Clarendon feels proud of a child, who when away from home, among strangers, will so conduct himself as to win the approbation of good men. In the deplorable affair which took place at the Citadel a full accourt is published on another page, Cadet Samuel 0. Cantey has proven him self a worthy son of a noble sire and true to the characteristics of his fam ily, he faced a storm of adverse criti cism with the heroism of a soldier; conscious of his obligation and be lieving himself right, he dared do that which, was not approved of by a large number of his fellow-students and which brought about such a storm of indignation, that the author ities in- charge feared that harm would be visited upon him, and they were forced to appeal to the ci vil authorities for protection. But our readers can read for themselves, and we will deal with the action of visitors and the future of the institu tion. The Board after giving the unfortunate Cadets a hearing decid ed to expel all of those who were connected with the disgraceful affair and as a result 64 students were giv en two hours' notice to get out of the institution. This was a just punish ment, any thing less would have been regarded as "white washing" and the people would have resented it; as it is, the authorities have proven them selves worthy of the trust reposed in them; they have established a rule, which will last as long as the Citadel or any other public institution in this State. The action of the Board was a necessity, for the people would not tolerate the existence of an institution which would allow its students make "unwritten law" to govern in conflict with written law, and while we could see no other way out of the difficulty but the one taken, we feel very sorry that so many boys in a moment of Ioolish frenzy threw away such a fine opportunity for an education. The Citadel is a grand institution and never in her history did she sho.w her self to better advarntage than when her "Salley port" opened and 64 boys marched out for breach of discipline. In many schools a way would have been invented to have plastered over the offense on account of the number involved, but not so with this school. The people are taxing themselves to keep up a millitary school and they expect their children taught disci pline. Can this be had at the Cita del? An answer may be found to-day in nearly every county in South Caro lina. The enemies of the Citadel take this unfortunate affair as a sweet morsel to roll under their tongues and already they imagine seeing its walls tottering, but in the light of recent events it is our honest belief the Citadel to-day is stronger in the hearts of the people than ever, and many who were taught to believe the institution a "dude factory" are now convinced that it is a school w6rthy the ambition of their sons and they will come to its rescue should an enemy undertake to strike it. A school in charge of men wbo will up hold Right even if their act breaks up the school, is the place which will turn out men that the country can depend upon, and an institution gov erned by men who will dismiss 64 students many of whom were the sons of the most prominent men in the State and stand by one farmer boy in the discharge of his duty is an in stitution with a government which will be pointed to from all parts of the country as an example of discipline. When we express onr delight at the magnificient vindication Cadet Cantev received at the hands of the authorities, composed of the gover nor, General Ellison Capers, (now Bishop) and others who have risen to fame in peace and in war, we voice the feeling of the people of this sec tion, and~at the same time there are none who feel a deeper sympathy for the expelled cadets than Cadet Can teys family and friends. M. L. Yocum, Cameron, Pa., says: "I was a sufferer for ten years. trying most all kinds of pile remedies, but without success. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve was recom mended to me. I used one box. It has ef fected a permanent cure." As a per'nanent cure for piles DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve has no equal. R. B. Loryea, Manning; L, Consul General Lee arrived in Washington from Havana yesterday and from the time he landed on American soil until be reached his destination he was the recipient of great honors. At the Capitol he is the centre of attraction and at every turn he receives an ovation. His withdrawal frem the scene of trouble at this time is having the effect of aiding those who wish to plunge the country into war. He appeared be fore the foreign relations committee 3 esterday afternoon and is reported to havo expressed the opinion that the Maine was destroyed by Spanish agencies. Just at this time Fitzhugh Lee is the hero of the hour and it would not surprise us at all to see his boom lunched for thepresidency; it is thought that Congress will act to-day authorizing the president to intervene at once and demand the immediate withdrawal of the Spanish troops from Cuba. This step would be like going into a man's dwelling without autbority and demanding of him a surrender of the premises. The latest dispatches look very ominous and we believe before we go to press again war will be declared unless Spain will accede to the Amer ican demands. The prohibition convention assem blies in Columbia to-morrow and since the Democratic execntive com mittee has construed the party rules to admit them to run in the primary they will no doubt put forward a State ticket. At this particular time we regard the movement of the pro hibitionists as unfortunate, because their ticket cannot do otherwise than defeat their own purposes; if they succeed in talkiner away from the ad vocate, of the dispensary many votes and do not get enough to elect their ticket, the opponents of the dispen sary as well as prohibition are the sufferers thereby. Many of the adz vocates of prohibition favor the dis pensary system to individual control because they understand what "indi vidual control" means, and they are now in a rather embarassing position: these men are prohibitionists from principle, but they do not believe the conditions are ready for the theory to be put into practice, they therefor have accepted the next best step, the dispensary system, since it has about become divested of its irritating feat ures. We sincerely hope that when this convention which bas been call ed for the specific purpose of nomi nating a State ticket meets, it will re consider this step and join hands with the element who are endeavor ing to bring the people together, whose leader is a prohibitionists from principle and who will sign a prohibi tion act if the general assembly pas ses one. This man is our present Chief Executive. Go'iernor Ellerbe, a man who has been tried and found to be non-partisan and who has giv en to the people a cl'ean business ad min istration, free fr om friction and scandal. The President's long-looked for message went to Congress last Mon day. He deals with the questions at issue in a conservative manner and at the same time he tells Spain that war on the Cuban Isisnd must cease. He proposes to intervene with the army and navy if necessary, and his statement. about the condition of Cuba is so forcible that Congress will, in our judgment, take the ini tiative step and bring things to a fo cus. President McKinley realizes the seriousness of the situation and has, placed the responsibility upon Con gress. He refers to Spain's offer of an armistice, but does not lay much stress upon it. The message was not well received by the "war shriekers," and they are criticizing it severely. Tis criticism is not confined to party lines; members of both parties are displeased. This all important paper was re ferred to the proper committees, and in a short time the country will be relieved of the anxiety which has been holding the people in suspense for the past few weeks. To us it looks as if Spain is anxious to avert war and is willing to come to terms, but whether the United States Con gress will let her, remains to be seen. The President admits that the Maine was destroyed from an exter nal cause, but he does not attempt to fix the responsibility upon the Span ish government; nevertheless he thinks that conditions are such, that the Spanish government "cannot as sure safety and security to a vessel of the American navy in the harbor of Havana on a mission of peace, and rightfully there." The outlook is gloomy; one day the doves of peace are flitting about, and perhaps the very next the om inous rattle of the chains of the dogs of war can almost be heard as they are tugging at their strained fastenings attempting to get loose to make for an adversary. If war does come, it will not be the fault of President McKinley, for he has done all in his power to set tle the issue with the pen in stead of the sword. The responsibil ity will be upon the shoulders of the people's representatives, many of whom are misrepresenting their con stituencies. Some men earn their living by selling taffy and others by giving it HAVE LOST GROUN-. Prohibitionists Not as Strong ts They Were-Some Unwise Moves. ColumbiaS. C.,April 11.-The pro hibition conventions have been held in almost all of the counties of the state, and after a close scrutiny of the returns this correspondent does not see any reason to alter the opin ion expressed a few weeks ago that the prohibitionists had played their trumps badly and are in a fair way of suffering a defeat that will surprise them in the coming campaign. In short, it does look as if super-inflation had bursted the balloon of this ele ment in the fight, and something has been heard to drop. The meetings, as a rule, to which there have been very few exceptions, have been slimly attended, and even the urgent appeals to the clergy to make this a "crusade" have failed to raise any marked degree of enthusi asm or action. The dispensary received a little boost during the last few days which cannot fail to send its stock up a few points, and that is the report so many original package dealers withdrawing from the State on the ground that they could not afford the competi tion. Again' many original package men have been strongly suspected of making up "original packages" in their back rooms, and some of these have recently been run down by the sleuth hounds of the law. As an offset to this, however, and a blow equally hard at prohibition is the reported number of blind tigers in the State operating under United States licences, to say nothing of those operating under no license at all. These institutions, it seems, are like the poor, we have them always. Even under the most vigorous administra tion of the dispensary law by the liq uor constables there were probably as many, if not more, blind tigers than there are to-day, which is some what in the nature of an answer to those who urge the machinery of the dispensary law to enforce prohibi tion. The only other plan for regulating liquor sales that will be before the people this summer will be the May field plan, which does away with the State control of liquor and its sales, and while declaring absolute prohibi tion, provides that any community that is determined to have liquor may have it under the dispensary regula tions and restrictions; and, further more, the point regarded as the strongest in the bill is placing the responsibility for a proper control of the traffic on the shoulders of those who have asked for such benefits as may be derived from its sale. This is called the home rule or the local option plan. Unquestionably prohibition has lost ground lately, but whether the strength has gone to the dispensary or not cannot be said. The local op tion plan has not been discussed very much so far, and the people are not ready to accept any new plan without fully understanding it, and without being convinced that it will be an improvement on what now exists. It is generally accepted now that Senator Tillman willl take an active part in the canvass this summer, without openly supporting any can didate, but ostensibly in defense of his pet measure, the dispensary. He will make it warm, but the opponents of that measure contend that all dis cussion of its merits must result in a m>re complete exhibition of its short comings, and thry are not afraid to meet the issue. The presence of Sen ator Tillman in the canvass will call out many hard hitters, who would otherwise take no active part in the fight. Within the last few weeks nearly all of the candidates for Gov ernor have been heard from, all to the effect that they were still in the rig. It has been authoritively stated that Capt. Henry T. Thompson of Darlington will be a candidate for Adjutant and Inspector General and that his announcement would soon be made. Capt. Thompson is a very popular man and will make a good run. The friends of the veteran ser geant-at-arms of the Senate, Col. Floyd, say that they have lost none of their confidence on account of this announcement, however. It has been re-affirmed recently that Hon. H. H. Crum of Bamberg county will be a candidate for Col. Neal's place wvhen the election for Superintendent of the Penitentiary comes round again. Sergeant-at-Arms Stansell of the House of Representatives is keeping himself well in evidence as a candi date for Railroad Commissioner. It is said that there will be several can didates for this office whose names have not yet been mentioned in con nection with it. The office is a good one and the term a very comfortable one. It is prediicted that the prohibition fight will he transferred from the State officers to county campaigns, and that in view of recent develop ments which make a State canvass rather in conflict with Democratic laws and the constitution of the3 party, the candidates for the Legislature will be regired to walk the plank. It is contended by many that even the election of an entire State ticket would accomplish nothing for the cause, with a Legislature opposed to the enactment of prohibition laws. The topics of the week have been the probabilities of a war with Spain and the rebellion at the citadel. Whether the war finally comes or not, one thing has been accomplished by the talk, and that is that the peo ple of America have learned to ap preciate the greatness of their own country more and there has been a revival of patriotism, that is, to say the least, not unfortunate. We have also shown the rest of the world that wvhen it comes to crowing, the Amer ican Eagle is as big a chicken as there is in the barnyard. The demand for a more fitting rec ognition of Gen. Lee is growing, and it is not at all improbable that if he is spared to the country he will loom up as a Presidential candidate of great proportions. Mr. Bryan's friends, while admiring Gen. Lee no less, will not patiently submit to the side-tracking of their candidate. The rebellion at the citadel was a' most deplorable affair. It was not the first of its kind, however, since the reorganization of this institution. A similar affair, though not partak ing of some oi the most serinns phases of this uprising, occurred on very much the same cause about twelve years ago. Both were instan ces of the "Esprit de Corps" gone astray. This sentiment, while gen erally most laudable and productive of the greatest good, and one of the strongest bulwarks for the preserva tion of character, like all good things, is sometimes abused.

Corn that was up has been severely hurt, nearly half of it bein-r cut down, and the cool nights caused insects tTinjure seriously that which remained. No cotton is up, though some seed have germinated and fears are enter tained concerning it. Beans, pota toes, okra, tomatoes and watermelons are about destroyed. Pears, peaches, figs and apples are almost totally de stroyed. Easter was observed here by the combined Sunday schools of the Methodist and Baptist churches. A very appropriate and pretty program was carried out in an excellent man ner by those selected for the purpose. A liberal contribution was made in bebalf of the poor.

CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought TEACHERS' COLUMN. Conducted by Cinrenelon Count y Toacheri' Association. GIST GEE, Jordan, S. C., - Editor. MISS CARRIE LEGG, Workman, S. C., G. T. PuGH, Shiloh, S. C., Associate Editors. At Random. A progressive teacher is dw:tys making new plans and putting them into execution. Running forever in the same old rut makes you oue-sid ed. D3 not confine your reading clas ses to the text book, but use often outside books. Text books will be come tiresome, so use another when possible; select scenes from our stan dard authors, use magazines, and even call attention to the newspappr language. Correct the methods of hlino book and position, stauding "r I ting, in reading as well as the pune tuation, proniunciation, nnd intona tion. There a:e very few good read ers in the worio because they were not trained pnperly in the bein ing. The following are SoIC suzgestions from a Va. teacher: The reading class is usually want ing in interest, but it need not be. I observe a few rules- (1) Never cor rect a pupil while he is reading; wait until he has done. (2) 1 will not allow a pupil to read who stumbles, miscalls, and mispronounces. (3) I do not al low pupils to point out nistakes. I once used to break all of these gre:it rules. MY general process is this: (1) The reading lesson is often-times on ly a paragraph er a stanza. (2) I in sist that they study this so they can utter the words, and half the time look off the book. (3) There may be bard words in the next day's lesson; these I write on the board, and the pupils are exercised in saying them. (4) I use "home-made" charts (men tioned in the Instiute last year), amid on these the hard words are put in columns; the pupils repeat these. (5) I exercise them in sounds. (6) I give sentences to be uttered oratori cally, as,"I stand here for freedom." These always please. Renading The object of teaching is the devel opment of the child mind. Each branch of education brings into play a different set of mental activities: mathematics develops exact reason ing; geography excites latent imnagi nation; history is Pope's "proper study of mankind;" language is the interpreter between man and man, nation and nation, age and succeed ing ages; literature, language refined is the courteous exchange of thought between cultured minds; and poetry, the essence of literature, is the finest thought in the fittest language. Reading is of two kinds, as some one has aptly classitied them; "silent reading," by which tlie thought of the author becomes the thought of the reader, and~ "oral reading," by which the reader transmits the thought of the author to the mind of the listener. Every practical teacher knows that it is far easier to teach the correct pronunciation of a series of words and even to elicit the mechanical empha sis and inflection of the voice, than it is to insure the printing of the pro. per precept npon the sluggish brain or to stir the inert mind to reproduce the concept once formed, and again transmit it to language,-the com mon carrier of thought. "Oral read ing," however mechanically perfect, is but the voice of a human phono graph, unless the "silent reading" which precedes approximates perfec tion. How, then, shall the teacher teach the meaning as well as the pronunc iation and enunciation of words? The advancement of the pupils must be judged to a nicety. The selection must be adapted to the capacity of the class- The limit of time both for study and for recitation must he con sidered. During the study period, pronunciations, definitions, localities and allusions should be carefully looked up. A few well directed questions at the opening of the rec itation period will be sufficient to bring out the main facts of the story in the language of the pupils. A free but brief discussion of geographical, istorical and m thological allusions may follow. Let the work be con versational rather than stereotyped ouestion and answer. Follow this ~y the oral reading, permitting the class to enjoy the thoughts of the au thor and the beauties of expression without the monotonous round of questions concerning the place and reason. Knowledge of men is the compre hension and appreciation of mind by mind; then let the pupil "know the author" not through some brief his torical sketch and outside criticism or eulogy, but by direct communica tion with the author's best thought so far as the pupil can appreciate it . Realizing in some measure the sublimities of thought and language in the poem selected for his class, the teacher stands before the little band in which it is his duty and plea sure to awaken the dormant soul; too often the sleep is not the sleep of the healthy growing child-mind, but the spirit rests dull and stupefied by the wide-spread narcotics of the intellect,: light novels and sensational papers. To raise the standard of appreciation is the teacher's work.I Expressionless faces gaze blankly at the selection and the teacher's heart, if not his face, reflects the blankness of that look. How shall the teacher bring the beauties of thought within the child's capacity? How can he develop that capacity for receiving? He can be ready to meet the needs of the case only'when his own mental picture is clear. For every page, yes, for every line, there is a thought clear and dis tinct of the author's. Let the teach er's "silent reading" be perfect and' the author's thought become the teacher's thought; then, and only then, is he ready to help each mem ber of the class to form a like concept for himnself.-Selected.
