It i6 practically a declaration of war. It is resolved that Caba is, and of right ' .onght to be iree, they demand that Spain relinquish its authority and j government in the island and with draw its land and naral forces from Cuba and Cuban waters, that the President is directed to use the land and naval forces of the United States and the militia of the several States to carry these resolutions into efiect. The resolutions disclaim any intention of the United States to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or ?on rol over the island. Spain must fight or back down. IMPORTANT TO DEMOCRATIC CLUBS The Constitution of the Democratic party io this State requires all clobs to meet on the fourth Statarday in April. That will be next Satuaday. The matter seems to have escaped the attention of our county chairman as well as Dearly everybody else. VTe refer to Article II, which reads , as follows: "The lueitiajs of the club skill lis frequent alter the opening ?f the myt&si, auA aoive member of tha club ?r iovifcd speaker, dtliver aa address at each ateetiag, if practicable. The dubs sJitU mat ? the fourth Saturday in April and the county convention on the first Monday in May, respectively, of each Aeetivn year: Provided, that the county executive- comfoitt-oA mav n*m *rrr of-bar dav within ihc same week for su?h clab meeting by giving at le?6t two week* notice by advertisement In conaty papers." (Italics ours) * * * It will be seen from the above that the clubs cannot meet later than the fourth Saturday in April, in any event, and we can see nothing in Article II requiring the county chairman to give notice to the clubs. It i? fixed by party law. Ao mnma nocf inn rru> w H#> rjocprl OK OVVUV vw - ?? ? to the legality of tbe party organization in this county, we advise all clubs to hold meetings next S&tirday, 23rd inst., and elect delegates to the convention to be held [on the first Monday in May. It is well to remember too that one-fomrth of tbe members of a clnb is neeessary to constitute a quoram for the transaction of business. In order that the letter ot the law may be followed, we print tbe whole constitution in another column. IT IS WAS. T&e President'* message is a fine piece of English composition. The greater part of it is a strong recital of the barbarities practiced by Spain on Cuba, but the couutry was well acquainted with all of these facts before the President7* message was delivered. But one sentence in the whole message reeeives the applause of the whole country, riz.: "The war in Cuba must stop." The President tells bow he proposes to stop tris war, he meets with opposition. He wants authority to stop it, and stop it by force. Redoes net specify whether be will compel the Spaniards or Cubans to Say down arms. It is impossible to ?ay whether or not the President's poiicy is to wage war against the insurgents or the Spaniards. H6 merely asks for the authority aud power to stop the war. I?e is epposed to the' recognitioa of tke belligeieot rights of the insurgents, and his reeonamendatioas are so ambigaens that it ie impossible to tell whether he is a friend to ufrea Cuba" er not. He refers to, the de&trucnon of the Maine as anj incident oi the intolerable condition# J in Cuba, and we believe that a great majericr of the American people consider the Slaine disaster our strong ground for a declaration of war against Spain. They believo that, instead of making it an^iacident of "the intolerable condition?," it should be brought prominenlly to the front. The failure to make a prompt and firm demand for reparation on this account opened the way to Sagasta to remove, ostensibly, every other ?ause for complaint. 3iow the whole matter is in the hautSa of Congiess. That body has pat; ittelf on record in favor of free Cuba. It has complained of dillydallying diplomacy. Will it by much speechmaking be equally guilty of dilly-dallying? The present outlook i* that the Foraker resolutions will be -passed. If this should be done, it means war. These resolutions favor free a?d independent Cuba, demand the withdrawal of Spanish troopa, and the President is authorized to use the laad and navy forces of the United States to carry the resolutions into effect. Nothing but a complete Spanish surrender will pre-vent war. Itch ou human, maD?e on horses. \2ogs and all stock, cured in SO minute# by Woolford's Sanilary Lotion. This; never fails. Sold by W. E. Aiken,: -druggist, Winnsboro, S. C. * The Prohibitionists have named a full State ticket, and wii) make a fight j all along the line including ujcofc-jrs j of the Gensral AssemWy. As bet the dispensary and prohibition we will j take prohibition every time. The pro- j bibitionists tried the separate ballot J box, and they got the dispensary as "the nearest approach to prohibition." Now they wiil contend for straight and absolute prohibition, and in order that there may be no mistake th*y name their tisket. It has been made, it appears, without regard to formsr factional lines. Other t&ndidates will doubtlets appear dmriBg the summer, and we prefer to wait and see what platform they will announce befora committing ourselves. Jusl at present we are inclined towards the prohibition ticket. I Gen. Ccrrea, Spain's Minister of War, says: "I wish io God Spain h3d not a warship from Cuba to the Peninsula. We could then say to America: "We are! Meet lis when you please." Considering the superiority of the American n*yy and how far Spain will be trorn ber base of supplies, this would be a prudent plan of campaign. | It would shift the seat of the war I from the &<:& and Cuba to Spain. The result of the conflict would be the same, and Spain would probably have a bigger indemnity fo pay because the cost of Ike war would be so much greater if the U -ited States shall have to land troops in Spain instead of Cuba. Coffeb, tea, k?er and tobacco must pay the expentes of the war. These are not necessaries, and there is justice in taxing them. All limies should be taxed. THE CITADEL ACADEMY TROUBLE. Newberry Obstixer. We deplore the fact tbat sixty-four cadets have been expelled from the academy became a few of the boys "broke barracks" ?n a recent nigiht to accept an invitation to a ball or banqn#t at the armory of th? S-imtcr Guards acros9 tne street irora me I academy. Cadst Canfcey, who had retired for the nignt, and was act ox daty that day and also ?et ea friendly terms with the 'boyp, ?a being toM of the breach, by a roatt-Atate, i?m?c?ately got up and informed on the hapless hOT8. Of course the bays wha stepped oat had committed a fault?though set an anpardonable one?and should have been punished, yet not to the fall j limit of the Jaw. The panishment, 1 we thint, was extreme. The student friend* of the boys in the escapade were indignant that one who was not on daty should have acted as a spy or informant, and, impulsively, were about to place him without harm outside the college walls. This we are told by a reliable gentleman is a true statement. The climax was reached when they found thai the commannant, who anticipating the matter, had a body of policemen in readiness. We have authority for saying that it is untrue thet the boys had liquor. Their mistake was in net retiring when they found Col. Coward present While we are not condoning the offense of the breach committed by the boys, there is palliation in the lact that they apologized and expressed regret at their action, and as boys as well as men have their grievances, we are of the opinion that the commandant, who is a man ot years and experience, with the aid of his lieutenant, might have disciplined the boys and show a them IUVU' pcni(.'U9 ^/UOIULUU AUu puogiuiv ?A pulsion by their act of disobedience aad insubordination. The trouble might have beeD stopped in the incipient stage. As Col. Coward knew of the condition existing, might he not have prevented the deplorable issue by a few brave and manly words, kindly yet firmly spoken? Thai keeping the unfortunate circumstance within the institute and saving it from reproach. We should behind and merciful to erring youth, and save it from itsei:, ! even in a military school, when it expresses regret and apologizes foi errors committed or mistakes made. "We repeat that the action of the I cadets was one of disobedience and not * criminal offense. Baekleu'c Aralp* Sal* The Best Salve in the wor!4 Cuts, Bruises, Sores, Ulcere, Salt Bbeum,.
