ItaIy's Impoverlsnea army.

The necessity of calling out the men
who were released from service with
the colors last year draws attention
once more to the state of the Italian
army. There are ~ army corps, and
so limited are the financial resources of
the country that after the staff and
the officers have been provided for
there is little left for the rank and file.
The sad consequence is that, notwith-
standing the scores of millions Italy
has spent on her army in the past, and
the l0,C00CO0 she is still spending an
nually. 1t is insufficient TO insure the
security Of the country. More men have
to be called under arms, because the
companies Of every regiment are much
below their normal strength Rome

garded as the weekly terror.
tits not best to devote the whole
afternoon to entertainment Of any
kind, for fear it will lose it's flavor and
cease to be novelty. Try not to

we'll to give the management Of the

subject to the approval of the teacher.
What child does not like the cid fash

the children to sing some of their

WAR !!

Tho Tinted States and Spain are
now looking 6ercely at each other ana
each are watching for an opportune
moment to strike fatal blow. Inc
high seas are being patroled BY our
feet and every day comes the news OF
the capture of some Spanish vessel
that left port before there was any
definite understanding as to what
would be the outcome of the dlplo-
matte correspondence between the
two countries; number of these yes
sells left their havens fully expecting
that Spain and the United States
would settle their differences with
the pen instead Of the sword, and as
a consequence they were taken by
surprise. The American fleet has
taken several fine prizes and 1t has
also established blockade OF Ha-
vana and other Cuban ports From
the dispatches Oh Monday Moro
Castle fred several Intellectual shots
which were not even returned by our
vessels. The army is about ready
TO invade Cuba, and besides the reg
ulars President Mckinley has issued
q cali for 125,000 men to do this
work. South Carolina's portion will
be about 1000, which will be made
up principally, if not wholly, from
the organized militia.
The strange part Of this war Is
that Spain does not seem to have
any vessels around the Island to pro-
tect Der interests, and many think
she has surprise in store for US;
lust what it can be we have no idea.
Her feet is about 1000 miles away
from her Cuban possessions, from
which Sue has been ordered to va
cate, and so far there has been no
attempt made to prevent the op1'eo
States from doing as it pleased.
The entire country is waking up
to the realization OF the existence
of wal and there is but one sentl-
ment, "This United Country's flag
must not be allowed to trail in dis
honor"
It will be some time yet before re-
liable news can be obtaireo as
the lighting for the present will be
On the sea. The Associated Press
whic:. accompanies the fleets will
have to be depended on for the best
information; at present all kinds OF
fake dispatches are being sent out,
and it is hard to tell what to believe;
for instance, one report came tnat
the City Of Paris was captures,
bound for America with $50 pass
engers and cargo of munitions OF
war; the next day the same vessel
was reported well on her way home
and out of danger, and also reported
to have put inio French port. But
when the war begins in earnest we
hope the dispatches will be more re-
liable.

Friday Afternoons.

BY all means vary your regular
work, at least, once week, and 40
better time can be found Tor this
thar Friday afternoon; We feel that
the weeks work is over anal that a
relaxation is necessary In tie first
place, We would suggest that some
time be given to the current events;
no child should grow up il Ignorance
of things that are now happening,
for to-day's accomplishments will be
history tomorrow. Newspapers might
be brought to the school house dur
ing the week for those who do not
have access to a daily papers and IN
effort made to encourage keeping up
with the times. Devote some time to
the discussion of important affairs,
but do not bring up minor things,
unless for some special purpose.
Then, n,too, arouse an interest in Civil
Government by frequent talks on this
subject. Let two OF three OF the best
informed pupils prepare papers on
the different departm cuts or kinds of
government and have those read,
then supplement the papers by short
talks. Learn all of the names Of Off
GERS and try to keep up with the
changes as they occur; this will add
interest 10 our study. Leave clear
impressions, for confusion of ideas
is not much better than ignorance.
Another thing that Should be insisted
upon as much as reading and spelling
is defamation. Never forget that
your pupils may be called upon tc do
public speaking at some time in the
future, and in order to do this well
the training should begin early. Ap-
point several scholars to speak every
Friday afternoon and devote as much
time as you can TO training these; it
is far better not to do this at all than
to half do it. Correct position, voice
and gestures, and omit the last un-
less they come spontaneously y; ma
chinery movements are ludicrous.
Cultivate desire for good literature
by frequent readings of selected pas
sages from standard authors; call at
tention to the manners, customs and
habits Of different nations; show the
pictures of prominent men to the pu-
pills; they should, at least, recognize
the pictures of most standard English
and American authors at first sight;
this time might be profitably devoted
to composing, reading, and CRITICS.
ing compositions and letters; aud in
sect and plant life would furnish ma
terial for several delightful afternoons.
Interest the children in your plans,
this is key note of success in this
work.

The Monroe Doctrine.

Among the many reasons for war
with Spain that have been advanced
BY the eager belligerents of Congress
.he Monroe doctrine has of course,
lad prominent place. When other
causes of war were disposed Of in
argument, the Monroe doctrine was
the haven of retreat This Monroe
doctrine, like charity, covers multi
tude of sins in the eyes of our states
men, and few of them seem to appre-
ciate what the doctrine really is. It
is q pronouncement which cannot un-
der any circumstances be brought to
fit the Cuban question, unless the in-
surgent government of the island is
recognized as the lawful adminlstra-
ton for Cuba. Some people seem to
think that the Monroe doctrine places
US in the position Of continental
guardian OF all the territory Of the
western hemisphere, whether that
territory be in possession of native
or foreign governments. They would
persuade US that under its decla1a-
ton we have the right to direct the
governing OF American colonies by
European suzerains. President Mon
roe did not advance such an extreme
doctrine nor has any intelligent
statesmen ever interpreted his pro-
nouncement to such a meaning. Pres
ilent Monroe specifically declared
that with the existing colonies and
dependencies of any European power
we have not interfered and shall not
interfere" The United States as
serted the right to prevent asgres-
sions OF Europe, not to disturbe ex-
listing relations. Our government
will not permit Europe TO acquire
another foot of American soil, nor
will we assist in wrestling from
Europe one foot of territory it now
holds. That is the Monroe doctrine.
Actually, the policy we have adopted
towards Spain in regard to Cuba is
violation on our part Of the Monroe
doctrine. If any colony of Europe
in the western hemisphere shall gain
its independence from the mother
country, it comes at once within the
scope OF the doctrine, and never
again with our consent, shall it pass
under the dominion of foreign
power. But until this autonomy is
actually achieved and acknowledged,
we are pledged to respect the suzer-
ainty of the foreign nation, and to
restrain interference with its author
ity.
In the Cuban affair, we may find
justification for interference, but GER
tainlv not under the Monroe doc
trine. If Cuba were free from Spain
with a government OF her own, we
would be acting with full consistency
in resisting Spanish dominion OF the
island, but we, ourselves, have denied
the existence Of a Cuban government,
and the island remains possession
of Spain, technically atleast
However, we do not intend to dis
cuss the relation of the Monroe doc
trine to the Cuban question, but
rather to note its application in

Il Quotation Club.

TO man who IS not up tree, the
following plan OF spending Friday
afternoon has presented ltseif-not
every Friday afternoon, but two out
Of the month say, should be spent in
this way. But to the plan itself, it is
this, to have ali your pupils Of the
higher grades to provide themselves
with nice note books in which to take
down quotations from our best poets,
essayists, and critics. Let these quo
tations be gathered by pupils,as much
so as possible, the teacher, of course,
taking a general supervision Of the
work and making such suggestions
for advancement as may seem neces-
sary. Quotations should be cleaned
from the general reading of the pupil
and not from books of cut and dried
quotations; for most pupils will take
more interest in quotations gathered
By themselves and their fellow Stu
dents from their daily reading than
in any procured from books Of quo
tations, although the latter may be
better.
Let the teacher, too, from time to
time contribute his share, 10 more,
to the common stock, taking care
that bis quotations fill Out lines that
may be neglectek by his pupils. II
his pupils are inclined to contribute
an over-supply along lines OF human
or worldly wisdom, let him bring in
som thing more serious. If, however,
pupils become too fond OF furnishing
serious matter, the teacher should
bring in few quotations Of a lighter
vein. One of the chief aims is to
have variety Of these best sayings
of our best writer's. Then on Friday
afternoon, let each pupil give his fel-
low pupils the benefit OF his weeks
cleaning; let there be a general dis
cussion OF quotations given; let the
teacher select some of the best of
them and have them memorlzed by
himself and pupils.
This, itseems to US, would be a
pleasant and profitable Way to spend
two Friday afternoons out OF the
month; for all would doubtless take
delight in such work, and the work
would stimulate longing for good
literature; finally, the storing away
in the memory OF these good princi-
pies of right living is of untold bene-
fit to any man and will result in hap
piness, where otherwise there might
be misery, wretchedness and igno-
rance.

as loyal to the nation as our senior
Senator would boast on the floor OF
Congress, then for US 'tto simply as
sumo an attitude Of willingness"
would be hypocrisy and not the 10y
atty that true men have to offer their
country.
We were opposed to the war, as we
had a right to be, and if by reason of
our argument we could have done
something to have averted war we
would have felt proud of our efforts,
but war is here, the nation is involved
with foreign foe and true Americans
must not simply assume an attitude
of willingness, but they must 1e-
spond to the call OF their country
with even more enthusiasm than the
Spaniasds did when their ruler sound
ei the tocsin.
South Carolina has been horribly
misrepresented to the world by some
who ought not to have done SO, and
when Governor Ellerbe calls for vol
unteers the editor of the News and
Courier who telegraphed to Wash
ineson that ''the South Carolina mi
litia refuse to fight in Cuba or out OF
the State will see that the militia OF
this State are made up of men who
boast OF being Carolinians and the
records OF their ancestors. The mi
litia of South Carolina will, if neces-
sary, go to Cuba or anywhere else
they are ordered to fight for their
country, "the land OF the free and the
home of the brave"
We must think that Senator Till
man intended his letter to be kept
private, for we cannot conceive OF
how a man with his usual good sense
and candor, could after his magnih-
cent speech in the Senate, advise a
course for the militia of his State
which would bring them into the
contempt Of the world.
