Tbe signals were continued, and no attention was paid to the Castle's guna. The fighting fleet nowv blockading Cuba had an exciting chase after a warship Saturday, but it turned out to be an Italian warship, and the gunners were disappointed. John Sherman has sent hi* resignation as Secretary of State to the President. Sherman says that the reports about his failing health and menial decay are untrue, but that in an exciting-crisis like the present a younger man is needed. It is thongbt that Jadge Day, who has virtually filled the office during the present adminis-*riH crirr-oori ShArmftn. UAUN/Uj Tt Ail OMVVVVV4 N/uv Tie President's proclamation calls for 125,000 volunteers to serve for two years, unless sooner discharged. South Carolina's quota will be 2,280. It is pretty well settled that Geiieral Lee, Theodore Roosevelt and Col. Fred Grant will be commissioned bri^ad;?r-gcnera!& Headq*art?r3 for volunteers will be establish at Wwhiagfcon, Atlanta and Irfdiu*aw?. Senor Clensros wa* ia Charleston Saturday on his way to see General Lee. His daughter is bow a guest of General Lee's family. Jehn Jacob Asior Mas offered to raise and equip a battery of artillery at an expense of $50,000. The Spaaish fleet was still at Cape Verde Islands oh Sunday, bat it was rumored that it would move Monday. Cape Verde belongs to Portugal, and it is said :hat the United States have notified the Government at Lisbon that, under international law, the fleet must be made to move or remain there during ihe war. This position on the part t( the United States arises out of the faet that Portugal is neutral. The Mangrove has left Key West to cut tie cable between Cuba and Spain. The United States Gevernment ha3 assumed absolute . supervision of all cable messages sent from Key West t? Cuba. It is new no longer a question as to whether the United States and Spain will hare war, but it is a question whether the war will last a few weeks or a few months or even a year. Of coarse, the plan of campaign can not be made public, but it seems that two views are entertained. One is to blockade Havana, and eat off supplies from that port. Starvation is as effective to conquer as bullets. Another plan is to land troops on the island of Cuba and attach the Spaniards in both the rear and front. r This war will be watched with the keenest interest br military and naval men of the civilized world. Modern war ships have never been fairly tried, and it is to a great extent an experiment. Coal is absolutely nects sary, and it mGst be supplied in enormous quantities. Florida is only about 80 miles from Cuba, and the United States will have this very great advantage over Spain. Florida can be made the baso of supplies for our forces. On the other hand Spain is about 4,000 miles from Cuba. Nododt has any idea that the Spanish will attempt to invade any of the States, bit it is well to renember that it isUtrtie Sam's ehips that will keep on*. If the p*li?r ef the Kews aur. Ce>mw, that ef waitiag until the Spaniards laaded bofore volunteering for sei?y4*e, should be followed, we have very little doubt bat that the Spaniards would attempt to land, and very probably would succeed. If we are not willing to help Unc:e Sam Ight his battles, why should we expect Unsle Sara'* ships to protest us from invasion? Why not come out boldly at once, and be done with it, and say this is not our country any way, we have no interest in it, no respect for its constitution, flag or anything connected wiiL it, that our profession of loyalty to the Federal Government, in time of peace, was mere hypocrisy, and that now when occasion arises for the exhibition of genuine leyalty we flatly refuse it? It is almost treason to try to discourage any man from volunteering for service on the ground that this is not "our war."' There may be honest difference of opinion as to whether a casus belli exists, we may differ a? to whether or not the trouble could not hare been settled, by diplomacy, but since our country has acted there can be no question as to onr doty. The Confederate soldier himself has set us a splendid example of duty for tbe present emergency. Many of them doubted the expediency of secession, and some doubted tbe casas belli, but they all responded to the call to arms, and they didn't stop with guarding the State lines. A FRICANA will eve CematipaSioa *nd i ** is i wonderful Liter MeAiciee. Trrfc. \ -j MMMaaattigMpa Ts? intcHisfc in the war is now in* tense. The President has made a call for about 125,000 volunteers *wd the:: will be apportioned among the States according: to Bonulation. South Caro lina's quota will be 2,230, and from ! indications this number of volunteers will be fnrnisbed without any trouble Governor Ellerbe has recommended to the President that Major Garlingtoa, U. S. A., now stationed at "Washing and a native of Newberry County, be appointed brigadier general of the South Carolina volunteers. Tbis action seems to meet with general approval. Some confusion seems to exist as to exactly how and when the Governor will call for volunteers. One plan first suggested wa* that he would order the entire State malitia to Columbia, and then make a call on them to volunteer, bat this plan seems to have been changed. Under ihe bill j*st passed by Congress, the Governor will have the right to appoint regimental officers. It is said tnat Major J. E. AIsIod stands a good chance of scouring a colonelcy of a regiment. Msjor Alston is a native of Fairfield. If General Miles would only retire, or get out of the army in some way, Southern troops would feel more enthusiasm. The man, who pst chains on Jeff Davis, cannot hope to be popular in the South. Southern soldiers will always obey orders, but they caonofc have the lespect for General Miles that ought t? axist towards their commander. The report that volunteers from the South will be cent to Cuba because they could stand the climate better has bees denied. We hope that this will not be done. Yellow f:ver is *orse than Spanish bullets and the American vomateers fchostld be sent 10 the front j wilhout regard to which State they j | belong. i A YOr.UOTEEK in this part the conn-' try will have great sacrifice*: to mak<?. In nearly erery case, he ie in debt At home, his family is entirely dependent upen him for support, and : is (sr.ung loose his business is a greet sacrifice. Many "will volunteer*-, thoug h, if it is necessary. As beti^eea $p&i.e and South Carolina, the y?w? and Courier seen* to be for the latter, but as between Spain and the United States, we would like to know on which aide the News and Courier does stand. Cebtaiklt the United States will readily eonsent to have the hostilities confined to this side. If tbe fighting is localized to Cuba and Cnban waters, then the duration of the war will be short. The "blue uniform" doesn't revire very pleasant associations in this part of tbe country, bat big men and truly brave men can rise above mere sentiment. The Maine belonged as much to 1 South Caroliua as to New York, and Sotth Caro.'ina should assert her interest as vigorously as New York. If the European power < should ask that hostilities be confined to this side, it w'il be a move against Spain and not cjfainst the United States. The State malitia will have the first chance to volunteer. Under the constitution they can not be sent out of the State unless thev volunteer. 'm m It is no joke. Cuba will be free and the destruction of the Maine avenged, but many Americans will have to sacrifice their lives lor it. The South should Btand by the i'reaident. He ha3 an awful responsibility, and we shoald do all in our pswer to support him. South Carolina troops no doubt worild be glad to join the Yirginians, and be nnder General Lee. Now that war actually t.\ the casus belli discussions are enti.i y out1 of order. It may be & walk-orer, bat it is safer to prepare yourself for bard j fighting. Do not break your neck to join the [ army. There is plenty of time. The South will do ber duty in the present crisis. Is the militia in Fairfield ready? FREYKNT THE COLLAR FE034 CALLI>GT1E 8KOULDSV. Souther Farnw m/td- ItHtuUmrut, As the weather grows warm lhara is danger ef the shoulders of horia* aad mules beiag injared fry badly ft ting collars and neglect to ase simple precautionary means. Even if the gear is properly adjasted there is risk of the shoulders becoming galled from the chafing of the collar. This may be prevented by bathing th6 shoulder in oold water at noon and evening when work is stoped. Much annoyance and loss of time may be avoided by the nse o 1 this simple preventive means. The should of the plow stock, how| ever, are often injired by a defective adjustment of the collar. This should be so fitted on that the pressure cansed by the tension of the traces will ba evenly distributed over the the entire surface. The trace when stretched should be at right angles io the line of the shoulder. The proper and only legitimate use of the bacs band is to i secure this adjustment. It is not uncommon, hawever, to see the upper hame string lied so loosely that the tug to which the trace is a'ttached rest* j?st over the point of the shoulder. Wben this is the case sore shoulders may be guaranteed, instead of the pressure of the collar being uniformly distributed aloug the surface of the shoulder, it is concentrated upon its point while the collar is thrown forward from the shoulder above. Use the ounce of preventive and avoid serious los3 occasioned by stopping plows in fhe busiest reason. I was r?adiog an advertisement of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in the Worcester Enterprise recently, which leads me to write tbis. I can truthfully say I never used any remedy equal to it for colic and diarrhoea. I have never had to nse more than one or two doses to cure the worst case with myself or children.-?W. A.

Daring a pleasant visit to friends in Laurens County?families that have for generations past been regarded as the landmarks of that historic county (and iu whose homes genuine hospitality reigns annreme")?it was the ?.?J m? ?f , privilege of your correspondent to visit and make a close inspection of the places above mentioned. The former an imperishable monument to the Southern Presbyterian Church, Laurens County and the town of Clinton, which should jastly be proud of such a noble acquisition- an institution which bears the name of one of the mo^t distinguished theologians the world has ever known?the immortal Thornwelh who was himself an orphan. October 1st, twenty-one years ago, heralded the advent of that home for orphans?one building only on the premises with about ten iumate3, exclusive of the president's family. Toe solitary building received the name of "Home of Peace," and i? now reserved for the accommodation of large girls. Eleven substantial buildings now adorn the spacious campus; coucrete, granite and brick being the materials u&ea id their construction. Their interior* are neat and convenient in every respect handsomely finished, much of tbe work being done in tbe technical school. Memorial Hall presents a beautiful interior, while upon its walls is suspended a tablet of finest Italian marble inscribed to the momory of the Sainted Divine in honor of whom this noble institution was named. Faith Cottags Jor little girls; Seminary, where all are given the advantages of a liberal education; McCormick Home for large girls; Harriet Home for girls; Augustine Home for boya; Infirmary, where the sick are faithfully nursed; "Children's Gift Academy" and Technical School. Order, heaven's first hw, is strictly observed in every department and neatne-s prevails throughout. The dormitories ot the small boys bear testimony to their training also. All praise to the venerable and efficient president, Rev. Wm. P. Jacobs, D. D., who has indeed proved himself a ''lather to ibe fatherless," whose orphan family at p.esent, numbering 165, consists of representatives from Scotland, Yerino.nt, and several South ern States.

In Laurens County, on the bank of the Enoree Hirer, (with its lovely sheals, picturesque and romantic scenery), stands the historic Muskgrove's Mills, tbe scene of & battle (August 18, 1780,) between the Americans n-ataar> p.r?i Willifim*. nf "Minfitr-Six. aided Sy Cols. Shelby and Clark, and a regim ut of British and Tories under Col, Innis, in which the latter were routed. There are many spots of interest rendered memorable during the struggle of onr forefathers for American independence. On the crest of a hill, near the banks of the river, in Laurens County, stands the miller's residence (Allen Maskgrove by name) whose daughter Mary ha* been jastly styled a heroine of the Revolution, having rendered sueh conspicuous services during those troublous limes, whose life was embittered by the death of her lover (John Ramsey) ih his attempt to liberate the gallant Arthur Butier from the hands of ;i cruel foe, he (Butler) having been confined as a prisoner of war in her father's house. * A portion of the old bouse is preserved from whence the dauntless hero made the hazardous leap, and the tree which rendered such friendly aid in receiving him auaenjj its spreading boughs?a siJeut but forcible reminder of that eventful night. The old mill house, long siace reduced to ashes, has been replaced by another on or near the same spot. A powerful combination of machinery is operated under ;he roof entirely water ?grist, saw, flour mills, thresher and ginning. Standing within its walls (in Lauren County) tr.e eye can rest almost at a glance upon two adjoining connlies?Spartanb org and Union. On the opposile banks of the river, in Spartanburg County, is the "Gullied Hill" ?grand and majestic in appearance? with its red sallies and waving pines, touching high above the rippling waters of the stream below. Upon its crest were displayed the beacon-light that apprised the gallant Butler of the approach of his friends, Horse-Shoe Kobioson and John Ramsey, and was a signal that the hour for his liberation bad arriyed; the former a marvel of warlike valor, the "Hero of the Waxhaws," a modern Hercules, who was ever and an#n rendering timely aid to his compatriots. . Within a stone's throw of the mill (in Laurens County) is a lone neglected grave, on a rugged hillside overlooking the river, reputed to be the last resting place of Mary Muakgrove, with rude stones for marble, simply adorned (in the balmy month of June) with Cherokee roses, which seem to cling voluntarily to the hallowed mound. li.

To test the safety of dieappsaring guns the English coniMtecf experiments at Portland io 185-5 A pit was dug io the natural slope of a hill, and in this pit a wooden model of a large gun was mounted upon a disappearing carriage. It was arranged to appear for half a minute at intervals of tbree minutes, easit a paff of smoke and disappear. The Hercules at 800 yards fired in ten minutes 6,910 rounds from the machine guns and 29 rounds from its six-pounders. The gun stuck at the seventh minute, and could not be hauled down. In spite of this it was struck only sixteen times, and h*d it been steel the effect would have been simply to stratch the paint. Besides thi? twenty-eigbi ten-inch shells were fired at it from a distance of 2,500 yatds, and uo hits were made, the shell striking l'rotn 30 yards short to SOO yards over, and from 120 jards left to 130 yards right.

Q>3FLX A,. *2C*$raT 3* ( CAPT. JAMES J OSTCS ATtS VASflttetW LEGG. (Written Especially fdr The News and Herald by Request.*) The subject of this sketch was bom in Spartanburg cotmty on the 23rd day of May, 1830, and died at his home, near Shelton, on Sunday night, April 3rd, 1898, from a complication of disease. The deceased entered the Confederate army early in the beginning of the war as a private and rose to the rank of Captain. Judging from this circumstance he must have been a soldier of marked ability and true patriotism. But it was as a neighbor and cifizen that we best knew him. He was true to himself, his friends, hi* couuty and State, ever ready to advise the one and serve the other. He was often importaned by his friends to allow them to place him in high political poiitions,, but he always modestly refused, and informed them that his highest aspirations were to be an humble, upright citizen. Just a few years previous to the war, in 1856, he was married to Mra. Ma'.indst J. McConnell by which he nnssesRftd of considerable real estate and then turned his attention to agricultural pursuits, wbich he followed till the breaking out of the war, when he enlisted as a soldier, after it closed he again took up his chostn profession and followed it closely and successfully and at the time of. Ms death was possessed of a large estate and having no children he bequeathed it all to bis widow. Captain Legg wai one of the best known and most popular citizens of our section. He was known not only as able, honest, jast and upright among his fellowmen but was well known for his sterling moral and Christian deportment and virtues. He wa# devoted to his religion and his church. He became a member of tha Cool Branch Baptist Church early in the sixties, and from that tim# on till ms death we might say he was the very sonl of hi* church As deacou and superintended of the Sunday School he served his God, his chnrch and his people with a fidelity that knew no wavering. He kept his Sunday School open every Sonday.through the year, and we can !>av in all sinceuity' that a deep interist was always manifested in his lectures and other exercise?, as the large crowd of children and grown people always in attendance attested. By his daily walk, by Shis painstaking and high Christian virtues for more than a quarter of a century bt has done more for the moral and intellectual training of this section than all the ministers and school teachers that served here daring that period. He l!nlu nliMHron 011(1 olni?rB mx.ni. l\J TCU VllliUi VU UUU fested a deep interest in whatever be believad to be for their good. lie has aften expressed to the writer of this sketch his deep conviction as to the grand future of our beautiful southland it' tbe present rising generation were properly educated.

If it is the determination of the war j department to form an army of Cuba# invasion out ot Southern soldiers, itii net likely that it spr>r:g3 from any disposition on the part of the North to shirk. Oa the other hand we think that the administration believes that the number of soldiers to be called ont will be small, that the nHmber of places in the army will be Jar less than the number of volunteers and that it will be showing a preference to the South by allowing: 5ottthern men to do the fghting. Without regard to the causes of the war and the effect of the war directly upon the South, we believe that if there must.be war, the South 6hoold push to the front and do aa much of the fighting as possible. A demonstration "to tbe whole country that the Sontb is not only willing to flghc under tLe stars and stripes bat is valuable to the whole country as a soldier producing taction would be of groat value to the Souib. If tbe South should be so fortunate as to reap tbe chief henor of a victory over Spain, teaching North, West and East that tbe nation may lean upon her in time of need, it would be greatlv belpful to the South politically and otnerwise. In saying tbis, we are not speakicsr trom a sentimental standpoint. Sentimentally, the South is rich and great enough, but in a war with Spain tbe section which has the front place in the ranks will be in luek. The South will suffer industrially during ihs war, no matter what svciion provides the G^ht iiij? men. ? Greenville News. "saf HINDiPO "?w?6? viTAim i Made a s We"Man THE of Me.
