But belore leaving the subject of our circle we deem it proper to Mate that we observe u marked improvement In our common schools in the last two yearn. It is encouraging to note thul the teachers are better Informed, and Improved methods of teaching are gradually, if not rapidly, rinding their way liito all our common schools,and people generally, but parents especially, are taking greater in terest in the education of their children, it Is a tact, though much It may be regretted, that these schools through which alone education can reach the masses, huve not recciv- | 'd the attention and support they should Upon the success of these little schools, though humble they may be, depends an Intelligent citi/.enshlo, without which uo country can prosper. We have been studying the suiiiect of educational support for sometime huu the more wh study it the more thoroughly are we convinced that our Free Common Schools tlo not receive that governmental support, compared to that given to the colleges, that their importance demands. We have also been thinking'recently ol a plan or system hy which greater progress and success in common school education may be effected, of which we may speak later. .Suffice it to say lor the present that there is sull room for much needed improvement and that the time has come for us. as parent?, as citizens, as patriots, to consider well our duly.

GREENWOOD'S PLEDGE, The Men Who Guarantee Ciiootl Faith. Editors of County Papers: i Sirs?Ah there seems to be some misapprehension as to what the town of Greenwood proposes to do In relation to bearing the burden of taxation to be Incurred in the organization of the new couuty, we send you herewith a copy of the petition to which signatures are being solicited: 1 "To the Honorable Senate aod House of 1 Representatives of the Slate of South Carolina: i "We, the undersigned citizens residing within the proposed Judicial aDd election county to be lOrtned out of portions of Abbeville, Edgefield and Laurens counties, do petition your honorable bodies to establish said county, to be known as Greenwood county, with the county seat at Greenwood, South Carolina; with the proviso, however, that the town of Greenwood bhall furnish and pay for ilie sites and public buildings necessary for said new county, and no addit ional taxation be placed upon property outside of said town 1 therefor." Now, from the above it should be manifest, to the people of Abbeville county that Green- i wood Is entirety sincere and thorough in her 1 determination to fulfill each and everv promise made by her along this line. Besides, tne 1 bill Itself will incorporate the provisions necessary to enforce tne carrying out of the 1 above proviso. In order to satisfy, however, the most In credulous we append the following guarantee : We. the undersigned citizens of Greenwood, iln hprphv nlprlpp nnroplvnu Yn npp that, t.hn < town of Greenwood carries out the Bald provino In good faltb, and, also, that the public buildings shall be as good or better than those of Abbeville couuty : I.

THE CAROLINA SENATORSHIP. i It AIiitterM nut Whether Tillnmu or Hutler In Kle?te<l-Biit the Avowed PopullNt Better TIihii the Sliam. Atlanta Journul. The press, North, South, East aud West, Is axpressing itsdiscust at the manner In which the so-called Joint debates between Senator Butler and (Governor Til I mail are conducted. The Journal was one of the first papers In the country to comment on the low tone aud the utter unprofitableness of these discussions. They will not help the Democracy or South Carolina and cannot possibly do anybody any good. Surely no vote has been made or changed by tills inud-sllnglng match. The New York Evening I'ost has this causLio but deserved editorial allusion to the mat ter. "Senator Butler, of South Carolina, having Bntered into competition with Governor Tillman for the populist vote, is now under the necessity o! using very bad language on the Alump. Very likely Tillman Is deserving of the choice collection of epithets applied to him by Butler, but the use of such epltl.ets will not bring Butler any votes from the Tillman crowd. "Braggart, bully and coward" < itre among the terms used by Butler to define Dllmau. Time was when no man could be a I candidate for otlice in South Carolina and receive such decorations from an adversary i without fighting. Tillman rotorts by calling the oposiug candidate 'Coxey Butler,' and i Butler does not object that phrase, but seems 1 to be rather prond of It. It is all very queer, I aud we wonder If this cau be the South Caro- ' na of Hayneand Calhoun, of Khett aud the ' elder Butler. Apparently not?as little as the Massachusetts of Lodge can be that of Webster, or the Pennsylvania of Thaddeus Stevens can be that of Matt Quay. The decadence of'i the senate is one of ine mournful slcns of the 1 times. It is really Immaterial for any public < purpoNe whether Bui ler or Tillman represent* < South Carolina la that body now. For soc'al puposes Butler may be preferable, but since | both are likely to vote the same way, it is ' desirable that the votes should be given by the avowed populist rather than the sham i one." 1 The Post's reference to the decadence of the United States senate Is only too well Justified by the facts. Not in the civilized world has i there been such a falling off lb any represent- j i ative body in tbe last fifteen years, as there i has been in the United Stales senate. Pigmies now rattle about in many seats which, but recently, giants tilled, and there is a varied I array of cranks in that highest council of the I nation. If you need spectacles, go to K. C.
