The report of the Court of Inquiry
in the "Mai-'e"disaster has
made its report to the President,
a summary ofc which is published j
in another column and the report
accompanied by a tnessege from
the President, has been sent to
Congress. President AlcKinley
eavs in his special messege that he j
does not "doubt that the sense of
justice of the Spanish nation will
dictate a course of ac'ion suggest-:
ei by honor and the friendly re j
lations of the two governments."
Continuing, the President said
that while awaiting Spain's action
"deliberate consideration is evok
ed.*'
McKinley has shown remarkable
calmness and fortitude
throughout the whole "Maine"
affair, and has won the plaudits of
all right thinking people* by his
cool, deliberate actions. While the

very brink of war with Spain, the
President will not rashly plunge
t he country into the strile,but will,
if need be, advise Congress to declare
war when the proper time
arrives.
On our first page today we print
a special telegram giving the latest
information regarding the situation.
"
Blanche K Bruce, ex slave, ex
United States Senator, and twice
- register of the treasury of the j
United States, is dead, and the
President has appointed Judson
Lyons,, a negro of Augusta, to
succeed him as register. Bruce
vas the most prominent negro in
the United States at the time of
his death, and for prominence
duriug the life of this republic,
probably ranked next to Fred
Douglas. Bruce and Lyons are
yU 4
the only negroes who have ever
held as high a position as that now
' occupied by the latter.
There
is a Hereafter.
Here is a li.ttle pointer for
those whose conduct conveys the
impression |hey think there is no
hereafter:
The late lamented Bill Nev once
said; "Do not try to cheat an editor
out of a year's subcription to his
paper, or any other sum, and it
you have any regard for the future
consequences, don't fool the
editor. You will de put up tor j
office somM time, or want soinej
public favor for yourself.or frends;!
when your luck is a thing of beau ^
ajoy forever, the editor will
open upon you, aud knock your ,
castles into a cocked hat at the
first fire.
The country newspaper pub \ ,
Usher toils every day to make the \
paper interesting, mentally and I
mechanically?that's labor; once I
in a while a patron comes in and
pays his subscription?that's capi- f"
tab Occasionally one moves off
without paying and has his postmaster
to send a card to say the
paper is refused?that's ." i

Stephens of an Easter morning in a

giving the incidents of the Saviour's
persecution and crucifixion, is especially

of novel interest is the illustrat
ed anecdotal biography of Thorn is A
Edison, in which the characteristic
traits of the great inventor are told
in a series of anecdotes. Joseph
Bonaparte's flight to American and
sojourn here is recalled in an article,
"When the King of Spain Lived
on the banks of the Schuylkill."

humorous in another vein. "A Cabinet

and another view of "inside

GEN. NORTON GIVES OUT AN
INTERVIEW.
j He Says Nice Things About All the
Gubernatorial Candidates
and Something Else.
Washington. March 24.?Mr
Norton, Mho was one of the party
visiting Due West on Bryan day,
! was asked if it was understood that
j the Bryan demonstration was the
opening of the campaign ia South
i Carolina.
} "No, I think not", \va* his reply.
| "We have about quit opening catnj
paigns in March down there. Too
j few of thein have been successful
i since the first one. March is a revoj
luiionary month and we are not exi
pec ting a revolution just now. On!
ly two of the six candidates already
unnoticed were at Due West, and
i while the political situation in the
j state was not unconsidered no cainI
paigu launching was had or expeot;
ed."
j "The political situation down
! there seems to be getting pretty com1
plicated. But with Governor Ellerbe,
of Marion; Col. K. B. Watson,
i of Saluda; Col George Tillman, of
j Edgefield; State Senator Archer, of
I Spartanburg; and ex-Solicitor
j Schumpert, of Newberry, in the race,
j there is little danger of the people's
j making a serious mistake. All of
j these are g<H>d men; any one one of
1 them could be expected to serve the
j state creditab'y.
Governor Elleibe, who is standing
J for re-election, has of course, the
vantage ground. It has become a
precedent, if not a custom, to give a
j second 'term to our governors and
j this fact will bear strongly in Governor
Ellerbe's favor. Opposed to
him are some excellent men, men of
I
high character and broad intellii
gence. Colonel Watson and Senator
j Archer stand high in ihe cousels of
i their respective churches and are by
no means without experience in public
affairs. Colonel George Tillman,
well known from his long service in
congress, is a strong man, with the
courage of his convictions, of ripe
age and much experience, Mr.
Schumnert is a man of fine abilities
who served his circuit for a long
| time as solicitor. Of these only Govj
emor Ellerbe and Colonel Tillman
l were at Due West. Both were received
with hearty applause by frieuds
iu the large gathering,
"The complimentary introduction
I by Dr. Grier, president of Erskine
| college, and the flattering reception
by the audience of Governor Ellerbe
showed that he is held in high regard
in that community. This, as well as
imnt'OCCiAtiC nrutliorml in ntlior nurfo
of the state, seems to warrant the
opinion of his friemls that there has
been quite a reaction of sentiment in
favor of governor since the adjournment
of the general assembly."
"There has been a report, general,
of some personal and }>olitical estrangement
between yourself uudGovernor
Ellerbe."
"I an? glad you mentioned that report.
I may say it is due to a misapprehension
of facts and, I think,
Started from some complications

ONE OF TWO ways.
The bladder was created for one purpose,
namely, a receptcle for the urine
and as such it is not liable to any form
of diseases except by one or two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action
of the kidneys. The second is from
careless local treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
trouble. So the womb, like the bladber,
was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. It is situated of and very closo
to the bladder, therefore any pain,
disease or inconvenience manifested
in the kidneys, back, bladder, or uninarv
passage is often, by mistake, attributed
to female weakness or v.mb
trouble of some sort. The error is
ensily made and may be as easily
