Anderson Intelligencer. PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY J. F. CLTNKSCALBS, \ EDITOKS AND a C. LANGSTON, J PBOPBZSTOBS. TERMS: ONE YEAR.fl 50 SEX MONTHS . 76 WEDNESDAY, AUG. 17, 1898. It is claimed that the wheat crop now being harvested in the West will make this year's yield the largest on record in this country. The general opinion seems to be that the race for- Governor has nar rowed down to Ellerbe and Feather stone, who will have to make thc second race. Anderson County farmers have raised a good wheat crop this year, but still there will not be enough to up ply the home demand. With wheat at its present price there is no reason why the farmers ?of the State should not raise all our people consume, and keep a large sum of money at home that otherwise would enrich the west tern producer. President McKinley has taken oc casion to express his gratitude for the coidial support given him in the con duct of the war by the press, regard less of politics, and he thinks it will he of incalculable benefit to the coun try by showing to the world that how ever much we may differ among our selves as to domestic politics, we are all Americans .when it comes to con fronting a foreign foe. All the cotton mills in South Caro lina are doing well, earning good divi dends for their stockholders and keep ing right at the head of the cotton manufacturing industry in the South. The proud distinction which this State occupies in leading all other Southern States in the cotton mill business has been won by hard and intelligent work, together with the many natural advantages offered by South Carolina in this, special field of industrial development. No matter how much it has cost or may cost to settle the Cuban question, the fact that sectional prejudice has been.sweptaway on both sides is worth more to the country now and will be worth more in the future than the war will cost, no matter how large the sum may be. A great burden has been lifted; a dark shadow has been lifted, and. in spite of war and its portents, the whole nation stands in the sunlight, reunited and animated by a single patriotic purpose. Secretary Alger has1' instructed the war department officials to begin the work of preparing for the military oc cupation of Cuba. It is estimated that at least 50,000 American soldiers will have to be sent to the island. They will have to garrison all the cities and towns until the form of government to be allowed the Cubans is created and in running order. It is proposed to use in garrison duty volunteer soldiers who have not yet had a taste of military life outside of the great peace camps. The nations are running over one another in their eagerness to testify affection for the United States. The Eagle looks on placidly, not unwilling to respond to sentiments of amity, evem when it knows well enough that they are merely verbal and conven tional, and the mask of quite another set of feelings. It is not so easy as it may look to pull the falcon's hood over ihe eyes of our wary and watch ful National bird, just now in more need of all its resources of vision than ever._ Dimes have been pouring upon Sec retary Long of the navy department, contributed by patriotic Americans who want to build a battleship to re place the Maine. Somebody started an endless chain to this end, and the secretary has tried his best to break the chain. To such of the contribu tors iis gave their addresses the money was returned with a note that he had no authority under the law to receive it, and that the object seemed to be otherwise provided for, as Congress has specifically appropriated money for the construction of another battle ship to be known as the Maine. When the United States of America had the temerity to deolare war against the Kingdom of Spain, there was scarcely a European nation that had any idea that the "American pigs" could fight. The United States hav ing always been a peaceful nation, given to the prosecution of business, with no standing army to amount to anything, presented a ridiculous spec tacle to the average European. Three months of active and aggressive war fare has served to open the eyes of the world on the subject of Uncle Sam's warlike capabilities, and Europe has revised her opinion. So thorough ly convinced on this subject are the European nations that not one of them would willingly jump into a war with the United States, and it is the judg ment of the best military critics of the age that America can hold her own with the strongest. (tar Soldier Boys in Florida. Headquarters First S. C. V. I., Camp Cuba Libre, Panama Park, Fla., August 13.-It seems that very little attention will be given to or interest felt in the coming elections by the boys of the 1st South Carolina volun teer infantry, although at the same time they all express a desire to vote, and that, too, for the best man to fi/l the office. But how is one to make a selection away from home when he can only see through the newspapers that the candidates are simply indulg ing in personal criticism and hurling stinging epithets at each other, and seem to have lost the true political aims pertaining to the office for which they are aspiring. NoWj since the war is over and peacj is assured, there seems to be quite a different feeling coming over the men from that of rushing into Cuba or Porto Rico. The men take the stand that they did not volunteer to police and clean up the streets of other countries and cities, fas the prospect is the army of occupation will have to do this in Havana.) but that they volunteered to fight for the honor and dignity of this free Ameri can country of ours, and at the same time they realize that they are bound by their obligation to serve the United States, to go anywhere ordered during the period of enlistment, (two years.) But we all have confidence in the good judgment of the head officials of our Government, and will, of course, bend to their decision. Two more names were added to the deserter list of this regiment to-day, making a total now of 19 men. It is a pity for these young men to have acted as they have, for it will be a stigma on them for the rest of their lives, and besides this, they will be sooner or later apprehended by the Government, and must pay the penalty of desertion. They need not think they can escape, for the reward is too nice a sum to be overlooked by our civil authorities for arresting and de livering deserters. If these young men, wherever they are, have any friends who take any interest in them, they would do them a great favor to advise them, and try and get them to return to the regiment and surrender themselves before the regiment is dis banded or sent to a foreign country, so that they (the deserters) may be tried for the offence by their own peo ple, and besides the law is not near so stringent on a deserter who returns on his own account as it is on one who has to be arrested and brought back. It would be well, too, to bear in mind that should the entire volunteer afmy be discharged in the next ten days or serve the whole two years of enlist ment, and then ten years or even more after that time, should any of these young men be caught they would be tried and treated just the same as if they were caught to-morrow. Company A, commanded by Capt . C. A. Milford, was detached to-day from the regiment and sent to Jack sonville to act as provost guard for ten days. No better body of men, commanded by a more competent com mander, could be selected for this work. We were all very glad to-day when Begimental Quartermaster Duncan opened a letter from our amiable and much loved quartermaster, Capt. Joseph E. Jarnigan, saying he had arrived safely at home and stood the trip very well and was feeling much better. God-speed his early and com plete reoovery, so he can soon return and bc with us, for we miss him much. -Neics and Courier.
