invasion of Cabs can be made is considered,
it ought to surprise nobody
that it takes a long time to raise and
equip a hundred and twenty five
thousand soidiers. 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

wholly unnecessary now to state the

hundred conveniences in one's home,
every one now knows the value of
water works. By haviDg water

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.

The Netf Yor? World calls the
board of strateey "the debating society"
at Washington. It i$ reported
that President ifcKinlev is getting
tired of its proeeediDgs, and will
abolish the board. It debates too
much. It is argued, with some torce
too, that a good general in the field or
a good naval officer on our ships will
know better what to do than a set of
men several thousand miles away
from the scene of conflict
Lieut. Totten thinks that according
to Bibiical prophecy Russia will
be brought into war with England
and that the United States will be
mixed up in it, and that the final great
battle will be fought in Paligtine.

JOHN A. F. 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.

Mr. Editor: Please allow me space
in youi* columns for a few words in
favor of our militia. 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.

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.}. I am
sure I will never r?r?et~tbat the conscript

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

We are told that Winthrop's birthday
is always looked forwaid to by =
the Winthrep girls. 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. ?
At half-past three, we left for the I :

War is all the talk bow. When a
ir?wd assembles the topic of conversation
is the SpftEish-Am?ri?an war.
Fhis is true througboat Jforth C?ro-'
lina, at l*a?t. Around the bnlleti>
boards many fnnny tbings are said.
The lying squadron seems to give
more genuine trouble thsn any other
nachinc of war. Many people have
iot ?he remotest idea as to what the
lying squadron is.
A fairly good looking fellow of
spper ?os"th Carolina said in talking a
few days ago:
"Well, I don't care much aboat this
:ussed.wur. I hare no kiafolks or
friends to be concerned about. In
fact, 1 don't know anybody that is
roing. Bat I am afraid of that darxed
lying squadron. I can't sleep at night
for thinking about it. There is no
:elling where that thing is going to
light.
Another said :
"I am not a-caring whether T plain
xny corn or not. Jusl, about the time
it would get up that there living squadron
from up here in Ferginia would
jome down and destry it. I have
searn telJ of that bug before."
There are several Smart Alecks in
jvery town. They lov? to inform the
rubber-necks regardless of their own
superb ignorance. I heard ouc of
h??c fellows cursing McKinley out
he other day for not having better
iudsrment. Here is what be said: "In
:be first '"VTvnley had no business
sanding me Maine down to Cnba.
But now he is going to send the Ultinatum
down there to get', her blown
lp, and have a lot more of our meu
rilled." As he finished ihis the crowd
stood gapping- lor more just use u.
Some days aso a bulletin came to
his- effect: "Gladstone is sinking.''
\ fellow brim full of patriotism came
ip and on readinsr on the butletiu
>oai'd the above sad news said:
* What a pity! One of our best ships

When war was first declared, we
advised our farmers to plant all of the
food products that they could, and
plant very little cotton. We warned
then that the war might last much
longer than was then anticipated.
From the present ontlook, the war
wili not be over in six months, and
may run along for a year or so.
The United States had a standing
army [of about 25,000, but this is
