vears. At that time it was necessary to do much political work to carry the election Democratic, and I was active in every campaign, not only .oing myself, but putting a red shirt on each of my hands that I could in duce to ride a mule in the parades. In this way I became conspicuous, and Mr. Appelt has attributed my zeal to carry the election to desire for office. Once during the six years I was voted for in a preliminary pri mary. held in the Salem section of the county for Representative and was the choice of the Salem, but was (although I had filed a pledge to abide the result of the primary) never a candidate before the people of the whole county for any office. I was never nominated for any of fice, (except as above) never voted for to fill any office and intimated to a living soul that I wished to be elect ed to any office. I had about as much business as I could attend to of my own without meddling with office. Yours sincerely, JoEL.E. BRUNSoN. The above letter might be desig nated an ingenious construction, in that it goes far beyond the date of the matters and things under discus sion; it rakes in an opportunity for advertising a duty performed. Mr. Brunson's public career referred to by us was when he was regarded an officeseeker and not when it required "much political work to carry the election Democratic." In 187G and 1S7S it did require "much political work to carry the election Demo cratic," and we do not doubt that Mr. Brunson "was very active in every campaign," because nearly every white man in the county was "very active in every campaign," and some went so far for the cause of "white man's rule" that they took the risks of federal prisons. Wc do not re member the extent of Mr. Brunson's activity, but we do remember some of his neighbors were dragged before the United States court for their ac tivity and Mr. Brunson was not one of these. Mr. Brunson knows or should know, that we alluded to sub sequent years when it did not require "much political work to carry the election Democratic," and his con duct in those days created the im pression that he was seeking an office. Mr. Brunson may be correct whzen he says, "I had about as m ch busi ness as I could attend to of my own without meddling with office," but all the same he found plenty of time to attend the executive committee meetings, conventions and public gatherings. If he had so much busi ness of his own it did not receive his attention at that time. Our readers know full well that it did not require "much political work to carry the election Demccratic in 1880-2-4, for the entire government was in Demoer-atic control and it was then a matter of choice between Democrats. Of course we could not then, and cannot today, read the mo tives which prompt a man, and the only way for us to judge is from his conduct. Brunson's conduct was such as to create the impression with the people that he wante" office and wanted it bad. He he~L a right to seek office, but his friends should not mislead the people by saying that their candidate has never had any thing to do with politics. Mr. Brunson insists that he never sought office and we, judging entirely from his own conduct, and the con duct of his friends, believed then that he was an officeseeker, and we are not convinced to the contrary yet. Mr. Brunson insists he was the choice of the people of Salem in that pre liminary primary and our impression is that he was defeated, and that badly, by Dr. I. M. Woods. We re gret there is no record to refer to, and in the absence of such we con sulted some of the participants in that election; they say we are correct. However, it matters not wvho is cor rect, it is simply a question of memo ory and not material Mr. Brunson's personal character nor his methods of doing business has not been attacked by us, we have only replied to repreeniations mnade by Mr. Brunson's friends, which we regard calculated to mislead the public where the man is not known. His friends claim that he never has had anything to do with politics, which is incorrect, as his own letter shows; they' also claim that he is one of the largest sash and blind manu facturers and mill owners in the State, which is also incorrect. We would not misrepresent Mr. Brunson and he is at liberty to use our col umns whenever he feels that we have wronged him, and should he convince us that we have misrepresented him he will find us anxious to do the proper thing; at the same time, since be has re-entered politics his public career is op~en for discussion and crit icism, and we propose to take all leg itimate advantage of it. We are certainly at a loss to under stand Mr. Brunson's meaning when be says "Iamn in such a position that' I cannot reply through his sheet." Mr. Brunson did not talk that way to us wvhen we had a talk with him on the train. He invited us to a seat beside him and his language was Appelt you did me an injustice when iou said in your paper that I had been a persistant seeker for office ntil the hope of gratifying his am ition was so forlorn that he was forced to give it up,' and I know you xe not the maan to wrong auother ntentionally.

The present outlook, is for this country becoming involved iuto se rious complications with France, which may be followed by other na tions taking a hand in the struggle. We have every confidence in the suc cess of Uncle Sam's arms if he is only to fight Spain or even France and Spain, but should Russia, Austria and Italy join France and Spain we fear a long and disastrous war. From the very outset there has been a suspi cious activity among the French and it is said an anti-American feeling is very strong throughout that nation. The government has been putting its ships upon a war footing and there seems to be a desire to aid Spain. On the other hand, if these nations jump in to help Spain we have as surances from England and Japan to come to our rescue. There is not at this writing any way to foretell the outcome; much depends upon the successful destruction of the Spanish fleet now making for our coast. If Sampson lets the Spaniards get over here it is our belief that the Presi dent will have to make another call for volunteers, and if these do not respond then conscription will be Sampson's "little punishment" of the Spaniards at San Juan does not come with any great degree of en thusiasm and many believe he found things altogether too warm for comn fort and was forced to retire; the bat tle off Cienfuegos was a defeat for the Americans and was the result of foolhardiness, so much so that the war department may investigate the ease. It is rather a remarkable co incidence that the first man killed in Cuba while fighting beneath the folds of the Stars and Stripes was En sign Bagley a Southern man and the son of a confederate veteran. This baptism of "Old Glory" in Southern blood should forever obliterate sec tional lines and be the tie that binds forever and ever. The government 's pushing its force toward Cuba as last as possible and just as soon as ?he outcome of our next naval battle becomes known the cry of "on to Cuba" will ring throughout the land. South Carolina has about secured quota of men; the work is slow, on account of the rigid examinations. Companies which entered camp with over one hundred men were reduced to fifty and they were forced to re cruit; the work of recruiting is stead ily going on. 2000 volunteers passed through Charleston last Sunday en route to Tampa, they came from New York and Massaebusetts and com mondore Schley's flying squadron was off Charleston and made a brief stop for orders and proceeded South ward. LIN SAMPISON!LIKE, WE WASTE AMMU We notice that Mr. Joel EC. Brun-; son, candidate for Governor on the ticket comXposed of Prohibitionists and Dispensaryites, recently nomi nated by the Prohibition convention, has a letter in last week's Sumter Freeman in which he thanks the edi tor of the Freeman for defending him against the "slanderous state ments of Mr. Appelt." Continuing Mr. Brunson says: "I am in such a position that I cannot reply through his sheet." We do not know of any position~ Mr. Brunson is in, which prevents~ him from replying through ("his sheet") THE TIMES, for it is a well known rule of this paper to throw open its columns to any man who has been attacked therein, and we per sonally gave Mr. Brunson this assur ance by saying to him if he would write a denial of any assertion made by us, we would publish the same with pleasure. Fair play is our mot to, and we will not consciously take advantage of an opponent. Although not so requested, Mr. Brunson's let ter is herewith reproduced that our readers may understand the contra versy: Kingstree, S. C.. May 10. 18%.m E. F. Mil-r, Esq., Sumter, S. C. Dear Sir: I write to thank you for defending me .against the slanderous statements of Mr. Appelt. I am in such position that I eanmnor reply .through his sheet. personal ill towards you and what I have stated is what I believe to be the truth, however if you will write out a statement I wiil .ive it space with pleasure." From this it does not appear that Brunson regarded himself in need, of defence "against slauderous statements made by Mr. Appelt," if he did his conduct did not indicate it. There was absolutely noth ing in his demeanor which indicated to us that he was in "such a position that"l he could. not "reply through" this sheet. It further appears froi Mr. Brunson's words and manner that he knew us well enough to know we would not purposely falsify his re cord. There are some men who will vote the Prohibition ticket because it is called a Prohibition ticket. To these we would suggest that the present Prohibition ticket is in fact an anti Prohibition affair, because a majority of those nominated are the handi work of juggling politicians who fooled the convention. There were Spaniards in that camp. If the Sumter Freeman will do us the justice to publish our editorial in full we have no objection to any crit icism it might make and will make such reply as fair journalism per mits, but we cannot afford to make reply to an editor who will chop our editorial in pieces and by placing some of the fragments together puts us iu a wrong position before his readers. Such tactics is not our idea of fair journalism and we cannot be taunted into a controversy with those who resort to such methods. It was indeed gratifying to us to see that Colleton has honored her worthy son with an endorsement for Railroad Commissioner. Charles W. Garris of Colleton if elected to the office of RaIlroad Commissioner will fill the position in a manner to be gratifying to his friends. Mr. Garris is a man of the people, broad-minded and conservative in his views. He has for a number of terms been a leading light in our State Legislature and his counsel has been sought by men of both factions. In the past he has been allied with the Reform fac tion and when that faction accom plished its purposes he was among the first to propose the obliteration of factional lines. His career as a law maker has won for him the esteem and confidence of his colleagues and the admiration of those who watch the work of our public men. Ex-Governor John Gary Evans permitted himself interviewed in Washington last MIonday, and while his friends are gratified at his pros pects for a fine millitary appointment, they cannot help but feel a disgust at his weak attempt to place Gover nor Ellerbe in a prejudiced position before the war department. Gover nor Evans evidently has been hypno tized by some of the News and Cou rier's editorials and jumped upon our governor for mobilizing the troops at Columbia, and charges the governor with playing politics. Evans boldly championed Charleston as the prop er place when too late to help that city. It would1 seem to us a very undignified performance in a defeat ed candidate for civil honors in his home State, slipping up to Washing ton to play the "Do-Do" to secure millitary shoulder straps. But it is his nature and perhaps he cannot help it. No man in public life in South Carolina has been more misun derstood and maligned than Gov ernor Ellerbe, and all because he was determined to be the Gover nor not alone of the whole peo ple, but Governor in fact, instead of through men who desired to run the government for him, and now, that the peoplZ hare found ont the opposition to tbe Governor wa3 brought about, by his disappoint ing politicians and that all of his acts were with an eye single to the best interests of the State; they have turned upon the Governor's malign ers and put them to route. Ever since the adjournment of the Legis lature Governor Ellerbe has been gradually gaining ground among the people, and since the decision of the United States Supreme Court in fa vor of the Dispensary law there is a scramble among the politicians to jump into the Ellerbe baud wagon, and it is conceded among those who have fought the Governor that unless some unforeseen accident occurs be tween nov and the primary he will be elected on the first ballot over whelmingly.

Few outside of military, naval and other official circles, have any just conception of the appalling cost of modern warfare, especially when large naval operations are involved. Our civil war cost the nation about four millions per day during the last year of the conflict, but we had a mil lion men in the army and navy, or nearly ten times as many as will be employed in the present war with Spain, and our money was depreciat ed an average of 40 per cent. The cost of a first-class modern war vessel is $4,000,000 in round numbers, but the cost of equipping and using such a vessel in warfare surpasses all general calculations. A single twelve-inch gun costs about $50,000 when placed on the ship ready for action. The maximum ca pacity of this immense war engine i: eighty shots; the minimum thir'y It is not safe to count on these guns firing more than fifty rounds. 'The intense heat and strain are likely tc make the gun useless any time after thirty to eighty rounds are fired froa it, after which it is valuable only as old steel. The cost in wear and .eat in firing these guns may be safely estimated at $1,000 foi every dis charge. in addition to the cost of $1,00( for every round fired from these gun in wear and tear, the powder and steel-pointed missle with which the gun is loaded, cost the government $1,000 every time the gun is fired It is a safe estimate to say that every time a twelve-inch gun is fired in war the cost is about $2,500. Our war vessels and cruisers are each supplied with torpedoes and pneumatic tubes from which to dis charge them against an enemy. They are effective at about 800 yards, and the torpedo with which the air gun is charged is one of the most delicate and complicated machines of modert times. It is constructed with a re volving attachment at the rear, nol only to guide it on its deadly missior through the water but to accelerate its movement, and it is exploded by concussion. One of these torpedo,es striking the biggest ship in any navy would entirely destroy the vessel hese torpedoes cost $2,5000 for each one. The cost of ammunition for our land forces has also been increased probably tenfold. One pound of lead costing only a few cents, would make sixteen cartridges for rifle used it our civil war To-day the cartridges used by our infantry cost little if any less than ten cents each. With a modern gun these little missiles car ry three miles, and 4t a range of a mile they will go clear through three men, and probably more if they are not too greatly obstructed by borina clean holes through bones of the hu. man anatomy. They are much light er than the old cartridge, and the soldier will carry one hundred rounds with the same ease than the soldier of our civil war carried forty. The cost of cartridges for an efficient rifie man in action now would be about $1 per minute. As the war with Spain is likely tc be chiefly a naval war, it is well worti considering how much the war wil cost Spain. The figures we have giv en as the cost of constucting and us ing vessels in war, are on the gold basis. American four per cents sel: at about 118; Spanish four per cents sell at about thirty-three, or one-third less than their face. Thus while it will cost our goveru ment $4,000,000 to construct and equip a battle-ship, and $2,500 foi every round fired from one of our large guns, and S2,500 for every tor pedo we hurl against the enemy, the cost to Spain is just three times the amount of the cost of the same to the United States. Vessels and munitions of war car be obtained only on the gold basis and every round fired from the Span ish twelve-inch gun must cost thai government not less than $7,500, and every torpedo sent on its mission o: death from a Spanish boat must cosl a like sum. Spain is now enjoying the luxury of cheap money that is demanded by many dem.agogue~s it our own country, and sI pays. foi the luxury in trebling the cost 0o every s':ot they fire against theii foe, Tho presen2t war' with Spain wvill be the most costly war of any time. However brief it may be, our comn prehensive preparations for it will count tip in the hundreds of millions, and if it shall continue for a year, its aggregate cost will probably~ not be less than $1,000,000,000 and may be more. In short, modern warfare is the most costly savage-ry in the his tory of the world.-Philadelpior Times. Bucklenr' Arnica Salve.

At this time when all are espi y interested in what is taking p i the neighborhood of Cuba, anl all are anxious to know whatc e of action is to be pursued L.; the two countries, United States and 1paiu. it is of great iwportance to see that the young minds of our coun!y are awake to the things taking place around them, and that they are ready fn learn from that "public educator, the i.ewspaper, the course of these affairs. And not only to this Cubau affair, but also to all affairs of public interest ought the minds of our yoith be directed. One way to awaken inteiest iu current events is to have exercises written upon the affairs of note from time to time. In order to become well posted upon the subject in hand the pupil will have recourse to the newspaper. His interest being thus awakened, it is probable that he will take pleasure in following up affairs of public interest as they are por trayed in the papers. In the school-roow, almost every day brings out occasions for discus sions of public events. There are also occasions when pupils may well spend the time reading newspapers an hour or a half-hour during the day when text-book work is not so pressing. But the great trouble is to procure newspapers for use in the school-room. Without doubt the: editors of our county papers would furnish our schools with copies of their papers, if the teachers would give them, in return for their kind ness, the news of school and comn mu- I nity. That, however, would supply only a part of what is needful. For its success, the reading course must, of necessity, contain a daily or two, and the procuring of these would be a more difficult matter. But, teach ers, let us make an effort that our pupils be well posted on current events. It would doubtless be profitable to set aside one afternoon in the week to discuss the affairs that have been read about, provided, of course, that all have the opportunity of read ing-the discussion to be conducted by the teacher, but all pupils encour aged to take a part therein. I feel that, if this plan could be carried out in all of our schools, we would have a more enlightened citizenship in days to come. - Intelligont Reading. The teacher notices the readiness with which a pupil talks, and the slowness with which he reads with wonder; sometimes with irritation. Let him stop and consider the cause. From the moment the child is born the audible sign of ideas is put be fore it. A parent tells that it noticed when she said ,'-Mary, bring the ba-I by's milk," it started, and showed comprehension, though only two weeks old. The child is immersed in these audible signs and soon learns to use them. But how is it with thbe visble sig~ns? Note the difference. Nothing iscidone with these until the child goes to school-say is six years of age. Then a little only is done each day. The child appears before the teacher with a book, and names some of these vis ible signs. The book is shut. The child returns to his seat, and all Lis experience with visible signs is laid aside. How different f:-om his exper ience with audible signs! Evidently the same procedure must be taken with visible as with - audible signs. Printed names e f objects must be given to him, and he fasten them to the object. Games must be played with visible signs until he has acquired several hun dred. With a suitable apparatus, this could be done before he goes tc school. Here is a new field of learn ing for the child that is to be planned out for the mother-which she will enjoy as well as the child.-Selected. A school was visited, and the so perintendent noted that, at times, one pupil whispered to another. The teacher said lhe objected to a whisper only when it obstucted the business of the school; that he sim ply followed the course a clergym an~ does in church, considering~ it as a breach of good man cers It took some days to accustom a rnew school to the liberty of speech, but after they had got accustomed, tiere was little difficulty-. The next school the superintendent visited wvas of another sort. "Please, may I speak?"' was heard at frequent intervals. Often the reply was, "No, you are all the time talking." Prcqbbly this Iast teach ar knew no better way.~-Select-I ed. Are you teaching from choice or necessity? If from the latter, the chances are tEn to one that you will be unsuccessful. The personality of the teacher counts for much. Cultivate personalj magnetism if you wish to aid vour pupils. Advances in the teaching profes sion are constantly being made. The' successful teacher is he who keeps himself posted on these andl applies these advanced ideas in his work.
