The subject of our sketch is Cap tain Daniel J. Bradham wlo has filled many responsible pobitions with cred it to himself. He is a man of the people, born and raised in Clarendon county, and when but a lad entered the service of his country, and with others from this and neighboring counties suffered the p! ivations that only soldiers can app-rociate; after the fall of Fort Sumter, with the la mented Major Henry H. !jesesne, and others, raised the famons "Sprott Gaurds," which afterwards became "Co, I, 23rd, regiment. By his devo tion to the trust reposed in him he rose from a sergeant to a lieutenant and then later to captain; and while in command of his company at the second battle of Manassas, during that terrific storm of shot and shell with his comrades falling dead and wounded he was struck in the left soulder, and his left arm had to be taken out at the joint. He came home, and when able to go, he assisted in raising a company of boy's and was placed in command of them. His empty sleeve tells the wcrld, in tones of thunder of his love of country. Captain Bradham has always stood high in his native home, and from 186.5 to 1869 he served his country as sheriff, declin ing to hold a commission when the Carpet Baggers came into power- He then returned to his farm, and by his progressive spirit and energy, he became quite a successful planter, and when ever occasion arose his in terest in pnblic affairs was seen and felt; often was his voice raised in be half of struggling democracy and when the noble Hampton sounded the bugle on the mountain tops, .Bradham was among the first to re spond and the Republicans dreaded him. in 1886 the people desiring to show their gratitude for the noble service rendered them, and appreci ating his magnifieent business abil ity, nominated him County Auditor, in which office he served with signal ability until the office of sheriff be came vacant by the death of the la mented Lesesne, whereupon Brad ham was appointed to till the unex pired term, and in 1893 he received the primary nomination for the full term and was re-elected in 1896. He has a clean record of political success, having never been defeated. Captain Bradham was a working member of the constitutional conven tion, and by his conservative course made many friends throughout the State. He was a delegan to the na tional convention wvhi/ j~At forwvard that greatest of leaders, William Jen nings Bryan, and he has served the Democracy in many State conven tions and on the State Executive Committee for years. Captain Bradhanm is a self-made man, a prominent member of the Baptist church, a strong believer in temperance, without being a fanatic, a man of decided convictions, a pleas ing speaker, and by his individual ef forts he has merited a leadership among men. He is now a candidate for Secretary of State, and if the peo pie will turn out to the meetings we feel assured that he will acquit him self so as to win their approval and their votes. As for his own county we can vouchsafe that his people will give him as unanimous an endorse ment as a candidate can receive in an election. If one man holds four aces in the showdown, about all the others hold is their breath. If it wasn-t for the pleasure of tell ing it, lots of people wouldn't acquire knowledge. Chief of Police Bole is honestly endeavoring to enforce the dispen sary law in Charleston, and if the grand jury of that county will now be governed by their oaths, by try ing the parties charged with the vio lation of the law. Instead of trying the law with their prejudices, we predict the days for the blind tiger in Charles ton are numbered. We desire to thank the several edi tors throughout the State for the nice things said about the editor of THE TDIEs with reference to his sug gested candidacy for the State Senate, and we assure them should lie deter mined to make the race and is elected, he will endeavor to make a record which will retlect favorably on the newspaper profession. August Kohn's interesting letters from the Chickamauga camp where the 1st South Carolina regiment is now located are much appreciated by the reading public. It is very evi dent that Col. Tillman hIs never put. that versatile correspondent through the buck and gagging pro cess, judging from the way Kohn keeps Colonel Tillman before the public. That dinner given at the Charles ton Hotel, under the auspices of the New England society, had as two of its dstinguished guests Major J. C. liemphill Of th! NCw and Colri-r ami Col. 1'%. RD. -oth igvd farmIer Wtorao qvtte)o peac-hes, and p: Ve a r.r w :kts to the soldi'r boys inl camp aftr he b-I came a cauli late for Governor. I bese two distinguished gentli-1I have formed sich an atta-hmeut for eacl other that it is believed by many there is an understanding between the two for mutual support. Watson is to endeavor to bring Governor El lerbe into disfavor with the people because Ellerbe refused to do the News and Courier's bidding, and the Nevs and Courier in turn is to give Watson all the support it can, taking care lest its support will be taken as damning Watson with faint praise. The soldiers in camp at Columbia received quite a treat from Candidate Col. I. B. Watson in the shape of several baskets of peaches. Colonel Watson has been raising large quan tities of peaches for market for many years. He has many acres of peach orchards, ard this is the first time we have ever heard of his giving away any of his juicy product. South Car olina has within its bordeis several orphan asylums, hospitals and other beevolent institutions, where ripe peaches would be received with a great deal of gi-atitude, but in all of these years of peach growing, with the various institutions of cbarity and benevolerce, we have never seen or heard where C2ol. R. B. Watson has at any time contr-ibuted a single pec-h to delight the hearts of the fatherless, the sick or afflicted. But since his candidacy for Governor with a remarkable outburst of liber ality he sends to the soldiers' camp, where there are votes, several baskets of the delicious fruit. Well, may-be the soldier votes can be enticed by a few peaches, but we guess not. Just why Colonel Schumpert is making the race for Governor we are at a loss to know, unless it is to take away wvhat is known as cornservative votes from Ellerbe, who is being fought by Watson in the Reform strongholds upon the petty ai-gument that Ellerbe did not use his appoint ing power in the interest of Refoim ers solely, but that he recognized pol itics in his appointment and selected men for their worth and qualifications for the positions to be filled. In Charleston county Watson pounded the Govei-nor on the metropolitan police and wherever he goes he breaks loose on some local dissatis faction and endeavors to lay the blame on the Governor. Schumpert's votes will come from those who, were e not in the field, would go to El lerbe, and as it now stands there may be a second race between Ellerbe and Watson, the former a strong advo cate, both by precept and example, of obliterating factional lines and the maintenance of existing educational institutions; the latter who, by his speeches, does not know the factional war is over, and by his utterances in the constitutional convention, but somewhat modified since, is opposed to our educational instituttons. Joel E. Brunson, the nonminee of the Prohibition party claims the withdrawal of the suggested candi dates of that party, by the State Pro hibition Executive Committee, to be a subterfuge. That is a very serious charge to make against a body of gentlemen who profess to be laboring for a moral principle. "Subterfuge" according to our definition is nothing more or less than, deceit, false-pre tense, an attempt to mislead the peo pie. Webster, says "That to which one resorts for escape or concealuent; ~n artifice employed to escape cen sure or the force of an argument, a shift; an evasion." If Joel E. Brun son, the chosen leader- of a moral principle, declines to make the cam paign because his executive commit tee resorted to a "subterfuge," we do not see how men who are prohibi tionists on principle can endorse the subterfuge by their votes. Those upon the principle of "ails fair, in Love, war, and politics, can resort to any device to capture votes from an unsuspecting people; these men can draw the cloak of religion about their leprous bodies, and becone recruit ing officers for the devil. No, if Brunson is satisfied that the with- I drawal of the prohibition noninces is a subterfuge, and he is the con scientious man he Claims to be, he did exactly right in refu:ing to be a party to the subterfuge, and all of the Caters similarly suggested would raise themselves in the estintit of the people by lllowing Brunson's cx ample. We admired the pluck e(-xhibited by candidate Featherstone, in pick ing up the banner furled by his lea der, and with a display of sincerity, unaided, and we may say single band ed, as far as the stump is coucerned, lhe goes forth to battle for a princi pie, but when we read the gentle mal's manifesto ond relect upon his appeal, we canniot help but condemn his atteWpt to make the church pul pits, the hustings for political haran gues. (rauting that prohibition is a moral question, the fact that men are running for oilice with emoluments attached, drags the quezlian into pol itics, an-I the church pulpit is no place for politics--it would be a desocration for a .reacher to advocate any poli;i cal catuse from a pulpit. and he can Lot inl resp-ISe to be 1 atherstne I appeal advocate the prohibition cause eer for volts in i-al: 'f men who * re running~* for (;illee. We believe it to be the duty of preachers, regardless f dewmina tions, faith or creed, to ;reaeb tel; perence at all times, but there is a great difference between preaching the doctrine of temperence at all times, and making it a specialty dur ing a political campaign and in re sponse to a candidate's appeal to the nreachers, as follows: I ciali upon the ministers to preach pro ibition from their palpits and in private conversation. You cannot afford to do otherwise. I call upon the good women in South Carolina to exe:eise their ininance, and I know that I shall not call in %atin. Your inflneree will tell. Use it, then, for all it is worth. Where has Mr. Featherstone been all this time when others were strug gling for prohibition? We have never seen where he has raised his voice or made the least sacrifice for the cause, until I- makes his bow to the public for votes; then with the ardor of the most zealous he stands forth as the chainpion. Suppose, for argument sake Featherstone is elected gover nor, can he give the prohibitionists the law they are asking for? Of course not, he can only approve a law alter it has passed both branches of the legislature. Governor Ellerbe who is endeavoring to make the dis pensary be in fact, what its origina tors intended it, has time and again said if the legislature passed a prohi bition law he would cheerfully ap prove the bill, although he believes the dispensary law is a more practi cal temperance measure. There is more catarili in this section of the country than alt other diseases put to gether, and until the last lew vears was suposed to be incurable.

Shafter reports to the war Depart ment that a part of his army (includ ing the "Rough Riders," regiment) engaged the Spanish army yesterday about a mile and a half from Sevilla (which is near Santiago de Cuba), and that we lost about 10 killed and 40 wounded. The despatches place the loss at 17 killed and 43 wounded. Our troops fought against tremen dous odds and a superior army, but won the victory. It is thought that a great battle is now in progress before Santiago, and that the battle wvill not be allowed to wane until Santiago capitulates. In this great battle the armies of the Cuban insurgents and General Shafter wvill co-operate with the squadrons of Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schhey, and the com bined land and naval forces will pot' be long in taking the place by storm. The Secretary of War issued an order to-day making t hd army under Major Geneial M1erritt (which consti tutes the Phillipine expedition) the th army corps. Both General Mer ritt's and General Shafte 's forces are to be increased as rapidly as possible. The Yale and tbe Harvard are nowv on their way to Santiago de Cuba: with 3,000 more men for Shafter, and as soon ias they can return another expedition of troops will be sent and the dispatch of troops will be contin ued until our Cuban army has been made superior in numbers to the Spanish forces on the island--prob ably 20,000 more troops being sent in all, additional to wvhat is there; and these re-enforcements together with our army and the Cuban army already there will put our side of the contest on equal footing with the en Iemy, if it does not give us a decided alvantage. Some doubt is enter tained in official circles as to what is the force of Spain's army in Cuba. The administration does not want to be overnmatched in numbers on the Iisland; so in order to make sure of commanders are to be amply sup plied with troops. The Spanish cause will sust'tin a severe loss when San tiago falls; and fall it will within the rext few days, if it has not already fallen when this letter reaches its realers. It is reported that Madrid is almost panic-stricken over the sit uation at Santiago; and that the Spanish general, Linares, entertains no hope whatever of being successful in arms against General Shafter, Gen eral Garcia, Admairal Sampson and Cominodore Schlev-all of whom will confront hin in an assault upon Santiago do Cuba-if they are not doing so now. It is reported that Admiral Cau ara's fleet has sailed, but its destina tion is uncertain. Some reports have it that the objective point is Manila; others say that the objective point is American waters. But it is aunoune ed as the determination of the Admi n istration that, if Camara's fleet sails from Cadiz and attempts to reach Manila by way of the Suez Canal, our ships will be despatched to the shores of the Peninsula Kingdom and bom bard Cadiz, or some other Spanish city along the coast-that we will carry the war into Africa, as the say ing (es. Of course, there may be sorne ticture of the Spanish bluff in I this threat but toere is no doubt that such a imanoeuvre would have the effect of muaking Spain sue for peace eore speedily tha our policy of at tacking only her colonies. The work of the present session of Cougress is about at an end. Tiie House has finished its work and is now waiting for the Senate to act upon some important measures before it--ihe Iawaiiau-annexation resolo tion, ti;e Nicaranga Canal and Ihe ibankruptcy b~ill.

Jews gave up their lives in the ill-fated Maine-eleven of them it is stated, out of 266-they suffered on the Winslow, and are with Dewey at Manila. More than this, the statement was made by a speaker at the Publication society banquet on Sunday' night that Jewish blood was in the forefront, at Manila; nay, that Deyey himself is a Jew ac cording to Jewish doctrine, unless his mother renounced her faith before his birth; for she was a Jewess, and under Jewish law and custom, the child follows the religion of the mio ther.-American Hebrew. r~Are You Weak;i Weakness raanifest~s itself in the loss of ambition and aching bones.
