Twelve months ago the great naval battle took place in Manila b~ay. It was on the first day of May that Dewey astounded the world by his wonderful success in destroying Mon tejo's fleet, without losing an Ameri can sailor or an Amer.can ship. It was Dewey's guns that planted the Stars and Stripes on Asiatic soil, and by doing so placed the United States on the list of world powers. It was a mnagnificient feat of arms, and in the language of thc Charleston Post "There are some who say the Manila triumph was a small affair, and that Dewev's victory was a foregone con elusion of the engagement. Such is the view expressed by some Germans now. But when Dewey's squadron sailed from Hong Kong for the Phil ippines, the German officers at that port, with nearly all others, regarded the sally as a rather desperate affair, for the Americans. And we must be gin our consideration of the exploit at the point of sailing from Hong Kong, not from the time when the McCullough. returned to the English port with news of the victory. It is clear enough now that Dewey was sure to win, but who would have said as muzh when the commodore sailed from Manila? "TheAmerican fleet entered the har bor of Manila with the prospect that complete victory only would save it from annihilation. A partial success would net have served. The ships were thousands of miles from their home ports, other stations were closed to them, most of the nations were un friendly disposed to their colors. If they failed to destroy the enemy's fleet and make a station at Manila, they could get no supplies and would be practically helpless. The harbor of Manila was presumably fortified and guarded against hostile approach. It should have been. It was a place readily defended. With expectation that the Spaniards had taken all pre cautions that reason would dictate, Commodore Dewey headed his fleet into the harbor's mouth, past the frowning Corregidor and into the broad bay. Safely through the nar row channel, he formed his ships in battle line, swept forth and back along the enemy's position, and shot the ships of Spain to pieces. All the time his vessels were engaged by the shore batteries, by no means to be despised. These were silenced and taken in possession. And all of this without loss of a man and with prac tically no damage to the ships of the American squadron." Jacob Pulitzer, the owner of the New Yoa World, regards the free silver issue a shadow across Villiam J. Bryan's path to the Presidency. Perhaps Bryan would rather be right than President. The government is taking steps to stop literature from going through the mails -which has a tendency to cause the soldiers in the Philippines to become dissatisfied. The ground is taken that literature criticising the administration's war policy adversely, is not proper to fall into the hands of men in the service. The Charleston News and Courier was an important factor in the deal which brought the Southern to Char leston, and the business community and property owners of that city should appreciate it. There is no gain saying it, the News and Courier may not always think like us in pol itics, but when it comes to business, and the commercial interests of Char leston, there is no harder worker to be found anywhere. We congratulate the News and Courier and Charleston for the recent windfall to lower Caro lina. The great Southern Rail Road Com pany has leased the South Carolina and Georgia, and by the transaction Charleston is given the very desira ble position of having the gates of competition thrown open for her, and with this advantage we see no reason why Charleston shall longer remain the tail end of the progressive com mercial procession. The Atlantic Coast Line, and the Southern com peting with each other, together with a magnificient harbor where the ships of the world may enter, is bound to wake upCharleston and help the entire lower portion of South Carolina. With her additional facilities the mon eyed people of the city should go to work right away to recover her lost patronage, and turn the flow of cotton from Wilmington back to Charleston where it naturally belongs. We con gratulate Charleston upon her pros The war despatches for the past few days indicate a cessation of hos tilities in the Philippines. Overtures for peace have been made to General Otis, by representatives ot Aguinaldo, and rejected because Otis declined to recognize the Filipino government. He demanded an unconditional sur render which was taken under ad visement. The Filipinos are willing to lay down their arms if our govern ment will give them their indepen dence with an American protectorate, a government and a relationship sim ilar to that which exists in Canada. It is clear that General Otis does not intend to agree to any thing short of an absolute surrender, regardless of what the claims have heretofore been. The Filipinos fired upon American soldiers, and they must give up their all, and take what we are disposed to give them. By the time Uncle Sam's Krag-Jorgensen missionaries finish pleading with the Filipino savages to become civilized, the islands will be in excellent condition to receive Chi nese emigration. The war in the Philippines is not ended yet, nor will it be for years to come; there may be a temporary hold-up, but it will break out again. Uncle Sam celebrated "Dewey Day" last Monday, by paying Alphonso $20,000,000 in accordance with the promise made for the cession of the Philippine Islands in the Paris treaty. Uncle Sam banded the chauge over to M. Cambon the French Ambassa dor, who is representing Spain at present. Now that our philanthropic Ruler, has bought and paid for the Philippine Islands, Alphonso ought to be required to put him in possession. However we must not only pay, but we must give up a lot of lives and more money before we can get into the promise land. The Filipinos have expressed a de sire to stop fighting, and we have no doubt that they are about run out of ammunition and supplies, but they want to govern themselves, even with the United States overseeing the work; as we understand it, their proposition was rejected, and in place of it, this government is willing to give the Filipinos a chance to see if they know how to govern themselves, of course reserving the right to judge. It seems to us that there is very little difference, and before many weeks an adjustment will be had. Will this stop war in the Philippines? We doubt it exceedingly. Spain tried va rious ways to pacify her Colonial po sessions, and all of her efforts failed, as fast as one method was introduc ed, a new outbreak occurred, and thousands of lives and millions of treasure was fruitlessly spent. The United States may be able to pre vent a repetition of Spain's experi ence. We hope so. How's This!

Miles has mostly been of an underhanded nature, so it is not very surprising that the report of the Military Co urL of Irnquiry, now in Mr. McKmley's hands, should seek to make its attack upon Gen. Miles seem fair by jumping on a few minor com missary officers and recommending that they be court-martialed for neg lecting their duty in connection with the beef supplied to the army a neg lect that the report says was extreme ly profitable to the beef contractors. This thing isn't done with. Gen. Miles was completely vindicated by the evidence taken and he intends to keep on fighting until his vindication is officially recognized, and he has been assured of support by promi nent men in Congress, some of them republicans. He has known from the first that the personal enmity of two men connected with the Court of Inquiry would have prevented his getting fair treatment, even with Sec retary Alger's influence against him left out of consideration. Political pull was stronger with Mr. McKinley than his friendship for General Joe WVheeler; consequently "Fighting Joe's" application for ac tive service in the Philippines was turned down, and that eminent polit ical warrior Fred. Grant, chosen as one of the three Brigadier Generals that are to be sent to the Philippines at once; the other two being Bates, who has just been detached from the command of the Santa Clara province Cuba, and Young, who has been su pervising the mustering out of volun teers in the South. General Wheeler has repeatedly said that he would re sign his commission if he could not get active service, but it is stated that he is to be offered command of the Department of Texas, which is to be revived. If General Wheeler accepts this command, it will be an indication that there is something in the story f his expecting to be appointed Brig dier General in the regular army. Things are far from being satisfacto ry in Porto Rico. Thirty-nine deaths [rom starvation have been officially reported from a single province since the free government rations were sus pended, and 100,000 are reported to be continuously hungry. It is pro posed by the Red Cross to establish depots in the large cities for the sale of Porto Rican products for the ben stuff will be given by Porto Rican planters and merchants and brought to the U. S. free by the Porto Rican steamship Co., if this government will allow them to be brought in without payment of duty. In deciding to reprimand Captain Coghian, of the cruiser Raleigh, be cause he told a story that was pub lished all over the world nearly a year ago, in what he supposed to be the privacy of a club room, in New York, Secretary Long and the administra tion added nothing to their populari ty. It looks to much like truckling to the German Government to please the average American. It was un necessary for Secretary Hay to have taken the proper stand in telling the German Ambassador, when he called at the State Department to make a protest, in the name of his goveru ment, that Captain Coghlan had spoken as an individual at a pri vate gathering of friends, and with no expectation that what he said was to be published, and that this govern ment would take no official cogni zance of the matter, if the Navy De partment was to punish Captain Coghlan. It looked to much like Secretary Hay made a bluff for pub lie consumption, and then privately assured the German Ambassador that Captain Coghlan would be punished. That doesn't square with the Ameri can idea of straight forwardness. If that sort of thing is kept up our army and navy officers will be afraid to talk among their friends, until each of them has been sworn not to give his remarks to a newspaper. Representative Grosvenor has been given a straight tip from headquar ters not to become a candidate for the Speakership of the House because Boss Hanna had decided that the ad ministration could not afford to put an Ohio man in that position. The talk about Grosvenor having decided not to become a candidate because he thought Ohio w.. already suffi ciently provided with big political hopors is all bosh. It was a case of Hanna, not diffidence. Surely Alger is surely to be pitied now! Jay Hubbell, of Mich., whose political methods were too bad even for the republican party, whose noto rious connection with the forced as sessing of government employees in the Garfield campaign, when Hubbell was at the head of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, has not been forgotton, floated into Washington this week and gave Al ger a public endorsement, through a newspaper interview. Of course, Hubbell endorses Alger; they are birds of a feather, but among decent people his endorsement does more harm than would his condemnation. by the way, it has been much com mented upon that Alger was the only member of the Cabinet in Washing ton who did not accompany the Pres idential party that went to Philadel phia, to see the Grant Monument un veiled. It is said that Mr. McKinley did not ask him. Remarkable Rescue. Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, 1ll.. makes the statement, that she caught cold, which settled on her lungs; she was treated for a month by her family physician. btt grew worse.

There is but little doubt about the outcome. Almost every person in terested, is heartily in favor of the scheme. This fact is a very pretty compliment to the refinement and intelligence which pervades the proposed school district. The purpose of the promoters is to furnish school facilities which will be second to none in the State. They feel that this is a duty that every man owes to posterity. Messrs. J. S. Cantey, C. H.

Eaitor THE TINMS: Our farmers are busy planting cot ton and have very pretty oat and corn crops, and we are in hopes o having some fruit in spite of the se vere weather of the past. A beautiful marriage was solemn ized at the Methodist church at thik place last Wednesday evening at E o'clock. The contracting parties were Miss L. Maud Griffin, one of the most popular young ladies of Pine wood, to Mr. A. G. Stack, one of our leading merchants. Rev. A. T. Dunlap, the officating minister. was at his place at the hour appointed, and as the clock pealed forth the hour of eight the bridal party entered the vestibule and as the sweet strains of Lohen grin's Wedding March was grace fully rendered by Mrs. P. M. Sally, the two sweet little flower girls, Misses Mamie and May Griffin, cou sins of the bride, led the procession, and marching up under the beauti ful wedding bell that hung near the center of the pulpit for the couple, each took hold of the banners that enfolded the bell and hoisted them in great taste, while the ushers, Messrs. N. L. Broughton and R. S. DesChamps, cleared the aisles for the bridal party, and under the sweet strains of music the first couple, Miss Lela Geddings, with Mr. W. J. Ep person, entered followed by the bride and maid of honor, Miss Minnie Grif fin, and the groom and best man, Mr. D. R. Lide, and entering under the pretty arch they were happily made man and wife. The bride wore a handsome attire of white Persian lawn trimmed in white satin ribbon, pearl beading, made en train, carrying a bouquet of white carnation roses in her hand. The maids of honor each wore pretty dresses of white organdie over pink, trimmed in pink satin ribbon, with white roses in their hair. The little flower girls were attired in pretty white dresses trimmed with pink rib bon and flowers in their hair. The groom and groomsmen wore full evening suits, and the whole out fit made a beautiful spectacle within the eyes of the assembled spectators. The church was beautifully deco rated by the admiring friends of the couple, with live plants and ever greens, which, when lighted up, made a pretty appearance, and we certainly extend congratulations to the kind helpers for their great taste. The bride was the recipient of some pretty presents. Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Stack will make Pinewood their future home, and have many friends who will wish them all the blessings of a happy married life. Several from here attended a pic nic, at Fluds' mill on the 26th inst. given in honor of Miss Sarah DuRant who has had the tetelage of the Fel der school in charge the past year. Miss DuRant, left for her home in Bishopville, on Thursday, much to the regret of her many friends, and ardent admirers. Mr. Walter D. Epperson, who has been attending court in Charleston in the Lake City affair as witness for one of the defendants, E. M. Rogers, returned to Lake City, where he spent a few days with relatives, is now at home. Mr. H. F. Stack has returned home after attending court in Charleston. Miss Ara Rogers of Lake City is visiting her sister, Mrs. H. F. Stack. There is to be a picnic soon and won't us children (?) have a time?
