Clarendon is not the only county
suffering from the effects of the ill
advised purchase of maps and charts,
and from what we can learn the con
cern selling these worthless things
took away from the school children
over $75,000, of course the people
that discount the certificatas, wheth
er the same were genuine or forg
eries made a magnificient sum from
the discounts, and possibly other
money was made out of the scheme.
The teachers association of Kershaw
adopted the following resolutions.
The Teacher's Association at a re
cent meeting unanimously adopted a
resolution, in substance, as follows:
It being the sentiment of the Ker
shaw County Teacher's Association
that the public funds have been wast
ed in the recent purchase, by school
trustees of this county, of charts to the
amount of over $2,000; be it resolved
that the county board of education
be asked to forbid, henceforth, the
purchase by trutees of maps, charts
or other school apparatus, for any
school in this county, without the
consent and approval, previously ob
tained, of the teacher in charge of
such school.
The resolutions come too late, the
horse is stolen; there is no need now
for a lock, the thing to do is to catch
the theif that stole the horse.

The committee in charge of the re

various portions of the State are be

This re-union is a large undertaking
for Charleston and the people all ovel
.the State should give assistance.
We hieartily agree with the wisi
expressed by the News and Courier
that the reunion committee do no
extend an invitation to Hon. W. J
Bryan to visit Charleston during thE
Confederate reunion. In our judg
ment the invitation would not be ac
ceted, and if it was, the greatpoliti
cal leader's presence on that occasioz
would greatly detract from the sol
emnity of the celebration. Do no
invite Bryan for the reunion, but ic

The investigation of the penitentia
ry, affairs ordered ..by the Genera
Assembly is now in pregress and ha
been for the past week. The revela
tions are not what the friends of Co
W. A. Neal had hoped for; in fac
they are a sad disappointment. W
do not believe that Colonel Neal in
tended to deceive his friends, bu
confidence in his ability and integrity
was misplaced, according to his own
testimony when he admitted having
used the State's money for his pri
vate purposes. When the question
of appointing a committee to inves
tigate the various rumors that were
then rife, the writer was among the
advocates for an investigation, feeling
confident that an investigation could
only result in a thorough vindication
of Colonel Neals integrity, and the
showing would prove all that his
friends have claimed for him as a man
ager. There was opposition to the
appointment of this committee, but it
came from some who did not vote for
Neal's re-election. We are very sor
ry to learn of the down fall of any
man, but when that man is a persou
al friend, his downfall is painful in
deed. The investigation so far shows
a miserable state of affairs, bad book
keeping, neglect, unbusinesslike meth
ods and an important set of directors
who are very largely to blame for the
present conditic-ns.
While we are deeply mortified by
the disappointing revelitions with re
gard to Colonel Neal, we are glad the
affairs of the institution are being in
vestigated by a committee who are
performing a duty conscientiously
without fear or favor, and when they
have finished their labors the people
will see that the General Assembly
acted wisely in ordering the investi
gation. Neal's own .dmissions con
vict him'of using public funds for his
private purposes; this puts him in a
bad light, even if he pays back every
dollar without going to his bondsmen
for a cent, and if he had been re-elec
ted, impeachment would have fol
lowed. The directors under the Neal
regime should tender their resigna
tions at once and acknowledge one
of two things, ignorance or culpabil
ity.
We shall wait for the committee's
report before making any more com
ments, and only wrote the above on
account of circumstances.

Washington Letter.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, March 10.-The re
publican leaders leaders are laying
the wires for a financial fake that is
expected to tide the party over the
Presidential campaign. The caucus
committee of Representatives elected
to the next Congress, chosen to pre
pare a financial bill for the republi~
ans, met in Washington this week
and agreed to meet at Atlantic city
the 17th of next month. How this
thing strikes a veteran political ob
server may be judged by the follow
ing words of ex-Congressman Dolli
ver, of Mo., in relation thereto: "The
republican caucus committee is now
engaged in making a pretense of do
ios that which they hav~ no intention
of doing-the framing of a measure
for currency reform. They will do
their best, and I guess will succeed
in staving off any change in the finan
cial statutes until after McKinley has
been a candidate for another term.
Their heroic and vociferous asser
tion that they will do anything at all,
does not fool me." It is probable
that the committee will get up some
sort of a bill, but it will be purposely
made meaningless. Mr. McKinley
has no idea of allowing any real fi
nancial legislation before the Presi
dential election.
Senator Jones, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, has
had a second attack of heart tiouble,
similar to the one that laid him ur
several weeks before Congress ad
journedl, but neither his physiciar
nor his :amnily regard his condition as
dangerous as it has been represented
to be in telegrams sent from Wash
ington. The doctor thinks the Sena
tor will be all right, if he will remair
perfectly quiet for about a montt
and not attempt to atterd to any bus.
inss whatever. Those who know the
energetic make-up of the Senator wil
understand how difficult it will be foi
him to meet the doctor's wishes.

pines, served from the time he grad

est standing in studies ever attained
until he resigned from the army tc

Coo., said of him: "He was the most
remarkable man I have ever known,
both in his studies and in his abili
tis and I am delighted to hear that
he has made out so well. He is young
enough to attain almost any rank i
he should stay in the army." Gen
Hale entered the volunteer army as
Colonel of the first Colorado Regi
ment, and was promoted to Brigadiet
General last August. He is only 31
years old.
It is reported and generelly be.
lieved in Washington that Secretara
Alger has offered to resign, provided
Mr. Kinley will allow him to name
his successor. How is that for gall'
That such an offer should have beer
imade indicates that Alger has a hold
upon Mr. McKinley that compels the
latter to defer to him. It would no
change the situation a particle for Al
ger to retire from the Cabinet, if h
was succeeded by a man selected b2
-himself to continue the system tha
-has been aptly called Algerism and t<
t cover up all its past defects. Mr
McKinley's wisest advisers are tryint
to get him to defy Alger, force hin
to resign, and to put a man in his
place whose name will convince th<
r ontry- that he will not allow a om
tinuance of Algerism. This advice
would have been adopted long rgo,
only it has failed to get the endorse
ment of Boss Hanna, who alone knows
how many damaging secrets conLect
ed with '96 Alger could and doubt
less would tell, if not let down easy.
The report that the Attorney Gen
eral of the United States was about
to begin proceedings against the
Standard Oil Company for violating
the anti-trust law was too good to be
true. There is no doubt that the
Standard Oil trust and a score of oth
ers are constantly violating the anti
trust law, but the obligations of the
present administration to trusts, as
well as the close business relations
existing between some of the men
wno now dominate the Republican
party with trusts, are such that noth
ing short of actual conviction of them
would convince anybody that any
serious prosecution of trusts will
tvke place under this administration.
When the Presidential campaign
opens there may be a bluff made to
wards prosecuting trusts for the ben
efit of the very gullible voters.
Mr. Daniel O'Leary, chief factory
inspector of New York, testified be
fore the industrial commission, now
sitting in Washington, that. he hail
reported to the War Department
some time ago that elothing for the
United States army was being made
in the sweat shops of New York city,
which shows how much sincerity
there is in the claim of the Republi
can party to be the friend of the
working classes. Mr. O'Leary said
the prices paid for this work were
about as follows: Coats, 32 1-2 cents;
infantry pants, 22 cents; cavalry
pants, from 26 to 35 cents, and vests,
from 11 to 14 ceuts. Nice friend

and women work for such prices,
isn't it?
There are reasons for saying that

A Pretty Marriage.
Editor TEE TIMES:
A large crowd assembled at the
residence of Mr. J. A. Burgess on
Wednesday, March 8, to witness the
marriage of his daughter, Bessie, to
Mr. G. H. McClary of Georgetown.
The writer of this article had the
good fortune to be present. Oh,
what an enjoyable occasion and just
to think of having a free pass to a
dairy groaning under the weight of
pies, cakes and other delightful cook
es.
Three o'clock was the hour set
apart for the marriage and just as
the old family clock struck the hour
the bridal party marched into the
parlor,Mr. Joe Wells of Manning and
Miss Addie Montgomery of Kings
tree, leading the way as best man
and best girl. The bride was dressed
in a lovely steel grey dress trimmed
with delicate blue satin and chiffon
and her attendant was dressed in
delicate pink trimmed with cream
silk and lace. Rev, Mr. Mills of For
eston officiated and one could not but
be impressed with his earnestness.
After the conclusion of the cere
mony the many friends and relatives
of the happy young couple went up
to extend their congratulations.
They were the recipients of many
useful presents.
About half-past four o'clock the
bride and groom, accompanied by
many friends, went to the Foreston
depot to catch the evening train,
which bore them away to their fu
ture home in Gecorgetown.

News From Pine 61rove.
Editor Tni TIMEs:
We have certainly had plenty of
weather since my last writing, but
so far as I am able to discern, are
none the worse by it. But it is too
late to talk about cold weather now,
so I shall pass on to something else,
taking it for granted that the peo
ple throughout the county have had
enough of the above mentioned arti
cle-enough to talk about in the
years to come and make the small
boy prick up his ears by reason of his
astonishment and wonder how those
things could be.
Wednesday, the 22d, was a big day
for Pine Grove. The crowd began to
assemble about 9 o'clock and by half
past 10 the large church was filled to
overflowing. The program by the
school was well carried out and the
pupils received many words of praise;
this, of course, made their teachers
feel proud of them. The debate,
which has been mentioned before,
was well received by the people and
many favorable remarks made con
cerning the young debaters. Dr.
Rice, who was with us, said the de
bate was something remarkable and
was far beyond anything he expected
here at Pine Grove; but we can sur
prise people occasionally. Another
thing which took well with the peo
ple was a dialogue in which Uncle
Sam and two of his daughters took
part. Uncle Sam had on a new suit
of red, white and blue to attend the
birthday exercises of his favorite son,
and it seemed, from the peals of
laughter that greeted his appearance
that everybody was glad to see him.
There are others who deserve fa
vorable mention, but so many others
that I shall have to pass them by;
let it be sufficient to say that the ex
ercises were a complete success, af
fording fun for fun lovers, sense and
reason for sensible and reasonable
persons and excellent music for those
fond of music.
After the exercises by the school
were over we had a good dinner and
p'lenty of it served by the excellent
people of the community and neigh
boring comnnnities. We had about
two hours for eating, hand-shaking
and greeting of old friends. It might
be that many speeches which could
not bear recording were made during
those two hours, for here and there
could be noticed a couple with faces
suffused with a happiness beyond
that which the regular exercises of
the day would justify.
After dinner we had a lecture along
educational lines from Dr. Jno. A.
Rice of Columbia Female College. In
his lecture were. humor, pathos,
sound sense and good advice, well
mixed and flavored to suit the taste
of all his hearers. To say that we
were well pleased or highly pleased
with his lecture would be to express
our feelings too mildly; we were en
raptured, almost lifted from our seats
at times by his soul-stirring, life-up
lifting words.
Dr. Rice made many friends in the
Pine U ove commu-ity and we all
would be glad to welcome him back
into our midst at any time. We
trust that his visit and his lecture
will be instrumental in having some
of our young ladies attend the col
lege which he represents. His lec
ture was the last thing on the pro
gram, and so ended a very pleasant
and, we believe, a profitable day at
Pine Grove, and we all went home
with a deeper love for our country
and firmer resolves to make ourselves
useful in our country's welfare.

Washington Paragraphs.
The Spanish Mauser rifle has a
longer range than the 43-calibre
Springfield, even when the latter
uses smokeless powder,and the Krag
Jorgensen has a longer range than
the Mauser; and yet the Ordnance
Department claims that our com*
manding officers in the Philippines
were given their choice of these small
arms and preferred the 45-calibre
Springfield to the Krag-Jorgensen.
This claim is reinforced by the fact
that there were 6,000 Krag-Jorgen
sens lying in Benicia arsenal, Cali
fornia, subject to the requisition of
Gen. Otis the whole time our troops
were using the 45-calibre Springfields
against the Spanish Mausers in the
Philippines. Only the volunteers
have these Springfields, however, for
all of the regular troops in the Phil.
ippines are armed with magazine ri
fes. But, in point of fact, the Mau
ser has but little longer effective
range than the 45-calibre Springfield
and is much less effective when it
hits, for the Mauser only wounds om
maims and the-Springfield kills out
right. And the Springfield has a
slight advantage over the Krag-Jor.
gensen in the hands of inexperienced
troops, and that is its simplicity and
toughness-it will stand any amount
of neglect and rough handling, while
the complex mechanism of the Krag
Jorgensen renders it difficult to han
de and take care of. The regular
troops which are being embarked
for Manilla now are armed with the
modern Krag-Jorgensen rifles and
smokeless powder.

The army reorganization law. re
cently enacted, makes a large in
crease in the niumber of army ap
poitments and the President has
been compelled to give nearly all of
his time since the adjournment of
Congress to receiving and hearing
the recomendations of Senators and
members in behalf of those whom
they wvant to have remembered
"when the President makes up his
jewels." The complete list of those
who were finally selected are just an
nounced. It is understood that Gen
eral JToe Wheeler will not remain in
the army, although lie would like to
do so (u.>~nle expressed it), if he could
be sent to the Philippines where
there is some fighting, but he does
not care to remain in the army if he
would be kept at home-that is, not
sent to the Philippines. The Presi
dent esteems General WVheeler most
highly as a soldier, but he has two
good ,.easns fr not wanting- to send
him the Philippines: one is that Gen
eral Wheeler is getting too old, and
the other is that he is too valuable
as a member of Congress to be wisely
withdrawn from that body.
The law of prizes provides that the
sum of $100 shall be allowed to the
victors for each person on the cap
tured or destroyed vessel or vessels
when the victors are the superior
force. That would give Admiral
Dewey's fleet about $200,000 for the
destruction of the Spanish armada at
Cavite, Manila Bay, May 1, 1898. But
the law provides just two times as
much head money for the captors
when the captives are the superior
force. It is, therefore, more than
probable that Dewey's men will be
allowed $200 for each person on the
captured and destroyed Spanish
fleet, for it is estimated that while
our fleet proper was stronger than its
Spanish enemy on water, the rein
forcement given to the Spanish fleet
by the shore batteries at Cavite ren
dered the opposing force the zreater.
Dewey's officers and men have made
such claims, and the question is now
under consideration by the Judge
Advocate General of the Navy.
The new personnel law of the navy
contains some novel features. For
instance, all of the line offleers who
are detailed to bureaus of the Navy
Department as bureau chiefs are
given the ranking grade of rear ad
mirals. Another provision is that at
least forty vacancies must be made
every year in the grade of captain
(the number of such vacancies from
deaths, retirements and resignations
heretofore has ranged from twelve to
thirty a year); and, in order that
such vacancies may be made, a "se
lecting-out" process has been pro
vided in order to force out enough to
make the required forty, but as a
measure of "balm to their injured
spirits," they get the retiring rank
of rear admirals.

The greatest after-dinner orator of any country says: "What
people want to know is the facts abont anything."

events transpiring in Clarendoun County; it prints the news.
Read article -Does Tobacco Culture Pay, in last week's issue.

tween Columbia and Charleston. Better returns can be had for
the money than anywhere else.

AS proven disastrous to many women.
\ eet feet and damp clothing chill the
entire system and the delicate female
\\organs are at once effected. Painful,
Profuse, Suppressed or Obstructed Menses,
Whites, Fallng of the Womb, or some other
health-destroying disease is almost certain
to foflow such exposure unless proper pre
cautions are taken. When any of these dis
eases appear women should begin the use of
GERSTLE'S
Female Panacea.

female disease, and give health and strength.

- MY DAUGHTER SUFFERED INTENSELY
From female irregularities. and had tried hysicians and other remedies, but
__could get no relief. and we had despaired of her recovery. We were induced to
try Gestle's Female Panacea, and I believe it saved her life.
