A NORTHERNER'S JUST VIEW
OF PUBLIC EDUCATION I2i
THE SOUTH.
Last week's Outlook, whose editor, Dr,
Lyman Abott, recently attended the Ed
ncational Conference at Winston.contain
ed the following just comments on public
education in the South:
"Doubtless the education ot both blacks
and whites of the poorer class in the
aouth is lamentably deficient. The school
hoasrs are often poor, the teachers ill
educated, the school term too short to ac
compli6h good results, the curriculum ill
aiapted to present needs. But no one
le Is this more keenly or is more ready
to acknowledge and lament it than the
intelligent Southerner; and nowhere is
there a more vigorous, self denvine en
deavor to make improvements in all these
respects than in the Southern States. Left
by the war bankrupt, not only in money
but in educational institutions, wiihout
school houses, school-teachers, a school
system, or bchool experience, the Seuth
rejected the coun.-elsof theirreconcilables
who bad learned nothing and desired .to
perpetuate in ireelotn the conditions
created by slavery, and the counsels of
the pessimists who believed that noth
ing couia De aoue ior. tne colored race
and that it was not worth while trying,
and set itself, with a courage almost if
not quite without a parallel, to the work
of cocial, industrial, and educational re
construction. It began to rebuild its de
vastated towns. and rehabilitate its aban
doned and desolated plantations; to re
construct its entire industrial system on
a new basis ana out ot unpromising ma
tenals; to provide out of .private charity
for its disabled veterans, while paying its
quota or expense entailed by Manorial
taxatis n tor ihe'Federal veterans; to origi
nate and develop manuiactures never be
fore known or even conceived as practi
cable in the bomb; to meet as best it
could the iocreassd demand made by the
results of the war for home missionary
woik aid lor hospitals and orphanages;
and to create m some instances, in others
tore establish, higher inMitutions of learn
ing for the tducatiou of its youth of both
:exei.; A hat it undertook at such a time
the construction of a common-school
system for the primary and secondary
education of all i;s children of both races,
ana mat it divided its school i&nd be
tween them impartially in the proportions
of their need, not f their contributions to
v, deserves a cordial and hearty recogni
tmn from all men. It constitutes a fact
of which Americans have a right to be
roud. If the school houses are often
po r, they were builtout of the poverty
ui me peopie; n ine teacners are some
times incompetent, they are the best that
could be secaiel without a previous svs
tem of instruction; if the school terrrs are
often sbort, they are generally all the
people think they can pay for; if the cur
ricula are sometimes ill constructed, they
were constructed out of inexperience; if
the community has been sometimes in
dined to vacillate between courses of
study tco purely literary and courses of
tudy too purely industrial, the vacilla
tion is shared by other communities both
in the .North and in Jfineland. DesDite
all drawbacks, the fact remains that sub
stantially the same education, in extent
if uot always m quality, has been , pro
vided by the State in all the common
grades of both races."
A Story of Ueneral Pillow.
Exchange.
An interesting story of Gen. Gideon J.
Pillow, of Tennessee, is told by R. S.
Owen, of Brookwood, Ala., who rode
with Wheeler in the Ciyil War. General
Pillow, says Air. Owen, had the reputa
tion of being a gxid officer, and in his
younger days, duiing the Mexican War,
was noted for his splendid personal ap
pearance, especially when on parade.
He was said to be rather pompous in his
manner, so that he was not infreauentlv
alluded to in private conversation as
"Gen. Gideen J. fillow, by !" Oa
one occasion during that war at an in
spection he encountered the derision of a
legimeut of Texas Raugers. Mounted on
maeninceut horse and clothed in. all
the splendor of a new uniform, he was
careering down the Hues when the Ran
gers began to jeer htm: "Whoa! Stop
him! Hold them reins! Whoa!" This
was too much for his philosophy. Haltins
abruptly in front of the regiment, he lift
ed his hand tor sileuce and, rising in his
stirrips, exclaimed: "I am Gen. Gideon
.Pillow! I am an officer aud a man!
And I will be respected!" And then from
away off came auother jeer, followed by
i roar oi iaugbtei all along the line:
'Respect that man! Respect that man!
Respect that ma-a n!"

Topeka Capital.
The 12 year-old son of a Van Buren
street fond parent recently became the
proud possessor of some guinea pigs. A
uay or two alter tne same were selely
corralled in a cage he went about brag
ging of his new acquisition among his
plyamates. Now, it seems these young
sters knew of a "sell" in which guinea
pigs play a prominent part. They started
to "hook" the youugster and caught him
fast and hard.
He felt so bad about it that he started
in turn to "sell" some one else. His
father was the victim.
"Did you know, papa, that if yon hold
a guinea pig by the tail its eyes will drop
out?" "
His father laughed outright.
"Why, whom wonder told you such
stuff, Louis?"
The boys all say that," answered
Louis, sober as a judge, "and it's so, yes,
sir."
"Oh, nonsenEe," said his lather, still
laughing.
" Well, you go to the cage and hold
one up and you'll see."
Just to humor the boy the father went
out. . In a moment be came back looking
well looking just like a man that's been
badly Fold.
"The little rascal got me that time," he
replied to a friend.
"Hut I don't see the point," said the
friend.
"Don't you?"
"No."
"Well, guinea pigs have no tails."

A Yensg Ciirl Aernses II er Re
ereant ovr efa Double Murder.
Raleigh News and Obseryer.
Facts in regard towhat is believed to
have been a foul murder have just come
to ngnt in (jneroKee county.
In December, iSqq, Chas. Mason and
John Sherman, two men who had been
working for the Hisor Lumber Company,
at lellico, in Cherokee county, started
across tbe mountains for their home in
Graham county, with several months
pay in their' pockets. They had - been
drinking freely that day; and as some
weeks had elapsed and no news was re
ceived of them, the supposition was that
they had been frozeu to death, though
there were whispers ot foul play. A short
while afterwards a party from Murphy
were hunting deer in tbe mountains when
their driver discovered the skeletons of
two men. By tbe clothing still clieging
to the bones the deer driver recognized
the missing men. In the clothing only a
small sum of money was found. As it
was the opinion ot all at the time that the
men had lost the iray and had been
frozen to death, the bones were buried,
and now what promises to be the sequel
comes to light.
lhe Murphy correspondent of The
Asheville Gazette gives the following le
cently discovered facts touching the
death of the men:
"Working at the same place with
Mason ana Sherman was a young
man, Chas. Dunboye, who did not bear
the best ot reputations. Under promLe
t marriage he had seduced the young
daughter ot a mountaineer, whose vera
city hand never been doubted. This girl
now states that on tbe day ot tbe disap
pearance of the two men, sha saw Dun
boye, strap a revolver around his waist.
and take lhe trail into the mountains
through which tie two men soon followed.
bhe did not see her lover for several
days, when in a confidential mood and
swearing her to secrecy, he told her that
be had bushwhacked the-men, that in
their drunken condition it was an easy
matter to kill and rob them; that as soon
as matters became quiet he would marry
her and they would nave a good time ou
the noney.
"Nearly a year followed anil tha mys
tery of the death of the two men was
fading from the winds all except the par
ties directly concerned and the loved ones
at home, when Dunboye, becoming tired
of the girl, deserted her, but not till he
had told her that he would serve her as
the twa men whom he had murdered if
she told about the matter. After he deserted
her and failing to make good his promise
to maary her and about to become a
mother, she went before a magistrate and
made affidavit as to the above. The
bones were exhumed and after a careful
examination what was thought to be bul
let roarKs were found on them. Warants
weie taken out for the younr man urxn
circumstantial evidence and the girl's
sworn testimony, but he had fled and up
to the present has not been aoDDrehended.
though it is though that he. is in hiding
in some of the almost inaccessible moun
tains near the Tennessee line."

ITCH IS TORTURE.
Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in-
nammation ; little pustular eruptions form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off ; sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fissured. Kczema in any
form is a tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable ; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO, ATLANTA, U,
a a
OF
TRUSTS.
Saturday Evening Post.
In the past ten years we have been in
dustriously organizing trusts. In tbe next
decade we shall be testing their strength.
A few years ago the line between pub
lic and private management of industries
was sharply dehoed. 1 he private Indus
try De loo area to an individual owner, or
to a small group of cwners associated in
a fiim of corporation. It was an anxiom
that for a business to be successful it
must be "under the master's eye." Gov
ernment management was condemned
by the niaxium that "what is everybody's
business- is nobody s business. An in
dividual voter, it was said, had not
enough interest in public affairs to make
him keep his servants up to their work.
The chief teature of trust development
has been the tendency to wipe out this
distinction. The typical irusi is a (Hate
in itself, with the characteristics that
were formerly held to condemn the State
management of industries. .It spreads
over as much ground as a government,
Its operations are as far as a government s
trom the master's eye, and it may have as
many citizens as some kingdoms.
lhe most successful examples of con-
concentrated control of industries the
Standard Oil company and the Carnegie
Bteel company haye been concentrated
in ownership as well as management.
The Standard Oil Company has been
owned almost entirely by half a dozen
men, and very largely by one person.
lhe controlling majority interest ia the
Carnegie Steel Company has been owned
until recently by a single man. Thus
these great organizations have combined
the advantages of vast operations and of
the vigilance of the individual owner:
tsut how would it be if. as has been
foreshadowed, all the railroads of the
United States, with perhaps two million
stockholders, should be united? vVe
should have there a genuine test of tbe
solidity of "ihe trust system. It is hard
to see in what respect such a combination
would retain any ot the advantages that
used to be claimed for private as opposed
to public management. The influence
of the individual rtockholder on the pro
ceedings cf the officials would be as small
as that of an individul voter upon the
proceedings of a man in the public ser
vice. Indeed, the corporate form of or
ganization is much less satisfactorily
adapted to reflecting the will of vast num
bers of stockholders scattered oyer im-.
niense distances than is the organization
of our Government to reflecting the will
of the citizens. The Roman Republic broke
down through the imperfection of is
election macninery. The citizens of the
province could not vote unless they went
to Rome and gathered in one place,and so
the elections were left, in practice, to be
decided by the Roman mob.
lhe position of a great corporation, with
its scatteied stockholders, is precisely
imiliar. There are no representative
fiom localities; each stockholder must go
in person to tbe headquarters of the Co m -pany
on the day ot the annual meeting, if
he wishes to make his influence count.
True, he cau send a proxy, but the collec
tion of masses of proxies in the hands of
the men on. the inside of the management
is tne exact couaterpart ot the Kaaian
mob. It forms a force against which, as
a rule, it is useless for auy outside at ck
holder to contend.
The great life insurance companies are
in theory purely mutual. Every policy
holder has aright 10 yote, and run for
president of the company, if he wishes.
But how many giye their proxies
with any intelligent purpose of having
them used in a certain way, rather than
m indolent response to the request of the
management?
When the present boom is over aud the
efficiency of the trusts is put to a genuine
test, one of two things may happen.
Jiiither the industries controlled by thee
combinations may be well managed, in
which case tuere will be a general feeling
that the old arguments against public

A GRAND OLD MAX.
Atlanta Journal.
The Philadelphia Press has for its edi
tor the postmaster general, and is there
fore regarded as the foremost organ of the
Aictumey adminstrauon.
The Press displays so much chagrin
over the attempt . to buy over General
Wade Hampton to the McLaurin move
ment as to make natural the inference
that the miscarriage of this scheme caused
deep regret in administration circles.
General Hampton indignantly rejected
the tender ot the Columbia postmaster-
ship because it came from a source and
in a way that caused him to consider it
as a Republican bid for his influence. The
fres-?, commenting upon his conduct in
this matter, says that General Hampton
"plainly prefres the manners and meth
ods of Senator Tillman to those of Senator
McLaurin, or bigotry to progress."
This sneer provokes from the Philadel
phia Record the following admirable trib
ute to the old hero.
"Was it bad manners in General
nampion, wno has an honored name in
South Carolina, to utter in plain En
glish his righteous indignation ever an
attempt to put him to base political uses
with the bribe ot an office? Or should be
have humbly accepted the office with
thanks to the giver and haye proceeded
to gratefully perform the task expected of
him in spite ol his political opinions?
uur contemporary makes the transaction
infinitely worse when it says: 'As Gen
eral Hampton is old and in straightened
circumstances, it was probably thought
such an offer would be acceptable.' Just
so. It was thought that, like S lakes
peare s poor apothecary, his poverty, if
not his will, would consent, and that he
would jump at the offer. But McLaurin
and his principals haye found that the
veteran is not so much crushed by pover
ty as to accept a bribe for abandoning his
principles or to lail in resecting an insult
to nis integrity.
"With honest pride General Hampton
said: 'The people of South Carolina
should know by this timet haC I am not for
sale and that I never shall be.
If McLaurin shall display no better
judgement in his other efforts to build up
a wnite man s uepublican pariv in the
south than he did in the Hampton inci
dent he will make himself a laughingstock
as well as a complete failure.

Battle Creek, Mich., Dispatch.
The General Conference of Adventists
which closed here to-day brought out the
fact that the Adyentists hold that the
world is corning to an end in thi?. the first
year of the twentieth century. Hundreds
of Adventists are possessed of more or
less fear and trembling, for even the most
pious has an awe of the day when the
earth shall cease to exist.

A rural correspondent of the Ports
mouth, New Hampshire, Times sent to his
paper this intelligible account of a local
episode:
"A man killed a dog belonging to an
other man. The son of the man whose
dog was killed proceeded to whip the
man who killed the dog of the man he
was the son of. Tha man, who was the
son of the man whose dog was killed,
was arrested on complaint of the man
who was assaulted by the son of the man
whose dog the man who was assaulted
had killed.
This has suggested the more familiar
but equally brilliant remark of the young
man whose temporary condition required
the services of a cab driver. Leaning
back on the cushions, he sighed and
said:
"How much pleasanter it is to be riding
in a cab, thinking how much p'easanter
it is to be riding in a cab than it is to walk,
than it ii to walk, thinking how much
pleasanter it is to be riding in a cab than
it is to walk."
Mr. W. J. Baxter, of North Brook. N.
C, says he suffered with piles for fifteen
years. He tried many remedies with no
results until he used DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve and that quickly cured him.
