Mere Mention of Matters of Mark
and Moment.
In respect to the war with Spain
the fighting is over, but as a result
of the fighting, a more difficult
and a more humane task is before
the people of the United States.
We must take charge of tha is
lands that have come iuto our pos
session, and give to their peoples

tion^ cixilizatiou and eleva*'
it be done th?!«ghlhd iu-
trtrumerAality of our Army. The
call of the country to rhich our
volunteers responded, has been
only in part satisfied ; the service
iii which they engaged is by no
means ended
What remains to be done is, if
not as exciting and dangerous, at
least as noble, ns necessary and as
patriotic as that which has been
done. There is as much of true
courage and patriotism, though
with less cbanc- of applause, in
taking coolly the risks ui an insa
lubrious climate and in enduring
the weariness of garrison lile, for
the sake of the country, as in
facing the bullets of the battle
field.
Considering too the condition of
Cuba and the Philippine islands,
it is highly probable that the
armies of occupation will find not
infrequent use for their arms aud
uot infrequent ctll for the dash
and daring of the battle field. The
work that remains to be done,
calls, however, for fewer soldiers,
and so many can be honorably
dismissed-
It will be highly proper to re
turn to their hom» s those who
1 have borne the heat and burden und
loss of the lighting; and, that the
former is being asked for by these
men, should not be a reproach to
them. I hope, however, that it is
not true, that there is an unseemly
rush to be mustered out on the
part of soidiers whose sole expe
rience has been that of the court
of preparati< n
Especially do I hope that this
spirit does not prevail among the
volunteers from South Carolina.
Hitherto, in the history of our
country, in each of its eventful
years, our State has had honora
ble, and often glorious mention.
! It would be a pity, to say the least,
if in the grand chapter, the strik
ing incidents of which are now so
rapidly occurring, the Palmetto
State should have hut little, if any
place. We have hud an oppor
tunity for ...demonstrating, once
again, our martial and heroic
spirit upon the battle Held; but
we may yet do better, by the man
ifestation of our chivalry, our hu
manity, aud our intelligence, in
the uplifting of the prostrate peo
ples now at the feet of the United
Mates. In this episode in our
history, we have, so far, presented
an unfortunate, if not a pusillan
imous appearance among the
States. Our metropolis, for some
reason, despite its splendid war
record, sulked, and would do noth
ing- Its great daily, the News
and Courier, opposed the war. at
tributed the meanest motives to
Congress and the administration
in its declaration, sounded the
cords of prejudice and snctioual
bitterness, a id, in every way, used
its large influence to discourage
aud prevent anything like an en
thusiastic response to the call for
volunteers. The governor, though
perhaps with the best intentions,
blundered in his methods and the
State was too proud and too wise
to make up any part of its quota,
as it could easily thave done, from
its large negro population.
As a result the gathering to
gether of a Utterw aud two regi
ment, has hwn a Vdiflicult, suiru-
less, paiufulaud vlery slow opera
tion, and ouivoluiilieers have been
confined to Jflvumf preparation.
OF MM AL INTEREST.
Mouieiitlnic Abuui Hie Gulf Naval sior«*
Comimiijr, In W tilrli the Mtiwr*. Cov
ington Hie Olllcrm.
As is known Messrs. H. L. and
C. M. Covington, formerly of
Florence, are engaged in the tur
pentine business in FTorida. Their
company is called the Gulf Naval
Stores company, and in connec
tion therewith the following from
the Savannah Morning News will
be read with interest:
“It is proposed to make the cap
ital of the Gulf Naval Stores com
pany $250,000, fully paid in, with
the privilege of increasing to any
desired amount up to $1,000,000.
The present amount invested in
the business is understood to be
about $100,000. As at present
canstituted the company consists
of Mr. H. L. Covington, president;
Mr. C. M. Covington, secretary
and treasurer, and Mr C. Down
ing. IJnder the reorganization the
management will probably remain
unchanged. In addition to these
gentlemen there will be interested
in the company the Savannah
Naval Stores company, the Down
ing company, each of which will
hold a large block of stock; and a
number of large producers, includ
ing Messrs. W. W. Beach, S. A.
Alford, B. F. Bullard, A. Sessoms,
O. D. Bass and otheis.
A new house will be opened at
Mobile, and probably also at Pen
sacola. These are regarded as
promising territories for an exten
sion of business. The company
has done a constantly growing and
successful busin

It will nlbe t (forgotten that the
p^per whilapurtjiuiug its unpat
riotic coursl basi, with ludicrous
aud pitiful fncoijiaistency, striven
to secure fof Charleston some por
tion of the floaveis and fishes that
the war baq ba^to distribute, by
clamoring for camps to be located
in itssuburba and for troops to be
shipped through its port; aud is
now frantically spurring its unen
terprising rich men to reach out
after some of the fruits of the war,
by opening up commerce with
Cuba aud Porto Rico.
Our regiments, however, are
composed of Smith Carolina boys,
and I believe that, whatever the
discouragement! 9 , they will exhibit
a true South Carolina spirit, and,
if afforded the chance, will give
an honorable ending to a story,
that up to this point, has been
somewhat humiliating to the
State.

ing capital soWniarged the busi
ness it will hereafter do will be
multiplied. As a matter of fact,
it is probable that as much money
as it can profitably use will be at
its command and that it will take
rank speedily among the leading
naval stores conceins of the South.
The Messrs. Covington, who have
been active managers of the busi
ness at Carrabelle, are experienced
naval stores men and to their abil
ity the success of the concern up
to to this time is considerably due.
It is the impression that Mr. H.
L. Covington will be the president
of the new company which will
retain the name of the old one.”
CoiigreHNiiiaii Norton Sick.
Congressman James Norton is
reported to be seriously sick. He
arrived in Columbia several days
ago and said at the time that he
was on his way to the mountains
to recuperate, his physician hav
ing so advised. He is stopping at
the residence of Mr. J. J. McMa-
Mahan. Dr. McSwain, formerly
of Marion, but now of this city,, is
attending Mr. Norton.—The State.

A very interesting meetin* is
going on at Oak Grove now eon-
ducted by Rev. Mr. Harris.
Mr. F'. W. Ham is home again
from the mountains where lie went
for his health. VV’e hope he is
much improved.
Mr. S. J Lynch was home a few
days last week on the sick list.
Glad to note he is able to return to
duty.
Mr. Johnson, guard of the coun
ty chain gang, was at Oak Grove
on Sunday.
Mrs. Eula Wilkes, daughter of
Mr. Leonard Tedder is dead. She
was buried 0.1 Sunday at the
Wilkes’ burying ground. We
sympathize with the sorrowing re
latives ami friends.
Mr. J. D. Askins and wife of
Scuffle town, was at Oak Grove
Sunday.
It seems as if our good and no
ble McKinley would treat the
Czar’s proposition of international
conciliation with indifference. He
should wait and see ; give us any
thing that would annul unrest and
advance civilization.
If we were to send a delegation
to an international conference and
it should develop something sus
picious our delegation could with
draw like gentlemen and come
home.
