that the trust will get the benefit
of this reduction that L cannO6
conceive by what method of a'gu
ment gentlemea en- present any
other view. In the first place, IN
the last Congress whed tins bill
passed this House, taking off the
differential on sugar, that diffefei'
tial by which the sug trust sub
sist, the bill went to the Senate
and there it remained in committee
and did not come out OF the CON-
mitee at all during that sess Oh
" hat was the power that he d
if in committee? Was it the Cuban
PLANTER, who was at that time said
to be suffering in Cuba? No; for
the Cuban planters did not prod
uce one single pound of refined
sugar. Not only do they produce
no refined sugar for export from
their county, but they ac ually
import refined sugar from the
United States to Cuba for their
consumption. They could not
and din not complain tecause The
differential was stricken off.
Did the President, find ne the
dIfferential had been taken Off in
the House, and advocating reel
proclty because as he cOntented
of the p verify of the Cuban
sugars brought in this country,
send a message to the Senate, as
he had done in the House urging
the immedl ate passage of the bill?
He did not. The taking off the
differential was the destruction
of the sugar trust. The passage
of the Cuban reciprocity bill WI n
the retention of the differential
was in the interest of the sugar
trust SO that the old lines drawn
by the President to give this adj
ditional bonus to the trust had to
be abandoned, for the trust would
not permit a reduction of the ia
riff rates on sugars of the world
That course, therefore, had to be
abobded. Meanwhile the Senate,
through a committee, commenced
an INVESTIGATION of this matter
to ascertain what connection, If
any, the sugar trust had with the
move for the reduction of the ia
riff on Cuban sugars.
1t is due. to the splendid work
uf Senator Teller that a direct
conr ectlOn was established be- we
en- the sugar trust and the move
ment to reduce the tariff on Cub,
an sugars 1t was through the
efforts OF s. natOr Teller that it
was ascertained that literature
sent out in the interest of this
movement had been paid for by
the trust. And while Mr.. Have
meyer, president of the American
Sugar Refining Company, had de
clared before that committee his
indifference to the passage of this
measure, yet Mr.. Thurber, presi-
dent of the United States Export
Association, was forced by Sena
tor Teller to the admission that
the sugar trust had contributed
at least 50 500 toward conducting
the campaign in behalf of the re
duction of the tariff on Cuban
sugars. A friend of mine, referring
to this matter, called this measure
a rec procity treaty between Have
meyer, of the American Sugar
Refining Company, and Thurber
of the United Sta es Export AS

An Historic Paper Weight.

The paper weight which did service
on the desk of the presiding officer OF
the secession convention at St.
Andrews Hall, on Broad street, de-
stroyed in the big fire of 1861, has
been returned to the st. Andrews
Society, being formally presented to
the society by Rev. Alex. Mitchell,
of Greenville, through Major r. G.
Thomas, of the Sonth Carolina Mill.
tary Academy on Saturday night.
The paper weight was among the
effects saved by Capt. Ward Hop
kins, of the Sumter Guards, at the
time of the fire. The relic has since
been in the family and for long
time it has been the intention of
Rev. Mitchell to return the relic to
its proper custodians. This oppor-
tunity was taken advantage of at the
meeting on Saturday night. The
relic is acommon looking iron weight
without any special design upon it,
The St. Andrews Society now
owns the table, six chairs, the gavel
and paper weight which did service
in the historic convention.--Ch Charles

Carolina Regiment at Gaines's Mill.

At the battle of Gaines's Mill,
fought June 27, 1861, Orr's Rifles.
the famous regiment from South
Carolina, carried 537 men into action.
Of these 81 men were killed, 284
wounded and 4 missing, making q
total loss Of 319 men. The regiment
was commanded by Col. j. Foster
Marshall, who said in his report OF
the battle that in front of the place
where the regiment fought there
were 253 dead Penn sylvania Buck
tails and 80 dead Zouaves, and that
% wounded men were captured by
the regiment. Speaking of the ex.
cellent firing done by the regiment,
Col. Marshall says that in his front
there were no bullet marks on the
trees less than three feet nor more
than six feet from the ground. The
editor of the Medium was upon the
detail to bury the dead and the view
OF the battlefield was certainly appall-
ing.-Abbeville Medium.

Contempt Of Court.

In the case of famous criminal
trial in Southern State last month
the attorneys for the State treated
one of the witnesses to such injus-
tice in a severe cross examination
that the judge sent the jury from
the room that he might express his
disapprobation. He protested that
if such cross. ss.examinations were al
lowed "no men of delecate feeling
will dare to come Into this court
house as Witness" and he expressed
the opinion that the method of the
CROSS examination was simply part of
ga plan to browbeat and beat down
every witness offered" He said |:
eff the witness comes into court he
has right to protection by the court,
and | shall attempt to protect him,
otherwise every man that comes in
the court will run the risk of having
his character blackened." The Judge
should not have stopped at talk. He
should have punished for contempt
of court, either by fine or otherwise,
the offending attorneys. One of the
greatest drawbacks to the admins
tration of justice to-day is the con-
tempt into which the courts have
come by permitting browbeating and
badgering not only of witnesses, but
also of talesmen for jury service.
Respectable men hesitate to perform
their duty to the State as witnesses
or as jurymen because of the license
in handling them permitted to at
torneys, the majority of whom mar
rowly escape shysterism. Many
judges who are extremely sensitive
about contempt of court in other
particulars permit officers of the
court, to-wit, the lawyers, to treat
the court with contempt. A bit of
respect for itself in this particular,
manifested in fine, imprisonment or
disbarment of offending lawyers,
would increase the respect of the
!, common people for the courts.

Educational /
Teachers are Born, Not Made.

AS the country school is the ques.
tion of the day, / should like 10
speak few thoughts on the subject.
What teacher among us does not
recognize that rural teaching is the
ideal teaching of all? just for q
moment picture the little square
school room, with the teacher in the
center, and the merry children COM
ing in, with faces all aglow, ready to
do or say anything that the teacher
might tell them. True enough, the
teacher is seldom exercised in more
than his academic branches, but the
dear country ohildren's minds and
hearts are 80 flexible that it is lovely
to teach them.
Now, from my experience in coun-
try teaching, believe the pressing
need of to-day is, not so much the
teacher who has taken an A. b.
course in college, as the teacher who
has natural ability to impart his
knowledge of the studies used in
the country school. Teachers are
born, not made.
1t is my privilege to know several
good teachers who have never fin
ished the course in any college; yet
their minds, their hearts, and their
strength are 80 absorbed in their
work that very satisfactory results
are being obtained. To have fin
ished school is no objection---it is a
help; but understand me when say,
using my own experience as my
guide, that it is no essential element
in the country teacher. / once had
a schoolmate who could translate
page after page of Latin with the
greatest ease, but had she been re-
quired to help the blunt pupil see
the beauties in compound proper
tion, it would have been almost an
impossibility.
Teaching is Divine gift, and the
higher and nobler should be sought
therein. 1t requires something be-
sides knowledge of text books to
take the little modest school child
and probe it sufficiently to bring to
observation the hidden treasure
which lies buried in thousands of
these unpretentious ones, who might
be pronounced by the unskilful
teacher to be stupids.
"I.et US then be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait"

"One-half of the world knoweth
not how the other half liveth." The
population of India is almost three
hundred millions. A careful esti-
mate by Sir Robert Giffen puts the
aggregate annual income of all the
people at four hundred and sixty
eight million pounds sterling. That
would make their average earnings
seven dollars and eighty cents a
year, or two and one-seyenth cents
a day. Another authority, a writer
who presents reasons for his opinion
that Sir Roberts estimate is too
high, puts the gross income of the
people of India at two hundred and
ninety million pounds sterling, which
works out at one cent and one-third
day. 1t should be borne in mind
that the population of India is agri-
cultural, that the people live for the
most part on the produce of their
soil, and that their need of clothing
and fuel is small. Visitors to the
country do not find that they are
in abject poverty.-The Youths
Companion.

Hot Supper Near Anderson.

The negroes had hot supper last
week on Stonewall Watson's place,
four miles above Anderson, and, of
course, a shooting scrape took place.
One negro, whose name could not
be learned, was promoting the fes-
tivities with pistol. He fired two
shots, which went wild, but the third
bullet ploughed it's way through Jim
Dennis's cheeck and struck Henry
Aiken in the mouth. Aiken caught
the bullet between his teeth and
spat it out on the ground. Neither
of the negroes is badly hurt, but the
bullet was battered out of all resem-
blance to its original shape.

An Extraordinary Session.

According to the Constitution, the
President "may, on extraordinary oc-
casions, convene both houses" of
Congress, or either of them. The
President, who is the sole Judge
whether the occasion is extraordi-
nary, has called Congress together a
month earlier than the usual time of
meeting.
Extraordinary sessions have often
been held, and some of the most inn
portant measures have been enacted
at such sessions. President Cleve-
land summoned Congress to meet in
August, 1903, because of the preva-
lent distrust and apprehension con-
cerning the financial situation. In
response to his urging, the silver
purchase clauses of the act of 1890
were repealed.
The Congress which President
Mckinley called in special session in
March, 1897, passed the Dingley ta-
riff bill. For three years the ma
tional expenditures had been greater
than the national receipts, and some-
thing had to be done TO increase the
revenues.
1t is neither to increase the reve-
nues nor to prevent domestic finan-
cial disaster that Congress has been
called together this time, but rather
to fulfill the national pledge to assist
dependent republic. In urging the
adoption of reciprocity measures
the President, in June, 1902, said to
Congress that this country ought to
help Cuba as "it struggles upward
along the painful and difficult road
of self-governed independence" But
Congress failed to act. Then the
President, in his annual message in
December, said that we were "bound
by every consideration of honor and
expediency to pass commercial meas
ures in the interest of her ell-being."
Still nothing was done. Now Con-
gress is urged for the third time to
keep faith. 1t will indeed be an ex-
traordinary session, and whatever
may be the result, the fact that it
was called at all must always rebound
to the national credit.-The Youths
Companion, November s.
