THE LOGIC OF THE SITUATION.
The New York World of the 27th
published an ambassador'* view of the
Maine disaster from the standpoint of
a diplomat. His .name is not given,

Britain. The next day the World
made the followingcomment:
The study of the Spanish crisis from
the standpoint of the Maine disaster
which appeared in The World yesterday
was no less remarkable for its contents
than for the fact that the Ambassador
at Washington of one of the
greatest powers of Continental Europe
had carefully dictated and revised it
for The WorldIt
represented real diplomacy and
real government.
The Ambassador first discussed what
we ought to have done as soon as the
Maine wa* biown up:
If one of my country's warships had
met herfrte in a European harbor in
sitniiar circumstances my Government
would have pursued an entirely different
course. The commander of the
nnrr wrrtnlr? he?n ream red tO
show clean hands. Every engine of
destruction that was under his supervision
would have to be accounted for.
He then di3euss:d what Spain ought
to hare done:
If a warship were so destroyed in
one o? our ports the master of ths port
would be disgraced. The perpetrator
of the crime would be executed, and
my Government, great and powerfal
as it is, would have assured the afflicted
nation not only of its sorrow
but would have courageously humbled
itself for the fault of its recreant subject.
This apology would be just as
^ ample as that made by a pure and np./"^cight
gentleman for the dishonorable
conduct of one of his disloyal sons or
servants.
He next showed what Spain has
actually done:
Capt. Sigsbee sad his ship were attacked,
whether that attack came from
Snaic or a mere malefactor. Admit
ting the latter alteruative, Spain has
stood mute, s.nd like a wolf takes the
consequences of the villainy of her cub.
Finally, from the standpoint of real
diplomacy real government he
pointed out what we. must, what we
will do in the circumstances:
It is now too late to make reparation.
And I have advised my Government
that war between the United States
and Spain is inevitable.
-From beginning to end this document
of the eminent Ambassador and
diplomatist was faultless in its logic,
t swept from point to point with
clearness and irresistible power to the
clear and irresistible conclusion.
This Ambassador has expressed the
public opinion of the whole civilized
world, including the American people,
every man and every woman of them
who loves the flag and makes the
national self-respect an inseparable
part of his own self-respect.
' The wolf" has deliberated chosen
to take "the consequences of the villainy
of her cab!"
This puts the case in its very strongest
ligbt, and we have seen nothing, in
the present crisis, to equal it.
PREPARE TOR THE WORSE.
The general .opinion is that the war
with Spain will last .only a few week#
or at the most only a month or two.
This is what was thought at the opening
of the civil war. "We ought not to
deceive ourselves, and be prepared to
meet whatever may co?e. The war
may be over in a few weeks, then
again it may last much longer. We
have just ;read an article written by
Gen. Howard, of U. S. A., written
last year, and be does not make such
a showing as will warrant us to count
on a complete Tictory in a few weeks.
Spain is a long distance from us, and
t hei nary and army will be about 4,000
miles from the base of supplies, and it
i3 hardly possible that she will attempt
lo invade this country?but if Spain
should?what? In the course of time,
Spain would'jbe completely whipped,
but in the opinion of some ?ery high
military cfllcers the victories would
be on the Spanish side at first. The
United States hare only about 27,000
men in the army, and about 3,000 of
these are officers. Spain has an army
of about 400,000. This country could
easily raise an arm of 10,000,000 if it
feecame necessary, bat it would take,
it is estimated by competent authorities,
seven months at least to train
and prepare raw recruits for service.
A green recruit would be worth nothing
to man a mode, j fort with all of
its intricate machinery of defense.
The United States may have a
"walk-over./* bat the wise and sensible
thing to do is to act as if we expect
the war to last years. Oar
purpose in looking at the situation
from this point of view is to urge upon
our people the importance ot being
prepared for the worse. The best
thing we can do in the South is to
produce ali ihe bread stuffs that we

no good in a material sense. The
only thing that we have to sell, cotton,
will go tumbling down, and absolutely
everything that we have to buy will
bounce up just as soon as the war begins.
Raise what you need at home,
and you will be better off war or
peace.

VACCINATE THE PEOPLE.
Ia view of the Dumber of case* of
imallpox in Colnmbia, our council
should again vigorously enforce the
ordinance a3 to vaccination. We may
wake up gome morning an J find that
there are several cases of smallpox in
Winnsboro. The communication .between
Winnaboro and Columbia is
daily, and without the greatest pre-,
eaution the disease is more than likely
to reach this place. Not much has j
been said about the spread of the disease
during the past month and people
had began to think themselves secure.
With many cases only thirtyfire
miles from ns, and coming into
contact almost daily with some one
from the icfected region, it is no time
to be indifferent. Indifference and
delay at this time are dangerous, aud
may lead to most serious consequences.
Hundreds were vacciuated la*t December
and January in this community,
but there are hundreds who hare no?
been vaccinated. The council should
compel al! those who have not bern
vaccinated to suffer themselves to be
vaccinated. Let us not imagine ourselves
safe from this horrible dispa*e.
The interviews with the President
by his confidential advisers show thai
he is a greatly troubled man. lie
certainly wants to do what is right.
Mr. McKinley seems to fully appreciate
the awful responsibility |that
rests upon him this week. The man

lack of firmness. Th? safe aud conservative
mm often has to face the
accusation of 6traddiing and vacillating.
In this day of high civilization, x
nation cannot go to wai without a jast
cause, and one that will receive the
moral sanction of tht civilized world.
We believe the United States has
abundant ground to intervene, but
there is not great unanimity among
thos? moit competent to express an
opinion.
If Mr. McKinley is not prepared, if
it is trae that it would be a great risk
to bring on a war now because the
Government has not sufficient w*r materials,
then we trust Cougress will
delay a few dava. The preparation of
a message to Congress such as will be
from the President this week
?r
is no child's work. It can not fee done
in a moment. The President should j
hare time to do justice to ^himself and
t? the country. It w true that the un- j
certainty and suspense of the past
week has been painful, but if a little
further endurance of the pain will !
offer any hope of honorable peace,
then a delay of a few days should be
endure.i. The delay can not be long.
The President must realize that Congress
?aa not i>e held in check much
longer, and the country is as impatient'
for action as Congress.
Lieut. Tottek, the famous author
of "Our Raos" series, a remarkable
set of books intended to prove that the
Anglo-Saxon race is in fact the de-1
scendants of the ten lost tribes of
Israel, predicts important events from
Kft OOfT* rvf MowVi frv lef nf Ann!.
that greater events will happen from
the loth to the :.s;h of April. By the
time this is read, ^Congress may have
passed the resolutions ot intervention
or declared war. Whether you believe
in Totten's theory or not, his
books will be found exceedingly interesting,
especially as an interpretation
of the prophets. We read thein five
or six years ago, and the Migration of
an alliance between Gt>ar. Britain aad
the United Slates recalled that Totfeu
in his "Oar Esce" mentions a cloeer
*nion of the two repre.sentai.ikvs of
Israel?Great Britain and the United
SiVt^s. Possibly the great events
from loth April to 18th April will be
great battles.
Thx News and Herald said several
weeks ago that the reiult of the relations
between this country ?-?d Spain
would result either in war , i back
down. Hourly ne ot these
looked for. On Friday the nswspapers
announced that Spain bad answered
the President's note, and the
answer was evasive. Spain hints that
the United States has no business to
dictate to her. On the same day it
wa? announced in the papers that the
order congregating the rrconcentrados
had been revoked, but the trath of this
does not seem to be substantiated.
Spain impresses the average citizen,
who does not not know anything about
the w*y? of diplomacy, that she is
fighting for Lime. It is delay she
wants. In the meantime Congress is
impatient, and may not wait on the
slow diplomatic machinery.
Sometimes we feel that the President
is not inclined to bs firm enough in
his demands on Spain; ths: bis policy
ought to be more aggressive and that
he appears to have plic^d the United
States in the attitude of begging
favors when they demand their rights,
but the public do not know all of the
secrets of the administration. It
would be a very unwise thing to make
public everything that is done. It is
not so c?ear to us that the President
I
had not sent hi? note to Spain before i
Congress showed such dissatisfaction j
with his very tame message.
Tottek's prediction has been verified.
On the 29th March a caucus
?f Republicans threatened to rebel
against Tom Reed. The next day Tom
Reed bad to plead earnestly to hold
them in check. Truly an important
event did happen between the 29th of
March and 1st of April.

Farmers are quite busy planting

j both should be planted. I was in-'

of the cost of production, he

steam. That certainly iessens the cost

planted more extentively. He also
informed me that he saved tba pumtnel
bv putting it up so the air could get
through it and cattle would eat it in
preference to bay.
There is no doubt more cotton will
be planted this year than last; not
that farmers will-plaut more to tbe
plow, but tbe number of plows have
beed increased. More guano is being
used than last jear, but a quantity of
it is being used for corn and other
crops besides cotton.
! I believe one araon# the most serioas
drain* on the farmer is the lonir-bodied,
tang'ed-Jeg, barrel-beaded Western
hone, directly and indirectlv. They
have no sfaminer whatever, and are
much more expensive feed compared
with the Kentucky or well-bred homeraised
horie. There i* no pleasure or
satisfaction in driving them and no
comfort or safety in riding them. The
greatest luxury that a farmer can have
is a good saddle horse that would
carry a man 40 or 50 miles over onr
hilly country and be ready for to-morrow,
with as much ease as a steamboat

Mobley would express it, "jnst stick#
his head out and hare a regular negro
nod." Those kind of hories are not
handled here on account of the cheap
horse. That accounts for so many
baggies being used?$40 oe $50 every
few years. The remedy, I think, is to
get well-bred horses and raise new
ttock. It's true some of us haven't
practiced what we bave preached.
Theoretically I have known all along
that the plan was a good one, and
from our more enterprising neighbors
bave seen its successful operation.
There are men in every neighborhood
with money and enterprise that would
purchase and keep a good horse to
raise from. We are so fortunate in
community to b*ve one already.

Oar little cify has been very peaceful
for the past few weeks, altLough we
have been keeping onr attention on
the Spainsh-Americau war, making
plaus and arrangements to go to the

thiuk, as I always navp, that i* will
only be a rumor and not j* war except
in words. Mr. Editor, I think if
every true mind would cast a genuine
thought upon the situation of our
country he would be led to make the
exclamation: "Are we not in war
al cady"! It ii a matter of fact that
human blood is becoming one of the
cheapest articles of the United States.
Just think of it, only fifteen years ago
the homicides of (he United States
reached 1,000 lor the first time in i!s
history. In 1886 the number exceeded
tbe 1,000 mark, that year going over
1,450, and since that year down to the

Ihet it attracts the civilized world. It
has been nearly doubling every year
until now there are over 12,500 polling
yearly by the bands of his fellowman
in the United States, and at the end of
this year, if the ratio continue*, it will
go beyond the 20,000 mark. There is
no European country that has onefourth
the caurderers to each million
of its population as the United States.
Take Engiarid proper, which has a population
of 30,000,000, yet it has 377
murderers only. Then take ItaW, the
most murderous country of the European
nation, which has a population
of about one-half that of ours, and yet
she has less than one-fourth "the
murders committed as that of the
United States, making about half according
to population. Now I would
ask each individual, to what is all this
cine? I would sav, for my part, it is
certainly doe to our government,
which goes to prove that it is by no
means on a fcolid foundation. We
may boast to the European nations of
our libertv and freedom, yet while we
have freedom we have war, and while
they are under strict subjection they
have peace. Now, Mr. Editor, I have
gone farther than I really intended. I
doubt if you publish it so I had better

DON'T WAIT.
BY MISS JOSIE S. "WILKES.
Don't wait till her eyes are closed in
death,
Ana tired hands are laid to rest;
Don't wait to give, to love, and cheer;
Don't wait too late, then say with a
tear,
"I shonld have done this, or I know
I've done wrons,
She's gone now, and 0, God! I waited
too long."
Don't kneel by her form and kiss her
dear hand,
And say, "Mother, come back, we'll
do all we can
To ease every burden, and soothe every
care;
We'll guard thee, dear mother, you'll
have nothing to fear."
Hush! the 60ft promise? ihey fall on
rlpr.f pars.
She's gone where there', neither sorrow
nor tear?,
The chains that brand her to earth and
its signs,
Have been snapped by God's will, she's
resting; 011 high.
And when that tale of neglect she shall
tell,
Angels may weep, but with her it is
weil;
God bas take-i her in His own good
time,
Bat grieves with His angels lor those
left behind.
How calmly she sleep?, ber life work
all done,
Heaven ner reward by services won;
A shining ligfit in that far distant laud,
Naodinrr no care in God:s an?el band.
The tale has been told, the race has
been run,
Her best years spent for you -now
what have yon done
To repay her for iove, eeh'-denial aud
pain?
Do you think she would like to come
back bere again?
No, you feal with a pang how neglected
while here
Now the angel of mercy has dried her
last tear.

$3,000 for the purchase of a suitable
site for a school and the erection of a
building was put to a ballot and * as
carried. The unity of action of our
people was well illusirated by the vote
taken ou this occasion. At a previous
meeting ?f the citizens of the town, a
- * - *1 - i*? t. _ 3
ticKet tor tne municipal omcere naa
been nominated, and after a liberal
discustion resolutions were drawn to
the effect that the town should float
bonds for the erection of a school (
building. In the election held on j
Monday there was not a dissenting!
vote fmm th? actions expressed by j
that meeii^T? everv one voting for the i
ticket nom.u&.ixi and in favor of floating
bonds for (he erection of a school
bailding. Their vote on the former
subject well illustrates the unity of the
people, together with their good judgment,
while the latter illustrates their
unity, iheir good judgment, and a
nrthlp nnrnnip. hackedhv readv action. I

The site decided upon for the 6chool I
house is a six-acre oak grove'in the j
centre of the' town, know as "Ivt
Hill." It was the site of rhe old Davi9
residence, ana siuce the trees set oat
have reached a good growth we feel
tbat it is not an exageration to say that
it will make as fine a high school campad
as there is in upper Carolina.
From the street in front there runs
back an avenue ol huge mockoranges,
which ends at the apex of the hill in a
circle of cedars surrounded by ma*sive
oaks. In the rear it stretches out
with a beautiful level plain. This hill
was for years the home of that family
which ushered Ridgeway into prominence
a? a trading town, and it is
very appropriate for Ridgeway to secure
its permanent preservation as
property of tbe town by erecting on it
a monument to that cause to which
she must look as her futnre life and
hope.
Perron* here hive often spokeu to
the writer of some previous time
when education was a dead issue in
Ridgewav, but we are glad to sav that
fViJo twoc in hdnnv divs nf vore."
Tt>e froth is, she is thoroughly alire
on educational subje?t? ucw. and the
vote taken on Monday was not taken
under the impulse of the moment,
bur was the result of dae discuision
and long meditation on the sabjeet.
The stringancy of the times renders it
oui ot the question to speak of reach
ing tbe massas of the people with a
college education and ihe common
schools are good so far a* ther go, but
do not go far enough, so the desire of
the people to institute a high school in
which they can thoroughly prepare
their children for the ordinary vocations
of life at home and at little cost
to the individnal is a noble one and
should meet the approval of every one
interested in the came of education.
The ladies of the town are organizing
them-elv<js into aozi iary societies,
anil if i* n.p;r purpose, by different
meaHV es. iu r .! * money during the
spring and ftitnm r months to furnish
the school buildin-. Since they have
tak?n this matter into baud and are
pn>-hii)tr it with thar vim, unity, and
per^evrrance peculiar to our good
women, (he most sceptical bare ceased
to speculate a? to whelber it will be a
success
In the future RiJgeway will put
forward as her headlight, education.
