''BuSted." "

One of the best things we have
seen on completing the State House
at Columbia is from the Laurens Ad-
vortiser. Editor Ball heads his arti-
cle "BUstcd." There seems TO be a
general disposition to "pile up taxes"
and that, too, when the agricultural
outlook in this section is far from
bright:
"Thcre is n small chorus of ap-
proval of somebody's suggestion to
finish the State House according to
the original plans. The estimates
arc pnt nt some 100000. We had
better go slow. If we start the
business it wont stop under some
millions. The House as it stands is
good enough for the work done
within it's walls. Then if we finish
it up after the original grand con-
ccptions it will require millions for
statuary of our great men. OF
course as an architectural study for
Columbians it would discount tho
plain factory and depot structures,
and intensity the COoglerian Colum-
bian trend. But better 90 slow.

NEW METHODS IN ADVERTISING.

Railway companies are adopting
new and unique methods of advertis-

cation in the -Four Track Series of
the New York Central Road, of
what is now becoming widely known
and somewhat famous, "A Message
to Garcia" by Elbert Hubbard, of
the Philistine Magazine, which itself
is a peculiar and interesting publica-

present day.
This article is attracting wide

Mr.. Bryan's Position.

The views Of Hon. w. j. Bryan
on the subject of territorial expan-
sion, conquest and imperialism are
well known, because he has SO often
| ana so ciea;: J proclaimed them.
But he has recently given the fol-
lowing succinct and admirable state
ment of his position III 4.tl
"The treaty should have provided
for the independence of the Philip
pine Islands, as it did for the inde-
pendence of Cuba, but / thought it
better TO ratify the treaty and de-
clare the nations policy by resolu-
tion than reject the treaty. t%a II
81 favored the Bacon resolution,
which promised the Filipinos inde-
pendencc as soon as a stable govern
ment could be established. believe,
further, that our nation should pro-
tect the Filipino Rcpablic from ous
side interference while it works out
its own destination in other words,
| believe we should treat the Fill
pinos as we have promised to treat
the Cubans, and as we have treated
the people Of Mexico and the people
of South and Central America.
Monarohies are founded upon force,
but Republics are founded upon con
sent. ".... .. f..-, ,-'l F..
"Thc declaration Of independence
asserts that governments derive their
just powers from the consent, Of the
governed. If the declaration is
sound, we cannot rightfully acquire
title by conquest or by purchase from
an alien monarch, whose title we
disputed when we furnished arms to
the Tilipinos.
eff the administration had given
to the Filipinos the assurance of in
dependence which was given to the
Cubans there would have beer no
bloodshed. If that assurance is
given now hostilities will cease. No
one proposes to withdraw the SOL
dicrs until stable government is
established, but it will be easy to
establish stable government when
it is known that our occupation of
the Philippine Islands is only tenn
porary. "

4 Grand Gathering Of Teachers.

In Los Angeles, CAL, last week
there was a warm welcome to the
several thousand delegates assembled
there at the Convention of the Ma.
tional Educational Association.
Each State and Territory of the
country was represented. A mum.
Der of foreigners were also present
Enthusiastic meetings were held
twice a 2ay-afternoon and night.
at which many able and appropriate
addresses were made. The Califor-
mia city was en- fete for the occasion.
The cause of educ"tion will be
greatly advanced by The good work
Of this body. One Of tho distin-
guished speakers said ......
"Our history has demonstrated
that we have no need of a great
standing army. 1t has demonstrated
chat iii every State may be found an
army ready at q moments notice to
defend our flag against every foe
And this army is not marshalled by
military chieftains, but by educa-
tional chieftains. A strong nation
is made, not by barracks for troops,
but by school houses for children
not by recruiting officers, but by
school masters; not by ritied cannon
and Mauser bullets and war vessels,
but by books and newspapers and
churches.
"That nation is strong whose citi-
zens obey the law without seeing a
standing army behind the law. That
nation is strongest whose laws are
based on civil law, and whose citi-
zens obey both Divine and human
laws because they are right. A
child obeys his teacher, who to him
is the law. The child law must be
concrete, as abstract ast the result of
a higher form of thought than the
concrete ; SO republic is a higher
type of government than monarchy.
We may need an army to subjugate
the Philippines, but the United
States would be distinctly lowered
in moral tone if it should ever be-
come necessary to maintain perma.
nently within the United States a
great standing army to secure to it's
inhabitants the blessings of peace.
If this is true, how great is the re-
sponsibility of the American school
teacher. Patriotism is in tn, -
it is the normal condition of living
under our flag"
Charleston has been selected as
the place for the next annual con-
vention of the National Educational
Association--a deserved compliment

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to euro deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inilamcd con-
dition of the mucous lining of tho eusta-
chian tube. When this tube gets inhamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can bo taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten arc caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but on infamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
