Do jroo tak* the Headlight?
If not. why not?
The Graded School.
Mr. Headlight:
Yesterday afternoon while walk
ing out in a peaceable and unof
fending way. I waa approached by
three persons, whoip I havo here
tofore considered my friends, and
who asked me if I waa in favor of
Tub Gbjldsd School. I know
that for many ages women have
been classed with children and
idiots, I don’t mind that so much
but when it cornea to putting mo
down with miaanthrupiu old bach
elor* whoa* soul, like Vanoe’s cat
fish, is ao “ehwank” it no longer
peys poll tax, and narmw-miuded
indivduals who are unwilling to
light up the front of their houma
lost tome ohance ray should guide
a neighbor stumbling along in tbo
dark, right then I rise to proteat.
Because I want protection from
firs is no proof that I am not er
deutly in favor of the “Graded
School. They might as well have
asked if I were in favor of sun
shine and rain for growing crops,
or if I thought corn- would help
bin bom, or if • good
square meal would be of any great
benefit to a starving man. Yes
sir, Mr. Headlight, 1 am certainly
in favor of a Graded School, not
that it will bs of any grsat benefit
to my Urge and lively family, be
cause lean educate her myaslf,but
because the Book is rana which
says “none liveth, and do mnn
dieth to himaolf." If L, In selfish
folly, fear lest my children be in
jured by being thrown into oon
tset with others less fortunate
than they in the thing* that make
for this world’s show, then it's
my Ant and last duty to to up
lift, refine, elevate and educats
these unfortunate ones that no
human eye can see any difference
between those who help and those
who are helped. This town has
been my homo for twenty years
and we have not had a good school
for any two cousacutive years in
all that time, if tbs first year was
•ucocsaful tbe ssoond became a
disorganised drag. When our
ohihlreii go away to higher schools
end colleges, the teachers claim
that they are i.css prepared for
higher work than any others in
the HLato. This is a disgrace to
us, and ought not to h<k A
Mocking a home tv new locality,
neks flret “What about t he school*
and churches in tli«> community?”
When any one asks me that ques
tion 1 begin to talk about the be
nighted tribe* on the uortb-esst
bank of the Congo. To have a
permanent school we must taka it
out of the hands of the man whose
nnruly son was whipped, and the
woman whose daughter boa only
IT hearts on Iter bracelet, whereas;
her desk-mate has 20, and tha pa
rent* whoso children do ns they
please at home and consequently
must have obedience at a bitter
price in the school room.
Some object to the school, be
cause t here must bo two, oue for
each color. Well, Uncle Remus
says " when yon puts a spellin’
book in a nigger's hand, right den
you spile* a plow hand,” (his is
true, as yet, but they are going to
have the spelling I took and it be
hooves us to control and apply
that medium of education, it has
been too long left in the hands of
ignorant and prejudiced aliens.
South Carolina does not always
nutiMi a sole leader, but in her
system of education she hss set sn
example worty of tin* closest imi
tation. A child may enter a
kindor-garten across the liorder
and go straight on advancing from
one gmde to another until a diplo
ma from the highest institution
in the Htale means that South
Carolina has given to that child
the best gifts for mind and soul it
ia in liar power to bestow. North
Carolina is the third most illiter
ate State in the union, doesn't
that make you blush for shame?
I hope, before I die, to see a well
filled school house at every cross
roads, a graded school iu every
village, well-equipped and wall
manned (and nomaued.) High
schools and colleges all thro’ our
land,—all so organised as to be
part and parcel of one great Kdu
cational System with the Univer
sity at the top, dominating tho
whole, just os the land of our com
mon wealth slopes upward from
the wind-etirmd sands of Hatters
up to where Mitchell's Peak bears
the name of one of her wisest sons.
I hope to see all this before 1 die,
and you voters must hurry up,!
because 1 am already.

My «le«r old friend and comrade
I toceive your* of the And instant
and vm truly glad to bear from
you aud family. X know exactly
how to lympathixe with yon.
About two year* ago we were burn
ed out and lost ovorythiug; juet
gut out in time to save our own
lire#, but that waa nothing to
losings wife. On the 11th of
January my wife foil uud broke
her thigh. In two days afterwards
ahe taken pneumonia and died on
the 21st of January. W# had liv
ed together for over 60 years, and
ahe had been an invalid for IX
years and I believe it hurt me
worse to give her up than it would
if it hod been in unr young days.
8h« was one of the best women
that God ever gave to or tuuk
from man. l<et us live so that
ww are sure to meet our loves ones
in heaven.
Tell all they boys that I would
like to uoc them in Memphis on
tho 28th of May, 1901. I shall
be there if I nm able to go. My
health is now good, but aiuoe 1
sow you I have had alpirdtime;
my frienda thought 1 would not [
recover, bnt the Lord hue spared
mo thus far, and I hope we will
meet on mrtli once more. If 1
keep well X now thiuk I shall go
from Memphis to North Carolina.
Come to Memphis if you can, if
you cannot, I think 1 will see yon
at your house. God bleoa you and
every body, especially our old
buys. M. 8. Austin.
Don't Fotget j
That I want old iron, old
brass Ac., such as scrap iron
wa^on axle trees, buggy
springs, and all Linda of old
iron, except pots and stove
plates. Also all kinds of old
rubber shoes, old brass and
old bonee. I will pay fair
