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'

x0 tongek axt excuse. J
Cdl. Jones, Lieut. 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.

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.

Avfjusta Herald.
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

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

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."
