?'Richard: Saddlo white Surrey for
tho flold to-morrow. Sec that my
staves (Stirrups) are sound and not too
heavy." Governor Ellorbo gave tho
Press the followiug interview:
"Governor, what do you think of tho
prospect of the war with Spain. "
"War Is a very serious matter and
should not at any time he undertaken
except for special and sufllelont rea
sons. If, however, thocourt of Inquiry,
decides that the Spanish government
Is responsible for the blowing up of tho
Maine it sooma to mo that war is in
evitable. The dastardly act of taking
tho lives of 266 unsuspecting Amorican
seamen while quietly asleep in a
friendly port should not be treated
lightly by any nation of courage. The
conservative policy which has been
pursued by the administration is to bo
much commended.
"It war be declared and you aro
called upon what do you propose to
do?"
"I would order out tho SUto troops
Immediately."
"How many men could you put out
on short notice?"
"I have about 5,000 armed and
equipped, who would respond to a man
aud fight a circular saw to protect the
honor of the Amorican Hag."'
"Who would you put in command?"
"If tho troops of my State are put in
tho Hold I will take command my sol f.
1 havo ordered Adjutant General
Watts to fully equip every company
and direct the captains to rocruit thoir
companies to the numbers required."
Our Governor's Alexandrian spirit is
to bo commended ? to the stalwart
youth of the State. But this is not the
way it is dono. If the State is Invaded
tho Governor may call the "mellsb"
but this embraces tho lame anil tho
halt from the cradle to the grave and
is intondod to preserve tho peace at
home. If there be war the Presldont
calls for troops by regiments of volun
teers?who soloct thoir otlicers and tho
President appoints their Generals.

Mr. Bryan gets "moneys" for his
leotures and according to the Abbo
villo Press and Banner receieved $:!00
for his Duo West Lecture. And now
tho newspapers are discussing the
othics of a candidate for tho Presi
dency charging for his po.ltical litera
ture as delivered from the platform.?
Now, in our view, it largely turns on
If ho i? a candidate or an expectant
candidate? Then again it is a matter
of taste with the payers and the payee.
Even Thomas Jefferson was not alto
gether careful about monoy matters
and through a distinguished friend en
deavored to have tho Virginia Legis
lature pass an Act authorizing him
to put a body of cheap mountain land
into a lottory scheme. Tho Legislature
declined the proposition. Jefferson's
biographers had a delicate tafdx in ex
plaining the matter. But we should
not nicely criticise great men as to
practical financial matters.
Our good contemporary, the Abbe
ville Tress and Banner intimates that
there was a strong llavor of toadyism
towards tho Hon. W. J. Bryan in this
State. There must be some mibtake.
>Vhen we call on the gentlemanly head
of the Bank to have our little pieeo ot
paper discounted until tho fall our
manner is usually a little soupy to
wards that useful personage. But
when wo call wPh our pockets in.a
utato of plethora loaded with the cur*
rency of the country we usually call
the Cashier Dick, Tom or Harry and
order him to hurry up and stir his
stumps. Just so whon Mr. Bryan was
around, it is understood it was "pay as
you go. Ho had tho "filthy lucre" in
exchange for his good financial cur
rency.
The Edisto Hilles, tho Tlllman Vol
unteers and the Cadets of the Colleg
iate Institute have boon within tho
last few days furnished with now
arms. This may or may not boa part
Of tho general preparation now being
made for war. Thoy aro informed,
however, that in the ovont of war tho
organized militia would not bo re
quired to take the field beyond tho
State limits .?Orangeburg cor. to Tho
State.
All wrong. "Turn tho battle to tho
gate," as Is said in Josuah. We don't
want tho light in the city limits among
the womem. Neither do the Orange
burg boys. They aro gamecocks, and
would not light on thoir own dunghill.
Carry tho war to their gridirons.
Edward Marsden, a student in bane
Theological Seminary, Cincinnati, is
the first native Alaskan to recelvo a

Judge lionet hero, and tho other
Judgoiof the State havo rofrainod very
sensibly from forcing contllet with the
United States Circuit decisions on O.
P. Stores ponding the question now be
fore tho United States Supreme Court.
It appears that tho Grand Jury of
"Grand old Kdgeliold" have not lost
their old tiino manliness. Unless thorc
was more in tho case against Mr. Me
Namara than the charge, koeping an
<). P, Store, tho question naturally
arisos as to what kind of stuff the Sol
icitor of that Circuit Is made of. We
certainly could not have the assurance
to plaeo the responsibility upon tbe
wearer of tho silken gown. Hero is
what wo see:
"Tho grand jury, one of the most re
spoctable looking ones ever empaneled
in Edgelleld, did not find a true bill
against Mr. McNamara, tho o. p' man.
.fudge Jownseud ruled that no one
Other than a State dispenser had any
legal right to sell whiskey In South
Carolina and ordered tho Grand .Jury
to lind a true bill against the o. p. man.
The grand jury refused to obey the
.Judge's order and thus the ease stands.
Mr. McNamara is a# very orderly and
well behaved uinn in every way. "
Tho correspondent describes the
grand Jury as "respectable looking.
From their action we are to conclude
that thoy did not belie their appear
ance.

Governor Kllerbo and Adjutant Gen
eral Watts went up against each other
on the scales yesterday. The Govern
or's normal avordupois is 142 pounds,
but his fighting weight is much inoro,
should we havo that little "scrap"' with
Spain. The General wa* able to push
the indicator up to 122 pounds. These
figures are official, having boon made,
by Commissioner Vance and members
of tho Hoard of Control on tho State

The Latest.
Vast war preparations proceed ener
getically. The situation urn hanged.
It is said the report of the inquiry
Court as to the cause of Maine disaster
w ill be ready at the last of this week.
The question remains as of old?"Is it
peace?"
In the appointment of Mellon, of
Columbia, to be Marshall. McKinley
looks to the fiitore of bis party. Ac
cording to the Democratic papers of
Columbia they could not have done
better themselves. Ditto In the case
of Fair, in Xewberry.

Wliat 1? all tliis Fuss About ?
What is all lhi> fuss about ?
The sinking of the Maine"
I'm somewhat 'sprised beyond a doubt.
Hen Tlllman was to blame,
Because when he was In tbe State,
All tho women and the men
Who opposed htm as chief Magistrate,
Laid everything to Hon.
No matter how the weather wont,
Lei her shine or let her rain,
I've looked for a message t? bo sent, -
"Old Hen caused the wreck of the
Maine.''
We mint him up to Washington,
To represent us there;
And now the Maine hns been blown up,
O where was Hen! oh, where '
Who caused he Niggor at Lake City
To get his brains blown oat?
I will tell you in my ditty,
it was laid to Hen, no doubt.
Rut back to the Maine, Hie fatal boat.
Manned by a gallant crew,
Without a sound or bugle note
All went down but a tew.
That gallant few who now remain.
Survivors true and hravo
Of that Ivoat, the fatal Maine,
Which wont down to a watery grave.
Are now tho heroes of the day
Are worshiped both on hind and sea:
They are getting ready for the fr.iy
To sot the Cuban patriots free.
If France decides to join with Spain,
Then will come the tug Of war:
Uncle Sam will defend the Main?',
Of course, in Spanish waters and
Havana's bar.
Tin? Southern grey will join the blue,
Though over thirty years ago
Thoy mut each Other, hravo and true,
Now shoulder to shoulder they'll
meet the foe.
Old Johnny Rob Will take a hand,
Will put on his old gray jacket.
And when ho gets mi Spanish land
Don't you forget he'll make a racket.
OI<l Johnny KohhnH raised some hoys
Since the war between the Stales,
Who will make a considerate noise
When Within the Spanish gates.
The Southern rebs and Yankee boys
Will be a jolly crowd, you hot,
From South Carolina to Illinois,
They'll stand together, don't you for
get.
Uncle Sam and old John Hull
Will wipo tbetn out of existence,
Franco and Spain will have a handful,
'Tis folly to show resistance.
'Jar gallant Gulp, of the Union Times,
Who fought on Ureenwood'a gory
held,
Won't dread torpedoes or the mines,
Nor to a Spaniard will he yield.
Then Capt. Dnekott, of Southern fame,
I Ins offered his services, too,
We know no man who is more giunc,
That wore the gray or blue.
Blohelborgor, of our grand old State,
Will stand to ship (ill ho dies;
Just give him a pistol, No. 48,
And he'll plug those Spaniards' eyes.
Other Southern soldiers
Are eager for the fray,
And stand ready and a waiting
Till the band begins to play.
<iot ready then, my Southern boys,
And ?et those Cubans free;
Get your guns and join the light,
Defend our (ieneral I,ce.
Hut just tell Ibeiii that the writer
Of this jumbled little song
Is not a regular lighter -
Not ready to join (he throng.
In Ilm war between the States
He thinks lie got satisfied -
Got shot between the shoulder blades,
Fought, b|cd, and almost died.
Hut hoys, laying all iokas aside.
War Is a terrible thing;
You re not taking your girl to ride
Or sitting in a hammock to swing.
Neither are you engaged In a dance
And promenading all;
For you must meet the Spaniard's lance,
And face the cannon ball.
Go alow, my lads! remember what I say,
Stop! think before von start to fight,
Then, perhaps, some future day
You'll say Old Vet waa right.
