EHE DELAY. I
As wo bare repeatedly remarked
there has been a great deal of adverse
criticism of the administration in cot
striking sharp and decisive blows, and
end this war. It has been suggested
ia many quarters that Pre>ident Mc
Xinley and bis Republican advisers
and backers want ika war prolonged
until after the November elections.
We trust that there is n:> real foundatiem
for this suspicion. We would
dislike very much to beliere that a
man could be elected President who
would stoop to such a low motive.
Whatever may be said of same of 1
President McKinley's political friends,
we cannot think that he is consciously
prolonging the war?-putting the people
te so much expense merely that R pub- j
liCan Congressmen may be returned.
' The New York World gives a good
summary of the "kind-hearted" war.
The war was declared on 21st day of
April. The navy was ready for action
in a week. On the 22nd April a
scheme to feed the recoacentrad s was
adopted, and the blockade of Havana
to starve the Spaniards wa3 adopted.
The feeding scheme was abandoned
because the food was used by the Spanish.
On the 23rd a call was made for
125,000 volunteers. On the 24th Spain
declared war. O* the 25th Congress
declared war. Practically nothing was
done during the rest of the month of
a n.;i

TTT WPHnvFa T* DEMAND.
The suggestion of a "Subscriber'-*
that Mittord wants a telephone line is
about what we hare anticipated. We
hare repeatedly said that the day
would soon .come, when the whole
county woald be a net work ef wires.
Comatry neig-hberhoeis will be
bre*?it iste eloser caamaaieation
with each ether aa# wiUi the count?
seat. These airast^es are so obvioas
that it is net rieceasary to men
tioi them here.
We hope that a "S&b-sriber" will
soon see hie desire for a telephone
rtalizsd. Messrs. Wylie and Johnston
can doubtless five him some
information Oar eolnmns are open
to anything of valae on the subject.
By the people liYing along the line
"chipping in," is seems to ng that the
line could be bnilt witheut much cost
to any one person. 2ft w that Mitford
bai got "the telephone fersr," are
there not some other eemmanitics
about to catch it? What about Feasterville?
Longtown? Montieello? Albion
and others?
Manih has fallen, and the indi- '
cations are that Santiaso will soon !
fall into oar banc's.
The fall of Santiago, coarse, will
mean the surrender of Admiral Cer era.
The Spaaish fieet will then be- (
come the property of the American* ,
unltss Cenrera blows them ap to pre- ,
yent their falling into the possession
of Sampson and Schley. The forts at j
Santiago are in rains; the enemy's ,
fleet is bottled in the harbor, and now ]
troops are being ^landed. The fall of !
the city seems inevitable,. * *

WitHont any intebfion of alarmiog
:he naniher of fires-thafh-ive happened
in the last fejr days is becoming a|
rery serioui matter. It is true mn
Lhe loss has been small, but the danger
is that it aaay become Mere scrions.
The general opinion seems to be that
two of the la^t fires were incendiary,
[f the chickenhonse ia Miss Fripp's
yard was set oa fire by some person
or persons, it was a clear ease ef
arson, and upas conr':etion by a jery,
without qualifying their verdict by a
recommendation to mercy, 'the criminals
wonld hare to suffer death by
hanging, or if recommended to mercy
then imprisonment for a period not
less than ten years. An arrest with
BHfficient evidence to convict, and a
hanging or a long term in the State
penitentiary would tend to end ihej
work of the incendiary.
The nnmber of newspaper generals
in the Uniied States is something astonishing.
They all kn?w exastly
h?w to teke possession of Cuba, and
in fact to carry on a campaign to wipe
ont tbe whole Spanish nation and that
too in a few day*. It is generally
those who stay at home, who know
how to eqaip and prepare an army
and how to command it. What a
great pity all the competent military

UJiiUCiO ?I*mj av uvuwv*
At the present rate of arming, uniforming
and equipping tbe volunteer
army, these soldiers will not be^ready
to go to Cnba until next fall. In a
short time the rainy season will have
began, and then the troops can not go
even though tbey arc prepared.
"A v?ter" expresses his views.
Mr. Editor: It is about time for the
eandidate ?o come around sailing, and
promises thay cannot keep are not
thought of. .
A politician is something like tbe
Irishman's fta. I used to think that
there was much in plat fores and politicians.'
speeches, bat lately I have
come to the conclusion that the only
use made of them is to get in on. The
Lord knows we need some relief and
reform bat not the^kind we have had
8?ee 11190. Reform has- mais taxes
from or 10 mi!is t? 14 aid 15 mills
kigher, at a tims wkssi pe?pi? were'
never Ites able t? pay a small
from 1350 to a few manth* back. The
Qjtrchasing power of money baa btea
ftt greater than from 1890 to 1SS0, and
still more and more nuncsy is drawn
from the people in taxation. Almost
every article of supplies Hied by the
Government, County and State, from
&u lUKbiauu up no* uc?u wiupared
with years before? Bre.id and
moat to feed the poor, clothes and
ether things were never so cheap.
Hired help was Bever so cheap.
Why, then, cannot taxes be reduced?
Taxes are easily paid by prosperous
business people, especially the speculative
chap, bet you find that there
are many whom taxes are almost depriviag
of daily bread. Many poor
men and widows in Fairfield County
who have to lien their crops or assign
their rent to raise money for taxe3.
Should anybody wonder at the in
creased taxationl?ook at toe appropriations;
look at the amount of
money used and paid in tbe various
courts on account of prolonged litigation-to
protect the guilty and to keep
people from payingtheir bonest debts.
We will take one case io our own
County of Fairfield?the murder of
James Suber, one of Fairfield's best
men and an honest Christian gentleman
murdered by an unprincipled
vagabond. This caae has been tried
twice, and twice has tne defendant
been found cuilty by honest jurors,
and as often carried to tbe highest
court. That does not only stay justice
and leads to the liberation of the
guilty, but it tost? the taxpayers lots
of money. This case has already cost
Fairfield County $1,400, more than
fourteen hundred worthless murderers
are worth. We do aot want to liaag
the guiltless, but hang the guilty as
nni^Hv as nnnaihla. and do not charge
up the protection of tha guilt -gainst
the taxpayers. A little politic ~m this
line might help. Small approp.i^iions,
lets legislation,and as representatives
select men who will use the public
money economically. Men extravagant
and risky in their own business
will be far more so in the people's
business. Select men who do not
want to ride from the place of a representative
to Governor at the expense
of tbe taxpayers. Find men in tonch
with the common interests of the
county, men that will do everything in
their power to lessen public expenses,
and who will not pander-to the will
of men in higher offices, and who do
not have to consult their political
bosses before they can cast an honest
vote.
The party lash has been taken off,
t? Mid, then let good mea woie to
the front and fier their services for
the various offices. Tke ofltes arc
within the gift of the people, tai let
the people have good material firem
which to select. Hami around yoar
offices; a second relief is waiting. It
is hard to give cp a goed thicg, and
an officeholder most be a good thing,
for they do not seem w illing to rotate.
Let men stop talking and abasing;
Tillmanism and salt making. There
is no scarcity of salt, but a heavy demand
for powder burping inst now.

it U the Same Fight Ovet. . -J
Wc clip the followiag from oas of ,
our well known weeklies:
A. C. Jonas, chairman of the State ;
prohibition executive Mmnittee, has
writtea a letter to several newspapers
declaring that the reversal of Jadge
Siwonton's decision does sot affect the
?T.rtVi;hif?nniafft ? t.hft
p'JIiliUU Ui tUC jvivutviuwwi*.- ...
campaign. We quote from Mr. Joaes'
letter: <
I anticipated the decision in the
statement mad? several weeks a*o, '
wteu I said, "That it was the old fight
of 1892 over seain," except while at
that time it was against the saloen,
UBder the old bar room syst?m, how ,
it Is against the dispensary, with its
beer privilege*, hotel privileges, the
original package stores and blind
l:iger?, which have arprung up with the
dispensary system. The oalv effect of
the decision is to close the original
Dackase stores and remove thQm from
the field as competitors of. the dispensary,
bat it gives individ?als the ri^bt
to order a* much as they please for
personal use froaa outside the State,
without the interference of the law
under which the dispensary is operated.
The faets still remain that in 1892
the people of the State, without regard
to factiou, presentedfan appeal to the
Democratic* party to be permitted to
rote apon the questio* of prohibition
with the view of making it a State
law. Permission was given, and the
party pledged itself, if a majority of
the voters voting at that election voted
for prohibition, that th* party would
pass a prohibition law. They failed
to redeem that pledge and the same
people came again to the Democratic
Daitv askimr them to give them a leg
islat'nre that will carry oat their wishes
and an administration to enferee it.
The moral principle is still the same.
The dispensary is a whiskey measure,
not a prohibition measure.
Mr. Jones has clearly and tersely
stated the ease of prohibitioaists.
Wha1-. he says of the vote of 1892 is
history. Not one word of it can be
con fated. The issue was made in
1892 and voted upon in the Democratic
party at the polls. Prohibition won
aod prohibition was robbed of the
fruits of victory by somebody's defiance
of party coinmrnds and somebody's
violation of party faith. It is
this year, from the standpoint of all
those who oppose the sale of whiskey.
the same fight orer.
Yes, it is the same fi^ht over against
the maklug and the sale of intoxicating
liquor* in tbe State by whcaiso ver
done?blind tigers, blockade or
by the State dispsnf&ry. And yet
forsooth heoaase the prohiiili^aisfcs
with to he keard agaia at the ballot
hex, tke aivoeatos ef the dispessary

that tie prohibitioaiets are in league
with "the whiskey men." Bat sorely
i if we were io leasee with "Ihe whis
key &ea" we woald be in ieejae with
the,?ttspan*ary, for the dispensary has
the monopoly of the whiskey batiaess
ia South Caroliaa.
"Oh! coasisteBey, thoa art a jewel."
If these friends of t?e dieoeasary
mesa that the prohibitionists are ia
league with those "who were engaged
in selling whiskey betore we had tbe
dispensary, then we would ask, wkere
are the people of sueh an alliance?
Have tbe prohibitionists been courting
! the favor ?f these men? Ifas this
clasis of eitiztns prominent in tbe prohibition
convention in Columbia? and
were these the men that were nominated
fer ofise on the prohibition
ticket?
But you have heard former bar
\
reodi keepers Fay they would vote the
prohibition ticket. Does that prore
I sueh alliaace? They are free citizens
to vole at they choose; just as other
men. If they chooae to vote the pr?|
hibition ticket we shall be glad to have
' * - * * ? -3 I- -
mem ao so, jasi as we bdouiu uc ^iau
to hjive those who have heretofore
! faveied the dispensary, or anybody
I else, vote with as.
Many of those adiieted to the use of
j whiskey voted for prohibition iu 1892,
j and yet had a dispensary stuck right
j under their notes, and thus were iivited
to pursue their downward course.
"Wee unto him that giyeth his
neighbor drink, ikat puttest thy bottle
I to him, andmakest bim drunken also."

We should be gkd to have those
templed by strong driok to vote with
us that we may help them to move
temptation from their path. Yes, we
should be glad to have everybody vote
with us, for we feel we are engaged
in a righteous cause. h. k. e.

all-ab?rbiag lubfect, as <ha drought
is becoming serious y.
There is iko ' ^nfurrh in this 6ection
of rhe OMni'n uiau all other diseases
pit together, and until the last few
years was supposed te be incurable.
For a great ma?y years doctors pronounced
it a local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven eatarrh to be a eonstitutional
disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,' is ihe
only constitutional cure on the market.
It 5a taken internally in d03es from 10
drops to a teaspoonfal. It i*cU directly
oa the blood and mn?oas surfaces of
the system. They offer cue hundred
dollars for any case it fails to enre.
