There are three way* of deallnt with an enemy—Ignore him, crnab him, make t- friend of him. tt po* Ignore him he la atlll your enemy: If you cruah him you have removed ore enemy hut all his friends be come your enemies; if you make a friend of him your enemy vanishes, yon gain a strong friend and all hit friends are yours. Beyond question the wisest way to der>) with a» eee> any is to win him, i' yon ana. The first step towards the winalag of enemy is to study him with a view to finding some good in him. Hir ing found it cultivate It. You may soon find some ekmerts of friendli ness—may find' indeed that your enemy was your friend and you did'nt know it. There rre three phases of edth* Cations) thought and activity which the people of the South generrJly, appear to regard as hostile to their best interests. They are compulsory educr/ion. local taxation and the education of the negro. There is no Southern Str-te which has a compulsory education law; a grer.‘ majority of school districts a local tax. It tr certainly the* most effective tax ^or locrl purposes. If | the local purposes are good the tax ' ta good and will minister to the ' public welfare—Is a friend to the people. So we come to the reel point. Is the education of the negro popula tion of the South hostile or friendly to. the best Interests oft he Sooth?
