With the gift of life came the struggle for its maintenance and perpetuation. In its earliest con sciousness dwells an “inward horror of falling into naught,” and in the light of its earliest hopes lurks the spectre of possible annihilation. What is life? Who can tell? Sci ence babbles poorly about it, and her wisest disquisitions are unintelligible jargon. Where is the seat of life? Alas! nono may know. When you search for it with the scalpel, it eludes your sight; when you batter down and capture the citadel the in mate has flown. Yet consciousness testifies to a mysterious, awful reality which we call life—an over-powering, all-per vading presence exacting homage and inspiring dread, now swelling in our hopes, and now sinking in our fears, now rippling and sparkling in our joys and now brooding sombre and moody over the ashes of departed hopes or stalking ghost-like in the darkness of present sorrows—yet through all too sacred to be touched, too awful to be seen, it must ever be shielded from the profane touch of mortality, veiled from the vulgar gaze of curiosity, and like God him self, known only by its manifesta tions. Could the fingers of mortality handle this indubitable entity, could the keen eyes of eager curiosity pierce the mysterious veil, then should we be able to answer positively and definitely the oft repeated ques tion: “Is life worth the living?” But the answer to this ouestion can never be fcuud among all the treas ures of earthly lore. We grope blindly in the storehouse of worldly wisdom, we appeal in vain to the forces of nature, we learn nothing from observation and experience, and we push on dreaming of possi bilities, fearing the worst and hoping for the best. »There are no idle spectators of this life-struggle. All are in it—in to the full, In to the finish. It is not alone the poor and hungry battling for bread, that feel the strain. The rich, too, are lighting the battle of life, and the struggle for them is just as intense and uncompromising as the bread-struggle of the poor. For really it is with them, too, a strug gle for bread—not the mere bread that nourishes the body, but bread that nourishes desires never to be gratified, that is demanded in ever increasing quantity by a hunger never to be satiated, because that to which this hunger and these desires belong, is life, and life is infinite and eternal. Nor is this struggle confined to the human race alone. The largest ani mal that walks, the tiniest insect that crawls, the fish that swims and the bird that flies, are all guarding with true instinct and zealous care the sacred trust of life, are all con scious of its inviolability, are all thrilled with horror at its threaten ed destruction. When we pass the bounds of the animal kingdom we enter another wide, bewildering scene of what in our ignorance, we can only call life. We behold the grass everywhere spring ing up we know not how, the trees spreading their branches and push ing their tops upwards, the flowers blooming In rich and variegated beauty, and all around us we see evi dences of a vast mysterious power in constant operation, filling tne mind with awe and ever baffling the human understanding. “Every clod feel* hii Instinct of mlirlit And riMe* to a soul In ki uh* rnd liowera.” Here, too, are all the evidences of a struggle. Every tree and shrub, every vine end blade of grass is fight ing for its life, and when marred or wounded by violence will summon all its recuperative powers to the rescue and will resist t^ie slow sod stealthy approaches of disease with a con stancy and tenacity akin to moral heroism. We call that mysterious power which fills the plan, the principle of life. How inadequate the name! How tame ami unsug- gestive the appellation! If that is life, is it the same life that fills the animal frame? Do man and the tiger and the tree all have hold of the same life, and the dilference is to be found only in the manifestations? Who knows? What means the universal instinct which prompts all animated nature to battle for life? Whatever else it may mean, it indicates not obscurely that life is invaluable and must not be affected by material changes. Then, can life really ever be destroy ed? We think not. That from which the universal instinct recoils with horror, and towards which all animated nature is tending, is not the absolute destructioc of life, but the severance of the connection be tween life and material bodies. That which we cal! death is but the disorganization and chemical decom position of matter—matter in itself so fur as we know, inert and uncon scious. When this mysterious con nection of life and matter is severed in one we love, our hearts are wrung with grief and our days are clouded with sorrow. We lay him in the grave and say he is dead. But that is only the form of that which we loved. The medium of communica tion between us has been interrupted. The form has been marred, the beauty of the flesh has been un woven. That is all. That which we loved is not there. But it still lives, for life is eternal; and “The whole broad universe is life; There is no death.” THOSE APPOINTMENTS. Governor Ellerbe has appointed the field and staff officers of the Second Regiment of S. C.|Volunteers. Wiliie Jones, of Columbia, is appointed col onel : Henry T. Thompson, of Dar lington, lieutenant colonel; Have lock Eves, of Bamberg, and Julius G. Wagner, of Charleston, are the majors. The upper counties get a few of the minor staff appointments. The idea seems to be that the up- country will furnish the soldiers and the middle and low-country the officers. We know not what legitimate influ ences have been brought to bear on Governor Ellerbe, nor how strong a pull has been made on his political proclivities at the expense of his judgment. We do know, however, that Watson, candidate for Governor, bus been soundly berating him on the stump, for appointing a former conservative colonel of the first regi ment, a fact which shows that Wat son is unfit to bo the Governor of the State or to be trusted with any other office within the gift of the people. But whatever be the motives that actuated Governor Ellerbe in these appointment’s, the fact remains that the up-country, to all appearances, has been studiously and persistently ignored, and the weak promise from the Governor that he will - appoint Ward law to the next colonelcy, if another regiment be called for, is a pitiable little attempt at reparation and conciliation, worthy only of con tempt and disgust. On every principle of fairness and justice, the up-country was entitled to the colonelcy of the Second Regi ment and \V r ardlaw was the logical candidate—a man of military educa tion and experience, who, in patriot ism, intelligence, tact, character, gallantry and all that makes the offi cer and the gentleman, is easily the peer of Col. Willie Jones or any other one of the upplicantf. Gov. Ellerbe was acquainted with his merits and he knew that he was endorsed by the solid sentiment of the up-country, both civil and military, yet either tnrough fear of such cavilers as Wat son, or in the hope of some little po litical advantage for himself, be un wisely and unjustly, ignored both merit and sentiment. We would not encourage a spirit of sectionalism ; patriotism ought to be broader than any section of this great country. Neither would we say any thing to discourage future enlistment: but we cannot go so far as the Greenville News and adviae our young men to volunteer, no mat ter who their officers may be. The comfort, safety and honor of troops depend, In a large measure, on the officers who lead them, and the troops have a right to demand that they shall be given offleera whom they know to be brave and compe tent men. ENTRIES FROM OUR DAY BOOK. W. W. Vandivcr has succeeded James Mcpowell as editor of the Folk County News. If the new editor but maintains the high standard estab lished by his predecessor tho Folk County News has many days of use fulness in store for itself. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ It is announced officially by the authorities at Washington, that a squadron under Commander Watson will sail for the coast of Spain. Either this is a bluff for the benefit of Camara’s squadron which is thought to bo heading for Manila, or Uncle Sam means straight out business and no foolishness. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ It is announced that Gen. Milos will soon go to Cuba and that Gen. Merritt will also soon set sail for the Philippines. Our renders have per haps heard this news some dozens of times before, but it is cf such mo mentous interest that it ought not to be allowed to grow stale. Remember also that John Smith has already gone to California. When the old Confederate hears that Joe Wheeler is leading the van of our army in Cuba and that with his Rough Riders tie is driving in the Spanish out-posts before Santiago, the news has an old-time ring about it, which he has not heard before in thirty-four years, and he silently asks himself if the clock of the world has gone back over a third of u cen tury. or is he only dreaming? There have already been volumes written about the little fight our troops had with the Spaniards after landing on Cuban soil, and, the daily papers are still full of detailed ac counts written by different corres pondents. The killed on our side aro reported all the way from twelve t thirty five, and the wounded from thirty to seventy. Thirty four years ago. a five line telegram would have been thought sufficient to cover all the particulars of such a battle. The banks have given notice that after to-morrow, the 1st of July, every check drawn on deposits, must be stamped with a two cent revenue stamp. This is just a little foretaste of the war tax, which will brood like a vampire over this land for genera tions to come. This tax on checks seems small, and will amount to nothing comparatively on large amounts; but we should think that the tendency of it will be to discour age small deposits, and to that ex tent curtail the business of the banks. Only one man has deserted from the South Carolina Regiment since it went to Chickamauga. His name is Bowers, and he went from Abbeville county. Charges have been regu larly preferred against him by his company commander. No doubt the poor fellow found that war wasn’t the thing he thought it was, and no doubt he will be captured and will soon learn that desertion is a remedy ten times worse than the disease. A soldier who deserts in active service is almost certain to be shot by order of a court martial. It is a bitter remedy, but by no other means can proper discipline be maintained. The glorious showers continue and the hoarts of farmers are gladdened and encouraged. During a trip through portions of Cherokee and of Spartanburg county last week, we observed on every farm that the plows and hoes were going at a lively rate, and the corn and the cottou, though small for the time of the year, weie looking healthy and vigorous. Oats were very low owing to the protracted drought, but the heads were good, and some farm ers seem to have harvested good crops. Nearly all of the stubble lands are already sown in peas, and the farmers are generally planting them in their corn fields. This is wise and progressive. The farmer who thinks and works is bound to win. There la more in the man than the land, yes, and the rains thrown in. There are some live Issues before our people in the present political campaign, and there will be aome live questions that will face our next Legislature and press for a practical solution. The danger la that In the all-absorbing topic of the war, these home matters will not receive due consideration. There are interests at stake which have a far more direct bearing an the wollfare and happi ness of our people than the issues of the war, whatever.they may be, and of far more importance than any that existed sight years ago, when the work of so callsd Reform began and our people ran wild with passion and sxcitement. Ws do not expect to be the cham pion of any candidate for office, bat wo do expect, at the proper time, to have something to say on some of these questions that affect t lie hap piness and prosperity of our country. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The charter of the town of Gaffney ought to bo amended again or a new one obtained. One thing needed and suggested by common sense, is that tiie center of the incorporation should be moved nearer to tho center of pop ulation. The center is now located near the Gaffney Seminary building and the corporate limits extend one mile in every direction from that point which is on the southern out skirts of the town. If there is either sense or expediency in such a condi tion we fail to see it. One result is that a good deal of town tax is col lected on property which belongs strictly to the country, and ought not to pay a tax to tho town. Wo know’ that it is impossible for any town to bestow the same care upon Its suburbs that it does upon the town proper, but every town ought to spend at least as much money on its suburbs, as it collects from them in taxes. Any other course is unjust oppressive. Now, we don’t believe that one tenth of the money collected from the Limestone side of the town has ever been ap plied to the benefit of that portion of it. True, tho street, or rather the road, has been worked, but the roads have been worked all over the country. The side walk In places are washed in gullies, the cows and yearlings are frequently com- mitteeing depredations, pistols and guns are handled recklessly and fired promiscuously, while there is no police protection against drunken brawls and midnight orgies. Yet the property in the villa of Limestone and along tho street, or rather road, leading to Limestone, is assessed for taxation at town valuation. This is not right, and we don’t believe that the good people of the town will en dorse such treatment. PRESS OPINION. It looks very much as if Broxton Bridge is going to afford the route for Solicitor Bellinger to walk into the Attorney Generalship.—Bamberg Herald. * * * Frank Satan is the name of a colo nel of a regiment in Tennessee mus tered in for Cuba. He ought to give the Spaniards a hot time, if there is anything in a name.—Spartanburg Herald. * * * There are times when a serious and thoughtful man is either forced to believe in the theory of evolution or tear down all his mile posts on the roadway of human progress.—Green wood Journal. * * * Col. Watson will not ride into the gubernatorial chair by denunciation of Governor Ellerbe through general and unproved charges. He must show that he himself is fitted for the position.—Trenton Call. * * * The death of Dr. John L. Girardeau has cost South Carolina a man whose character, intellect and course of life made him worthy to be ranked among the greatest and best of all the many great and good men she has given to the world.—Greenville News. * * * Governor Ellerbe is the only one of the candidates for Governor who has a practical plan for the reduction of taxes. He advocates biennial ses sions of the legislature, which would save the State at least thirty thous and dollars a year.—Sumter Herald. * * * “Uncle George” Tillman's platform appears to be a pretty good thing but then W. H. Ellerbe has made us a good governor so far and The Gazette fails to see why he should not suc ceed himself. Let’s give Ellerbe, the governor, another term.—Clinton Gazette. * * * If the War Revenue bill be studied closely it will be found that as be tween the west and the south on the one side, and the east on the other, the west and the south got the worst of it, with the tax piled on to almost everything made or consumed there, while the east, and particularly New England, escaped with practically no tax at all.—Pickens Sentinel.

Those who run down the town and county to strangers. Those who show no hospitality to its visitors. Those who refnso to subscribe towards schools and churches. Those who oppose everything that is not likely to be of pecuniary bene fit to themselves. Thofe who never subscribe, adver tise or in any way patronize their county paper, and are always ready | to find fault with everything it con- 1 tains. Those who think of nobody but “me and my wife, my son John and his wife, us four and no more.” — Mc’s Estermate of “My Dear Appelt.” I Hampton Guardian.] In the last issue of the Manning Times Editor Louis Appelt, in a card signed by “Many Friends,” is urged to enter tho Senatorial race of Clar endon. He will decide upon the matter before the county campaign begins. If elected it is safe to say that this brilliant and able journ alist will represent his county with marked ability and wisdom. For this worthy champion of the peo ple’s rights there should be nothing too good in the county where his editorial and general qualifications are so well known and appreciated. — ———— Forty Days Without Eating. [Uni-in Now Era.] After existing for over 40 days without eating a morsel of food, Miss Sallie West, of West Springs, Union county, has reconsidered the resolution that she had been com manded by Divine Providence not to eat, and is now on a fair road to the recovery of her wasted strength. Until she was on the very brink of the grave of starvation, her friends and relatives were utterly powerless to persuade her to take nourishment. It is a matter of congratulation to them that her life is at last saved. —• - Senator Jefferies Declines.
