^ It may not be inappropriate to remark
that, while the whole country
joins in doing honor to the returned
hero of Manila and triumphal arches
have been erected to commemorate
and perpetuate bis brilliant, and at
that time unparalleled, victory at
Cavite in the Philippines, the hero of
Santiago is being snubbed and neglected
by an unappreciativc and
prejudiced government. It is true
that Dewey's victory was a brilliant
one and he is deserving of all the
honors which have been heaped
upon him by a grateful and loviDg
people, but it is equally true that
Schley's victory was as complete and
as brilliant. Dewey's victory happened
at a time when the newB of
the declaration of war had barely
reached the far away Philippine is
lands and the Spanish were totally
unprepared for the attack, which was
evidenced by their lack of precaution,
that the vessels composing Monfcijo's
fleet were inferior in every respect
to those of the Americans, being
for the most part wooden bull
vessels of a low grade. Cervera's
fleet was the flower of the Spanish
p navy. His ships were first class war
vessels fully t quipped with all the
modern guns and pharapernalia
known to modern science, and at the
tima of its destruction, it was fully
prepared for action, with guns
primed and trained, the gunners iD
- 1 --x. -T - it..
position ana on ine aieri ior me
command to ;tfire" and each man at
his post ready to perform his part in
the awful tragedy about to take
place. Dewey destroyed Monti jo'*
fleet, not one escaped to tell the sad
tale of destruction. Schley 6unk
C^vera'a fleet, completely wipirg it
frxn the bosom of the deep, and per
mittiDg not a single vessel to escape
to cairy the news to Spain. Comodore
Dewey was rewarded with the
rank of Admiral. Commodore Schley
was begrudgingly raised to the rank
of Rear Admiral. Dewey was received
with acclamations of praise and
honor. Scfcley was not ever permitted
to welcome bis supei ior officer
in an official capacity in the hour of
Lis greatest triumph and glory.
Ciptain SampeoQ was made Rear
Admiral and given a prominent aod
conspicious place in the Dewey celebration
for being twelve miles away,
from Cevera's fleet at the time of its
i i _ *ii v?_ y
destruction oy ocniey, wnn uis ueeiB
to the enemy. Schley is a Southern
man and a Democrat. Sampson is a
Northern man and a Republican.
"Ab, there's tbe rub!"
The bondsmen of Col. Wm. A
Neal, late Superintendent of the State
Penitentiary, have Eettled with tbe
Attorney* General and suit against
them have been abandoned. The
Jbondsmen were Col. Wilie Jones, and
Messrs. W. Scott Pope and P. H.
Haltiwanger. The shortage of Col
Neal, for which his bondsmen could
be held liable, was greatly reduced
from what it has been variousl}
claimed to be from $20,000 to $11,0U0,
then down to $2,812 41, according to
tbe shade of the political belief of
tbe person makiDg the estimate.
This amount was paid by the bonds
men, the share of each being $037 47.
Col. Neal all along contended that be
was only short about that amount and
repeatedly expressed bis readiness to
settle with the State whenever it
could be agreed upon as to tbe actual
amount of his indebtedness. This has
been done and tbe money paid, and
the State of South Carolina has not
lost a dollar by Col. Neal's alleged
shortage. Senator Tillman has re
ceived gifts from Cjl. Neal to the estimated
value of $109.0G, which
amount he has paid to the bondsmen.
These gifts were just such ones as
one friend would receive from another
without any compunctions of
conscience, no matter bow scrupulous

Dewey'8 day in New York was a
magnificent and brilliant success.
N?-ver before in the Li>tory of this
country has an American been given
such a hearty welcome by Americans
as was giveu Admiral Dewey on this
occasion. Every State in this great
and glorious old Union was represented
either by soldiers, organizations
or citizens. Thousands of excited
and enthusiastic people, with
the fires of patiiotism burning
brightly upon the altar of their
heart, thronged the thoroughfares to
catch a glimpse of the cocquering
hero as be passed aloDg and to lay their
adtration at his feet as trophies of
love and appreciation for hisbriiliunt
services rendered his country in time
of war. A pleasing incident connected
with this celebration was the
warm reefption given Hear Admin 1
ScLluy, the hero of Santiago. Both
Admirals divided honors evenly.
Tue multitude began pelting Admiral
Scbley and by the time he reached
the stand he was up to his armpits in
flowers. At one time duriDg the festivities
it was as much as Dewey
could do to keep from bugging Schley.
It was a warm, manly recognition of
the worth and merit of a brave and
gentlemanly officer.
Editor Anil, of the Newberry Herald
and News, writes to his paper
from the Governors office in Columbia,
that he does "not believe that
anything will come of this proposed
meeting of Southern mill men to
shut down the mills in order to put
the price of cotton down." This settics
the matter and the painful situation
is happily relieved. The edict
went forth from an eminent lorecaster
of futures and the result was
amazing. Scarcely had the ink dried
on the paper upon which the above
lines where peDned than the world
was electrified, starlit d and amazed at
the upward bound in the price of cotton.
In the language of the great
Western poet, "Great God, what a
found!" From six to nine cents iD
the short period of one da}! Mill
operatives canjnow breathe easy. They
can now live in hope cf having turkey
and trimmings for Cbristmas dinner
without the fear of the mills
shutting down. What a wonderful
prognosticator is Editor Aul!!
Gen Butler now says he did not
advise the "deportation'' of negroes
(which he says implies "force or
coercion*') to Africa; but claims what
he did advise was the gradual and
permanent separation of the races by
voluntary consent. The brother in
black will hardly give bis voluntary
consent to return to the land of his
fathers in darkest Africa, and as the
General say?, "it would be better for
both races," for this separation to
take place, how in the name of common
seDse, can this much desired
end be accomplished "for the good
of both races," unless it be by "force
or coercion?" The negro has tasted
ftm floch nnfH /-if "R yvr*f. tvliiph in
this instance, means five dollars a
mouth, three pounds of bacon and a
peck of corn meal per week and a
little log cabin, with abaojoor mouth
organ or an accordeon thrown in as a
side dish, and he never will consent
to return to his father's house where
the fatted calf awaits his return. He
never came to this country voluntarily,
neither will he leave it so.
The physicians of Columbia are
kicking because they are compelled
to pay city license for the privilege
of practicing their profession and
oftentimes relieving the sufferings of
the poor and needy of the city without
the hope of earthly reward.
They very properly contend that the
large amount of charity work which
they do, and which saves the city a
1 trge sum of money annually, should
eceinpt them from this license.
Our neighbor, the Aiken Journal
and Review, is informed that tie
three editors of the three daily pipers
are each about as funny as the
other. They are the only originil
members of the only crignal mutual

When we went to press la&t wetk
the trial was in progress in the case
of Eadocia J. Mitchell vs. John J.
Barrs, which resulted iu a verdict ft r
the defendant on Thursday morning.
Following tbi3 case came that of

? i:? ...? Ki.?Kt <:7 ft'lO
UCilUIi was UlUUJ^Ut IV1 yi ,VVV
ages fur the killing of her husband,
John Henry Hultiwunger, near HiitOD,
about two years ago. Messrs.
Graham and Nelson represented the
plaintiff aod Messrs. W. H. Lylesard
George Johnstone the railroad company.
The evidence and arguments
were very lengthy, and continued un
til late Saturday afternoon. A verdict
for $1,750 was rendered at 8
o'clock Saturday evening. The attorneys
for the railroad company
gave notice of appeal.
Monday morniog came the trial in
the case of M S. Ruff vs. the Florida
Central and Peninsular Railroad
Company, brought by Messrs. Gra
ham & Nelson. The complaint alleges
damages at $1,950. The plaintiff
boarded a train at Columbia for
Swansea, and at the latter place it
did not stop but carried him on to
Denmaik, where he was put off. Foi
this and several other allegations the
action was brought. The verdict
was for the plaintiff for 8200. Notice
of a motion for a new trial was
given.
Yesterday the second trial in the
case of Debby Risinger, AdmiDistra
I trix, vs. the Southern Railway Com
pany, asking for $1,950 da-ajre
came up for a hearing. This sub
was instituted for the killing of her
husband, Jacob D. Risinger, at Lees
ville, S. C, on January 23, 1897
Messrs. Efird & Dreher and E L
Asbill represented the plaintiff, and
was tried last February term, whet
a verdict of $1,950 was renderec
but which was afterwards set asidt
by Judge Watts, granting a new trial
When plaintiff's testimony was closed
a motion for a non suit was made bj
the attorney for the railroad, whul
was granted.

RETURNING YOUTH.
" I am seventy years
fggg$V?T young," said Oliver
Wendel Holmes when the}
_ asked his age.
'V^True^ enough.
l merry; his
good, and above all ? so was his
digestion.
>.9 man should be old nefore his time
because of a weak stomach, sluggish
liver, shaky nerves and flabby muscles.
There is no need of it. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery cures these
things. It brings back youth to the
feeble because it brings back keen appetite
and good digestion. It tones up the
liver, puts oxygen and life into the
blood, and solid strength into the flesh
and muscles. It contains 110 alcohol to
inebriate or create a morbid appetite or
craving for .stimulants.
"I have never felt better in niv life than I do
now." says Charles Hunwiek. of Lenox. Macomb
Co.. Mich., in a remarkable letter to Dr. R. V.
Pierce, of Buffalo. N. Y. I have take* Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery right :'ong.
I can now walk quite well wiih a cane and hope
to throw even that away before loug. and as I
have had to use crutches for nearly two years. I
think I am doing fine. I do not cough now and
I can eat and sleep like a school boy. I think I
will have to change my mind about ' Patent
Medicines." as I never had much faith in them;
but you must know that I have !>een treated in
two hospitals and by three doctors t>esides, and
received no benefit:*so I think your medicine is
the only medicine for mc."
There is nothing in the world for
constipation like Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. They should be taken in conjunction
with the "Discovery," whenever
any disease is complicated with that
dangerous condition. Nothing else that
may be offered in their place will accomplish
what they will. And their relief
is permanent. Write to Dr. Pierce
for free advice.
