N ^ Tear, - - - SI.50 SlxM*atIu, - .75 : J . * WINNSBORO, S. C. "Wednesday August 10.'- - - 1S98 KENT'S OFFICIAL REPORT. When the inside history of the bat tie of Santiago shall have beeu fully written from authentic information, It will contain some surprises. Now and then a surprising hint at the truth has appeared in the newspapers. General Kent's official report of the battle has just been published with the approval of General Shatter, and he confirms the intimation contained in the first newspaper accounts of the * * ? - ' ***?-a 1?J battle that tae /isc new ior?k. nuu^eu. Gea. Kent says: Lieut. Col. Derby, of Shafter's staff, met me, * * and informed me that a trail cr narrow way had been discoyered from th3| - balloon a siort distance back, leading to the left of r. ford lower, down the stream. I hastened to the forks made by this road, and soon after the 71st New York regiment of Hawkins' brigade came up, I turned them into the by-path indicated by Lieut. Col. Derby, leading to the lower ford, RAnrtirxr word to Gen. Hawkins of this movement. This would have speedily delivered them in their proper place on the left of tkeir brigade, but under the gallias of the enemy, the leading battalion of this regiment was thrown into confusion and recoiled in disorder oa the troops iu the rear. At this critical moment the officers ?f my staff practically formed a cordon behind the panic-stri?ken men and urged them to go forward again. I finally ordered them to lie down in (he thicket and clear the way fm* ntViore r>.f nwn reriment. who iVl VWUW4 9 V* vuw*? w ,, .. _ -.n t were coaling up behind. This many of them did, and (he 2nd aad 3rd battalions came forward in better order and moved along the read towards the ford. One of my staff officers ran back wa?ing iiis hat to harry forward the 3rd brigade, who upon approaching the forks found tthe way blocked by men of the 71st New York. There were other men of this regiment crouching in the bushes, many of whom were encouraged by the advance of the approaching column So arise and go forward." The New York World charged cowardice to the 71st New York some time ago, but was so severely criticised by the New York Journal and other New York papers that it denied ever having "slandered" the 71st, and the World has been profuse in praising the gallantry of the 71st for several weeks, and has started a fund to erect a monument to the noble and gallant 71st New York. After General Kent's official report came out, we watched to see whether the World would flop back to its first position, anu we find that it publishes Kent's report, but omits all reference to the 71st New York. AX IXJtTBY TO IHS SOUTH. It has been repeatedly charged that Secretary Alger is prejudiced against " " v ?j i ine ounci, auu ut?? uiwuuuiuatvu against this section in the present war. The first complaint made was tkat he was holding the Southern troops hack, and sending the Northern troops to the front. This was satisfactorily explained by him. fie showed that the Northern troops were making the same complaint, and in fact showed that there was no ground for the charge that sectional lines had been drawn im the war department of the Government. New it is annoinced that Secretary of "War Alger intends to order "all the troops out of the South, and place them at Northern camps," ana ne gives i . as hit reason for this "the complaint of ill health, and the spread of fevers at some of the camps." Senator Bacon "stated to the Secretary, with great emphasis, that such action was uncalled for, and that the trouble at Chickamauga was not due to the unhealthiness of the climate at all, but to the actios of th# ficers of the army in ksriia; zaen together where they could not hare the proper TTo /?c 11 or? th? fin Oftili 141 T JLLV vuuvv. ?tion contemplated by the Secretary unwarranted, and declared that if the troop* were properly placed in the Souin it would be found that the health conditions were just as good as in New England, or any other part of ths country." What Sen?*.or Bacon has said is true, and every one liviag in the South or any Northerner who has ipent any part of his life in this section knows the trail! ot benaior Jt>acons siaieaaents. That some places in the South are unhealthy daring the summer monrhs is a fact, and we have not the sligh'.estt doubt that the same thing is true ot places in the North. If Secretary Alger is determined to take the troops to the North upon the ground that the health conditions in i the South are so bad, them it will re salt in untold injury to this section. If t he second South Carolina regiaent is not recruited, it will not be the fault of the war department. Senator AIcLaurin's service to his State in facilitating enlistment deserves commendation. Alger very properly "sat down' on Col. Ecosevelt. Bucklen's Arnica Salve. The Best Salve in the world for Cuts, .Bruises, Sores, Ulcers, Salt Rheum, Fever Sores, Tetter, Chapped Hands, Chillblains, Corns, and all Skin Eruptions, and positively cures Piles, or no pay required.

Colonel Thomp- j sea and Senator McLauriu have re- j turned from Washington where they went to ask tie war department to grant ftrtier concessions to this State modifying tie regulations as to the enlistment of voI*nteers. They have accomplished the purpose of their mission, and bow if the second regi?racrnit*A it will certainly UltUb .9 UVb AVV- v..-,- __ not be on acceint of the stringent rules of the war department. Everything the South Carolina authorities have a3ked has been granted. It 23 further stated that Secretary Alger is anxious that the State shall have the honor of haying fully responded 10 the President's call for soldiers. t> nr.w remains to be st n what the State shall do. No longer can there b? any excuse for a failure. A failure now will simply mean that the State r?fos?s to answer to the call of ilia country. The second regiment lacks about 700 men. This is only ab?ut 20 men to every eounty in the State. N&turaliv it is to be expected that youDg men without any #ne depenient npon them for a support will respond to the call for volunteers. If they do not do so then it will become the dnty of their elders to yoluntesr. This war with 'Spain is already skowing good frait. It is revealing tie trae contuucn ui me owuiu, will completely wipe out sectional lines. The acquisition of new territory will bring into the Union a class of population similar to the colored population of the South, and already we iod such men as Senator Hoar confessing that the enfranchisement ef an ignorant class is a great mistake, and opmly confessing that giving suffrage to the slates was a great blunder. South Carolina occupies a n?pnliflr n?ait.irni. aild for ObvlOUS raasons she ought not to be reported delinquent ic her quota of troops. Will not her young men answer the call? It is certainly a hard matter to get a* the trnth about the Cnbars. It is aboit as hard to kava tie trnth written as t? the real attitude ?f the Cnbaju, aad their character as to settle the disputed facts as to the cival war. ! We hare Shafter and tie associated press and a few war correspondents minimizing the value of the Cubans, while Generals Lawtoa and Ludlow praise them. Now General O. O. Howard "as the confidential agent of the President" ia in Cuba, aud he reports: "I hare seen many Cubans of ability. Their loyalty to Cuba and the United Stat?3 is deeply ingrained. They only fear the death of thousands of friends at every postponement of the taking of Havana. They declare that property . owners of Havana are yet powerful enough to force Blanco to sarreider as soon as t ar landing shall be secured and the fleet near. Tbey say Gen. Garcia is satisfied with the garrisoning of Santiago andjthat it gives satisfaction to the Cubans generally. Tbey contradict the published falsehoods, especially those inspired by tbe few j Spaniards and their friends at Key West. Seventy per cent or me Cubans can read and write. They are worthy of American sympathy and help. We must let no avarice, prejudice or entensive Spanish influence blind us to the actual facts." Asain we repeat do not be too quick to believe everything you see in the newspapers and don't be too quick to condemn oar allies. ADDRESS TO PROHIBITIONISTS. The Prohibitionists of South Carolina are Ioval to the Democratic pirty. When the executive committee of the Democratic party ruled that the nominees suggested by the prohibition convention conld not be voted for in the primary election, while many of the prohibitionists felt that they were unjustly treated by that act; > yet because of that rulinsr, the tmnees were promptly withdrawn. Than* &ra however, who are running for the various offices, as individuals, on the prohibition issue. The gallaat Featherstone is the standard bearer for the office of governor, and is vt ell worthy of the support of' all good men. The candidates for the other offices are also well worthy of the support of our people. The executive committee of the Prohibitionists of Fairfield County take this means of giving their endorsement to those wfc? represeit tkeirideas on tkis subject, and urge all Democrats to give them their earnest support. The disgraceful scenes eaacted at the camDaiorn meeting: recently in ;"Winnsbcro, by drunken and liquorj crazed men, is an object l?sscn of tho evils of the liquor traffic and an argu; ment for stamping the corse out ?f our beloved State. I It is all important that we have a legislature in sympathy with probibiition in oi;der that such a law may be enacted by the next General Assembly. We therefore urge all Democrats who favor our cause to find out in some way the sentiments of those who are candidates for the legislature on the question ot prohibition, and in the primary election to give thtir votes to those only who favor our cause. The cause of prohibition in the State wa* never brig&ter man it is to-aay, ana we trast that old Fairfield will come up with a handsome majority for the cause at the primary election. To this end we urge vou to vote ani work for it Iromthis time onwaid. Executive Committee. _ I ieiiow daunuice vortu, Suffering hnmanity should be gupplied with every mean3 possible for its relief.

THOMAS EXPLAINS. f I Editor: Being confined to my bed at your State campaign meeting, I beg von will give me space iu yonr paper to teil the people of Fairfield why they should support me for Railroad Commissioner. i am a civu engineer uy prwxcsoiuu. j When ithe war closed I wa3 19 years! old and was of sufficient importance as a soldier to have the United States Government offer a reward for me. I went to Canada and sought the protection of the British Government. I lived north 12 year3. When I was 23 years old I was principal assistant engineer of an important railroad in New York and received a salary of $3,000 a year. There was no way for me, a rebel, to securc a $3,000 job and bold it 12 years, but to give to my employer value received for the money paid me. The term of office for lliilroad Commissioner is six years; I baye been in office over seven years. A new man is au experiment. The law says the Railroad Commissioner must make "j*sl ancl reasonable'"' rates on every single commodity handled in this State, and must inspect bridges and trestles to insure safe transportation to the traveling public. I declare that no man who has not had some previous education and training in this line is capablc of performing these daties. I have offered each of my opponents $50 if they would make a "ju3t and reasonable" rate on any Arlinr 02 f'nA !.iw rr>nnirfi3_ based WUXUXVUIU^I y WV t,uv -w. - w ? on the cost of service. I have oflered $50 to any of them who could calculate the strain on a truss bridge by a passing train. Now, if it is true that they can't do this service (and I declare it is true), then they can render you no value received for the salary attached to the office. Suppose you had a lot of cotton to haul with two mules hitched' to a wagon. If you did not know how many bales the two mu'es could pull you could not fix the price per bale, j Then if you cannot calculate the number of tons the iron horse can pull over the different grades and curves of the different roads in the State, you cannot fix the rate per ton. The report of 1S97, poge 29, proves mat i can ao cms, dhc i ncciarc uuue of my opponents can. Then you ?igat as well get a wax Sgnrc from out of yt>nr iiores and drc^s hioa up in a crash gak aad elect Linn liiilroad Commissioner as any of my opponents lor any service they can render you. Tbis is one of the most important offices in the State. Every rag of clothes you wear, everything on your farm and in your stores and homes have to pay the transportation tax. If the tax is not eqaitably adjusted on cue amerent comraouiues ami uu uu different sections of country, and discriminations are made throngh ignorance or otherwise, it builds up one and tears down another. To illustrate: For tbree or four years I have been fighting the discriminations in the fertilizer rate. In Georgia the fertilizer rato was reduced 20 per cent. The chairman of the board wrote me that meat a horizontal reduction of 20 per cent. In otlisr words, every section of ^country and every individual in the State of Georgia got 20 per cent reduction. In this State the resolution was voted to reduce fertilizer 25 per cent. Some sections of the country got 25 per cent redaction, some 8 per cent ana some nothing at aii. The tariS was therefore illegal, and yen were robbed of 70 cents on every ton of fertilizer used in Fairfield County for the past four years. I sabmit that it is a fearful tax on the farmers and people of Fairfield County. Against this rate I have protested again and again and put in a minority report to the legisiatnre. Charleston is the price center for fertilizer. At Kershaw, 165 miles on the O. R. & C., the rate is $2.55. At Winnsboro, the same distance of haul, 165 miles, and the same conditions, the rate is $3.30. No man can justify such rate making and your people in Fairfield are- suffering under tnese discrimination-; in this rate. It was on my resolution and through my contention that the cotton rate was reduced $100,000 in this State, and went directly into the pockets of the farmers. The fertilizar rate got into the courts, the majority of the board entered into au agreement with the railroads as follows: You work the fertilizer rate and we will recoup you by raising all rates on other commodities at the request of the traffic managers. I nrotested in the court, takinsr r> ? ? x- w the ground that the State did not authorize rae to trade for rates. The traffic managers came for their pay under the written agreement with the majority of the boar<3, and asked for a raise of rates on eighty (80) different commodities. (See Report 1896.) I a^ iin protested and in a speech which I ?eut ont to tee public I advocated instead removing the discrimination in the fertilizer rate ana reducing tne ra;e on cotton. (See Report 1897.) I thus saved the people a raise of rates oa eighty different commodities, amounting to over $'100,00G.jl?*5 By previous education and training I knew how to serve tha people. I have prev?* both my ability and ay williagness. I claim to bs an absolutely clean man, e'se I could not aftord to Mght the majority of the board, a; I have done, for the past three years, when they kept the Minutes and the records. I have thrown open the records of ay office to my opponents and thev have been unable to find one single dereliction of duty on rev part. Tney have failed to give you one reason why you should turn out a faithful servant and, putin my stead a new man, who cannot render you any service and whose only plea js, "I wane tne po." 11 tender you my services at the fame price my opponents tender ilieirs.

To the Eclitor of the Augusta Herald?Sir: One of the candidates for State Superintendent of Education in Soulk Carolina is John J. HcMahaa, ?f Columbia. Mr. McMahan ig a young mas, perhaps nor 35 year0 otd, but he has had a great deal of experi cuco. lie is a graduate of the South Carolina College, has held {be position of assistant professor of English in that institution for a liaiaber of years, was a prominent member of the constitutional convention, is aa able and conscientious lawyer, a brave, fairminded, intelligent man, of whom all South Carolinians may well feel proud. Ia the constitutional convention, JJr. McMahan advocated a forestry commission, whose duty it would have been to plant trees along the highways and to prevent the State from being denuded of its forests. His course was indicative of great scientific research, for it is a well known fact that nearly all scientists believe that, as the leaves of the trees liberate azone and in that way purify the atmosphere, the earth would probably become uninhabitable if the forests should be totally destroyed, Mr. McJiahau's advocacy of a marriage commission subjected him to in f V? f i f l-k?* tttoc in CUUig OiiUVJlOUl) Will. AU V*-lt?V .UV VV lii line with the leading scientists and humanitarians of the age. Such a law would prevent the carriage of persons whose blood is tainted with scrofula or syphilids or any other disease that would injuriously affect their offspring. Some of the leading countries of the civilized world have established a mar riagc commission, and so beneficial are its results that its abolition would not be for a moment considered. If only persons of pure blood were allowed to marry, the race would be healtliier, stronger, and more of us would possess eana mens in sano corpore. As a lawyer Mr. McMahan has never neglected an opportunity to befriend the poor and distressed. About a year ago, an operative in the L cotton mill, on acconnt of some disagreement. decided to quit his employment. Having decided to remove, he placed his scant furniture and household goods in the depot lor shipment. The mill peopie not only refused to pay him what wages were due, but also seized V??r? -?t-, v.*-*"ft.,-\ ? v* onrl hoir\ ^ 1113 1U1U11U1C 111 IUS "VfUt. AW on the belief that tkeir former employe was guilty of a breach of contract. I do not doubt that tbey believed in the honesty of their intention, and it is not desired to cast any reflection upon them. It was simply an error of jadgmont. The man was poor and friendless. No lawyer in the towu would take ills case, especially as h? had no m*ney with wbich to pay his fee. lie then went to Columbia and consulted John J. SlcJlaban. This brainy and big-hearted yoang lawyer unhesitatingly accepted his case, although the Ice was contingent and the expense of bringing suit considerable. In'aocepling the case, he did not ask, is it popular? The question uppermost iu his mind, is it right? And having decided that qnestion in ihe affirmative, set to trork, and, by his learning1 and eloquence, hi tecared a verdict in favor of his clienf, wh# wm awarded considerable damages. A friend ot' the poor, the distressed ana uie nc^ay ?euucuieu, uuuneuus and refined?no braver, nobler, broader man could be elected tithe high office to which he aspires. South Carolina may well feel proud of John J. McMaban, whs, in common with his State, subscribes to that lofty motto: "Duiii spiro ?pero." John Allen MetJe. Trenton, 0., Ja!y, 1S93.
