WHY ADVERTISE OUU I, J WEAKNESS. . , In an article which recently ap j>oaretl in "The State,1' Hon. J. J. McMahan gives a detailed account ol the workings of the three mill con stitutional tax.as divided between white and colored schools. I Mr. McMahan's articles are always , interesting for the reason that he is a very thoughtful and forceful writer, and for the further reason that the jrreat amount of information appear ing in his articles may be relied oh. But why advertise in a leading State daily those things which we are forced tb do, contrary to law and the constitution, to do justice between the races ? As matter of fact, while the 3 mill schpol tax is supposed to be appor tioned without regard to persons or color the law allows each tax payer , to designate the school to which his taxes shall go. If this were enforced strictly the colored people would get much less money for their schools than they do now. The law is so arranged that all schools are in the hands of white trustees, but these men give colored schools far more than the taxe**?f the colored people of any given district would amount to. White people are willing to bear the btirdensCof-taxa tion and share the benefits iu a limit ed degree with the colored race, but when so many poor white children stand in need of education, it is folly ,.r to expect the white tax payer and the white trustee to educate the col ored race to the serious detriment of o o o o . * .

If the thfee mill and poll taxes were distributed strict ly according to law, the colored chil dren would receive over three fourths of the funds, while white tax payers would contribute more than four-fifths of it. The present division of school funds ni3.v not be legal, strictly speaking, but it is equitable and it is oi>eratinff for the common pood of white and colored schools. When Mr. McMahan calls attention to the technical violations of the law in a daily newspaper that is evidently closely scanned by leading Northern papers he leaves a false impression in the minds of Northern people. Tyhis is the difficulty the South has labored untler since the war, and only io recent years have Northern people come to a better understand ing of the South's problem. Even colored }>eople are fast realizing that the Southern white man is their best friend ; that the two classes of North ern people who are interested in them ar*4 fanatics and politicians, from neither of whom they may expect substantial aid, and that while South I'm ]XH)|HU MO IIOL givu uicui njum rights, tliey give them nil that is eon distent with'the best interests of the two rates. DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND j * MARSHAL APPOINTED. Hon. F. H. Weston, of Columbia, has been appointed District Attorney mid Col. J. Ii. Sims, of Orangeburg, lias been appointed Marshal for the; District of South Carolina. These men both reside in the* lower South Carolina District. It is hoped that our Representa tives in Congress will now, proceed to put in operation the machinery of the upper District. With a Southern President and the Democratic party fully in the saddle it would seem that the way is open for action. But for disagreement in the delegation as to the location of places for holding court in the upper district, these of ficers would havt been named, Judjje, Attorney and Marshal, by a Republican administration fully eight years ago. Then why need a Democratic administration halt in rendering this much needed service to t he^State. i If there is any good reason why at torneys and litigants should be forced to traverse the Slate of South Caro lina, entailing loss of time and mon ey, to get into the United States Courts, when every other Southern State is conveniently divided into districts, accessible to the f>eople we would like to know that n ason.

' , Rebels Will Wait Until They Have Supplied Themselves With Arms and Ammu nition. Mexico City, Feb. 8.?President fluerta n the past week has succeeded, without nueh flighting, in reopening lines of com Qunication in Tamplco and Laredo and >elween Sultillo and Torreon. This ap larent advantage is explained to some ex <?nt. hv t,h? fnr>+. t hat the rebels have re eived instructions to cease operating in mall bands in those districts and join the oricentration movements near Torreon .nd about Tampico. Indications are that there will be a lull 1 military operations until the rebels tave supplied themselves with additional rms and ammunication and that when ren6. Carranza and Villa and other rebel 3aders have completed their precautions ur an advance several important engage nents will be fought. In the isthmus of Tehauntepec and in egions adjoining the capital numerous' ebel organizations are operating. Per iaps the most dangerous rebel operation omparatively close to the capital is that irected by Gen. Juan Franciso Lucas, lopularly called "The Patriarch of the lierra Indians." INDIANS ARE STRONG. These Indians control a large area for j ho most part ia the State of Pueblo. They ,re well equipped and have received among hem a force of about 500 northern rebels, I ?ho serve to connect their movement with hat of Gen. Carranza. President Huerta has 0,000 men at Tor eon and 4,000 at Monterey. At Tampico he federal garrison is approximately ,01)0, and always there remain the gun loats at Vera Cruz to reinforce. President Huerta will eoutinue to sei.d roops to Torreoo uutil the total force here is at least 10,000. Military men profess to doubt whether he rebels can take Torreon, even after hey obtain ammunition. President Huerta's calm attitude after he lifting of the embargo on arms seems o have gained liim some sympathy, and n local llnaneial centres it is believed he ms slightly more favorable prospects of >b*aiding money. Even without foreign tss: stance lie will be abl to extract from ocai sources many millions. Owners of haciendas adjoining the Slate >f Mexico have been notified that they vill be expect to loan the government noney on their land and it would cause 10 surprise il" special taxes were imposed >n all property in tlie capital and other ities wliic Huerta still controls. ALONG TWO LINES. The opinion is held hem that rebels in lie north will direct their energies along ,wo lines of campaign?one looking to the apture of Torreon, Zacatecas, Angus Cal entes and other tow-as, in their path to he capital, and the other to the capture )fTamplco. With Monterey and San Luis Potosi as secondary objectives, the moral effect of he capture of Torreon , would be great, >ut military men point out that the stra jetic value of Tampico \vould be still greater, as it is the source of the fuel sup ply. Those who have watche developments jeliove the task of isojating the capital rom food supply districts probably will entrusted to small bands now opurat ng in all of those districts. Rebels sym pathizers here say that within two mouths 'eilerals will be cutting the railroads to teep the rebel forces out of the capital. h w I HflDDt Pros tli The ( new era 1 w VI/ w VI/ vl/ I I \l/ $ $ f . kl'i ?
