clude we are in debt slightly.
Germany having declared a
war zone around the coasts Of
the allies in which she proposes
to attack merchant vessels in
discriminatory, the Washington
authorities have been much con-
cerned about possible trouble
during the last few days. One
American vessel loaded with
cotton has been sunk in the
North sea. An investigation as
to the cause has been ordered,
and it is hoped that no further
complications will arise.
If Germany is foolish enough
to fire upon American merchant
vessels she will have to bear the
consequences. Our government
is bound to protect our people
upon the seas. This war zone
applies to any and all neutral
vessels and if Germany persists
aud carries out her threat to
destroy neutral vessels found in
this zone, she will soon have the
whole world against her.
There is about one chance in
ten that there will be trouble of
a serious nature between the
United States and Germany. But
if the worst comes ii will be 4
naval war so far as the United
States is concerned and The
people at home will not be in
terfered with to a very great
extent. There are many rea-
sons, however, to hope that the
United States will not be drawn
INTO tne tray: eHs pe1q-sIno
In the appropriation bill
passed by the legislature we
notice the following: Univer-
sity of South Carolina $lO4,I51.-
90, Winthrop college $lo6,2i9.-
32, making $26O.406.32 that the
people must pay for the support
of two educational Institutions
of learning. In another place
we find 1896, 10000 for Public
schools-only $26,O99.6S more
for all the public schools of the
state than for the two colleges
mentioned above.
Now, what about that? Is it
right for us to pay nearly as
much to two schools as to all
the public schools of the state?
Think what a small per cent of
the young people ever see inside
the walls of a college.
These colleges are worthy
institutions and the state does
we'll to aid them, but the amounts
appropriated for them are out of
all proportion to the amount
given to the great masses of the
people. The public schools are
most important of all, for there
the real training is given to the
people. So long as the money
is proportioned as at present we
can't hope to move away from
the bottom of the list of states in
education. If we are to have an
) educated and intelligent citizen
ship, we must have more and
better public schools. If the
State can pay to Winthrop and
the University something more
than two hundred and sixty
thousand dollars year it can
pay five hundred thousand for
the education of the boys and
girls of the people in the public
schools,

Mystery Surrounds Woman's
Death; Was She Murdered?

Mattoon, Ill.,, Jan. 11.-Mystery still
surrounds the death of Mrs. H. K.
Ronalds, wife of prominent physi.
clan of NATION, following a New
Years eve celebration in the Ronalds
bungalow in this city.
Local authorities are now convinc.
ed however, that the woman did not
meet her death by suicide, and ar.
rests are expected soon.
On of the persons now being detain.
cd at the Charleston Jail is Mrs. C. o.
Purcell. She and her husband were
guests of the Ronalds on the night of
the tragedy.

told," said States Attorney Hammond
in fact, | am convinced that what
she told the coroner's jury and what
she told me on Tuesday afternoon is
not the truth. Whether we can get
the truth from her remains to be seen.
Mrs. Purcell, by reason OF the fact
that she was one of the persons pres
ent all during the orgy at the Ronalds
hCme on the night Mrs. Ronalds met
her death, is a very important witness,
and that is the reason she is being de-

Repetition Of Pledges.
The preamble, which would declare
the intention of the United States to
ultimately grant compete indepen.

pledges already made over and over
again.
"What the next step should be-" he
said, "when it should be taken, what
conditions would properly surround
the grant of absolute independence,
and other like speculations, it seems
to me are idle and their consideration
at this time would only be confusing -

Lacks Issue in Others.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 11.-Eng-
lands preliminary reply to the Ameri-
can note of protest concerning neutral
commerce, while gratifying in the con
cessions it makes has in many re-.
spects failed to satisfy the American
government. Officials are confident
the second complete answer will give
specific information as requested clear
ing up uncertainties which surround
the neutral commerce. Secretary
Bryan says no comment will be forth
coming from America until the COM
ing of a second note. There is gen.
eral disappointment in many quarters.
for while the note conceded that the
principles of the United States are
correct, the statistics it cited, were
regarded as an adroit effort to evade
the issue.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 1.-THE

tary of War Garrison as the logical

last witness of public hearings on the
pending bill, prepared a statement
tracing the American policy toward
the Philippines since the Spanish war.
explaining the present bill, the i'm

would provide merely a further test
of the Philippines capacity for self
government. Garrison said the is
