1j. It. AUIL D1iTOR. The Anderson Mail publishes some figures on educational matters in An derson county in which it appears that the increase in the at tendance of white children this year over last year was 614, while the negroes increased in at tendance during the same time 112-5. and the total number of white children in the county is more than 2.O) more than the negroes. This moves the 'ail to remark: We need a compulsory edu,ation law The opponents of compulsor y education have always defended their position on account of the negro question. They have been told that it would not affeet the negroes. for the negroes were send ing their chi!dren to school while the white people were not sending theirs. and now tine oflicial ligures prove this claim. The negroes were doing eve'ything in their power to give their children an education, and that they are outstrip ping the white'i is shown by the large inerease in the number of negro ch tdren in the public scloos as compared with tie white children. The negroes are makmng the most et their opportunities. the white pel!e are neglecting theirs. This means that we have a very difh cult problem ahead of us, and the oily way on earth to solve it is by means of compulsory education. The figures for Newberiyr are nt (Ilite so bad hecause thel negro sch'o! nopulation seeis to be aboit doulle the white school population. Iflowev,,. the figures which we printed sonmt tinwit, ago clearly show that the negro is more alive to the iniportance of education than the wv hite roan, anld as we have said oil so nany occasions, we must not concernII ou1rselves about, Ile negr. Ife is getting all the (Aucation he would get under a compulsory law while many of our own people are uttterly inditfer ent to the welfare of their own chil dren, or seem to be.

C., Oct. 8th, 4.30 p. m. - There was much important testimony on the side of the defense adduced this morning. Mr. Cole. L. Blease, who was with Tillman when he made the threat to shock South Carolina with the tragedy of Gonzales' death, which was testified to by Adams, made a modification in ihe testimony by saying that Tillman said he would enact the tragedy in case Gonzales continued in his threats. Mr. Blease denied that Tillman carried a pistol during the campaign, b,t ad mitted that he had one at the Columbia meeting. Had one given to him by Mr. B!ease and it was given to him be kAUSe Tillman expected Gonzales to at :ack him that night. MRS. M. A. EVANS. %New berry, testified that the day of the shooting she heard two men in the *lay of the Senate discussing the dif e'llenes between Tillman and Gonzales. and from what she heard them say she expected a diticulty. She was not al lowed to tell who the men were. if she kr.ew them, or what they said. She walked on from the Stzite hc.:se .ed when below the transfer st: . tIe" Gollza'es' llis dma~~ tattd and the expression of . was, as it appeare(d to her. as thing tragical was soin t. .oon after she passed G:. - lward the shot, threw up her h:n'. . mradt- an exclamation which. :-we7. she was not allowed to say what ws.

Gnizales said he had made Tillman .how the white feather and would do so again. Richard Ilol1enback, the next witnelsS, corrob rated this testitnony an told w hat he saw of the actual shooting.
