It is not a vainglorious assertion to say that the young men ol | Williamsburg, as a rule, do well wherever they go. In many parts of the St a e, and far beyond the boundaries of South Carolina,may be found men front Williamsburg occupying good positions and high in tfyeesteem of their fello.v men. Succeeding thus well in the ^vocations of civil life, we believe that a volunteer company ; from old Williamsburg in this war with Spain, if an occasion arose to prove their valor, would give as good an account of them selves as any in the State, or in ISO** the United Slates. We have among us the sons of men than whom no better soldiers followed tke Confederate flag in an army that won a portion of Fame's immortal dower more enduring than monumental marble or) sculptured. bronze. We believe that these sons want but an opDortunitv to show themselves j * V worthy of their sires. While only ' a few have as yet gone to the front, it is because they saw no special ?need for their services, and many did not care to risk a failure on what seems to us an unnecessarily j rigid pbysicalexamination.Another call for volunteers has been issued. Seventy-five thousand men are V.a v j needed,andSouth Carolina's gnoia will be about one thousand men.; This is a fine opportunity to raise a company liom Williamsburg. Let some energetic young man get up this company and give Wil liamsburg a place in the picture. We understand that the medical examination will be much less * rigid this time, and there is little doubt that a company from this county could be organized and j mu terad into service along with the first volunteers who respond , to the President's second call. M.C.BUTLER, MAJOR GENERAL, j In nominating 0 Butler Tor % Major General, President McKinley has shown that he can place ajtfst valuation upon military ability even when it exists in an ex-Confederate officer, who never faltered in his efforts to whip the Yankees, and who fought as long as there was any excuse for fighting. As a calvary leader in the!, late war, General Butler had a reputation for dash and bravery and brilliant generalship second to ; none, and a better appointment could not have been made by the ( President. General Butler was < endorsed by the whole South Car- ' olina delegation, though some of 1 them were his bitter political ene- j mi&s. On the part of these it was , ? particularly graceful act to so waamly second the efforts of hi< teiwk 1'lie Keowee Courier of" lust week contained a "write-up" of Seneca in Oconee county.

However lacking in intelligence the natives of the Philippines gen erali may be, they could not with truth be characterized as savages. There are in the Philippines between 0,000.000 and 0.000.000 people probably about 7.5000,000. Nearly half this number inhabit Luzon, the pnnci] al i>iand of tin* Tho '!nir:iU >! Luzon are a copper colored people, ami like all people of the Malay family, are short of slat ure. These Tamils are the most advanced and influential element in the whole population of the islands. There are a great many very intelligent andamhitjous men amomr them?men who rot their start in the schools established by the monastic tiiar-, whose political domination furnishes one of the many grievances which have given rise to the present insurrection. The Tanals are as industrious as the Chinese and Japanese, and more easily controlled and less criminally disposed than the latter. That thevareen tirely amenable to discipline when they have confidence in and respect tor their leaders and atlvi-ers. is evidenced hv'the fart Ilia' for over a year Gen. Emilio A njrinaldo. their acknowledged leader, wa> able to maintain good order and comparativelv jrood discipline among his 40,000 t?50,000 lollowers. and under circumstances where chaos and disorder would be the most natural conditions. I am not a sentimentalist nor the sort ol man to go into ecstasies of do ngnt over Ine proiuse politeness and kotowing of t lie Japanese? but I have observed in the leading men and women a charmingly courteous manner.
