Cuba is to have a navy; not in the
modern sense of great war vessels in
large numbers, for the reason that she
will not need any such establishment.
The may of the United States will
give Cuba all the protection she could
desire against possible foreign enc
mics. The Cuban navy, therefore, will
consist of a few cutters and gunboats
the sole function Of which will be to
prevent the operations OF smugglers.

MIR. w. A. Taylor, who is candidate
for representative in the General AS
sembly from Screven county. is a vet
eran of the Confederate army. He
served from the beginning to the end
of the war, and at the conclusion of
hostilities returned home practically
penniless. With indomitable pluck
however he went to work on his farm,
some four miles from Sylvania, where
by industry and economy, he has be-
come fairly well off. He has always
been a farmer, and is a Democrat
of the true-blue stripe. He has served
his county in various ways, and is re-
garded as one of it's best citizens. He
is a Mason and a member of the Bap-
fist Church, and there is every reason
to look on him as a candidate of the
people. Screven will make no mistake
in sending him to represent her at the
capital.

NOT AS IMPORTANT AS THEY THINK


Judged by their actions many rich
people think the rich are the salt of
the earth, and have a right to do pref
ty much as they please. They ought
to spend their money of course, and
spend it freely, but not in a way to ex-
cite the envy of their less fortunate
fellow mortals. There are ways for
spending it that will call down bless.
ings on their heads and at the same
time bring them far more genuine hap
piness than many of the ways that are
now employed in getting rid of it.
These remarks are suggested by a
sermon preached by the Rev. Charles
d. Olmsted, in ST. Agnus Chapel, New
York, last Sunday. st. Agnus Chapel
is a branch of Trinity Church. Among
other things, DR.. Olmsted is quoted as
, saying that the wealthy have become
a nuisance to society and a menace to
public safety by their pursuit of new
fashions and their desire for speed >"
He is not a sensational preacher, and
therefore what he said has been the
subject of considerable comment, as
showing the tendency of modern
thought.
What DR.. Olmsted had especially in
mind was the killing of j. c. After
bury last Monday in the collision be-
tween Edwin Gould's yacht and a ferry
boat, and the manning recently of one
or two children in the streets of New
York by rapidly driven automobiles.
1t is evident that DR.. Olmsteds re-
mark was altogether too sweeping. The
percentage of the wealthy that live fast
and ride fast and make a display of
wealth is comparatively small. But
small as it is it does a great deal of
harm, because it arouses a feeling of
bitterness against the rich. Such a
feeling is regrettable, for there is bound
to be wealthy people as long as the
capacity of some for accommodating
wealth is greater than that of others.
The aim of such teachers as DIR. Ohm
sted therefore should be not to rail at
the wealthy, but to induce the wealthy
to use their wealth for the uplifting of
humanity, for relieving suffering and
for the spread of education and reli-
gion.

Mr.. E. o. Hovey. curator of the
American Museum Of Natural History
who is in Martinique investigating the
recent volcanic eruption. asserts that
Mont Pelee did not take advantage
of the natives of the island, but gave
them ample warning of the pending
eruption. For two years. he says, the
mountain gave signs of trouble to
come, and for month before the ter
rife outbreak uttered warnings that
should not have been mistaken. La
Soufriere, in St Vincent, he says, also
warned the people before it sent its
rain of death upon them These things
being true, it seems that competent
observers in the volcanic islands ought
to be able to predict eruptions far
enough in advance of their occurrence
to permit the people of reach places G.
safety. Mr.. Hovey says Pelee threw
dust. ashes and stones to the hight
of four miles.

CHARLEsTox,s EXPOSITION.

At midnight Saturday the electric
lights of the splendid Court of Pal
aces at the South Carolina Interstate
and West Indian Exposition will be
turned off for the last time, and the
Charleston Exposition will pass into
history. 1t seems to be a foregone
conclusion that when the accounts
have been made up the balance will
be found on the wrong side of the
ledger. The enterprise has not been
a financial success. That, however,
seems to be the average fate of expo
sitions. 1t is an exceptional undertake
ing of the kind that pays expenses and
leaves something for it's stockholders.
But, while falling as a money maker,
the Charleston Exposition proved a
most magnificent success as an illus
tration of the pluck and public spirit
of its promoters. and as a demonstra-
ton of the progress and resources of
the section it represented. AS an edu-
Gator its value cannot be overesti-
mated, and as an advertiser of the
South Atlantic section it's influence will

stion was visited by tens of thousands
of persons. Among them were num-
bers of people looking for opportunities
for profitable investment What such
persons saw in Charleston was sutfi-
cient to set them to thinking of the
possibilities of the South; and once
would-be investor gets into the think
ing frame of mind with respect to a
certain section, he is pretty apt to end
by investing, if the section is so in
viting as that to which the Charleston
Exposition was especially devoted.
Another detail of success in connec-
ton with the Charleston show was the
smoothness with which it went
through its six months of life. There
was not an untoward or regrettable
incident. The management left moth
ing to be desired. All charges We're
very reasonable, and the crowds were
admirably handled. The disposition to
"gouge," so much in evidence at most
expostions, was entirely absent in the
city of Charleston and at the exposi-
ton during the whole period.
From an artistic point of view The
Charleston Exposition was a perfect
and harmonious picture. 1t is a pity
that it's beauties were ephemeral. 1t
will be many years before it's equal is
seen again in the South, or elsewhere.
Placing the points of the exposition's
success against the single point of it's
financial deficiency, it may be said that
the former by far overbalance. the lat
ter. We congratulate Charleston and
the managers of the exposition upon
their splendid achievement.

EFFIE ALTON WRECKED
As YEARS AGO TODAY

Forty-siX years ago this morning
at o'clock the steamer Effie Alton
was wrecked in collision with the
old Rock Island bridge. After the
collision the craft took fire and float
ed and lodged ON a sand bar just be-
low where the river is spanned by the
Crescent bridge.
j. W. Lawhead, one of the witnesses
of the accident, states that he can re-
call the scene as clearly as if it hap
pened yesterday. He was working as
an apprentice in the old pillow works in
the west end of the city and had just
reported for work that day when he
heard of the wreck. Then he saw the
boat float down till it struck the
sand bar and burned to the waters
edge. All the passengers were saved.
