THE NEWS AND HERALD. WINNSDORO, 8. 0. 'XUXSDAY, Octobor 7, ' f 18'19, iR. MrMANS YPA 173 o tion. 8-N&. H. REYXOLDS. ANSoUATH EDITOR. TiHE ARTI(LE, "Manners In Merry England," gives somei useful h04its as -to the p1onunciatiol of lridish proper WnEN GnANT reached San Frnicis 00 lie had never seen a teclphone, nlevel' heard a phonograph and never witniessed Pinafore. This is a good illustratIon of how rapidly the world moves nowadays. TuE UITE INIIANS have risen in arms, and at last accoutt; they liad killed Major 'I'hornburg and peind up about two hundred Federal sol diors in a very disadvantacgous locali ty. All the troops in Wyoming Ter Aitory were hastening to the front, with very doubtful prospects of reaching the beleaguered men in time to saveb them. A general wat is threatened. THu 01f) Legislature passed what wits intended to be a bomb-proof law against the use of iloney inl elections; und the Denocrats tend1ily hoped that the 1epublican game had been scotch ed. lint where there's a will there's a Way, and the Republican committee have oll'ered a preiuiim to the towin Ship ink eachl county that Casts the heaviest vote for Foster. This is whipping thie devil rouid the stump with a vengealnce. Better Schools. While tle public schools in the State Ure accomplishing good, they cannot yet meet fully the requireients and expectations of tle people. The theory s adiriiable, based as it is upon the experience of years, but i. cannot be carried into comphiltu prie tice fhr want of' money. The two mill tax is insuffleient to keep open i sufilcient number- of schools ill each district for a suflcieont length of time each year. With more money, this can be accomplished. PeoplU slwak of the State's extravaginlice inl flhe mat ter of the tax, whien in reality the tax is coimparathily a mealgr'e pitfan1c. Massachusetts raises, in one way or another, a fouir ill tax, amouliting (to twenty-one dollars a year for every child within the scholastie age. ()ther 8tates raise fifteeni, fourteen'(, twelve, to'1, dollar a ionthi, l'lging down vards; until South Carolina is1 reached vith tile snall su1m of' about it dollar and a half. It is absurd to talk about glviig a child a good education for a dollar and a half a year, as (lie cost of tuition is more thani a dollar a month. It can easily be seen that some chil dren must. be deprived of eduIcatiomial facilities, and others cln go only tiree or four mouths. Tho fund1 must be increased. No one exp1ets South Carolina to do as mtceh as New York or Massachusetts or' oilher weatlthy States, but she cani do muore than she now do0es. Th'le Idercase should be by local taxation. Charleston anmd Winns boro have a local tax. and othier towns are ready to petitioni foi it.. Why should not country sehool (listricts also ap~ply for at re-enctment. of the old1 law with the restrict ion that only pr'operty holders shall vote? The difficulty was that voters who paid1 no tax wVerd enabled to heap11 upi taxes on property. Bly restrieflig the vote to thme property hiolders, thli~s objetion is remnovecd. Most of' the districts paid( a local tak even under01 Rladical rule wh'len school moneys were scjitanm 'dered. They can do so now whien they get back all their money10, andl when the Staite taux is but hlflt what. it. used to be. Again, in Fairfield, a feunce tax of a mill and a half was levied last year, which will not agin be required. Why not pay somiethinag miore for schools? We are pleased to note a general desire for bet ter schiools over the whole (cunity, especially in Monticello and hFensterville. Why do nlot the prope~)rty holders apply to the Legislat ure for pornmissioni to levy a smaiill local taix? Sneh a law would not compe)l any such tax, but would merely give the peop1)1 a chaince to t ry the expecrimlent. It could be abandon ed if not satisfactory. At p~resenit, no district can raise additional fundios even If it wishes. We believe that a lawv can be passed 80 fr'amed1 as to prevent any burden, and yet to per mit a benefit. Pairents, shall your children be educated? If so, local taxation is the cheapest way to do it. A mill on the dollar is only one dollar on1 the thousand, and that mill w'lhl go a great way toward1s Improving the schools. And the better the schjools, the more valuable (does p)roperty be come. What townships will make the move ? The "Race for All" in N~ew York. For politicaleconfusion commend is to New York City. Tammuany e md its Anti have been Iudulging In a pire. Ililnary battle In the courts over the. Iispeetois of elections, who are choseni by the police board. The police board is required by law to consist of two Democrats and two Republicans. Re cenitly Mayor Cooper removed the two Democrats, wvho belonged to Tam-. 3nany, appointing MoLeant and Morri son, Robinson Demiocrais, to succeed them. The State law si'ys there shall be at each of the thousand city pro ehiets fouri inspectors of elections, tw o representing the Democratic, and two the Reputblcan ticket. It further pnore provides that the inspectors of the minoi'ty party in the city shall b)e chosen solely by thb members of their party in the police3 board. It strange. ly 9.mits to provido that the majority 1nspletors shall be chosen 80101ly by tfhie eatmnlseloners ,of their party. Iiiissioners couitd name. wh1onm they pleaised, Of* their own party, hast claim ed also Che right to have a volce in solcvting tho DemIocratio inspectors. McLean and Morrison noinainted a list of Robinsont Democrats, which tho Repliblicanls ecflused to confirm, on the ground that Tatmiany wits the regular Denoct'sic organ1iti ltlonl. Their real imtotive wvas that Ttiiay is helping the ikepublicnti candidite. This would not give llobinsoni any representation. The deadlock con tinued Several days inl the board. In the meaniie Tammany went beflore Judge Weslbrook and obtained i de ceCe thlat on5e Tammany111111%, connissionaer had been illegally removed anld was entisied to sit on the board. This would hive secured i majorlty of the board Ior (te Repiblicans and Tam tany. Anothber cotplication arose froml the provision of' thie law that the(' inspectors should be chosen before the first of October; and by many it was urged .hat, unless the deadlock was broken before that t ine Ite whole city would be disfranichised at the coming election. In this emergency, Governtor ]Robinsons called at special termau of three Superior judges, who summarily overruled Westbrook. pro hibited (te Tinmanmy commissioner frion attempting to oust. Isis successor, and decided that inspectors can be ip pointed a fler Ilie 1st instant., fn the ieantitne tle board had appoinited a list of'inspectors, two Riepublicans and one anti-Taimany, leaving one vacant cy at t3acl precinict. Tammanuy then applied to t(e Sipreme Court for a l itnmdn.u.', at d that Court has de creed that the Democratic pairty its a whole, without, referenice to facliolts, Iust. be considere(l, aud that as tthe ant i-Timmany party have one inlspec tor (le other Must. be given to Tam tansty. This is a blow to 1obinsot, leavintg his inspector In a minority oi each precinct board inl t(e citv. Dur ing the deadlock some amuui1emnent was caused by Commissioner McLean pro posing as list ot' inspectors includinsg such names as Augustus Schell, Au gust Ilehnouit., David Dudlev Field and other dignitaries of the party.

CLARRI, ROLE AGENT. 400 BROADWAY, NEW YORK, The distinctive features of this spool cotton are that it is made from thle very finest SE A ISL AND COT TON. It is finished soft as the eotton from, which it is made; it has no waxing or artificial finish to deceive the eyes; it isi the strongest, smoothest and most elastic sowing thread in the market; for machine sewing it has no equal; it is wound on WRHI TE SP OO L 8. The B~laock is the most perfect JET BLACK ever p roduced in spool cotton, being dyed by a system patented by ourselves. Th colors are dyed by the NEW ANILINE PROQESS rendering them so perfect and brilliant that dress-makers everywhere use them Instead of sowing silks. A Ghold Medal wvas awarded this spool cotton at Paris, 1878, for "great strength" and "general excellence" being the high eat award given for spool cotton.
