For this reason many young mon from tho South go to Now England to tako courses of study in tho schools and courses of training iti tho shops. Tho opportu nity to acquire this knowlodgo and training at homo cannot hut ho of advantage to tho poople of tho South, to tho manufacturing interests and to tho Stato. Tho oxecution of tho work for constructing a building for this department and of equipping it is in tho hands of tho executive com mittee of thc Board of Trustees, of winch Mr. 1). K. Norris is ohairman. By authority of tho oxocutivo com mittee, approved by tho board, tho S SCHOOL BTJILDfNtt. preparation of tho plans for tho on tirc work was put in thc hands of Mr. I). A. Tompkins. It is expected that many of tho machine manufacturers will present samples of their machines to tho school, and that when it is finished thc value of tho property will bo more than double tho expenditure in consequence of gifts from machine manufacturers. lt is tho intention to havo every thing ready for tho operation of tho school bli is fall. TKXT1I.R BCHOOIi AT CLEMSON. Wc bclicvo with Col. A. K. Mc Clure,of tlie l'hiladelphiaTimes, that South Carolina is tho richest Stato in thc Union in its possibilities. It is not only tho richest in posibilitios, hut it is also tho richest in achieve ment. Its progress in cotton manu factures is without parallel in tho South. Its record in agricultural development is phenomenal. And yet tho extent and variety of its re sources have hardly been touched. We have succeeded in spite of our selves, our lack of training, our ina bility to make tho best uses of un equalled natural advantages. We have been preaching for years thc importance of advanced agricultural methods on thc farm and thc neces sity of technical training in manufac tures. Wc must havo both if wo would hold our lead in theno two great departments of industrial activ ity. Clemson Col logo is supplying thc State with educated farmers, and Clemson College will also supply tho State with fully trained and equipped manufacturing and mnohanioal ex ports. The plans for tho school have been entrusted to Mr. I). A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, N. C., who is weil li tied by training and expe rience for tho wuilc. Wo publish ail illustration of the Training School, with an interesting and valuablo ac count of tho lines upon which tho School will bo conducted, and tho work which it ia expected to accom plish. In a no.-.'onal letter to tho editor of Tho Nows and Courier, Mr. Tompkins says : "In my opinion it is ono of tho most important educational advance ments that can ho made in tho pres ent growing condition of cotton manufacture. I feel that wc all ought to leave nothing undono to qualify tho youth of our own section for every position occupied in a cot ton mill. There should bo no call for any cotton mills to send to Now lOiigland or to Old England, or any where (ilse for young men qualified to handle cotton mill machines, or to keep tho operations of cotton manu facture straight, in a mill. I go oven further than this, and would Uko to see Buch a system of textilo instruc tion and training built up in tho Southern States as would BO qualify tho youth ol this section to ioad in manufactures to a dogreo that they would ho sought by tho cotton man ufacturers of other sections on ac count of their superior knowledge and skill. It roally carno to pans in Europo that tho Gormans, by a ays tom of toxtilo schools, so qualifiod many young mon In Germany, that they were sought for in England for their knowledge of ohomistry in dye stuffs and oomplioated working of many things iu oonncotion with which England had mado no apooial provision for the oduontion of hor own youth. Tho tondonoy of Eng lish manufaoturors to omploy Ger man ohomiets and also Gormans in ether departments, onuscd somo alarm in England, As a consequence, England has, within tho last ton years, oxponded enormous sums of money in tho establishment of spo oial toxtilo schools. "Tho city of Manchester, for in stance, had three yours ago, whon I was ovor thcro, spout over one-half million dollars in tho establishment and equipment of a toxtilo Behool. Since then I have understood that one-half mil'ion dollars moro has boon cxpondod in its expansion. In this country, wo must oithor go for ward or fall bohind. Wo have roached tho limit of what may bo dono with picked-up knowlodgo and with ignorant labor. Wo havo roached tho point where tho rea! competition betwixt tho South and Now England mills bogims. Now England is well aware of her neces sities at this momont. By proper education both together may bring tho United StatcB to load tho world. "An important toxtilo Behool haB boon fouudod in Lowell, MOBS., and tho State had mado tho necessary provision to furnish ??25,000 cadi for three other BCIIOOIB to bo located in any cities which will givo an equal amount, Tho Lowell Sohool waB touimcu \Yi\dvy: this provision, and it is understood that nnothoi OT? will bo founded at an early date." Tho man selected to become prin cipal of tho Lowoll school waB taken out of Mr. Tompkins1 oflico in Char lotte, nnd waB ono of bia ongincors, and wo navo no doubt that ho will bo able to teach tho Yankees a groat many things about cotton manufac turing that they have novor know, before. Howovor this may bo, Mr Tompkins ia right whon ho says "We have reached tho limit of wha may bo done with pioked-up knowl edge and with ignorant labor. I wo intend to stay ahoad, wo must g( ahead.

As an "Old man in f>?coud childhood somotimos | imagines bimsolr as activo and strong as in young manhood, Vb Spoin in hor do Iago thinks sho can hold Cuba, and oveTTi' whip tho United States, while tho civi lized world stands amazod at her folly, treachory, and barbarian cruelty. Sho is about to illust rate in hor conduct and oxperionco tho truth of tho old provorb, "Whom tho gods wish to destroy they first make mad." Sho is also in the sad plight dosoribod by Solomon, " Wo to theo, O land, when thy king (or queen) is a child." All tho existing conditions wari ant tho bcliof that abo is destined, if sho persist in oppressing Cuba and measuring strength with tho United States, to sink lower and lowor in the) sealo of national importance. In a na tion's dooadonoo thoro ip a1 "^vs a decay of mon. What avails " eat navy without groat naval ofilcora to command ? In 1588, just 310 years ago, sho had a grcator navy for that poriod than hor present ono ia for tho present timo. Philip ll, son of tho groat Emperor! Charles V, was then tho King of Spain, and Elizaboth roignod in England. Philip nndortook tho wild schomo of conquering tho latter country. He had a navy of I ?it) war ships carrying a forco of about. 50,000 mon. lt was named in tho spirit of boastful confidence, "The Invin cible Armada.'1 England trembled whon abe beard of tho coming invasion. Quean Elizaboth, to oncourago hor army, mounted hor war horao, and rid.ng along tho lines, harangued tho soldiors at Til bury, declaring her willingnoaa to sacri fico hor lifo to savo ber country. Tho Invincible Armada carno on In a form of a hugo oroscent roaching half way across tho English Channol. Tho Spanish ma rines thought of nothing but success and oxpeotod soon to bold high carnival in London, and to introduco among thoir prospectivo English subjects, tho Jfan dango danoo and tho bull light arena. A littlo skirmishing with aomo Kngliah war vosscls soon mado it apparent that tho Armada was not Invincible. It loBt aovo ral of its ships. Tho Spanish commander bocamo demoralized, ordered li rotroat by way of tho Oifcnoys around by Scot land and Ireland, proforring an escapo hy tho ocean rathol* than venture baok in tho face of English troops. Hut in tho rotroat ho encountered an unoxpectod and Invisi ble foo in tho air, wrought up into a long tom pest that utterly wrecked and ruined tho Armada, changing it from tho invincible to an Invisible ono. Most! of ita aliipa woro sunk dooper in tho ocean than tho Al ?uno waB rocontly sunk in tho harbor of Havana by Spanish treachory. In tho churches of England to dennis of praiao in coiohrating deliv erance from Spain woro Bung and "Mur rio longland" was novor more morry than then.

This is a largor Bum than ha? been expended in any year since 1886. In a hatti o tho woodwork and all articles of wood aro oithor ntowod bolow or thrown overboard lest tho men bo injured by splinters. The origin of tho navy depart ment may bc said to dato from Octo ber 18, 1776, when Congress author ized tho equipment of two cruisers. Tho fastest vessels in tho navy are tho torpedo boats Porter and Du pont, each of which can travel 27.6 knots an hour. Battleships cost from $2,600,000 to *3,750,000, and cruisers from $000, 000 to $8,000,000, A good torpedo boat coats over $100,000.
