LET US ENDORSE HD1.
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.

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.
