SUARY OF WAR NEWS. The guns from Morro Castle fired several times at the :1ag ship New York, but the New York was Ave miles off and the officers went to bed undisturbed. The signals were con tinued, and no attention was paid to the Castle's guns. The fighting fleet now blockading Cuba had an exciting chase after a warship Saturday, but it turned out to be a. Italian warship, and the gun ne:s were disappointed. John Sherman has sent his resigna tion as Secretary of State to the Presi dent. Sherman says that the reports about his failing health and mental decay are untrue, but that in an ex citing crisi; like the present a younger man is neeaed. It is thought that Judge Day, who has virtually filled the office during the present adminis tration, will succeed Sherman. The - President's proclamation calls for 125,000 volunteers to serve for two years, unless sooner discharged. South Carolina's quota will be 2,230*. It is pretty well settlad that General Lee, Theodore $oosevelt and Col. Fred Grant will be commissioned brigadier-generals. Headquarters for volunteers will be established at Washington, Atlanta and Rishmond. Senor Cisneros was in Charleston Saturday on his way to see General Lee. His daughter is now a quest of General Lee's family. John Jacob Astor has offered t raise and equip a battery of artillery at an expense of $50,030. The Spanish fleet was stiil at Cape Verde Islands on Sunday, but it was --- rumored that it would move Monday. * Cape Verde belongs to Portugal, and it is said that the Uniled States hare -notified the Government at Lisbon that, under internatiornal law, the fleet must be made to more or remain there * during i ar.? This poionn th ar o the mlts 't~ales arises out of the fact that Po ural 5s neutral. The Mangrove has left Key West to cut the cable between Cuba and Spain. The United States Government has assumed absolute .supervision of all eable messages sent from Key West to Cuba. Thz interest in the war is now in tense. The President has made a call fqr about 125,000 vol .ntcers, and they will be apportioned among the States according to population. South Caro lina's qtota will be 2,230, and from indications this number of volunteers - will be Iarnished without any trouble Governor Ellerbe has recommended to the President that Major Garling ton, U. S. A., now stationed at Wash ing andla native of Newberry County, Khe appointed brigadier general of the South Carolina volunteers. This action seems to meet with general approval. Some confusion seems to - a at exactly how and when the ;overnor will call for volunteers. QOe plan irat suggested was that he would order The entire State malitia to Columbia, unteer, but tbis plan seems to have * been- changed. Under the bill just passed by Congress, the Governor will have the right to appoint regimental officers. It is said that Major J. K. Aiston stands a good chance of secur ing a colonelcy of a regiment. Major Alston is a native of Fairfield. - How's This? * We offer One Hundred Dollars Re ward for any cas of Catarth that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Curo. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Props.

During a pleasant Visit to friends in Laurens County-families that have for generations past been regarded as the landmarks of that historic county (and in whose homes genuine hospi" tality reigns supreme)-it was the privilege of your correspondent to visit and make a close inspection of the places above mentioned. The former an imperishable mona. ment to the Southern Presbyterian Church, Laurens County and the town of Clinton, which should justly be proud of such a noble acquisition- an institutign which bears the name of one of the most distinguished theolo gians the world has ever known-the immortal Thornwell, who'was himself an orphan. October Ist, twenty-one years ago, heralded the advent of that home for orphans-3ne building only on the premises with about ten inmates, ex clusive of the president's family. The solitary building received the name of "Home of Peace," and is now reserved for the accommodation of large girls. E!even substantial buildings now adorn the spacious campas; coucrete, granite and brick being the materials used in their construction. Their interiors are neat and convenient in every respect handsomely finished, much of the work being done in the technical school. -demorial Hall preseats a beautiful interior, while upon its walls is sus pended a tablet of finest Italian marble inscribed to the momory of the Sainted Divine in honor of whom this noble institution was named. Faith Cottage :or little girls; Seminary, where all are given the advantages of a liberal education; McCormick Home for large girls; Harriet Home for girls; Augus tine Home for boys; Infirmary, where the sick are faithfully nursed; "Chil dren's Gift Academy" and Technical School. Order, heaven's first law, is strictly observed in every department and neatners prevails throughout. The dormitories of the small boys bear testimony to their training also. All praise t the venerable and effi cient president, Rev. Wm. P. Jacobs, D. D., who has indeed proved himself a "lather to t11e fatherlts=," whose orphan family at present, numbering 165, consists of represen:atives from Scotland, Vermont, and several South era Scates. Our uative coanty (Fair field) has orphans there als). MUSKGIOVE'S MILL. In Laurens County, on the bank of the Enoree River, (with its lovely shoals, picturesque and romantic scen ery), stand_ the historic Muckgrove's Mills. the scene- of a battle (August 18, 1780,) between the Americans under Col. Williams, of Ninety-Six, aided by Cols. Shelby and Clark, and a regim:nt of British and Tories under -;ol, Innis, in which the latter were routed. There are many spots of in terest rendered memxorable during the struggle of our forefathers for Ameri can independence. On the crest of a hill, near the banks of the river, in Laurens County, stands the umiller's residence (Allen Musk grove by name) whose daughter Mary has been justly styled a heroine of the Revolution, having rendered auch con spicuous services during those troub ons times,-whose ii a ttered by the de sy) is at to al el fe,-h -(Butler) having been ..ofined as a prisoner of war in her father's house. A portion of the old house is preserved from whence the dauntless hero made the hazardous leap, and the tree which rendered such friendly aid in receiving him among its spreading boughs-a silent but forcible reminder of that eventful nrht. The old mill house, long since reuced to ashes, has been replaced by another on or near the same spot. A powerful combination of machinery is operaed under the roof entirely water -grist, saw, fiour mills, thresher and gining. -Standing within its walls (in Lau ren'* County) the eye can rest almost at a glance upon two adjoIning coun ties-Spartanburg and Union. On the opposi;e banks of the river, in Spar tanburg County, is the "Gullied Hill" -grand and majestic in appearance with its red gailies and waving pines, touching high above the rippling waters of the stream below. Upon its crest were displayed the bes con-light that apprised the gallant Butler of the approach of his friends, Horse-Shoe Pobinson aid John R'mnsey, and was a signal that the hour for his liberation had arrived ; the former a marvel of warlike valor, the "Here of the Wax haws," a modern Hercnles, who was ever and an.n rendering timely aid to his compatriots. Within a stone's throw of the mill (in Laurens County) is a lone neg lected grave, on a rugged hillside over looking the river, reputed to bc the last resting place of Mary Muskgrove, with rude stones for marble, simply adorned (in the balmy month of June) with Cherokee roses, which seem to cling voluntarily to the hallowed mound. H-.E -~ April 23, 1898. It is Easy to Tell. People who fail to look after their health are like the carpenter who neg lects to sharpen his tooks. People are iot apt to get anxious about their health soon enough. If you are "not quite ivell" or "half sick" have you ever thcought that your kidneys may be the cause of your sickness? It is easy to tell by settwng aside your urine for twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an un healthy condition of the kidneys. When' urine Etains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent de sire to urinate, scanty supply, pain or dull ache in the back is also convincing proof that the- kidneys and bladder are out of order. Theis Is satisfaction inknowing that the great remedy, Dr.KIilmer's Swamp Root, fulfills every wish in relievinig wak or dise'a;cd kidneyd and all forms of bladder and urinery troubles. Not only does Swamp-Root give new life' and activity to the kidneys-the cause o trouble -but by treating the kidneys it acts as a tonic for the entire consti tution.

Even if the gear is properly adjsted there is risk of the shoulders becom ing galled from the chafing of the col lar.
