There will be no excuse for those
teachers who wish to become more pro-

have no opportunity for self-improve-

for broadening their views on all the
living questions OF the day. Some may
say they are too much worn out after a
years work to take a course OF study In
vacation. But such a course as can be

as state should wash her hands of
this infamous business and the men
who inaugurated this corrupt political
machine within her borders. I favor
prohibition law for the whole state,
but would be willing after the state
had passed this law to exempt such
counties as, by a two-thirds vote Of
the Democrats of the county, would
ask to be permitted to sell under coun-
ty control, according to the provision
of the present state constitution Pro-
vided, such county would assume all
the expenses of the enforcement of the
law and the responsibility connected
with it's sale after it was exempted
from the state law. If the Prohibition
Democrats decide that they think best
to endorse some other Democrat for
the position, I will cheerfully abide
their decision and support loyalty
whomsover they endorse. From
business standpoint I could not afford
to give up my present position for that
of United States senator, and I have
no desire for political honors unless I
can by enjoying them honor the people
who confer them upon me, but there
is no sacrifice that I could make for
the good people and name of my state
that 1 would not willingly make if
called upon to do so. A. G. JONES.

TEACHERS AND TALK.-As a rule,
one. half of the words used by the
teacher may be omitted, and the effect
multiplied. We like to hear ourselves
talk, and keep the air rolling with
sound, thinking that there must be
highly charged thought with so much
rumbling noise . The ideal of
the teacher should be that of keeping
as nearly silent as possible during the
recitation.
No fault of the recitation is more
obstructive than that of too much talk
from the teacher. The beautiful rec-
tation is marked by the quietness and
seeming lack of effort OH the part of
the teacher, accompanied by mental
strain and stress on the part of pupils.
The recitation is for the sake of the
pupils effort and not the teachers ;
and whatever display of energy there
may be must come from them and not
from him.
Quite often the brilliant performance
of the teacher in the recitation puts
under suspicion the value of his work
to the class. The artistic teacher will
obscure himself as much as possible,
and make as prominent as possible the
effort and products of his pupils. Any
thing else, since the class is the end
and the teacher the means, is distor-
tion.-Arnold Tompkins.

THESE ARE SERIOUS CHARGES
Rev. Cyrus L. Brady, deacon of the
Protestant Episcopal diocese of East
ern Pennsylvania, ana chaplain of the
First regiment, Pennsylvania volun-
teers, in a sermon last Sunday night,
severely criticised the management of
the volunteer camps which came under
his supervision at Chickamauga, where
his regiment was stationed for a long
time. He said the medical, quarter
master and ordnance departments were
all to blame, and continued thus:
~ personally saw men left in the
hospitals in camps for SO hours without
any medical attendance whatever.
II saw men in those hospitals suffer-
ing from fever, with the rain beating
down upon them.
81 saw men committed to the care
of unskilled attendants when it was
absolutely impossible for them to re-
ceive anything like the attention they
deserved.
II saw men suffering from fever,
lying with their mouths open and their
mouths filled with flies"

CoNsTABLEs CHASED A COFFIN. -
Hamp Turner, the well.known dray-
man, tells a good story on the di>pen-
sary consrables. He says they chased
a pauper's coffin he had in his wagon
to search it for liquor. a day or so
ago, he says, he was driving through
Buckner street with a child's coffin
which he was carrying to Nrgr"'S
house out in Buckertown, when Con
stables Alton and Cooley espied him
and gave him chase. He did not want
them to be monkeying with the colli |,
so nc drove on rapidly and they re-
doubled their speed in order TO "v' +
take him. He reached hi, destination
Il few hundred yards ahead OF 'L'ln,
and carrying the coffin into the house
went out into the backyard.
II had hardly gotten out there" he
said, "when Cooley and Alton popped
around the side Of the house and say
ing, where's that thing?'
"'What thing are you talking about?'
/ said, and they got mad and said
knew very well what thing they meant.
"Oh ! the little dead nigger? He's
in the house yonder.'
About this time, Mr.. Turner says,
the constables heard the mother of the
dead child crying, and looking i'll
through the window they became sat
isfed that they had been led astray
by the wrong scent and slid away,
begging Mr.. Turner not to say any
thing about the occurrence.
Constable Cooley afterward admitted
to Officer Tucker that the constables
had been duped by Mr.. Turner, and
they joined in the laugh at his own
eXpense.-Greenville News.

TWAIN's MATERIAL For STORIES
In Berlin, when one pays his fare to
the conductor Of street car, he re-
ceives a ticket, which is soon after
ward collected by an inspector, who
boards the car at a fixed point. One
day, just as a joke, Mark Twain paid
his fare Is times on one trip, each time
throwing the ticket out of the window
or under his seat as soon as he had
deposited the regular fare with the
conductor. A few minutes later the
inspector would get on the car and
demand tickets all around. Of course
Twain had none to show and had to
buy another, apparently with reluct-
anee. The performance amused the
American, dumfounded the conductor,
who had never met 50 reckless pas
senger, and tickled the native passen-
gers, who thought the foreigner we'll
punished for his negligence. By this
modest investment, material was OBJ
tanned for capital story, which netted
Mark Twain just s500.--Octo5er La

close the following open letter:
To the Prohibition Democrats of the
State:
Believing that Senator Tillman is
largely responsible for our defeat in
the late primary election; that he is
more responsible than any other man
in the state for the opening of the
state dispensary and the trouble and
bloodshed that have been caused by
forcing it upon the Democrats of
South Carolina, have decided to ask
the Prohibition Democrats of the state
to endorse me as candidate before the
Democratic primary in 1900 for United
States senator to succeed Senator Till
man. And if they do so, will then
discuss the merits of the dispensary
before the people, and endeavor as a
Democrat who is deeply interested in
the welfare of the people, and the
good name of my state to convince
them that the state dispensary should
be closed to the sale of whisky
as beverage and that South Carolina

plunging knee deep into the creek. One
of the outlaws had slipped and stumbled
in the stream. In breath the agile lad
was on top of him, and struggling,
choking, half drowned, but clinging
like bulldogs, the two men rolled over
the pebbly bottom Martin held fast, and
quickly others came to his assistance
with ropes In few minutes the pris-
oner, bound cruelty tight, lay at the
bottom of the wagon, mat for the SOL

swift trot for the post, the pay chest
safe, but the paymaster murdered.

CLEAR Ice MAY BE DANGEROUS

CLEAR Ice MAY BE DANGEROUS
One of the hardest things to convince
most people of is that what looks to be
clear, limpid ice may contain very
dangerous impurities, says The Amer.
ican Cultivator. One of the effects of
freezing is to exclude such large and
solid impurities as soil or other sedl-
ments. But this does not by any
means guarantee that it is free from
bacteria, which swarm in all impure
water and are only made dormant by
being frozen in ice. 1t is meyer safe to
put ice in drinking water. If it is
placed around a metal vessel which
contains water it will cool it for drink
ing and with less waste of ice from the
heat taken from the water than if the
ice were put into it.

THE PROHIBITION ISSUE.
What A. C. Jones's Home Paper Thinks of
His Candidacy.

What A. C. Jones's Home Paper Thinks of
His Candidacy.
Newberry Herald and News.
We publish in another column the
card of Mr.. A. G. Jones in which he
makes formal announcement of his
candidacy for United States senator
against B. R. Tillman in 1900. He
makes prohibition for South Carolina
the main and only issue of his can
didacy. That is rather state than
a national issue and it would be better
to make it in running for state Office.
We suppose, however, that he consid-
ers Mr.. Tillman the head centre of
the offending in giving US the dispen-
sary and in keeping it on US, and he
wants to take a centre shot. The
liquor question may be out of politics
by that time. 1t is said Governor
Ellerbe favors local option, and as we
read Mr.. Jones's card, he favors local
option. That was the platform of
Colonel George D. Tillman and of
Colonel o. L. Schumpert, and that is
what we have said is the proper solu-
ton and so it may come about that
even before 1899 we may all be togeth-
er on the liquor question and the
dispensary may not be an issue in
1900.
Mr.. Featherstone fought for Prohi-
bition plain and simple, as we under
stood his platform. But it is two
years until 1900 and many changes
may take place during two years,
especially in the political world.

Ooburn Speaks of His Work,

After having been unanimously re-
elected to the office Of Secretary OF the
State Board of Agriculture, Mr. F. ID.
Coburn made the following brief but
comprehensive remarks. They are
worthy Of careful reading. He said:
ITO be the executive officer Of a real
Board of Agriculture, in a real agri-
cultural State, is no small honor. TO
be the executive of the Kansas Board OF
Agriculture is a great honor, and to be
made the recipient Of that honor for
fourth time is a distinction i am truly
appreciative of, and for which | tender
to you, good friends, my most profound
thanks from full heart Your board,
unless useful to the people, and espe-
cially to the agricultural people, has no
excuse for existence. Its Secretary,
whoever he may be, unless familiar
with these people through long asso-
citation, and in that hearty sympathy
born only Of like experiences through
like vicissitudes; If he has not walked
with them in the shadows and in the
shining; If he has not shared their joys
and sorrows, their hopes and fears,
their struggles and triumphs, all OF
which they have as the seasons come
and go, must be unsuited to his posi-
ton. Unless he studies and knows
their needs he cannot be helpful to
them; unless his work is made practi-
cally helpful to them in their every
day affairs, he and it are failures. 1t is
helpful that your present Secretary de-
sires to be, rather than noted or famous
I rejoice with you that we are Ameri-
cans, and that we live in Kansas. Surely
the rafters of heaven bend over no
fairer land; the morning sun and even
ing dew nowhere kiss into bud and
flower and fruitfulness a more respon-
sive soil; nowhere else do better men
and truer women build more wholesome

Reliable, PrOmpt-Paying Insurance.

Some days ago B. F. Pankey, the we'll

A portion of the insurance was In the
Farmers Alliance Insurance Company,
at Mcpherson. Settlement was imme-

impression of the company's methods
is best shown by the following letter to
it's President:

fair, not dwelling on any technical
grounds. which he might have done

company that it is safe, reliable and
