April 28.1898. 8hameon you, contemporary Ever since the beginning of the present trouble With Spain, the Charleston News and Courier has been a strong sympathizer with the Spaniards, and has all along tried to throw a damper upon the patriotism of the prospective sol diere this State would furnish in the war. laking matters in its own hand, this great daily paper some days ago telegraphed its Washington corresponded as iouows: "State militia willing to fight, but do not wish to fight in Cuba or outaide the State." ' 1 This was the personal views of the editor of the News and Courier, and wholC' ^ ly unwarranted. About the same time the same editor wrote an ed<V itorial about sending the Southerners to Cuba, from which the following is taken: If this plan shall be adopted, and we do not see any patriotic reason why it should not be. The Southern soldiers will have to do a great deal of the fighting and dying. We take it for granted |. that Gov. ?llerbe will be far at the front with the soldiers from Sooth Carolina, fighting circular saws, and otherwise conducting Ikt MlbaIf mif k norvnrn t a t?n 1 Af uiuiocit wavu uco^iaic vaiui - while the other candidates tor governor will be engaged in the more civil pursuit of capturing votes at the Democratic primaries. As he and hie staff and a majority of Col. Willie Jones' gallant regiy* ment and the other regiments in * the field, would probably die of yellow fever, even should they f ' escape Spanish bullets, before the campaign is half over, it will not be necessary to consider them i any longer as political factors in ' this State. We shall be sorry, of coarse, to part with our own soldiers; we are glad that the V western and northern troops will be sent here to defend us while oar own brave men are in Cuba it? . ? ' fighting for the country. The secretary of war is after accomv\lichin(T i ko knot VAcnlta in tlin VUV M^OW 1UOUHO 1U 1>UC disposition of his forces, and we should be lacking in patriotism, indeed, were we to make any objection to a scheme of war which in his opinion, would eventuate in the triumph of American arms. We have been protesting against war, but we have insisted all along that when the time comes thesouth, and South Carolina in particular, would do its whole duty? MFor how can man die better Than facing fearful odds," And 60 on. The Washington correspondent evidently displayed the telegram in the capital city, for a number of the northern papers got hold of its contents, and, taking it as ; i offical information, proeeedel to j [give this State a pre'ty severe) j drubbing 011 account of its lack of patriotism. Senator Tillman saw it, and he telegraphed to the general of the iourth brigade as iollows: I would advise you, and through you the militia of our State, to simply assume an attitude of willing ness and not be outdone by other States. Any rushing or pressing to the fr nt will d?? no good. Cooperation with officers of the regular army who are detailed to look after our coast defence will of course, be desirable, and, in my opinion, this is all you will be called upon to do. It would be suicidal to go to Cuba at this sec. son of the year." This is bad advice from anyone, but particularly so from a Senator, and the one who a day or two be fore made such a patriotic speech for the frcedon of Cuda, saying, "Populists, Democrats Republicans are we, But all Americans to make Cuba free," and yet it "would be suicidal to go Cuba at this time of the year." It is useless at this time to discuss the righteousness or unrighteousnessof the war?it is upon us now and must be fought out. Of course the government will take no undue advantage of the South Carolina troops, and the nneitinnB w* havp hppn Raid to r~ - - ? ? have assumed in the eyes of Ihe world is wholly unwarranted and untrue. The Manning Times usually bases its editorials upon facts but when it said in its. last week's, issue that Mr. Joel E. Hrunson uhas been a president seeker for office until the hope ot gratifying his ambition was so forlorn that he was forced to give it up," it left its usal path. The editor of the Times must to have been misinformed as to who Mr. Brunson is, for never but once has he been a candidate for any office, and wa then elected in the primary, but was left out by the convention which made up the ticket. The occasion referred to is the same one that the Times mentions, when Mr. Brunson opposed Dr. Woods for the Legislature from the Salem section in Clarendon county, and Mr. Brunson was then the successful competitor, and not Dr. Woods, as the Tunes asserts. But perhaps fifteen or eighteen years affect the memory of the pugnacious editor of the Times. While the Piedmont Headlight J i. - r 11 a uues noi approve 01 ine enactment of a Prohibition law, and is opposed to the Prohibition ticket, it has the manhood to say this about the Prohibitionists, which is respectfully referred to those pol itica) newspaper that do not hes itate to stoop to any degree of of vice and slander to carry their ends: The Abbeville Press and Banner, together with other papers in our state, try to blend the blind tigers and Prohibitionists. Now, we do not endorse any such charges. The Prohibition party is almost wholly composed of church members and teetotallers, and it is a slander upon them to assert that they have gone into a political coalition with the liquor element. = I How many companies that were so anxious to go to the Darlington war have tendered their service for the defence of their country in the present emergency? They are needed now a great dea! more than they were then. > }? * i : . ?&&& . .I."

The first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second is from I careless local treatment of other dis- n. . eases. CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is the chief cause of bladder . -738 trouble. So the womb, like the blad- ^ ber. 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 closa 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 weaknes.4 or womb trouble of some sort. The error is ensily made and may be as easily avoided. To tind out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty four hours a sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble. The mild - -M ' and the extraordinary effect of Df, ^ Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, and bladder remedy is soon rea- ? : lized. If you need a medicine you should have the best.
