TEACHERS' COLUMN. -o (I^* Ali communications intended for this column should be addressed to S. P. Stribliutr, School Commis sioner, Walhalla, S. C. Wily should teachers examine their pupils? Beoauso it is necessary to test tile capacity of the pupils, and it is just to;tho pupils, thc teacher and thc patrons. If children were mero re ceptacles of various sizes, capable of growth and contraction, teachers would examine them occasionally lo find out how. much each would bold, and then compare his several ca pacities with previous tests. This would bc a very simule operation and exceedingly satisfactory. Teach ers should examine for the same purpose. Examinations often stimu lates tlic indolent, careless pupil by contrasting his standpoint with thal of Ids fellow student, who has been diligent in prosecuting his studies. Tins composition, exhibits hisdefcets in sud) unmistakable terms that ho is lcd to relied upon the amount of attention and study btv has bestowed upon his duties, both moral and in tellectual. There arc some people whom nothing can reach but a syllogism. How will the following series do? If they aro not made to stand, what better fun. than to knock them all doty ll like a row of bricks? I. Thc schools arc maintained for tho promotion of the best interest of tim State. Tho best interest ol' the State chiclly consists in honesty, intelligence and industry in its citi zens. Ergo: Thc schools arc main tained chiefly for thc promotion of honesty, intelligence and industry. '2. Thc schools are chiefly for tho promotion of honesty, intelligence and industry. Honesty, intelligence and industry aro internal growths, not external applications. Ergo: The schools are childly for thc pro motion of three forms of internal growth. 3, The schools arc childly for tho promotion of three forms of inter nal growth. All stich growth con sists in development. Ergo: Thc work of thc schools is chiclly a work of development. 4. Thc work of tho schools is chiclly a work of development. All works of development depend chief ly upon thc vigor and direction of their first stages. Ergo: The chief work of the schools depends ch ie Hy upon thc vigor and direction of its ti rsl stages. f). Thc chief work of the schools depends childly on the vigor and di rection of its lirst stages. The first stages of school work are conducted by primary teachers. Ergo: Thc chief work of the schools depends chiclly on that part which is demo by primary teachers. (5. Primary teachers do that part of a work of development upon which thc whole chiclly depends. In all works of development the part upon which tin; whole chiclly de pends requires tho greatest skill and carries thc heaviest responsibility. Ergo: Thc work of primary teach ers requires the greatest, skill and carries tho heaviest responsibility. 7. Primary teachers ?lo thc work which requires the greatest skill and carries tho heaviest, responsibility. Those who do such work should re ceive thc highest salaries, Ergo: Primary teachers should receive the highest salaries. 8. Primary teachers should re ceives tho highest salaries. Primary teachers do not receive tho highest salaries. Kryo: Some!bing's wrong. -Aristotle, Hoinco Was a True Hero. A largo crowd of people attracted my attention at G o'clock this even ing on Main street. On going clo ser I noticed that a number of men and women were surrounding a dog, which each and every one of tho crowd was anxious to lavish with at tention and endearing terms more appropriately bestowed upon a fa vorite child than upon an animal. "Conni herc, Konioe, my noble obi dog!" said one woman. "Give ino a kiss: there is a dear." "Ah, Romeo," said another, "it was a pity Johnstown bad not more such noble creatures as you are, and there would not be so many people dead here now." Thc ?log, a beautiful waler span iel, whoso fur was clipped so as to give liim thc appearance of il minia ture lion, stood as quiet and digni fied among thc people as if he un derstood each word addressed to him, taking J.he evidence of appro AMONG OUR EXCHANGES. Hold tho Philippines. Now tLat tho Philippines aro or will bo territory of tho Unitod Stntcs tlio question is hoing disoussed what shall wo do with thom? There is ono thing that wo will not] do and that ip return thom to Spain. Tho theory of tho founders of our I government was that wo should invo ns little to do with the quarrels ar.d troubles of another nation ns ; psi bio ; wo should not interfere with ! them, neither should they with us. But timbs nie changed and wo are no longer tho isolated nation wo once wore. It lins hecomo necessary for us to havo coaling stations in various parts of tho world, for wo may need ono when wo loaBt expect it. For instance no ono suspected in recent years that a United States Hoot would ho ongnged in a combat with a European power in tho Phillippines. In that part of tho worlp our ships might bo absolutely at thc morey of a European power in time of war un less they could ho supplied with coal our nearest homo port being thousand of miles away. This is a splendid opportunity to socuro what the country has so long needed, and wo should keep them for that pur pose if for no other. Of course there would bo difficul ties in the government of such a pop ulation ifhd it might cost a considera ble sum, hut that would be out weighed hy thc advantages to he de rived from their possession when wc really needed them. Wo believe this count ry has enough territory already and should not seek to go into land-grabbing for the sake of gain or colonization, but in our commercial relations we aro liahlo at any time to como into complications with other great nations and. wc shou'd have safe harbors and coaling stations where wo can host strike thom.-Columbia Register. lt Was Dewey's Victory. It was Commodore Dewey's own victory, and to him must go the glory of tho triumph at tho i'hillippinc Islands. It is safo to say that no hoard of strategy-certainly not tho ono that has directed thc peaceful hlockadc of Havana-would have directed Commodore Dowey to sail his squadron under thc guns of the enemy, past their land fortifications guarding Manilla, straight into the harbor, where ho was literally sur rounded by the fleet and fortifica tions of the Spaniards. The entrance to Manilla harbor was guarded hy submarine minen and coast defences, and tho Spaniards looked u;on it ns impossible for the Amener, n squad ron to come up to Manilla, even if they should survive the engagement j with the Spanish licet at s^a. It was reported that tho Spanish fleet would meet tho American squadron on the high sons, and in true Spanish boastfulness it was declared thoy would wipe thc American pigs off the sea. When Commodore Dewey reached tho Phillippines he did not wait foi Washington to give him orders what to do. Ile was far enough from home to tako the matter in his own hands and fight the hattie in his own way. Nothing could have been more auda cious than tho entrance hy Dewey's squadron within thc harbor at Ma nilla to engage tho Spanish war fdiips in their stronghold under pro tection of the lng guns on the coast fortifications. When one considers all tho circumstances, tho fight as made hy Dewey's squadron was courageous to the point of reckless ness. That it turned out as it did was duo to superior seamanship and marksmanship rather than to superior I equipment, for With the protecting guns on tho land, added lo tho Span ish fleet, it was equally well equipped. Many thousand miles away from homo,'surrounded hy the guns of tho enemy;, on nea and land, Commodore Dewey's sailors fought with tho nerve of mon who wore fighting for lift?. Had they not carried tho day they would never have gotten out of Manilla bay alive. The Spaniards Would! have shown no quarter. Wey iors nitrooiiies in Cuba would have hoon eVqitalled or outdone, and il was prohalf ly tho knowledge of their own intent (oins towards tho American ships af nd mon that led Spanish sail or? fol die with their ships rather than SRurrondor. They had no knowl edge jj of American civilization or mngni|/tnimity, but expected brutal torturan and ignominy at tho hands of theiw'r captors mid died rather than face itflj. -As ftuc mention is rondo of any doa Mugs with tho Spanish nnvy after tho hnjfttlo, and as all of tho terms of Coir*; Srodoro Dowoy's demands wore addressed tb tho land authorities of Manilla, it is clear that Commodore Dowey know ho had nothing to fear from further interferonco by Spanish war ships. Dowoy is justly tho boro of tho hour. Tn his own way, und through sensational daring, ho bas demolished the Spanish licet and made a glorious record for the Ameri can navy. Tho rank *,f admiral should repay his brilliant coup. Augusta Chronicle. Tho State's Survey? After all, and in spite of beginning practically du novo, with tho exist ing militia companies in most casos tho merest germs of the new organi sations, our volunteers have gotten into camp very nearly as promptly as tho well drilled, well disciplined and well equipped cammandsof some of tho richer States. South Carolina is in fact only two days behind New York in mobilization-and South Carolina had to begin at tho ground and build up companies, whilo New York had her splendid regiments ready for summons. Furthermore, despite tho fact that small communi ties have had to make up companies two or three times as largo as their militia organizations-reaching out in many cases to neighboring towns and to tho country for tho additional men required-they have raised tho quota and presented full ranks. It was a severe strain on them, hut they have acquitted themselves nobly. These things speak for the patriotism of our people and they fortify our pride in South Carolina. This little State is all right ! * # * The accounts which special dis patches, newspaper exchanges and the men themselves bring us as to thc manner in which some of tho towns of this State sent their volun teers to tho front aro affecting. There was Abbeville, for instance, which boasts thc title of "Thc Cradle of the Confederacy." It suspended business wholly and its people gath ered in ono body at tho railroad sta tion to cheer on its company of vol unteers in blue, fifteen in excess of thc quota ; Godspeeds were given by Confederate veterans, who dwelt with fervor on thc success of tho national arms at Manilla ; and strong men wept with tho women as the finest of thc old town's young citi zenship embarked for thc war. And Chester; which with hands and Hags and cheers kept enthusiasm at white heat for days while recuits were en rolled to treble thc numbers of tho Lee Light Infantry--mark thc name ! -for the campaign for American honor ; and kept open house for them all, and smothered them with dowers, and assembled to bid them farewell more than tho population of thc town. These are examples only of thc spirit of South Carolina. Never was there a liner peace offering to a restored Union made with a sacrifice to war in its service?-The State. Who is to itlaiuo : Two or three years ago, when tho Darlington riot took place, ten thou sand white men were, ready and will ing and anxious to answer tho call of Governor Tillman to march on Dar lington and kill, mangle, tear to pieces and destroy in the most sud den and terrible manner imaginable all thc white enemies of thc afore said Governor of this State. Some of them were reported as being very blood-thirsty, and they could hardly bo restrained. It was their own fel low-citizens, their comrades in war and their friends in peace, that they wore anxious to exterminate. Now when they aro called on to raise about '2,000 volunteers for the free dom of Cuba, they hang back and show no anxiety to rush into tho kill ing business. Not a single company that was organized for tho purpose of taking vengeance on Tillman'* enemies has any idea of volunteer ing. Thc companies that went t< Darlington under protest, bul in obe dience to duty, will bo found ready What is tho matter? Who is t( blaine ?-Carolina Spartan. Major E. A. darlington. Major R, A. (tarlington, of th? regular anny, has been made a briga dior and will probably bo assigned t< cammand tho South ('molina troop: in tho field. Ile is the highest rank ing Southern officer in tho anny-r nativo of Newberry ?mid son of tin late Gen. A. C. Carlington, who wai reared in this county. Major Gar lington has had experience in lh< service and in battle, distinguish inf himself, and Governor Kllorhe dh well to ask his promotion and assign nient to command tho troops of hi native State.-Laurens Ad vert-fee?! The South's Patriotism. Wo lovo tho South and aro prom of her history, her devotion to big] ideals, tho chivalry of her sons am i \ lior unsolflah patriotibm. But moro cspcoially aro wo proud that wo aro Southern born whou wo look at her now. For tho groator part of a g?n ?ration BIIO has boon troatod Uko an outcast in tho house of her fathers, and utmost denied any participation iix tho affairs of thc country, taunted with treason and disloyalty, her sons and her trusted loaders looked upon with suspicion and distrust, and tho brand of nolitioal ostracism put upon them by mon who cannot appreciate unselfish devotion to a great princi ple, who cannot understand tho deathless lovo these men had for thc r . T<ost Cause." And now in tho hour of danger, when duty to coun try and flag calis her, with the tears scarcely dried from her eyes, che rises from tho graves of her death less dead and tho ashes of her altars, and with tho heart of a lion and the eye of an eagle, she responds to tho call and is ready to pour out a liba tion on tho altar of her country and her' government. And it is all tho moro remarkable when wo consider what tho government is. When wc consider that there is not a ?Southern man in it it becomes still moro re markable. When wo consider thal it is a government run by Northern men and for Northern men and Northern interests, the thing rises to thc proportions of a wonder. Its executive hoad is a Northern man and he has surrounded his Council Hoard with Northern men. Tts rep resentatives at foreign courts and in the diplomatic service aro Northern men. And when the only man in tho Cabinet who could lay tho least claim to being a Southern man, although even bc was Northern born, Postmaster General Cary, resigned, when in these piping limes of frater nity and a reunited country wo might expect the President to look South of tho Potomac for his successor, he put another snub on the South and ignored all her claims to sit in thc high councils of tho nation and selected another Northern man, n Pennsylvanian. 1 le practically Baye to tho Southern men that they arc good enough to pay taxes and light, to bear thc burdens, but not to enjov thc emoluments of the government All the high ollicers of the anny and navy, the generals, the admirals, thc commodores, tho commanders, arc all Northern men, and even in tlu very departments of the government the same sectional distinction is kopi up. Verily, it is a remarkable exhi bition of pure, unselfish patriotisn that the South is making, lint sin is preserving, pure and untarnished her ancient reputation, and every soi of hers ought to bc proud of her. Anderson Advocate. Spain's Toppling Monarchy. There is far moro going on ii Spain than tho dispatches from Mad rid are permitted directly to reveal but enough is known to show tba not only lighting, but victory is nec essary to tho maintenance of UK Alfonsoist dynasty. There arc riots in ovcry (plai ter o tho kingdom. Military law i declared in a number of provinces The temper of thc people is mos menacing. What is worse, the artm shows strong symptoms of defection In all critical moments Spain is cou trolled by thc men wearing her uni form. As goes thc army so goes th government. And thc spectacle o army officers in citizens' dress inoit ing tlie mobs to violence tells th story of demoralization and danger. Out of this cauldron of rage an< insubordination wc know not who Carl is ts and tho licpublicans have ii large part ceased to co-operate wi tl tho upholders of the present mon archy in presenting' a common fron against tho common foes of thc mi lion. And tho allianco between th Liber?is and Conservatives, whicl has been so well maintained darin, the Cuban war, seems about to b( dissolved. United, Spain will light on yichlin nothing to aggression. Divided, dis traded by civil war, anything is pot siblc. The government cannot con tend against domestic revolution an against tho United ?States at th samo time. In this matter anarch is our ally. Home convulsions poi milted the loss of Spain's great coi tinenta! empire, in America, an domestic rovolt may hasten the lot Ot her island empire in tho Indie East and West.

DISCOVERED RY A WOMAN. Auothcr great discovery luis been made, and that too, by a lady in this country. "Disenso fastened its clutches upon ber for sovon years sbo withstood its severest tests, but ber vital organs wore undermined and death scorned Im minent. For tinco months sho coughed incessantly, and could not sleep. Sho finally discovered a way to recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle of Dr. King's Now Discovery for consumption, and was so much rclioved on taking (hst dose, that sbo slept all night; and with two bottles, has been absolutely cured, lier name is Mrs. Luther Lutz."

The. appointment ol General .Too Wheeler and (.encrai Fitzhugh Leo to tho rank of major general in tho United States army will forever lay in its grave a political ghost that was ever rising before tho affrighted gaze of the Robllblican party in exciting campaigns. Confederate brigadiers, clothed in a bloody shirt, fresh from thc warp and woof of the Republican stump speaker's imagination, were ever and anon riding against thc national capital in alarming numbers and their presence in the senato and house of representatives was a men; ncc to thc peace of tho Republic especially about election time. This ox-Confodorato brigadier and bloody shirt business has been worker by thc Republican party until tin shirt has become a thing of shred! and patches, and the war was so lonj. past that the offending brigadier! rarely thought of their military renown. This is a busy workaday world, and people of this gcncratioi waste little timo worrying abou what a man did thirty-three yean ago, provided he is meeting tin responsibilities and discharging tin duties of to-day. Rut small politicians win sough to profit by appeals to sectional pre judico and passion were wont ii every national campaign, and in tin course of healed party debates ii congress to hold up as a bugnboi before the people tho Confederate brigadiers in congress and to wav thc bloody shirt over thc heads o their affrighted party.

In that battle Spain, with thc aid of the Gencoso and Venetian Jlcots admin istered such a crushing defeat to Turkey that it destroyed the power of thc sultan on thc seas for all time to come. That was tho last of Spain's naval victories. Soventeen years hitor she sont ?tor boasted In vincible Armada, ho greatest col lection of warships ever seen, against ICngland. What the storm off thc ICnglish coast left of this splendid flotilla Francis Drake, tho dragon of thc sea, disposed of. In 1701 Spain lost Gibraltar and ICngland has held it ever since. Three months after its capture tho allied forces of Spain and Franco tried to retake tho fortress and lost 10,000 men in thc endeavor. The effort was repeated by Spain alone in 1720 and again in 1727, both times with disastrous results. Franco came to tho help of Spain again in 1770, but tho English beat them back from Gibraltar with heavy lossess. In 1781 Spain onco more attacked Gibraltar and suffered tho loss of 40,000 men. Franco again aided her in 1782, but tho allies were utterly defeated. Spain since that timo has given up hope of recapturing Gibraltar. On duly 81, 1718, Spain lost to ICngland twenty-one battleships at Messina. In 1780 Rodney adminis tered a severe defeat to tho Spanish licet off Capo Vincent, whore her warships wore recently gath ered. A far worso thrashing was given her by that grcatcstof all sea-fighters, Horatio Nolson, at Trafalgar, where with a far inferior licet ho almost annihilated the combined naval strength of Franoe and Spain. Spain's latest naval defeat before tho battle of Manila was in I860 when Fern, with a few ships, most of thom borrowed from Chili, uttorly defeated a stronger Spanish fleet. Admiral Poioja, tho Spanish com mander, was so mortified at tho result that ho retired to his cabin and blew out his brains.

Thoro havo boon froquont coniliois bctwcon tho rioters and tho oivil guards, and looting and shooting are reported from various points. At Barcelona there has hcon a ro nowed run on tho bank, tho holders of its notes demanding silvor. Anti-government d?monstrations aro now of alarming frequency, and tho army is unnhlo to copo with tho infuriated populace. Cabhiot officials aro in conference, and' sovoral propo sitions aro hoing considered. Tho throne is anxious for nu carly termi nation of tho war, and tho masses aro in favor of what thoy consider a Btrongor military polioy. Woylor is rapidly becoming, tho popular idol on account of his rigid Cuban policy and tho rcvorses that havo befallen tiro nation since thc war with tho United States began. A mob of about oight thousand striking minors has mado a tumultu ous demonstration at Murcia, capital of tho provinco of that name, thirty miles from tho port of Carthagena. They shouted "Death to tho thioves," "Down with tho taxes," attempted to set fire to tho railroad depot, and other buildings and thou began a movement, toward Carthagena. A strong force of troops, however, pre vented tho rioters from moving on the port. A number of mon woro wounded. Disturbances aro also threatened at Carthagena, whero martial law has boen proclaimed. Similar scones have occurred at Oviedo nnd Leon and at a number of other towns where factory hands havo quit work. The strikers aro parading tho strcots, demanding cheap board and stoning houses. Tho steps taken hy tho authorities havo resulted in tho restoration of penco at Malaga, whore tho British stonor yacht Lady o?' Clcmcll was recently stoned and driven out of tho harbor. It appears that tho Malaga mob thought sho was an American vessel. Thc troops arc held in tho bar racks, ready to mareil at any instant against thc mob ortho revolutionists. Cavalry and infantry patrol tho streets from nightfall to sunrise. All thc public buildings are crowded inside with foot and mounted police. In thc rest of the kingdom tho precautions, though less visible, aro equally strict, because thc court and tho government fear graver move ments still in caso of reverses in Cuba or to the ileots. Tho chief fear is of a popular invo lution, which everybody can seo is brewing. SPAIN'S^ISASTER. Aggregate Values or Ships Ovor lTvo Million.

It is officially reported that none of tito Americans or Cubans of tho expedition were killed or wounded. It is sa'ul that cacli party did not consist of over a dozen mon.

There wove some fifty Spanish regulara sitting on top of this blockhouse watching tho Ley den and the insurgeants. Tho Wil mington's first shot went wild. Tho twelfth and last shot was a bull's eye.
