Warskips Also Make it Uncomforta ble for Retreating Force*. who, though they had the intelligence and patriotism, were cowed-by the military power of the federal admin-, iatration at Washington. No white man’s property.or liberty, was safe, except what his own strong arm pro tected. Ignorant judges sat on the bench. The Supreme Court became composed of a superannuated Jew, a shrewd carpet-bagger, and an ignor ant black negro. I have often as an attorney pleaded cases before mixed juries, and several times full negro juries. t) 4 .• No farmer dared to have a bale '6f cotton in his barn yard/at night, nor his stable door unlocked. Taxes by the millions were collected under the guise of law from the land owners, and spent in extravagance and vice of every kind, and in schooling the ne gro children, and education was de-»' nied the whites. The monumental effort of this political tyranny was the formation of an armed negro mili tia, to bolster up the State Govern ment and^o terrify the whites. Every county of the State had its militia armed to the teeth with Springfield guns, paid for with the money of the taxnayers. Nowhere was this more menacing and blatant than in Edgefield County and Aiken County, where at Hamburg the major general, Prince R. Rivers, a coachman at Beaufort in slavery times, was legislator, trial justice and commander of the military. No wonder that here this memorable revolution found its heading! No wonder here the Anglo-Saxon rebelled! Let’ an unbiased Republican his torian tell the truth of our humilia tion, which ground ua to the dust, and then made u* arise and throw' off the yoke, not liecause of hatred for the Rack man, because we pitied him, but because of indignation to his white leaders, who were helping themselves whilst leading the poor negro to his downfall. In 1R72 and 1873 (Jen Grant, the President, sent to the State his great friend, Gen. James S. Pike, (who after- wards was his ambassador to The Hague,) to observe the status of af fairs and report. He visited us. I re member him well. He wrote a book called "The Prostrate State." which ought to be in the library of every Carolinian. Speaking of the State Government he found at Columbia, he says at page 12: "It is the dregs of the population habilitated in the robes of their in telligent predecessors, and asserting over them the rule of ignorance and corruption through the inexorable ma chinery of a majority of numbers. It is the barbarian overwhelming civil? - ization by physical force. It is the slave rioting in the halts of his mas ter, and putting that monster under his feet." (Continued next week.) Mrs. Annie Easterling and son, Mr. Robert Easterling, of Aiken, were the guests of relatives here this week. BYRNES “ASKS TO KNOW." Thinks Southern Shore* Should Be In cluded in Defence Plan*. i, ii"' I J s . I i Wrshington, Feb. 19.—Representa tive Byrne* today had- up- -with the chief of the coast artillery the plans of the war department as to Fort Fremont near Beaufort when* guns are now placed with no men-tb man them. He stated that while he is in formed that the officer in charge of that division recommended making Fort Fremont the flank of the defen ses of Savannah the board in Wash ington does not recommend the im provement of any of the defenses along the South Atlantic coast. ..Some officials in the department entertain the idea that no enemy would attack along the Southern coast, preferring to attack the North Atlantic coast where there is located much wealth and population, and their idea is to plan for the defense of Southern ports only by mQvable~guns tliat can be transported from place to place. Mr. Byrnes takes the position that defense is a national aryl not alocal issue and if the board believes impitiyement of Southern defenses not essential he on ly wants their reasons for the belief, and why it is essential to improve only the forts along the North Atlantic coast. The chief of staff has not yet informed him of the contents of the * report of the local officials. NO SUMMER IN 1816. There was a Blizzard iu Jung and Plenty of Frost in luly. “Ohe hundred years ago, 1816, ac cording to the records there was no summer in this coui|try," says the Greenwood Index. "January of that year was so mild there was no need of fires even in New England. Snows and slget began in march and con tinued for months. There was a blizzard in June and plenty of frost in weather The Russian army which captured Erzerum in Armenia is endeavoring to cut off the retreat of the Turks, who are retiring with as much speed - as possible. Dispatches from Petrograd report the storming of the towns of Mush and AchJat, to the south, heavy fighting preceding their capture. The, next objective of the southern wing of the Russian army is Diarbekr, which lies withih striking distance of the Bagdad Railway. The line would open up the road for the Russians in to Syria.* • Along the Black Sea coast Russian warships ar£ pounding at the Turkish batteries and harassing the retreating troops. The northern vying of the Rus sian army has captured the town of Witje and is driving the Turks hack into the direction of Gumish Rhaneh, which is on the road to Treb^izftUd, while large Russian forces are moving westward from Erzerum with the ob ject of rutting off these Turkish troops before they can reach a new line of defence. In Western Zone. The Gormans have been operating vigorously against the British and French along the Yser Canal, in Bel gium, to the north of Ypres. From the British 350 meters of a position were captured and hald despite hand gre-' nade attacks to recapture it. After a heavy taimhardment the Germans at tempted to cross the canal and occupy French positions, and several groups of them did succeed in making their way to a first-line trench. The French, however, immediately drove them back. - The British to the south of Loos, in a lively engagement, succeeded in making an advance to the edge of a mine crater held by the Germans. The French in the Champagne, "be tween the Meuse and Moselle rivers, and to the west of the forest Apre- mont, have bomiiarded successfully German positions, while in the Ar- gonne forest a mine exploded by the French shattered the German works. Isolated Engagements. Only isolated engagements have taken place on the Russian front. On the Austro-Italian line artillery duels continue. Continuing their advance in Alban ia the Austro-Hungarians report the capture near Bazar-Sjak, a short dis tance northeast of Duraszo, of an ad vanced Italian position. This is the first indication that the Italians were operating so far north in^Albania, the belief having prevailed that their ac tivities had been confined to the locali ty adjacent to Avlona. That progress hi being made by the Teutonic allies in the direction of Av lona seemingly is shown by the report that the Albanians, who are fighting with them, have occupied the town * if Herat, 31 miles northeast of Av lona. • r Four German »e;:;Hanc* have raided he « ist and - luthoast coafrta ot Kng land, dropping bombs. Lowestoft ami W’almer were visited. Two men and me boy were killed and a marine was bounded. The raiders escaped. Unofficial advices from Saloniki are that a Bulgarian patrol, which crossed the-Greek frontier near Doiran, was repelled by Greek troops ‘and forced to “retire.

She says further: “Before 1 began to use Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able to do arty of my housework. After taking three bottles of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework, as well as run a big water mill I wish every suffering woman would give CARDUI The Woman's Tonic a trial. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad, and it always does me good.” Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness, Jired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman’s tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing women for more than fifty years.
