Having heard the vote of Senator Ap
pelt on the Ilderton bill was misunder
stood by some of his constituents, we will
make this explanation. The bill provided
for the appointment between the races of
the free school fund, which means that the
money paid in by the whites should go to
the white children, and that paid by the
colored should go to that race. It was made
clear by the lawyers of the Senate that such
a bill conld not stand the test of law, never
theless, it being regarded by Senator Ap
pelt a just measure. he voted for it. in
spite ot the constitution. The impression
of some is, that Senator Ilderton's bill,
meant a division of the school fund be
tween the races; this is an error, it was to
apportion the fund, and if the constitution
was not in the way the bill woall have
been enacted into law, and our white
ebildren would have the full benefit of
every dollar paid into the treasury by the
white taxpayers; and the law now stands,
the money is disbursed according to the
enrollment, and there being more colored
children enrolled than white, the colored
race get the lion's share of the school mon
ey, whtn the fact is, their parents pay
but a small portion of the school t.&xes.
Dangers of the Grippe.
The greatest danger froml La Grippe is of
its resulting in pneumonia. If resonable
care is used, however, and Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy taken, all - danger will be
avoided. Among the tens of thousands
who have used this remedy for la grippe we
have vet to learn of a single case resulting
in pneumonia which shows conclusively
that this remedy is a certain preventive of
that dangerous disease. It will cure la
grippe in less time than any other treat
ment. It is pleasant and safe to take. For

Meeting of Harry Benbow Camp.
Ca - p Harry Renbow of the Confederate
Veterans held their annual meeting in the
court house last .ilonday and between fifty
and sixty of the gray-haired and battle
scarred survivors of the once beloved but
lost cause were present.
Col. David W. Brailsford, the command
ant of this camp, presided over the meeting
and Adjutant S. P. Holladay acted as see
retary.
The Rev. Dr. S. P. H. Elwell, who is
grand chaplain of the State Confederate
Veterans' Association, was present and
opened the meeting with prayer. Dr. El
well made a fervent prayer and thanked
God that while the ranks of this gallant
command were rapidly being thinned, yet
there were a goodly number who had not
yet been called and were spared the pleas
ure of uniting and shaking hands with
each other and talking over the many hard
ships which they had borne together.
Colonel Brailsford announced that since
the last meeting of the camp death had in
vaded its ranks and removed one of its
most esteemed members, Mr. Moses Levi,
and that the first business in order would
be the appointment of a committee to draft
suitable resolutions upon the death of this
departed member. A committee of five
were appointed, consisting of Capt. D. J.
Bradham as chairman and Rev. James Mc
Dowell, Major Land and Messrs. R. B.
McKight and T. M. Mims. The commit
tee retired and presented the following res
olutions:
It is always the duty of a soldier to obey
the orders of those in authority over him.
While in war we obeyed the orders of our
officers because we believed they were vest
ed with a knowledge of what was for the
best interest of our country,and with pleas
ure we executed their commands because
we felt we were fighting for our land and
common country. But there is a higher
Commander than any who ever drew sword
and one more just than ever human officer
proved to be; one whose authority is al
ways to be obeyed and never questioned.
And now
Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God,
the great Commander of the universe, to re
move from our ranks by the grim hand of
death our brother and companion,our com
rade in war and our friend and citizen in
times of peace, Moses Levi.
Resolved, That we, the Confederate Sur
vivors of Clarendon county, in meeting as
sembled, desire to pay a slight tribute to
the memory of our deceased brother and
comrade.
Resolved, That in the death of Moses
Levi we have lost a companion, one who,
even though he had not the incentive of
American birth to make him love our coun
try, yet being adopted by our country he
loved it anyhow, and when troubles arose,
espoused its cause and was willing to fight
for the land of his love and adoption. At
the opening of the war Moses Levi volun
teered to fight for the Confederacy, and
along with those of Clarendon's sons who
were willing to place their lives upon the
altar of their country, fought nobly and
bravely for the common cause.
Resolved, That in his death our county
and community have last a noble citizen
who possessed a big and open heart, who
was always ready and willing to help the
distressed and those in want.
Resolved, That we deeply deplore his
death, for we feel that we have lost a true
companion and a worthy comrade, and our
county and State a noble-hearted, generous
and good citizen.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread upon our minute book, a copy be
presented to the family .of the dieceased,
and that a copy be given THEz MANNG
TIES Ir publication.
When the chairman of the meeting open
ed the house for remarks upon these reso
lutions. Col. H. L. Benbow was the first to
address the veterans, and in most touching
ad feeling terms spoke of the virtues of
this departed member. Col. .Benbow said
that he could not only testify to the faith
fulness of Moses Levi as a soldier, and
one who was ever ready to perform every
duty assigned him asa soldier, be that duty
ever so arduous,but that he knew him to be
a man who was ever ready to befriend the
poor. He concurred heartily in every word
that had been said of him last week in this
paper, and then he had not been done jus
tice, so great were the generous qualities of
this man. While Col. Benbow spoke only
as his feelings dictated andt without prepa
ration, yet his remarks were most touching
and brought tears to the eyos of some of his
hearers.
Capt. D, J. Bradhamn also paid a beauti
ful tribute to the deceased in speaking
upon the resolutions.
Some time was then spent in attending
to some routine business concerning the
trip of the veterans to Charleston to atteud
the grand reunion in May, and when the
meeting adjourned the veterans felt that
they had passed one more mile-post on the
road through life, and while at every meet
ing they are calledI upon to pay tribute to
some departed member, yet they were
thankful that so many are left to enjoy
these meetings.

New Zion Letter.
Editor THu TimEs:
1 will give you a sketch from onr literary
sovietv read by two of our young ladies on
the Cuban War. So well dil they defend
the cause I would not venture to 5-y who
won.
First Lady-Resolved, That the United
States was justifiable in Cuban defence.
Spain at the close of the sixteenth cen
tury held posession of the West Indies.
Mexico and Florida Spanish explorers trav
ersed a portion of the Southern States, also
the Pacific coast, all of which they claimed
by discovery. The conquest and discover
ies made Spain the richest aud most pow
erful country in Europe. The English
subsequently occupied and settled Caro
linas on the Atlantic coast, consequently
,there was war between Erngland and Spain.
By force Spain took the country from the
Indians; the English afterwards took pos
sesion of the Atlantic coast. Spain was
then confined to the West Indies, consist
ing of Cuba, Porto Rico and adjacent isl
ands. Spain since then inled Cuba with
despotic rule, never considering the educa
tional and religious freedom of her sub
jects, holding the scepter over them purely
for revenue. Patience no longer proved to
be a virtue and Cuba rebelled for relief.
Spain conquered, but they would not give
up, continuing to fight-not with large ar
mies, but in small bands, pretty much on
the style c the Revolutionary war. This
condition continued so long the United
States having large money interests in
Cuba, offered, through the President, her
s--rvices to influence Spain to have a better
government for the Cubans, which was re
fused. Congress passed resolutions and
speeches were made by our ablest men;
they would not heed, therefore things were
brought to a crisis by the blowing up of the
Maine in the harbor of Havana, one of our
tine war vessels; this ship had been sent
there to protect our Consul General Lee.
President McKinley ordered an examina
tion of the cause; the experts reported it
was from the outside. Spain was then of
fered an opportunity to pay damages; she
stubbornly refused, then this great nation
had no other way but to declare war.- Con
gress passed strong resolutions to declare
war, but the President asked for time so
Spain might reconsider her folly. Con
gress ordered the President to declare war,
voting men and money. And for a nation
to go into war and spend two hundred and
fifty million dollars to free Cuba and not
regain something has never occurred since
the world began, therefore the unanimity
of the vote by Congress on Cuban measures
eradicates any thought that the United
States acted for any gains. If the United
States was in the wrong, why did all na
tions stand alool? No, not one of them
raised a finger to help Spain; for this rea
son I say the United States was justifiable.
NEGATIvE.
Second Lady-The question before fis re
quires a great deal of study for preparation
in order to discuss it well, still we hope
you all will be considerate with us and give
as all your sympathy. I will agree that the
question is too deep for u3 to make a good
debate, yet we will do what inexperienced
debaters can do with little -preparation.
As one of the negative side I believe the
United States was not justifiable in inter
fering in the Cuban cause. Some say that
we must have recompense for the destruc
tion of the Maine. We say the Maine
ought never to have been -on Cuban shores;
if that ship had not been intguding on hos
tile waters she would not have been blown
up. It is true that enough lives were lost
on that ship to be avenged, but if we place
ourselves in danger knowing it at the time
we should not be displeased at the results.
The Cubans were workinig for independ
ence; did not we do the same thing just a
little more than a century ago? If we had
let them alone perha'ps they would have
gained that some time; but have they got
what they wanted now? No, the ruling
power has just been transferred and no
doubt the OUited States will have to fight
them to keep order on the island'. -They were
fghting for independence and the United
States interfered on the excuse of freeing
Cuba, yet when the war is over Cuba is not
free. If the natives rebelled, will not that
cause more trouble? Besides- a standing
army must be kept there..- Is not that an
extra expense? And just think of placing
our whole republic among' hostilities, just
on account of acquiring the Phili ppines. It
Iis true our commerce nas been increasing
rapidly, but we do not need these islands
to increase it; for rapid developments
commerce require's peace. When a few
weeks ago there was a rumor of war be
tween Great Britain and France the quiver
that went through the commercial world in
Britain arrested commerce at many points.
New York was secure beyond the zone of
disturbances; there was no war rumor
which affected the repu:>ic. Great Britain
was within the zone and her business was
disturbed. Should we undertake to hold
the Philippines we immediately place the
whole republic within the zone of wars; it
must be remembered in itself destructive
to commerce.
As a last thought concerning the results
of this war I would like for you all to re
member how many poor heart broken
mothers and wives there are in our coun
try caused by the Uoited States defending
Cuba. Every life that was lost left its
mourners behind it. LnN.

We Love to be Encouraged
By 'Our Home Folks.
We feel that we are deserving of the support of the people of
Clarendon.
FIRST-Because we are a native born son of Clarendon Coun
ty. Many of our friends can well remember when we were only a
farm lad, but by hard work and close attention to business we have
pulled ourself up alongside of the great mercantile giants of the
country.
SECOND-Because we have endeavored to give to the people
of Clarendon a market second to none in the State, and in doing this
we have endeavored to give to our patrons the newest and best
goods that could be found in the markets of this great country. It
has been one of our greatest ambitions to refrain from offering cheap,
trashy auctiou goods in our place of business. We delight in offer
ing our patrons new, fresh goods; old goods that have been layed
away for years will not give satisfaction it matters not how well they
look-they are rotten. It pays you to examine goods before you
I buy them.

WALSHTHE SHOE MAN
LSHOF SUMTER?
He's moved; you will find him in store under Opera
House. You can't miss it; just look up for the city clock
and he's -right under it.
His stock of Shoes is full, and if you go there, he sells so
cheap you'll really be glad "cotton is low."
Mr. Ben Cuttino, an old Olarendon man, and
practieadl Shoemaker, is with him.
I value my Clarendon trade and will always try to give
you satisfaction.
