AMENDMENTS TO HE VOTED ON. Two of Thom Relate to School for tho Deaf and U'lnd, To the Voters of South Carolina: At the last meeting of the (Jeneral Assembly, at our suggestion, two amendments fo our State constitution were proposed for the betterment ol this school to be voted upon hy yon at th<- conting general election. If these proposed amendments are ap proved by tile people of this Stat?' voting "Yes" upon both of thom the school tor the deaf and blind will no longer be classed with the penal and charitable, but with the educational department of the State, lp order lo effect this change of classification it Ls necessary to amend our constitu tion in two places. Kl rsl, it is neces sary to so amend as to lake th?- school from the penal and charitable sec tion. A second amendment is neces sary to place the school nuder the educational section. At the coming general election you will he asked to cast your ballot either for or against these two pro posed amendments. Knowing that the people of this state will uniform ly vote "Yes" on these two amend ments, provided they are Informed as to their importance to this school. I deem ii my duty, as the representa tive of this school, to address this lot ter to you. A century ago the deaf and the blind children of these Knited States were allowed to remain a bur den to their parents and their friends. About a half century ago. great ad vancement bad been made when a la rue majority ol the States bad es tablished schools tinder the name of ..asylums" for the deaf and the blind children. So ignorant were the masses of tile people in regard to the ability and needs ol' these chil dren that they could not disassoc iate the charitable idea from a deaf and a blind child. Hut there bas come a general awakening in all our States. They are recognizing the faed that every deaf and every blind child within the bounds of these Knited Slates has a right to hope for an edu cation and a right to hope that it will not be handed out to him with the label of charity upon it, while his more fortunate brothers and sisters get the same thing and there is not Hie suspicion ot charity with it. The work done at our school ls education al in the highest sense, for it Includes instruction along literary, musical, industrial, physical and moral lines. Our graduates are successful men and women winning their way in the world and gaining the respect of the people around them; they are never objects of charity and the Behool that makes them should not be classed with the penal and charit able work of our State. Kor years, for all practical purposes, our classi fication has been educational, but le gally we have carried the stamp cf charity upon us. To take away the ld ul lwoCtfrn o ' + - - 1 ... ~. DO ooo i i nat SOU th Carolina will no longer stamp charity upon the ?'ducat ion she is giving, and will continue to give freely io bet deaf and her blind children. Keeling sure that the people ot this State will gladly aval! themselves of the opportunity to vote "Yes" upon both these amendments. I am, Yours very l inly. \. K. Walker, Supt. Cedar Springs, S.

To Properly Garrison the Country's Const Defenses. Washington, Oct. 22.-An urgent plea for more men to garrison the country's coast defenses was made hy Brig. (Jen. E. M. Weaver, chief of coast artillery, iu his annual report to-day to Secretary Garrison. .No new fortifications were asked for In addition to the proposed forts at Cape Henry to command the entrance to Chesapeake Day. Calling attention to th*? larger guns of foregln warships of latest design. Gen. Weaver asked that 16 inch guns he provided for Cape Henry. "Otherwise." he said, "these rorti tlcations may be subjected not only to a very much greater volume vof fire than can be delivered by them, but also have the disadvantage of replying to that fire-with guns of in ferior power, both hy reason of the diameter of the hore of the gun and by reason of its shorter length." Of the need for additional artil lerymen, the general said: "The shortage of coast troops for ' the United States proper is at the present time so far below the re quirements as to make it a matter ? deserving the serious consideration of Congress." He reported 664 officers and 10, 088 men below the needed number, explaining that the tak'"g of 2? com panies, to which must ie added 24 1 in the near future, for service in the Philippines, Hawaii and the Canal ; Zone, had crippled the service at , home. "Unless provision is made in tho near future." the report continued, ; "for additional coast artillery per sonnel it will bc necessary to reduce ; the garrisons to some caretaker de tachments at some of the defenses of lesser importance, including Ports mouth, Delaware, Charleston.
