WHAT SMITH SAYS.
The Colonel comes to the defense Of the
MOundsville Company-He says that
one ninth of them did not want to

Fight Spain-That was all we said.
The following clipped from the
Index seems to criticise this paper
unjustly We did not say that the
whole. company had refused to go
to war but that considerable num-
Der of them had and that it was the
only company in the state in which
any had been found opposed to the
scheme. We further stated that had
the company been here that not a
man would have refused to go. The
Colonel says that one-ninth of the
men at Moundsville did not want to
fight. 1t would seem that that mum
Der was entirely too high to be at all
creditable to the company and they
should find some way to purge them
selves.
The article in question is as fol-
lows:
The DAILY New DOMINION is do
ing Co B. of the First Regiment a
great injustice. 1t does not mean
to do so, but is, we suppose, laboring
under misstatement of facts. In it's
issue Of Thursday the New DoMIN-
ION intimated that Co. B. declined to
offer its service to the government in
case of trouble with Spain, while the
facts are just the reverse A meet
ing was called at the time the com
pany was inspected by Major Willis.
"A large number of the members were
present and the question was unex-
pectedly sprung Eight-ninths of
the members present voted to volun-
teer on that occasion, and since that
time number of the one-ninth, who
voted against Offering their services,
have signified their intention Of GO
ing should their services be needed.
Should the Guards be called into
service Co. B. will make as good a
showing as any company in the
state.

From Our Soldier Correspondent.
CAMP CUBA LIBRE, JACKSON
VILE, Fla, Sept. 1I.-Yesterday, in
company with Corporal Brunette and
Private GaIlaher, 1 paid a visit to st.
Augustine, the Oldest town in the United
states. The first place we visited was
the Ponce De Leon hotel. said to be the
largest hotel in the world. 1t covers
eight acres and is an immense strue-
ture, and looks very much like the cas-
tIe OF some foreign king. II has two
MAGNIFICENT bridal chambers, one Of
mink and the other sky blue. Corporal
brunette has picked out the pink room
in which to stop when he comes south
on his honeymoon.
After leaving this place We journeyed
out 10 South Beach and took refresh
ing din in the breakers OF the broad At
lnntlc and after enjoying II for short
time, we hired carriage and an intel
ligent guide. A visit to the government
barracks was next in order. The Sixth
Regular Artillery Is stationed here ana
is having n good time OF 1t. Next we
saw the Oldest town In the United
states and a quaint old fashioned
house, with diamond shaped windows,
and large oaken doors; and next on the
programme was the old Spanish fort
which at one time enabled the spanish
- thta Of
America. It Is an immense stone struc-
ture with its old-fashioned mOat and
stone gateway and very much like some
ancient feudal castle OF some warlke
lord II is now used as a military prls-
on by Uncle Sam.
We also visited the old Spanish cathe-
dral. on whose stone front the sun dial
which told the natives the exact time
of day, one hundred years ago, still
faithfully performs It's duty. An old
stone slave market can stiii be seen,
so that person feels as II he were In

talks; whether to the edlhcation OF the
readers OF the Intelligencer. remains to

one OF the best Institutes ever held in
the citv, and al the teachers could en-
ter thelr school rooms on last Monday
morning feeling they had spent a week

the instructions OF Or. Gordy. Professor
Blampled and Miss Chapman. The three
instructors Will ever have warm
place in the hearts OF the Wheeling
teachers. Schools all opened suspicious
Is on Monday morning last The enroll
Ensnt was fully up to that OF last year
when II was larger than ever before.
The boys and girls have settled down 10
work. and the year just beginning pro-
misses TO be one of the best ever had IN
the Wheeling schools, Just as II ought
10 be. The teachers were disappointed
in not having supervisor Of drawing IN
our schools. but they are determined 20
continue the work as best they can
without one, The works exhibited at
the fair shows what can be done By the
teachers and pupils, without supervi-
scr and It ought TO prove that great
work could be done under the supervls-
ion OF one competent 10 judge. We
hope the time will soon come when our
worthy board of education can see the
way clear to give us supervisor in
drawing. A true education requires
that the hand be educated along with
the Intellect and the moral nature. and
the subject OF drawing lies at the very
foundation OF the training OF the hand
and the eye, and the moral nature OF
many a bog and girl has been reached
through this medium when all other
means have failed.

The matter of free text books Is some
thing that ought to concern our people,
but It seems that we are not keeping
pace with our nelghbors in this respect.
The writer knows OF pupils that are
out OF school Just because the parents
cannot afford to purchase the text
books, at least they will not do So II
may be said that books are furnished
those who are not able to buy them.
While this is true, many think II puts
them on the pauper list to apply Tor
books IN this way; and they cannot be
blamed for thinking so, for 1t does SAVIOR
OF the old time pauper system. True Il
Is NOT, set 1t looks that way to them. II
ia NOT necessary to argue this matter;
The true spirit Of free education, would
give the books Just as It gives the
school. Then to look at 1t In another
light It wonld be saving OF several
hundreds Of dollars every year, and
better care would be taken OF the
books-alve our schools free text BOOKS
and our pupils as a whole Will make
much better progress, from the TACT
that all would have books.
