WHY THE CALL?
President HcKinley has made a
second call for volunteers. This time
the call is 'for 75,000, aod it is addressed
to the citizens, and not to the
malitia exclusively. It is a matter of
conjecture to attempt to explain why
the President did not say in the call
that he preferred the State militiamen
as he did in his first call. Possibly he
wanted to give the citizens a chance,
aw nrA>mh!T7 tft<? rrmlitia. has nnf to
w i L/i wawij vuv .v
s
sponded as promptly as the President
desired. In nearly all of the States
the militia has been slow in responding.
In many instances they hare
kicked becanse the companies were
not acccpted as organized. As a
matter of fact, however, the malltia
has bad to recruit from the private
citizens to attain the required number
to form companies, and so while we
speak of the militia as having volun
teered, tbe militia reauy iom us cubtiact
character by tbe addition of
new men. In some companies tbeae
additions were greater than tbe original
company.
Another question which is mach
JLJ0 discussed jast now is why tbe call
was made at ail. We heard of one
man who offered as an explanation,
that the Spanish fleet' had whipped
SampsoB and the Goverimeni was
suppressing the information. This
?' might explain a big order for tbe
bailding of battle ship, but it certainly
would not explain a call for infantry.
Besides the Spanish fleet cannot whip
Sampson'* fleet. The Spanish fleet i?
dodging, and doesn't want to fight.
We are inclinod to aceept the explanation
made by the New York
World, and that is that the President
oejievee me war win mbL a juug time.
This ^seems to be the opinion at
Washington, and in view of the many
|t delays made Ibis opinion seems well
founded.
The World and many of the leading
newspapers of the country are criticising
the President's policy of delay
in striking a decisive blow. In this
eonnection, it may be mentioned, that
only a few days ago it was^stated that
Mr. McKinley was in lavor of an
active, energetic and vigorous policy
" KJo tri tfAi* to
OUUU *9 *?qv* .
preparing for war, bat that his adL
. visers were holding him back. When
this war was first declared, we advised
onr people to prepare themSfomm
selves for a war to last at least a year,
Wp ? : and we connseled oar farmers to plant
Mr all the food products possiole.
fjtp The World gives some good reasons
for thinking that the Washington authorities
expect a long war. The
World deda?es its conclusion from
the f ollowing facts:
| The first plan was to feed the reconcentrados
on a gigantic plan. This
was [abandoned and again suggested
and after much talk and delay a
policy of peaceful olockade was begun.
Then there was a great deal said aboa'
- - *? - -.mi J. j i
a land invasion, ic is suu uiscusscu,
; and day after day has been aprvf
pointed, or announced, when troops
|wonld be landed in Cnba.
^ Schley was held at Hampton roads
nntil the country became impatient
for him to be ordered to move.
A.^ain much was said abont the
' Cape Yerd Fleet, that it must not be
allowed to come West. It has come,
it is now scid, to be at Santiago, Cuba.
It is supposed to be bottled in the harboi
of Santiago by Sampson and Schley.
The American fleet consists of sixty
vessels of all kinds, the Spanish only
seven. It seems that Sampson and
_
Schley have to stand still, and merely
starve the Spanish fleet, -which will
need coal. This means delay.
The expedition to reinforce Dewey
at Manila has been delayed entirely
too long. It?is now reperted that a
sail has been made.
These facts show the slow progress
of ending the war. The rainy season
will soon start in Cuba, and from
y> hat we have read of these rains and
heard eye-witnesses say, we do not
see how battles could be fought
during the rainy season.
,
Kg. >
Some time ago we suggested that
the names of all th06e who bad volunteered
from this county be sent to tis
with the view of publishing them.
Air. JenDings this morning makes a
better suggestion. He offers to place
a;book iu' his office, and record the
names of all Fairfield volunteer*.
We hope the relatives of volunteers
from Fairfield will send the names at
once. Mr. Jenning's book u.ay become
very valuable at some fntnre time.
These volunteers are assisting in
makinsr history. It will be much
y easier to obtain their names now than
it will be twenty or even ten years
from now.
Politics ought to have nothing
whatever to do with the appointment
of military officers. Whoever may
have been a man's father, however
great his father may have been as a
military mau, uowerer siroug msv uc
the political inflaence of a man, these
things do not fit a man to take charge
of troops. It requires training to lead
successfully in battle.
Speed is what our fleet needf. In
guns they are superior to Spain's, but
Spain's can run the fastest. Hence
Sampson cant catch the Spanish fleet.
Everybody is looking for a battle,
and of course aDjr report about a
battle is gi?en credence.

A. gentletuan has siijr^ested to as
that We send every correspondent to
Cuba who enters the controversy now
in pro?te.*?. We haven'; the power
to do this, bat unless the discussion
ends pretty soon the matter win be
laid before President McKinley.
Seriously, the discussion ^is being too
much prolonged. Soath Carolina has
about made np her quota, and the
question, as from which county the
volunteers should come or what cotn!
panies should volunteer, is do longer
pertinent. Like most controversies of
of the kiad it has become very personal,
! aud, therefore, as far as the public is
concerned unprofitable. We have already
allowed each side considerable
latitude, and we ask that the* will
end the matter.
In many quarters the President is
being very severely criticised for appointing
to high rank in the army
"Nobodies, the Sons of Somebodies."
It is charged that "a letter from
father," if father is a Senator or a
millionaire, is sufficient to proenre a
rank in the army that would take
about fifteen or twenty years to obtain
through the regular channel of promotion.

Since our last report our community

the sod where we can never behold
their bright faces again on earth, some
of which has not been reported to your
paper. Among them were Mrs.
Orrie E. Gibson, wife of Rossa Gibson,
who died in Columbia from heart
affection on the 27th of April. She
had been in bad health for some time
previous to that, but was thought to
be improving somewhat. She was a
daughter of Dr. T. B. McKinstry, who
was en a visit to her when she died.
?a
ODe was up ana cueenui m ciocu
o'clock that night, and next morning
at 5 o'clock she was found dead. Sbo
seems to have died without a straggle.
Her remains were brought up and
deposited in the cematery at Bethel
Church. She left a husband and fire
children to mourn her loss?one an
infant about two months old, whiah
has died since and buried by the side
of her mother. Sad indeed for two
to be snatched from tbe family circle
in so short a time.
Mrs. James Mann, au aged lady has 1
also been called from labor to rest
under the shades beyond tbe river.
She was followed by her husband, ;
Capt. James Mann, in a very short
time. His remains were 2aid to rest
beside that of his wife in the cemetery
at Bethel Cborcb, and not at Horeb as
reported.
Thns-our old citizens are last passing
away, very few of that generation
now living.
There has been more burials at
Bethel Church in tbo last few months
than has been in several years past.

A SCHOOL PICNIC AND SPELLING '
BEE.; ]
Your correspondent recently had 1
the pleasure of attending a very ;
pleasant school picnic given by the ?
Brosfcyville Institute school. This J
school for the past 5 ear has been (
under the efficient management of 1
Miss Engenia Douglass of New Hope. 1
The morning threatened a downpour
of rain, yet, notwithstanding, a good j
crowd collected. As if impressed by 1
the determination of the public to *
have a picnic the weather cleared up [
ml flav was a beautiful one. ,
* " V
The surrounding schools were well" j
represented. A numbef of them sent \
large denegations of scholars by 1
wagon loads, while there were perhaps ^
ten teachers on (he grounds. i
It bad been advertised that the s
chief attraction of the day would be a 1
spelling match between the picked |
spellers of Miss Witherspoou's and f
Miss Douglass' schools?Miss Doug- 1
lass' school having given the challenge.
To the great disappointment of all it
was found on reaching the grounds j
that the match had been called off on g
account of the inability of some of 8
Mist Witherspoon?a best spellers to be ^
present?one of them havfng been so ?
unfortunate as to hare an arm brokeu. 3
The crowd wag not to be disappointed, *
however, in the matter of a spelling 2
r*>of/?h in th? afternoon after an c
elegant cfiuner had beeaj 8?rT8d a J1
match was arranged from amoDg such
of the scholars of the school present
as would consent to spell. Rev. Mr.
Sadler called the words. The ontest
began with about eight to the side and
it was soon shown tkat although many
of the participants had not expected a
nAntoct nf fhie VinH vet thav were by
no maans unprepared. They showed
faithful Training and marked proficiency
in winding through the mazes
and twists of English orthography.
One by one, howerer, they dropped
from ranks until after & contest of
two boars and a half only two were
left standing?masters of the word
book. These were Miss Edua Castles
and Miss Maggie Harris, both of the
Crosbyville school. Their teucher has
a right to be proud of their effort as
they won and deserved tbe ?listinc
lion of beinj; very expert spellerstwo
of the beet "in the county no
doubt. The contest was much enjoyed
by the audience. Why not have more
of these contests at onr school picnics.
Tbev add life to the occasion, interest
the DUblic and stimulate tne pupils to
proficiency in a very dry and difficult
6tudy.
The ladies of Sale i served ice cream
on the ;?roands and realized quite a
nice sum.
Mios Douglass' school will run a
month or two longer. She is very
popular with both pupils and patrons.
In fact there teems to be a mutuai
satisfaction. Miss Donglass claims
to have the beat school in the county
while the patrons claim to have the
bast teacher. "Del'lume."

MA J. WOODWARD'S LAST.
"All are infected whom the infested
spy?
As all iooks yellow to thejamodiced
eye."
Hence it is, we look, and should look
more to a. writer's name and standing
than to bis words. He may be a raaa
of character, position and influence and
his statements wil! command attention
and respect, or he may be a narrowminded,
ignorant, bigoted fellow,
whose narrations are received cautiously
even in his neighborhood., and
whosu opinions are not worth the
paper on which it is written. In one
instance it U perhaps proper to notice
and correct any misstatements which
occur, in the other, it is often best to
pass with contempt slanders and abuses
slung promiscuously and maliciously
at you. Bv this rnle I had determined
not to notice a certain scurilous article
of recent date, for I knew no gentle- j
man seeing the signature would believe
it, but it reflects upon the Confederate
survivors of the county, and
as the militia is being so well taken
care of by its officers I will look after
them a moment.
Recently, a6 you know, I was elected
colonel of the survivors' regiment
in this couoty; this occurred in my
absenee, without my knowledge and
from no wish expressed upon my part,
although I do regard it the<erowniDg
honor of a life somewhat eventful,
aDd not whol!y destitute of fortmne's
smiles in this line. Bat I "flanked,
and left my regiment in Virginia and
went (o boiling salt on the coapt,"
consequently these gray-haired veterans,
these survivors of the grandest
army which has appeared in history,
have gone back upon their re?ord, and
deliberated chosen a? their chief a
man whose military career is sullied,
whose personal belongings ertn are
not good. This is what you have
don?, nothing more, nothing less?if
what this valiant militiaman says is

VIVAT SEMPER IN MEMORIAL!.
Sadly the night hawk chants his
requiem over, the flower bedecked
resting place of Ensign Bagly.
Mourning prevails throughout the
land and the countenance of all are
shrouded in tbe dark mantlf of regret.
Cut offin the prime of hi? inankood,
wnen lire who an us oopes ana. ambitions,
il8 sweetness and its raptures,
lay so promisingly before him, coupled
with the tragic manner of his exit from
this vale of tears, his sad death is
made all the more deplorable.
Bat, though he has '-passed over the
river" and is even now "resting Hiider
the shade of the tree3," he Kvee, and
shall never lie forgotten. We Remember
his as the erabodiement of
all that is good and noble physically,
morally, and mentaly. Bat we remember
him most of all .as the brave
and p&triotic young ensign who gave
up his life for humanity's cause.
It sickens one's soul to tbink of the
value of such a life as his as agaiast
tho whole hostile army.
His untimely death is a distinctive
loss to the entire nation, wbich is dark
with excess of grief, for the immortal
soul of ODe of its greatest heroes has
-been sent to its malaer. His death
blots the firmament of the American
navy of its brightest star, and robs as
of the best example of what onr
country can produce. He met bis
fate as becomelh an American and has
been ushered into the company o} the
angels, leaving ns desolate with hearts
wrung by unavailing anguish.
He hated tyranny, he hated oppression;
he loved the stars and stripes;
and for this he died?a martyr.
When bis body long shall hare
crumbled into the tongueless silence
of the dreamless dust, nis name will
live?a beacon light to bis eountryrnen;
and his life will be held np as ^
bright model for the inge?ons youths
of America, so that when, iu future,
the cause of his country may begin to
wane before the despotic harde, then
shall his name be the watchword which
shall strike terror to the Spanish tyrants
heart and nerve with redoubled
vigor his comrads' arms.
Our hearts, at this time, are much
ioo full to enter into a consideration or
the greatness of the loss which the
country his sustained in his premature
death; a death which onr human
eyes regard as premature because we
know that, had he lived, in whatever
position he should have been placed,
by the greatness of his talents, by the
weight of bis character, by the splendor
of his courage, he wonld have
rendered to his country tbc most essential
services.
His career was short, but it was
brilliant?like a bright meteor that
flames for a moment along the horizon
and then disappears. The Spanish
barde has triumphed over the fallen
Ensign of tho Winslow, ^but his fame
is immortal.

Atlanta Journal.
Whether the newspapers iu Spain
are really as ignorant as they pretend
to be concerning events and conditions
in this country, or are 1\ ing deliberately
in order to deceivc the masses of
4U . o A
tue opauiMj ye&pie is a. qaebiiuzi. v^crtain
it is, however, that even the leading
journals in Spain publish the wildest
and ino.-t absurd fabrications 5h
almost every article' about the war
that appears in their columns. S>me
specimens of their work in this line
mav. amuse eur readers.
El Impartial of Madrid, in t, receDt
issue says editorially:
"It is n fact well known to all European
staiesmeu tha: only bv' means of
armed forces stationed in tho late Conled^rate
States has ihe Washington
government bscn able 10 , reserve the
semblance of peace. E?en now tbe
new generation 0f the Confederacy is
but waiting for the word to revolt.
When war is declared General Lee,
who has been consul general at Havana,
and who wa? kicked out of Cuba
by Governor General Blanco, will rai-e

the same Lee who was general-in-cheif
of the civil w&r in isoO to leoo, and
whose surrender to General Lincoln in
the last named year broke the revolution.
His ac'S at Havana were for the
purpose of plunging the government
into war with the kingdom of Spain,
at which time he aud his followers
would rise against Seiior Mckindley '*
2s*ui i" he outdone b/ its competitor,
E! Heraldo, another prominent newspaper
in Spain, comes forward with
the followiug no less startling (dito
rial: I
"All tbe troops of the Yankess are
/
'in the far western part of" the county
many thousands of miles from rae
Atlaatic ecast. There are only a lew
thousand men, all told, and they are ill
paid and ill fed> and not willing to
fight, To ntiliie this force it will be
ueeessary to bring it to the eastern

by whieh it can be transported, and

1,000 feet high, near Labrador. At
last aceounts the bridge at this plao*
was in a yery dangerous conditio*. It
need surprise do one to hear that some
' agency had made it still more sc."
Neither of lhe papers, quoted is
ahead of ?1 Tempo, which asserts its
capacity in the foLlewing able ''special
from Havana":
" Word has just been reoeivad here
that the Indians are rising against the
Yankees in Illinois, Ohio and other
places. The farmers are petitioning
the government to protect them from
the blood-thirsty savages who are
barnine houses and killing on every
side Troops are asked for at Colorado,
in the state of Denver, and at
St. Louis (San Luis), ir. Missfpa.
News is brought to us that Buffalo
Bill, a notorious outlaw and the leader
of a band of half-bresds. has risen
against the American government and
Knminor dpip h?Q Tiirthnlar.ft

Prebably the richest contribution of
the lot is the following from El
Di&ria:
"It will no doubt surprise o*r readere
te learn that the Yankee president,
Magginly, is a naturalized Chinaman,
kaving been horn in Canton.''
El Pais describe oar country iu the
following graphic style: "The
country is not fit to lire in.
Theclima;# ia cxecrable. When it is
not sleeting or snowing the heat is
almost unbearable. Avalanches are
frequent at all times, and these threaten
the principal cities. As for the
people, besides the few whiter engaged
in business along the eastern shore, the
remainder of the country is one rast
plain covered with Indians, calJea
cowboys, and great herds of roaming
cattle."
Incredible as it may seem, these art
literal extract* from newspapers (?)
to which a large part of the people of
Spain look for information as to the
progress of the war and tho resources
of this country.
The wonder that leading Spanish
newspapers print ?ach stuff is lessened
when we learn how the popular leaders
In Spain talk.
General Correa, the minister of war,
said a few day3 ago:
"The war will not be confiued te
Cuba. What is to hinder us from
taking our army to the United States
some nigbt and invest the capital at

Bad management keeps more people
in poor circumstances than any other
one cause. To be successful one must
look ehe&ti and plan ahead so that
when a favorable opportunity presents
itself he is ready to taice advantage of
it. A little forethought vril| also save
mueh expense and valuable time. A
prudent and careful man will keep a
bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
aod Diarrhoea Remedy in the house',
the shiftless fellow will wait until
necessity compels it and then ruin his
be?t horse going for a doctor and have
a big doctor bill to pay, besides; one
pays out 25 cents, the other is out a
hundred dollars and then wonders
why bk neighbor is getti?g richer
while he is getting poerer. For sale

Waftoington, May 22.?The Palmetto
State will be well represented at the
commencement exercises of the law
dpartmentof Georgetown University,
which is to occur on June 6. Not only
has the institution as onc-yof its -able
infractors a native Sooth Carolinian,
but there are three young South Carolinian*
who receive their degree of
Bachelor ot Laws this session, aid
then South Carolina will furnish the
commeicement orator.
The committee on iuvitatioc, of
which Mr. Charles A. Douglass is a
member, have selected Hon. LeRoy F.
Youmans to deliver the annual oration.
The college is to be congratulated, for
Mr. Youmans has conveyed his acceptance,
and this event is beiag looked
forward to with much Interest. Mr.
Youmans' reputation fully sustains the
prediction that he will make an address
that will be long remembered, and
will, unquestionably, be a literary gem.
This genuine compliment to Columbia'
? Indeed, Soutk Carolina?is nndoubtedly
appreciated.
There was d pleasant and instructive
interlude in the course of the law students
of Georgetown several nights
ago, when Professor Douglass, instead
ot delivering his regular lecture, introduced
bis friend, Hou. James G.
McCants, of Winnsboro, 8. C., whose
fame as a poet, lawyer and orator extends
beyond his native State.
Mr. McCants was passing through
Washington, and accompanying Mr.
Douglass to the lecture kail, was given
the ,4rigbt ot way," so to speak. Mr.
Denglass, in a well rounded speeeh,
introduced his friend, who spoke to
the two tmscfrsd students on 'Tbe
Stoiy of tbe Law." His remarks
were rc?eiv#d witb dose attemioBo
broken *y applause. In other professions,
he said, success migbt be attained
by happy chance and fortuitous
circumstances, but in law no lasting
posiiion c*>uld be gaiued without many
years of continuous study and devotion
10 the Jaw. He concluded hi*
remarks Wjr advising the s;*Jents not
to look uut solely lor the lees, bat t?
endeavor to l*ok at their profession as
something higher than a means of
bread-winning-, and theu the fees
would urely jollows of ihe?selves.
Alter ivp'-aicd calls from the st?I
dsnts, l'r ro~-o.' Douglass followed
j Mr. McCatus, t.?d ike applause With
wbicli be was r?c ived was as much a |
tribute to his popularity witU His
clas-e.s a* to the wit and eloquence of
bis speech. As a companion pictute
to what his friend had said ab)Ut fees,
he urged that due regard should be
bad so as to strike a happy medium.

lawyer; if too much was charged, the
client would soon leave. Many lawyers
had become ministers, he said,
but he meant no levity when he said
that he had never heard of a minister
taming back and beceming a lawyer.
Each had his sphere of usefulness,
which, although they could not follow
without being paid, was yet something
which was as much beyond price as it
wai beyond praise.
Flashes of eloquence interspersed
bis speech, and the deafening applause
that followed its conclusion testified to
the manner in wbi?h it was r?oeiv?d.

last year for the purpose of resuming
ber work under his excellent instruction.

Now she goes forth from Winthrop's
walls a fair representative of Professor
Brown's ability as teacher.
On Friday evening, 30th in6t, Miss
Sleedly gave in the college auditoiium
ber recital for graduation. Sbe was
assisted by Mrs. "Wade R. Brown, who
, sang some beauliful selections. Mrs.

was repeatedly encored, bat much !o
the disappointment of the andience
she only responded to the encores by a
few sweet, modest bows and smiles.
The fair young artist looked beautiful
iu her graduating gown of pretty
white nroanrtr. She received a 2reat
number of lovely flVireis, which were
but poor expressions ot the hi^h app
