S. (!., April 12, 1898. A Bad Break. Two weeks ago live ondets of tin Citadel Acadomy in Charleston broko tho barracks at night in violation of tho rules and attended boiuo social function. A cadet named Cantoy, who was not on official duty reported tho boys to the Superintendent, where upon they wore expplled but subse quently restored, and punished. It be came known to the school that Cantoy gavo thorn away, which tho school re garding a violation of student ethics some seventy of tho boys demanded that Cantlcy leave the school. H?ing backed by the professors he declined and' on Monday night tho boys in a great crowd ittemptcd violently to get bold of Cautey and ex pol hlm, The city police,called In by the Super? Intendent restored order. It is no new thing for hoys to get up a muss set ting up thoir own standard of correct conduct against the laws [and rules of discipline. They are usually wrong, but sensible people usuahly deal gently with them. Col. Coward a gal lant Veteran and prudent Superin tendent will bo sustained. Sixty-four boys of the four classes have l)oon expelled by the Board of Visitors. This board is composed of the Chairmen of *M military commit tees in the two branches of the Gen oral Assembly, the 3tato Superin tendent of Education, the Adjutant General of the State, tho Governor and flvo gentlemen appointed by the Gov ernor. The expelled students wore half of the school. It Is a calamity to tho State. Wo think that the Hoard might have dono bolter. Tho Cadets should have been suspended for one month and allowed to state, as a con dition of returning in writing that they acted pursuant to tho recognized code of conduct in such cases, and tuat if mistaken and wiong they re gretted the fact. It is not too lato for tho Governor, or Chairman Gadsdcn to review the action. Laurens has two buys who stood up to the high standard of cadet chivalry in South Carolina as they understand it, Nance, of Cross 11111 and balle, of tnis city. Their friends will applaud their bearing. Balle has been lir9t man in his class for four years and would have graduated in July. The War. The expected hostilities taust be largely a contest of sea monsters.? Spain Is hardly a second rate I'ower in the world to-dcy, while the United States may bo classed, with her great population and resources, as a first class I'ower With the present steel armored ships, electric appliances, dynamite, torpedoes, destroyers de stroyers, and guns of vast power, war is largely experimental. Largely the destructive agencies are untried. The two powers are not wide apart in re sources for a naval struggle, and "how the subject theme may gang" can only be a matter of speculation. The chances are with us?tho chances are* as a rule with the physical resources, because skill and courage may be set down as belonging to both peoples. The question of right is not with the combatants?that is with the God of battles. The soldiers on either side must leave tho moral question to the ..ration. They are not responsible. ??# A Black Eye. Saturday last the decks wero clear ed for action. Gen. Lee and all Amer icana left Cuba on that day. A message to Congress to come in on yesterday was tile boas', of last week. Armed intercession, amounting to a declara tion of war, was promised and tho oountry was on tip-too. Sunday the njws came tlrat the six great Western Towers had influenced Spain to declare a stop to hostilities on the Island. A counter demand on tho United State that 9he pull olT her dogs of war?withdraw her armed ships from tho neighborhood of Cuba: if this not carried out thus tho moral And probable material support of thoso Powers to Spain. Thus putting Mc Kinley in a hole. The Intercession of some sort threat ened by McKinley would seem to mean a demand upon Spnin to stop the war, -withdraw her forces and leave tho Cu ban populations (both or all parties) to form a government?equal to a recog nition of somobody's independence? equal to a declaration of war?this or, the attitude of McKinley could moan siothing. rig*. Ah matters now stand McKinley must t at once or it ia a clear back down. Wo are boaton to this point by the diplomacy of Spain for lack of brains or courage ?t Washington. We believe t ..McKinley able and honost,but allowing . Jhlmself pulled by different interests, ?hesitation and delay damned him. p ft is difficult to correct a mistake. When the Maine was blown up cur ships should have attacked Spain the ..?next day and mashed Morro Castle ilnto mush. Bjr tho diplomacy of Spain McKinley Is unuorsed as to all grounds except the Maine outrage. The remedy in, if we maintain our , Sclfrespect an a people and the roepect of the nations,to declare the Island in dependent, say to othor nations hands ' off, and surround tho Island with arm <ed ships and men. And thus It appear s that Congress bos been right. re'stlll to suck pur fingers and 0HO88 HILL. Minn Bettie MoQowau.daughter of tlio lato J.T. MoGowan died at the home <>f her mother, Lucy W.

Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic Cures Fever In One Day. A CAMP FOX HUNT. Wednesday morning lOth ult., Messrs. M, B. and W. II. McCuen, B. F. and Martin Arnold of Prince ton, with horns and hounds started for Qoldville. At Laurens they were joined by Mr. J.D. W. Watts and at Qoldville they were joined by Messrs. B. Wharton, J. W. Hill and Mark Griffin from Mount Vllle, ;<u:. went into camp near Mr. Grays, who was so kind as to furnish them with a cottage near the hunt ing ground. The next morning, Messrs. Mason Hill and H. L. Bry Son from Cross Hill enlisted and the di gs were then untied and the horn made a cry to let the dogs knew that Rcnaid was wanted and be fore they could mount their horses they had him moving and the d gs full jolly for the occosion and they had a nice run.Coming hack to camp and having some refreshments, the boys called Durer (the bird dog) and went forth to show the leath ered tribe that the U. S. A. was not in a dormcnt state if the warship Maine was Mown up. They killed a groat many.* The next morning after a half mi'c ride Jeff and Emma told the hoys that Reynard was close and all the dogs fell in just as if they had not been running before and nicer running was never heard, but the boys soon found that there was a division in the pack. I guess be was a volunteer, but both packs gave full cry for an hour and both packs drove the Reynards in their dens. The last round they made Reynard seem to say, "I like run ning, but am no glutton" It takes nothing less than a glutton to stay before those hounds. This being the days' hunt and the boys living at a distance they had only time to dig in one den and get it out and bring it home with them. Mr. M. B, McCuon has charge of it and is giving it such things as will suit its i.ii.if They expect to have some fine sport out of him later on. The boys arc expert hunters and it is amusing to hear them on the hunting question. I Mi A NAEHOW ESCAPE. * Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of Uro ton, S. D.

We uro informell that tho roport hits gone out in AbLovillo and Laurens counties that L, P. Epton must be defeated in his aspirations to become Comptroller-General, booauso ho w n Conservative. We believe in fair play. Mr. Epton lias never belonged to that faction known as the Couserva tiv a. Ho lias been from the first the head of the Reform faction in this county. He lias been the most pronounced ami uncompro mising Reformer in the county and while a large number of former Conservativesondorsod his claims for the Comptroller-Gen eralship, ii was not on political grounds. If those people have legitimate arguments to use against Mr. Bp ton, they can use them and tins paper will not say a word. Wo fiave no candidate, but when de liberate misrepresentations are made, even though it be against n political opponent, we proles! Mr. Epton is a Reformer, be has always been a Reformer, and there is ind a man, woman or child in Spantanburg county that knows him, who ever doubted his loy alty to that faction.?Spartan burg Herald.
