The war is Lot over yet, accoidiig to the associated press lispatches. The Insurgent forces near Manila opened fhe upon the Americans last saturday night and killed twenty of our soldiers and wounded about one hundred and twenty-five. It must have been a very serious confliet, as the,naval forces under Dewey were brought in to aid the troops. The firing began at night and was re newed at dawn with favorable results for the American arms. The Fili pinos do not intend to permit the United States to take ebarge of their country without resistance, and while it is believed that they will have to submit eventually, we fear they will be able to make the project cost us much blood and treasure. The Legislature has done the prop er thing in repealing the Metropoli tan police act. The law was enacted for a political measure to aid in the enforcement of the Dispensary law; and in our judgment it failed in its pirpose, and further, it drove from support an element needed. When the Metropolitan force was removed the prejudice had become so deep seated that it will take a considerable amount of healing salve to heal the wounds inflicted by the Metropolitan police measure. Charleston for N ears, has kept a wall of prejudice around her and voluntary excluded herself from the rest of the State; at last she has seen the foolishmess of such con duct and she proposes to again be come a part of thc State, and when it was proposed to take from the Statute books a law that was abnox ious to her there was only one dis senting voice in the State Senate, and the voices of men who had ad vocated the placing of the law upon Charleston were heard advocating the wiping it off the Stature boioks. It is gone now autl we hope there will never be a necessity for such a law to be place.l back. Capital Correspondenlce. Another week of legislation gone without a single thing done which affects the general good as far as I can see, and although the general assembly has had morning and night sessions and a great mass of work done it principally consisted of mat ters of local import or benefiting rail roads, or other corporations. The legal fraternity did a great deal of patching on the General Statutes. Hon I. M. Woods was forced to re turn home on account of illness, and Hon. (5. R. Jones has been at home confined by sickness ever since the second week of the session. Doctor WVoods' bill to exempt cer tain;portions of the county from the operations of the stock law passe I the house, and on reaching the Sen ate it was refered to the Agricultural Committee; there it struck a statu tory snag and was reported unfavor ably on the ground that the Statutes prohibit the General Assembly from enacting such a law until a majority of the free-holders !iving in the com munity asking for exemption have petitioned for it. The act is as fol lows: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina. now met and setting in General Assemnbly,and by authority of the same; That no Bill perportinag to amend or alter the law regulating the fencing of stock in any portion of the State shall be considered unless the same be ac companied by a petition for such amendment or alteration signed by a majority of the freeholders of the section 'to be effected by such amend ment. Approved December, 23-rd, 189. There not having been a petition of the freeholders, the Senate was compelled to kill the bill. A bill presented from the Darling ton delegation fixing a schedule of tobacco warehouse charges created lively discussion, and it finally pass ed the house with several counties exempted from its operations, among them was Clarendon, at the request of Hon. H. B. Richardson, who stated that he was not familiar with the tobacco interests and was ignor ant of the effect such a~ law would have upon the tobacco interests of tnis county, and as he had not been advised by any o! his constituents or approached on the matter, he would err on the safe side and have Clarendon exempted from the prov isions of the act, unti! he could con fer with those familiar with the sub ject. Since then he has received ad vices from some of those engaged in the cultivation of the weed, and in formed the Senator of his advices, so when the bill comes up for consider ation in the Senate, Clarendon will have the exemption removed and will be among the counties of Dar lington and Florence where the law applies. The act is as follows: Section 1. That the charges and expenses of handling and selling leaf tobacco upon the floor of tobacco warehouses in this State shall not exceed the following schedule of prices, to wit: For ~auctiou fees, fifteen (15) cents on all piles of one hundred pounds or less, and twenty ive (2.5) cents on all piles of over one hundred pounds and less than two ,ents per pile for piles or two hun red and tifty pounds or over. For t xeighing and handling, ten (10) cents t :)er piie for all piles of less than ona iundred pounds; for all piles of over ] >ne hundred pounds at the rate of i ten (10) cents per hundred pounds: , or commission on the gross sales of " eaf tobacco in said warehouses not 1 to exceed two and one-half per cen tum. See. 2. That the proprietor of each and every warehouse shall render to each seller of tobacco, at his ware- a house. a bill plainly stating the amount charged for weighing and handling, the amounts charged for auction fees, and the commission charged on such sale, and it shall be unlawfull for any other charges or fees exceeding those herein named to he made or accepted: Provided, That the provisions of this act shall not ap ply to the counties of Marion, Horry, Sumter, Clarendon, Pickens and Chesterfield. Sec. 3. That for each and every violation of the provisions of this act a penalty of ten dollars shall be enforced, and the same may be re covered by any person so offended. Sec. 4. That thisact shall go into effect immediately upon its approval. Clarendon's Senator voted to re peal the Metropolitan police act for the reason as lie stated upon the floor, that the law was obnoxious to the people of that city, and the ne cessity for it does not any longer ex ist. The bill to exempt factories from taxation for a term of five years was killrd in the Senate and Clarendon's r,; resentative was among those who .ilped to kill it. He did not believe it was right to exempt a class of peo ple from sharing the burdens of tax ation when a still larger and poorer class were forced to pay taxes. He put himself in the position, if the bill was going to pass to add an amend ment to make the act apply also to those engaging in the cultivation of tobacco, but as the vote on the sec ond reading showed clearly it would be killed, the opportunity for his amendment did not arise. Governor Ellerbe has been extrem lv ill and fears were entertained for his recovery, but we are now glad to say that lie is much better and hope he will soon be at his post again. The prospect for a short session grows less every day, and it is still hard to say when the end will come. All of the legis lators are anxious to tinish up and go home, but the flood of bills has been al most unprecedented. It has often been said that the present general assembly is the strongest body ot men that has assembled in Columbia for many years, but we cannot agree with those making the assertion, because when we look around us and see who are filling the seats of men like Simonton. Simons, Gary, Buchanan, Tindal, Rhame, Pope. Jones, Finley, Wilson, McLaurin and others we haveicome to the c.onclusion tiat other assemblies have been composed of stronger naterial. Trhere is one thing to be said to the credit of the present body, that is the total obliteration of factional feeling;every man acts and thinks forhim self, and all with a desire to work for the best interests of the State. Tiue great battles are yet to come; in the house the privilege tax fight is over, and it will come over into to the Senate for final action. The opponents of Clemson have made a desperate tight tu cripple the institation by forcing appropriations di rect from the treasury; what the Senate will do remains for the near future to decide. The redistricting bill comes up this week and we believe it wi:l disappoint those who are desiring to carve out Con gressional berths. The proposition to force upon the peo ple two additional circuit judges has met its deserved doom, and the aspirants for jdicial honors will have to wait until the compexion of the Assembly changes. As we stated in a previous letter, our county supervisor has the mnoney in his hands to pay cash for bridge work and diet ing prisoners; this money is not, nor should it be used for the paying of salaries; 'and we feel sore if the mnoney is used as the delegation intended it, and fixed in te supply bill, there will be considentble saving to the people. On accont of salesday the Senate took a recess Saturday until Tuesday night and the Houise until llonday night; Claren don's Senator obiected to the recess ntil Tuesday night, bhnt the majority conten ed that the Senate ea'endar was cle-aredl, and as nytn of the Sentitors lived in tiie i-country they couIld noIt spend sMtesda. at home and return before Tuesday njnlht Washimgton Letter. (From orur Regular Correspondent.) Washington, Feb. 3.-'ien. Miles has stirred up the administration menagerie and frightened the war investigating commission by again charging that embalned beef was issued to our soldiers. Secretary Al ger would like to have Miles court uartialed, but lie is afraid to do so, even if Mr. McKinley would consent, because he knows that would give Miles an opportunity to prove his charge, and that is just what Miles wants. The positive assertion of Miles that lhe has abundant proof that the beef was embalmed has greatly disturbed the war investiga ting commission, which had about completed its report declaring that no embalmed beef was furnished the army. it is now a little bit afraid to make its report so strong in favor~ of the beef contractors. This thing isn't over by a jugfull. it is now believed that a sufficient number of Senators who were inclin ed to vote against the treaty will con tent themselves with the adoption of the resolution declaring that the treaty does not commit us to reten tion of the Philippines to result in the ratification of the treaty, Mon day. Sobody had any cause to be sur prised when the bill authorizing the increase of the regular army to 100, 000 men was passed by the House by a fote of 168 to 125. Four democrats and one populist voted for the bill and six republicans voted against it. The hiumbuggery of the amendmient giving the President authority, in his discretion, to reduce the army to 50,000 men was fully exposed by the democrats before the bill was jam med through under orders from the White House. it is Mr. McKinley who is clamoring for a standing army of 100,000; consequently nobody will expect him to voluntarily make the number smaller. Just before the bill was passed a shrewd move was made to add to its strength in the Senate, by the adoption of an amend ment for the abolishment of the army "canteen." For several years the temperance and reform organizations of the country have been asking Con gress to do away with the~eanteen," but their requests have been ignor ed until now, when their influence is needed to get the Senate to agree to a standing army of 100,000 men. The republican leaders are about as slick as they make them, when it comes to manipulating legislation. The Hull bill for the perpetuation of the gold standard, the retirement of the greenbacks, and other pur poses, has been favorably reported to the House from the Coinage com mittee, under pressure from the gold standard men who have been de manding financial legislation, but, easy as it ought to .e for the repub licans to put the bill through the House, it is very doubtful whether they do it. Representative Handy, of Del., has filed the minority committee report against the Hanna-*Payne shiippiorg bill, and it is a stinger. WVords are not minced, but the bounties pro vided for by the bill are named for just what they are, personal grabs into the people's money. Of the cost, the report says: "By a careful and conservative estimate we iind that he gernnment will be lhigntad by he contracts likely to be entered in o during the first twelve months inder this bill to pay bounties Lmounted to more than $165,000,000. ts concluding words are:" This bill s the offspring of mere bounty beg rars and should be repudiated by .epresntatives of hoth political par :ies. It is vicious in principle. It is aot necessary for the rehabilitation >f our mercllnt marine to give hun Ireds of millions of the people's tax; noney. The bill is wholly unjustiti-! tble..I When the Ambassador of a foreign .ountry allows himself to be inter viewed for publication, it is generally to help the government of the coun try he represents to carry out some pl'an. Consequently there is much euriosity in Washington since the (erman Ambassador declared in a published interview that Germany would not interfere with the plans of the U. S. in the Philippines, because the U. S. did not interfere with Ger many's plans in China, as to what Germany's game is. Soie think that the interview was inanded to notify us that American non-intervention in German plans in China is the price that must be paid for German non intervention in American plans in the Philippines. The Sampson clique are not as chipper as they were. They realize that their pull is getting weak in spots. First, the Senate refused to to act on Sampson's promotions un til given official reasons therefor; next Secretary Long declined to as sume the responsibility of deciding Sampson and the crew of the New York to be entitied to prize money for participation in the destruction of Cervera's fleet, and ordered that the claim be refered to the Court of Claims. All of which is nuts for the friends of Schley. The House passed the River and Harbor bill this week. It appopri ates a little more than $30,000,000. One of the first results of the pas sage of the bill to provide for a stand ing army 100,000 men is the announce ment that the Military Appropria tion bill, which will be reported to the House next week,will carry $90, 000,000. Imperialism comes high. News Froum Pine Grove. Editor THE TIMEs: There has been considerable sick ness in the community, and the meas les, fever and pneumonia are still keeping the doctors busy. However, we are glad to say the measles have nearly run their course, and they scared us more than they hurt us anyway. Not so long ago one of the neighbors was heard to say that measles were not fit for a dog to have, and I suppose any of us can testify that we do not wish to be fit to have them, but for some reason or other they will fasten themselves to some of us; I suppose that is what we get by being so attractive, as the old lady said, after the lightning had struck her. Since the snow and sleet have come and gone, it is hoped we can shake off our diseases. Wasbington's birthday will be celebrated at Pine Grove School again this year; this seems to be an estab lished custom with the school and the people always expect an entertain ment on that day. The program in dicates that the coming entertain ment bids fair to be up to the aver age, and will probably excel anything of its kind that has ever been held at Pine Grove. Siomethiing new will be introduced this year, and that is a debate by four of the young men up on a query suitable to the day am] occasion: "Resolved, that Americans owe more to Washington than tc any other man." We are expecting ID. Jno. A. Rice, President of Colum bia Female college, to be with us on that day to give an address alone the educational line, but we are not vet certain that he will be there. Notwithstanding siekness, the school is holing up fairly well, and pupils and teachers seem to be en joyinlg their work. Trhe session is now half completed, and the next half will pass quietly and, we hope, profitably to all parties concerned. Paets of Pine Grove, let us urge vou to see that your children arec at school every ulay that t hey cani ps sibly be there; for you dd not know~ what a hole even one day's ab'sen.ce makes in thec year-'s wor-k, and wh~en it comles tha~t the child is abse-nt about one-third of the time, it takes fully two years to accomplish what could be done in one. I know wvhat I am talking about; I have been along there. So, byv all mieanls, see that your children attend school reg ularly. Preaching is still coinducte d in the school house, but we understand that a movement is on foot that wvill, in all probability, enable the trustees to raise the necessary sum of money to pay all church indebtedness, and theu the church will be opened up jor ret ular service Sunday after Sunday. It is not yet known when the dedicatory service will be held, but we are ex pecting a large congre;;ation at Pine Grove on that day. The parsonage, begun about a yeai ago, is to be completed in the near future, and will add much to our comunity. But whether it is to bE used as a parsonage right away o: be rented for a time is not yet full] decided. We know the pastor hopes for the former. February is herec, atnd St. Valen tine's day is close upon us. The hall shy, half sly youths and the co] maiden are, perhaps, already tortur ing their brains to turn out a few rhymes to show that other party that "If you love me like I love von. No knife can cut our love in two.'' My love to you shall ever nlow Like 'lasses down a 'tater row." "As sure as grass grows round the stump You are my darling sngar lamp." Or again, "Grape vine warp and pmec knot tituu I'll mary you if mami and daui' will in'. Oh yes, ye sedate and well-settled all these things must come in a lifi time; just thbink howwyou used to enjoy the! And they are, indeed, "things of eauty and nightmar-es forever.' Ihre hais teen or will be a lime in the life of every one of us; wvhei "your lovesick, Pick wick" exactly suits t he case, and ihe s->ouer we shed] thee things the hetter four us. P. Pine Grove, Feb. 1, 1899. Edit: ' lUE ii .Es: Being a teacher by profession, our scribe wishes to address a few ines to the teachers of Clarendon County, hoping that he may be ben efitted by some other teacher saying a few words on the same subject, which is one of the most essential factors of senssful tehing. That subject is: School Diseipline. What a solemn, tender and arduous task is imposed upon the teacher into whose hands is coummitted the training of the human character, and human soul, which is more imperishable than statuary marble, and no doubt I other teachers will agree with me that some of the best lessons we ever learn, we learn from our failures and mistakes, and that the error of the past is the w sdom and success of the future; so failures are necessary to success and if rightly treated may be transformed into positive benefit. The governient of a school is similar to that of a well regulated family where everything is agreeable and harnonious. Hence it is the power that regulates the rights, duties and privileges of students in their rela tion to each other, and to the school itself. Therefore, in order to succeed, employ the best method of dsicipline. No one teacher ~an lay down rules which are applicable to all places, cases and circumstances. Yet we can exercise our judguent, form such habits and taste in chilhood as to make the best of citizens in af ter life, what is the success which we desire. Is it not to send forth chil dren equipped mentally and morally for the life struggle, the growing into perfect harmony and adjustment with the wise laws of our universe? Impose no iron-clad methods, but be positive, frank, and candid remem bering that only a small percentage of human characters are original, but established by custom and fash ion therefore, make no restraint only by reason and benevolence which w ill always appeal to even the rud est, and be consistent with the high er obligations of religion and virtue, Obey the dictates and compunctions of a Christian conscience, your can dor will win confidence and success will await you.
