Cadet Life at West Point,

Briefly, at 3:45 p. III. the academic
work, is over for the day and drills for
all classes occupy the hour from to 8,
followed by dress parade at 5:25, ex-
cepting Wednesdays aud Saturdays.
This is the schedule from Sept. | to
Nov. / and from March Is to June.
On Saturdays academic work ends at
1890, and, with the exception of in
spection at | 30, the afternoon of the
cadet is free until G:25 supper call. His
amusements are much like those OF
college students generally. Football
is perhaps the most popular organized
sport. Games are played OH the West
Point grounds with teams from many
colleges. and the season closes with
the annual army-navy game. when the
West Pointers meet the midsmpmen
from Annapolis on Franklin field.
Philadelphia Basket ball follows dur
ing the winter months. many contests
with teams from other schools occur
ring during the season. and then in the
spring comes baseball of course.-Pop'

sticks or rungs. The log should be
about seven or eight inches in fiame

1t is better to have it of well sea-

the runners of the drag and are usual
~ spaced from thirty to thirty-six
inches apart The front runner Is al
ways placed with the split surface OF
the wood facing forward. but the rear
runner sometimes has its rounded face

The war situation is rather
complicated and uncertain, be-
cause of the offers of mediation
on the part of South American
Republics which has been ac-
cepted by the United States, at
the same time, the active pre-
parations for war continue and
hostilities has not abated. If
Huerta accepts the offices of the
the representatives of Brazil,
Argentina and Chile and stands
by his agreement then the war
IS practically at an end.

Before The News and Courier
undertakes to preach purity in
elections for the State it should
have the elections int own city
made pure. Charleston requires
a registration as a requisite to
vote in the primary, it also re-
quires the publication Of the
registered voters, yet, it is the
most politically corrupt city in
the State. 1t is not only corrupt
now but it has been so as long
as we can remember. They have
two elements in that city, the
bad and the worse.

there is splendid material to

that it is better to drop all
