The Importance Of establishing indus

unlikely that South Carolina will be
the first to take the step in that direc-
ton The Macon Ga.) Telegraph, which
has had 4 good deal to say on the ques-

saying:
I've must have these training

them the sooner Will the South nc

position which. is her ultimate des-
tiny. Mature has provided the re-
sources whereby the South may be-

men ana women OF the South TO be
educated in the mechanics arts. 50
that they may compete with the arti-
san Skill OF other sections OF the
country and Of Europe as well. It is
not necessary that boy or girl
should be taken out of the common
schools in order TO lcur:i how to

anu should have, is n history of a, broad
er scope than those just referred to-
a history that will not only state the
facts connected with the wdr itself, but
deal clearly and impartiully with The
constitutional differences that brought
on the conflict and the real motives OF
the South In entering into the struggle.
1T should also deal clearly and fully
with the reconstruction period the in
consistent Federal legisla tion thereon,
and all the facts connected with the
failure to try MIR. Davis, which legisla-
ton and failure to bring the Confedera te
President to trial are alone complete
vindicaton OF the South. The task OF
preparing q history that, will cover all
the ground that should be covered will
not be an easy one. but it Is earnestly
TO be hoped that at their meeting in
June the United Confederate Veterans
Will take practical steps towards seeing
the work put under way. They should
grapplc with the Grand Army of the
Republic movement, and the more ex-
tended Northern histories 1t is likely to
develop, on the Threshold They owe
this not only to the memory of the
Confederate cause, but to truth in the
abstract and TO the Souths ante-bellum
past, the fortitude she displayed in the
immediate post-bcllum period. and to
her future and the future Of the Re
public; they owe it, indeed, to the world,

ciples that actuated those who partici-
pated in it on the Southern side. And
when they shall have put our case be-
fore the world fully and clearly and i'm
partially, we need not have tho slightest

What is needed is history such as

suffice and the sooner it is put out the
better. No true Southern man need fear

TIE TURKS HAVE ENEMIES AT
Hes3ME.

Jean Pascal writing in the New
York Journal on the condition Of affairs
in Turkey, says that there is party,
or faction, all over the Ottoman En-
plre. known as the "Jeune Turuuie,"
which is composed principally or the
younger generation OF Turks. It has; for
one OF its cardinal doctrines opposition
TO all the superstitions of the Moha,n-
medan faith. The members Of this
organization subscribe to the most ad-
Vanced ideas OF modern civilizations
They number about Il, 000-perllaps 49,
oOo-and they are very much hated and
feared ny the Sultan. During some OF
Inc recent massacres a large number
or these men were put to death i'll a
most heart!ess manner. Twelve hun
drcd Of them lost their lives at the time
OF the Armenian maSsaCrcS at Sivas and
Marash. The members OF this organi-
Zatlon ,aS a rule, are III sympathy with
the Greeks. One OF the most distin-
guishcd members Is Moussa Bey, of
Cairo. Egypt. editor of an Egyntian
newspaper. He is a leader among them,
and has been attacking the Sultan and
his policy IN his paper. Only short
Time ago the Sultan called upon the
Viceroy of Egypt Abbos Holmi to de-
liver Moussa Bey into his custody. The
Ficeroy refused, and stated that Egypt
was "a free country, in which freedom
Of speech was respected
If the Armenians, who are scattered
all over Turkey, got an opportunity
they would render valuable service for
The Greek cause. Take, for instance, the
Province of Geligia, OF which Ictoun is
the capital. II these people were pro
vidcd with ammunition and arms they
would give the Turks a great deal of
trouble In this province alone there
are $4,000 Armenians, while there are
| only $4,000 Turks.
There are over 100000 Greeks in Con-
stantinoplc. besides the sympathy OF
the Armenian IS with Greece, a fact
which is due to the business of their
cause and the ancient grudSc they bca,
the Turks, and If the Greek and .Armc.
man elements combine, which they wi!
do at the first opportunity, Turkey vii

A QUEER ARAB PRBJUDIcE.-The
Arabs in the deserts have contracted a
strange prejudice against running wat
er, and will only drink what they find
in some stagnant pool.
So much has this become matter of
habit with them that, while most poi
sonous looking water agrees with them
admirably, pure running water will
make them violently sick in the course
of few hours This prejudice is shar-
ed by most of the lower animals, and
is often acquired by European travel
lers in Africa.>
At first the stagnant water produces
nausea and even fever, but when once
the system is Injured to il. running
water affects them in precisely the
same way that it affects the Arabs.
