The average reader of the Colum- i
bia momiDg dailies for the past sev- j
eral days could not f il but notice
what a state of moral and political
depravity alleged to exist iu that
city. If we arc to believe the bold
charge of fraud in elections, the j
prevalence of blind tigerism and
immorality in general, then that citymust
be far worse than Sodom and
Gomarrah are reported to have
been. But we are strongly in- .
clined to the belief that the picture j
has been awfully overdrawn and the
evils complained of are greatly magnified.
We cannot couceive howsuch
bold and flagrant violations of
both the divine and human law could
be permitted to exist in a city whose
citizens have such a high reputation
for reverence of law and order and
a holy and deep love for the highest
state of morality and virtue. Surely,
* ? ief0 QC !
if such a state or ammo c.wo..~
that outlined by the Register, the
police department would have beeD
forced to, make an effort at leas,t to
repress lawle6sless and brirg the
lawbreakers to justice.
Both Spain and the United States
are still pursuing their warlike preparations
with unusual vigor and
activity. Both governments have,
during the past week, purchased war
vossels, the former from the Chilian
government and the -latter from
Brazil. The incident of the week, j
^ however, was the presentation of
Minister de Lome's successor to
President McKinley and his friendly
reception by this government. The
war fever is still at burning heat and |
diplomacy is required to avoid a col- j
iision. The court of inquiry, which
has been investigating the blowing j
up of the battle ship Maine, has j
given out nothing for publication. !
The ships composing the Nurth
Atlantic squadron are being distiibuted
along the South Atlanii? ;
coast. Notwithstanding all these
preparations the heads of thedepartm2nts
have nothing to say as to the j
meaning of all this activity or the
real intention of this government in j
regard to the Cuban question.
?:
Boss Webster, the leader of the- !
Black and Tan Republicans in this
State, is Boss no longer. The Na- !
tional Administration has turned
down two of his henchmen during
the past week and the boss given a I
very black eye in consequence. Capt.
Lawson D. Melton, a native Republican,
and the chief of the Lilly
White?, has been appointed United
States Marshal for the District of
South Carolina, over Webster's candidate,
and the President again reminded
the dethroned boss that he
no longer had the ears of the Administration
by appointing W. V:
Fair, another native Republican of
the faith of the Lilly Whites, post
master at Newberry, over anegro en
dorsed for the position by Webster.
In an interview yesterday Governor
Ellerbe expressed his belief that
a war with Spain is inevitable and
that, in the event war is declared, he
will personally assume command of
the State troops and said that he had
issued orders to Adjutant and In- ,
spector General Watts to fully equip
every company and to direct the
Captains to recruit their companies
to the numbers required and declared
that he had about 5,000 men armed
and ecjuipped, "who would respond
to a man and fight a circular saw to
protect the honor of the American
flag.'*
The Risers were convicted last j
week in Newberry of burglary and !
larceny, in robbing the store of D
Hipp at Pouiaria, and Judge Benet i
seutenced Albert and Willie Riser to i
the penitentiary for five years and
one month and James A. Riser to IS j
months on the chain gang. Bickley, j
two negroes and perhaps others, will .
be tried at an extra term of the couit I
next month, charged with being im- j
plicated in this robbery. # j
The Chippewa Indians, on the ,
reservation near Superior, Wis., have I
expressed a determination, through j
their Chi? f, Powdeif .ce Lou, to j
volunteer in the United States army

The Prohibitionist have issued a I
call for a State convention to be held !
io Columbia on the 14th of April, to j
nominate a full ticket for State offi- j
cers, pledged to support prohibition. !
This ticket will be nominated sub- j
ject to the result of the Democratic j
primal ies.

Through the Hon. J. Win. Stoke.-, j
Gen. Joseph L. Stoppelbein has
tendered the war department the i
services of the first biigade of South
Carolina calvary. j
Id the second primary held yesterday
for the Mayoralty of C tlurnbia,
W. Mc. B. Sloan, the present encnmbent,
was defeated for re eleciiou by
Col. T. J. Lipscomb by 2*27 majority.
The election was conducted quietly
and both sides agree that there was
a total absence of fraud.
Attorney General Barber has expressed
himself as being firm in the
opinion that the decision of the
United States Supreme Court in the
Vandercook dispensary case will be
favorable to the State.
Swansea News.
To tbc Editor of the Dispatch:
The rumor of war with Spain don't
curb the farmer's ambition to be ready
in time. They think that bigger
thiDgs than "the Maine" will be
blown up if the plow stops.
The doctors now are restive over
the good health of the community.
A road will be cut this week from
Swansea eastward, to give additional
inducements to trade and convenience
to the traveling public.
Dr. C. T. Dowling of Norway, has
given one week in each mouth to the
dental profession here and will give i
notice to the public each month i
through the Dispatch.
Messrs. C. S. Roof & R. C. Shand
are putting up a mammoth planing
outfit here for dressing and turning"

The Geiger Brothers will move
their mill very near, on a tract of fine
virgin timber about a mile from
Swansea, owned by A. W. Martin,
and expect to run a copartnership
iuterest in the lumber business
while cutting his timber.
The committee appointed by the
Baptist Sunday school, viz: Mrs. P.
E. Hutto, Mrs. J. B. Harman, Mrs.
J. B. Langford, Miss Rebecca Dowling,
to solicit contributions to buy a
bell for the church have succeeded
well in their undertaking. They
give au entertainment last week
which was a success both in displaying
the capacity of those taking part
as essayist, declamers and actors,
and also financially. The patronage
of the community was commendable
and their generosity has given
sufficient funds to the ladies
of the committee, and they
have purchased a large, handsome

Deafness Cannot bo Cured.
15y local applications, as mey can
not reach the disease*.! portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
Deafness, and that is by ccnstitu
tional remedies. Deafness is cau ed
by an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gtts inflamed yo i
h ive a rumbling sound or imperfect
heariDg. and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, . n.l
uuless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out of ten j
are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of j
the mucousurs faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured by |

Meeting of the Teachers.
The fourth meeting of the teachers
of Ltxington coimty was held in the
graded school buildiDg the last Sat
urday in February. This was a very
profitable meeting and well attended.
Miss Ellen Hendiix, the accomplish
ed assistant in the graded school, gave
a practical language lesson. The
preliminary remaiks to the lesson
were very appropriate and gladly
received by the teachers. She taught
language in such an attractive way
as to engage the close attention of
the little pupils. The teachers enjoyed
the lesson also and felt themselves
much benefited for having
listened to it.
This subject was discussed at
some length by Messrs. E. U. Shealy
and II. B. Dominick, who thought
that language lessons should receive
more attention.
A paper which showed much study
was read by Mr. Thad. Dreher on
special preparation of the teacher for
school work He said many difficulties
lay in the way of the teacher.
The school term is short and a small
salary is received for the few months
work. To make teaching a profession
for life is to make up your mind
to undergo many hardships. Unless
a person be m love with the work to
such a degree that he is willing to
3U\JI 11ICC LL.auJ- uig |;ivaouiv.o wuvi
comforts of life be would hardly
choose teaching as a life woik. He
must have implanted iu him a desire
to benefit mankind by impaitiug
some of the blessings he has received.
The farmer has his agricultural
college the phys'cian bis medical
college, the lawyer his law college
and the teacher has his normal college
and it should be attended by
him. After the teacher has taken
his degree of A. 13. he should then
attend his normal school and give
himself special preparations for his
chosen calling. It is very important
that the teacher have the
very best of training, because he
i9 to do a great deal in shaping the
future destiny of our country. He
is dealing with immortal souls, and a
great deal is o^ving to him whether
those souls under his care be tinally
lost or saved. He is helping to form
the character of the politician who is
to coutrol future generations. The
minister who is to look after the
moral welfare of future generations
comes under his care, indeed all
classes of citizens are to be trained
by him, therefore nothing short of
the very best training should the
teacher be satisfied with. The
teacher who is afraid to spend a few
dollars in getting literature to read
will very apt to be pocrly paid by his
par.ns, but he who can always
spare a dollar for auything that will
make himself a better teacher w ill
be sure to not work at starvation
wages for many sessions. Too many
of us are anxious for a big salary
when we have made such a small
outlay. If the teachers were better
qualified they would receive better
pay.
The free school system has been
abused as buug a curse to our
j country, but some of this is mis
directed. No school is going to rise
higher than the teacher. If the
teacher be well prepared, live and
energetic the school is apt to be
prosperous. Teachers, let us endeavor
to equip ourselves for the important
work.
Mr. H. ]>. Dominick made a nice
talk on mathematics. He said every
one's life is more or less linked to and
dependent upon mathematics. At
some time or other and oftentimes,
daily do we call into use this science
It is the best study by which the
pupil can bo taught to reason, because
it is the most exact of the
sciences. Cultivation of tho reasoning
powers is a very important part
of education, and I think arithmetic
and algebra, when judiciously taught,
accomplish in a great measure the
desired lesult. In mr.ny schools

much of the time formerly devoted
to the teaching of mathematics is
now beiDg consumed by other rtudies.
It is a question whether this is
a wise practice or not, but we are ,
confident that arithmetic enough ;
should be taught to enable the i
student to calculate readily all ac- .
counts of ordinary business.
The subject of having a summer j
normal was discussed and I think
all agreed that it should be held. !
Nearly every one present expressed J
himself anxious to attend. Nothing,
I think, will do the teachers of Lexington
more good now than a good
normal. If held, every teacher in the |
county should attend without fail, j
It makes the teachers more enthusi- !
astic by coming in contact with live j
teachers. Here we get the latest

"We leain from the Congressional
Record that Tuesday, the Sth inst.
during the discussion tf the urgeuc)
deficiency bill in the House, Congressman
Stokes made the following
impromptu remarks:
Mr. Savers. I yield two minutes
to the gentleman from South Caro
fina [Mr. Stokes].
Mr. Stokes. "Mr. Speaker, I take j
it that no argument is necessary to
commend this bill to the judgment of
this House or of the country. It is,
in fact, but an expression of the con
elusions which have already been
reached in the minds of all informed
people in this House and in this
country at large. It is scarcely nec
essary, either Mr. Speaker, that I
should state what all must be aware
of, that the people of the State
which I represent are in favor of this
and of every measure which may be
deemed necessary in the wisdom of
our Chief Executive for the preserva
tion of our national honor and vindi
cation of the traditions of which oui
Hag is the symbol.
''There is scarcely a day, Mr.
Speaker, I might say scarcely aD
hour, since the relations between this
country and the Spanish Government
became strained that the people
of my State have not been send
ing words of encouragement and
assurances of support to the executive
department of this Government
The entire militia of our State?infantry,
cavalry, aDd artillery?are
already pledged. My people are
ready for peace, and they are read)
for war. In calm expectancy the}
await the issue. "Within tweuty-foui
hours they may be mobilized; and
once in the field, they will go as fur
a9 the farthest in support of the
dignity of the nation and the honoi
of the flag.
'I have to-day. Mr. Speaker,trans
mitted, at the request of parties
from my State, assuiances of that
sort and requests for the addresses
of enlisting officeis. In short, Mr.
Speaker, never in her history has
South Carolina more sincerely noi
more unanimously illustrated tb<
motto which for well-uigh a centun
has inspired her sons?'Always
ready with our lives and our prop
erty' for the defense of lifceity and
for the honor of our entire country.'1
(Applause.]
We do not think that in case ol
war with Spain, or any other govern
menl for that matter, he has promised
too much for his immediate constituents
in particular and the peopkof
this State in general.
