OUR ALLIES.
Mr. X. (jr. Gonzales' lettors in the
State are read with a great deal of ia-1
terest. He has won a reputatien for
a*cnrate statement. and what he says
of Gen. Gomez's army should have
great weight with tho?e who knew j
Air. Gonzales. His letters are valuable
to show the charaeterof the Cuban
army. Both Mr. Gonzales and Winthrop
Chandler testify that the officers
of Gomez's aray are culjured and
polished gentlemen. Now we have
the testimony of Gea. Lwton, whose
valuable services at Santiago cannot be
denied. He is an A.m?rican General,
and Ike position occupied by him at
Sai tiago fully flt? him to judge of the
character of the Cubans under Garcia.
He eays that Garcia's army came into
the American camp "as ragged sts
Falstaff's Gadshill force", but Gen.
Lawton adds that after the Americans
had clothed and fed them "you would
never know the clean, alert, ready man
of to-day, who bring* bis piece up
smartly to the ?alute as I pass, as the
ragged, halt-starved, wholly dirty
refngee who constituted the so-called
army under Garcia."
We have referred to this very trustworthy
testimony because there has
- i :n
oeen an apparent suucme uicmu^iu
some qnarter3 to minimize the services
of the Cubans and to craate the impiession
in this country that they were
, . not only cowards, but barbarians, It
wa?5 asserted that they refused to dig
trenches. It was asserted that some
of then maltreated Spanish prisoners
and that if they were permitted to
enter Santiago they trould plunder the
cilT stnd massacre tke inhabitants. If
\ |
tkey were kalf-starrei, feow ceujd they

labor? We tiink the Coba*s should
be given a trial, and not prejudged.
It ought not to be forgotten that 6ome
ef ?or own soldiers disgraced the
army in Charleston, that a citizen wag
brutally murdered by an American
soldier in Charleston, that American
soldiers looted a saloon in Tampa a
few days ago, that American soldiers
have been shot by fanners at Chicka
maoga for plundering pcach rcbards,
ana yet we would be indignant if the
world should say that our army was
composed of murderers and thieves.
The truth Is that there are toughs in
every army, and thousands of them
mav be foand in the American amy
as well as in the Cukan.
Whether Garcia wrote that letttr to
Shafter or not, if the facts stated are
true, the Cubans have jast ground to
complain. We have accepted the Cubans
a3 o?r allies. By a resolution of
their Government, they consented to
co-operate with the Americans, yet it
is said that Garcia, whoso army formed
part of the forces arrayed against the
city of Santiago, was not consulted as
to the terms of surrender, and more
than that was not even notified of the
actual fact of the surrender, nor was
be invited to take part in the formal
raising of the American flag. If these
things are true, then Gen. Sbafter has
^ a r?V\
UC(7M gUillJ U1 Sb vitavu V4 v?*unan
good manners, and we think that,
if tb? things stated are trne, tbe Cubans
have jist grounds to feel offended.
Spanish officsrs of Santiago are left
in control. This eertainly is anomolous
to leave y?ar enemy in control of
tbe administration of justice, especially
when the war was begun on the
ground that the rule of your enemy
was tyraanicai and even barbarous..

and pillage the city and commit murder,
if they are allowed to enter. We
hare aceused the Spaniards of sucli
things. If we can not control the
Cubans, how can we trust and control
he Spaniards? An official explanation
is in order.
Spain is now beginning to realize
the utter hopelessness of continuing!
the war* A ^reat deai ?f peace talk
has been joiag on for some tiwe, and
through the French Ambassador Spain

as to the terms ot peace. SpaiD
has lost her navy, her land forces
Won in p.vsrv ensrasre
ment up to the present time, and she
has practically lost the Philippines,
Cuba and Porto Rica. It seems conceded
that the United States -will
hold Porto Iiico as their own territory,
and, of course, Cuba will be lost to
Spain. The perplexing question will
be as to the disposition of the Philli
pines. Thoy ought not to remain to
Spain. Aguinaldo's services deserve
a b?t;er fate, but we do not believe
that the United States should retain
these islands. W* ought to be satisied
to drive Spain off the Western

tkial of the blairs.
. ifr. Editor: It was my pleasure to
accept a pressing invitation from the
sheriff of Newberry to attend tbe
court of Generai Sessions in that
I /wvnnttr wapIt. fhe occasion beinsr
the investigation of the charge of
murder preferred, by the State, 3gainst
Robert T. aad James Blair of this
county?iogetbe? with five white and
two colored men of Newberry county.
The standing of seme of the parlies
charged and the connection soae of
tbem had with the recent crime 01
arson and burglary at Pomaria have
excited much interest in the two
counties in the trial of the case. Over
two hundred witnesses were bound
over to testify and Attorneys Georje
Johnstons aid Welsh assisted the solicitor
in the proiecuti?u while the
defense was in charge of Messrs. E. B.
Ragsdale, Hunt & Hu?t abd Jas.
Culbreath, an array ?f legal talent
seldom seen in one oase. xne iriai
engaged the attention of the court,
Judge Klough presiding, over three
days when, after a deliberation of
perhaps less than an hour the jury
returned a veraicc ox not kui ny as iw
all the parties under charge.
It should be especially gratifying to
the relatives and friends of the Blair
brothers to know that the State, assisted
by George Johnstone, one of
the most, able and astute lawyers in
the State with the services of "Liquor
Constable Lefar and John Henry
Ghappell, in scouring the cou?!ry a6
detoc.ives for months, completely
failed to make out a case against
thtn. While all the speeches were
able those of Ragsdale and Johnstone
may b? mentioned as features of the
t??oi of John
Henry Chappell was very severe as
was also his exposure of the "hidden
hand at Pomaria" who were using
this prosecution te get rid of certain
parties obnoxious to them. The ingenuity,
tact and eloquence of George
Johnstone came alarmingly near
creating a noose oat of the very flimsy
gassy testimony which the detectives
had rated ud for the State.
Briefly stated the facts of the case
are that the Blairs pursued and captared
near Pomaria a upgro woman
who bad rebbed Eobl. Blair's hoase
at Ridgeway, that ia the ^pursuit they
were joiaed by certain parties at
Peaks and Pomaria. Having captured
the w?man about dark they tied her
band? behind her hack and to a bench
in the railway waiting room at Pomaria;
locked the door and went to a
private residence for supper. When
they returnta ma uuor iu ui? naituig j
room was broke* open and the woman
gone. They looked for her a short
while, failed to find her, premised a
reward for her apprehension and retarn
home. The woman has not been
seen since. The State tried " > prove
that she had been murdered i a ?sme
brake star Ponaria. All of occurred
in January 1895. Tut* defendants
were arrested abont two
months ago and have been ia jail
ever since. They appeared betore

should have denied it is certainly not

to the development of the
State's sioe at the trial.
CANING THE SHERIEF.
Appreciating the kind consideration
shown the defendants, Blair, by the
popular and efficient sheriff, Mr.
Bnford, afnnd was collected by Mr.
T. W. Ruff from the Fairfield people
attending the trial, a gold headed
cane pnrcnased and presented by ill*.

Candidates Speak Under DiMculties?
ScrncB of 1SS0 Aln?ost Paralleled.
T* Fairfield belongs the great discredit
of reviving the "howling down"
tactics which charaeterized the earn,
paign of 1S90. For the first time since
the *State canvass opened tne candidates
were confronted by a howling,
drunken mob who disgraced themselves
and their county by their disgusting
efforts to i iterrupt the speakers.
The disorder wa?,' perhaps, somewhat
milder in form than that which
characterized the meetings of 1SS0 and
r-f sn'hspnnp.nt' ^amnaicrns. but the
same old spirit of rowdyism was there,
and ihat?rcinforced and inflamed by
very bad whiskey is responsible for an
exhibition that was an outrage against
decency. It must be said, however,
that the disorder was not general,
only a few of the spectators were concerned
in it. These, however, took
their position directly in front ot the
speakers' stand, and they succeeded
" - T_? ^
very wen in maKing speasing- xor
nearly all of the candidates a practical
impossibility.
Of the Candida es for gubernatorial
honors Gov Ellerbe was the only one
who was allowed to .speak without
interruption. All of the ctber gentlemen
sjcnt nearly the whole ot their
allotted time in remonstrating with
the howlers.
Several of the candidates told a reporter
for Thk News and Herald
that this is the only place that any
disorder whatever has occurred, and
they all seemed surprised and disappointed
at their treatment here. They
are not inclined to hold the town and
county responsible ior ine aiFgusung
antics of a few. Senator Ragsdale,
the chairman of the meeting did everything
in bis power to secure a respectfal
hearing for the speakers.
The first speakers were the candidates
for the office of secretary of
Slate, Messrs. Tompkins and Cooper.
Mr. Cooper said that Tompkins was a
member of the dispensary board when
fViQ lincinocc trroa a?r?rl fhp.

dispensary disgraced. He ridiculed
Mr. Bradham's refusal to hsld an office
connected with the dispensary.
Gen. Watts sail that Col. Floyd bad
ch&rgcd bina with mud slinging. This
charge he denied emphatically, and
stated that Floyd hat. uever been able
to specify a single iostaaw ?f mud
sliuging cn his part. Col. Fiayd referred
to the fact, that Watts had been
educated by the State and had been in
the Adiutant General's office in some
capacity for eight years. This he said
was enough State pap for one man.
Watts Lad said he (Floyd), didn't deserve
the office because be was not &
South Carolinian. Col. Floyd said he
was u South Carolinian frem preference
while VVatls was one because he
could not help himself. Col. Floyd's
speech wa? decidedly eloquent.
* - i?
iiajor Jiiyme, anoiuer cauuiuaiu
the Adjutant General's office, was the
next speaker. He made a plain,
straightforward argument and attacked
no one. He gave his military rocord
aaa stated that as he is a graduate of
the Citadel, and had b??n assistaat
J - . - _ _ J _ 4 _ A
COmmzillU&B L ui. uauets auu iuouui/iui
in tactics at Clemson for three years,,
he had sufficient theoretical and prac?
tieal military training to enable him tr
fill satisfactorily the office he sought.
Major Blythe mad? a good impression.
Mr. McMahaD, a candidate .for
Superintendent of Education, was next
introduced. He is a Fairfield man and
was given a warm greeting by the
crowd. He was glad, he said, to speak I
to the people of his native comnty, and
expressed his regret that Mr. Mayfield,
one of his opponents, was not present.
He wished to introduce him to the
people of Fairfield. Mr. McMahan
said he was firmly convinced that the
school system of South Carolina is
badly in need of reform, and
he thought the needed changes could
be made by careful and intelligent
work. He was enthusiastically applauded
at the conclusion of his remarks.
Col. Rice said he had been Superintendent
of Education of South Caro
lina from 1886 to 1890 and was perfectly
wiliiag (o stand on the record
he had" made in office. He believes
that the Superintendent of Education
should spend his time visitiog the
count}- schools ar.d not in the state
house. The schools should be placed
in reach of the poor man.

the people to improve the vammon
schools as the inijority ?f children

kiinself in this diiection if electcd.
Ylii ajijaaranee of Mr. C. U. Faath
erstene, th? prohibition candidate for
Governor, was the signal for the howlers
to commence work. Mr. Featherstone
appealed to ihem to allow him a
bearing, but without success, and he i
bad a hard time making himself heard.
