Mr. Editor : In view of our prosperity and good government, it is strange that the con? dition of our country free schools is to-day less effective than it was in Radical times. l? it proper that our country children should be deprived of their mest valuable legacy, and their parents do nothing to advance the cause of education? Country comrades, remember what Eastman says : "Education is the golden key that unlocks the door of success." Justice demands that the condition of our country free schools be improved. Our town brethren have good schools where their children are taught by effioieut and educated teachers. Why not we the same? You may say they have the lion's share of the school funds. Well, that is partly true. But does that re? quire us to follow cur old rut, sending our children to the free schools ia our uidst where they learn mischief more than anything else? Why are these schools so useless? Simply because they arc taught by uneducated teachers. There is not enough money appro? priated to iuduce competent and experienced teachers to take our schools. They receive only twenty or thirty dollars per month and then have to discount their checks at 10 per cent. Who having a good education wiil work for that salary ? If he does he wi-l not half attend to his business and wiil take for his motto, "half pay half work." Can he be blamed? Of course not. If our country schools remain ia the condition they are now in, I must say it would be better to stop them altogether, because they are not half patron? ized. In almost every neighborhood our progressive farmers have private schools and at the same time pay their school tas. Is that right? Must we lie low and be imposed upon ia that iniquitous manner, without investigating the matter. But we poor coun? try crackers were horn to be imposed upon. It is oar uature,)tberefore we will have to se? crete ourselves in some secluded nook aud lament over our unhappy condition.- Dou't trouble with these farces in our midst. Either let them alone or turo them into private schools as some have done. Then you will be doing justice to your children ; but you will not if you continue to look on with stolid indifference. If the law makers of South Carolina do not better our condition it is left for U3 to do so ourselves. We cannot remain idle and see our children grow up iu igno rance. I am certain that every countryman in Sumter Connty will cometo tbs conclusion I have : that as the schools are now run they are a disgrace to the cause of education. They are an imposition upon us. If any one denies it I would like for him to give his reajoos in your columns. GlLLAUME.
