When Governor Ellerbe was a can (idates in 1896 the people without regard to faction voted for him, look ing to Lim to be the means of oblit erating factional lines. He was elect ed with an immense majority and upon tal;ing charge of the government he promised to be the governor of the whole people, that he would re cognize no faction and would endeav or to bring the white people together in harmony. It is admitted by friend and foe that Ellerbe's Administration has been clean, honest, economical and able; his opponents on the Reform side complain that he has by his conservative courpe made it more dif ficult for what is termed the "wool hat boys" to get office and that it is possible for Conservatives, to have a show in the political arena. The Con servatives, on the other hand com plain, because a few of them have been recognized and those few are such as were corservative in fact as well as in name, and that the fellows who raved and "cussed" Tillman and the Reformers were given nothing. Governor Ellerbe had a difficult task to perform and there is no bet ter proof that he was successful in the performance of this delicate task than the present number of candidates for office, from what was known as the Conservative faction; so it is seen that by faithfully carrying out his promise to recognize no faction, he has made it possible for men to run for office, without any resort to fac tional lines. And further, it must strike the intelligent reader forcibly, that Ellerbe has faithfully endeav ored to wipe out factional lines in or der that men could be elected to of fice upon their qualifications, by the fact that none of the campaigners, State or county, have so far made any effort to hoist the factional flag. We therefore contend that llerbe is entitled to the votes of every man in South Carolina who was desirous of peace and harmcny in the Demo cratic ranks. To vote against Ellerbe is to repudiate his course, and it may possibly be take~n as a wishi to re-open the old sores; it will leave room for the Reformers to say:- the Conserva tives preach peace and unity, the do ing away with factional iines,but prac tice a closer factional alliance in order to deceive the Reformers. Let us not have such a condition of distrust, and if~ Governor Ellerbe has gtiven the State of South Carolina an honest administration and carried out his pledges, as we believe he has, he merits our votes and should be en dorsed with a heavy majority. LOOK TO THE SCHlOOLS. One of the most important matters for the consideration of those whom the people honor to represent themi in the coming General Assembly, is the school question. The liquor and all other questions pale into insignifi cnce beside this one important mat ter. What is to become of the educa tional interests if our representatives are not called upon to look after them? Here we are up to our necks in a campaign and the voters are asked to support certain men for high position; and we are yet to hear the school system discussed. It matters not who is elected, the men thus honored ought to give the matter of improving our school sys tem diligent study, for the vitality of our government depends upon the education of the people and we be lieve a scheme can be devolved by which this State can give its people a better systei of public schools than they are receiving at present, without the increasing of taxes. In our opin ion, there is a suflicient sum of mon ey collected for school purposes to run the schools eight months in the year, and if it is not done it is be cause the same is managed in a bung ling and cumbersome manner. We believe the same amount of money managed as a successful business man handles his private business, would give us a fine systenm of free schools instead of what we do get. So, instend of going daft on the Dis pensary or Prohibition, and making that secondary question first, let us make the schools the uppet most ques tion and let side issues come after wvards. We ask the question, Is our State tion as they shoult have for the amount of taxes collected? If not, whi; not- This is more importanl, it Atrikes us. tLan the running after shadows like -Prohibition." Do the teachers employed in the public schools teach? is another matter needing investigation. The marking out of lessons for children to recite is not teachirg, and it is not What the taxpayers expot. but ncvertheless in I manY instances it. is all they ' get. There should be some way of ascer taMining a teacher's qualitications he fore he is employed in the public schools. It is true they are required to staud an examination, if they are not graduates of a college, but this 'is not a fair test. An applicant to teach may have a diploma from Yale or Harvard and be no more qualified to teach children than a blacksmith wouhl be to make watches, and we regret to say it. however it is true, there are many men and women now drawing money from the school funds for t ehing, who are failures and are actually impediments in the way of a child's search for learning. These people should not have certificates to teach. Where is the blame for such a condition? It is in the present Cum bersome system. There are too many so-called schools; a young man seeking a profession teaches school to make enough money to put him through college; that man has no idea of making teaching a profession and his heart is not in the work and his work is therefore mechanical; there is no congeniality between his mind and the minds of his scholars; the result is inditlerence on the part of the teacher and carelessness on the part of the child, and the consequen ces are fatal to the child. If a preacher stood in his pulpit and preached for so many dollars per month and his heart and soul was not in his work, the congregation would soon discover it, and another would be called; if a clerk in a store work ed meahanicaly, and did not take an interest in his employers affairs he would soon be out of a job. Then why should not the same apply to our schools? It is said that some new fad strikes us every few years, suppose we become "faddy" on the subject of improvement of our public schools that our children may not suffer from our neglect. It really does seem as though the News and Courier has degenerated into a sewer to receive and carry off the filth which flows from the Colum bia Record. Ever since the political canmpaignl opened, with a wonderful alacrity the News and Courier has reproduced every little insinuation, charge nithout proof, sneer and fling appearing in that little afternoon bil ions sheet against the Governor. The animus for all this is accounted for by Governor Ellerbe refusing to allow the News and Courier to dictate his policy, and the peo ple throughout the State understand it. That paper has never been in touch or sympathy with the people, it has gone up stream upon all ques tions which effect the people; in the last National campaign it opposed the Democratic party and now has the impertinence to claim a voice in its couneils. The News and Couaier :ay retain its political stanlhng 'with Charleston, because that city is in the clutch of at "Tam many" with no Park hurst to expose its rottenness, but the day is coming when the good people of the city, will rise in their might and turn a cleansing flow into the Augean stables and rid themselves of the corruption wvhich has accum ulated for years. To do this they vill appeal for ai-1 to their sympathi zing brethern in the country, and there will be such legislation which will release the clutch unscrupulous politicians, have upon the proud old !citv. The day is not far distant when the people of Charleston will realize that their only morning newspaper is an ob:;tcle to their progress and that it ifast buildn a wall around the ciy and turning the rural trade from its gates. It is a pity that prejudice can close the eyes of the News and Courier against its own and the city's interests. $100 1EWA RD $100.

The people of the United States owe Colonel Theodore lRoosevelt, of iRougi Riders' fame' a debi of grati tude, not only for his physical cour age in battle before Santiago de Cuba, wheree so gallantly led his comnui-nnd against a mnostg4n andI deadly' tire, but equ .' for itis moral coura'ge in throw ing the lid:$t of pub liitt upon the inner state of aflelirs in o.ur army at Santiago. That pe euliar charaeteristic of hi, which will not allow him to mnince matters but requires him to meet them boldly with a strong hand has caused con sternation in ofileial circles around the war department at Washington. And although the Secretary of War has tried to use a nne Italian hand in parrying off the telling force of Roose velt's rapier, it has evidently cut to the quick; for, while the department was listle;ssly allowing aill of our men at Sar.tiago de Cuba to be taken off by that fell destroyer, yellow fever, before Roosevelt took a hand in deal ing with the situation, it is now nov ing heaven and earth to get all of General Shafter's army away from Santiago as soon as possible. But, at the same time, an effort is being made to show that Roosevelt's letter had absolutely nothing to do with the present aciivity of the department, although it is bewailing the fact that the true state of our affairs down there has become public. The de partment has taken the turn of re crimination, and the Secretary of War hopes to discipline the irrepress ible "Teddy" by his rather caustic and rebuking letter in response to what proves to have been a personal, pri vate, confidential letter of "Teddy's" to his chief, the irascible Secretary himself. "Teddy's" letter had the desired effect all the same, and it has cut like a two-edged sword; it has placed the Administration before the country in a very ugly light to say the least of it; and it has called such pointed and favorable attention to "Teddy" just at this critical time in New York politics where there seems to be a formidable and steadily grow ing sentiment in favor of nominating the irrepressible "Teddy" for Gover nor to lead the anti-Platt forces, that the Administration felt called upon to try and hellp Platt to crush the irrepressible "Teddy." But, from present indications, "Teddy" will do the crushing act himself-not with a hatchet, but with his manly, honor able and patriotic letter, telling the American people how their brave soldier boys are being so grossly neg lected (in'the interest of some pet of the Administration who has succeed ed in cornering a big contract) that they are dying like fies-only one out of every ten of our men in Cuba being, at d'ate of last report, fit for any sort of military duty. .But that is neither all nor the worst of it. Our Government is not only starving and grossly neglecting our own troops in Cuba who have given teir services to their Government in its philanthropie mission of freein~g Cuba, whijle ostensibly feeding the dying recontceutrados, but it is treat ing our home volunteers who have not been allowed to leave their na tive shores just as badly. The man agement of Camp Alger is a stench in the nostrils of the public-It has been a burning disgrace to the American Government. It is wrong, at any time, for aGovernment to ask men to leave their daily walks and occu ations, their home comforts and faiiiv associatio:,s and render ser ice to the publie, andl fail to give them the best treatment possible ur. der military operations; but, when such favors are requested for a Don Quixote mission(such as the present war has been') it becomes hyproci-y f the worst dye for a Government to go to war for the ostensible purpose of freeing somebody~ away fro-n, home, call upon its good, useful and loyal citizens to volunteer their services and risk lives for their countri's lhon or-only to learn that their country is so small that it will allow them to be neglected, defrauded and starved almost to death in order that some scoundrel (wvho has been favored with a big contract to provide the m with food, usedicines, etc.) may make a fabulous sum ont of it.
