Of course a great many sensational reports wlil be started and a great many untruths will be told during the war now on, but it will be the duty of all good and patriotic citizens to stand up to our Hers no matter how flagrant ly they may depart from the canons of truth. "Must WE but weep o'er days more blest? Must WE out blush?-our fathers bled. Earth! render back from out thy breast A remnant of our Spartan dead ! Of the three hundred grant but three.

There were not many of the unterri fled in the county democratic conven tion that met in toe oourt house on Monday of this week, but enough of respectability and calibre to make up for the paucity in numbers. M. P. Wells, Esq., was elected tem porary chairman and performed the ! duties of presiding officer of the con- ! vention with much credit to himself and to the entire satisfaction of the convention. Tillman R. Denny was elected county chairman ; P. N. Lott, 1st vice chairman; H. C. Watson, 2nd vice president; S. M. Smith, secretary and treasurer. In accordance with the sentiment of the delegates, and the county at large as well, Col. J. H. Tillman introduced the following resolutions, which we might denominate "resolutions of fra ternization"; inasmuch as they are eminently brotherly in their scope and intent and mean a putting away of factional strife and bickering, we hope for all time to come. COL. TILLMAN'S RESOLUTIONS. Whereas, it is the desire of this con vention that all factionalism be buried; and, having an earnest desire to reunite the democracy of the coun ty, therefore, be it resolved ^st. That those factions heretofore existing, known as reformers and con servatives be each allowed four ?vle gatee to the State democratic Conven tion.. 2nd. That the county chairmanship be given to a conservative and the pfllpe of State executive cpinmitteeman to a reformer. '?rd. That a committee of three from [each faction be appointed by the chair to suggest to the convention the names of delegates to be elected to tbe State democratic convention, the chairman of this con ven vention tobe also a mem ber of the State democratic committee. The committee selected the follow ing delegates to represent Edgelield democracy in the State convention : M. P. Wells, L. J. Williams, J. C. Sheppard, A. E Padgett, U. C. Fuller, W.P. rimmerman, John Briggs, J. H. Tillman. These gentlemen were unanimously elected; L. J. 'Williams was elected State ex ecutive committeeman, and T. R. Denny chairman county executive committee. HOW LONG WILL IT LAST? - "How long will .the war with Spain last" is a questiou often asked and almost as often answer ed ; nod yet no one knows or can know. The latest answer is from Judge Tom Mackey, formerly of this State. Here are his predic ations: 'I thiuk that our war with Spain will ,extend over a period of three or lour years, and possibly much longer. To achieve final victory we will be forced to laud an army on Spanish soil, aud that will bring on the greatest battle in the annal? of history. A quarter of a million of men will be engaged on either side. The taking of Cuba and Porto Rico instead of mark ing the termination of the struggle, will only be its iuceptiou, and the enemy is wise enough to haye discounted the loss of this terri tory. Spain has a population of 19,000,000, aud is a warlike race. Uuless we administer a crushing blow on their own soil they will not stop fighting for the next thirty years." Bah ! To Arms Ye Brave! Who Knsh to Glory. At a meeting of the Edgefield Rifles on Monday night, May 2nd, the following preamble and resolution was adopted, with only one dissenting vote. Whereas, the Governor of this State has issued a proclamtion calling on the state militia to volunteer thoir services in the present war between this country and Spain, and, where as this a part of the regular organized militia of the State and as such, the Edgefield Rifles feel it to be their patriotic duty to recruit their ranks up to the required number eo that they may tender their services through the Governor of this State to the United States for whatever service in whatever field the government aiay see fit to assign them : Resolved therefore, that the Captain of the Edgefield Rifles be authorized and hereby is authoriz ed to open a recruiting office and to aooept reoruils, who ore willing to volunteer for servica uutil the total membership reaches the number required by the army re gulations to constitute a- company and thus entitle this company to be accepted into the service of the United States, with its present organization ; Resolved further that the Cap tain appoint a committee of three members to prep?re a notice to bu published in all the county papers at their next issue, setting forth the desire of this company to se cure recruits under the above mon tionpd conditions. To tho Citizens of Edgefield County : We the undersigned the com mitee appointed iu accordance with the foregoing resolution, hope that a sufficient number of the citizens of Edgefield County will respond to this call, so that Edge field may be represented iu the volunteer army of the United States. We all take priJe in being sons of old Edgefield, because she. has made a record in the past that is au honor to her country ; her citizens have always been loyal in peace and brave in battle, and in every war that we have ever had, in every emeigency when necessary, she has cous> crated the blood of her sons to her country's cause, and we hope that she will now contribute her share to the further honor and glory of our country, and maintain her proud prestige of the past.

THERE are schools and schools, but there are some reasons why you should patronize the Johnston Institute: 1st.-Johnston is a healthful location, on the famous "Ridge," which com prises portions of Aiken, Edgelield, Lexington and Saluda Counties. It is absolutely free from malaria. The same diurnal range of temperature as Santa Barbara, Cal. 2nd.-Johnston is a moral community with few allurements to vice. No bar rooms or vicious company to degrade the students. ?rd.-The Superintendents conduct two boarding halls-Pickens Hall for young men and Rebecca Motte Hall for young: ladies. In these Halls the students are under restrictions and give their undivided time to their studies. 4th.-The Institute is conducted on a Mi litary basis. Boys are permitted, but not required, to wear uniforms. This uniform is cheap, handsome and durable. Students are taught to obey, as one can never rule well until he first learns to obey well. 5th.-Our course of study is thorough, practical and progressive. We flt stu dents for life, as College Diplomas are issued to those who deserve them, 6th.-We have Special Departments offering superior instructions in Book keeping, Painting and Music. Call and see the character of work done. Our rooms are open to inspection. 7tb.-We have a big school. There is somethingJstiCiUlatingand in spiling about large schools, because children learn not only from books but by ab sorption. Sth.-We have eleven teachers, S. M. Martin, John Lake, A. J. Reamy, C. C. Herbert, Misa A. S. Arnold, Miss Sophie Swearingen, Mrs. L. C.Latimer, Miss Sue Sloan, Mrs. S. S. Cobb, Mrs. J. H. White, Mrs. A. J. Reamy. We will add more if necessary. 9th.-Our School is under Christian influence, but strictly unsectarian. No narrow denominational lines are drawn. 10th.-We are giving the best possible education at the least possible cost. The Institute is the school for the people. Board and tuition from $10 to $19 per month, according to grade. Provisions taken in payment of board. Students received at any time. For further information address JOHN LAKE, ?.
