After au interval of two w< eks, the
Anderson Peoples* Advocate conies
beck at the Dispatch with an array
or figures, which are publish?d else
where in this issue, which are as mis
leading as its assertions aie unfounded.
We have no right to eompltin of
nAnicnnnrnrr't: CVlilAnt. VYftllfc of
U ui wi'iJir i.u pv/* i?i j u v
courtesy in neglecting to publish
iu his own columns 'our rcp'y so
that his readers could judge for
themselves as to the merits of the
cc-ct ntions of an article which he
deck r s to be "weak," "untenable,"
"lame," and "impotent conclusions''
nor did we desire it if such a course
was fiot suggested by a spit it of f tirness.
We are contented in the fact
that intelligent readers generally
form a prttty correct idea of the
strength of a criticised aiticle when
the critic fears to lay the article in
question before his readers before asserting
that i. s C( nteiilions were lame
and untenable.
We not only questioned the accuracy
of our contemporary's authors
but in strong and evidently unanswerable
arguments contended that
Egyptian, and other foreign, cottonwas
destined to have an adverse influence
upon the cotton market of this
-
country, io the financial loss of the
cotton growers of the South unless
a duty was put up cm the former sufficient
at hast to equalize the difference
in the cost of production in
the two countries. To which thi
Advocate, at loss for a better answer,
attempts to evade the issue by asseitirg
that Great Britain and hncontinental
neighbors had been ran
sacking the world to find some favored
land that would produce a staple
equal to ours. Fur the strength of
our contemporary's contention, this
is a fatal admission. Great Britain
and her continental neighbors have
found the favored land which pro
duces cct-'on which equals, aud is in
some respects, expeits affirm, a superior
staple to ours, because its color
mat-/? thp nf dre nnnpepssarv
and the fineness and toughness of tex
lure makes in admirably adapted to
the manufacture of the tine grades of
goods. This being admittedly the
case, as is also the further consideration
that cotton can be produced
cheaper with the half starved and
half naked labor of that country
than it can be in the South is it not
preposterous to contend that Eug
land, with her vast wealth, and business
foresight would now shut her
eyes to the grand possibilities of this
land for which she and her conti
neDtal neighbors have been searching
so long, and especially so when some
of that favored land is a part of h<r
own domains. Egypt, Afiica, India,
Arpv ipn rrwl Smith A nil rnisp
cotton, and a?, according to our contemporary,
cniy 100.000 bales of
foreign raised cotton finds its way to
this nmke\ it is cb ar that it goes
to other markets and it must nooes
sarily follow that there is a falling
off in the export of Southern cotton.
As to the figures used by our contemporary,
be must be iu error as to
their authorship or they were taken
from the ceusus taken in 1800, Vol.
Ill, which has just been sent out
by the Interior Department, and as
nearly a decade has passed since the
taking of the census, and since its
t iking wonderful, almost magical,
progress has been made in the development
of the cotton industry in the
South, they are absolutely valueless as
evidences of the correctness of the
Advocate's position, and strengthens
the contention of the Dispatch.
Again is our contemporary in error
when he asserts that the Democratic
party has been lighting the tariff for
nearly three .juarters of a century.
The threatened war of which he
speaks, happened under a strong
Democratic administration, the policy
of which was high tariff. This policy
received the support and approval of
a majority of the party, but was con-!
demned by the rich aristocratic planters
and factors in and around Charleston
who shipped cotton to and j
bought goods direct from England j
and Franco, and they cared not a row J
of pins bow much the middle and j
working classes would le protected j
in the products of their labor by a ;
high tariff so that in the gratification j
of their love for pleasure and fiueiy, j
they could continue to receive their j
silks and satin, and purple and tine linens
and diamonds from foreign j
countries free from duty.
It is a self evident fact that the j
industries of the North have pros- I
pered and flouiished under a system j !
of protection, it is clear to even a ; :
dullard that the industries of the j !
South will flourish under the same j i
conditions, and if our cuntempary is
so busy in raking over the ashes of
the dead past that he cannot understand
the trend of public events, we
cauuot help him further and therefore
leave him in his ignorance.

the Columbia tSta'e was putting

The new home of the State is on<

aud wishes for its enterprising and
progressive neighbor a long life and
au abundance of prospciity.

and the Loan and Exchange Banks
of Columbia. The personiul of the
o'Seers of the consolidated bank is

its transactions. E. W. Ilob

Mr. Julius II. Walker, the former
cashier of the L tan and Exchange,

strong institution will be made

OBITUARY.
Mrs. Margaret E , widow of the
late John A. Fulmer, died at her
home, near Peak, on December 8,
1S97, in the TSth year of her age.
She was a devoted member of St.
John's Evangelical Lutherii Church
and from the time she professed an
abiding faith in the promises of God,
until the day of her death, she lived
a consistent Christian life -and departed
hence in the full assurance of
a blessed immortality beyond this
vale of sorrow. Many live to hallow
and revere her memory on account of
the good she did, and her kindness
to neighbors and friends, and her
devotion to her family were household
words.
A Tennessee lady, Mrs. J. \Y.
Towlo. of Philadelphia, Tenn , has
been using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy for her baby, who is subject
to croup, and says of it: 'T find it
just as good a* you claim it to be.
Since I've had your Cough Remedy,
baby has been threatened with croup
ever so many times, but I would give
him a d< se of the Remedy and it
prevented his having it every time."
Hundreds of mothers say the same.

her continental neighbors and thiy ;

proof of it is found from statistics
which we submit from governmental
reports, the accuracy of which lie
cannot afford to question, and which
a ill be a sufih-ient answer to the un
supported claim which he makes that
ac do not produce one half the cotton
<f the world. The figures are for
LXOi 05, and show the total consumption
of cotton in the world to be
15.757,000 bales. Oi this amount
Great ihituin cou sutned 4,' St),000
bdes of cotton, the continent of
Kurope consumed 5.0110,000 bales of
otton, the United Slates 5.210.00
biles, and some ether countiies
sin ilh r amounts. Our 1 >tal crop for
that year was something near 10.000,000
bale-, showing a production of
somethiug near Ihree-tourtns oi the
woild's supply of cottoil by the
Southern States. Those figures dispose
of the Dispatch's contention,
and we must accept the figures of {
efliei d reports, as otherwise argument
is usdess. As a further answer
to the Dispatch in regard to the
claim that the South manufactured
the bulk of its cotton we submit the
following figures as to the number
of spindles in the wot Id all taken
from the same source. Great Britian
had 43,400,000 spindles, the continent
of Euiope 28,250,000, the
I'uit d States 1G,23S,100, India 3,1100v0,
making a grand total of 92,893,000
spindles in the world, only a
little over 1G millions of which are iu
" t 1 .. i;m?
iue l micu ouucs uuu it nui<; itoj
than -1 millions in the South. Fioru
these figures it would seem that the
cotton manufactuiiug of the South is
only an infinitesimal part of the manufacturing
of the woild. To simplify
this a little, if every cue of the 13,737,000
bales weighed 500 pounds there
were 6,SOS,500,00 pounds of lint cotton
consumed, which would give a
little over 72 pounds per spindle.
At this rate the Southern mills consumed
about '2D2 million pounds.
The mills of the United States consumed
1 biliiou 177 pounds, while j
the mills of the rest of the world
consumed 5 billion, 7S7 millions, 701
pounds, or more than five times as
much as we consumed here at home, j
What becomes of the Dispatch's
contention iu view of these figures?
And it is a lame and impotent conclusion
that it anives at when itsay^
that it is tr\iug to bring the Dt-mo j
cratie nartv back to its ancient faith j
. 1 . I
of high protection when it is recalled [
that the Democratic part}' has b;cn I
for neatly three quarters of aceuturv I
fighting the monster of a protective i
taiifl* and that our own State came;
near being plunged into war in nullif\ing
this very atrocious law, and !
that almost every Democratic plat j
form for that time has put the patty ;
o-i record against it. High probe- I
tion deprives us of the foreign market i
and does not help us much in the ;
home maiket.

The T:: chore' Asscciatbn.
Tue largest gatheiing of teachers
o o
ever seen in Li xingtou county was
convened in the Lexington Graded
School building on last Saturday.
The meeting was called to order !
., 1
by the President L. A. Sease and j
prayer was offered by Dev. \Y. H. j
Pioof. The Secretary O. D. Seay, j
called the roll and read the minutes j

Secretary time to enroll the names of
the many new members present.
An excellent paper on reading was 1
read by Mr. X. (). Pyles. He thought J
the pupil should understand the .
| 1
meaning of what he read. Then it j
would give the proper ?xprrssinn.

Speeial preparation for teaching
wisably elucidated by Mr. J'. X
Shrilly. He said the doctor had his
medical sell >ol, the lawyer his college,
the minister his seminarv. hut everybody.
without any special prepara
tion, Could he a "school keep' i" if
not a school teach<r. Too many
tiiink they know all about the lessons
they are to teach and In nee never
look over them even before alt-nipt
ing to teach them. Mr. Shtaly
thought the lessons to be taught
should at least be looked over at d j
that the teacher should provide hiui !
self with as many of the books that
liis students study as possible in
order to fit himself to teach all the
subjects and not to be content with
sinmlv knowin.r the text.
1 -J o
IMi-. Pvles said, study those bocks
with which the instructor is the !e:ist
familiar, but to peruse books already
learned would be lost time.
The schoolmaster should teach his
pupils to study by ihst studying!
himself, Mr. O. J). Seay thought
he should be so thoroughly court rsant
with the subject to be treated
that it it were necessary he could
close the text beck (for indeed it is
intended to be sueli) and ask and
answer all questions in the lessen
with a readiness and accuracy that
would at once inspire confidence and !
cause a thirst for the acquisitions of |
j
kuowledge. It we would cot be j
narrow, and thereby cause our pupils
to be narrow, we should study many
authors on the same subj-et Also
read periodicals which treat the sub
jects we teach in older to give the
pupil the most advanced thought in i
every phrase of knowledge.
A nice talk on the study of Amen- j
can literature was given by Mr j
Coker. He said the child should be j
taught something about the litrra- j
ture of his country what to read and j
what to reject. There are many j
books some of which are to be read j
others are to be rejected. The same j
applies to the newspaper we should j
not lead every article in it, but only j
that which is necessary and suited to I
our needs. You may judge character |
by the books that are read; therefore
it is very important that the j
child be taught eaily in life to read ;
only tin appropriate subjects in a
periodical and to devour only the
best books.
' Fire and Water in the school
room" was humorously discussed by
Mr. L A. Sease. He thought any
one who had controlled this was

pedagogues.
Mr. S. S. L'lidler said, tint many
teachers were too thoughtless about
the comfort of the youth entrusted
to their care. Let them go to the
fire aud let them drink water whenever
ihf-v desire. He thought this i
. I
was best though it did create noise, j
Mr. C ite told us that in the schools j
o? Knoxville boys were all jwed to i
drink water only at recesses, with !
few exceptions.
Messrs Fitzgerald, 0. D. Seav and i
others made some remarks 011 the j
above subject. Mr. Fitzgerald <x- j
plained how he conducted a news- j
piper in Lis school. He lhaught it j
would be a very good plan to have j
them in all schools.
The Executive Committee read the j

the last Saturday in January. This j
ended one of the most successful |

himself odiiit-d and delighted. Cm e |
