public school, in the rural public school, for the
rural public school is the first school of the
masses of our people. And We are especially in
terested in all those forms of education which
look toward thrift, industry and usefulness.
"4) The second of the assumptions of which
I have spoken carries with it a further assumption
which should be obvious to all. The york per-
formed through Southern men and through those
who are in touch with Southern men will neces-
sarily be performed in harmony with Southern
conceptions and in conformity with the educa-
tional system of our Southern States. Nothing
has been attempted or can be attempted save
through the accepted methods and the consti-
tuted authorities of the South.
"Under guarantees so definite and so explicit,
guarantees which have been illustrated and con-
frmed through the cooperation of the Bureau
of Education in every Southern State, the two
Boards of which I have been speaking have first
served the educational interests of our white peo-
pie. $500. The educationa and the development
of the unprivileged masses of our white people is.
we must believe, the supreme question of the
South. It is a question to which l shall give the
chief emphasis of this address. And yet we can
not forget that the negro presents a question
which silence has never dissipated and which indif-
ference cannot answer.
"There are certain things which the South
has once for all decided, which she has a right
to decide, and which I believe she has decided
wisely. First, therefore, in dealing with the ques-
ton of popular education, she has begun by plac-
ing her negro children in one school-house and
her white children in another. The races must
be educated apart. Rather than give countenance
to anything which might look directly or indi-
rectly toward the mutual assimilation or amalga-
nation of these races in the South, I would prefer
to see an utter end to both. Better a noble ex-
~tinction than an ignoble perpetuation.

twelve months. and that a smaller proportion

Hucing agriculture into the public schools of
South Carolina. Several years ago a textbook
was adopted, but it is not the kind of book the
teachers must have in order to make a success
of the study. With a book like agriculture for
Beginners" much better results would be at
tanned.
The State has no Department of Agriculture,
and the entire tax of twenty-one cents on each
y ton of fertilizers and cottonseed meal goes to the
support of Clemson College. This gives that in
stiution royal support, and the amount grows
with each succeeding year. Up to September
10th $102, $780, 20 had been received against $91,-
299.05 to anne date last year. The agricultural
department of the College has never been so well
attended as it deserved to be, but it is hoped that
with the improved equipment and the advancing
prices of farm products, this condition will be
remedied. The last Legislature showed it's inter
est in the matter by creating 40 free scholar
ships in agriculture.

 "Tradesmen are up to all sorts of tricks. The other day I went to the dairy to get some eggs. Would you believe it, the girl in charge tried to make me believe that the brown eggs were better than the real white ones? She came from farm, too, which is surprising thing"
 "Why, I always thought the brown eggs were the best" said the bride of a week. ''I am sur prised to learn that they are not"
 "No, indeed, they are not. Do you know how they get brown? We'll, it's from lying around the store so long. They just get stale and take on that brown look. Oh, they can't fool me!

HOW WILD BEASTS ATTACK
Nearly Every Species Has Its Own Peculiar Method of Seizing
 Its Prey.

Those who obtain their knowl- edge of how wild animals bounce upon their prey, be it a human being or fellow brute, from the picture books will have to revise their ideas if they are made true to life. Most of the conceptions are entirely wrong, according to the statement of a close student of such things.
 "In seizing their prey tigers and lions almost invariably go for the throat,o he says, "though in one or two instances that have come under n.y. notice of animals killed by tigers they have evi- dently first been hamstrung. These, probably were the victims of young and inexperienced ti. gers. I once saw a man charged and knocked over by panther and he only saved his throat by putting up his arm, which, as we'll as his shoulder, the animal grasped with teeth and claws.
 "Anyone who knows anything about elephants must be aware that the trunk, and particularly the tip of the trunk, is the most delicate and sensitive part SS the animal and that he shields it from injury by every possible means in his power. It is, there fore, very unlikely that he would expose it in the act of charging. My experience, limited though it be, points to the fact that an elephant, once he has made up his mind to charge, curls up his trunk tight.
 "Bisons and buffaloes when they charge invariably poke their noses in the air and com mence running at you with their heads we'll up, much in the man ner of domestic cattle, and only lower their horns when within d few yards of the object of their attentions. This I take to be a mere matter of common sense on the part of the animal, for if he puts his head down, say even 40 yards away, he could not pos sibly see where he was going.
 "Bears when wounded will often get on their hind legs and dance about from sheer rage and will also at times do so in order to get a better view of the where abouts of their enemy, but when they charge, whether it be at q man mounted or on foot, they in- variably charge on all fours.
 "In charging most animals give vent to certain vocal sounds -grunts or roars-and this, it is natural to suppose, is done with a view to terrifying and de moralizing the object they are attacking-in fact, more often than not it is mere bluff on the animals part. have often seen tigers roar when charging who never really mean mischief and who when met by a bold front turned off,"

/ Warship.
DONE IN THE NIGHT
Under Cover of Darkness q Small
50 Launch Steals Upon the Giant
Battleship and Cripples 1t.
The Russian Gushing Gets Away
Safely and Is Given a Great
deception.

Lao Yang, May 14.-(Delayed in
transmission - The Russian fleet
scored Its first distinct naval success
of the war on May 10 by the torpedo
Ing and Gripping, though not sinking,
of an armored Japanese cruiser IN
Talienwan bay. The Russian attack
was carefully planned on May 10 while
the Japanese squadron was concentrat-
ed outside Dalny, devoting its whole
attention to Talienwan bay, and was
carried out the same night.
The attacking force was not regu-
lar torpedo boat, but was only small
naphtha launch in command of young
naval officer who had with him three
tackles. The launch mounted a small
machine gun and carried three torpe-
does.
When darkness fell the launch crept
out of Port Arthur hugging the shore
with no lights aboard and no glow
from the engines to betray her pres
ence 1t was late when she gained the
outer line from the Japanese squad
ron. Slipping through the torpedo
boat pickets and selecting the nearest
warship, a big armored cruiser, she
stole toward her and succeeded in ex-
ploding against her side a single tor
pedo. A deafening roar followed the
explosion which echoed far ashore.
Immediately flames enveloped the
cruiser, which evidently was badly
crippled.
The crew of the cruiser was seen
to be fighting the fire, which they at
last succeeded in extinguishing. A
sister ship took the damaged vessel
in tow and disappeared to the south
east. The launch escaped the hot fire
directed against her by the japanese
ships, but being unable to return tc
Port Arthur or to get into Dalny, she
was beached not far from Dalny.
Only q few of the higher officers
were aware of the plan, the success OF
which depended upon secrecy. The
achievement raised the spirits of the
| Russians af1oat and ashore, and the
young naval officer who was the hero
of the exploit was feted and recon
mended for the cross of st. George.
The Russians on May II, apprehend
ing that the presence of a japanese
squadron meant an attempt TO capture
Dalny blew up the piers and quietly
evacuated the place.

the Falls Of Niagara.

+
Albany, N. Y, May 16-Governor
Odell has given out his memorandum
explaining his veto of bill enlarging
the scope and powers of the Niagara,
Lockport and Ontario Power company.
After giving practical reasons for the
veto of this bill, Governor Odell calls
attention to the widespread solicit'lta,
expressed in protests from all over the
Union as to threatened impatient to
the beauty of Niagara Falls.
However much we my G:-co"ct
and depreciate the interference of the
sentimental with the practical in life, !"
the governor says, I'VE cannot get
away from the fact that this sentiment
is not one of retrogression, but Of con-
slant progression in civilized life.
There is due to it, therefore, the same
consideration which should be given
to all practical affairs of life. This
seems to me to be second and fully
as important reason for objection to
approval of this measure.

falls rather than increase the menace

Express Hopeful Views.


ST. Petersburg, May ia state
ment by the admiralty covering events
at Port Arthur from May to May IL
was received by the emperor at Tsar-
koye Selo last night, shortly before his
departure for Moscow The situation
there is considered satisfactory, as the
dispatch shows the confidence and pre-
paredness of Rear Admiral Wittsoeft
up to the second cutting of communi-
cation with Port Arthur.
The fact that the Russians discover
ed another Japanese mine almost in
the exact spot where the battleship
Pobieda was injured Is taken as evil
dence Of the desperate thoroughness
with which the Japanese must have
carried out their mining operations on
April II.
