FULL OF TEACHERS.
More than 5000 Expected at the
National Educational Convention

Nearly every teacher in South Caro-
lima will attend the national educational
convention to be held next
July in Charleston. The National
Educator, in speaning Of the occasion,
say: This is the first time this conven-
tion has ever come South, and Charles
ton aud all South Carolina is to be con-
graduated. It is expected that 5000
delegates from the South alone will be
in attendance. The railroads have
granted favorable rates and privileges.
The convention was sent to the South
because of the general educational
awakening that seems to have come
upon our people. And it is not only
seeming, but reality. Our people
are waking up to the privileges and op
portuuities of education. And We
are arousing none too soon. This day

training. The man who is allowing
his children to grow up in ignorance is
raising them up for life of servltude.
We must educate or be slaves. A
father had better sell the coat Of his
back than allow his children to miss
the advantages Of at least common
school training. There are but few
men who cannot afford to send their
children to school. Let US awaken to
the necessity Of the thing and it is more
than half accomplished. 1t is splen
thing that We are building up our schools
and colleges. 1t is imperative that ne
give our children the opportunities that
they afford. And let no boy or girl

the best college training to be had.

on the part.of boy or girl, the oppor.

staff will attend.

HAMPTON on BRYAN.
Thinks he Has Good Chance of
Winning.

WHINING.
Gen. Wade Hampton still takes an
active interest in the politics Of the
State and nation and his judgment,
always sound on such matters, carries
weight in the councils Of the party.
Tuesday he talked with The News and
Courier representative at Columbis on
the attitude Of the Anti-Free Silver
Democrats Of the State towards VIM.
j. Bryan. He said:
Il don't think it worth while to
raise the currency issue in the coming
campaign. There is no doubt about it
that the great majority Of the people Of
the State are with Bryan and his silver.
views. Congress, in the end, has to
settle that question and think the
currency question should not be agita-
ted now. While / DO not agree with
Bryan ir his financial views, he is q
most remarkable man and he is square
ly on an anti-imperialistic platform
which should be the chief issue. Upon
that issue believe Bryan can win
and shall vote 10, him. Upon that
issue all Democrats can unite and heal
| the differences in the last campaign,
which resulted in the election Of Nc
Kinley, Bryan would certainly treat
the South with fairness, which cannot
be expected from any Republican Ad-
ministration. Bryan seems to be gain
ing strength in the North. Pennsyl,,
yania Democrats have already declared
for him and believe New York Demo
crat0, will do the same thing. lmperi,-
alism, if carried ont, will be the death
knell of this old Republic and that is
sue is now of far greater Importance
that the financial question. l believe
We should send strong delegation to
the Convention pledged to an anti-peri-
alistic policy. They will certainly be
for Bryan whose snsi-imperialist views
have made him stronger than ever IN
the South, and are increasing his
strength in the whole country"
Gen. Hampton intended going away
in q day or two, but deferred his de-
parture so as to remain here and hear
the address of Col. Bryan.

GEN. &. E. LEE.
His Memory Revered by the People in
Every Section.

The Journal has received scores OF
letters commencing heartily its reply to
q man in Michigan who was cruel
enough to say that he had intended to
move to Georgia but had changed his
mind after reading the eulogies Of Gen.
eral Robert E. Lee which some Of At
lanta's high school boys delivered on
the last anniversary Of that hero's birth.
These letters have come from every
section Of the Union, from as far east
as Massachusetts and as far west as
Oregon. Every one Of them has
brought testimony Of the respect, love
and venera,ion in which the character
and memory Of Robert E. Lee are held
by the people Of this country regard
less Of locslity, politics or past differ
ences. From the list We give our read
ers the following which is like all the
others in sentiment and tone:
ITO the Editor Of The Journal, Atlanta,
Ca:
Dear Sir-Your editorial, we
Don't Want Him, February Sd, answer
ing a Michigan ignoramus is intensely
and justly caustio. That any man could
be 80 ignorant and base as to credit
aught but sublimity and gradeur to the
life of Robert E. Lee, is not only q
clinching evidence Of his nanew minded
ness and depravity but 8 reflection on
his own community which would, no
doubt, hasten to repudiate such vile
utterances as being typical Of its senti-
ment. It is almost to be deplored that
a high class journal should have hon
ored such filthy article an editorial
space instead Of consigningit it to its pro-
Der and compsnionable place, the spit
toon. The intelligent people Of the
north, as well as Of the south, as we'll
as of the world, recognize in the life Of
General Lee unparalleled chivalry aRd
virtue and greatness. AS you have
seen 6t to answer the raving of fsns-
tic, you have done SO none too harshly.
Today, tomorrow, forever Lee is the na-
tons hero-Lee, the American
honored and loved alike by every de-
votee Of genius and noble manhood.
''CHAs. e. ELLIS.
''Siou1 Falls, s. D., Feb. g."
We thank the Michigan man for the
contemplate letter which has provoked
so many expressions Of appreciation Of
Robert E. Lee from citizens Of the
north and west who we're as devoted to
the Union cause as he could have been
but who are not like him blinded by
sectional hate. The latter and not the
former, we must believe, represent the
real feeling of the people of the north
in regard to General Lee and the deyo-
tion Of the south to his memory.-At-
lanta Journal.

BRYAN IN CHARLESTON.
Greeted by the Largest Audience
Ever Seen in that City.

In speaking Of Mr.. Bryan's visit to
Charleston The News and Courier of
Friday said:
whether it was tribute to the man
or the cause which he represents is not
matter for reportorial discussion, but
the fact remains that there was an su-
dience assembled at the Thomson
Memorial Auditorium last night to
greet Col. William Jennings Bryan the
like Of which has never faced single
orator 10 Charleston before. 1t was all
the more remarkable when you remem-
Der that it was not announced that Col.
Bryan would visit this city until after
! o'clock in the afternoon.
The Auditorium was ready for the
audience by 7 o'clock and the crowd
was not slow in coming. The ushers
quickly found their time fully occupied
in seating the streams Of people VINO
poured in at every entrance. They
came from all quarters of the city.
The cars coming flom uptown were
packed with them as early as 7.3O, an
hour and half before Col. Bryan could
possibly arrive at the Auditorium.
Those going down had people hanging
on to their railings, and all the while
the sidewalks for blocks away were
packed with never ending professions,
which marched steadily towards the
building.
The splendid capacity and facili-
ties Of the Auditorium were never bet
ter exempli6ed. The great building
received aud swallowed up the multi
,udes 10 a twinkliug. Other hundreds
followed them. They, too, disappeared,
and still there was scarcely scattering
Of peopleon the aoor and in the galleries.
But as time went on and there was not
the slightest diminution in the influx
the building became animated, and
then almost before you knew 1t you re-
slized that vast audience was present.
From the main floor an unbroken sea
of faces looked towards the stage. In
the galleries men and women crowded
against the railing, while hundreds OF
others ross in tier after tier above and
behind them. But still the people
poured in.
"The ushers, who had been working
for over an hour, met them and found
them places. The capacity Of the
place appeared to be mostinexhausti'

for the time being were tireless in thell
