Colossal Statue of Christ Made from Melted
Cannon.

In 1900 Argentina and Chill,
sisterrepublics, were on the brink
of war, It was the revival of an
old dispute about boundary lines.
On Easter hunday Bishop Bena-
vente of Argentina made a thrill
ing appeal for s4atue Of Christ
to guard the frontier, where it
could be seen by all travellers be-
tween the two countries. The
two angry nations calmed them
selves King Edward of England
was asked to be arbitrator, and
both countries quietly acquiesced
in his decision.
Then both began to disarm.
Chill has turned an arsenal into
a school of trades. By reducing
her army and navy expenses she
is saving millions Of dollars and
is spending them in making good
roads through the land and in
building a much needed break
water in the harbor Of Valpa-
raiso.
To signalize and perpetuate
this victory of peace the good
Bishops suggestion, seconded
now by the mothers of Argen-
tina, was followed. A colossal
statue of Christ, made Of bronze
from melted cannon. was dedl-
Gated March IS, 1904, on the

If Superintendent of Education
20. B, Martin wants to be of real
benefit to South Carolina we sug-
gest that he drop his enmity
against the Citadel Academy, the
most useful educational institu-
ton of the South. forget his uni
versity fad, and devote himself
to- the development of county
high schools. That is what the
State needs more than anything
else-county high schools. AS
things go now, boys are sent to
Clemson and the South Carolina
College before they are half
through with their common coun-
ty or graded schools, and con-
tinue their preparatory courses
at those higher institutions
higher in name-under the idea
that they are really going to col
lege, when as a matter Of fact
they would be doing much better
in some high grade academy. We
have seen it stated that one-third
of the pupils at Clemson are in
the preparatory department, and
that really means that they had
better be at a good high school
if they had one available. It is
the same way to a large extent
with the South Carolina College.
Both Of these institutions are do
ing too much preparatory work
work that could be done better
and more satisfactorily elsewhere
if our educational system were
developed along proper lines. 1t
is difficult to imagine anything
that we need less than univer-
sity Just now. We can much bet
ter afford to let our students who
require post graduate courses go
to other institutions already es-
tablished and doing the right
kind OF work. We can get along
for twenty years yet!wlthout feel,
ing the need of a university, and
we VIII not feel such a need very
strongly even then unless IN the
meantime we do much more than
we have ever done in developing
a first class system Of county
high schools, The county high
schools developed to a proper
degree Of efficiency will after a
while make the university ne
cessity.-Yorkville Enquirer.

and Chilians break the peace
which, at the feet of Christ the
Redeemer, they have sworn to
maintain.
The statue has been standing
there something over a year.
Within that year Brazil and Bo-
Iivia have settled an old dispute,
the former paying to the latter
anindemnity of SO, 900, 900, while
Chill and Bolivia have made a
treaty Of peace and friendship
which pledges Chill to help her
late foe to build railroads and de-
velop her hidden resources. Inc
feet of the Christ are moving
upon the mountains!
Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace and good will.

For the first time in modern

For the first time in modern
history a State has named house,
breaking in it's code as a capital
ofense. Mississippi has adopted
the following law, which now
stands as a statute: g Every per-
son who shall be convicted OF
breaking and entering, day or
night, the dwelling of another in
which there shall be at the time
some human being, with intent
TO commit some crime therein,
shall suffer death, unless the jury
shall fix the punishment at I'M
prisonment for life, as in case of
murder" A number Of burgla-
ries that were accompanied by
shooting of householders by des-
perate men led to this law. The
intruders were usually negroes.

AS to whether Robert Keith

AS to whether Robert Keith
Dargan really committed suicide
we do not know. It is probable
that he did. But there is no
doubt about the fact that Robert
Keith Dargan was a smooth cltl-
zen, and there is something un-
explainable about the part his
brother is alleged to have played
by getting the poison for him
and standing by while he drank
it. The situation seems to fur
nish ample justification for the
exhuming Of the body, and we DO
not see how anybody is to be
hurt on account of such a pro-
ceeding.-Yorkville Enquirer
