Special to the Intelligencer. COLUMBIA, S. C., April 19, 3.30p. ?.-Bulletin says the President will sign the resolutions passed by Con gress without delay notifying Spain to evacuate Cuba within 24 or 48 hours. The Cabinet is in session consider ing what action to take under the reso lutions. The London papers think Spain will strike the first blow. The United States troops are every where on the move to thc Gulf coast. The Viscaya and other Spanish ves sels have arrived at Cape De Verde Islands. The Spanish press urges the gov ernment to abandon all hope of peace and prepare to defend Cuba. The American fleet is expected to Move on Havana before the end of the week. AUGUST. KonN. COLUMBIA, S. C., April 19, G.30 p. m.-The ultimatum to Spain will (probably be brief and contain copy of the joint resolution} adopted by Con gress, with polite invitation to re spond by evacuation of Cuba by Spain immediately. The Cabinet has adjourned until 3.30 p. m., when the President is ex pected'to sign the resolutions. The speech from the Spanish throne to-morrow will be couched in terms to move the Chambers and the people to a highly patriotic demonstration. This speech will declare that Spain has no intention of yielding through pressure, and will call attention to the aggressiveness of the people of the United States. Spain is firmly resolved to do any thing rather than submit to the de mands of the United States. The London afternoon newspapers say the President s signing thc reso lutions precludes the possibility of j>eace. Germany, Italy , and Austria are working for peace. England is hands off. ? AUGUST KOHX. COLUMBIA, S. C., April 19, S.M p. m.-The President did not sign the resolutions to-day. It is said he may do so to-morrow. The War Department is arranging to call for 200,000 troops, and to run telegraph wires to headquarters. The Navy has been ordered to purchase seven more yachts. AUGUST KOHN. The are over a million applications on file in Washington for enlistment in the war department now, and the half is not yet told. The amount of money per capita in circulation at the present time is $23.69 according to the figures of the Treasury Department. The Spartanburg lieraitI of last Sunday contained fourteen pages, il lustrated, giving an interesting pre sentation of the resources and devel opment of that progressive city. The Cubans who want to be inde pendent have a regularly organized government which suits them. There seems to bc no reason why it should not be acceptable to thc United States government. M. Bm We don't object to war, provided, those who have been ranting for re venge will do the lighting with the understanding that there will bc no pensioning of the patriotic (?) citi zens after it is all over. mm . m.-? Superintendent of Education May field is making arrangements for the holding of county institutes through out the State. These events are growing in popularity, and are bene ficial to the teachers. It looks very much like war now. Congress has passed resolutions recog nizing thc independence of Cuba, and the President is expected to sign these resolutions to-day. Elsewhere we publish thc latest telegrams we could get before goiug to press. The State D?mocratie Executive Committee, by a unanimous vote, has interpreted - thc constitution of thc party so as to permit thc votes of thc nominees of the Prohibitionists, or any other faction of the Democracy, to be counted in the Democratic pri mary election. The Prohibition Convention which met in Columbia la.U week was com- j posed of representative men from ! every section of the State, and throughout thc Convention was har monious. Thc ticket nominate'' ]< composed of able and conscientious men. who will do their duty in thc ? campaign, which promises t<> bc a lively one. It is hard to predict what thc final result will be in the Democratic primary election, but, in our humble judgment, thc Prohibi tionists start off with linc prospects ? for success. If Spain's only hope of raising a war fund rests on the voluntary con tribution of a day's wages Uncle Sam needn't have much fear of a protracted struggle. The average wages of Span iards at home is about 25 cents a day. There are less than five million wage earners all told in the peninsula king dom. Here is an arithmetical prob lem any American schoolboy can solve. According to thc last census there arc no fewer than 3,454,675 farm la borers or "hired men" on thc farms of the Uuitcd States, or more than one fifth of the total voting population. Thc average earnings of this tremen dous agricultural army arc, inde pendently of board, ?105 a year, and a grand total of $362,740,665 paid out annually for farm labor of thc most primitive kind. On May 20 a monument to thc sign ers of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence is to be dedicated, with appropriate ceremonies, at Charlotte, N. C. The Mecklenburg Declaration was drawn up and signed twelve months before the National Declara tion of Independence at Philadelphia. In the revolutionary days Mecklen burg was called by the British ;'the rebel hornet's nest.'" The Augusta Chronicle is correct when it says if our warlike Congress men would only step outside and fight it out quietly, without making specta cles of themselves they would reflect more credit upon their couutry as well as their judgment. Calling men liars, throwing books and scuffling on the floor ofjCongress like a lot of baseball players may make the galleries ap plaud, but they make the judicious grieve. A corn convention held in Chicago recently developed several schemes for extending the usc of thc great American grain, lt was resolved, re ports the Atlanta ./oumul, to make elaborate exhibits of corn and the many forms in which it is prepared for food uses at the Omaha exposition, the Buffalo exposition and thc Paris exposition of 1900. Thc present high price of wheat has done much to im prove the prospects of corn as a food product. Already a large proportion of the flour used in this country is made largely of corn. This flour is cheaper than pure wheat flour and is said to be cijuite as nutritious. More corn is being consumed as food in this country than ever before aud the quantity will ; increase. Our corn is also becoming more popular in Europe. The prejudice against it among the masses of Europe is be*ing destroyed. They are learning by actual experience that corn is good as well as cheap: that it may be"prepared in many pal atable forms, and that it has excellent qualities as a food substance. This is the main reason why our exports of corn have increased so rapidly. Saddler's Creek Items. News is scarce as hen's teeth. The health of this community is very good at present.

No period of our country's history is moro thrilling than that of the hushed calm when tue whole land trembled under the bau of human slavery, await ing the bursting of tho storm that raged in a fury of bloud and tears until it swept away forever the degrading "institution" which contained in itself "the sum of all villainies.'" Since the war a generation has grown up whoso ears ilia not hear the grim thunder ol the cannon "at the front," wheu brave brothers battled over tho dark inheritance of negro slavery-handed down by their forefathers and sanctioned by the laws of tho land. Tho lapse of thirty-two yearn since tho Confederate banners were folded up for ever at Appomattox has brought the thoughtful student a/id grave historian to fields of inquiry once limited to the politician and uiveu over to tho dreadful arbitrament ofthe sword. It is left, in part, for the historical novel and romauceto depict the social condi tions under which the South drifted into a war which has made the Confederate, equally with the Union soldier, a hero. Harriet Beecher Stowe's immortal novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," dealt with the Gulf States, the transplanted slaves, and Southwestern conditions. Judge Albion W. Tourgee truthfully depicted the perplexing aftermath of slavery. But there yet remain unreaped many fields fruitful of romance in connection with this theme. touth Carolina, proud, aristocratic, reckless, gallant, hospitable, first to ad vance aud last to retreat, furnishes to the novelist many intensely dramatic and thrilling episodes characteristic of the haughty plauter-life at the outbreak of the war. "Under the Ban'- accurately depicts the social state brought about by the long continuance of hurtful conditions. True to facts, rich in local color, sincere aud searching, this brilliant novel proves the inexorable fulfillment ot the awful de cree: 4T will visit the sins of the lathers upon the children." It covers the subject of patrimonial, not imported, slavery. The high-hearted society common to Virginia and the Carolinas is painted with a loyal sym pathy for the innocent who suffered for the temporizing policy of the founders of the Union,-for those who were born heirs to an increasing cause of discord carefully nutured under the highest legal sanctions. The author is not an alien emotional theorist writing ol slavery as it vas supposed to have been, but one "born in the purple" portraying it as it was. Teresa Hammond Strickland, whose fascinating pen tells tho story of Camden town, was born at Andereon, South Caro lina, at the foot of the Blue Ridge. Her father, Judge Jacob Piiackney R?ed. of South Carolina, and her maternal grand father. Judge William Hammond, of Georgia, were leading public men. Judge R9ed long maintained a stately hospital ity at his beautiful country sear, "Echo Hall." His daughter, an unusually gifted poetess, gathered this thrilling story of slavery days from the reminiscences of the "old man eloquent," as his confreres styled this eminent jurist In "Under the Ban" there is tho throb of tho heart, the pulse of pride, and the cry ofthe wounded coming ont of the conditions under which human souls were transferred by title-deed, and help less manhood and womanhood were sold for the thirty pieces of silver."

From the general talk there is no anxious seekers for war in this commu nity. Our Postmaster say s that the people are so eager for political and war papers that he can't get any thins; to read but the Southern Presbyterian, the Christian Advocate and the Baptist Courier. There is not such demand for them. We are glad to see our townsman, Mr. M. M. Hunter, able to walk in town again after being confined to his house a considerable time. We trust he will soon be all O.
