Public Statement From
A Public Man
! Hon. W. n. Ohley, Ex-Secretary of State of
| West Virginia, writes an open letter.
Charleston, W. Va , Mar. 0.1 si>8.
To /toot it may concern :
"I most heartily recommenfl Pe-ru-na
as of great l)enetit in eases catarrh.
It is especially beneficial wherever the
mucous membranes are affected. As a
tonic it certainly has no superior."
W. II. Uhley, Ex-Secretary of State.
Bon. W.~H.^Ohlet.
Pe-ru-na ha*- cured thousands of obstinate
cases of catarrh, and is perhaps
the only efficient remedy in existence
for catarrhal diseases; but there are
counties^ multitudes of people who are
still struggling with catarrh and need
help To such as these the unqualified
recommendation of Pe-ru-na by ExSecretary
Ohley is directed. Pe-ru na
is scientific and purely vegetable. Ail
druggists sell it.
Terror On Spain's Coast.
Marseille?, July 15.?A number of
Barcelona steamers have taken refuge

Barcelona.
BARCELONA PANIC STRICKEN.
London, July 15.?It is announced
ill a special dispatch from Barcelona
this afternoon that the inhabitants of
that city are panic-stricken. They
believe tho Americans will select
defenseless Barcelona as the first
point to bombard. The local banks
are removing their specie to the
country, the merchants are sending
their goods to places of safety and
many of the citizens are leaving. The
governor of Barcelona have informed
the people that they cannot expect
help from the government.
LEAVING CADIZ.
Cadiz, July 15.?There is great excitement
here owing to the expected
coming of Commodore Watson's
squadron. Many are leaving.
The Spanish mail steamer plying
between this port and Tangier will
cease to run next week.
IN A MUDDLE.
LondoD, July 1G.?The Gibraltar
correspondent of the Daily News
says:
A naval battle off the Spanish
coast is considered imminent. The
suspension of the constitutional guarantees
is a symptom of the distracted
condition of Spain. The nation
wants peace; the army wants a
victory. Spain cannot continue to
struggle, yet peace will be the signal
for revolution, and the European intervention
which was formeily dei
sired, is now dreaded.
"The government, through El
Epoca, advocates direct negotiations
with the United States.
The military press indignantly
J characterizes peace as treason,
j Wealthy families are deserting Cadiz,
I Seville and Malaga. Supplies are |
I shipped from here to the American
consul at Tangier/'
"Our customers say ycu manufacture
three of the best remedies on
earth," said the mercantile firm of
Haas, Harris, Brim & LcLain, of
Dawson, Ga., in a recent letter to
the Chamberlain Medicine Co. This
is the universal verdict. Chamberlain's
Pain Balm is the finest preparation
in the world for rheumatism,
J neuralgia, lame back, quinsey, sore
; throat, cuts, bruises, burns, scalds,
| pains and swellings. A 25 cent bot|
tie of this liniment in the house, will

Pathetic Action of t/ie Cristobal

?
Scene To Bo Long Remembered?
The Landing of the Prisoners from
Cervera's Fleet?Men in a Pitiful
Condition?BeiDg Cared For.
Portsmouth, N. H., July 11.?The
Spanish prisoners who were brought
to this port in the auxiliary cruiser
St. Louis from Santiago, numbeiiDg
692 of the men who formed part of
the crew of Admiral Cervera's squadron,
are tonight sleeping peacefully
and in comparative comfort in the
new barracks erected for them on
Seavj's island. Around them is a
guard of 125 marines, the pick of the
corps of the marine barracks on the
Atlantic coast.
It was a pathetic eight from beginning
to end, and such as would
bring tears to many eyes. The poor
wretched creatures struggled up the
hilliside, clad for the most part in
rage, some of the men being covered
only with the fragments of a table
cloth or a blanket, while others had
on portions of what was once a uniform.
When the men landed some
of them were so weak that they
could not stand and laid on the
ground until stretchers were brought
and by the aid of their comrades
were carried to the main road, where
they were placed on the grass. Many
of the prisoners had wounds that
were still unhealed and their heads
and arms showed the effects of the
terrible battle in which they fought.
The crew of the Cristobal Colon
were landed in a body. They were
better clad and evidently better fed
than the other men, for they bore a
resemblance of the Spanish sailor in
make-up. Thirty members of the
Colon's crew, however, were severely
wounded and had to be carried on
stretchers.
The unloading of the motley crowd
was witnessed by thousands of people
on shore and in boats, and it may be
said with all sincerity that during
the two hours occupied with the task
not a sneer or a jeer was heard, ncr
an act performed which might have
given offense to the men.
The most interesting part of the
landing of the men W39 the dutv
O f
performed by Capt. E. Diaz Morrou
of the Cristobal Colon, the once
hearty and jovial sailor, the favorite j
captain of the Spanish navy, standing
on the -height near where the
men came ashore, clad in a tattered
uniform of white duck trousers and
blue coat, book in hand, the mustering
officer of the Spanish prisoners.
His heavy voice called out the names i
of the prisoners and credited each to
the vessel to which the individual
wa9 once a member.
When the muster out, as it seemed
to be, was finished, the men were
formed in line and marched into the
temporary barracks, which will serve
as a prison for them.
Of the number landed 40 have
been taken to the hospital suffering
for the most part from wounds,
while not a few are victims of minor
ills.
One of the most touching incidents
of the day was the farewell Gapt. Morrou
took of his crew before he went
back to the St. Louis.
Few who saw the tenderness with
which the former bighearted and
jovial commander walked down the
line and affectionately embraced each
seaman as if he was his only son,
could refrain from tears.
Capt. Morrou turned to the American
officer and asked permission to
say a few parting words to his men.
The requst was readily granted, but
Capt. Morrou, instead of makirg a
formal and eloquent address to the
long line, walked up to the ruan at
the head of it, and, taking him
warmly by the hand, tenderly kissed
the grim sailor on the cheek. When
the men saw the action of the commander
they wept as if their hearts
would break, and as the captain
walked down the line, shaking each
by the hand and kissing each sun|
burned cheek, each man threw his
i arms around his commander's neck
i and gave him a hearty embrace.
When finally the captain reached
I the end of the long line, he turned,
j and in a voice shaking with emotion,
I said a few words of farewell to the
)ODS
T, TIE3., J^L^tTa

crew 89 a whole. As he fiDished the
half-clad men surrounded him,
grasping his arms and legs, all trying
for one last embrace.
A "Farmer's" Estimate of South
Carolina's Chief Executive.
To the Editor of The Register:
The primary voters of South Carolina
prefer reasons more tangible
than has yet been adduced by opposing
candidates and subsidized
sheets assuming to be newspapers,
why Governor Ellerbo should be
dumped to make place for others
who may or may not be brimful of
au unselfish patriotism.
Unproven charges made by enemies
who so much want to be Governor,
like the deceptive boomerang, will
return with merited punishment
upon the heads of those who send
them forth. Were it possible to defeat
Governor Ellerbe, would his
successor in any way do that which
would be more acceptable and better
for the people? No! Then give
Dim ii seconu term, uoi siijjpjj iu
compliance with the second term
rule, but because be has done his
duty well in a firm, conciliatory
Chiistian spirit. It is not strange
that those who so much want to
serve the "dear people" can see so
many motes in the Governor's eyes.
No special beer or liquor privileges
should be given to hotels or any one
else, and the Governor is thanked for
his action in this matter and the
voters will stand by him.
There is much to commend in
Governor Ellerbe. He is sober; pays
his debts; without prejudice as Governor;
executes the laws as he finds
them ou the statute books, and is a
consistent member of the church.
Less than these unfits any man for
an office of any kind. Farmer.
A Carolina Orator,
The Augusta Evening Herald.
The campaign in South Carolina
has developed a genuine orator. We
repeat that in the present contest we
have no other interest than that
the best man could win. We now
speak, not of the military qualifications
of the gentleman in question?
however great they may be?but of
the eloquence which has recently
proved a revelation to the historic
old Palmeto State, so distinguished
for oratory.
This rare and surprising gift belongs
to Hon J. W. Floyd, who is a
candidate for the position of Adjutant
and Inspector General of the
State, to succeed Gen. John Gary
Watts, the present incumbent.
Mr. Floyd entered the race practically
an unknown quantity. But
he has been heard from since. Every
where his fervid, impassioned sty!?,
as well as his empty sleeve, awakens
the wildest enthusiasm. He has a
fine, sonorous voice, easily heard and
deeply penetrating. He stirs his
audience whereever he appears.
Gen. Watts has rendered efficient
service to the State, but he makes no
pretence to oratory and it is freely
predicted that Mr. Floyd may yet
succeed in winning out. He would
render valuable service to the State,
for be knows the art of war practically
and theoretically.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The dry spell has ended and
showers have refreshed the needy
crops and gave driDk to the thirsty
ground, and now ends in a very cool,
windy spell of rainy, cloudy weather.
The wives of two American soldiers,
viz: Mrs. Lawrence Jacobs
and Mm. Virgil Rucker have been
seriously ill. Mrs. Jacobs suffering
from continued fever, and intensified
by an inflamed arm from vaccination
was a severe t ufferer for several days,
but und?r the diligent and skilfull
attendance of Dr. Brooker, is up
again. Mrs. Rucker is still a severe
sufferer and to all human appear
ances the worst my not be reached
yet. She leaves today, attended by
her phjsician, Dr. Langford, to
secure treatment at the hospital in
Columbia. She has many friends
here whc anxiously await the result.
Dr. De.niel Hilderbrand who was
paralyzed last year and whose case
was considered very critical, delighted
his friends here yesterday, by his
genial presence among us, but the
hoary head and the snowy plumage
of the beard, indicate that the alloted
time of his sojourn is not very distant
even at his best estate.
Capt. Ttios. Oliver was in town
this week. While nearing Lis three
score and ten, Capt. Oliver in conversation
and spirits is still a young
man, but nothing so betrays him as
the white head and the silvery beard.
He is always surrounded by an atmosphere
of pleasantry and mirth
that many a younger surley, sour, discontented
spirit might very well imitate.
We are always glad to see him
and meet that natural, pleasant "good
morning, sir."
The protracted meeting of the
Baptist church here has ended after
ten days good preaching. The
preaching was done principally by
Rev. Y. D. Huggins of Williston, S.
C, the Rev. H. L. Baggott assisting
only the first two days. It was a
success entirely. The congregation
< ? ?* -ii j
appreciated toe atue sermoua, uuu
four were added by letter and seven
others have joined the church, and
on first Sunday morning in August,
before preaching, will show their
faith in the death, burial and resurrection
of a crucified savior, by being
buried with him in baptism at the
mill pond of Mr. H. It. Goodwin in
Swansea.
On the 18th, Claude Baggottof the
Ridge Spring section, will commence
a summe:* school here, which it is expected
he wiii continue on through
the winter months.
Mr. Lee Fallaw has returned to
Swansea and his many friends can

young merchant, Jas. E. Gantt,

Mrs. Paul E. Hutto has been quite
