THE WAR. The news as to the whereabouts of Rojestvensky's squadron is yet vague and rather uncertain, and nc Cr\f T/vrr/v lin nMnrlif 10 n.-. .w. III 1>V.H ut at the bottom of the sea so far as locating him is concerned. There arc not even any* rumojs as to his position. The Russian admiralty profess now to believe that the Japanese cannot prevent the juncture of Ncbogatoff and Rojestvensky, and consequently the officials in St. Petersburg arc hopeful of a favorable outcome in the contest for the mastery of the sea. The Russian vessels, according to the home officials, arc destined for Vladivostok, where, in connection with the ships there, Rojcstvensky is supposed to be able to beat Togo off, take command of the sea and leave the Japanese army in Manchuria because of lack of provisions. Should all this be carried out, of course the war would likely take a turn against Japan, for some time to come, at least. However, the destruction of Togo's fleet is something yet to be accomplished, and apparently Rojestvensky is desirous of anything else than a clash with the Japanese. Four Russian torpedo boats ventured out of Vladivostok Friday and destroyed a small Japanese sailing boat. Tec boats then returned toward Vladivostok. The object of the raid is unexnlained A dispatch from Manchuria says that Field Marshal Oyama is apparently getting his troops in position for another general engagement. This seems to indicate that the field marshal is led to believe that the clash between the fleets is imminent and that he will follow it up with an important land engagement.--Charlotte Observer.

Sp-mgr. rWng Urged to Run for Governor. | Lancaster cor. The News and Courier: Apropos of the discus-don by the pr<?89 of the rolativo merita of tho prospective candidates for Governor next year, it is a fact worthy of uote that Lancaster has a man prei eminently fitted to fill the oflice, and there is probably little doubt about his election should he enter the race, but his friends and admirers have thus far failed to prevail upon him to allow the use of his name in that connection Col. Leroy Springs is the gentlemau referred to. There is a growing demand for a "business man" to occupy the Gubernatorial chair, and it is doubtless largely duo to Col. Springs's prominence in the industrial and financi"! world that he is being so strougly urged to stand for Governor. In addition to a number of personal appeals, Col. Springs has received numerous letters from leading citizens in different parts of the State, urging him to make 'lie race. But while tho Colonel is thoroughly x i ) r - 11 jmiiiwui; ?uu iuny appreciates the high compliments being pai<i him, he roalizos that his entrance into politics would seriously interfere with his large business interests. Col. Springs is probably entitled to the distinction of being the busiest man in South Carolina. As the head of half a dozen cotton mills, president of batiks, railroad president, president of several large mercantile companies, the head of one of the largest cottou firms in tho United States aud withal the largest farmer in South Carolina ? running aver 150 ploughs? the Colouel has but little idle time on liia hands. But his capacity for business is simply j marvelous. He is a rapid, tire-1 less worker, forms his conclu-l sions quickly and acts always without hesitation. His judg- ' rcent is unerring and he has never been known to fail in any 1 of his multitudinous undertak- 1 ings. His wonderful faculty for 1 details has often been remarked 1 upon by bis business associates. ' Col. Springs has his own ideas 1 as to how the affairs of the State 1 should be managed, and were 1 he Governor it goes without say- 1 ing that he would give South Carolina a phenomenally sue cessful business administration. < Orders to the Veterans i I Gen Stephen D Lee Makes Announcements Concerinng Reunion. 1 The following orders have been > issued: * Hdqrs.

Omaha, Neb., May 6.?Pal Crowe, the alleged kidnapper ol Eddie Cudahy in 1900, walked into a newspaper office early this morning and said >he wished to surrender himself. Crowe was asked abouc the kidnapping ol the millionaire's Hon, but refused cither to deny or admit that lie took any part in the affair.

The reward was withdrawn, but up to now he did not carry out his promise. Gardner Fill? Liquor Grave. Charlotte, N. (J., May 5. ?

Those people who think il smart to make sport of the farmer as ai? individual must not forget : that he is the backbone of the [ country. We couid not get along f without him. While the agricul: tural class composes one-half ol ' the total population, the record shows that only two per cent ol the crime is committed by the man who makes his daily bread by the sweat of his brow in the field.
