We read with a great deit of interest the articles in the State by Mr. Gonziles because he has a good repu tation for the accurate sta'emact of s facts. A great many people without s any intention whatever of inisrepre- 1 sentiog cannot give an accurate and j comprehensive statement of facts It j is a pecaiiar gift and one not pos- i seseed by too many people to be able 1 to state facts logically, accurately, and j comprehensively so'hat readers or an < audience, as the ca=e may be, may see < them clearly. 1 One of the best contributions ibat ' Mr. Goczales hrs given us irom his j observations in Cuba is the ediiorial in 1 Monday's State, "Gomez, as a Soldier 5 and Civiiian." It gives such an iuter- ] esting- sketch of the character of Gomez j that we publish it in fall below: t Gen. Msximo Gomez, we infer, will 1 bs t:lecied provisional president of the < republic of Cuba. The election for < delegates to the constituent assembly j was to have been held on the 10. h inst., S and his name bad been place J at the head of a ticket to be chosen by such i delegates. As only theCubads in arms 1 *? ' - - a ? A i are permuted to vote unaer tae terms of the provisional constitution and as i the army is devoted to him, hi* elec- J tion by the assembly was assured when < he became a candidate. I The editor of the State became sat- > isfied monihs ago, from personal ob- "solvation of Gen. Goxez, that his aim 1 wiis the presidency. The old man, as i early 8S the beginning of July, was ' el^ctiotecriiig in his camps as assida- 1 ously as any of our American politi- ] clans. There was .no mistaking the ma-ner in which he courted the favor ] of the caunlry people. When they < caiae about headquar'ers be had them ' constantly at his elbows, joking the < m?ti, complimenting the women and beaming patriarcbaUy upon the chil- ' dren?giv:r.g them little presents and < making himself, as we say in South Carolina poUtics, "solid wiibthe coan- 1 try. Jolk$." \ ( Of course this eleciioneeriDg looked for results beyond the period of army 1 government?looked to the time when ; -th? majority outside the army would <lt?ermine the issue of elections. That time fcas not j et come{ owiDg to the J unsettled condition of affairs on the island and the prospect of American J occupation for an indefinite period. As i matters stand now the Cubans, lately insurgents, mu3t summon a new con- j stituent assembly to determine their course of action and amend the constitution, and this assembly must be j elected?as It doubtless was on tbe ~ ? ? IftriHnst.?by the army vote, accord- 1 * te the provisions of the existing con- 1 stitution. "fhe^eleciion cf a new assembly cames wtrb^ tbe election of ( a new set ot elect iveo?5c?r&-4ii that assembly. As the chief of the execative department, with the support ofH an assembly chosen by and from men i lately under his command, Gen. Gomez , will be potential in determining the cource ot the Cubans in their relation ' to the United States, and will rlso be 1 4ble to fortify his candidacy for the j nre3idencv of the reDnblic when the i ; time shall come for a'l the people of the island to vote together in the form - ation of a new government. Tbi3 is the probable explanation of his candt- 1 dac/ for an honor now seemingly < empty. , . Maximo Gomez deserves well of the 1 people of Cnba. He is not, as has been i often ignorantJy or maliciously stated, ! a hired adventurer. Like other officers i and men in the insurgent army, he has rocpirpfi ?hft nromise. bv the liwsof tbe republic, of compensation for his ' services when the government of the < island should be wrested from Spain, j bat in this he and they in nowise dif. ] feied from tbe spiders, regulars or < volunteers, of the American army, ' save in the one respect that they received the promise of pay instead of the pay itself. He has been worthy j of his chiefship. It was his plan of . can-paigu which brought exhaustion 1 to ipaio and made possible the Snai 1 ? triemph of American arms by the cap- j ture of one city. He has shown much , diplomatic as well a* military abilitv, a fact well attested by his correspond- i ence with the Spaniards darinff three 1 and a half years. He is shrewd, coo! and cautious, and for the purposes of o the present, tLe Cubans could probably not cooose a safer leader. * Bat as the head of a permanent government?a position to which he" aspires? Gomez would be a failure. To begin with, be is utterly without administrative ability. He hasj never hid, nor tried to have, a commissary department. Although urged by officers nnd->r hi in to systematise the receipt, preservation and distribution of the American supplies sent to bis armv, he refused to do so, with the resn t thai probably half the stores wer<> wasted and his mea starved His Administration of the affairs of the arm ha* shown no trace of capacity to organize, to systematise or to provide for tijfc future. Gomez has read muc;i en war out litue or nocnmg on i{ govesnaieat He is essentially an|g autooral, a believer in tbe strong and unh;. mpered hand of force. In this 1 respcct be makes no improvement c upon the average Spanish officer?he 5 was once a Spanish colonel himself. ( He is easil? flattered and is a prey to flatt< rers. He bhows great favoritism J to these who fawn on him, and often s ignores ihe most meritorious services \ ol those who do not. He has had no f experience of civil affairs, his life, except during the 13 or 14 years b3 1 has been engaged in war, having been t spent m tne scciusion or ms xarm?aau ] he is too old lo :earn. He has the { same defects which marked Gen. " Grant and made his civil administra- c tion a failure If real power of 1 government should come into his s hands there would be a succession of f scandals. for altcongh personally hon- v est, he put too much faith in rascals. v For the work at hand he is com- * ^ petcnt, the present nominal govern- t ment having no actual control over t the islatd; his influence over the 0 Cubans fn arms being srreat, and his j: jedjcposifion toward the United States HBPrelations with this country. But \ |? president of the recognized re Flic of Cuba, the hes.d of its do^Rtii; administration and the director c K^^oreign policy should be a man ? teljgadth, greater experience in c ^te^jPacUy for adminis- \ Bttft|?ldier. bat a subject of irregularities (orli nfoftsa^litios) in the primary system : iow in Oi?4? lb.8 De?nc n'Sr party in i touth Caroabft, says , tue . Columbia Register, [continues to receive attenion at th?i bands of the State press." Ths State press can^ ^o a gooJ work or the Democratic party by continuing o give attention to "the irregularities or informalities) in the primary sysera." "From different parts of the 5t>?te come complaints of irregnlariies," ea/8 our contemporary. These ;omp!aints from different parts of the State show that "irreguiarties or informalities" are not confined to any >ne county, and the fact that commoila fmrn cn mjnv J1&1U15 ;iavu l/V^u uiauv aivuu vv jarts of ihe State proves that somchiugis radically wrong eitber with he rules governicg the primary sveem or with the administration of the lystem. The Register further savs: The primary was originally intended is a means of selecting candidates who ihould be voted for at the polls ia the *e?Qi%r eieuuuu. z>m ui i?cc jswo he primary has become the real *e!ecion. In this election only do aspi ants seek votes and here do the roters tarn out io fall. The aspirant n the primary risks 'everything on the airness and the regularity of th&t election. Up to the recent "order of Xf aTctam ?r? 4Via Tl/irlrolot? JUICI C/U9UW UlVilCl III 1 Ll-J JLVVA ;ase it was considered that there was 10 power in the courts or elsewhere hat could alter the judgment of the jarty authorities on any matter arisng oat of the primary. "The responeijility thus resting with the party nan'agers to determine the actual rights of the candidates, it becomes nore important that everything should )e consactei witn me utmost care, he utmost fairness, tbe utmost rcgaarity. Sn.'l more important^ is all ;his if tbe rights of aspirants, or the ;:ndnctof the party managers is to )e reviewed by the courts of the State. Tbe action of Chief Justice Mclver n the ca?e from Berkeley strongly ilustrated tbe need of greater formally, greater protection from fraud and rrpomlftritv than the nresent roles Afford As a result of the restraining >rder passed by the chief justice, [here is no Democratic candidate lor :,he very ioiportant"office of sheriff in Berkeley county. The desire of the Democratic voters to unite on some man for whom they should vote in :ne general election is thus thwarted by a proceeding (that is wholly unexpected audj wholly unprecedented, fhis much may be said without any purpose to discuss the merits of the t8ra made before the chief iustice and without intiraaliug any opinion on the Drder signed by him.' We must retain the primary system is the only safe aod Jair'way of :hoosing onr Democratic candidates. We Jmnst insist upon the acquiesence of defeated aspirants in the result* as declared by the party authority. But we must also proceed in such manner that tbere shall be no gronnd for the r?r?rr>rvl?inf riolltS haVfi been disregarded, or that any man's interests bare been preferred to another's. Legislation may be needed to authorize the necessary proceedings by the party authorises. The actual machinery for the conduct of the primary and especially for the cauvassing of returns may hive to be provided by law. There is ample Jiime between now and ihe next session ot the legislature for the State executive committee to give this matter proper atten fcion. xney snouia tase it op at ones. The Register makes a good suggestion when it says ihat the Genera] Assembly :-hoald pass an amendment fco the law now relating to primary elections so that further safeguards may be thrown around the system. As the Register truly says the primary is practically (he election in this State, and th? reason is therefore all the stronger that the primary should be under the Drotecii'>? of law." Bat after all unless the law U obeyed by parly >,auagers it will do no good, rhe law now repuircs the managers, prior to tbe election, not only to take m oath to conduct the election f lirlv md impartially, but this oath should t>e subscribed to, that is it ought to be ia writing, and it is further reqaired ihit it shall be filed in the office of the :Ierkof the court of common pleas, [t is further required that the poll lists, &c., thill be filed in hi same office. "VT" <1 T* 3 < M xhe ixsvdi t>0arcij wuiuu is Irving 75 make a leport $ts to the positions of he different warships daring the laval battle at Santiago, seeks to show that the "battle was fought and ;von upon plans pr?pared by Rear Admiral Sampson," and ?s the News md Conner adds, "th&t Admiral Schley had very little to do with the 3ght." We agree fally with the News md Com ier that such a finding will 30t be "accepted a3 at all satisfactory >7 the majority of intelligent people in :hi? country." tiampsoix'o inenas snauia arop ai )nce any effort (o miuimize Schley's )art in this battle. Sampson m&ue a jreat blander when he sent that dispatch abont what 1-the fleet under my jommand" had sccomplished, and now f the Naval Board shall even aeem to akc credit from Schley for Sampson's >enefit, many intelligent people of the sountry will 6uspect, and not without eason, mar mere is a sysiemauc rffort on officialdom to give nndelerved credit to Sampson, and confiience will not be placed in the report >f the Naval Bor;d. Official reports nch as theirs should command the sonfidencc of the country. The News md Courier speafcs the right kind of ;entimentin saving: "We can very ivell understand that officers of the leet are jeaIou3 of their own repntaion, and it is an honorable thing that hev i-honld desire to have full credit :or whatever work was done under heir immediate direction, but, how:ver honorable the ambition, we do lot think that it is exactly the thing to itiempt ?t this late day to detract rom the sple idid services of Admiral Schley. lu the official reports of the >atile we do not think it can be shown hat he neglec'ed to speak in proper ,erms of the services of the ships enraged with him in th<5 battle. The emper of the findings of the Board a9 ummarized in the telegraphic dis>atches i> mt attractive." Tee secomi clause of the findings is ertainly not attractive. It is: "Tbe lircctiiig of the movements of ships loue by Schley during the battle was ncon^iderable." Suppose "the diecting of the movements of ships" ras "inconsiderable"? "The direct ing" was finoDgh to destroy the Spanish fl-et without Schley's losing a single ship. ' ? I OUR WINTHBOP LETTER. Rock Hill, October 13.?Two weeks ago when Rock Hill welcomed with t. : x.. iki,a Knno in hinfi" nf the bucu iu^ uvjo *? ~ First Regiment, the doors of Winthrop College were again invitingly thrown open to ber "girls in blue." The dormitory is fiilled this year, besides a nutnbjr of girls are boarding in town. There are a great many familiar faces as well as a large number of ftrange ones. The Y. W. C. A. of the college gave as usual a reception to the "new girls." Each girl was requested to wear in some conspicuous place a card bearing * - ? KSo TTTO o fA O T7ni oer imuiy xu jluii* tuio vr<*<9 w formality and cave the trouble and coafasion of introduction?.. (A member of the facnlir, by the way, sag* gested that if the girls would wear such a card for two or three weeks much trouble in ascertaining names, &c., could be avoided.) The srirls. after spending awhile in walking around the parlors and halls and enjoying pleasant conversation, were invited to the dining room to enjoy refreshments, after which thsy adjourned to the parlors and spent the rest of Ike evening in pleasant converse. The "old girls'* did everything in their power to contribute to the comfort of their new friends and schoolmates. If some of us are sensitive about oar ages aud would resent the insinuation in another sense, none of us object to the title "old girl" in c4 nf nf f Vio IUC bClldC UJL A laow J (/Ui g OIUVIVIM WA VUV college. Your correspondent never herself realized the importance of such a title until this year, when she knew bow to fuliy appreciate it. No more entrance examinations, no trouble in finding the different class rooms; no ^ dread of going to strange teachers. 0] What a load 13 lifted off the mind I hi These difficulties, however, exist only lor a short time, and before long each p girl feels that she has a considerable a| claim on the college. n. At the commencement of the session J there is usnaily some little trouble in p, classifying, but we have already been assigned to oar different classes and ^ hagB gone regularly to work. ai The first entertainment of the "Star ^ Course" took place Tuesday night. It a) was a copcert given by the John tI Thomas Concert Company. It is said w to have been enjoyed by all who at- jj, tended it. Your correspondent not vi having been present is unab!e to give -jr the details. Y There will be six excellent entertainments during the session, wbicb the ]a girls can attend by paying the small ^ sum of a dollar and a quarter for a t? season ticket. Such entertainments are delightful, breaks ths monotony of school lire and ^ contributes to the improvement and advancement of oar students oateide j, of the mere school work.
