Those wh:> bave read the papers and kept up with the experience of this Slate in raising her quota, will fully realize soms ot the d ifflcultfe# in the way of raging a quick, sharp and decisive war. The physical examination has thiunei the ranks of the volunteers all over the country jest as has bion the case in this State. Then it must be remembered that many of these volunteers ar3 . raw recruits, and they must be drilled and otherwise trained for service ia actual war, to say nothing of the tremendous undertaking of supplying an araay ?f nearly two hundred thousand men with uniforms, guns, aaanitiouj tent3 and other necessary thiags for service ia the fiald. The rainy season begins in Cuba about the first of June, and many well informed army officers assert that no fighting can be deae in Cuba daring that season. So that it may be that the war department will delay a vigorous campaign until next fall. It seems pietty certain that the United States is not now prepared to take Cuba. At all events the end of the war is not now in sight. SUPPRESSING THE NEWS. The war department has very properly decided to stop the publication of the morement of troops and fleets. Of course, the public is anions to know all that is going ob, but if the newspapers pmblish from day to day where our fleets aie, and where our troops are, the new* reaches. Spain, and it ssrves practically all the purposes of having Spanish spies in our midst. If Spain knows Sampson's destination, with her apparent dodging policy all she has to do is to order her fleet to some point where Sampson will be avoided. The silence as to the movement of r the Cape Yerde fleet has been in P striking contrast to the publicity given to the whereabouts of ?ur fleets. But without the co-operation of the big dailies especially <cthe yellow journals," the censorship over press news will not be entirely effective. gpR'-- These great dailies often manage to get the news befere the government officials. The rivalry between them j is intense, and the enterprise displayed in obtaining news quick is wonderful. They have a chance now to show their patriotism. Often they can ?;rve their country at the present time by suppressing what under ordinary wa?1^ (mAnnt tr? ft. IIAL TTVCUU Miuvuui ?w ? . "scoop." When a great battle shall j have been fought, let them strira for "a beat" as much as they please, bat they should wait for such occasions. One of the most noticeable effects of the war has been the lack of interest in politics. We have observed that when you meet a man now he ws?nt8 to know the war news, and it is seldom that political news is wanted. We have had a great deal of politics in this State for the last seven years or more, and thongh war is not a desirable state of affairs yet we are glad that something has abated an abnormal surfeit of politics. We have entirely to? mack politics, and perhaps the only class of people who will regret the absence of political excitement are rfce offioe-hunters. They often hope that I in wild excitement the tide may drift them into office. While we welcome a cessation of politics in its worse form, we do net want it understock that we shall be " pleased at a general indifference to public matters. Lack of interest by the people in general often gives place trv ir>r?nmr>Aff>nf r>ffirtfi-Sfif?ker8. While the war is going: on and we are intensely interested in the success of soldiers as a!l true aud good eiticens should be, it is also the duty of every true and good citizen to look after affairs at home. Ixtendaxt Coax is Terr much interested in water works, and on bis visit to Yorkville made an examination into tbe works in that town. It is wholly unnecessary now to state the trre*t n Ivanfcaorea of water works. For ir. " => - vegetable and flower gardens, for & hundred conveniences in one's home, every one now knows the value of water works. By haviDg water through houses, the destruction by fire is improbable. It is true that water works will cost money.. but by reducing insurance rate? it will nearly offset j the increase in taxes. SaJ?tycFor Women.

COLEMAN. Mr. Editor: The subject of this eketch was born in Fairfield County on the 10tn day of June, 1828, and died at his bom?, at Feasterville, late Saturday evening, April SOlh, 1898, from heart failure. In 18C1 the deceased enlisted as a private in the Confederate army and rose to the rank of a lieu tenant, which demonstrates the fact that he discharged bis duties as a soldier with such coarage and fidelity as to gain the confidence and respect of his a<iociates. I sometimes think we have too much of our praise for the tombstone. That being the case, I am going to My, by way of commenda tion, iast what I have said of the de- j ceased preyiong to his death, for I do; not believe in fnUome eulogy. I trnly believe the sabjcct of this sketch aflords ample opportunity for commendable expressions. While I vas in Winnsboro inquiries that were made about his death and expressions of regret by bis comrades-in-arms impressed me with the fact that he must have been held in as high esteem by his associates in the war between the States as he has been held by his neighbors and friends in the quiet, peaceful aro cation of larming. Mr. Coleman belosged to a family of eight children, four boys and four girls, Mrs. Hunter, of Powder Springs, Ga., is the only one that survives. Oar friend was a consultant member of the Univer?ali8t Church. As in teaporal affairs h? was eminently practical; so was be in spiritual affairs. He believed tbat faith without works was dead, and that trne Christianity con* siste not only in believing but alse in1 doing. It was obedieuee to this con- i viction that led him to encourage the friendless, to lend & band to the laiien, and to help the poor and unfortunate. Many are now living who can testify to bis kindness ia all thes3 ways. Tbe writer once heard the deceased say that be had often wondered why men who owned large landed estates, and had only one or two children, did not cut up their land into fifty and seventy-five-acte lots and sell it to poor, industrious and deserving young men, and take a mortgage on it for payment of the money. He said it would encourage them and make them permanent citizens. He practiced that disposition to tbe extent of bis ability. Had he been as bountifully supplied with this world's goods as he was with & liberal and benevolent disposition he would have been the benefactor of his community. He 100k quite an interest in young people and tnea to stimuiaie in * them a disposition to cnltivate habits of industry, perseverance, s'tlfreliance and integrity, coupled with that sincerity of purpose tbat never fails to command the respect and admiration of their associate*. Another characteristic of our Iriend and relative was his good judgment. Uottbat foolish jadgment tb it often leads erratic minas to illogical and unwise conclusions, that make* some men cling to the wrong for consistency's sake, but he possessed that better jadgment which one is charged with the responsibilities of citizenship to assume without flinching the full measure of his duties, and to rely on and act on bis own jadgment and convictions when they they ha<-e once been honestly formed. While > life and character of our departed j ! may na incr crtntvro of nridfi to i.i. family and friends, and may famish a* the? do an inspiration and an example to the honest and inspiring youth of our country, the great comolation now that he is gone lies iu the conviction that he was earnest and conscientious in the discharge of every duty, and that he was. an earnest and"honest Christian. Other than this no higher encomium can any man wish. While the sun was fast sinking beneath the western horizon and the shadows were fast falling to the east, our friend obeyed the summons for which wb are all waiting. Thus ended a life well spent, a life worth living. If the virtues of universal good will is a characteristic of the Christian reli gion then we may safely say our mena has not lived in rain and has been rewarded for his good deeds; and to-day sleeps with his Fathers amid a glorioms immortality. Oar departed friend's remains were followed to their last resting place by a large eencourse of sorrowing relatives and friends and interred in the family burial ground where lie the remains of the first Coleman that came to this country. The funeral services were conducted by Iter. D. B. Clayton, assisted by Rev. Mr. Sadler. "We tender our sympathies to the bereaved family. Robi. R. Jeffares. Mav 18. 1898.

It seems like our friend, Maj. T. W. Woodward, would like to ran down oar militia if hs bad brains enough to do it. I want him to understand that onr company never wore any second-handed clothes, for they were offered to us, and we would not accept them and the Jackson Creek company took them aud I expect that some of them.have got as mnch grit in them as yon or any ether anti like you. I don't mean to step on the anti*' toes for I have some good anti friends as I bave Tillmanites and they have as much grit in them, but i I don't say you have got it. You j spoke abont your war rccord. I don't think you ought to count yeur war recerd much, for voa went in as a Major and came out as one. I snp pose you count the time you were boiling .salt down on the coast of South Carolina. You went to Drainesville, Va., and gor a brier scratch on your thigh and yoa came home, and the next thing was heard of yon you were boiling salt on the coaot of South Carolina. You boiled more salt in the last war than you burnt powder by a long ways. a You spoke about Darlingtou. The militia was not ordered to butcher our brethren, a3 you call them. They were ordered there to keep down a difficulty. The reason the Winnsboro j company did not go I expect they *rere like you, did not have the grit to go, and your friend, the "Dispassionate Ke&aer," U8 IS aa aim a kuuyt uvixi the Tray he talks; he ain't any better than Maj. T. W. Woodward is. He was afraid to sign his name for fear people would laugh at him. for being so simple. I don't blame him either. T. W. "Woodward spoke about "we old politicians." I think his politicians are about played out. I don't believe he could gets trial justice's office now, for I wouldn't vote for him to try a dog fight, for he would not give tbem justice. So will bid you ?iood-bye. Private of the G. B. R. MAJ. WOODWARD REPLIES. Mr. Editor: Whoever assumes a fictitious name to a:sail a man in his personal capacity publiihes himself as a cowardly, mangy cur, who having in advance, made up his mind to tell lies, conceals his name not only from fear of detection but because he knows that it i? synonymtas with, and sugof. fjlth and iafamr. fie is on? of those fellows who would rob a hen roost o;* steal a sheep, or slip the batter from a blind nigger's bread and then shoot from ambush any sgenceel unsuspecting wayfarer on the highway whom he snspicioncd of baring knowledge of the faet and might disclose it. Such are my thoughts, and I know all the views of every gentleman in the county who has read the communication of "Private G. B. R." in a late issue. To begin with, I don't believe this article was written by a Greenbrier boy, for I kDOw tho3e people. I am the father of that club, it may be that i I have had some undutiful children? land I ihink I have?bat if they can j stand the reflection I will put up with the fact and bear -Ibem no ill-will. One thing I will say for ?bem, they *re neither liars nor cowards, like | this smart Aleck. I believe they will say this much for me, that I have ! never given ccaDsel which had they followed it would have left them in worse condition than they are today, nor is there one of them who hasn't been the recipient of personal kindness at my hand. Theykeow that I had ?ometbing to do with the shaping of its course in the days of its greatest glory, when it was known as the oldest and best club in the county, when it rode on the right of the Hampton columns, in which were many, other worthy and gallant competitors for the honor. No, sir: they have not forgotten this and until they do I will never lose the confidence and respect of those whom it would be desirable t? retain. If this scrub belongs to Greenbrier he must be of an edition which was issued about the last of^ca time and I will guarantee he carried his rifle to the election to kill a gentleman. Give 3 our name please, I wish to see if I am correct. Again, it isn't fair for a fellow who prides bimselt on his "grit" to sneak into :he brush and challenge his antagonist to show his "grit" by follow- j inghim. In my hunting experience 1 once ran into an ambush when my dogs had bayed something., and I learned a lesson of wisdom which will serve; me on this occasion. "You may break, yon may scatter the vase if you will, Bat the scent of that pclc cat hangs s.round still." Anonymous writers really do injustice to themselves. When a reader seeB personal abuse not signed, he, of course, knows that the author is a cowardly blackguard, but the question arises why is he cowardly? Is it because ho is a blo? on the bodv politic, and bis people have been scabs on the back of the comity for perhaps two or three generations and he is afraid to disclose bis name for fear.flre will be openod all alon? the line! Or is he only some poor, Miserable, God-forsaken nuts without brains or character living ou some Antis bread and trying to play 6<nart Aleck, because lis heard Mass Ben say something of the kind and ihoaght it fanny? These are questions thet naturally agitate the public mind. I advise you therefore to quit this foolishness, there are tnany other occupations that will suit you better. You ain't built for handling a, goose quill, your illiteracy crops out in every line, t' ue your blaekguardism and venom arc all right, but your want of education spoils even these. I'm sorry to talk so to yon sonny, bnt. this must be your first effort, and I want to break you trotn sacking egos at once. I wish to reiterate, I have no ill feelings against tbe militi* nor have 3 accused them of cowardice in m\r arfif](>?! on fhft contrary I think them as good aud a* gallant boys as can bs found anywher.}.

Tne descendants of such sires never make cowards. I was mortiti;d, and am yst, that 100 companies were raised for Darlington "to put down a difficulty" there, whilst it seem3 we cannot raise a dozen to pnt down a "difficulty5' in Cuba. But I never blamed the rank and fiie, for I knew it was the result of tho training you had had from headquarters, and I wished to open your eyes so you might ?ec yourselves as others saw you.

Whether or not * it is always lookf?3 lorward to with ' such pleasure, this year it certainly ' afforded the girls a sufficient subject 1 for delightful anticipation. Few of 1 us failed to give our calendars due 5 attention for some little time previous ^ fn 13th nf Mn\-. fnr was nr?t thaf\ i * the date of Winthrop's birthday, tli2 date of our annual holiday and th? : time put aside for the customary trip? ' I This year there was some discusiioa i as to where we should go. It was 1 decided by a vole of the majority that we should spend the day at Davidson College. President Jobnso i 'uaviag acccpted tbe invitation which had bee? received from the faculty and students of that college there was no farther donbt on the subjsct. David- 1 son, then, became the thought upper- ( ir.ost in ererr mind. Tfie 13 dawned bright and ?lear. J We can say with little doubt that the rising beli on this particular morning found but few sleepers, despite vhe ' fact that it rang a little earlier tiiau 1 usual. At eight o'clock we went in a body j ( to the Southern depot. Our special train was awaiting us. The five 1 coaches were soon nueu, lor besides j < two hundred and fifty of our girls, j there were about twenty-live of our j, tea?her?, thirty or tbirty-flve high |' school boys, aud a few of ths towu j people who were to go oa the trip. Soon we all had comfortable seats and : before long.we had left Rock Hill and , were well on our journey. It is needless to *ay each one of ns wore a bright heart aud bright face suited to the occasion. When we rcached Charlotte (here j was quite n crowd at the depot. The . curious spectators were greeted with . the announcement: "Re, Re, Re! ; Ric, Ric, Ric! Wiuthrop On a big picnic! ( Thi? being the special yell for the . day. j When we arrived at Davidson we were welcomed at the station by the . faculty and students of the college and escorted at once to the college grounds. The senior were distinguished by i their costume of the "cap and gown," j. and looked Quite dignified, navinsr I abont ihein that air~of importance j characteristic of seniors^ But we mean nojreflection ou thero, for they Jiave a-right to feel proud whsn they look back upon their hard labour as ' something of the past, wheu they ore ] reminded th?y will 50011 say good-bye to the drnigtry of school life, it is no ; wonder that they feel proud! Bat we 1 are deviating somewhat from our subject. Upon reaching the college 1 ground we dispersed in every direc- 1 tion. It would be hard to tell of the 1 various pleasures of the day. The Davidson boys did everything to contribute to tin comfort and enjoyraent 1 of their guests. Your correspondent 1 will have 10 leave yo* to gecss how the different girls spent the day. She ' will speafc of her particular party 1 We visited the library, society halis, 3 fraternity parlors, chappel, commencc- > ment kalis, many of the class-rooms? ] in fact every place of interest. The buildings are old and have j about them that grand old air wbish ' only time and asre can give. Upon noticing fresh paint it was gaatifying to hear that the painters brush had : been busy "just on account of the 1 Winthrop girls," and it should be 1 pardoned if each one of us bad on for [ that one day, something like the im- ' por.'ant"senior air.! The library is magnificent, and from * the well filled shelves, books of every 1 description can be found. Besides the * bopks, there are many curious and ' among the collection the mineralogist ! and geologist may find things of iute- 1 ['rest. The society halls are beautifully furnished, and no doubt, are the ^ scene of much good work. In one of 1 the halls is a large and handsome } ehaudalier which came froin* l'aris. * According to tradition, Napoleon J Bonaparte was married under it. Whether or not this chandalier was { the one under which Napoleon pledged ' his nuptial vows, it no doubt owes ! some historv?at least, it can boast ot ] autiqntty. Its frame is immense, and . it is weighted down with crystals; it 7 must look beautiful at nighr when lighted by candles. We visited the capold, and from th?re enjayed. a fine view of the beautiful oid campus. The campus is 1 iadeed beautifal; the handsome trees, c the pretty green grass and clover, the 1 well laid off walks and drives present i to the eye an enchanting scene. The 1 campas is claimed to be the most c beautiful in the south and it would c seem that it is entitled to such claims. = At 011s o'clock the gong was sounded t for dinner Of course it was prompt] v ' responded to. A large number of ? tables hat. ^een arranged in the jrym- a nasium hah, and it was there the least s was spread. We bad taken our lunch cio the baggage car, and when it had f come from the depot a number of the ' ladies set to work and arranged it very nicely on the tables. Each person had a trav of bread, meats, pickleand cake; besides, there was a tray of strawberries tor every two. After j the blessing, which was pronounced 3 by President Shearer, raanv of us took r oar lunch to en) >y it in the open air. After dinner we fouid pleasure in strolling aron?d the grounds, si'.tinjr " under td?Ci-ol shade of the ncautifnl c trees, or amusing ourselves at will. ?
