Sold by Palmer, Digga & Co. There is economy, that is cent wise and dollar-foolish.: There are places were rigid - econ omy should be practiced, and there are places where economy does . not pay. Economy t hat costs more than it saves is to be javoideb. This is true in public affairs as well as in private busi ness. In both it sometimes pays to be generous. . - - We have in the public schools of this county been practicing a false economy to the great detri ment of educational interests. There are some of bur teachers whom we are not paying i such ; salaries as will insure good5 ser vice. If we have good teacher in these places we shall lose them unless we give them a fairer re muneration. The average salary of white teachers in this county last year was only $34.02," $30.95, if we do not include the princi pals of " the r High Schools. In some schools the salary is only $25,00. The result of fixing the salaries so low is that good teach ers will go to places where they arei)etter paid. We can hold on- )y those who prove to be worth less. Ox course there-will be ex ceptions where ithere is difficulties in the. way of leaving home, but the exceptions will be few. The best teachers cannot afford ; to teach at $25.00 a month even at home: " , " It is a. great mistake" to sup pose that any one, is competent to teach in a primary school who can read and write and work the examples in a, primary or inter- J mediate arithmetic, leaching is a profession and some training is required for doing the work successfully. . It requires a con siderable expenditure of money to make i this reparation. The work of the primary teachers re quires more tact and skill than any other. While many, of our low-salaried teachers are doing all that could . be reasonably, ex pected under , the - circumstances; it is unquestionably true that some of our schools perhaps we should say many of our schools- are ; suffering seriously because they have always had cheap teachers. Children go year after year, from the time they are ix years old until perhaps they are twenty one and never get beyond the fourth or fifth grade. ; It may be said that this is not the teach er's fault but conies from the fact that the children are irreg ular? in their attendance. The answer ds, a first rate teacher will bfe abler to arouse such inter est in- iiier pupils as will secure more regular attendance in a majority of cases. The results would be a goodly number of children in the advanced grades all over: the county. This is. a consamation devoutly to be wish ed ; for more money for the schools would secure its realiza tion,' AND NOTHING ELSE WILL If the salaries ranged from $40 to $60 per month "the problem would be solved. Men andjyo men who have the requisite'edu- 1 cational training and the amount OI special " Draining req uireu a ui really good work In the schopl room can: get larger salaries in other lines of work, with steady employment for the entire' year; that is more thin $480: to $720 a vear. In Richmond county ru ral schools there are no teachers! other than the principals of the High Schools that receive as much "as $200 a; year from-the public funds.' - ' 'C" , - Why are tBe salaiies fixed as low as $25 vper month? . We - will discuss tneaKswer to this ques tion in our next issue. ' would have greater : freedom un der the restrictions than without them, v One; way for us to main-1 .tain our true liberty is to re strict: those who claim the liberty of imposing on us a thraldom jno man should have the liberty to take away the liberty of others. And this is true though he may, use indirect means to accomplish his purpose. 1 Thejman who is a slave, to ap petite is none the less a slave. We are not thinking : specially of the slave to drink, there are other, appetites than that for li quor that hold men in chains and every sinful apnetite is a master. when it erets beyond -control. Slaves to sin are to be numbered by the million. ! No l one has a right to lead others into sin. The man who indulges .sinful propen sities does himself a ivrong, and when he i entices others he does them a wrong. Submitting 1 to thraldom does not confer on him the right to inthrall others. No sort of logi can show that it floes." Those who- are slaves should not want to enslave oth ers. They should not claim any such privilege. - - They that sin are' the slaves of sin, soj the Master declares. There is only one way to Secure deliverance from this bondage. We may assure the appearance of freedom when we do not pos sess it. 'The criminal walks to the scaffold where he, is to be ex ecuted j us t as if rhe were fre. His limbs - move under the im pulse of his own volition, but he )is not free. There are conditions that control his will, and he is obliged to do substantially as he does. He chooses to walk up the steps to the platform that he knows is to drop from "Under him when the fatal rope is adjusted. He might say to the witnesses of the execution "Don't you see that I am ascending the scaffold of my own accord; that no one has hold of me; that I am per fectly free? ' ' But his only free-: dom! is to go to death. The sin ner says, I am free, but if left to himself his course leads certainly to eternal death; He is utterly helpless as helpless as the con demned criminal on the way to execution. His fellow sinners are also unable to help him. But there is One who can help him and is willing togive him de liverance. This One is the sin ner's only hope; There is hone other name given under heaven wherebyy we may be saved. Christ can free us' from sin. . "If the Son, therefore, shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." NIGHT RIDERS AS ; ; THEY REALLY ARE Some Actual Experiences of Men x , Who Have Seen and t y Fought Them RELIGI0U3 Freedom. . - L We hear a gre'at deal said about freedom; but there are . a great many; who are in the worst kind of thraldom 'and yet think they are free.

Tobacco fields have literally ; been sown with the seeds of death, as is shown by what happened on the Holl man place v just outside r of Hen derson. Frank Hollman was one of the most extensive growers in this part of the Blue Grass re gion; He was asked to join the planters' society, and when he refused, several; threatening letters-were received by him. " One morning he went out to his- barn to find on the door a ring of black paint, in the centre of which was a grinning skull just above a pair -of bones ; arranged in the form of an X. : . . : -Hollman was a man of 'pluck,' as - his neighbors palled it. He paid no attention to the warning'. The ; weeks passed, and as "no raid was m ade on his place it was thought his enemies feared to attack it, , knowing that he was well armed. When the- season for plowing "arrived Hollman de cided to put in' tobacco on a ten-, acre lot located near his house.
