The sum given to Claflin (colored) University, in cogflgCticftt with tbo^-SJater-, 1w> ?7?"' fund gift, enables that school to do excellent industrial work. These moneys, of course, involve no cost to the peopte. In addition, the State appropriates $62,400 to the three institutions included in the general term "State university," the South Carolina College, of Columbia, receiving $37,000; the Military Academy, of Charleston, $20,400-; and CHaflin .(colored), $5,000. All these schools are tuitionpaying, wiih the exception of some free scholarships, accepted on condition of teaching in the schools of the State after graduation. The South Carolina College, at Coinmbia, bears the same to South Carolina as Harvard to Massachusetts, having been in existence since 1861. It is one of the best colleges in the Sonlh, and has just appointed as professor of pedagogics for university "and outside work Dr. Sheib, of Baltimore, pronounced by Sir. G. Stanley Hall, one of the most eminent vouug men of the country in popular education. The expenses of k education at the University are established at $ ISO. and, "under no circumstances, should exceed $210 a year;" and ihe students are in no way different, in social standing, from the average American college. The president and leading professor*, including Professor Davis (an old public-school teacher), are most eminent friends of the .cotnrnon schools, and the assertion that the University is hostile to popular education is not true. The Military Academy at Charleston is one of j the oldest St?.)Cx institutions and is lawmli' a . nf to^hnnlnorv* ?nct w* -jvuvw* - v* w..?* , academic instruction. Both these institutions repay the State a hundred fold by sending forth their graduates as teachers in every class of schools. The opposition to State aid for the University comes chiefly from the halfdozen denominational colleges and numerous sectarian and private academies. These schools are, in maincases, very good, and rank fairly with similar establishments in other Southern . States, and their opposition to State aid for higher education docs not differ from the same movement at the North. Syrop of Figs Is Nature's own true laxative.

I It has becomc quite common in ' recent >ears in the State of South Carolina for a certain pretentious class of men, styling themselves reformers, ' to oppose everything and everybody connected with the State government. ! Any honest opposition and sincre dif- [ 1 ference cannot be condemned in any I! one, but when this opposition arro- 1 gates to itself all the virlure and hon- J esty to be found in the party and government and stoops to the low and contemptible icheme of traducing andslandering the characters of men of ' known and tried honesty, it becomes imperative for the honorable ?' -r Cfofrt try covpro'v ftnd i UiC KJ vii l/V IV ? v.

We have constantly set before us in our paper.* charges of actual stealing and other dishonest actions among onr ' officials, unaccompanied by a single word, statement or evidence of proof. It is easy enough to make such charges, bnt it is extremely difficult to prove them by tacts. Who arc the men that make these charges? They are either ' men who are out of office and want ii\ thns having an eye {p their own interests, or are men who are.thirsting for notoriety. Two instances may be given: L. S. Bigham, of Marion, recently stated that Governor Thompson took away from the exccutitc mansion furniture for his own use. He made this state men?, a falsehood, of coarse, without one iota of proof. To what a pass have we come when a man in a pnbiic speech will make such charges against an ex-Chief Executive of the State! Mr. B. R. Tillman also is an expert at this mean business. His style is familiar lo all. lie is head and shoulders above Lhetn ail in such statements. But he has shown by what methods they work. What is true of him, the chiefest of them, is probably true of all. He proposes to canvass the State in opposition to the present administration. In the "secret" conclave recently held in Columbia he made many sweeping charges, among them one, that the salary of the superintendent of the Asylum had been increased from $2,000 to $3,000 in the past few years. | One of the commit lee showed him j that lie was wrong?that the State had paid $2,000 and the Board of Reg'ents ; $1,000,- and that it was now paid in a lump. lie replied that it made no difference to him. He saw the apparent difference and would tell it to the people without telling tbe wny ana the wherefore. In other words, to ! pat it mildiy, he will be very prodigal : of the truth in order to sustain his position. This from Ben Tillman, the erstwhile persecuted apostle of economy and the down-trodden farmers! It is time to call a hall in this slander -business, but should it continue, it will most assuredly fall into "innocuous desuetude," especially when hiC^^^Wot'Th'em we say, "pur up TJic^Jnm.tj' Convention. j The Convention, on Saturday, was I as usual a most harmonious meeting of the Democratic hosts of Fairfield, i Several important actions were taken, j among which were the election of | delegates to the Congressional and [ Judicial Conventions. All of the gentlemen elected are true, tried and hone6t Democrats, who will not only ! vA-fl'/M-nrStf- itnfkM thr> rwrnK*. hilt. V? VV44I. Vfc J/ V ??

In electiug delegates to the two Conventions, the Democracy of Fairfield very enthusiastically expressed their confidence in General Bratton and Solicitor McDonald, and pledged to each of them their mo^t hearty support. The Democrats' of Fairfield are i going to work hard to elect these iwo gentlemen to the positions, which one of them already holds and to which the record of the other, both in war and peace, entitles him. The action taken by the convention i under the Elliott resolution, which < was adopted instead of that of Capt. ; Mason, is of far-reaching importance. Minors, unless they become of age by ] the next ensuing general election, will not be allowed to vote in the clubs for | delegates to the Convention nor at the j primary for conntv officers or any < other. All minors, however, who are j sixteen years of age or more will be . allowed to vole in the clubs tor club j officers only. All the clubs in the s county should carefully note this ac- r tion. i A Snssestion. Under the present rules and regula- i nous governing me primary elections j of our county, it is a question whether ] certain parties who will be entitled to ] cast their votes at the general election, ? will have* the privilege of voting in ( the primary. Under the rults, each j voter is required to take ihe following ^ oath: "I solemnly affirm that I am i entitled to vote at general elections t under the laws of South Carolina; that j I am. a duly enrolled member of this \ Democratic Club; and that I have not ] voted at this election; and that I will* c abide by and sustain all nominations made by the Democratic party, whether for Federal, State or Coantv offices." " s We may safely sav ihat in a number < of instances parties who are not * twe:itv-one years of age 011 the day of 1 the primary will have passed their t majority 011 the date of the general I election. Yet we know of some who I would not vote in the primary, who ? would be of age at the general elec tion, on the grond that they cannot J sonscientionsly take the required oath, j We think that iiistead of using the j present tense, "I am," the use of the phrase, "I will be entitled to vote at the next general election," would be preferable, and those for whose benefit this article is written would be ible to cast their votes in the primary, although at that time they will uot be 1 .1?*: ^ ^ entitled to vote at general wanuua. The Executive Committee couid easily remedy the difficulty and make certain what is now uncertain, to some at least. The Main Issue. We think Democraticjournals, while laying- so much stress on General Harrison's bine blood and kid gloves jfcid j Levi P. Morton's "hoodie", are apt to J jive these personal characteristics of the Republican candidates too much prominence as compared with the principal issue of the campaign?tariff reform. It might as well be admitted that Harrison and Morton are both > gentlemen of clean and honest char- j acter, and that because one of them ; had a grandfather of prominence and => - i the other has money is of no detriment to them. Neither ancestry, kid gloves, j nor "boodle" is the issue. The great j ? J ? l ?i vchoHlPt* iiiiu omy isjuu * > i?*? in * v?w? ?

I Harrison and Morton represent the ! party which wonld have costly neces- ! saries rather than high-priced luxuries, ! and which would tax the people for j the benefit of a few monopolist?, j Upon this platform should they be ! fought, and this platform will lead i more surely to their defeat. Let the , main issue be more prominent than a | secondary one, and the sensible people j of tills country will more readily vote : with the party of reform. .Boston Arrogance. The Boston Evening- Transcript is I "fully persuaded that the first and j greatest need of South ^Carolina is to j be understood at the North." If the j Transcript wishes to learn something j about us we invite its editor to come ! down on a visit; he shall be politely ! received and every opportunity afford- j ed him to study our civilization and j our methods, but that our "first and greatest need" is that we should be understood at the North is simply ridiculous. Soulh Carolina realizes the fact that she must work out her own destiny and aside from a general desire to deserve the good opiuion of all she is perfectly indifferent as to whether the North understands her or not. The time for South Carolina eat "humble pie" has past. She is now luoviug tui Winn iu ii iJiusi/cin,* which will be abiding and tor whrch she is not in the least indebted to the North. The Crops. WmtsiTetf^^^e111 OTSpg! TOP1 gentle showers which have fallen since Saturday were very much needed in some sections. The cotton crop, though late, with favorable seasons can yet be large. An ohl and expepienced fanner informs us that the condition of the cotton plant is such that it will stand more dry weather than if the plant was sr.ccnlent. We sincerely hope that August will prove a good cotton month, and that the farmer will be" well rewarded for his year's labor?. Ths North is full of men who are independent in politic?. These men vote on principle and are not swayed ? by sentimentality brought about by the personal magnetism of nominees. In many cases they hold the balance of power in State elections. So far as we have seen this large body of citi zeus, tnrougn tncir jeaneis, nave expressed the highest admiration for Cleveland, his administration, and the Democratic party, and have been equally severe upon the Republican platform. Among the many journals representing this class wc note three of the greatest iullnencc i the country?the New York Times. Harper's Weekly, and New York Post. These journals, among mary others in the North, which have geuerallv been Hepublican, now, as in 1834, support Cleveland. The South Carolina Democratic Association has been formed in Washington. John F. Treutlen, of Columbia, is president,and W. B. McDauiel, of Columbia, secretary. The other officers are: .Tas. N. Lipscomb, oft Newberry, 1st vice-president; Ed cvard Mclver, of Cheraw, second Ticepresident; K. S. Murchison, of Abbeville, financial secretary; J. S. Cut:mg, of Berkley, sergeant-at-arms. . Executive committee? C. M. Davis, ; Spartanburg; James Tillman, Edgefield; C. C- Manning, Manning. The < Association has made a most gratify- 1 ng beginning and will make themselves felt in the coming campaign, j Fhey sent delegates to the recent meet- ' ng of Democratic Clubs at Baltimore. j Henry Wattkcsox, of the Louis- j ,'ille Courier-Journal, thinks Indiana { ?afe for the Democrats?so does Judge 1 McDonald, of that State. Neverfche- ( ess, it will be one of the battle rroands of the campaign. So will < Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, i ind California. All the other Stales i ,vill probably still be joined to their ( dols. In the States in which the bat- j :le.i= to be fooght independent ob- < servers think the Democrats have the J >est chances. Indeed, New York and ' ? c ?ew Jersey arc considered Demo- j :ratic beyond donbt. y MB Bl 1 adhceto jiotqees.

All candidates will attend these meetings, bntonly candidates for the Legislature will be expected to make speeches. It is hoped that the- campaign will be conducted free from any bad feeling or personal issues. We lake it that there is really no i-sue in the campaign, and it will !>c a matter of preference, not men. Let us all go into it, therefore, with the best feeling. Above all let us avoid nil reports which are always circulated iit the canvass. If wagers upon the result of the Presidential contest are any test of public sentiment in the matter, then Cleveland, indeed, will have* a walk over. In New York city, where that sort of thing is common, odds of two to one arc offered on Cleveland's election. A large bet of $20,000 to 810,000 was recently made in (hat city on his lection. Ix every campaign the Democratic and Republican papers are filled with names of men of every degree of importance and insignificance who holt their respective parties. The Democrats arc considerably ahead in-that line this year, by showing a much larger list than the enemy. ?
