several times at the flag ship New
York, bur. the New York was fire
miles off and the officers went to bed
undisturbed. 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

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.

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

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

Order, heaven's first hw, is strictly
observed in every department and

dormitories ot the small boys bear
testimony to their training also.
All praise to the venerable and efficient
president, Rev. Wm. P. Jacobs,

a ''lather to ibe fatherless," whose
orphan family at p.esent, numbering

MUSK GROVE'S MILL.
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

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. E. K.

DM APPEARING GCXS.
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. This was ucder

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

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.
He was a man of deep and lasting
convictions, a man of apparently f?w
mistakes. If once be rn<tde up his
mind to do a tiling he went at it with
his whole manhood and remained
there till it was accomplished or he
found that success was not attainable.
Few men were like hira.
Cape. Legg was buried with Masonic
honors in the Cool Braneh Church
new cemetery just in front of the
temple in which he worshipped so long
and loved so well. He was followed
to his last resting place by a large concourse
of sorrowing and weeping
relatives and friends. His former

the life of the deceased.
<lDevout, yet cheerful; pitus, not
austere;
To others lenient, to himself severe;
Though honored, modest; diffident,
though praised
The proud he humbled, and the bumble

Studious, yet social; though polite,

No man more learned, yet no man less

His fame would universal envy move,
But envy's lost in universal love."
To his sadly bereaved widow we
tender our heartfelt sympathies.

TQB SOUTH IN FKONT?
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.

the cause of your sickness?
It is easy to tell by setting aside
your urine for twenty-four hours; a
sediment or nettling indicates an unhealthy
condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate, scanty snpply, pain or
dull ache in the back is also convincing
proof that the kidneys and bladder
