' Wonder if the world Is revolving around Atlanta."?Augusta Herald. No Atlanta is revolving around tin world. A newsboy in Augusta stole some copies of the Chronicle and was sent to the chaingaiig for four months. It he had stolen a copy of The Gaily Mail tney probably would have sent him to the chaingaiig for life.?People's Advocate (Anderson.) A ore likely to au insane asylum It is with regret that we chronicle the serious illness of Maj. Chailes II. Smith, who has heeu writing under the name of " Hill Arp" for mailt years. A true Southern gentleman he is?one of that o'd school now becoming si scarce. The Saluda Standard possesses ? curiosity in the shape of the only paper cutter that has ever been in n Saluda printing ollicu. When they get their railroad built to Greenwood it o her Cargile should run excursions so outsiders can view it.?Aiken Jour iiui aim ivevirw. Now what has Cargile over done to the editor of the Review? THE TOBACCO TICUST Affords another evidence of the tremendous power wielded Ly these inimeiice combinations. They regard not the principles of justice nor the dependence of the weak. They seem to have one object in view and that is to oppress in order to (ill their coffers w ith ill-gotten gain at the expense of those who have not the power to resist tiieir unholy exactions. The farmers in the J?astern part of our State for the last two or three yours did well ill the raising of tobae eo as a money crop and especially last year when lltete was competition in the sale and purchase of the product. The success of the farmers last year in the raising of tobacco induced parties ii> other sections ot the State to euidark oil a limited scale, in I lie business of tobacco raising, but to the disappoiiilinent of one and all, this Trust (mines in and says you shall not reap a wholesome profit on your labor "we have the power and we will reap the benefit of your toil." Now help yourselves if you can. So what promised to lie ft profitable Midustry twelve mouths ago is now a failure. It is a lamentable fact tout these combinations of capital are on the increase and the government has failed so far to effectually prevent this oppressive money power. There should be, there must bo a remedy, if the powers that be were disposed to provide it and execute it. Important Change In I'roc deliveries.

Stat-alios sli >\v that in ri'-prct i to the illiteracy in this state in 10111pat i-on wit h that of the oilier states,' she does not occupy an envirable po-i sitioii, and hi respect to the amount expended for the education of In r' youths she stands next to last oil the lists ot stales, Alabama alone beiii}; I Ui lit .O lists* The state of Massachusetts expends for the education of every youiiK until ! within her borders, nine times us much | as Soutli Carolina does. These two, states have long been rivals, and in | da>s gone by we ma,died her almost ] inalcliless Webster with our llayne. and Calhoun, but now, however hard it may be, wv must acknowledge that our rival has outstripped lis, and will ; continue to do so until onr state awakes from its lithurgy and improves its education il s\stem. Someone has said," I p a free govern-' meiit like our the government t ail only J b? perpetuated and advanced lo that' extent that the average intelligence of J the community can solve the arising problems. The only discovered ado*! quale means of universal education is the free public schools, supported bv taxation and open to all, regardless of condition or fortune, llere is the only hope of truiuing lor that social and political service which a free government demands." What is the average intelligence of j our communities)' ('crtainly it cannot he very high when one out ol every luii yo?> g w bile mew in the st.it.' can not read or write his own name. That fact vs appnthhg, but true neverthe less ffarlield once said that the r.*al power of a state tests upon the intelligence and virtue ol its citizens. The standard of the intelligence and virtue of the masses of our citizens must be raised by the puli'ic schools. In order for this to be accomplished, in our ooinioti, we must have three tilings. (I) compulsory education, ( .') light hut thorough work and (ft) better salaries for country teachers. The subject of compulsory education is one thai has been discussed much of late, but it is one that wr as students of the economic condition of our stale should never cease discussing until , [in* legisiuaire parses a law righting I this wrcii^' We do not mean bv coin- ' pulsnry tducition tli.it all childn u ' should be compelled to attend m-Iii id ] lor nine months in. the year, hut i| 1 does seem just that the State of Smith j Carolina should have the right to ile- j inand that its future citizens he sent j to school for six mouths in each year while th?y are between the .ifi-s oi nine and fouiteen They are tin n In ; the formalive period and their foturi worth to the state depends to a ureal extent on their tiuiuing then. ()l j course there w mid he exceptional; cases to provule lor. hut in dealing with a question of such \iial importance to the ^r.'al uia-ses ot cit ze i>, we should always hear ill iiiniil the. maxiin "The gnnteM goal for the! greatest number."

There are t hrty two iia1 s in the union has ing a compulsory dio at I ii law, and in eveiy one ol the ii mere is found little v.olatlou ol Lite la v and it is growing more pop ilar veaily. But we are cnttfron'od with the old, ( 'line-worn argument that in thiseouiiL y man is I ree and can do as lie pleases. As I?r. Wi son recently said, "We need no more f reedom, but tiin *ss for i "reedoin."
