CAMPAIGN MEETING AT LOVEMGS, Cherokee Candidates Speak to the Dear People. GOOD SPEECHES MADE. Although the Meeting Wag an Impromptu One there Wait a I^arge Crowd or Both CandidateH and Citizen*, and Everybody .Seemed to Enjoy ThemitelveH. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Near Btevy, July 28.—The im promptu meeting at Love Springs the 25 inst., was very hugely attended and was quite enjoyable to all those who love to meet with friends and form more pleasant associations. A good many good humored candidates were present but not all that we can boast of in Cherokee county, by any means. Those present put in good time in good earnest work among our people. A good many speeches were made, and we must say some of them were fine too—none out of place—all did credit to themselves. We cull.this an impromptu meet ing because none of the good people about in this community had ever been consulted for a moment as to the propriety of such a meeting—no, not even the proprietor himself had been notified; therefore if anj of our friends who came any distance to he with us were in any way surprised the blame must riot be thrown upon the good people up here indiscrimi nately, but it must rest on some fel low unknown to us who had some personal motives in view which they did not wish a general neigiiborhood to understand. We were very much pleased to note the good humor and cheerfulness among the candidates ail ihe while, arid we are very hopeful that this spirit of good humor and cheerfulness will continue with all throughout the entire campaign; certainly we will not support any who condesc* i d to low ennuendoes or dirty mud sling ing. no matter how brilliant t he intel lect or well and able the qualifica tions otherwise. A very interesting baseball game was played in the afternoon by the cotton mill team of Gaffney and Love Springs team. The game was won by the Love Springs team with last inning in favor of Love Springs. We regret to learn that some of the Gaffney boys behaved very unhecom ingly. Doubtless ihe reason was too much' fussX ” Usually the very best behavior characterizes the Love Springs team, and wo are proud that it does. In the speeches made by our would-be office holders much was said by some of them on the subject of education, more especiaiiy on the negro phase,which seems will have to undergo some amendment. We saw no well-dHi icd practical plan in any of the arguments advanced; never theless, we believe a more satisfac tory one will have to be brought about and tbat it is possible to do so. As to him ever becoming a formidable factor in Hie politics of tbe South or North, educational or uneuui ational, this will never be; because no Cauca sian, English or American,that has a spark of Washington's spirit or that matchless English statesman’s spirit, Mr. Gladstone will ever entrust so precious a boon to a thick skulled Cully; no «'r, this grandest and weal thiest nation, ’final c'ally, must always for its support rest upon the shoulders of the Caucasian race, i he county reperinteudent of educa tionin his speech threw out some light on the management of the schools in the several di-tricts by the trusties along with himself; and amoi g other things touched on th^ employment of teachers or if you prefer it, appointment of teachers He took this occasion to denounce in unmistakable terms the present titate plan, as he said, of compelling the superintendent of education to give certificates or authority to teach in tiie public schools to any who might hold u diploma from any of the recog nized colleges of the Stale. In this he su'd in- had no option, but must grant them privilege to teach, not withstanding the fact that many of them are not competent. This state of things needs redress and we simply refer to a plain, easy, democratic way out of ail such muddles, if the people can be respected in their rights, that is, let the patrons of the several schools meet at their school houses and elect teachers; this plan would leave Jess ground for complaint against the superintendent of the county, and in many instances, if not in al,1 in bringing a warmer sup port around the teacher. But says someone, somebody would be elected who holds an expired certificate and who failed to attend the teacher's institute. To this statement we simply ask for Information, if such ateacher who may have a record for having taught fifteen or twenty years would be likely to be less qualified to reason ably do good work than the class of teachers referred to in our superin tendent’s address. We certainly thick common sense would say “not so by any means.” But the gods must have their way. ! We much regret to have to report the death of another sweet little boy only a few years old. This was a little son of Mr. and Mrs Dan Web ber, of Macedonia. We extend to them in their bereavement our deepest sympathy The burial took place on the 19th inst., at Mac-do nia As we write today a gentle ano timely rain is falling and our crops are all worked and are certain!* fine Mr Book ter Ray, a proffessor of vocal music, has just been employed at Macedonia a term of teo days to teach our young folks toeing Mr Ray is well up in the science and is a most pleasant, smooth singer, who has been successful in former schools, and we hope that the same det'r-e of success will be met with in our com munity. l u i> Look I'leiiHHot, Please.
