Our space in a paper the size of THE TIiEs does not permit a going into great detail cocerning the trou bles between England and the Trans vaal republic in South Africa, but last week we tried to give our read ers some information concerning the causes of the war. Since then the mighty drama has begun; two great battles have been fought and the first act in the play which might fittingly be styled "the destruction of two re publics" is before the gaze of the in terested world as an audience. At Glencoe Hill and at Elandslaagte the Boers and the British have met in severe battle. While all the news we get from South Africa has to come through London, owing to the fact that there are only two cables from Europe to that country and both of these controlled by England, and while the truth of all dispatches giv ing accounts of British successes may be greatly discounted, owing to the fact that all information reaching the outside world is subject to great cen sorship by the English military au thorities, yet it is safe to say that in both the battles which have thus far been fought the English soldiers were too much for the Boers. England has won two victories already. At Glencoe Hill it is estimated that the British loss was about two hundred, while the Toers are said to have lost eight hundred. The British fought with all the bravery which ever char acterized them in history, while the plucky Boers maintained a fight amid shot and shell for eight long hours before they were finally driveni frotu the field. Sir Redvers Buller, the great English military tyrant who is to have absolute control of all his countrv's military movements in the war, is yet upon the sea on his way to the field, but the English are gallant ly commanded by General White. It seems that General Joubert, the Boer chief commander, is too old for the situation and unless he is changed it is probable that the war will not last as long as was at first anticipated; but that he will be succeeded by a younger and more active general is reasonably sure, so that the war is not yet closed and will not be until the blood of many thousands of lives shall have been shed upor. the plains of South Africa. Orange Free State, a sister repub lic to the Transvaal, and which has allied herself with that republic and agreed to stand or fall with her, is now ready for the fray also, and Pres ident Steyn in a proclamation calling upon his peopie to take up arms to a man, urges them with the following patriotic words: "We are fighting a just war, and cannot be defeated, as God is on our side." In the mean time England is shipping more troops to the field. Canada will send troops if allowed, and Australia, away out in -the middle of the Pacific, is eager to contribute a big share of the troops to carry on the war. While England knows that she will inevitably win, yet she is also aware that she is fighting without a sem blance of right on her side, her sole patriotism being inspired by a greed for gold and more territory, and that she is fighting two little countries who are backed against the wall, so to speak, an-i who expect to die in their tracks defending their liberties. England knows that her success will not be based upon right, but upon might, and realizing this she is mass ing more troops in South Africa than Wellington had when he defeated Napoleon at Waterloo, or as many as the Confederate States ever had at one time. She has already in time past slaughtered perhaps as many African natives in her conquest of territory as were killed in our great civil war. She is now stalking abroad upon the face of the earth seeking all small countries whom she may de vour, and ours is the only English speaking country on the globe which does not pay her tribute. Would she have us do it also, if she could? Possibly so. But in her South Afri can policy she is strengthened by our policy of aggression on the Philippine question. England and the United .States are now friendly, and hand-in hand, the governments of the two greatest couni ries on earth stand with pohcies of unjust and aggressive con quest, call it the march of civilization. * It is not unreasonable to say that this policy of communism and social isni displayed by great countries is but an index to the communistic feel ing growing among their individual citizenship. This feeling may be in miniature now, but it is on the in crease, and if it continues to grow, who can say but that the day may come wLen a great centralization of nations by conquest will have taken place, and that when this is done a centralization of wealth will follow,and that the vivid dreams of Ignatius Donnelly, describing a destruction of the government and the erection of "uCesar's Column," made of dead bodies and cement, as large as an Egyptian pyramid, may be realized ? Or who can say but that England and the United States, if they continue in their policies of unjust conquest, may follow in the footsteps of Greece and Rome? Greece and Rome were mighty and ruled the world, but the Greece and Rome of those days are no more. Will England and the United States follow in their foot steps and allow history to repeat itself?

Some of the newspapers are jump ing on Mr. Ouzis for disclosing the peculations of the State board of con trol, after he was discharged from the service; they contend, that had Ouzts not lost his job he would have winked at the rottennes. Be that as it may, the propriety of Ouzts' ac tion or conduct, like the Mikados' fliwers that bloom in the spring-time has nothing to do with the case. Has Ouzts t! tue truth? If he has, then Miles, Haselden andL Robinson are not only unfit to hold positions of I trust but should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If Ouzts has lied, then he should be prosecuted fer libel and punished with the laws, dull penalty. Because Ouzts kept quiet 'hile he was employed nry not show up well for him personally, but that does not lessen the crime against the accused if he speaks the truth. True, it looks like a case of turning State's evidence, and such a witness' state ment should be carefully considered, nevertheless if his statements are cor roberated by indisputable proof, such as records, and other evidences, his testimony is as good as that of a man who aid not "Peach" because of los ing his job. T1he legislature will ap point a committee to investigate the dispensary,- and we sincerely hope they will begin at the beginning, and not stop until every transaction has been thoroughly sifted. They should be empowered to send for books and papers, be given the services of in attorney not connected ofilcially' with the government, and empowered to employ detectives and every other means to ascertain whether or not there wvas any stealing and who the thieves ore, and then when they have fond sufficient evidence, require the chairman of the committee to immed iately cause the arrest of the parties against whom they have obtained evi dence. If the right kind of men are appointed they will hew to the line, letting the chips fall where they may, and then the dispensary will be man aged in the future free from scandals. We believe the dispensary can be put under a system that will give satisfac tion; the present system will have to be revolutionized, by the legislature, and should that body fail, the people will take hold and do the revolutionizing. At the last session the writer in troduced a bill to permit the people in the respective counties to vote on the questions Dispensary, Prohibi tion, High License, the bill wvas de feated, but wve have never lost hope in the final success of the measure. If the people of a county vote for the dispensary system, and the manage ment is put into the hands of a local board to buy the goods, and to see after the enforcement of the law, the, law would be better looked after and there would be less room for scan das. On the other hand if the peo pl vote "Prohibition" there would be no legalized liquor selling and those voting out the liquor would feel large ly responsible for the enforcement of the law. Then where a county like Charleston or Richland vote "IHigh License," the local authorities issuing the licenses would be forced to pro tect their licenses and thus crush out the illicit traffic so common and. wide open in Charleston and Colum bi. Under existing conditions the lawless sale of liquor in Charleston and other cities, teaches and encour ages the violation of all other lawv; if the disregard for law was contined to the cities, those living in the rural districts need not complain, but the thing is spreading, and as our city defiance creeping into the country until our courts are taxed to their utmost capacity. If the people were permitted to saN what they wanted, and their desires expressed at the ballot box gratified, we honestly be lieve there would soon be a vast im provement, and the political air puri fied from the reeking scandials now permeating it.
