A teacher asked me not long

upon the teacher than the bov.

supper about midnight, or dis
guised themselves and went to
a circus he never wanted to
know anything about it. A
school boy is just like a horse-
convince him that, you are his
friend and you can manage
him. The teacher must have
some dignity of character as
well as will power. I know one
who went to sleep every day in
his chair and a boy would slip
out and throw a rook up and
run back to his seat before it
came down on the roof of the
house and waked him up. He
never did try to find out
who threw that rock, for he felt
ashamed of himself But about
whipping. Most everybody
wants a bad boy whipped that
is, if he is somebody else's boy
You may kick anybody's dog
but mv dog.. If I was a teacher
now I wouldn't whip at all ; but
thirty years ago I would have
threshed the bad boys right and
left. As 'we grow older we
grow kinder. My first boys got
pretty much all the whipping,
and I can now recall some
pretty hard ones that were not
deserved, and it grieves me
still that 1 did not try a more
loving treatment. I whipped
two of them once for stealing
some young mocking birds
from a nest in a nabor's orch
ard. He said they stole them,
and I whipped them bad
though they declared their in
nocence, and it turned out af.
terwards that he was mistaken
iu the boys, and 1 never liked
that man any more. The better
man the father is the less the
whipping he will have to do
and so the better man the
teacher is the less he will have
to do. A weight of good solid
character is of more conae
quence to him than superior
scholarship. It takes good
generalship in the schoolroom
just like it does in the army-
Some men are born to com
mand, and some are not. If a
bad boy has no respect for his
teacher the teacher Will have
to whip him or expel him to
enforce obedience. It is a bad
sign when the teach,er has to
walk around with his switch or
his ferrule in hid " hand and
keep it in threatening proximi
ty. Solomon enjoyed the liber
al use of the rod upon children
and Solomon was a wise man;
but a man who has a thousand
children, and don't know them
when he sees them, is a poor
iudge of the parental relation.
Of course such children nave to
be . raised . by! machinery, for
they have neither precept nor
example. A close, loving com
paniouship of a father with his
hildren ia their best safeguard,
and lasts the longest. The first
born do not get a full share of
this, for the young lather is ab
sorbed in business and full of
worldly ambition, and leaves
everything at home to be man
aged by the mother. As he grows
older he has more sense and be
comes mfTre thoughtful about
the future of his children. He
attaches less importance to
wealth or fame and becomes
more concerned about domestic
peace and the good conduct of
those who are either to bless or
to curse his old age. , But about
whipping In school. . The time
was when there was flogging in
the navy, but th.it has been
aoolisnea by law, and tnis re
form has stood the test Of time
and experience, lime was
when the whipping-post was in
every jail yard in Georgia.
When I was a very little boy I
peeped through the crack of the
fence and saw the sheriff whip
a man for stealing a hog. It
scared me and I ran away. . In
that day it was considered
necessary to whip the bad boys
at school. Indeed, the boys ex
pected it and took their chances
at being caught in their devil
ment. It was a kind of bar
gain au implied contract be
tween the boy and the teacher.
You catch me and you may
whip me. It was like the old
Mosaic law, 'An eye tor an eye
and a tooth for a tooth ;' but in
these times we are trying to
elevate the toys to a higher
plane to stimulate their pride,
their self-respect, their ense of
honor and propriety. With
some teachecs this will succeed,
with some it will lail for rea
son's already given. As Sam
Jones says, some are not fitten
to teach, and are not fitten to
get fitten. !Now, the idea of
fixing an age limit, and to say
that a boy must not.be whipped
after he is ten years old, i3 not
founded in reason.. Some boys
over ten deserve more than
others under ten. Did you
never hire a horse from the
staoie and near tne owner say.
'Now, don't touch him with the
whip, for he is high-strung and
won't stand it' Just so it
wim ooys. jot long ago 1
heard a mother say : 'I never
had to putfish Clarence. He
was always good and thought ful
and obedient; but Will is
just running over with mis
chief all the time. He keeps
me alarmed for fear he will get
into trouble. The boy can't
help it, for it is his nature.'
While it would almost break
one boy's heart to whip him,
you can maul away on another
just like he was a steer and
with as little effort As parents
know the difference in their
children, so should the teachers
learn the difference in their
pupils, and govern them ac
cordingly. I suppose that these
public schools that are run like
machinery must have uniform
rules that fit all alike, the bad
and the good, and so the ques
tion still comes back unanswer
ed ought corporal punishment
in the public schools be abol
ished, and to this I answer
emphatically, I don't know. It
is like the old question that we
used to debate : 'Should capi ¬
tal punishment be abolished.
That has never been settled yet,
and what capital punishment is
to a man a good whipping is to
a boy. It almost kills him. It
hurts mighty bad. 1 went to
one teacher whose whippings
did me no good, for he whipped
mad and the madder he was
the harder lie whipped.
One day he whipped me for
ringing the bell when I didn't
ring it. I had a big boil just

This is .the veriest twaddle

The Progressive Farmer says:
lIt is worthy of remark that, in a

formed that six of the seven had
lost their arms m the cotton gin,
while one met with his loss ' at the

kind. I
If any one doubts this let
him look at the man's record
since the war. In 1868 he ran
for Congress twice. Twice in
one year is pretty fair for a
plain farmer averse to politics
and hannv onlv when watch-
x t m m , -
ine his growing crops: In lbh.i
he showed his love for his
crops- by staying in Washing
ton City; and so in 1870, when
he eased the bitterness of his
erief at his absence from those
same crops by another race for
Congress. But that was not a
c-obd vear for Radicals, and so
Dockery was beaten, and in 1871
he went back to his beloved
crops. And then the Demo
crats changed the make-up of
hia district so that he had no
showing for Congress any more
But for this little circumstance
he would have been running
for Congress .every two years
from that dav to this. Not to
be idle, however, in 187G!.e
was a candidate for Elector
from the State at large and
was defeated. In 1882, when !
by accident as it were, there
was a Congressman from the
State at Large, and the election
coming on in an off-year, he
made the race and, as we all
know, was beaten. Since then
there has been no opening for
him for Congress, his district
beine overwhelmingly Demo
cratic, and so, having run down
on his farm, he now seeks to
be Governor..
And this is the man who 10
parading the State as the war
mer's friend! We know just
the kind of farmer he is. There
is at least one of the sort in ev
ery neighborhood in the State,
as the commission merchants
know to their cost. They farm
on supplies and advances from
commission merchants, and
make cotton and buy corn and
work poor mules. This sort of
farmers "know it all, but
somehow their crops don't pan
out well. They can tell a poor
neighbor who drops in of a Sun
day evening just all about it,
but that same poor neighbor,
who know nothing about scien
tific farming, but plants right
straight along in the o Id way,
will sell twice as much cotton
to the acre.
You will hear a "farmer"
like Colonel Dockery, ex-me
ber of Congress, almost a
day now calculating how much
cotton he -will make. There
are so many hills, says he, in
an acre, so many stalks to the
hill, so many matured bolls to
the stalk, "certain " so manv
bolls to the pound, and 400
pounds to the bale, and the re-
from one to
of two bales to the acre and
when it Is all picked out the
average will be about 12"
pounds of lint to the acre!
That's the kind of farmer Col
onel Dockery is. His ali'ect
eply shabby dress and appar
ent want 01- attention to his
person do not prove him to be
a farmer by any means. If
this sort of thing proves any
thing at all it is the demagogu
ery 01 the man or the want of
soap and water.
Jtiut what a low estimate he
puts upon the sense of the peo
ple 10 suppose that such things
as these will win their esteem
and regard! They may catch
negro votes, but they wiil nev
er catch white votes. Negroes
may thinK a man is nearer
their level because he is slov
enly in his dress and regardless
of the decencies of life, but
white men see no special virt
ue in a dirty shirt when a clean
one can be conveniently had,
or in dirty hands hands when
soap and water is convenient.
We venture to say, without the
slighest fear of successful con
tradiction, that Colonel Dock
ery has not hoed a dozen rows
of corn or chopped out a dozen
rows of cotton since he was
twenty-one years old.

We are poor and havo made no
money, notwithstanding the
twenty-three year of honest toil
and hard labor of the past. We
axe crushed with poverty,
which is due in large measure
to the outrageous systam of tho
Republican party a system
waich'they refused to modify
or change, although it is abso
lutely destroying the people of
the South. We assert that this
system called by Colonel Dock
ery "wise and beneficent,
pursued so persistently by the
Republican party, exacting as
it does-, high taxes unneces
sarily from the people, is a
tyranny and a despotic use of
power. It has been particularly
hurtful to the South ever since
the war but what is good for
us the Republican party never
cares to consider or regard.
We insist that the Republi
can party ough not to have im
posed such heavy taxes on the
people of the South in our
i.nw in force assessing a tax or
providing for the collection of
