POLIT1CAL AND OTHERWISE. President McKinley's speech at the launching of the Ohio speaks volumes. "* " He says in substance: "The Phillipine Islands, Hawaii, Tutila and Guam are not to be acquired?they are already ours." Let some of the would-be statesmen of the ten cents type stop and think. This was the declaration of the President of the United States, spoken from a city which was acquired just as Manila was. When this territory (California) was purchased from Mexico for $14,000,000 the . little statesmen opposed the ratification of the treaty with Mexico. A" howl was made. "Ye gods," they cried, "whither are we drifting ?" "I oppose the taking of this territory,'* said one senator, "because we are required to pay $14,000,000 for a territory made up of a salt desert over which only a vulture can do business, while the people are untamed Indians and Spanish cut-throats. English people can't live there." Another said: "The acquisition of this territory is contrary to the spirit of our constitution. The ratification of this treaty will disrupt the Union. Only the people of the thirteen original States have a right to allow this territory to be acquired. If any one of them by a vote refuses to Ranrtion the acouisition. then clearlv the P compact is illegal and the Supreme Court must so declare." But the Court did not ^ so declare. The great territory became a part of our nation. Great is the statesman who says we cannot hold territories. Our mission as a nation is to give the world the benefit of our glorious government?freedom. What a momentous occasion to the people was the |?: . launching of the Ohio. It meant as clearc ly as words and acts could speak, the day is past when the American Eagle will duck his head in the presence of John Bull, the Russian Bear, or take fright when the erratic Emperor of Germany > froths at the mouth because we are sending iron and cotton goods from the South to break down German trade. Fill your pockets by "thrift" is a maxim, the truth of which is admitted. Open the harbors of the Orient to trade, Christianity and civilization if the people of the Sooth would prosper. When the Ohio glided into the waters of the Pacific, another bulldog of the navy was there to protect and extend American trade. Let ? another be launched, and another, until our fleet commands the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific and carry our trade to all nations and the islands of the sea. It is interesting to note the force of events. See how they, affect the people of other countries. The old Iron Chan cellor of Germany?Bismarck?earnestly advocated the founding of colonies by >; the German nation so as to stop the great stream of emigration from Germany to the United States. His cherished hope was to build up a great colony in South America, and had selected the nation which it meant to swallow. The Monroe doctrine was supposed to be obsolete. But when the ultimatum from the United States to Great Britain, in the Yenezuelian ! controversy, came flashing from the lips of Uncle Sam, her Majesty's government stopped and wanted to arbitrate, but the German press boiled over that this "overgrown school boy" should be so insolent and hurried to assure John Bull that he had the "Vaterland's" support. How disgusted the Kaiser was when John Bull accepted the declaration that the Monroe doctrine was an international obligation, , and asked the good offices of this government to bring about an adjustment. When Dewey had sunk the Spanish fleet and we were pressing hard the city of Manila the German fleet was insolent, until Dewey sent his famous inquiry tor know "whether his Majesty's government were at war or at peace with the Unite^ 8tates ?" This followed by a guushot across the bow of a German boat, which was violating orders, told the Germans whoW world that Uncle Sam was there for business, was ready, apt, and willing. McLaurin voted for the ratification of the Paris treaty and prevented German interference. He was right in voting for the ratification. President McKinley says our flag is in the Phillipines to stay. That they are not to be acquired but are already ours. Cuba will voluntarily come into the Union as Texas did. The ship canal will be built and the Southern ports will be the great shipping ports. Southern cotton planters will be the recipients of this greatest blessing by these changes. Who do the people want to go to the United States Senate ? Do they want a weakling, who wall turn to Tillman as wet nurse?or a "me too" statesman, or a railroad slave, or a turncoat politician? If so, let them select from Latimer, Stevenson, Jones, Henderson & Co. But if they want a man to represent the farmers and business men, let them take the wool hat boy from the Pee Dee. McLaurin's enemies are traducing him and saying all sorts of evil things about him falsely. Mr. Latimer would feel insulted if any one said lie had not made his $100,000 honestly. Some now doubt it. It is not well for Congressmen to expect people to believe everything no more than that everything said about a Congressman is true. Senator Henderson will opportunity to explain in^^^^Yliim to try to kill the HH^^^Hrij^B^^K'hich upon cars to bill the SpeakHouse, Mr. Would-be Senator ^Y|^^^Hkson, has had a hard task to explain railroad deals?politically dead ; while your Uncle Jas. Talbert will be telling j what he is doing with a telegraph frank ?note the explanation. Truly "the way of the transgressor is hard." Meu of clean records are wanted, men of character, men of brains, men devoted to the interest of the people, men who are not ^ afraid of the devil or Boss Ben, but dare to do right. % >? m McLaurin's policy is not only attracting attention in South Carolina, hut it seems that Georgia is to have a tight along the^samc line. T. G. Crenshaw, one of the Georgia railroad commission, is out in a strong letter endorsing the policy of our Junior Senator, lie also takes occasion to touch up Governor Candler, who is said to be a candidate for U. S. Senator from that State. Bamberg county is not likely to stay in the political back-ground much longer. We have the men who are eminently worthy to fill high positions of State, and we propose to put them forward. We have stood aside for others long enough, and it is now time for us to assert ourselves It is Dossible that there will be some surprises before the next campaign opens. Aspiring politicians may look out for Bamberg, for if we do enter the liug we'll make things warm. Some newspapers in the State who are of course opposed to McLaurin are working very hard to get up a joint debate between Tillman and McLaurin. This is only a scheme to assist in the defeat of McLaurin, if possible, and if the junior Senator will take our advice he will not thus play into their hands. Tillman is not the embodiment of the Democracy of South Carolina now, no matter how much he may think so, and there is no reason why McLaurin should indulge in a debate with him, which would surely be one of personalities, and not a discussion of principles. Mr. Tillman can tai k through his puppet in the campaign next year, but McLaurin should take no notice of him now. It Saved His Leg. P. A. Danforth, of LaGrange, Ga., suffered for six months with a frightful running sore on his leg; but writes that Bucklen's Arnica Salve wholly cured it in five days. For ulcers, wounds, piles, it's the best salve in the world. Cure guar anteed. Sold by Dr. J. B. Black and Thos. Black. The Basis of True Intelligence. Philip Armour, the great Chicago millionaire, philanthropist and butcher said: "Give expansion to the brain, so as to make it a highly organized establishment for the production of thought." Such expansion must be based on five cardinal points viz: observation, inquiry, reading, attention and retention. 1. Observation is a supreme art and one of the ripest fruits of the higher education. We are told the "consummation of learning is teaching the use of the eye." The greatest scientists are those that make original observations. If Sir Isaac Newton, Copernicus, Archemides, Galileo and hundreds of others had not observed, think what our world would be to-day. It is said of Macauley, the English historian, that he never attempted a graphic description of a scene until he first visited the place and mastered the detail. Nature is a store house, where we obtain many grand object lessons. A wealth of knowledge is held within the tiny seed cups, bursting buds, the skies, the birds and the butterfly that woos the flowers, but sips no honey and dies in a da}-; how are we to know all this? Observe? think. , 2. Inquiry. This word has three derivations, French enquerir, Spanish inquirir,Latin inquiro,all meaning the same, viz: investigation, asking questions for one's information. The yankees are noted for their numerous questions and we can readil)' perceive the benefit they derive. An inquiring mind is a recep tive mind, he who learns from the hum| blest of God's creatures, will be a wise man. There is a prevailing weakness among people, that of being ashamed of their ignorance and prefer to remain in it, to asking others for information. Such folks deserve to live and die in their unenlightened condition. "We mustn't stop to look" said a couple of girls passing down the street of a certain city "for people will call us country crackers" and away they went with necks stiff as pokei s. How weak, how devoid of moral stamina! Just think, if we gain one fact each day for ten years we will have in our possession 3,650 facts, such a wealth! On this line there is one other suggestion to le made, viz: sending wideawake inquiring children to bed before they are sleepy. Oh, parents, it is cruel, it issending them off with an appetite unallayed and though you mean no harm, you are dwarfing the first tendrils as they reach out for strength ?don't do it. 3. Reading is understanding characters or marks by which we inquire into the unknown. Our information through this podium depends on the amount we remember and the kind of literature we read. The starch and water books that flood the market nowadays would dry up any brain to the size of a last years' walnut, for they contain nothing that thought can feed on. Lord Lytton says reading without an object is walking without an exercise. Read with an object in view, and let that be for an improvement. 4-5. Attention and retention are closely allied. I hardly know how to separate them. The former is concentration, a fixed thought on what appears to us through one or more of the senses. The act of grasping with the "hook of comprehension," a given fact. While retention is the act of retaining or remembering what we acquire. A good illustration of these attributes can be found in a school where cupid has gained entrance, the victims of his heart poison seldom acquire or retain much more than the conjugation of the verb to love ! We are told in books on astronomical science, that the sun paints his pictures everywhere. Suppose we had the power of retaining these photographs, what a gallery of beauty--a dungeon of woe we would have combined! I reach now the great desideratum and ultimatum, viz: Parents if you want a reading, intelligent, inquiry offspring, be given to much reading yourselves, be intelligent, be inquiring. Precept without example goes for naught. M. (). Lanikk. Fought For His Life. "My father and sister both died of con- J sumption," writes J. T. Weatherwax, of I Wyandotte, Mich., "and 1 was saved from ! the same frightful fate only by Dr. King's New Discovery. An attack of pneumonia left an obstinate cough and very sej vere lung trouble, which an excellent I doctor could not help, but a few months' j use of this wonderful medicine made me j as well as ever and 1 gained much in j weight."

It is a season of many regrets to most school children, because but few are fond of those things which test the ability and personal equation. Notwithstanding, examinations are very essential. They are good things as mental exercises and are doubly useful as an antidote to vanity. Children know much of the imaginary world. The real is always too real. It is good for them to learn the distinction while they are in life's preparatory school." The greatest leveler of human affairs is a personal cognizance of the weakness the thought of deficiency brings to us. A very successful year's work will soon close. Teachers are indebted to their patrons for the general progress of the year, although .? l?ot: luif.n .1 r?.)r i\f vovnlntinn V.vprv " *'v"' " " ? ?J new ideal must meet the critical test. At times the demands on children were honorably exacting. But few, if any, mistakes have been made. This community owes its teachers a debt of gratitude. It is very seldom that teachers please everybody. Such is not the case even with the present corps of teachers, but their work for the past year with its waves of successes and progress, will ever be an appeal to all patrons and they will leave Denmark fully conscious of the high appreciation of the great majority of patrons. Their places will be hard to fill, because it is very difficult to select a number of teachers qualified in every respect to teach and to mould the character of boys and girls. Our lady teachers are exceptionably endowed with the largeness of true gifts given them by nature. The school child of to-day will, when he shall have taken on the maturity of j'outh, declare greater praise for them than that which he willingly bestows now in his exultant youthful enthusiasm. The commencement exercises will be very attractive. On Wednesday evening, May 29, at 8.30 o'clock there will be a musical entertainment at the school building under the personal supervision of the accomplished Miss Connor, who has been teaching a large class of bright young ladies. Thursday evening, May 30, 8.30 o'clock, President Henry S. Hartzog will deliver the annual address before the school. Friday evening, May Oi O OA r?lacinovnrPicPC Will OI, O.OV u uiutri) tii^ V/iuolug n ?i? be rendered by various classes of the school. Sunday, June 2, 11 a. m., at the Baptist church, Rev. A. C. Wilkins, Batesburg, S. C., will preach the annual sermon. The public is cordially invited to attend these exercises. Mr. Herman Walker has secured a position with the Telephone Company, filling the vacancy caused by the promotion of Mr. Geo. Riley. A true young man is a useful supply in the vastuess of commercial and business life, which is assuming larger proportions than ever. The young man seems to be the leader of it all. Your correspondent had the occasion a few days ago to write to the President of his Alma Mater and received in reply a beautiful letter and in addition a tract entitled, "The choice young man." Every line is philosophy. I beg that you print it for the benefit of your large number of intelligent readers. It reads as follows: THE CHOICE YOUNG MAN. Money to the simple, healthy sense, is but the representative of energy and power. It is to pass from man to man only as the symbol of some exertion, some worthy outputtiug of strength and life. Save in the way of charity, it is not to be given or taken* without something behind it which it represents. With his mind full of this simple, honest truth, feeling himself ready to earn his living and to give an equivalent for all that he receives, the young man ought to have an instinctive dislike and scorn for all transactions which would substitute feeble chance for vigorous desert, and make him either the giver or receiver of that which has not even the shadow of an equivalent or earning. 1 do not say that gambling and betting are admirable or respectable tilings in grayneaaen men. it is not of them or to them that I am speaking now. I do say that in young men, with the abundance of life within them and around them, gambling and betting, if they be not the result of merest thoughtlessness, are signs of a premature demoralization which hardly any other vice can show. In social life, in club, in college, or on the street, the willingness of young men to give or receive money on the mere turn of chance is a token of the decay of manliness and selfrespect, which is* more - alarming than almost anything besides. It has an inherent baseuess about it which, not to feel, shows a base soul. To carry in your pocket money which has become yours by 110 use of your manly powers, which lias ceased to be another man's by no willing acceptance, on his part, or its equivalent?that is a degrading thing. Will it not burn the purse in which you hold it ? Will it not blight the luxury for which you spend it? Will you dare to buy the gift of true love with*it? Will you oiler it in charity ? Will you pay it out for the support of your innocent children? Will it not be a Judas-treasure, which you must not put into the treasury because it is the price of blood? So I rank high among the signs of a choice, human youth, the clearness of right and the healthiness of soul which makes a man refuse to have anything to do with the transference of property by chance, which make him hate and despise betting and gambling, under their most approved and fashionable and acceptable forms. Plentiful as those vices are among us, they still, in some degree, have the grace to recognize their own disgracefulness by the way in which they conceal themselves. Some sort of hiding and disguise they take instinctively. Let even that help to open our eyes to what they really are. To keep clear of concealment, to keep clear of the need of concealment, to do nothing which he might not do out in the middle of Boston Common at noonday?I cannot say how more and more that seems to me to be the glory of a young man's life. It is an awful hour when the lirst necessity of hiding anything comes. The whole life is different thenceforth. When there are questions tr? )>? f??nr<'il and <?vt'S to be avoided and subjects which must not be touched, then the bloom of life is gone. Put off that day as long as possible. Put it off forever if you can. And as you will hold no truth for which you cannot give a reason, so let yourself be possessed of no dollar whose history you do not dare to tell."

"Something New Under the Sun." All doctors have tried to cure catarrh by the use of powders, acid gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form. Their powders dry up the mucuous membranes causing them to crack open and bleed. The powerful acids used in the inhaleis have ontirely eaten away the same membranes that their makers have aimed to cure, while pastes and ointments cannot reacli the disease. An old and experienced practitioner who has for many years made a close study and specialty of the treatment of catarrh, lias at last perfectcd a treatment which when faithfully used, not only relieves at once, but permanently cures ' irrh, by removing the cause, stopping ttie discharges, and curing all inflammation.

No one has yet been able to point out error in McL">urin's Charlotte speech. Not a single newspaper has set up claims to having brains enough to answer a word of that speech. In acknowledgement of the want of brains, as well as for the want of fact, some newspapers have declined to talk of that^peech, but, in the face of his disavowal, they continue to repeat that old story about his effort to organize a Republican party in this State. And then they resort to the refuge of charging him with "voting with the Republicans."
