An expert has been to Columbia, and made an examination to ascertain ii the .epidemic there is real smallpox He reports that it is real smallpox, but of a mild type. This diagnosie should put an end to all controversy. Whether a mild type or not, those who have seen victims after recovery -eport that the disease leaves the face horribly pitted. It does not require much vanity for a woman or -man to dread havirg his or her face disfgured in such fashion, and the sensible thing to do is Lobe vaccinated. Only a day or two ago a colored man was in Winnsboro who had just recovered from the disease, and those who caw him say thathe was badly marked by the scars. Smallpox may break out in Wina boro a:y day. A great many people say that they will be vaccinated when the disease shall have made its ap pearance here. They do not seem to ! consider that they themselves may be the very ftrt victims, TiE following has the ring of the tru South Carolinian: "My old comrades, we anow whal war is. I do not ,hesitate to say that ] regret the one upon which we are now entering. But you are Soutl Carolinians; you are sons of the met who have shed immortal glory on the Palmetto nag in the'past and I would rather die than think that South Caro lina would not respond to the call made upon her for volunteers. Ai old as I -am, I can ride on horsebaci and wield a sword; if her quota is nol illed, if there is one name lacking tc make it fall, I !myself will volunteer, hie-is our country and it is our duty to make it the champion of freedom for all timetocome."-Wade Hampton in his speech in Charleaton. IT is astonishing how many people semto think thenmselve; fully compe tent to direct the movrements of it * ~ army or dleet. The newspapers are gratuitously advising the Governmenl - -~ bow the war with -Spain should be conducted, and the newspapers are reinforced by mien in every avocation To most people, action seems delayed too long. Without andertaking to say Spaniarids out of C(ba in short order It will be a great disappoitment if thi war drags along for a year. It look, * too much like trying to wage wai without shedding any blood. Tin public may expect the publi cation of a great amount of tals news. The Spanish Government wil purposely cause many false reports t< be circulated with a t wo-fold object one to deceive its people into the be, lief that it is winning victories and the other to mislead ns as to her plans. And our own Government is exercis. ing a proper secrecy as to plans oj campaign so that the chance of infor mation reaching the enemy may be minimized. ~TiE 'ttitude of Portugal is very suspecius. The Cape Verde Islandi belong to P'ortugal, and she continiuei to giye shelter to the Spenish fleet. The United States insists t. M Portngal must make ' the fleet move 'r Puonn~gal will be treated as an ally of Spain. Portugal will not be a very formidable ally. Cape Verde as 'a kind of base oi aupplies would be Portugalrs chisi help to te Spanish cause.

Anything: about war .is read' with interest these days and when one re counts incidents that came under his own observation the- interest is in creased. We have lieen told that our recent article entitled "What I Know about Soldiering" was much appre ciated by old soldiers and also by the younger people. Something more on the same line may not be out of place at this juncture. It fell to our lot dar ing the late war to serve in an infantry command which always had "a place in the picture near the flashing of the guns." At Gaines's Mill and at Second Manassas we were on the detail to bury the dead. So we had two ine opportunities to look upon the battle field when the joy of the conflict was over. The slaughter at Gaines's Mill was terrific. 'Orr's Riles lost ninety men killed and more than three hun dred wounded in the short space of ten minutes. It was a melancholy sight when we began our task next morn ing. From away in the distance the sound of cannon in pursuit of the enemy fell upon our ears, but a solemn stillness rested upon the field where all was noise and tumult the da- be fore. Oar comr-des lay as they iell, stiff in death. Nearly every man had one hand or finger pointing upward to the sky. In nearly every case their eyes were open, but there was no lustre in them. The marks were plain where, in the agony of death, their fingers had torn up the earth and their heels had dug into the ground. One body lay across a pine bush, the face turned up to the sky, with a great furrow plowed through the forehead by a minnie ball, and the blood hardened on his pale faca. Farther on another young man lay up:n his back, his hands peacefully crossed upon his breast, and the top of his skull blown. off. His brains were near by and when we buried him we picked up his brains with our bloody hands and re Dlased'them in the skull. We buried five in one grave, wrapping their blan kets around them and layitg them away without cere ony. When we carried a Lady to Vie grave two men would take hold of .he shoulders, two would have charge of a rail supporting the hips, and one would grab the feet. We made quick wor k of it. At Second "lanassas we held a posi tion for more thad two days. We filled a railroad cut with dead Yan kees and along the line of the railroad beyond the cut it was possible to step from one corpse to another for a mile. During the fight a large red-headed man from Pickens County died to our left within five ieet of us, in gteat agony. His gasping for breath was painful to witness, but there was no time for sympathy or help. The bodies of the enemy lay before us dar ing :e two days fight, and as it was in Augnst the stench was almost unen durabie. Tje bodies were swollen t. almost twice their .natural size an t when 'we lifted them up for burial it setmed as if they would fall to piecei. The woods were full of blow-fies wh'ch were so pestiferous that the de tail could, scarely keep them off their faces and 'out of their months. The scene - at Chancellorsville was horrible beyond the con-.eption of any civilian. On the 3rd of May, 1863, we pressed the enemy in such hot pur suit that they set fire to th3 woods to delay our advance. It was of no avail and as our line still went forward the pitiful spectacle was presented of the wounded enemy encircled jn flames and helpless to escape their..fate. The ga of the wound l ancir,g ine which rose high above'the tilinult rr.ade up an appalling scene that would overcome many man of the present day. It is Easy to Tell. People who fail to look after their health are like the carpenter who neg lects to sharpen his tools. People are not apt to get anxIous about their health soon enough. If you are "not quite well" or "half sick" have' you ever thought that tour kidneys may be the cause of your sickness? It is easy to tell b~y setting aside y.nr urine for_ twenty-four hours; a sediment or settlinig indicates an un healthy conditica of the kidneys. When urine st-:ins linen it is ev,idence of kidney trouble. Too frequent de sire to urinate, scanty supply, p:in or dull ache in the back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. There k satisfaction inknowing that the great remedy, Dr. Kimer's Swamp-. ioot, fulfidb every wish in relieving weak or diseased kidneyd and all forms of bladder and urinery. troubles.
