The picture of a South Carollnan
testifyipg against his own State
in Congress is one to make angels
weep. We clip the following from
the official report:
DR.. Sampson Pope, independent
candidate for governor, took the
stand. DR.. Pope characterized as
great fraud the constitutional
convention, and reviewed at length
the circumstances attending it.
Uneasy for fear that the Conserva-
tive element of the State would
join the Republicans and form a
just Constitution; he said, the
Democratic leaders, Senator Till
man and others, entred inteo q
most damnable agreement. The
scheme to which they bound
themselves and their followers
provided, among other things, that
no white man should be- disfran-
chised except for crime; that the
whites should be insure d sup
remacy, and the Constitution
when adopted should net be sub
mitted to the people. He had gone
gone into the courts and endeavor-
ed to stop the election of delegates
to the convention, but had been
unsuccessful.
South Carolina, he said, was out
i1oii IN congress was concerned. Ii
was admitted to the Union provid.
ed that it did not change the Con.
stitution of 1898, which was ap.
proved by congress. The legisla.
ture of the State had broken faith b
long ago, and as a matter of fact
no senator or representative
Democrat or Republican, had 8
right sit in the national Legislature
Further, when the present Con.
stitution was adopted, it was never
submitted to the people for ra.
tifcation, those framing it never
took the oath and a number OF
them held other Offices under the
government. The provisions Of
the Constitution were violated in
each instantance. The result
was that Thousands were deba rred
from suffage. These were facts
and if the committee would 60 to
South Carolina and take testimony
or send for persons and papers, it
could easily get at the facts. 1t
was an important matter and one
which congress should look into.
Replying to question by Mr..
Talbert (Dem. of South Carolina
as to the part he took in certain
legislation in the State, be SAID
that it was enacted before he, be-
came member of the legislature.
He added that the Gales had fallen
from his eyes, he was now a'pro-
tectionist and an outspoken Re-
publican, and he only regretted
that he had not Joined this party
12 years ago. He was in it
now to stay and would work to
convert the people of his State.
He even hoped to convert his

The above is a true and correct
apportionment made in accord
ance with the Teachers Monthly
Reports as are found in this Office.
I find many pay warrants drawn
by teachers and no reports at
tached. Each warrant must be
accompanied by a full and COM
plete report for each month. 1 also
urge that the trustees make COM
plete annual report to this Office
on or before the first day of August
of each year, according to Section
IL of the School Law, for without
such reports it is impossible for
me to make a true and correct ap-
portionment. again urge that
each and every trustee appointed
by the county board of education
come to this Office in person, as 1
wish his signature, and at the
same time get the apportionments
for the several districts.
I find that several of the school
districts during the fiscal year just
passed have overdrawn their ap-
portionment, while others have un-
expended balances.
No teachers pay warrant will be
approved unless signed personally
by at least a majority of the trus-
tees of each district and also ac-
companied by a teachers monthly
report for the month for which
said warrant is drawu.

view OF the strike situation this morn.

sufficient coal out of the earth already

however will not part with their sup

has not heard that there is any such
movement on foot among other roads.

A SHORT time before the Revo!u-
tionary war broke out, General Wash
ington wrote a letter to an officer OF tho
Euglish army, in which he said
az l am we'll satisfied that no
such thing as Independence is desired
by any thinking mar in all North
America; on the contrary, that 1t is the
ardent wish of the warmest advocates
of liberty that peace and tranquility
upon constitutional grounds may be re,
stored and the horrors of civil discord
be prevented
Letters written by General Lee to
people in the North, q short time before
the commencement of the war between
the States, stated that it was his ar
dent wish that peace upon constitution.
al grounds could be restored and the
horrors of civil discord be prevented.
But in both cases the evils complained
of instead of being decreased, were
increased, until %forbearance ceas-
ed to be a virtue, and in both,
the most conservative men, and
those most opposed to war, were
forced by circumstances to become the
leaders of those who rose in defense OF
their most sacred rights.

THE boilers in Ohio and Kentucky,
like those in Iowa have determined to
maintain what they call their "orgsni-
zation," and to run tickets next fall TO
help the republicans, as they did last
year. That is just exactly what they
should have done, as by so doing they
will render their real strength as APP
parent to themselves as it is to every
body else. But they are not as wise as
serpents, though harmless as doves, for
the public exhibition they will make OF
their ineffectivene ass will render them
even more ridiculous than they now are.
AS their real and only object Is to de-
feat the democratic party, the members
Of that party would have more respect
for them if they would openly avow
that intention and go over boldly to
the force bill, high tariff and trust sup.
porting party, and vote the straight re-
publican ticket.
