The State Superintendent of
Education has sent out questions
TO be used in the examination OF
teachors and among them appears
the following: "What was the
true cause Of the Kebnlllon?' The
GreenviIle News has a column edi-
torial criticising this question and
rejecting upon the Reform move
ment. it seems hard to hold Till
man and other. Reformers respon-
sible for this mistake, but it givos
tho News an opportunity to array
tho Veterans against tho Reform
ers. 1t has heen generally under
stood that factional differences
were to BIZ ignored in the future
and that the people at tho primar-
les would select the best men for
Office. This can never be done
as long az the newspapers contin-
ue to renew fnctional disputes.
If the News had placed the re-
sponsibllity where it belonged and
omitted to charge the Rcformers
with insulting thee ontedoracy, it's
editorial would have received the
unqualificdupproval of all Reform-
ers. The ranks Of Reformers con-
tain many veterans and they do
not approve nf the treatment
which politicians have given their
comrades and since the primary
has been adopted, it is expected
that the people will do justice at
the polls.
This question is Nh insult to
Confcderaies and their families,
and no ono feels 1T more sensibl y
than thoan who have visited tine
North and heard the term, Rebel
applied to their friends and kin
dred who wore the gray.

NEW TACTICS.

Governor Ellerbe has taken Il
new turn on the liquor problem
by sending out circular letters to
the preachers in the State. He is
tabulating their replies to ques-
tions propounded and will have
some interesting facts for the
,ideration Of the members Of
legislature at the next session
iro minister's representing tho
vnl lstian people of tho State arc
in IL position to know their senti
ments and can certainly give the
governor somo facts, worthy OF
his consideration. 1t is to be
hoped that the ministers will bo
careful to keep separate their in.
dividual views from the views of
their members, else their roplios
might be misleading.
Looking at the liquor problem
under existing conditions and
amid the present confusion Of law
it is difficult for a citizen who
loves God and his country to offe,
a satisfactory solution. II tn,
ministers can aid the governo
moro than tho Attorney Genera
and the rest Of his cabinet, tho
good people Of the State will be
delighted. Tho courts arc SLOW
coaches and congress is as equally
slow and uncertain, 80 n little &C.

fit at this stage of the proceedings.
In tho meantime the laity Will
take their choice between ORIGINAL
package and dispensary goods, and
await developments with patience.

NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-THE stock marker
today was for the most part extremely mar
row and professional but with one or two
exceptions the tone was firm and the move
ment of prices upward. There was little
news of general Importance but the traders
appeared to favor the inside. Higher Lon
don prices for American securities and
buying for that account here and the en-
larging investment inquiry induced by the
steady piling up OF Idle money were partly
instrumental in causing the bulls to force
covering by the shorts in number OF the
specialties. In some stocks of this class
also there was continued Liquidation but
the declines were confined to the particular
properties involved. Dealings in the rail-
way shares were on q trining scale and the
fluctuations mostly fractional. Sugar on
covering purs and simple, gained two
points. The reports in circulation regard
ing the negotiations for settlement be-
tween the Atchlson and Atlantic & Pacific
companies galvanized the stock and bonds
of the last mentioned line into comparative
activity at the trifl,ng gains. In the last
hour the general market was more spirited
than at any time during the day. The clos
ing was strong at the top level, with the
comparative figures showing sharp frac-
tional net gains. The bond market con-

SANTA BARBARA, Jan. 14-The rev.
enue cutter Corin is in the channel and
rumors are afioat to the effect that she
is on watch for the ship Swanhilda, on
which Murderer Frank Butler is sup
posed to be a passenger. AS stated in
the dispatches, Butler enticed several
men into the mountains in Australia
and killed them for the purpose of rob-
berry. Before his crimes were discovered
he took passage on the Swanhilda,
bound for San Francisco, and it is not
unlikely that the vessel will pass near
the Santa Barbara islands. Three de-
tectives, one from Australia and two
from Scotland yard, are aboard the

10 the public: 1 was seriously afflicted
for about ten years with lung, liver and
kidney. troubles. Tongue could never ev-
press the misery 1 endured during those
years. L was reduced in flesh until l was

troubled with constipation and piles, and
had a severe chronic cough. In short, life
was burden and death would have been
welcome, 1 was treated by various spec
ialists with out avail. l finally resolved TO
give Dr. Wong Him, of No. $50 Upper Main
street, trial. or course, like many others,
took only. a few doses of his life-giving
herbs to knock all the skepticisna out of
me. In just five weeks the doctor pronoun-
ced me cured and now can truthfuly say
that was never healthier and never felt
better in my life. My sight and hearing
are both fully restored; that obnoxious
cough. constipation and piles are entirely
cured, ana l am rapidly gai6ing in flesh,

Upper Main ST., Los Angeles, from a num-
Der of stubborn ailments, among which
were cnronlc Slck-neadacheS, dyspepsia
and kindred stomach troubles, heart affec-
tion and kidney disease. But what I con-
slider this physician execlled in, SO far as
my case is concerned, was in the restora-
tion of my eye service. Astigmatism
coupled with other disorders, was my af-
Fiction in this respect, and, although a
number OF well known skilled oculists in
some Of the larger cities of this country
advised me / should always have to de-
pend upon glasses, and receive but poor
service even then. DR.. Wong Hims rem
edies have enabled me to abandon totally
the use of any artificial help to sight and
my eyes continue to give such service
wonderful. To the skill and remedies Of
the physician named can alone be attrib-

throughout that puzzles those who knew
