The prospect of peace doesnt't mean that the army will be disbanded. Even after Spain has given up the game there will be work for soldiers. The receipts from the Port of Ponce vare said to have been $20.000 in three days. At that rate it is worth having, and will do a good share toward pay ing the indemnity. ?rn m mi - The latesst information from Wash ington is to the effect that Spain's reply has been received there, and that all the conditions laid down by the United States for peace has been accepted. The general opinion now is that the war will come to an end at once._ _ Wyoming has contributed three times its quota of troops in the pres ent war, leading every other State in that respect. Woman suffrage pre vails out there, and it is meanly insinuated that the men of the com monwealth would rather endure the horrors of war than stay at home under the circumstances. Our government does not need the Philippine Islands, because they are too remote. Unlike Cuba and Porto Kico, which are in American waters, these islands are in Oce?nica, on the border of Asia, 10,000 miles distant from Washington and more than 6,000 from our Pacific coast. The inhabi tants of these Islands are almost barbarians, and it would require a large standing army to watch over them._ The' per capita circulation in the United States on July 1,1898, as esti mated by the treasury officials, on the basis of 74,522,000 population, was $24.74, -which is the highest per capita circulation ever reached in the United States. The-highest per capita reached previous to the past fiscal year was $24.44 in 1892, which was also a year .f general prosperity. The increase . in the money in circulation during the patt twelve months was $2.17 per capita. The State election took place in Alabama on the 1st inst, ' and the Democrats carried the State by a majority of 75,000. At the corres ponding election in 1896 the D?mo cratie majority over the Populists and Republicans was about 40,000. The election was very quiet, not over two thirds of the total vote being polled. The Populists lost heavily everywhere. The Democrats will have ninety mem bers of the hundred in the lower branch of the Legislature. The contest was mainly on State and local issues. The prospect at this time is very bright throughout the South for a big cotton crop, but it would be absurd to predict the size of the crop which will be gathered. August and September are the critical months, and a sudden change in crop conditions is liable to make all prophecies idle. Prices of course may be expected "to depend upon the size of the crop. If the yield should prove to be equal to that of last year, it is hardly probable that even so good a price as last season will be maintained. Our farmers are not anticipating a better price than they received for the staple last sea son, and should it even go lower the ?Treater majority of them are in a bet ter condition to stand it. The end of this war will ead our epidemics of yellow fever, everyone of which comes from Cuba, says thc Atlanta Constitution, and save our country hundreds of millions in pre venting paralysis of trade. But pure ly in a commercial sense the end of thjs war will clear the business hori zon and we will enter on a new era. It will cause the banks, trust and safe deposit companies to disgorge the hundreds of millions of idle capital for investment. New railroadu, new factories, new mills, new mines, new fhips, new commerce will be the result; fevery willing hand will find ready work, and every product of our land and our industries will find ready and profitable sale. War is costly, but whatever this war costs will be abundantly compensated. It is worthy of note that Lieutenant Hobson is a young man of genuine religious devotion. Just prior to starting on his hazardous trip with the Merrimac he wrote his will and mailed it to his parents at Greensboro, Ala. The opening clause of this will reads thus: "For my near and distant future I leave myself without anxiety, in the hands of almighty God." It is also stated that when he started with the ship he sought divine guidance in the accomplishment of his undertaking. Surely under the circumstances such conduct cannot be classed as mere sentiment, but rather as indicative of deep religious conviction. His ex ample, therefore, should prove an inspiration to young men desirous attaining true success in life ; courage to calmly face death. President McKinley's peace tei are decidedly liberal-too much so, fear. However, there may be dir. matic reasons for not demand: everything in the Atlantic and I Pacific under Spanish sovereign The proposition submitted to t Spanish government makes no ch for money indemnity, hut it requi the relinquishment of Spanish auth ity in Cuba, the immediate evacuati of Porto Rico and other islands in 1 West Indies, and one of the Ladre Islands. It is also stipulated tl the United States shall occupy a hold the bay, harbor and city Manila pending the conclusion of t treaty of peace. The American pi pie are both just and generous. Wit out desire for colonial possessioi they yet realize that the world every day growing smaller-electric: and steam are annihilating distam Provoked to war by the inhuman dee of the Spaniards in Cuba, they ha come into possession of certain favor spots in the great seas, and certaii they do not distrust themselves the extent that they will refuse to t minister affairs on these islands, th extending their trade and spreadi the blessings of freedom. What t President demands at the hands Spain is only simple justice to 01 selves,' and that he does not derna more but illustrates the generosity the American people. lo Host of Beef Eaters. Before many days the armies of t United States will be recruited up a beef-eating capacity of about 600 b steers a day. Beef has always be< an important article of diet to tl soldiers of this country, as well as English soldiers, but never in Amei can history has beef been so wide distributed and in such excellent co dition as just at present. The arn in Manila, which will soon numb 20,000 men, is eating beef every di that equals and probably excels i quality the beef furnished to the be hotels in this city, and Manila is undi a tropical sun and nearly 7,000 mili from San Francisco. "The refrigerated beef for the sc diers at Manila," said Com missal General Eagan, "comes from Sydne; Australia. It is the only portion < supplies for the commissary depar ment that is not furnished from th country. It nearly broke my heart t let the contract for that beef t;o tl Australia's. Inave been surrounded, added Gen. Eagan with deliheratioi "by agents representing foreign canne goods and foreign products. The had the tables about my office pile high with samples. Some of thei brought me condensed foods, claimin that a chunk as big as my little finge could sustain a soldier for three day: I turned them all away. Enough i produced on American soil and sol by American business men to feed th officers and soldiers now in thc field.' Gen. Eagan has not received th bill for the beef that goes to Mani) yet, and is unable to state exact) what the total cost will be, althoug he knows pretty nearly, bub th Australians can supply the denian for beef in the Philippines mor cheaply than could be done from thi country. From Sydney to Manila i something over 3,500 miles, about hal the distance from San Francisco t Manila. Refrigerated beef, a luxury ur known to soldiers of the civil war, i also furnished regularly, not only t the soldiers in the American camps but to those in Cuba. Late last wee a ship left New York loaded with 3,00 tons of subsistence stores. She stop ped on the way at Newport News where she was heavily loaded with re frigerated beef for the soldiers in Port Rico. Gen. Miles' troops will hardl; have landed on Porto Rican soil, near ly 1,300 miles from Newport News, be fore this shipload of provisions will b therefor them. The refrigerated bee for Cuba and Porto Rico costs th Government 9.37 cents a pound. "Th United States pays cash for its com missary stores," says Gen. Eagan "and the Government prices for th? best article in the market are the low est. I defy any large business man ti show that he can purchase for les than the Government pays." The army ration provides that bee: shall be given to soldiers at the rat? of a pound and a quarter a day. If i becomes impossible to furnish then witn fresh "beef at any time a pound o: boneless tinned roast beef is substitut ed. If the soldier prefers it he car have pork or bacon u portion of the time instead of his beef. Experience with American troops shows that thej prefer their ration of beef seven days out of every ten. On the remaining three days they generally want port and bacon, not necessarily for use on those days, but for use all the time ic their cooking. The pork is handy in cooking beans and the bacon alsc serves several other purposes. A little figuring will show what an enormous quantity of beef our armies demand at present. Within a few days the total strength of the regular and volunteer armies will be 287,000 men. The daily consumption of beef by this number of men at the rate of a pound and a quarter a day would be 357,750 pounds or almost 180 tons. The com missary department is very exacting about the quantity of beef furnished, and no carcass will be accepted that does uot weigh when closely trimmed down at least 600 pounds. That re quires a pretty big steer. It will be readily seen from these statements that about 600 head of cattle a day arc required to meet this enormous de mand. And yet the commissary de partment is sending refrigerated beef almost daily to points that are fully 11,000 miles apart. This fact alone gives some adequate idea of the vast amount of labor expenditure entailed in feeding au army.- Wallington Post. - mm) ? Wmm - A man/s wisdom is his best friend.

July 27th, and reached Marietta at 115 p. m. One of our party had the misfortune to get sick and grew tired of life and laid down on a railroad track where he knew a train had not passed in two years and gave up, but the others, having compas sion in their souls, went with a heart full of sympathy and a bncket full of water to arouse the sleeper. We left Marietta at 3.15 p. m. and reached Col. Drake's, at the foot of the Blue Ridge, two hours later, where we stopped for the night. Here we laid the sick to rest and listened while he murmured with fervent lips, "Now I lay me down to Wake." The rest of the party then went to the top of the mountain to Fall Creek Falls, which is near Grassy Knob. We can describe the falls best by saying as a tailor did who saw Niagara for the first time, "What a beantiful place to sponge a coat." After a good supper we spent the evening in smoking and talking. Thurs day, after a sumptuous breakfast, we started for Brevard, N. C., bot were held np a short distance from the house by the keeper of the toll-gate at Jones' Gap, who aBked a small remembrance of us We paid a 'lying visit to Conestee Falle, and, after some treacherous passes, we reached Brevard. At Brevard we were entertained in royal style by Col. Joe Duckworth in his beautiful home. On Friday we spent a very pleasant day on Cooper's Bill, and on Saturday we visi ted Ceaaar's Head with a pic nie party from Brevard, composed of six couples. We got a fine view of Table Rock, Green ville, S. C., and Hog Back Mountain ; also a splendid view of the country for miles around ; and got back to Brevard at dark, just in time to miss a good rain. We left Col. Duckworth's Sunday morn ing at 10.30, but were not so lucky on the road. We were caught in a narrow pass and had to take the buggy to pieces and take the horses out and run them all up the hill to let some one pass, but we soon reached Col. Drake's, where we found our sick partner anxiously awaiting our re turn and seemed glad to see us. We left Col. Drake's at eight o'clock, took dinner at Greenville, and, after a hot and tire some drive, reached Williamston at fi.30 p. m., having had a most enjoyable trip B. IND J. A Card. To the friends that I have promised, as well HS the general public, that I would be a candidate for a seat tn the House of Representatives I desire to say that in consequence of a recent trip of pleasure and business .from homo and being sick besides delayed my return home in time to file my pledge according to the rules of the Democratic party for Anderson County, therefore I cannot make the race but will thank one and all for assurances of their hearty support in the future as well as the past, with the hope that at a future day I may yet serve you.

C., July | 2nd, 1898, in the seventy-third year. On j Sunday following, after appropriate fun eral services, conducted by Rev. J. F. Singleton, in the presence of a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends, her body waa laid to rest in the Double Springs Cemetery there to rest until the resurrection morning. She was the mother of ten loving children who mourn her death. She was a kind and loving wife, a noble mother and a devot ed Christian, having been a member of the Baptist Church for half a century. She was the daughter of Msj. Larkin Brown, and lived all her life in a few miles of her father's old home, where she was born, near Fair Play, S. C. She was married to Mr. O. P. Cole in 1843. She has gone to those mansions of peaceful rest, whloh the Saviou? has prepared for those who trust in Him. And, now, if her children and relatives trust in the Saviour as they should, then when this life, with all its sorrows and disappoint ments, is over, they will be able to meet her at the gate of heaven, there to a pend eternity with her. Now her children need not expect her to come back to them, but if they spend this life as they should, then when death comes they can go to her. A FBIEND. The spirit of little John Wilton, the 2- | year-old BOD of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Reeves, took its flight to God, who gave it, on the 4th August, 1898. The little one had been Bick only a day or two with membraneous croup, and his death was quite a 8hock to every one. He was a very bright child and every one loved him. But God jest gave him to them for a short while. He was budded on earth to bloom in heaven. No more will hia prattling voice be heard, and no more going to meet papa. There are so many little toys, dresses and shoes that will make the parents hearts ache. May God pour out bis spirit upon them and soothe their aching hearts, and may they ever look upward to God and say, "Not my will but Thine be done." His precious dust was carried tb Lebanon and buried in the family graveyard to await the resurrection morn, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. J. N. H. Sum merell. The sympathy of the community go out to the bereaved family. DAISY CAUDLE. I - The following is the oath which the Queen of Holland will take at her coronation soon: "I swear to the Dutch people that I will observe and always maintain the Constitution. I swear that I will defend and guard with all my power the independence and the terri tory of the Empire; that I will protect public and private liberty and the rights of all my subjects, and that I will use every means confided to me by the law to foster and uphold the national and individual well being, as a good Queen should do. And may God help me." Then comes the en thronization at the hands of the States General, whose oath, taken first by the president and then by each member individually, closes the ceremony.
