'I here Is no lil.le interest in South j Carolina and outside I'o our Slate, too, for that matter-- in the specula tions as m what is lo become of Pori Royal as to hor naval standing, lt .viii b<> retailed that there bas al ways boen more or less trouble there with tile men connected with the na vj department, md in all tin- inci dents that have transpired at thal port "pop-skull" or "blind tiger" li quor bas played an unsavory part. Ami to ;ill appearances there has IKM-ii no great effort locally to mend tb?' situation. An interview with the new Secretary of tho Navy is Inter esting in the extreme in connection with those tacts. We quote from a Washington dispatch: The Secretary said that lie was most hopeful ol' making that place (Pori Royal) the equal of what it bad once been in its best days, when workshop;-, were running full blast, when Hie island upon which it is lo ented was alive with officers and their families, and when everything seem ed to indicate a long and pros|ierous futuie. He depicted what once bad been done there, and said that ho saw little H ?ison why tho same things, or even better things, could not be nc complisbed in the future. Then, turning suddenly to those who had called upon him. he said that there was one tiling that would have to be done before he would move a peg. '"Stop the sale of 'blind tiger' I* QUOT to tho men at the barracks," b ? sail*, "and you will seo Port Royal uk s Bom like the rose in spring-time." Ono thing must lie done, he maintain ed, before he felt that be could take stops to rehabilitate the station-tibe .""ir'f flro'i'"' .?b" 'nn'"' station is localed IHUAI enforce ti e liquor laws. "Carry out your stnt he said, and you will res ? the iwno!'.is j ou now wl< in Ketring y ?ur .station como to the front, iga In Min instead or a .. nail and ol-.u.. clplinary school you will see a place that not only the people of the im mediate section, but those of the en tire country, will bo proud to call their own." Port Royal is anxious to regain her one-time prestige as a naval sta tion. The question is, does she want io do so sufficiently to first rid her self of ber obnoxious "tigers"? Down in that neck of tho woods "Ephraim is joined to his idol" to a degree that, is astounding to outsiders. Those Herman doctors in New York have disagreed about their tubercu losis "( ur<-" and they all seem to be going into the "turtle soup" business But they were friends long enough to see ttiat they got a million and ;i half of American dollars invested in their company. "When doctors disagree somebody has to suffer." REV. S. A. NETTLES IN SCRAP. Ships Faro of Another Minister < barges to Ile Preferred. Spartanburg, May 20. Rev. s. A.

T!ie building is the proper ty of Mr. .Nettles and it is said that Mr. Nettles came over to Spartan burg to check over the rent account and to make further contracts. There was a misunderstanding, known only to the participants, when it is said Mr. Nettles accused Mr. Chick, who is by trade a painter, of having given bis brother an underhand deal in reference to some paints. Mr. Chick is said to have denied the charge, when Mr. Nettles said, 'Well, when you Insult ruy brother you in sult me," and Mr. Chick, turning his head, was slapped on tho side of his face, leaving, it is said, an ugly mark made from tho contact sustained with thc spectacle frames worn by him. After the disillusionment was passed, lt is said that Mr. Chick gave Nettles a short talk In real earnest as to the ethics of their high calling. It ls ?aid Mr. Nettles refused to make any apologies and Mr. Chick asserts that his friendship with the offend ing divine wiii cease and that he will MATTERS AT FA I II FLAY.
