Ii THE death Of Admiral David D.
Porter the United States loses another
Of her brave defenders. Admiral
Porter was a native Of Philadelphia,
and came by his love OF naval war
fare honestly, his father being COM
mander of the Essex frigate in the
war of 1872. David ID. Porter entered
the navy as a midshipman in 1929,
being then sixteen years of age. His
time was divided until 1861 between
service on coast survey, on foreign
station, the national observatory, and
from 1S47 TO 1853 in command of the
California mail steamers. When the
war broke out he was sent to
Pensacola and afterward distin-
guished himself in the operations
against New Orleans and Vicks-
burg. He was made vice adj
miral the year after the war closed
and four years thereafter, in 1870, was
male full admiral. Admiral Porter
commanded the full confidence of his
subordinates and inspired them with
his own cool courage in all times of
danger. One by one.thes old heroes
OF the rebellion die and are carried to
their silent resting places, amid a
grateful nations tears and nations
funereal pomp. Grant has gone an d
Farragut, and now old Daniel Porter
answers roll call and Sherman is very
near the hour that musters him out.
Even should he survive the attack, as
is probable, his days are nearing their
end and soon only memory will re-
main of that gallant host of COM
manders by sea and by land to whose
courage and devotion the safety OF
the nation was SO successfully en-
trusted during the days ofdisaster.

THE Argentine Republic collapse,

bust this country higher than bal

Editor Mcclure Talks to Roanoke College
Students on the Next Century.

SALEM, Va, June 9.--The Hon.
James W. Marshall and NJ. L: keedy
delivered addresses this morning pe-
fore the Alumni of Roanoke college.
This evening Col. A. K. Mcclure, ed
itor of the Philadelphia Times, dellv-
cred the annual address before the llt-
erary societies. His subject was line
Twentieth Century"
Ee admonished the students against
accepting the belief so often taught IN
politics, journalism, and the pulpit,
that this is a degenerate age, and that
the great task Of the educated young
men of to-day will be its reformation
to old-time putty. He said the world
never was as good as to-day; that pol
itics, society, and religion were all bet
ter now than in the past, and tnat,
while the world always needed, re1or-
nation, it never needed 1t less than
now, and that it was better and greater
in heroism and state manshlp than
ever in the past.
The speaker then pointed out the
grave problems to be solved. Among
these he mentioned the issue over
church creeds, which he predicted
would produce a new reformation
during the twentieth century, and one
that would make religion stronger than
it is to-day. The great battle against
Capitalization, the race issue. and cap
ital and labor he also indicated as
problems which might be manfully
met and solved. He also discussed the
need for educated men in the depart
ment of mechanics, which be said was
opening a wider and better field than
he professions. He closed with the
prediction that the new century would
see new South, equaling or surpsss-
ing the North in her diversified IN

SOW the handkerchief, which the AMI
NAL was shaking to and fro for the
amusement of nine pigs. The dis
tressed lady went in pursuit and soon
took hold with her hands upon the
stolen property, but it required all her
strength to separate it from the AMI
malls teeth. At length it tore loose;
and Mrs. Son fell triumphantly to the
ground, waving as trophy the rescued
goods. Although this happened IN the
good, utilitarian days of darning, the
rent was never repaired, and that is
the reason why it is still visible, ragged
and Jagged, in the corner of the hand

PALMETTO SCHOOL JOURNAL,

This is very interesting situation
indeed! The State superintendent OF
education and his chief clerk have
little alliance among themselves, and
journal is issued by the Latter, OF which
the former edits a department. We do
not know whether the superintendent
of education is a "silent partner in the
enterprise or not, or whether he is to
receive compensation for editing his de-
partment or not. That is side issue.
We do know that an attempt is being
made to make one department of the
State government at once a public
Office and a private s'tr1st"-to take
the money of the people and put 1t into
the pocket of an oficehoIder-to make
the taxes of the counties support Mr.
Thackston's journal.
The declaration that the State board
of trustees has passed resolution au-
thorizirg this provision of the public
funds does not come directly, it will De
seen, from Mr.. Thackston. He puts ltin
the mouths of the county school COM
missioners. If it be true, the board mas
done an act which it will find very
hard to justify. If it is true, there IS
deception as well as joboery.
But no matter how it stands, this
affair is scandalous. It compels the
taking of three copies of the Pal
netto School Journal in every school
district of the State at the expense OF
the tax payers, and the money goes
into pockets of Mr.. Thackston indivi-
dually, or Mr.. Thackston and his
hackers. 1T is estimated that the sum
thus proposed to be drawn from the
county treasures will amount to from
So, 1000 to $1,000 annually.
