In our last issue we disclaimed knowing W. D. Smith, the gentleman who volunteered a health certificate for "Uncle" George Tillman in reply to our opinion of that 2entleman's physical condition. We really could not recall Mr. Smith, because there are so many Smiths, but when we learned that this Smith is the very Smith who is city editor of the Co Inmbia State, and a right good Smith he is, we regretted to have lost sight of him eve for a time. Why, Smith there is nothing the matter with him;' he is alright, even if he will fool a fellow oocasionally by discarding his every-day profession, and assume the owlish look of a medical doctor. Who would have ever thought that Smith of the Colurbia State carried around with him a roll of health certificates? Smith, old boy, we are glad to have discovered you, because a newspaper correspondent of your achievements to be unknown would be a calamity indeed, but when you grind out any more health certiflates, label them, that in the effort you may not so eas ily lose y our identity. The report of the court of inquiry has been transmitted to congress by the President. It is a massive docu ment but when summed up it is the opinion of the court that the Maine was destroyed by a sub-marine mine, that no one on board of the ship wvas to blame, and that the responsibility cannot be fixed, from the evidence add uced before the court. In other words the Maine was destroyed by a sub- marine mine by persons unknown to the court. The finding is very similar to that of a coroner's jury after a lynching bee. In sending in to congress the find ing of the court President McKinley accompanied the same with a mes slage which must commend itself to the good sense of the people through out the Union. He evidently real izes the horrors of war and at the same time he believes in maintain ing the rights and the dignity of the United States. The message is a document from a statesman who is seeking the best interests of his gov. ernent without a thought of the political consequences. At this time war is a popular demand, bemu'se the people are excited from the re ports of the horrors existing in Cuba and the constant clamor of the war thirsty newspapers, and we believe were the President to de v . war. no power upon earth could prevent his re-electhon; but President Mc Kinley has shown himself high above his personal or his party's interests and be is endeavoring to whip this fight without the shedding of a droi of blood, and this is the highest ordei of statesmanship. The Greenwood Journal charges us with misrepresenting Hon. GeorgE D. Tillman and gives the "Smiti health certificate" as reference. WV deny misrepresenting Col. Tillmnan What we had to say about his condi tion and his chances of election was but an opinion and it is so taken b) intelligent readers. Our article mean: nothing more nor less than that Mr Tillman is too old a man to be Gov ernor, and we believe when he goes upon the stump, the people wil see whether or not we are correct it our opinion. We do not understand why it is that the friends of Col. Till man are so sensitive about the men tioning of the old gentleman's physi cai condition, when it is a fact, tha the opponents of Governor Ellerbi have been lugging him around upoi an invalid's chair for the past year and instead of their havirng the privi lege of attending his funeral, the2 are disappointed and chagrined tc find the Governor in fairly good shape to give an account of hi: stewardship. C,>1. Tillmnan has th< reputation of being a hard hittee on the stump,and we suppose he is t< fill such a mission this summer, bu he may have the strengt to roar lik a lion, it will avail nothing with th~ people who have made up thei minds to give Ellerbe a second term Hard hitting may be gratifying t~ those who have spleen to gratify, bu this class is very much in the minor Will.there be war between this country and Spain is the all absorb ing question of the day. The report of the court of inquiry says the Maine was blown up from an exter nal cause, but it does not fix the re sponsibility upon the Spanish govern ment. President 'McKinley is keeping a cool head and is not allowing him self to be "carried off his feet" by the popular demand for war, at the same time he is making good use of the $50,000:000 placed into his hands by Congress, by putting the army and navy in a condition to meet any emergency. Whether or not there is a collision between the United States and Spain the war scare has' put into circulation millions of dol lars that probably would have re mained locked up in treasury vaults at Washington. President McKinley has a hard task perform in keeping down a hot headed congress, and his task is still greater because the whole country without regard to section or party joins'in the cry for war. The "Maine incident" has almost become obscur ed by the reports from American representatives of the sad ;condition existing among the non-combatants in Cuba. The condition reported is a picture of horror; thousands upon thousands of men women and chil dren are huddled together into the little towns and they are on the verge of starvation. Humanity demands some immediate action, and it is thought that this government will require Spain to stop her warfare and give to Cuba her independence. Spain may not heed the United Staes and it will force this government to become the aggressor. Many think that war is inevitable, while others believe if proper steps are taken, war will be averted and both countries will get over the trou ble, each with honor to themselves. Information was received in Colum bia a few days ago, which, if true, will put the original package dealers in this State to emigrating. There must be some foundation for the ru mor, as it is a fact that one of the principal furnishers to the original package shops is now traveling in the State winding up the concerns in which he is interested. The report is that Simonton's decision, recently heard before the United States Su preme Court, will be reversed and that the same has been intimated to Mr. Bryan, attorney for the liquor men, who has advised his clients to get their stuff away before the decis ion drops. If there is truth in this report, the dispensary law can be made the tighter and enforced more strictly.

No legislative body in ancient or modern times ever placed in the hands of an executive, whether Pres ident, king or emperor, fifty millions Iof dollars to be used at his discrb 'tion, without some communication from him as to wvhat disposition he proposed to make of the money. The unanimous vote of the two Houses, placing in the hands of. President McKinley fifty millions of dollars, was in accordance with the wishes of seventy millions of people, who ab hor the murder by starvation of hun dreds of thousands of women and children in Cuba to conquer the struggling patriots by extermination. It was also a vote of confidence in the President of the 'United States that he would not allow the terrible condition which now exists in Cuba to be perpetual; that he would not allow money-lenders, stock jobbers, gold gamblers or Shylocks of any description, to fasten upon Cuba a bonded debt to make the people slaves, and that he would not allow Ithe vultures of avarice in London and New York to utilize the critical Icondition growving out of our duty to Cuba and our relations to Spain to strengthen the grasp of gold mon opoly upon the people of the United States. The union of the advocates of the English gold standard and those who contend for the right of the United States to maintain an independent financial policy in the two Houses of Congress was based on the supposi tion that the President in the shadow of war and death will never allow an alien gold trust to fatten upon the misfortunes of the country, for which the people at large are in no way re sposibe.-Silver Knight.

Sia~Bears the Te in YuHaeAlways Bolghlt RECENT CHANGES HELP ELLERBE. h'olitical Events of the Past Week Re viewed-Effect of the Prohibition -anaticism - The Scales are Dropping from Ayer's Eves. Columbia, 8. C., March 2G.-The changes on the political horizon might be well compared to kleido scopic pictures. The ever changing views presented grow more interest ing as the lights and shadows come sod go and the various elements of the picture constantly rearrange themselves in groups, now beautiful in their symmetry, now grotesque in thir angularity. Two weeks ago with a possible coalescence of prohibition ansd local option forces in prospect, it seemed that the result of the summer's cam paign was settled, now lo: a change. Possibly in the pride of power, pos sibly instigated by some other im pulse known only to fanaticism the prohibitionists have shown them selves stiff-necked in this matter, and their chances of success have dwin dled to a shadow. In the unchaste but forceful language of Hogan's alley, "they have dropped their candy." Prohibitionists have always been regarded by conservative politicians as impractical dreamers, but few politicians were prepared for such an exhibition of a lack of insight into practical politics as has been exhid ited within the past two weeks. Not only have they refused to augment their strength by concessions to a large faction of the Democratic party but the unreserved opinion has been expressed that the fight should not be confined within the- limits of the Democratic party. This is largely in view of the fact brought to their no tice that the constitution of the Dem ocratic party provides that before any candidate shall be entitled to vote at the primary be shall have fill ed his pledge "that he is not, nor will he become, the candidate of any fac tion either privately or publicly sug gested, other than the regular Dem ocratic party." This clause was adopt by the con vention of the Democratic party in 1894, and was intended to forever prevent factional grabs as opposed to the institution of free vote aud a fair count. In spite of all this and the opinions of many ivise politicians, there are not a few who believe that the prohi bition vote will be a surprise. As a matter of fact, a study of the field shows that the people are desir ous for a change. They are dissatis fled, but their views are chaotic, and they want a campaign. They want to see and hear the candidates, and they do not want any more political hacks. If the election were to be held without a canvass and just now, in the absence of startling develop ments, it is the confident belief of this correspondent that the people would give Governor Elierbe an other term. They will give him another term anyhow, unless there is a wonderful change in the minds of the people, and in that case a strong and vigorous fighter on the stump, a man with a clear record, who has not been "defiled with poli tics," nor eves idcntified, to any ex tent, with old factional issues starads a show. It is understood that Sena tor Tillman has at last about settled upon Ellerbe as the most likely stand ardbearer of the faction of which he is the Abrahami, the Isaac and the Jacob. How this may be a week from now nobody can say, but at present there is every reason to be lieve that what is said above is true. The "understanding" between El lerbe and James Norton, who was long considered as opposed to Eller be, and who is no small potatoes in poltics, has greatly strengthened El lerbe's position. If he can maintain himself on the stump he may be con sidered a winner, but the Governor is not a strong man physically. He has made some enemies and many friends. His policy looks to a man up a tree, a series of unforeseen prob lems, but then for a politician to solve tbese things himself and to make the people see them through his glasses is two different things. Some time ago it was intimated, and at that time seemed very likely, that the Patriarch of Poliitcal Dis sention wvould lend his strong right arm to R. B. Watson. Now this seems a remote possibibility. There are two reasons against this, one, Col. Watson's opposition to State aid for higher education, in which MIr. Till man's toes were stepped on in the Clemson college matter; andi, second, that Col. Watson has felt the sting of that ingratitude, that is sharper than the serpent's tooth, and which is one of the Pitchfork's conspicuous charac teristies. Within the next few weeks it is not at all impossible that George D. Till man may loom up as a more cor. spicuous figure on the horizon, at present his sun is not in the ascend ency to any noticeable degree, yet with local option and a clean fight he may become a powerful factor. It depends on the backing he gets and the men who trust their fate as can didates for lower positions on the ticket to his platform of glittering promise. Ex-Solicitor Schumpert has devel oped no strength, and our opinion is that he has more confidence in his own ability than anyboby has in him, but if he should agreeably surprise his friends in this particular, he stands as good a chance as anybody else; there has been such a thing as a horse to drop dead on the track. In fact, the people may be looking for the advent of a well-knit and cleanly groomed dark horse. Senator Archer's sun seems to be still on the decadence, but there is always a morning after a night if the world does not come to an end in the meantime It is stated on good authority and vouched for that Senator Tillman will Itake the stump this summer and try to rally the broken battalions of his erstwile faithful. The slogan will be the dispensary, and incidentally he will urge whatever candidate seemeth to him most likely to do his bidding and be a winner, but the doughty statesman hates a losing fight, and has no use for a fallen hero. The people however showed clearly 'their resentment of his interference in the late senatorial race and there 'is every indication that they will con ~~NV.~~ B.JBI INS N W~~t.

TEACHERS' COLUMN. Con1(lucted by Clarendon County Toachors' Association. GIST GEE, Jordan, S. C., - Editor. MIss CARRIE LEGG, Workman, S. C., (i. T. PUGH, Shiloh, S. C., Associate Editors. School Government Anong tho Prinarios. School discipline among small chil dren as arnong large ones should be gentle but firm. The school is a gov ernment with the teacher at its head. To make this a government that op erates in all of its departments suc cessfully. depends largely upon the teacher. There should be a love and sympathy existing between teacher and pupils in order to obtain the best results. Pupils do *not think any less of teacher for being strict. In fact it is a good thing for them to grumble sometimes. Being strict always demands more respect from the children and brings about better studying. The first work of the teacher is to learn as nearly as pos sible the dispositions of her pupils and when this is accomplished the teacher can then use government to suit each individual case. No two can be dealt with alike. With some dispositions it may take the atrictest discipline, while with others kind 'and gentle means we find to be the best: always. It is always best in all cas es to use the gentlest means, resort ing to harsh ones only when absolute Il necessary. With large pupils it; mnay only be necessary to tell them to behave like ladies and gentlemen and not burden them with rules. With primaries however, it is often necessary to make rules aod bri ng themn constantly before their minds. have a good government. Without this, good results cannot be obtained. ' he enforcement of all of its rules must be strictly adhered to. Our next issue will be devoted to Reading-Seud your papers to Edi tors at once. School Govornmornt. The best governed school is the one that has the smallest number of rules, especially in the beginning of the session and do not add one un less it is absolutely necessary. You formulate a long code of laws and are continually trying to catch some one violating these, thus mak ing the pupil feel that he is an out law and that you are a detective watching his every action. There is a point, even in a child's nature, at: which we may expect rebellion, and a just one, too. Oppressive school reg ulations cause continual trouble; the pupils begin to think that thoy are not guilty of a violation of school law un less they are caught in the act and this degrades their characters, for now they will do things when the te.cher is not present that they would not do in his company. The teacher's duty is not merely a teaching of books, but an instilling into their pupils a love for truth, honesty and all of the other elements of true characters; in so far as a teacher fails to do this, so far does he miss his calling. So, in the begin ning, throw every pupil old enougah to realize the meaning of honor, o his honor to behave as he ought;: 'stress by frequent talks the individual responsibility, showing that not the teacher but the pupil determines the character of the conversation on the; play ground, and to a large extent 'their habits at home and in after-life; what the boy is we may expect the man to be. Even though the teacherlI way be good, yet the tendency is to follow the evil instead of the good, and the influence of fifty will coun teract tae good one may do. Oppress them and they wiH rebel; honor them ind they will respect it. If you have too many regulatlons, repeal them at once and notice the ahange in behavior. Most of the troubles take place at recess any way, and the teacher can easily hinder this by going out of the chool-room and joining with the hildren in all of their games. Make them feel that you sympathize with them in all of their plans, suggest new games and try to excel in them; this often adds wonderfully to the influ ence of the teacher. Try to make them look upon you as a friend, work ing for their good, not as a taskmas ter, who regards them as mere ma chines from which so much work must be obtained in a given length of time. Be sure to control yourself and then to control others will be com paratively easy. Aim at Self-Government. The late Emerson W. Keyes was a very successful teacher. Many years ago be told of his experiments with a large scbool- to introduce self-man agement. He made a list ot the pu pils, and put it up, and marked five of them with a cross, and gave thern liberty to leave the room at any time they wished, stating that these five would not abuse the liberty. Grad ually others were added to the list, until, finally, all but the youngest class. These were also allowed to move about in the school-room with out getting permission first. If a pupil's liberty was extended to com municatitns with each other.-Se lected. Love and Authority. The establishment of authority is the first great necessary step toward success in school government. But it is not snificient in itself. It must be rooted in and kept strong by the power of love, with kindly words, sympathizing thoughtfulness, watch fulness against wounding their pupils' feelings; teachers will not find it very difficult to maintain the discipline necessary for educational progress.
