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

the white race. 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

neither of whom they may expect
substantial aid, and that while South

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.
While this is in no sense a mere* di
vision of patronage asked lor, even]
putting it on that basis, South Caro^j

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.
