The state school teachers will re ceive only half pay in July: For sev eral years they have been paid quar terly iu April, July, October and Jan miry. This year the school fund was increased to $1.(1000,001) and Lhe tax levy, was not proportionally increased, and tr,at will not he done until next fail. Consequently the treasury is kiting over the $-100,000 which is the difference between last year’s fund and the increased fund of this year. The full quarterly payment of $400,C00 was made in April but there will bo only about $200,000 on hand to pay the teachers in July. They will have to wait for the remainder of the second quarter’s pay until the tax money arrives in this fall. HALSTED IN CAMP.

In the war between the states there was no vessel that made a more bril i hunt record than the Confederate cruiser, “Alabama," of which our own ! Adjutant General iv-fi, of Georgia, ; was the executive officer Up to the day or her fatal ancounter with Kear sage she was a terror of the neas, and many a hard fought engagement made the reputation that survived her. It is gratifying to the people of the south that our reunited country has honored the state of Alabama by giving to its latest and greatest triumph in ship building a name already iamous on the sea. “From all accoiuts,” says the Montgomery Advertiser, “the battle ship Alabama is to be one of the best in the navy. She is larger than any American vessel now m commission, and is to be more heavily' armored. She will have of the largest guns and a particularly powerful secondary battery of rapid fire guns. The inter mediate batteery of S inch guns will be dispensed with, lessining hei weight above the water line and in creasing her stability without mater ially impairing her fighting power.” Not only is there evidence of our reunited country in the bestowal of 'his name, but w; find the New York Tribune saying of the new ship: ‘On the whole, it seems safe to reckon the Alabama will, an all-round fighting ship, outrank all her prede cessors in the American. There are bigger ships in the British navy, and some that make a little faster tune than she is required to do, and carry more coal. But they are not nearly so strongly armored, and there is rea son to think that the Alabama might be a match fur one of them In the other navies of the world there no ships that cau for a moment be deemed her superiors, Hail to the Alabama! She was launched m silence, but she will make enough noise her self to atone for that. Success to her in all her voyages!”—Athens Banner. “There’s no use in talking,” says W. II Broanwell, druggist, La Cygne, Kas, “Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy docs the. work. After taking medicines of my own preparation and those of others I look a dose of Chamberlain’s and it helped me; a second dose cured me.

Historic Battle Ground. The West Indies, where most of the military operations of flic present war between Spain ar.d the United Stales will occur, have been the scene of much of the warfare between Great Britain Franco and Spain. In the ton tests which these powers waged with each other during tho eighteenth cen pirv much of their strength was ex pended in struggles for the possession of these islands. Many of the smaller ones passed from the ownership of one to another and back again successively, in 1760 Havana;: was captured by the British, but was given lack to Spain on the conclusion of peace. Some score ot years later Count do Grasse, who a little earlier ! ad helped to make the capture of.Lord Cornwallis at Yoik town a possibility, was signally de feated by Lord Rodney in a great sea fight off Martinique. His splendid flagship, the Vide de Baris, was cap tured and he himself made prisoner- We trust that Admiral Sampson mav odd to to the historic interest of these narrow sens bv making them the scene of ihe destruction of the Spanish Armada.—Augusta Chron icle. 500 NEGRO TROOPS. Adjutant General Corb'u told Jud son Lyons yesterday that the depart ment would take up the question of raising immuncs among the colored people. Lyons asked tbit Georgia be given on” regiment, but the adjutant gener al said that the state would certainly not bo given over 5,00. Secretary Alger is being pressed to give the command of the colored troops to colored men, but the secre tary has decided that the colored im— rnunes must be officered by regular officers. The minor offices will be given to colored men. The Nicaragua Canal. The opening of the Nicaraguan canal will do more to keep the United States ot peace with the world than any event or combination of events that we can imagine, because it will be a war preparation of the most sub stantial kind. It will almost double the strength of <. tir navy because it will enable us to transfer our warships from the Pacific to the Atlantic coast in less than one third of the time now required. The Oregon in making its trip from California to Florida has covered the distance of 13,000 miles. If tne canal were open the distance between the two points would he 4,000, a shortening of the route of 0,000. The advantage which this would give the United States is so apparent as to need no comment. IV e believe that the end of the war with Spain will revive interest m the Nicaraguan canal and that few if any congressmen will be found to oppose it. In case of war as we have before said, it will make the United States invincible, and in peace it will enlarge our com rnercial interests so that we shall sup ply the earth from the abundance of our fields and the output of our mills. —Enquirer Sun.

The Hays of Soldier Boys Full of Haul Work. in these times of war and army excitement, the routine of tl' daily life in camp at Tampa will interest many. Every move during the day, which is an official camp regulation, is made on the sounding of the bugle. Following is the program of .1 day: At 5: 10 a. m. the bugler sounds the first reveille call, and the soldier rolls over in jiis <Jot for a little cat nap of 10‘gimutes, 4 Then ne must get up, for the bugler has said so in a short, rasping miup of sharps and fiats from one of the scale to the other- Ten minutes after this riio soldier must be in line, when the assembly is tooted. Assembly over, the soldiers wash up, and at 6 o’clock the toot of the bugler calls him to breakfast lie can tales an hour for this tneai, but at 7 o’clock all men who are to do fatigueing duty about the curnpfor the day must be ready. The others for an hour aim a half go through the extended order of skirmish drill. At 9 o’clock the officers‘meet and at tended school until 10 o’clock. The men on duty ai fatigue are re called at 11 and can rest til! 1, and the soldiers after army drill also rest un - til after dinner. At 11:80 the First Sergeant’s call is sounded, and they report to the Adjutants the condition of the company. When 12 o’clock is announced (Washington time) the bugler belches out a hungry note or two and the onslaught is made on the dinner. A practice march is taken up at 1 o’clock m the afternoon. At firs-; these inarches were very short, but now they are growing and two hou’s are being consumed in them each day. The men on fatigue duty go back to work at 1 p. m. and some as lunatic bugle calls him lor duty at 4:30. 1 ids is followed by the call lor guard mount at 4:30. Ten minutes are consumed in rids and then the Adjutant’s call is sound ed. and th n officials report occurren cos ot the day and other important matters to the proper officers. Supper follows between s:ou and 6 o’clock. From that time on the soldier enjoys himself as best he can. At 9 o’ deck the tattoo is sounded. F’orty five minutes later the call to qnaters comes and every in camp must be in lent. When the dials of the trumpter’s watch tells him it is 10 o’clock he says good night to all in a beautiful melody called tap.” Lights are put out and all the mov ing life in camp is made up of tho sen tries on duty. BLOW TO NOMINEE BRYAN, Raised a Nilitarj Company at His Home. The election of company officers of the new militiry company recruited by William J- Bryan, was held last night. Mr, Bryan s friends had made a canvass in his benalf for the captaincy and he was placed in nomination, hut withdrew when it was seen that others desired the place. 11. G. Whitmore was elected. Members ot the company say Mr. Bryan could have been elected, but anything short of a unanimous vote would have been distasteful to him. The election was behind closed doors and occasioned very keen interest. Cotton, like every other croo, needs nourishment.

The Cuban annexation snade is be ginning to raise its head, “ibis is our wa", not Cuba’s,” says the China go Inter Ocean; “we are to lake all of tho risks, bear :11 of the burdens ; nd do all of the lighting. If wo do this we must reap the benefits. Asa re sult of the war, Cuba must oc me un der American control, and under conditions that will make our control lastiug. Whatever the local form of government may be, the island must be ours.” There is a coitain attract iveness about tlia style or argument which will probably gain many ad herents. There are persons who will insist that wo ought to have H->me liiing tangible to show for our .- ..ori fices and expenditures. They will not i e apt to take into consideration tho assurance the country has given that it does not mean to annex Cuba as an outcome of the war; nor will they give a great deal of thought to the radical departure'in our govern mental policy that would be involved iu bringing Cuba under American domination. The Chicago Inter Ocean is a republican paper. The re- j publican administration bar pledged its word to the world that to seize Cuba is no part of its policy. Does 'he Inter Ocean hope to induce the administration to stultify itself? —Sa- vannah News, Maj. Gen. Lee. at Tampa* Mnj >r General Filzhugli Lee, ac companied by Cos!.
