cation Right to Show Partially
10 Teachers.
The State Superintendent of Education is
making his official career felt in this as we'll
other sections OF the State.
There has been some com plant at his cast
iron rules, and as far as we know. he has made
very few new friends In this county. The
people ilove justice and fair play. In some
instances they may see the wisdom OF all
this tommy rot ABOUT higher standards. One
notable thing Ia the examination papers.
For instance; what would the ability 10
answer Sc. of questions, like these, prove as
TO ones fitness TO teach school?
/. How far Is It from Jericho to Confed-
Q. Where was Moses when the light went
out?
s. If It costs thirty cents to ride.on the cars
would it take one-legged man to walk the
distance?
1. How old was Washington when he
died?
5. How much time will Uncle Sam need to
make good Sunday School children out of the
6. What would become of the country in
case Bryan should be elected President.
7. Can you give a good reason for continu-
ing me present dictatorial management OF the
S. Why should the State superintendent
questions which anybody could answer,
while others are given questions which lew
can answer?
9. Which do you think would be worse for
the State, the election OF the liquor ticket or
the perpetuation Of the present boss rule over
the schools
tlO. BY what authority does the State Superin
tendent of Education order the colored teach
ers OF Abbeville and Anderson counties TO

teachers did right in not submitting to the
requirement?
II. Do you believe the Governor did right
In refusing to pardon the bigamist as well as
Superintendent OF Education wherein 1t was
proposed to depose good and faithful officers
80 that the said Superintendent might have
his own pets appointed?
IL. Do you believe in the present iniqui.
tous law which appropriates 5000 OF the
States money for distribution among the Ia
vorites OF the State Superintendent OF Educa-

Superintendent OF Education and his paid
associates, to harry and annoy the teachers

The Carnival.

The Carnival opened It's gates yesterday
with flags flying, drums beating, horses gally
caparisoned, and shouters much III evidence.
Our ladies made most beautiful exhibits III
the Court House and the public park. lheS
uui tied as one in great effort to show thelr
handiwork and their skill, and most nooly
have they succeeded. The floral exhibit IN
the park is more beautiful than could be the
widest dream OF the beauty and loveliness OF
the Garden OF Eden. Grandmother Eve had
no conception Of the latent beauties OF nature
which her lovely grand-daughters have since
developed in the kingdom of flowers.
When It comes TO the fruit question, we
know that Grandmother Eve would not have
regarded sour apple If she had seen Mr.. j.
K. Blake's splendid assortment of the most
toothsome fruits that tempted the eye or
gratif1ed the taste of man. The old lady
would have helped herself bountilully and
then she would have helped the old gentle
man SO lavishly he would have died oil
com plant from the department of the Interior
The old lady herself would have expired from
the ombined effect of both physical and
mental suffering because she had nobody TO
send for The doctor. 1t Is a blessed thing that
Mr.. Blake's variety offruit added nothing to
the appetite or taste of the original fruit
eaters. AS a matter Of plain unvarnished
fact, Mr.. Blake has the incest fruit we ever
saw, 1t would take an expert to describe 1t.
Today the school children and the Veterans
will be the chief attractions In the grand
parade. Immediately after the parade the
speaking before the Survivors Association
will take place.
The parade yesterday was one OF the most
beautiful ever witnessed In Abbeville, and II
is said that the parade today will be sight

THE DECORATIONS.
The decorations OF our business houses are
very pretty. The Court House is done up In
fine style. The Glen-Ethel Is friDged all
around its parapet walls, and many stores

In Reply.

If the editor Of The State, who so often
throws his stereotyped epithets at men. who
are better than himself, could imbibe some
thing OF the instincts which govern gentlemen
he need not so often yield to the impulses
which characterize the conduct Of the bully
and the braggsrt. If he sought honorable
methods he would have no occasion. TO strike
beneath the belt. A good cause furnishes nc
good reason for resorting to the lowest and
the meauest methods known to men.
The right to question any mans Natiana
politics in 1900 is not conceded to any man
who bolted the State Democratic ticket In ls9t
and voted with a coterie TO overthrow the
Democratic State ticket in that year. -. e.,

Strikes.

The best evidence OF prosperity Is the
strikes by laboring men. When jobs are
scarce and hard to find no whisper OF strike
can be heard, but when business is brisk and
the demand for labor is great, strikes occur
In the South we have had fewer strikes than
elsewhere, and the lack Of strikes is evidence
that there Is still more labor than can find
profitable employment. AS soon as the man
ufacturing or industrial pursuits give profita
BILE employ yment to all, then some labor agita
tor will propose to make The corporation

China.

The situation in China is more and more
perplexing.
At Tieu Tsin a battle has been fought In
which the American suffered terribly. The
United States Government Is preparing 10
send more troops TO the East, II they should
be needed. The President has gone back to
Washington to meet his cabinet. Gen. Miles
may command American troops in China.
The Chinese are armed with the best imple.
ments Of war, and the allied troops may
have big job on their hands.
The war with China will temporarily stop
commerce with the United States. In this
many cotton mills of the South will suffer.

which it wisely solicited and -ourted IN

wants to exert that influence which

thrifty practice of its officers of forcing
the circulation and advertising patron
age OF their individual publications
through the agency of their official
positions. The time is sure to
come when the National Association
win be forced to take such action for its
own Interest anu lOA ITO OWh bSSNt
We copy the above from the W1Hs
ant .Sbfyt Gazette, OF New York.
The National Retail Liquor Dealers
Association appears to have fallen from
ITS high estate. The rehuke OF its
methods, or rather the methods OF its
managers, in the above article is untor
tunately a merited one. The interests
of the members have become matters of
secondary importance to the officers.
Private ends are now pushed to the
neglect of the general good. Opponents
are already in the 6eldand are gathering
strength every day. Only week ago
a branch of a rival organization was
instituted in this city which bids fair to
completely outstrip the older concern.
Whether It will be Of any practical use
remains to be seen. If the usual number
of "official organs follow in its wake
its existence will! be short. Retailers
need rganization-they never lacked
organs. The sooner they find it out the
better for themselves.

How RathbOne Spent Cash.

Estes G. RSthbone's personal expen-
ses during his official career as director
general of posts in Cuba reached a grand
total of $4,000 All this was paid out
Of the postal funds. The sum of 50, 900
was expended in furnishing the house
were given; almost as much more was
spent in fitting up his stable, and there
were allowances galore for domestic
supplies, servant hire, and divers
incidentals, all purely personal in char
acter.
The transcripts Of postal records
which Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow brought from Havana
are said to convict the late director of
the srossest' extravaganza, wholly un-
warranted by even the most liberal
construction Of the remarkable postal
code under which he operated.
Mr.. Bristow maintains silence as to
the facts disclosed by his investigation,
but it is well known that the reports Of
the inspectors who examined Rath
bones books set forth fully the out
rageous expenditures referred to-.
These reports are being summarized, it
is understood, for examination by the
Postmaster General who is expected to
take up Mr. Bristow's report.
There is much comment, especially
at the War Department, over the delay
in the Nicely case. 1t is known that
Governor General Wood is very anxious
to deal with the embezzler and all his
coniederates at the earliest possible
moment.

The next annual convention of the
National Retail Liquor Dealers Associ
alton will be held in Baltimore this fall
The National Retail Liquor Dealers
Association has no official organ. 1t is
on record with resolution which reads:
"Resolved, That we favor the
unqualified and hearty endorsement OF
ALL papers and journals now being
published in the United States in the
interest of the trade, and welcome the
dav when the press everywhere will be
led to a more just recognition of human
rights and personal privileges"
The constitution OF the same Nationat
Association declares that "the National
Association shall have supreme iurisdic-
tion over all State Associations
The foregoing official declarations
concerning the trade papers have never
been rescinded, repealed or in any way
modified. They are in force today, yet
there are a number of liquor papers
published by officers or exofficers of the
National AssOciation-some of which
were not even IN existence when the
National Association was formed
which boldly claim to be "officiai
organs" either of the Natioual or some
subordinate State Association. In some
cases the Offices OF these papers and the
Offices OF the National Association are
combined in the same rooms, while the
official stationery used carries the cards
of the association and of the Journal
coniolntly. All OF which is plainly
intended to convey an impression OF the
pretended official character Of the publi-
cation, to the end that patrona Ee may
be secured by false pretenses, 1t is a
bunco game all the way through. The
National Association has had attention
called to this manifest imposition again
and again. But apathy and indifference
have so TAR prevented action.
This repreheusible practice OF the
officers of the National Association to
use their official positions for the purpose
OF enrichIug themselves is at the bottom
Of the utter lack OF influence which the
National Retail Liquor Dealers Asso-
citation has in the halls OF our national
Iawgiyers. Members Of Congress who
are in touch with their constituents are
generally well informed OF the hidden
springs and inner workings OF the
appeals that are made to Congress by
organized trade interests.

PrOhibItiOnIsts and the President

The most striking feature Of the Pro-
hibition national convention was the
outburst OF approval with which The
attack on the President in the platform
was received. The Prohibitlonists feel
particularly bitter toward the President
because he permits wine on the White
House table when guests are present
and the cauteen to be retained in the
army. They do not take into account
the fact that he cannot always do just as
he wants to in regard to the White
House table. and that in permitting the
canteen in the army he is but obeyinG
the law as interpreted by the Attorney
General.
The President is a member OF the
Methodist Church, and, it is probable,
is pretty nearly prohIbItionist. That
is, perhaps, the main reason why the
prOhibitionists feel so bitterly toward
him. They seem to think that he is
acting for political reasons against his
convictions.
