If free trade to Porto) [eio eXist5 as a iattetr of righjit4it must similarly exist in the Philippines. But Spain is, under the Paris treaty. entitled to trade with those Islands on the same terms as the United States. That is to say, she will be entitled to free trade with the United States by way of Manila for ten years. The State Press Association is now on its way to Cuba. We regret that business engagemeits prevented THE TimEs editor from being a member of this party, and although our presence is not with them, our heart is. and we hope they will have a safe and a joyous outing. It makes us feel real blue in being disappointed about this trip. The war which is now engaging Eng land is about the- first real land war which her soldiers have fought for centuries. Heretofore she has hired her fighting done and then took the glory. Waterloo was won by the Ger mans: Blenheim by the Italians, and what few victories perched on Eng land's banners ir. America were due to the hired Hessians. and Wellington and Marlborough took the glory. Now England has to do her own fighting.and if the reports are true she will win the war. but no glory. President Kruger. of the South Afri can Republic and President Steyn, of 'the sister Republic. have jointly m-de England an offer of peace, but England has refused, claiming that the two Re publics have abused their independence to England's detriment. This simply means that England has found out that she can over power the South Afri kanders and take their country. and that she proposes to do so. We hope that Russia and France will step in now, and give England to understand that her unholy war must cease. We see from some of the up-country newspapers that Senator W. N. Gray don. of Abbeville. may become a candi date for Solicitor of his circuit. and we hope the report will not prove correct. because he would be greatly missed from the State Senate. Graydon is one of the best law-makers in the State, and although he is Abbeville's repre sentative, should he go into another field it would be a loss to the State. If, however, he has decided to make the race for Solicitor, we would advise the p~eople of that circuit not to cast their votes for Senator Graydon unless they are seeking a man who will do his full duty fearlessly and without favor He knows the law and has the moral courage to push and advocate the law. He is a man of a high sense of honor which qualifies him for so important a trust. and if elected Solicitor he will be such a prosecuting office that evil doers will tremble at the mention of his name. It is intimated that the Prohibition isits will have an early convention, and take action to forestall the convention to be held by the regular Democratic organizaticn. We do not propose to advise our Prohibition friends, but in attempting to forestall the Democratic party, they had hetter study the con stitution and rules thoroughly. If our memory serves us right, we have a rec ollection of that factton assembling in Columbia, perfecting an organization, electing an executive committee and making nominations for all of the State offices. We also recollect that their action was questioned, and the State executive committee caused the Pro hibitionists to pull down their ticket as that party was separate and distinct. and their action was in violation of the rules of the Democratic party. We do not think it was the intention of the Prohibitionists to go outside, and they were to a considerable extent mislead by one of the Democratic committees. But with their former experience, and with the constitution and rules plain if they do go outside of the party, the re sponsibility of such a course must rest with them. Prohibition in our opin ion. would bring about a fearful con dition in this State we believe, at the same time we realize that a very large number of good men hold contrary views, and these men and their sincer ity we respect, therefore, if they are determined to inject the question again into our politics, it is best for them to comply strictly with the rules of the De mocratic party. The South C'arolina Exposition of the industries and resources of the State to be held in the city of Charleston in the fall of 1901 is in the hands of a com petient management.MIr. JTno. H.Averil. the corresponding secretary, is a man of tireless energy and if he does not make the exposition a success, then it will be the fault of those whose inter ests are intended to be enhanced and not his. Among the industries which the management proposes to press forward is that of growing and manufacturing tobacco. and thle people of this section aren ratinteres ted in the develop mnofthis produeit. \%e hope our to baeco growers will get into commnuni cat ion wvith Mtr. .\veiil and give him the benefit of their experience. he is oliciting advice and he wants to get in close touchl with those who mnake~ the weed.

It is our- honest opinion that the resources of this State when proper . advert ised will be the means of bIrlingring into the State a new and a desirable population.

Editor The Manning Times: It would take several issues to tell all that I have seen and experienced since my enlistment on Sept. 12th 1899. so will cut it short, and only mention a few of the most important events. The 38th left Jefferson Barracks. 'Mo., on Oct. 20th, arrived at The Presidio. Cal. Oct. 27th, remained in camp at the latter place until 'ov. 20th. when we boarded the Transport's St Paul and Duke of Life for 'Manila. P. I. My experience crossing the Straits going to Cuba was nothing compared to the 37 days crossing the broad Pacific and China Sea. We arrived at Hono lulu H. I. Thanksgiving day. renained there until Dec. 5. this is the loveliest place I ever saw. much prettier than H1avana. Cuba. the climate about the same as Cuba, it is a "Heaven" com pared to our large cities: there is more religion to the square inch at this place, than to every acre in the States, you can not buy a cigar on Sunday. In San Francisco, the majority of the stores and Bar Rooms are open all the time. It is a common thing to see women walk in the Bar Rooms, and buy a drink across the bar just the same as the men do. Talk about the Pacific being calm, and free from storms that is all a dream, although we encountered several heavy seas we reached Manila Bay on the evening of Dec. 26th, without any ac cident or loss of life. The two trans ports kept in sight most of the time. for 15 days nothing was seen, but the blue waves, the sun, moon and stars. My company was in luck. Headquarters was on board the St Paul, so of course we had music to pass away the long dreary hours spent out at sea. at night the boys would remain on top deck un til taps. singing songs, cracking jokes, thinking of loved ones.sweethearts. etc., left behind and talking about how many Filipino's we expected to kill if the war was not over when we reached the Is lands. I think the majority believed that it would be over-, but to our first question when we anchored in the Bay is the fun over-the answer-not by any meaas; Gen. Lawton was killed a few days ago. I think all of our feet got cold that night. the next day came the order to disembark. By noon we were all camped in the heart of the City of Manila trying to make eurselves comn fortable in our little shelter tents. We all received a handsome New Year's gift. took a hike out to the water works to support the 29th which expected an attack that day, but no attack was made, so we were not needed. That nirst 18 mile hike will never be forgotten. Af ter being on board of the boat and tak ing no exercise for over a month, it was enough to make one sleep well, if on the ground with only a blanket and poncho. The next day we got orders to go to M1aricalon. on the South line. This was only six miles out. We led the advance South, so every fellow was in his place when orders came to move. We ha~d nothing to do at this place bnt train the men on out post duties. We remained there until the expedition to begin the move on the South line was completed. On January 6th we got orders to re-enforce the 28th at Innes, by daylight on the 7th we were on the hike. When we reached Innes we rest ed for two hours; all that afternoon we could hear the roar of the artillery and the crack of the Kraggs: the officers would say. "close up men, close up. close up. About dark we reached the battle tield where the 28th, had lost several men, when the wounded were brought to the rear, and the dead bod ies of the enemy could be seen on the roadside, it made one feel like the day-s of fine soldiering was over, and we would soon go up against the real stuff. The next day the 38th took the lead, Co. "-E" was the advance guard, my position was not a pleasant one, expect ing every moment to be fired on, there was not much time for meditating. The enemy had " vamoosed,"- we took two small'towns that day without any re sistance. Outpost duty was now inter esting, every now and then a shot would be heard and the sing of the Mlauser became real. General Bates came in with his calvary, the next day we hiked out and marched all day and until 12 oclock in the night, by day light we were on the road again, after marching all day through rice fields over moun tains, 'we caught up with the ,enemy about 4 o'clock in the afternoon near- a little town by the name of Talise. It was my Co's luck to be the advance guard that aft. We were marching slowly down the mountain trail when without any warning a volley was pout ed into us. Captain Sawyer did not command " lie down every man," ex cept the reserves which I commanded, and was 600 yards in the rear of the support, was fiat on the ground, in a few mnomemts two more volley's were poured into the point and support. The enemy was located, and a line formed while the bullets were singing a regu lar song, five volley's were poured into them, and in the brush Co. "-E" rushed firing at will. The niggers can't stand when the Americans charge and begin to yell, so in a few minutes they left their- trenches, and hiked out. such running you never saw, then the boys felt good and the Kraggs began to talk. One fellow made me bow pr-etty low to hin, we call it ducking or dodging: I got a good shot at him, and the last I saw he went into the bushes head first. One of the boys said Sgt. you got him before I cotild get a shot: don't think I killed him. but I'll bet h'e will know what a Kragg sounds like, should he hear one again. The town was taken without any loss on our side; Here the. artillery got separated from us. The next morning~ we went on. and took another town without any resistance. and waited until the artillery and sup plies could go around the mountain. in tw days the artillery came up and reported a wagon train captured. which proved untrue four days later. WVe were a hungry set of men. as no looting or stealing was allowed, oranges and bananas rice and chickens were olentiful: so when break 'fast came next morning, officers and Cures those eruptions, b Spring; cures scrofulous d eczema with its dreadful i generally weak conditior 'that tired feeling," whi vitality and the elements were asked. They knew there was no one in town to self them. and the mel couldn't starve and hike I5 miles the next day. From here we left for Lipa where we expected a strong resistance, it being the next largest city to Manila on the Island. About 5 miles fron Lipa the fun started, and I must say it was the real stuff. at one time 11 Co's of the 38th. a batterv of artillery and the 39th Infantry all were engaged for about 2A hours.The second ibattalion was the re serves on this occasion. and all were sent to the front except Co. "E.' l'll tell you 1 prefer the liring- line every time. the niggers shoot high and those in the rear are kept busy ducking., bowing and dodging. It is not pleasant to have the dirt thrown in your face by Mauser bulletts, and hear thatipeculiar sound when they ricocchet. The men killed and wounded on this occasion were hit before deploying farther back than my company. We thought this was only the out post, but after getting to Lipa the Spanish prisoners said that Agpinaldo had sent out the troops un mounted to cheek the advance until he could get out of Lipa with his men etc. he got out two hours before we arrived so they said: here we released about 100 Spaniards who had been in prison for 22 months also captured ,20.000 in coin. Here Colonel Anderson got orders to remain until supplies and the calvery could catch up. The 38th. are called the Hikers. General Schwan tried to catch us for two days with his calvary. but gave it up and it is said he remark ed "H-1 couldn't stop the d- fools." Up to this time no rations had been seen. so in two days there wasn't a chicken left to erow for day in Lipa. Our bill of fare at our non-coimission one day viz: mutton. chicken. boiled and fried eggs, rice. sugar and coffee. Since this the $mth Regiment took four towns, at this place the Ist batal lion captured a company of Filipino's commanded by a Spaniard. Yesterday 3 Cos of .the 1st batallion en countered 400 of the enemy about four miles from here. a pretty hard scrap they were in. on our side one ma n kill ed and five wounded. They have just returned so the boys are now telling about their experiences. The gun boat shelled them and they say the niggers were slaughtered in a frightful way. Botangas is on the coast. from here the sick and wounded are sent to Manila: we get our supplies here also. We are the first American troops that have ever been in this part of the island. The 38th has been ordered to garrison Bo tongas. Lipa and Osario. These are the most important towns on the south line, so I can say with good authority that our fighting and hiking in these parts is about over. In fact I believe the war 'is practically at an end. Of course there will still be some fighting, but nothing compared to what we have seen. The people- or papers in the States ive General Otis hail Columbia. Could hey even imagine what it is to handle an army so far away from the States and solve this momentous problem over here they would not jump at conclusions so quick. Everybody here seem to be pleased with his management and I am sure it is only those who have been dis appointed in'some way that are making the biggest kick. He was right in saiy ing 25.000 men could straighten things over here, but it would take time. One company can whip L.200 of the enemy. Now every town taken can be garri soned. so ere long the backbone will be broken and things will settle down and wait for Congress to do the rest. I tvon't take any more space this time. Will let you hear again some time soon. Yours truly. A. C'. DAVIs. Batangas, P. 1., .T an. 20. 1900. An Honest Medicine for ILaGrippe. George W. Waitt of South Gardiner.

Hood's Sarsaparilla ORFULB1 RND ITS IWFUL BORRORS -CURED BY Johnston's Sarsaparilla QUART BOTTLES. A MOST WONDERFUL CURE. A Grand Old Lady Gives Her Experience. Mrs. Thankful Orilla Hurd lives in the beautiful village of Brighton, Livingston Co., Mich. This venerable and highly respected lady was born in the year 1812, the year of the great war, In Hebron, Washington Co., New York. She came to Michigan in IS40, the year of "Tippecanoe and Tyler too." All her faculties are excellently preserved, and possessing a very re tentive memory, her mind is full of interesting reminiscences of her early life, of the early days of the State of Michigan and the interesting and re markable people she has met, and the stirring events of which she was a wit ness. But nothing in her varied and manifold recollections are more mar velous and worthy of attention than are her experiences in the use otf JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA. Mrs. Hurd inherited a tendency and pre disposition to scrofula, that terribly destructive blood taint which has cursed and is cursing the lives of thousands and marking thousands more as vic tims of the death angel. Transmitted from generation to generation, It Is found in neary every family in one form or another. It may make its ap pearance in dreadful running sores, in unsightly swellings In the neck or goltre, or in eruptions of varied forms. Attacking the mucous membrane, It may be known as catarrh in the head, or developing in the lungs it may be, and often is, the prime cause or consumption. Speaking of her case, Mrs. Hurd says: "I was troubled for many years with a bad skin disease. My arms and limbs would break out In a mass of sores, discharging yellow matter. My neck began to swell and became very unsightly In appearance. My body was covered with scrofulous eruptions.. My eyes were alzo greatly inflamed and weakened, and they pained me very much. My blood wvr li a very bad condition and my head ached severely at frequent intervals, and I had no appetite. I had sores also in my ears. I was in a miserable condition. I had tried every remedy that had been recom mended, and doctor after doctor had failed. One of the best physicians In the state told me I must die of scrofulous consumption, as internal abcesses were beginning to form. I at length was told of Dr. Johnston, of Detroit, and his famous Sarsaparilla. I tried a bottle, more as an experiment than any thing else. as I had no faith in it, and greatly to my agreeable surprise, I began to grow better. You can be sure I kept on taking It. I took a great many bottles. But I steadily improved until I became entirely well. All the sores healed up. all the bad symptoms disappeared. I gained perfect health. and I have never been troubled with scrofula since. Of course an old lady of 83 years is not a young woman, but I have had remarkably good health since then, and I firmly believe that JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA is the greatest blood purifier and the best medicine in the wide world, both for scrofula and as a spring medicine." This remarkably interesting old lady did not lok to be more than sixty, and she repeated several times, "I believe my life was saved by JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA." Dr. W. M.L Brockinton, Manning, S. C. One of the First Symptoms of Failing Health in a Woman is '0 IBIVOUSMESS Did you ever think that there is always a cause for this malady? In women Nervous. ness is generally the forerunner of some 'IN. form of female disease, such as Whites, Painful, Profuse or Irregular Menses, etc., either of which will produce Nervousness in all of its distressing intensity. Ifyou use Gerstle's Female Panacea jf ~tyou will very soon be cured of Nervous - ness and all other female troubles as well. If costive, move the bowels with mild doses of St. Joseph's Liver Regulator. I HAVE SUFFERED FOR YEARS With painful menses, attended with sour stomach, rushing of blood to the head, and occasioal whites. I also have severe nervous spell1s and heart palpitation s bad I cannot rest.
