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

WAR.
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

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.

'I he Startling Cost of War.
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

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.
Rieading enlarges a teacher's ideas,
brings his work into comparison with
that cf others, inpires him. with a~
greater zeal for his work; in short'
puis new life into the work of the .
scol-om The menwwho read,
stuy, hik ae te rowngmen
*of our day. Are you among that
numbei?
Success is the reward of diligent
labor. Let no teacher dream that it
comes in other way.
There are three parties irvolved
in the work of the schiool-room, th1e
teacher, the pupil, and the parent.
Let the teacher try ever so har' un
less he has the sympathy and co-oper
ation of both he eaum accomplish lit
