SELL TKE PHILLIPINJES. xne certainty tnat tne bimea oiaies will have the disposal of the Phillipine Islands is uatarally causing a great deal of discussion as to what will be dor.e with them. Already it is to be seen that there is an element among our &o called statesmen who are in favor of holding the Phillipines a3 United States territory. Such a thing will be contrary to the whole genius of our Government, and we believe the beginning of a rery dangerous step. As suggested from different sources the Monroe doctiine will have to be abandoned if the United States permanently retain tbese islanda. Europe can very properly say that "you have acquired territory on this side of the water, and now you can not deny our right to take some slices of territory on your side; shinney on your own side or we shall strike you." Sboaid tne unitea states noia th8 Phillipincs as their own territory, it will add to our already vast 8ea coast, necessitating a large sUnding army and a powerful navy. This means another step towards & strong centralized government, a tendency already threatening dangers to the Republic. It will miv the United States with tha ao called Eastern qnestion, and then it will not be with Spain alone that we shall have to be prepared to contend, bat the whole world, with the possible exception of Great BritaiD, and shs will use the Phillipioes as our possessions to drag us into her quarrels with Russia aDd other countries. Then again once ctart this new departure of adding to oar ttrritory by right of conquest, and the greed for more land will increase. We shall then waut Portico Eico, and even 'Cuba. The homogenous government is the strong and stable government. We hare enough hetrogeneitv now, and we do Dot want "any Spanish subjects to contrel. Sell the Phillipines, and let's hold what we now own. , ? ? Without any disposition whatever to shield a criminal we protest against a town council assuming authority to hold a preliminary in an alleged arson case. Meyers has just come amongst us, and we know noth?ng of his antecedents, but if it is sought to charge him with arson the law provides a way. Neither council or any legal tribuaal has the power to compel him - to ie*tify under oath as was done the other evening. Without -a warrant he can not be arrested; and accused be can not be compelled to testify in any .court. If there is evidence against Meyers, let a warrant be taken out as prescribed by law. It is often said that there is no power not assumed by a town council, but we believe that this is the first instance where a man has been summoned to attend an in* vestigation into a capital offense by silch a body. The Cape Verde fleet, it Is officially -? v announced, has landed at Cadiz. This . means that Spain will leave her West Indies possessions to the mercy of tbe United States. It will be no trouble V- . whatever to laad ftroops in Cuba now because Spain his ao fleet to prevent ~ it* One theory is that Spain will, send 2? her fleet to Manila and attack Dewey. Tbe so-called Cape Yeide fleet would be more than a match for the unarmored Asiatic squadron, but in the meantime our government will .see to it that Dawey is not taken by surprise. ^ The companies in ca up at Columbia have been thinned by the physicians, and there is an urgent demand for recruits. Already a battalion is wanted to proceed to Tajnpa, and it is not ready to respond. Of course, companies desire to preserve their organization, but this can not be done. Those wh? volunteer are supposed to do so from patriotic motives, and there should be no kick about maintaining the company organizations. Editjr Gonzales, of the Columbia State, has gone to Tampa to join the regular armr, and failing in that he will join the Cuban army. Cuba has no warmer friend than Mr. Gonztles. We hope Col. Alston will succeed iti havinsr the South Carolina troocs ? ? o I placed under General Lee. They will feel better under a general named Lee. The Oregon will have smooth and safe sailing now that no Spanish fleet is in-position to disturb her. Wlisn your stomach begins to trouble you, it needs help. The help it needs, is to digest your food, and, until it gets ir, you won't have any peace. Stomach trouble i? very distressing, very obstinate, very dangerous. Many oi most uaugervus uibe&seu uegiu with ample indigestion. The reason is that indigestion (soi-digeetion, notnourishment) xccalcens the sostem and allows disease germa to attack it. The antidote is Shaker Digestive Cordial, strengthening, nourishing, curative, at cures indigestion and renewt strengh and health. It dce3 this by strengthening the stomach, by helping it to digest your food. It nourishes you. Shaker Digestive Cordial is made of pure herba* plants and wine, is perfectly harmless and will certainly care all genuine stomach tromble. Sold by rirn.orcrict? Rrlr.fi 10 cents to $1.00 ner bottle. ' I OASTOHIA. Besrstie &*''' . 4 <? igjft * . Is: However superficial, may lis one's knowledge of (he State Constitution and the statute law of this State, it mu?t be clear to him that a town coun cil has no more authority to examine witnesses on oath as to .the cause of a fire than a self appointed body of men won Id hare. The right to examine witnesses on oath carries with it the power to compel the attendance of witnesses. Who will dare say that the town conncil had the power to do this? Acting Istendant Crawford practically admits that conncil had no authority to order an arrest of a person accused of arson, but where is the law constituting the t:>wu council the strand inquest? Was there any law ubstituting the town council ot WiDn?boro for the graad jury ? Clearly such proceedings are ultra vires. Of sucb offense as disorderly condnct on the street council can take jurisdiction, hut the Court of General Sessions alone has jurisdiction of arson. Council has not ?ven the power of commitment in such case3. We may say that our purpose in referring to tbis matter was not to antagoniza council, but merely to eall attention to an assumption of power that might lead to serious consequences. rairfield"baptist Sunday school convention, To b* Held at Crooked Bon Church, May J 7-29,1898. rriaay morning?iv o'ciock. 1.

' * ; - _ ' LOVED HIS STATE' Congressman William Elliott, in his address on Memorial Day, delivered at Charleston, referring to General BrattOD, as reported in the News and Courier, eaid: .Tnhn Bratton. ut)oa the secession of the State, promptly raised a company for State service, of which he was elected captain. When our troops were called upon to volunteer in the Confederate servic; most of Lis company refused 10 go, and Cratton ai once volunteered as a private in another compauy. While this refusal to enter the Confederate service seems, by the light of subsequent events, an extraordinary thing, yet it is due to the truth of history to siy that it was not at ali an uncommon occurrence, owing to opposition to serve out of ihe State. Several companies of Gregg's original regiment refused to go to Virginia, although great pressure was brought to bear upon them, and I saw them march to Governor Picken's headquarters, in Meeting street, under command of a prominent officer, who delivered a defiant address to the Governor. Six companies of Ker shavr'a regimont made a like refusal, 8ud it is duo to this fact that two Charleston companies, the Brooks Guards and the Palmetto Guards, wf-re able to enter that regiment, Col. Kershaw having been authorized^) call for volunteer companies from all paris of the State t? fiil tip his regiment: Bratton was elected junior second lieuten-mt of his company and served a year as such, and was subsequently elected lieutenant colonel, and fioally bccame coloDel of the 6th regiment. It will illustrate Bratton's fine sense of duty, and perhaps be beneficial in this time of war, to mention that, while such a course was undoubtedly most foreign to his nature, he determined, although having do military training, to manage his men according to strict army regulations. "I would read a regulation," he afterwards said, "and would then put it absolutely into ef lect." as m ouior cases, iuie iuauo bim unpopular for a time, bat bis soldiers soon learned to appreciate the worth of such a man and ever afterwards adored him. At the battle of Seven Pities his command broke through four lines of battle and be feil de>perately wounded and became a prisoner. In conrequence of hi? gallantry Gen. Phil Kearney ordered special attention paid him, and it is due to tlii-J, in all humau probability, that his life was saved. He served under LoDg-itreet in Tennessee and was complimonted bv him for gallantry. He the-i returned to Virginia, took part in all of Lee's wonderful campaigns, and bis brigade was one of the latt to give up at Appemattox. Scr thoroughly did his men appreciate the advantages of his fira discipline that they voluntarily, althoegh paroled, voted to retain their organization, and marched in their usaai way to Danville. Brattoa, like Hugood, and unlike McGowan, was slow of 3peech and, ordinarily in action, but in battle ha" became thoroughly aroused, ihougb never cxcited he became most animflfpfl. Rnf ho was nltno-pthflr r>n p&sed to an officer making noisy and profaoe demonstration, as a few were wont to do. Speaking of such an officer, who led Bralton's men irto a charge, he said, in his inimitable manner: "lie scared ray men to death; they were, not ussd to that sort of thing, and could not uuderstand it. Thev didn't need that to make them fight. If he had not stopped I don't believe they would have done a thing.' Ilis lore of his State was intense. A frisnd once said to him that the State owed him something?that he should be rewarded for bis services in the war. Bratton at once answered, 1'If South Carolina owes me anything I bcliove I should like to die knowing that 6he wa3 in nay debt I"' Like McGown, BrattoB's Jast thoughts were of his old comrades. In the moment of death he mistook a spasm of the heart for a bullet shot, and cried out: SBoys, I am wounded! Take me out into the fresh air." Such, in brief, is the military record of these three dead comrades of ours. I have not time to speak of their lives as citizens. That record is as clesr and]uoble as the other. What was so well said of one of them may wiih equal truth be eaid of each, "a soldier of distinguished skill and valor, a citizen devoted to the rights and welfare of the whole people, a man tried iu war and in peace, and found equal to eyerv duty and faithful to every trust." Where in the world'* history shail we find nobler representative's of a people than these? When the Confederate cause is called at the bar of final judgment we are willing that its fate should be determined by the lives of these men. A v-? a ? (% kn( i U ni m XJLUU > Ct lucy ftio UUl l) pea VI lUCU comrades; they bare been sinzled oat only because in the very recent past they have been taken from up, and the prominence of their lives enabled all men to see and know them. In the ranks of every command that mar#hed to battle nnder the Confederate banner there were buudredsof jast such heroes as these. To-day, when yon deck these moanda you will be paying tribute to men every bit as pure, as gallant and as steadfast. What wa^ it that produced such men? Did the men make the cans?, or did the cause make the men? An answir to this question uny be font:d in the assertion, which, I believe, all ray comrades will sustain, that men were greatly improved in character by servitein the Confederate armies. The hardships borme with- ut a murmur, the manly life, stripped of luxury, the denial and abnegation of gelf, ths example of God-feariB2 leaders, the constant facing of death, bnt more than all, the righteousness of the cause and a firm conviction of duty well done, greatly purified and ennobled them.

I | EXACT COPY"OF WRAPPER, J| TO REPORT BATTLES LIKE BASE BALL GAMES. W. B. Staart, an Atlanta Attorney, has a Scheme to Revolutionize Journalism in War. Atlanta Journal. W. B. Staart, crigiDally from South 'Carolina, but at present a practicing attorney of Atlanta, with law offices in the city cours building-, has devised a scheme which, if sncceasful, will revolutionize journalism ?:i the field of battle. Mr. Stuart is alto a telegrapher and has worked twelve years in some of ?ha l?rar??Qt f oloarrn n Vi niSoc: in iha South. Since the great naval battle between the American and Spanish fleets at AftanUa, Mr. Stoart has carefully watehed the eagerness with which a patriotic public had looked and looked again for something definite fr?m the gallant commodore, Dewey, and his fleet, and except through Spanish sources they bave looked in rain. Ue saw the impatienc3 of mankind in waiting until a dispatch boat could be sent from Manila to Hong Kong, a distance of about 600 miles, necessitating a three or four days' delay in receiving Dewey's report, and he said, "Can electricity be a failure? Have we got the old stage-coach method of conveying communications?'' He thought and thought again, and new says he ha* solved the problem in such a manner as will place the battleships in direct communication with the shore, and the battlefields in direct uviuiiiuuivauvu i*iiu IUV viJivcj uvuvu to the world. lie says these engagements can bs reported by a system of telegraphy something like the present system of reporting base ball ga oes in detail direct from the ball parks. So sanguine is Mr. Stuart in bis belief that he can make a success of bis scheme he now engaged in organizing a coinja y i;f 50 telegraphers to go to Cuba and demonstrate it. When seen by a Journal reporter today, Mr. Stuart said: 4'Ycp, it i? true that I am organizing a company composed eolely of telegraphers to go to Cuba. My id?a is to relieve the anxiety of mothers, sisters, daughters and wives while their loved ones are in Ciba fighting for their country by a system of telegraphy direct from the scene of battle that will enable us to report in detail everything that transpires without waiting a week perhaps to learn the news. Iu this enlightened age there is a clamor for news instanter in a crisis of this kind and I nope 10 oe at?ie iu sausiy iue puunu demand." "But how will you acsomplisii this?" he was asked. "Ia answer to that qaes:i)n I prefer to wait until I have placed my scheme before the war department. Jast a* soon as I have secured the requisite number of telegraphers who will accompany me I will ask my friend" Congressman Livingston to place the matter before the war department in Washington, and if unfavorable 1 shall then a?k the enterprising newspapers to aid ma in my venture to secure news 'when it is news.' " Continuing, Mr. Stuart said: "AlrtaJy an electiical hon-e has agreed to furnish one-tlrrd of the material to be u-ed gratis. Ii would be surprising to tell you how che*p stvh n scheme could be sati.-fhCio-iJy conduce!. If the war depa lmeut turns down my scheme I shall ih-11 a*k that we l>e allowed to accompany in-; uuup-* unuei ino nguuuuiw a* reporiers for Hewspupei s I i!o not believe my iC>rts will fail for lack of financial aid. If they do, why wecan. instead of moving to the *ound of electricity, more to the sonnd of the driun. I hare noted the nlod:-.8 operandi of i be government'* telegraph field train, but it's not modern enongli for this enlightened age.
