Yesterday America was at war with
Spain, and today hostilities have
ceased. The great events of August
12, 1898, will make the day historical,
the practical termination of the most
remarkable war of history-the day
upon which the protocol was signed
and an order issued for the cessation
of hostilities, the commanding gen
erals being advised that temporary,
if not permanent, peace has been de
clared between the recent belliger
ents-the Yankees and the Dons. In
the war and navy departments where,
for the past four months, every effort
has been made to plan campaigns
and to hurry troops to the front, the
excitement of conflict and the talk of
war and the enemy have been
changed into the complacent pride
of victory, the more deliberate plans
of peaceful occupation and the or
derly government of the plases so re
cently sought to be taken by storm
and force of arms. For, though hos
tilities have ceased in Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines, the Ameri
can armies will occupy these islands
and establish some sort o orderly
government under our flag as soon
and as rapidly as possible. The pro
tocol demands that Spain evacuate
immediately; but it provides for the
appointment of commissions (mili
tary) to meet at Havana and San
Juan to arrange for the evacuation
which means that the Spanish troops
may not actually leave these 'islands
for some months yet-perhaps two or
three. But the islands will pass at
once under our military rule. Porto
Rico will first pass under our com
plete control; for the problem of
transformation there is a very simple
one. The Spanish army is small and
the Porto Ricans are very friendly to
the United States and anxious to get
under the stars and etripes. The
only problem to be met is the depor
tation of the Spanish soldiers. But
Cuba holds a large Spanish army and
possesses a climate which has proven
to be very trying upon American-bred
men-is very unhealthy; so the prob
lem there is not so easy. But by far
the hardest nut which the administra
tion will have to, crack is the one pre
sented in the Philippine question.
Shrewd diplomacy and Yankee ingen
uity will have to be used in settling
the many delicate questions which
the situation there presents, or our
trouble may simply be somewhat
changed in form but only intensified
in character. The deadlock of the
peace commissioners may result in
renewed hostilities with Spain, with
some other possible foreign compli
cation. For Spain has ceded Cuba,
Porto Rico and Manila, and there is
good reason to believe that she re
gards this as the maximum conces
sion which she will have to make,
these were the conditions precedent
to any negotiations for peace. If,
therefore, our commissioners be in
structed to demand a larger conces
sion there than the single grant al
ready made, it is almost certain that
the Spanish commissioners will be
instructed to resist any such demands;
so that a deadlock may result, since
there are five commissioners on the
part of each government, and neither
would have a deciding vote. In that
event, there would be no way out of
the difficulty through the commis
sion, and the problem would revert
back to other means of settlement
possibly a resumption of hostilities.
The international effect of the tempo
rary truce, in that event, has been
considered somewhat by the Cabinet
and other officials. The truce pro
vides that neither side shall make
further preparations for wvar; but such
provisbms are often violated, Spain
will, ino doubt, provide her remain
ing armies with abundant ammuni
tion and provisions; and it is more
than likely that she will send her
Cuba and Porto Rico troops to re
enforce her army in the Philippines,
which, it would seem, she has a per
fect right to do under the terms of
the protocol. But, in that event, she
would be very much stronger there
to resist our attack than sbe is now.
So there are many chances yet that
hostilities may be resumed; for it is
a general rule. recognized by the
highest military authorities, that a
truce always helps the weaker side;
and, in such1 an event, this would not
be an exception to the rule. Of
any Further cession of terriory in the
Philippines, if she sees any indication
of a purpose on the part of France,
or any other country, to stand by her
in that refusal; but it is not known
yet that any further demands in that
direction will be made of her-that
is the sealed volume of the situation
and the President alone holds the key
to it, and no one seems to know how
he is going to use that key. If he
does not do the thing up properly
from the stand-point of our people,
he will be condemned at home; and,
if he does not do the thing up fairly,
from the stand-point of the powers,
he may be involved in deeper trouble
abroad. But, in that event, the peo
ple would stand by him, almost to a
man.
QUESTIONED AND ANSWERED.
St. Paul, S. C., Aug. 24, 1898.
Mr. Louis Appelt, Manning, S. C.
Dcir Sir: I have been reliably in
formed that you made use of the ex
pression, several years ago "that you
did not care to get any anti-Tillman
votes" or words to this effect. As
there are several votes in this vicinity
and a few others scattered over the
county who have never endorsed Sen
ator Tillman for anything, I write
to ask-if you are still of the same
opinion, and would be pleased to
have an answer from you before tie
primary.
Respectfully yours,
R. M. MCKxio-r.
Replying to the above we would
say that we have no recollection
whatever of using the language at
tributed to us, nevertheless, it is pos
sible in the heat of political excite
ment some such foolish expression
might have been extorted from us.
Suppose we did, several years ago
make use of such a nonsensical ex
pression, do conditions never change?
We profess to favor the obliteration
of factional lines, and hope our
friends of the other side wili gladly
accept the truce the dominant ele
ment offers. Why continue strife?
The only way to do away with fac
tional lines is to do away with them
and support no man for office whose
only stock in trade is the factional
blister.
It is a sin and a shame the way
some of the candidates for State offi
ces are conducting their campaign.
-It is a disgrace to the State that should
not be tolerated. Thomas and Evans,
Watts and Floyd should be scratched
off of every mans ticket as unworthy
the people's support.

Norton's Reply to J1. E. Ellerbe's
charges.
Ialins, S. C., Aug. 2, 1898.
Editor Reform' Advocate: Your editorial
reflecting on me has just been called to my
attention. As you and Ellerbe are Sunday
school men I know nothing which suits the
facts in the situation better than the Sunday
school lesson for last Sunday, July 31st
Ahab, Naboth, Jezebel and the sons of Be
lial-Ellerbe, Norton, McKeozie an.1 Petti
grew and Allen, Fore and Moody.
J. E. Ellerbe plays the Abab in covet
osness of Norton's position arnd wants the
congressional vineyard. McKenzie and
Pettigrew play the Jezebel as far ras want of
frocks and brains will permit. The aflida
vit-makers are swift and false witnesses
ater the Reform Advocate has set Norton
on high. .1. E. Ellerbe plays the Ahab
with face to the wall of destiny pouting be
cause he has not been able to trade or
swap Norton out of the congressional vine
yard.
Ellerbe's game of deception and trickery
in 1897 which he is pleased to call a con
tract failed him then. From this trick El
leibe appealed to the people, the elders
and nobles and they repudiated him. El
lerbe then appealed to Norton for a trade.
Norton was telegraphed to Columbia on
Saturday after first primary in 1897 to
come to Florence. When he reached Fior
ence he was informed that J. E. Ell!-ibe was
there ready to support Norton in second
primary upon condition that Norton, if
elected, should not be a candidate tor Con
gres-s in 1898 and support Ellerbe. Eller
be denied this at Conway. See Central
hotel registry Saturday night after first
primary. J. C. Sellers, J. W. Mc~ou'n
and J. E..iontgomery were in Florence.
Ask them about facts. Norton refused to
talk to Ellerbe about the proposed trade
and spurned his conditions. Ed Ellerbe
had fooled Norton in his "contract"' trick.
Norton was a gentleman with Eilerbe until
that fatal night in Florence. No prospects
of atrade tor the vineyard and Mtr. Ellerbe
left Florence Sunday morning gloom y and
angry. He did not make a Sunday school
speech that day. He moaned and turned
his feace to the w'all of envy. Eilerbe had
cursed the "He.tskellite" Johnson, but Nor
ton won't tote fair, he groaned. He won't
trade for the vineyard.
The next Saturday night reports say El
lerbe was at Latta breathing suiphurous
fumes at Norton in the back room of a col
ored man's store and painting bright the
kingdom come of Johnson. Ellerbe s:p
orted Johnson vigorously for the secondI
primary. This was his right. dir. John
son is an honorable gentleman. But why
did Ellerbe offer to support Norton on con
dition, and when conditions were spurneda,
fight Norton and support the. other man?
Hereby hangs a tale that made Norton a
rascal at once, notwithstanding E:lerbe
had biasted ol "splitting his shirt" mnaking
Norton Comptroller General in 1894.
.1There comes new upon the scene the po
litical tyros, McKenzio and yong Petti
grew, playing Jezebel for Ahab Elierbe.
Finding Ellerhe in the pouts with his face
to the wall they chided him and said: "Artj
thou not a great man in politics, more aris
tocratic than Norton. the little backwoods
fellow who never went to South Carolina
or Wofford College? Arise and we will de
liver the vineyard to thee. 0 King Ahab:'
So McKenzie goes about writing and tele
graphing and seeing the people and schem
ing against Norton.
These Jezebels write articles and seal
them with Ellerbe,' signet and send forth
to have Norton stoned, andc with Ellerbe
like bluster, make a great show of evidence
frca iie affidavits of the sons of Belial,
Alen, Fore and Moody. Joseph Allen,
yo: first witness, gent. emen, false to
truth and honor, false to his neighbors and
family, tock 8700 from his neighbor, P. W.
Bthea, and left the State and his family.
This man .Ulen swe.ars Norton lied him
out of $3.75 in lumber. Sorry for Mr. Al-;
lea. I can forgive Lim" for not paying forI
his swearing to a falsehood. To publish
this is painful, but Ellerbe, McKenzie and
Allen torce it.
Thomas Fore, the second son of Belini,
poor fellow. He is an unworthy son of a
noble father. Some of Mr. For,-s neigh
bors know his trouble. He was e.m(ht do
ing things not honorable while a tenant
Thirty-four dollars worth of cottou cap)
tured as Fore tried to slip it aw-ay, is the
cause of his false afflidavit.
Mr. Biggs swears he bought unchinery
from Norton on which taxes were not paid.
THe is mistaken. I never saw Biggs until
after the Bennettsviile mieeting. If- bonught
machinery from Mr. Townsend in which I
wis interested at one time, but not when
Biggs bought it.
I think Mr. Biggs an honorable tuan,
but he has been deceived, and from
his statement, mainly by one C. G. Bass,
an ard:ent friend of Ellerbe, who obtained
affidavit from Biggs. J. E. E!lerbe said at
Bennettsville that Leon Bass carried nmoney
from Biggs to myself for machinery. Leon
Bass says by certiicate sent me that El!er
be is mistaken. Biggs says it is not so and
I say it is false.
Now comes the chief son of Belia:. T. C.
Moody, the political godfather and brother
i-law of J. E. Ellerbe. I could go among
Moody's old lien customers doubtless arnd
find t~hose who would swear probably they
would not believe hirm on his oath when
interested. I am sorry that A. Q McDullie
and Charles Gregg are not livmn,. No, I
take that back-I wouid not. I roomed
with Moody during the sessions of the Leg
islature 1886-87 and 1890-91. I have been
his guest at his own house at times since
1873. Any effort ou my part to sant Moodiy
atter these associations would oniv show
niv own weakness of character antl utter
disregard for the Proprieties of decency
and demands of civilized Christian life.
In 1888 Mr. Moody wrote me urging me to
stand for re-election to the I-IOuse. Thus
for ten to eighteen years after the conflict
over the negro lien cotton Norton was a
gentleman whose companionship Moody
sought. Now twenty-five years aitter when
his brother-in-law Ellerbc wants to danr
Norton to get to Congress, he paints, or
would paint. Norton a rascal. Envy, what
wilt thou do?
Here is the crime. In 1873 1 took a lien
on a negro, finding in the fall that Moody
had a prior one. I offered Moody the
money for his which he refused. This
boded no good to we or the negro. as
Moody's partner in this transaction was of
doubttul character. Aft-r conference with
Mr. Williamson. in whose Louse the cotton
was, having offered Moody his money, I
did let the negro have team and wagon to
save himself if possible. These are the
bases for Moody's chargeof cotton stealing.
Clever Aloody!
Mr. Moody evidently has tried to deceive
the public by his associations with me since
1873, or now tries for some course to dam
age me. Which. Mr. Moody?
Now, Mr. Editor, there is one more, Mr.
E. D. Mayers. He has published already
a card saying that the use of his name by
Ellerbe was unauthorized and that he
voted for me in the past and would do so
in 1898. Mr. Ellerbe made it appear at
Bennettsville that he had an affidavit from
Mr. Mayers. This was a deception, as El
lerbe had no affidavit. It was a desperate
game or a desperate man. About twenty
years ago Mullins was a hard town; no
churches, no schools, no day schools, but
bar rooms plcntA. I led the fight against
this condition and was Compensated by
many curses. The fight spread into local
politics and church before closing. Grow
ing out of this fight a scurrillous circular
letter denouncing m3 was published,
signed by, but not written by Mayers.
Mayers is an uneducated man and was
misled by my chief whiskey opponrent and
enemy.
fhis article was written, I think, in 1882.
Mayers soon learned his error and has
voted for me since 1886 or '90 I am
proud of Muilrns, her people, her Sunday
schools, and day schools, her churches and
of her bright future morally and materially.
I am also pround of the fact that Mayers,
after knowing me appreciates may life and
character and supports me. Nor have I
any quarrel with those who differed from
mo honestly then or now. Mr. J. E El
lerbe liad a 'copy of this document at Ben
nettsville written sixteen years ago a ia El
lerb'e-absurdly false. Mr. Ellerbe had
personal knowledge of the facts in this mat
ter and access to church records. When
he read it at Benrnettsville he became the
author and circulator of a wilful, malicious
falsehood, knowing at the timre it was false,
and with malice aforethought deliberately
attempted to destroy a competitor in hrs
mad rage and malignant designs upon
that competitor. Ellerbe is a member of
the same church I am arid a steward and
miuch of the past his home church has been
in the same circuit. He knew or ought to
have known ais these records of the Mullins
circuit show, I am and have been for thirty
years a member of the board of stewards
for this circuit and for sixteen years drs
trict steward, and forty years a member of
the Methodist church.
In his mad ambition and desire to reach
Congress, honorably, if possible, but foully
if necessary, J. E. Ellerbe in his attack on
rry church rccord and character runs delib
erately in the face of the faicts as shown by
these records and ruthlessly and wilfully
falsifies them.
I have been continuously an ofiicial in
J. E. Ellerbe's own church, in which he is
also a steward, for a period nearly as long
as Ellerbe has lived. Does he slander the
church of his choice or its member?
J. E. Ellerbe knew these facts at Ben
nettsville and knows them now.
J. E. Ellerbe further charges that prior
to primary in 1897 for Congress, there was
an agreement between us which I violated.
This statement of his is flatly untrue.
Eight mutual friends were agreed upon
confidentially to say which was the stranger
in Marion county. Ellerbe then pretended
to be very much opposed to the election of
J. M. Johnson, and wanted the stronger
man onlydo run. (Let Ellerbe say why he
opposed Johnson.) This confidential ar
rangement was at the house of ia mutual
friend, J1. D. Montgomery. He (Montgona
ery) alone of the eight talked withi us both
tgethe-r on the s.ubject. These miutual
friends, Dr. W. A. Oliver, Dr. D. F. Miles,
3. W. Smith, E. 8. Ayers, Douglas McIn
tyre, J. D. Montigomery, W. T. Evans and
J. C. Moody, refused to act and did not de
cile the question. Trhey met salesday in
June, 1897, and with a letter bearing darte
8thi June, Mr. Ellerbe sent me a request
signed by four of these men-rnot one
word about stranger man, and received
more than two weeks after I had seen Mr.
Ellerbe. His claini to an agreemeni is ab
surd as untrue.
Six of the eight mutuail friends supported
me for Congress and only one, 3. C. Moody,
supported Elierbe, rind this because Eller
be in 1896 had tried to make Moody Aud
itor over McClellan.
At Kingstree, by J. E. Ellerbe himself
on the stump, was the first menition I had
ever beard of the South Carolina College
$25) steal, as Mr. Ellerbe called it. I know
nothing of it, and never having heard
about it, could not have circulated any re
ports about it durring last campaign.
I ami not an angel by ainy means, not
p~rfection, but have always in my church
aiff irs and Stats boldly fought for what I
regarded as best regardless of what mren
like J. E. Ellerbo aight say or do. This I
shall do in the future trusting in the justice
and jidgmnent of my God and my people.
Whatever of fault and shortcomings J. E.
Ellerbi may have, these sins are between
him, his God and his people. I have noth
ing to dlo with themi, and except only so far
ts o own defense is concerned, have and
stall Let him Pursue hris own course. 1 am

searclight of truth to be thrown around
