ENTRIES FROM OUR DAY BOOK. one against Under the second call for troops ( our State is to raise two battalions of four companies each, in all about 700 men. It is thought that one of these battalions will be combined with that commanded by Maj. Thompson, thus making another regiment. In that case we again urge that, our gallant and accom plished fellow townsman, Col. J. G. Wardlaw, be appointed to command it. A Second Palmetto Regiment under Wardlaw would take an envia ble position among the custodians of the nation’s honor. ♦ ♦ ♦ The army of invasion under Gen. Shatter arrived off Santiago-de-Cuba Monday last at noon. The troops, numbering Ib.OOO men are on board thirty seven transports. It is not yet decided when or where the troops will laud. There are fourteen cases of typhoid fever on the transports and some cases of measles, but the troops, generally, are reported to be in good health and excellent spirits. Gen. Shatter and Admiral Sampson have held a consultation with Gen. Garcia, the Cuban commander. Gen. Miles announces that he ex pects to go to Santiago or to Porto Rico, but he cannot now say when. We suppose it will be sometime after these places are captured by the American troops, when things will have had ample time to cool down. In the mean time the valiant general will probably fly to and fro between Washington and Tampa in his palace car and continue to fight great battles on paper. When this war shall have had time to test the abilities of military leaders, it is our opinion that Gen. Miles will he laid on the shelf and remembered only as the persecutor of Jeff Davis. We suggested at the beginning of the war with Spain, that the sharp rise in provisions was factitious and without an adequate cause—that the war was only an excuse for unprinci pled speculators to raise prices for selfish purposes. After the sudden inflation the collapse has come. Wheat is again below one dollar after having leaped up to the neighborhood of two dollars a bushel. Joe Leiter is in trouble and ought to be hanged. Money is loaned in New York on call at per cent, per annum. Times are not so bad after all. The United States is a great country of almost boundless resources. She can keep an army of 200,000 men In the field and wage war for ten years and her people will hardly know the difference. Germany ha? an erratic, hot-head ed, young man as Emperor, who is anxious to cut a figure in the world’s affairs, and doesn’t know exactly how to do it. Some of his subordinates have already tried once or twice to bluff Dewey with the result of cutting •the figure 0 to perfection. Now, it is said, there are several German Wfrships, carrying 3,000 men, hover ing about the Philipines for the pur pose of guarding German interests. We have heard of people who did well by minding their own business, and of others who got into serious trouble by meddling with other peo ple’s business. There are large far- seeing eyes fixed on Germany and her "Sweet William.” The Russian Bear is watching her from tiie north with mouth watering for a savory meal; and the British Lion looks at her from bis lair in the west, with a grim, solemn countenance that be tokens deep and serious reflection. It becomes Germany to be a little wary and circumspect. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The political campaign in South Carolina is progressing more vigor ously than the military the Spaniards. The audiences up to this time have usually been small, but the candidates are not at all dis couraged. Watson is pounding El* lerbe, not greatly as we think, to his own advantage. Tillman is pound ing the dispensary with sledge ham mer blows, while irrepressible Whit man is manufacturing rich fun for all. Fcatherstone waves the prohi bition flag so ingloriously abandoned by its "suggested” guardians; Archer steps high among the mazes of higher education and public extravagance, and Schumpert stands on bis own dignity and merit with strong confi dence and perfect equipoise. Tillman is the champion of some strong sensible, practical measures, and judging by the demonstrations made by the audiences, we should say that he is, up to this time, the favorite with the people. The long drought is broken. Ex tensive and generous rains have fallen, infusing new life into vegeta tion and bringing gladness to the hearts of the people. Gardens have suffered, but the main-field crops have not been permanently injured. Corn has been stunted in its growth, but that will not hurt it. With plenty of rain in earing time it will make as good a crop as if it had had rain earlier. As for vegetables there is plenty of time to make them yet. There has never been a more favora ble spring for working crops, and the man whose crops is not clear of grass and weeds and prepared to receive the full benefit of the rains, has either suffered some misfortune or failed to do his duty. But after man does his full duty how dependent he is over a power en tirely beyond his reach or control! The thoughtless man, with a vague understanding of what he means, calls that power Nature; the Christian with clearer understanding, calls it God. Efforts are being made to raise a regiment of Confederate Veterans for the war. The call, we believe, comes from Atlanta. It excites no enthu siasm and will hardly meet with any response worth naming. There are over 100,000 Confederates yet alive in the South, and we doubt if out of that number a full regiment could be en listed for this war at its present status. The war days of the Confederates are over. Most of the men who led them are gone, and no one else can fire their hearts with enthusiasm. Besides, this war is too much a mat ter of business to arouse the old Con federate. He fought once for his home and wife and children, with all his might, and he would do that again. But he cares nothing for con quest and annexations, and he would scorn the idea of enlisting for $15.00 a month. He wouldn’t feel right either in a blue uniform and the name of General Miles doesn’t refresh his spirits with a very sweet savor. the apprehension of the murderers, and they kept quietly at work. A few days ago Marshal Sligen arrested an old man named Newham, who, it is said, bus confessed that he was one of the mob, and has offered to make full disclosures as regards others. If this bo true, the men who made up that mob and deliber ately dyed their hands in innocent blood, may yet learn that the way of the transgressor is not altogether a smooth and level one. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ We would not pluck a single flower out of the wreaths of fume won by Lieutenant Hobson and Victor Blue. But during ourcivul war there were hundreds of deeds of dar ing done by Southern men, with which those of Hobson and Blue can be compared only in degree. If we remember correctly another Alabama Lieutenant and five or six men vol unteered to mann a clumsy torpedo boat in the harbor of Charleston, though they knew that the service required meont certain death to every one of them. They ran the boat under a United States vessel, ex ploded the torpedoes, and went down with their foes to a watery grave. Sam Davis, the daring Mississippi boy, was grander than Muscius Scaevolu before Porsema’s camp fire. The latter gave only his right arm, while Duvis gave his life rather than speak one word that, would have saved him and involved a comrade. The army of Northern Virginia had con stantly in its service a considerable number of young men, our own Far ley among them, who lived habitu ally within the enemy’s lines, who made their way even to the head quarters of commanding officers, and whose during deeds and hair breadth escapes, belong rather to the realm of romance than to real life. But these were heroes and martyrs of a lost cause, and their names and their deeds are fast fading into oblivion. PRESS OPINION. The ballots remain fo be counted, but the sentiment in favor of Lieut. Governor Miles B. McSweeney suc ceeding himself seems to be entirely unanimous.—Charleston Critic. * * * The dispensary was started ns "a step toward Prohibition.” The tem perance people of the State art' anx ious for the final step to bo taken but the lovers of the loaves and fishes will not give up the "great moral institu tion” without a struggle.—Aiken Journal and Review. V * * Some of the papers are discussing Dewey’s polities, and some of the best papers say that he is an Ameri can and his politics have nothing to do with the ease. Correct. The less politics the better the man. at least it is so in South Carolina, where the most politics indicates the least man.—Anderson intelligencer. * * * Now that the Rubicon is crossed, and the principles of Washington and Jefferson have been abrogated. The Herald hopes to see the United States put forth its strong hand and stop further Armenian actrocities in Turkey, and whatever other outrages on decency and new world civilization may come under its notice.—Bamberg Herald. The war does not move as fust as impatient civillions. who have never seen anything in that line bigger than a fisticuff nor have figured per sonally in anything more momentous >han a little domestic broil, would have it move. A national war is a big thing, and big things must usually move slowly. This war may last for years and entail a burden on the nation which will press like an incubus on future generations. It took the United States two years to humble Mexico, which lies along side of her borders and which is only a feeble off-shoot of the Spanish na tion. It may take her much longer to humble Spain herself. It is said now that eminent sur geons declare that 40 per cent, of our soldiers would die at this season of the year in Habana, and that an attack on that city will be deferred until tall. In the meantime it is rumored that ship loads of provisions and army supplies are reaching Ha bana in spite of our blockading squadrons. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ At last one arrest has been made for the murder of Post Master Baker and some of his family at Lake City about the first of last March. The deed was one of the moat dastardly and inhuman in the annals of crime, and the details of its horrors excited wide-spread indignation. But t-o well do the murderers keep their se cret, or perhaps, so great was the fear inspired by their blind and heartless fury, that no one could be found who would furnish any clue to their identity. Then tbe deed was partially lost sight of in the more ab sorbing topic of the war. But there were detectives who did not lose sight of tbe large rewards offered for A Youthful IteMoucr. "Johnny,” exclaimed Mr. Blykins, "what are you doing?” "Thinking, sir.” "How dare you waste your time thinking, when you ought to bo study ing your lesson?” "I was thinking about my lesson.” "What book are you engaged in pe rusing at thia time?” inquired the old gentleman. "Natural history.” “Ah, a very useful and interesting study! It broadens tbe ideas and assists in taking the mind from the customary cares of life without tho danger of de moralization which sometimes attends frivoloos forms of diversion.” “Yes, sir.” "How far along have yon proceeded in tho study of natural history?” "I’m learning about amphibious ani mals now." "And a highly interesting branch of tho animal kingdom. Can yon name an amphibious animal—one with which we arc all familiar?" And Mr. Blykins folded his hands before him and gazed at his eon with a look of wise expectan cy. "1 think so. Is man an animal?" "In the scientific sense, yes.” "And an amphibious animal is one that consumes both air and water?" "Yes.” "Then a man is one. If ho weren’t, what would he the use of having any soda fountains?”—Washington Star. If our legislators would look into the law relating to vagrancy and dovetail something simple and effec tive into it that would reach this evil in the towns of the State, crime would decrease and the public would have some relief from the cancer of idleness which is constantly making inroads on the substance of busy and frugal communities. — Greenwood Journal. * * * Congressman J. W. Stokes should receive the thanks of the whole coun try for the way he is fighting bo put down gambling in futures. Tho high price of wheat and flour is not caused from a scarcity, but from one or two men cornering the market.

[Abbeville Medium.] Mayor Bell, of Due West, is a vigi lant public functionary and shows no favors to the lawless about his town. He got a hint that whiskey was being sold near the college by a blind tiger, caught John Lindsuy in the act and seized his liquor. That was last Tues day and before the constable could get the whiskey-seller to jai! at Abbeville Mayor Bull received the following note: "To Council of Due west, I hereby promise to pay the fine of John Lindsay ($*20) tomorrow morn ing. Due West, June 11,1898.” This note was signed by a distin guished Associate Reformed preacher who has always been opposed to Till man and the dispensary. He is the kind of a man A. C. Jones and the prohibitionists are for. looking Tlie Doctor Was Out. A doctor perpetrated a witticism at his own expense late one night last week. He had lost his latchkey, the door was locked, be was cold from a long ride, and tho more ho clanged tho doorbell tho more tho suspicion grew in his mind that somo one had chloro formed tho household. But his sister hud been aroused by the bell. "Some one to see the doctor and he’s out, and I shall harvo to answer tbe bell or they’ll ring all night," she said to herself and hurried down to tho door clad iu light attire and sleepy im patience. Opening tho door a little, not far enough to present her dishabille to auy intruding eye, she shouted into tho frosty air, "The doctor’s out!’’ and closed the door with the quickness of a camera slide. "Yea, I know he’s out," screamed tbe irate M. D., "and be wants to get in. ” —London Answers. Star Farm Statements.

I elm i b Mmi New* and * .mi'b r. j Mr. HcarHt. the proprietor of tbe enlerprioing New York Journal, has been tho subject of a good deal of un favorable criticism in his time. Hero is something to his credit: "The first offer made by Mr. Hearst was to form and equip a regiment of cavairy, not only paying all tho e xpenses of this regiment in the formation period, but to pay all of its expenses in the field. He asked that lie be allowed to serve in the ranks of his own regi ment, modestly stating that ho knew lie was unlit by his lack of military training to hold a coinn iision. The President was forced to decline his offer on account of the confusion which already exists over the indo- | pendent regiments. But when this offer was declined a proposition equally as generous was made and ac cepted. He has presented outright to the Government his fine steam yacht, the Buccaneer. He will at his own expense arm her and pay ail of the expenses of the boat during the war between the United States and Spain. He has applied to the Government to serve in any capacity on his own yacht, and is soon to be examined by a naval board before receiving his commission.” Some of the patriotic millionaire critics would do well to follow his example. "Money” seldom “talks” to better purposes than his, —• — — Deserves Credit. [Yorkvllle Yoemun.t Senator Tillman is entitled to con siderable credit for his amendment to the postoffice appropriation bill, by which contractors on county mail route have to swear that they have done the work themselves before they can get any pay. This will do away with the aggravating and pernicious system of su-bletting contracts. It will give the carrying of the mails to home people and if they don’t make more out of it than they do now it will be their own fault. The service under this arrangement ought to be vastly improved. It would be fur ther improved if the law could he still further amended so as to require that no one could carry the mail who is not able to spell and read English, and that no carrier guilty of drunk enness while on duty could collect his pay. The present country mail service is very shoddy in many res pects and cun be vastly improved. — *- Cure a Cold in One Day. Take Laxative |{romoQuiiiiiii> Tablets.
