CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEE.
Let the Responses be Numerous and
There Will be No Trouble in
Raising Sufficient Funds.

The enthusiasm with which
the convention at GreeDvllle
adopted the purpose of.erectinga

urge therefore that the subject be
preset vigorously in every camp.
Let each member Of the general
committee consider himself the

and call TO his assistance such as
he may select to carry on the
work of collections. and appoint
such sub committees as he may
consider advisable to expedite The
work and secure success. Adop-
ting such plans as he and they
may consider advisable. AS fast
as collections are made send them
to Capt r S Desports, Columbia,
s. G., who is the treasurer OF the
general committee. Please com
rades, press this matter now upon
the attention of the public, and
employ every available method
to accomplish what We have un-
der,aken. Some of the camps
have promised to try TO collect
liberal contributions, let all the
rest follow their noble example.
Let every surviving sOluler con-
tribute to tn e monument fund,
and secure all he can from his
friends. Remember it it to COM
memorate the chivalrous deeds
of your own salnted mother, cease

He is high up in Charleston's own

Wasted Lives.
BISMARK.

Some people use their energies
in way that wastes the greater
part of them. Hurry, worry, ir-
ritation, vexation, determination
and foolish anxiety keeps them
constantly wasting precious va
tallty. This is foolishness. Peo-
pie do not want irritation or
stimulation. When anyone IS
tired he wants rest, not stimulants
When anyone's energies begin to
flag recuperetion, not irritation, is
wanted.
"All tired out" some people
say, II need a stimulant. A
very mistaken idea. No doubt
such a one is in need of invigora-
ton, recuperation, but not stimu-
lants. Stlmulants draw upon the
vigor which one already possesses;
they produces no vigor. When
one is tired out, nervous, weak
and desrondent, Pe-ru-na is what
is needed in the system. Peru

HUGHES ON k|NGSTREE.
THE GREENVlLLE PEDAGOGUE is
INLOVE WITH OUR TOWN.
What he Says of the Late Teachers In
stinte.-Very Agreeably Disap-
pointed.-Weil Pleased.

rrof. 4. l.. Hughes, Of Green
vile, who conducted the recent
teachers institute here conlIibut-
ed long article TO the Green
vile Daily News commenting
upon the institutes he had at
tended in various parts of The
State. He said he had started out
in the Piedmont section of the
State. and when he was instructed
to come from SIN sight OF the
mountains with its cool breeZes,
excellent limestone water and
healthful conditions to the low
country-that nightmare of the
resident of our favored Piedmont
region-and with many misglv-
lngs" he came.
Here is the lang lage Of Prof.
Hughes: 1--WE had been led 10
expect heat, malaqua. malaria,
mosquitoes, chills and fever and
general stagnation. We found
none OF these things. We found
swamps, level, unbroken stretches
of deep sand and luxuriant vegeta-
tion. but we have kept cool, had
pure clear artesian water to drink
and so far as we can tell good air
to breath, the mosquitoes have not
troubled us any more than if we'
were in Greenvllle, and the towns
seem prosperous. The people hope
ful and genuinely hospitable. We
had good men as school officers,
bright and wei equipped teach
ers who take even greater interest
in our work than teachers of some
of the counties more favored in
wealth and population. and have
enjoyed being with them" After
reviewing the institutes in other
low-country towns, Prof. Hughes
wrote OF ours as follows:
"But Kinsstree tears off the
palm. For appreciation, hospi-
tality, culture, bright teachers
and a general allround good in
stitute Kingstree is hard to beat.
Tie attendance reached the high
est mark here. The people filled
the court house at all night ses-
sions and attended in large num-
bers the daily sessions. Kingstree
might well be a health resort II
our experience is any test. We
shall certainly remember long the
kind, intelligent citizens, the at.
tentive and earnest teachers, the
efficient and courteous superin-
tendent, Mr.. Lesesne, and mine
h ost Barr, of the Coleman house, a
relative of our own substantial
citizen, who has spared no pains
TO take good care of US. Able
vile entertained all her county
teachers in the homes Of her cit
izens free Of charge. Kingstree
has done the same this week"
Thus 1t is ever.

Canadians to object to our sending
through their canals the poor old Yam
tic, whose wooden hull has been patched
until it will stand patching no longer,
whose engines are worth no more than
the junkInan would give for them and
whose smooth bore guns now lie rust
ing in Charlestown navy yard
But in her day the Yantic was not a
craft to be sneered at. When she was
launched from the Philadelphia navy
yard in 1864, she was as trim a little
frigate for her size as we possessed. Her
first assignment was to cruise along the
Atlantic coast and sink the commerce
destroyers Tallahassee and Chickamauga,
but after a vain hunt of two months
she joined the blockading fleets She
was active in the two attacks on Fort
Fisher and helped in the capture of
Fort Anderson. After the war she spent
a year or two on the drydock being re-
paired, and then she was assigned to
the work of finding and blowing up
derelicts She made a cruise on the
Asiatic station, and when she came
home in 1877 she was used up. For
three years the ship carpenters tinkered
with her and made her as good as new.
For the next ten years the Yantic was
one of the north Atlantic squadron, and
in May, 1889, had the most exciting ex-
perience of her entire career. She was
800 miles out in the Atlantic hunting
for derelicts when she encountered a
terrific hurricane. For days she strug-
gled gaIlantly with the storm. At one
time her foremast had to be cut away
to prevent her going to the bottom.
While wallowing in giant seas her en-
gine room filed with water and the hot
ashes heated it almost to the boiling
point. In this uncomfortable condition
of affairs the engineers nobly stuck to
their post, half drowned and half boil
ed. The Yantic finally got out of the
storm center and was limping back to
New York when she was struck by an
other gale, which almost finished her.
She was almost a wreck when she final
ly did tie up at Brooklyn navy yard,
but was repaired and put in commission
again.
In 1888 the Yantic accompanied the
Galena to Haiti to rescue an American
steamship which had been seized by LIE
gitime, the dictator. In 1892 she was
sent to the south Atlantic station, but
for months she was only kept from sink
ing because her keel rested on the mud
of the La Plata river bottom. Last
summer she was broIght back home,
inspected and condemned, and at De-
troit she viii end her days by furnish
ing offshore quarters for amateur fresh
water tars. JOHN T. WMLoUGHBY.

HER LAST CRUISE.
THE FRIGATE YANTIc HAS EARNED AN
HONORABLE RETIREMENT.

After Long Service ON the High Seas She
Goes to Detroit For Use as a Training
Ship For the Naval Militia.
Every year the number of wooden
ships in our navy grows less, and with
the retirement of the frigate Yantic an.
other picturesque but practically useless
craft drops our Of the line to be replaced
by a modern fighting machine of steel.
Had it not been for the rumpus raiseo
by the Canadian jingoes the Yantit
would have been allowed to retire into
obscurity unnoticed AS it is, however,
even at the close of her career, she is q
subject for the exchange of international
platitudes.
When the navy department was forceo
to condemn the Yantic because it wa.
found that the expense of repairing hel
would be 20 per cent of her original COST
it was decided to put her out of com
mission and hand her over to the Michi-
gan naval reserves to be used as a train.
ing ship. Upon hearing of this the Ca
madam newspapers raised howl of pro
test. They declared that in sending {
warship into lake waters the Uniteo
States government was violating the
Rush -Bagot treaty, which has for years
been a dead letter as far as it's practical
effect goes
This Rusn-Bagot treaty was made
during President Monroe's administra-
tion and was IAN arrangement as to the
naval force to be respectively maintained
on the American lakes by Canada and
the United States. 1t limited the vessels
to two each on the larger lakes and one
on the smaller, the vessels not to exceed
100 tons each and their armament t.
consist of one Is pound cannon apiece.
In how much respect this treaty is
held is shown by the fact that we have
now on the lakes, besides the antiquated
cruiser Michigan, several formidable
and well armed revenue cutters Tht
Gresham and the Carlisle, for instance,
have rapid fire rifles, machine guns and
torpedo tubes, making them the superb
ors in offensiveness of several of the
professed fighting cruisers of our new
navy. The Canadians also have war
ships on the lakes. but they disguise
them under the name of fisheries polio
ing boats They have ram bows and nine
nordfelt guns apiece besides heavier
armament slowed below as ballast OF
housed at convenient lake ports ready
for mounting.
With 13 such vessels in the waters of
the great lakes it is ridiculous for the
