H. l>eCX?VJVlI* if The Boers Seem as Strong as Ever and Nearly All Their Great Leaders Mill at Large—Kitchener and Robert* Losing Prestige Lucie Sam and the Philippines. t (Correspondence of The Ledger.! Blacksbpkg. April 22 —Some of the oldest inhabitants of the South claim that the past winter was the most severe since the Civil War. The recent national guest has sailed for Germany at last. Xo doubt the Prince feels somewhat Mattered to he honored so highly by one oi the lead ing nations of the world. Wu Ting Fang. the Chinese minister to the United States, is charged with retaining $80 000 of the money turned over to him by the United States gov ernment. If the charge is found to be true he will be removed from his present position. Ignorance is not bliss when one is conscious of his ignorance. England continues operations >n South Africa and it seems that all the Boers are not dead yet. Since the British government’s declaration that the war was over, there has been another bloody conflict in which the Boers were victorious. England is becoming somewhat alarmed, and it is well that she should. Even if the war is fought to a successful termina tion. it is feared that South Africa will never again be loyal to the Brit ish crown. If certain reports are true, the Boers are as strong now as they were when they fought the hat tie of Colenso. Nearly all of their really great leaders are still at large while at the same time many of the great captains of the British army have lost their prestige—even Lord Roberts and Kitchener are not wor- -hipped as l hey once were. The Boer war came on at a critical time foi England. Germany was crowding h>-r vmiIi cheap manufaet u-es ; France and Russia were hostile, and America was forging ahead at an unparalelled rate, entering into the world’s arena as ship builders. For a thousand years England has h-en a great and strong nation, but now she is declin ing in strength and the awful ques tion ari-es: ‘Will South Africa be i the grave of England?” Even if she I •a as to secure the gold fields of tin Rand, it is appalling at the number • f lives sacrificed in the attempt. A lew billion dollars, the flower of h‘ r army and her military reputation are buried in the bosom of South Africa. The Boer war is a strong reminder of the hr«ve and noble fight wielded by the American colonies against Great Britain in order to secure their freedom. Bor the United States has its weak ness (or meanness) also, as is shown in tlie cruel treat merit of the Philip pine islands. Perhaps it was great and noble to fight Spain and free Cuba. It was snatched from the brink of the grave and is being slowly nursed back to life. Right at this time it is shouting and wailing for help Mr. Roosevelt says he is de termined to give the Cubans aid, and for the sake of humanity and in the name of all that is great and good rhey should have help and that with- j i>ut delay But afier Cuba was set free the worst was yet to come. It would have been wise in Uncle Sam If he had used that twenty million dollars on poor Cuba instead of mak ing a worthless bargain; and then to think of the hundreds of lives lost and millions of dollars spent in order to get these islands to realize the sig < niticHDce of the trade Jt is a useless and degrading war, so far as this c luutry is concerned. England and the United States are I both spilling honor as well as blood i and it seems that one is about as deep < in the mire as the other is in the , mud. Will Greene has stepped in and from where Le is seated to the fire place there aie splendid signs that the tobacco industry is progressing rap- i idly in the sunny Southland He is i fllicted with a terrible breaking out i t the mouth and he must have been ih i king of Mrs Greene, for he sud- I denly hurst forth : i “A love of lutrinsli* value lies In the hearts of the true and brave, A love so noble (hut it never dlos While a spark of life remains.” Greene relapstd into silence but seeing our hopeless condition in the way of having semething to write, he came to our rescue: “Many of the young men nowadays are very wise, but tney know without doing. In i other words they corn for Do Less and C. More. If tlie sins of omis sion are as ureat as the sins of coin- mission then it follows that ail idle ness is sin. In that case there must be sins of a ieir.be nature to ac count for, by persoi s who appear i s Harmless as udo\e. Therefore it is • the duty of every person to watch for things to do and do them, as well :.s to guard agaitiet the Grigs that should not be done. Mao is a bun dle of misttk-s. aid we should not I be disheartened if we do not succeed at first, or even if we do not succeed 1 at ail from the world’s point ot view, j In the law of the land the result figures greatly but in the law of God the result is no item at all, I; we perform our duties according to the dictates of our consclenct, in the name of Hem who planned and con structed the world, cbeu the result is a thing that we are not responsible for in tlie sight of God. “R.-member, too, that the darkest hour is just before dey. When storms are raging and t be elements so furious at.d dark that no human eye can penetrate the daikness even then in a short time the sun will rite and shine with all its radiant light. “ Very often misfortune is only the means of urging one on to nobler and ALARMED. better undertakings Every trial that we undergo bravely ana every tempt ation that we resist, brings us one step nearer the goal, and if we are i faithful unto death, then, the silent tomo will prove a blessing in dis- ! guise.” Green sets forth no new ideas in 1 the foregoing, but he argues tiat some things will hear repeating more often than others.

Columbia April 22 —The tempera ture averaged about six degrees below normal during the week ending Mon day, April 21st, and the week was uniformly cool, with a maximum of 7G degrees at Bowman and a mini mum of 37 degrees at Liberty. Light frosts occurred on the 17'h and 18:h in Horry county. The sun was de ficient, the sky having been overcast the greater part of the week. The winds were generally light, but too cool for vegetation. Home rain fell in the State on the 14th, 10th, 17th and 19th. The rain fall of the 17th was general and was the heavb fc" for the week, except that in places heavier rainfalls uccompa Died thunder storms on the 19(b. The average for the week was less than an inch and was about normal, although in many places it interfered with farm work from the 17th to the close of the week. Preparation of iar^s made rapid progress, except that boltom lands are still too wet to plow. In many localities the week w <s uniformlyfav- oratle for farm work. but. owing to the prevsiliug low temperature, was unfavorable for germination of plant ed seeds over the central and western coHntit-s, and for the growth of young crops, especially corn and truck The f rttier is yellow and sickly n p'aces. I neie is a scarei 1 y of good corn and cotton seed. C jrn plantir g is nearing completion ov. r the ea“'ern counties, where much is up to fairl) good stands Oui not uniformly sand v. litre cultiva tion has Oefctut ; over Die central cooniies must ot toe corn crop has been planted, although but little is up; while over the western counties ot !> a small portion has beet, planted and scaro-lv any is up. Gut worms and crows have damagfd s r ands, ne cessitating s me replanting. Cotton planting is about half fin tsiied over the eastern counties, is well under way and will b- general this week over the central, and has only been hr gun over the western counties. Little, if any, is up to stands. Tobacco plants have been set out in a number of localities, but gener ally the plants are too small, although plentiful and healthy. Rice plant ing continues under favorable condi tions, and in places is nearing com pletion. There is a general improve ment noted in both wheat and oats, although neither grain is entirely satisfactory, owing to poor stands and lateness. Fruits of all kinds are considered safe, except peaches in the extreme western portion, where this fruit was seriousiy damaged, if not ruined, by th« cold during the spring. Gardens continue backward, bur Im k well. Pastures afford grazier except in the western counties, where g'-H 1 * has made scant growth. Watermelons are coming ud poorly.
