The large per cent of the volunteers
who have been r* jected on their
examination is the subject of
general remark. Indeed this subject
i3 receiving almost as much considertion
hereabouts as the war itself.
To some it seems that the medical
examination is conducted with unusual
severity and is hedged about
by entirely too mush red .tape.
Others contend that the medical
examiners cannot be too strict and
exacting in seeing that the candidate
for examination meets all the ie
quirements of the regulations fully
and that his physical condition
is as perfect as the laws of good
health demands This precaution, t
is argued, is necessary to prevent the
government from having an army of
imbeciles on hand as perpetual pensioners.
StiJl others contend that the manner
in which the examination is conducted
is a studied effort to insult
11 - ?tho SkIp
me young mauuuuu ui mv,
We hardly believe this latter cause
assigned as a reason for so maoy
of our youDg men being rejected and
are disposed to lcok to some other
reasoD, which is no less than the
present regulations were adopted in a
time of peace when recruits were
not specially needed and consequently
the men were selected more
for their fine physical appearance
on dress parade rather than for courage
and endurance in time of war.
Many of these rejected young men
are sons of the men who made the
name of the Confederate soldier glorious
in the annals of history for
undaunted courage, brilliant gallantry
and unparelleled foittude and en
durance. They are worthy representatives
of brave sires who on
more than one occasion not only carried
their fifty pounds of baggage
but made their enemies exceedingly
glad to relieve themselves of their
encumberances to flee from the striplings
and beardless boys whose chests
did not quite expand two inches aDd
and whose weight fell 110 of an
inch of the heiglh according to the
standards. No doubt these rejected
i--j AT i
ones, nau tuey ueeu givcu iuc
tunity, would have proven to be the
flower of the American army. Boys,
take heart from this: The stone that
was rejected by the builders eventually
became the corner stoDe. Hold
yourself in readiness, the time will
probably come when you will be
called upon to defend America's
honor and America's glory, then
when the victorious ''rebel yell" startles
the echoes of the battlefield you
will no longer be twitted with deficiency
of weight, of heigth and of
expansoin of chest nor of impaired
eyesight.
The State Democratic convention
will meet in Columbia today. Ooly
routine business, however, is to be
transacted, such as re organization
for the next two years, arranging for
the State primary and such other
business as may be brought before
it. Not much interest ie taken in
politics, the all absorbing war news,
monopolizing the attention of the
people.
Cole L. Blease, Esq , of Newberry,
introduced a resolution in his club
to instruct the State Democratic
Executive Committee to order
the managers of election to be held
on the 4th Tuesday in August to
place at each polling place a box for
the reception of ballots expressing
the sentiment of the voter, as to
whether he favors prohibition, high
license or the Dispensary.
Dr. S. J. Bivings, who murdered
T. J. Trimmier in Spartanburg last
March, and whose trial ended on
Tuesday of last week, with a verdict
of guilty with a recommendation to
mercy, was found in his cell last
"Wednesday dead, he having opened
an artery in his thigh with a case
knife and bled to death.
The provisions for issuing $15,000,000
in greenbacks and $42,000,000
in silver certificates ia advance
of seignorage on the silver bullion
owned by the government, are not j
likely to be in the war revenue bill
when it becomes a law, but should it
be nevertheless. This is what we
need badly.
Two attempts are said to have been 1
made by the Spaniards to poison the j
branch from which the soldiers obtain
drinking water at C imp Mobile, by;
anchoring bags of cotton saturated j
with arsenic in the branch.
Mrs. Summer Kittelle, a daughter !
of Capt. Sigsbee, of the late warship
Maine, will make Greenville her j
home until the war is over.
The dispsnsary is very much in 1
evidence although it has had numerous
obituaries written by its enemies, j
THE OREGON.
Some anxiety bas been expressed
in various quarters concerning the
safety of the United States warship
Oiegon, which is making Hie journey
from San Francisco to Key st I
around South America. The SpsnL?h
war vessels, it is claimed, have
been on the lookout for her at neai ly
every port at which it was alleged
she would stop on her way from the
Pacific ocean, and this gave rise to
grave fears for her safety, and as the
days passed by these fears weie
increased and intensified.
The last time she was heard from
was at Rio de Janeiro, fiom which
place, to the point where the steamship
line from the Cape de Verde
intns-cts the route is 1,6S0 miles;
from the same point of intersection
to the Cape de Verde islands, is only
1,200. Therefore, it was perfectly J
possible for the Spanish fleet to cut
off the Oregon and eDgage her, aDd ;
this was rendered easier by The fact
that the Spanish ships were far
superior iu speed, and would have
time to get in the Oregon's path aDd
send out small boats to look for her.
Bat should* the Spanish fleet tud
across her they will find that they
have run into a hornets nest. She is
accompanied by two other vessels
which makes a formidable fleet
which the following will show:
"In the meantime the Oregon and
the Marietta had been joined by the
powerful dynamite cruiser Nictheroy,
(iow called the Buffalo), which the
United States had purchased from
Brazil. The Nictberoy is a 10 knot
cruiser: her displacement is 4,6GG
tons, length 380 feet, beam 48 feet,
and she carries a powerful ai moment,
as follows:
uOne 15 inch dynamite gun (claimed
to be the most powerful agent of
destruction on any vessel afloat).
' One 4, 7 inch rapid fire gun, two
3 9-inch 1 pounders, and four Howell
torpedo tubes.
' The Nictberoy is unique and can
not be classified. She add3 an element
of power to the destructive
agencies of the Oregon the exact
force of wLich is hard to calculate.
' The Oregon herself is not
matched, naval experts claim, by any
battleship outside the British navy.
Her awful armament of four huge
13-inch guns, eight 8 inch and four
G-inch breechloading rifles, together
with 20 C pounders and six 1 pounders,
both rapid-firing, make her the
embodiment of death riding the
waves. Besides she carries no less
than six torpedo tubes of the most
modern design. A single projectile
from one of her 13-inch guns, planted
squarely in the body of a Spanish |
warship, would settle that ship's fate.
The vessel hit would quiver like an
oak riven by a thuDderbolt, careen
violently fTom the blow for a brief
space, and then rapidly settle to the
bottom. It is hardly necessary to
remaik that the marksmanship of
her gunners is of that deadly accuracy
for which American gunners are
famous the world over. The armor
of the Oregon, moreover, is 18 inches
thick on the sides, and renders her
almost, if not quite, impenetrable by
any gun in the Spanish fleet.
"So with all this, and the Nictberoy
spoutiDg her dynamite like a
volcano in action, it is by no means
settled that the entire Spanish fleet
could get the better of the Oregon,
but rather it is to be expected that
l ih
1U OUJ t ? tuo tug K^^UUiCU Utvv n VUiU
comeoutofthe encounter so much
crippled that it would be at Sampi
son's mercy. It seems to be the
settled policy of that slippery tieet to
avoid an encounter for the present?
and one must conclude from its
action that it desires to get under
the guns of Morro castle and Santa
Clara before hazarding an engagement."

The London Star of May 14, says
a Madrid dispatch via Paris tbrowns
interesting light, gathered from an
official source, ou Admiral Gerveras'
movements since be left the Cape
Verde islands. It appears that he
headed for S: Pierre, Miquelon, on
the coat of Newfoundland, where
sealed orders awaited him. Their
colliers from Sidney were met and
the Spanish fleet coaled. Admiral
Gerveras' instructions then were to
raid Portland, Boston and Newport
and if Rear Admiral Sampson bombarded
Havana, to draw him off.
The news from Manila seems to ha\e
changed the plans. The next proposed
move was to decoy Rear Admiral
Sampson to Porto Rico and
then sail rapidly for Havana and de
stroy the few ships left there. Finally,
should Admiral Gerveras on
reaching Santiago de Caba, learn
that two American squadrons were
coming to meet him, thus leaving the ;
sea free, his plan would be to avoid
them, sail straight for Charleston
and bombard that city.
