LOUIS J. BKISTOW, Kditoi* and
Proprietor.
It has beeu recently suggested that
advantage shonl 1 be takeu of this international
brush to attempt a practical
solution of the tramp question,
says the Washington Star. The proposition
is that these wandering ne'erdo-wells

armed, and seat to Cuba to form part,
at least,of the first army ^>f invasion.
It is urged that those tramps who
seek to shirk this unpleasant duty
will naturally "take t'? the woods"
thus completely ridding the communities
that they have iale-ted of a serious
nuisance. The military demands
of the government, h >wever. are too
* serious to jennitthe assembling of a
epips of untrained, unuiilitarv, nnMhitioas,
and possibiv unpatriotic
nren to be relied upon tor ?ia igerons
~K dfeties. The he'd fighters are those
taken by their country from the ranks
of the producers, the men with a conscientious
desire to serve the nation,
who are energetic both in times of
peace and war. The greatest1 economy
in wa d ire lies m producing a
mhyiinnui of resn't.s with a minimum
of men. The mere aggregation of
people into ranks is not generalship.
The tramp problem lies deeper than
this. It is not to be solved by a gen
eral conscription, unless it be intended
to enter upon a virtual scheme of
extermination, which is so utterly foreign
to American doctrine, and so antagonistic
to the principles upon which
the war of intervention is being waged
against Spaiu. If the solution lies in
the line of employment let the tramps
? be drafted to work 011 the roads.
<rood roads are needed. Labor must
be had to build them. While the war
is iu progress the stay-at-home
tourists of the highways might profit,

tines of travel in tine modern condition.
In Japan's new Cabinet arc several
* yo,uug men who have imbibed much of
the commercial spirit of the age. They
are aggressive young fellows who are
committed to the developing of t!?e material
resources of the Empire. Prime
Minister Ito, who for the third time is
at the head of the Cabinet, is disposed
to give his young colleagues wide latitude
in which to carry out their policy
of building up the industries of the
oouutry. Last year over live hundred
miles of new railway were constructed
in Ja~au, and this year it is proposed to
build even a greater mileage. All told,
there are two thousand miles of railyjf?r
in Japan, and in order to make
' them pay they must be fed with the
traffic that springs out of commercial
activity. These railways 1k^1? :i^r tx>t;i

aixl connect the principal cities
of the Empire." In order to stimulate
manufactures, the new Cabinet dejsiiles
to negotiate a commercial treaty.
Germany has keen selected as one of
the countries which will l>e inviteil to
enter such a treaty. The Japanese .argue
that Genaany manufactures machinery
which they need, and consumes
the products which they maun^Ucture.
Therefore a commercial treaty
with Germany is looked ui>on as a
desirable acquisition. This eagerness,
oa the part of the Japs, to secure a
commercial treaty, under which the
products of the two countries thereto
may be advantageously exchanged,
ought to attract the attention of our
government. Germany produces no
machinery that we do not produce and
she consumes no Jajxanese prouucis
:*hat we do not consume. We can secure
the trade of Japan if we so after
It on terms that will' l>e acceptable
to tUe new Cabinet, but we cannot pet
1t if we remain Inactive and silent while
Germany is pursuing fhc prize. We
ought to furnish the Japanese tlie
greater part of their railway iron, and
their rolling stock, but we furnish them
only a small fraction of what they use.
We ought to furnish them the machinery
they use in their cotton and silk
"tirflVs. but wo do not furnish any to
apeak of. We ought to have a market
there for our machinery, agricultural
implements, etc.. but the foreigners on
the other side of the Atlantic enjoy a
uionoi>oly of what we ought to share,
i The Japanese like us. They are trying
to make their system of government
analogous to ours, so far as it is possible
to make a monarchy resemble a republic.
In view 01' this we ought to
compete with Germany for the trade of
Che Japanese, and if necessary make
such concessions as would secure for
us a continuing market for our staples,
and Mw products of our mills and factories,

1 FIRING THE SHIP. I
><
A Fourth of July Celebration in ?>
ffi i ne.. II
\< i-:
At the very time, late on July 4,
177t?, the continental congress at
Philadelphia was struggling witu the i
Declaration of Independence, another
assembly at Elizabetlitown Point was
also struggling with the men who had
planned to invade their homes. The
action of the former is well-known to- j
day, but the deeds of the others are j
forgotten, although the early records i
inform us that theirs was the first celebration
of the new uatiou.
On July 2d Howe began to land his
forces on Staten Island. This already
was a refuge of the tories and when
Howe's men began to arrive from Halifax,
whither they hat" gone when they
evacuated Boston, the alarm had
: read along the Jersey shore, for all
feared an invasion.
I Men and boys had answered the
call, anil now on the evening of this
famous Fourtli were stationed behind |
the cover, which hastily had been |
thrown up near the Point, and were
engaged in a tierce contest with one
of the enemy's sloops of fourteen
guns, which had come to anchor there
with the tvident intention of destroying
the defense and scattering the
minute men. Nor did the task appear
to be a difficult one, for the rude
earth works fcere weak and the men
were raw and inexperienced. A
small body of Captain Neil's artillery
with two twelve-pound cannon, however,
were present, and on these the
500 men placed their main reliance.
The contest had been going on for a
half hour now, and so skillfully had
the cannon been handled that the
mast and rigging of the sloop had
been shot away, and she was unable to
withdraw. Many of her men had fallen,
while but few of the continentals
had been harmed. But Captain Neil
fully realized how desperate the conditions
were, however, for at any moment
some of Howe's war vessels,
hearing the sounds of the engagement,
might come around from the
other side of the island and if they i
did the contest would soon be brought 1
to a close.
"Captain Neil wants to see you,"
said an orderly to John Shotwell and
Joseph Swan, two boys of seventeen,
who had taken their places with the
men.
"What does he want?" inquired
John.
"I don't know. Come and he'll tell
you himself."
The boys took their guns and following
the orderly soon stood before
Captaiu Xeil, \\ hose grimy appearance
resembled their own.
"Are you the boys who went over
to Stnten Island yesterday and tired
at the regulars?" asked the captain.
"Yes," replied Joseph. "We were
out in our skiff and tired just to let
them know all the Jerseymen were
not asleep. But when a lot of regulars
came running out of the woods
we made off in a hurry."
" 'Twas a foolish piece of work.
Don't try it again. And yet it showed
you had some qualities I want to use
right away. I want to set lire to this
sloop. If .ve don't help will coine to
them from the island."
The hoys were silent, waiting for
him to explain. It certainly would be
I THE BLAZING SHIP.
o desperate venture. Even while lie
was speaking a cannon belched and
(he i-eports of many muskets followed,
tlow could they set fire to the sloop in
Ihe face of such dangers? John's
heart was beating rapidly and Joseph
?Vas trembling in his excitement.
"I want to fill a skiff with stuff that
ivill bum and come up to the sloop
with it on the other siile. Make the
skift'fast, set tire to the skiff ami then
swim off. Yon can both swim, can't
you?" said the captain.
"Yes," replied John. But the
prospect was frightful.
How could they approach the sloop
without being seen? And if they
were, it would weau the death of
both.
"I know it looks desperate," said
the captain, reading their thoughts,
"but we'll hold their attention 011 this
side and I don't think they'll be 011 the
lookout for danger from the sound.
Somebody must try it, and will you
be the ones?"
"My mother told me not to bo shot
in the back," said Joseph with a
strange choking iu his throat. "If it

any one. What do you say, John?"
"We'll try it," said John, quietly.
"But I was wondering whether the
raft the boys usefor crabbing wouldn't
be better than a skiff. Its right up
the shore here, and we could stay in
the water and push it. That would be
some protection."
/. 1 r
~ (
r USUI NO
"The very thing," said the captain,
quickly. "Show us where it is.",
Jehu led the way and the raft was
soou equipped for the perilous attempt.
A mass of combustible material
was piled upon it, and several
short planks placed across the stern
I to serve as a protection to the boys
who were to swim out with it. Throw ing
aside their clothing, they at once
pushed out into the water, wading as
far as possible, and then they began
| to swim.
; "It's a desperate chance," said the
orderly when the boys disappeared.
"I know it," replied the captain,
' "but it had to be done. I'm glad it's
1 so dark, ami now we'll Lave to work
to bold the attention of the sloop to
this side," and be hastened back to
bis men.
Meanwhile the boys were swimming
! and quickly pushed the strange craft
before Ihem. They had started at
i quite a distance above the sloop and
I the outgoing tide was of great service.
"They're warming up on store,"
, whispered Joseph a little later, as
; the noise of the guns increased,
j "?es, and there's the sloop right
' ahead," replied John, as the rour and
J flash of a cannon came over the water.
! "She's facing us and pulling at her
: anchor."
Slowly and with increased care now
they guided the raft toward the bow.
! It was the time of greatest danger
and the boys were almost breathless.
Would they be seen by the men on the
sloop? John thought, of his mother,
' and a picture of his home rose before
! him. Would he ever see it again?
There was no time for sucl
thoughts, however, as they were righl
under the bow now. John climber
: ou board the raft and grasped the
heavy cable. The rushing tide made
i the raft swing around until uei* sterr
was against the side of the sloop. I'
| was the very position he desired, am
thus far thev had not beeu discov
ered.
He made the raft fast to the cabh
and then took his flint and tinder
His hands trembled so that he scarce
i ly could use them. Again and agaii
He struck the flint, but no spark
! came ?r else fell harmless. Wha
! could be the trouble? Could he bi
heard? Summoning all his courage
i; agaiu he made the trial and this tiui<
The T>on had his will with ttie "Maine,"
Ho sot off his mine with a roar.
He quaffed to our dead his champagne.
And laughed till his sides they were
sore;
And now he must settle his score,
And pay for his sport, as is right,
Our navy is brave as of yore.
And Yankee blue-jackets cau light.
Perhaps wo are not in the vein?
We pigs, as he's called us before?
To laugh at our sailor-boys slain.
| And so his brave joko we deplore.
But flashing a bolt from the shore
And sinking a ship in tho night
Was murder, our blue-jackets swore?
And Yankee blue-iackets cau light.
Our guns at Manila spoke plain.
Ami sharp was the message they bore,
As swift through the squadron of Spain
Our death-dealing hurricane tore;
As, riddled and rent to thn core.
Each cruiser plunged down out of sight,
"One more for our sailors! one more!"
* Aud Yankee blue-jackets can light.
( ~ "
the spark fell and caught. Quickly
then the hoys slid from the raft aud
with strong, yet quick strokes, swam
off. As soon as the cover of the darkness
had been gained they paused and
waited for the blaze. But the flash
of the guns was the only light that

appeared. auuiuci mmuic ptisceu,
ami another, and still no blaze was
seen. Was something wrong?
"You wait. I'm going back," whis!
pered John, and before his friend
could remonstrate he was gone. Joseph
i waited in a fever of excitement, not
I knowing what to do.
Meanwhile John had safely regained
the raft and found, as he had
feared, that the lire was out. Again
he took the flint and tinder and was
rejoiced when the first spark fell he
saw a little tongue of flame appear.
1 Satisfied that this time there would
; be no failure, he hurriedly slid into
the water and started toward his companion.
He had gone but a few yards
when he turned to look at the sloop.
I What was that he saw? The face of
a man peering over the rail. He had
I been discovered. He quickly sank

ami swam under the water as long as
his breath would permit, and when he
arose again to the surface the face
had disappeared.
"It'll go this time," he said, as he
rejoined his friend, and they started
I for the shor'e. Quickly putting on
their clothing as soon as they arrived
they ran toward their cover, and just
as they arrived, a shout went up that
, sounded above the noise ot the
guns. They turned and looked toI
ward the sloop. A long tongue of
I flame was shooting up over the bow.
J It ran along the bowsprit, it spread
j over the rigging and climbed the
i broken mast. Again a shout arose
j from the men on shore. The crew of
I the sloop were taking their wounded
| and dead, and in their yawls were
l starting for Staten Island.
Not a gun was firing now, for none
. would harm the wounded, but scarcely
! had they disappeared before, with a
! report like thunder, the blazing sloop
was blown into a thousand fragments,
! and then an unbroken stillness came
1 j over the sound.
"That's the best bonfire we ever
, had," said Joseph, as he and John
i were walking up the quaint old street
toward their homes, but his friend
| made no reply.
' Just before the time when the sloop
was set on tire the conpress at Phila.

j Bells were ringing, guns were tired

the first fall taken out of the Stars and

regiment, acting on his own hook,
leaped the wall and ran along the
beach, under fire, the whole length of

i Cutting the tlag free from the fallen
staff, the gallant sergeant fastened it
to the long haudle of a cannon sponge

Thirteen States should have thirteen

The Union thirteen white stars in a
' i blue field, representing a new constellation.
On January 111, 1794, the
form was altered by act of Cougress, ,
' which provided that after May 1, 17!).;, ,
j the flag should consist of fifteen stripes ,

WAXHAW BURYING GROUND.
Brave Soldiers of Revolutionary
Fame and Gallant Confederate
Troopers Sleep Side by Side.
There are many little spots in South
Carolina which are known and lovod
by interested ones, but which are practically
unknown to many. Somo of
these may be neglected and overgrown
with weeds, but even these will have
their own remembrance in the shrine
of the human heart, where weeds and
lui ^oiiuiuuan uu>c uw |'iuv-u.
Among the neglected 6pots which
hold historic memories because of their
associations and honored dead very few
places are more important to South
Carolinians than is the old Waxhaw
burying ground, in Lancaster county,
about eight miles from the North Carolina
State line.
Here are the graves of Revolutionary
patriots, officers aud privates; here rest
the young aud the fair side by side with
tho old und weary, aud here sleeps the
Confederate soldier in the land he fought
and died for surrounded by the ancestors
who lived and died even as he had
done.
"The mossy marbles rest" on kith and
kin of generation after generation, and
there bo many names here which would
recall Southern valor and patriotism
were they mentioned.
It would be unsatisfactory, however,
not to emphasize tho fact that Andrew
.Tackson, seventh President of these
United States, was born in this Waxbaw
settlement on the 10th of March,
1767. It has been claimod by some that
President Jackson was born on the North
Carolina side of the border line, but
many facts are against this claim.
Then Jackson's testimony is worth
something. In a letter, (December 24,
1880,) in the proclamation addressed to
the "Nullifiers, in 1882, and again, ia
his will, Jackson spoko of himself as
being a South Carolinian.
The most striking detail was that
after the death of Andrew Jccksou,
Sr., the funerM procession started over
the mountainous road for the Waxbaw
"burviug ground." With snow and
ice, rum and whiskey, the procession
started over hill and daie bearing the
body of the dead Irishman on a sleigh.
When the cortege arrived at their
destination thore was no corpse, and
the soberer members of ttie party retraced
their steps and found the body
a mile and a half from the "burying:
ground," where it had rolled off of the
sleigh.
Some of the old stones, very many of
them, bear dates going back to the
early part of the ISth century. A new
building has been erected very near the
site of the old chnrch, which was
burned daring the Revolutionary wa
and religious exercises are held regularly.
Huge oaken sills and very large
stones still mark the foundation of the
old historic church building.
The ancient "burying ground" has
not been changed nor remodelled. The
samk carious old "piled" stone fence,
the old sharp-pointed iron gates, the
same weird old, tobstones, looking
more strange and uncouth than ever,
are all there.
South Carolina Gets Three Places.
Adjutant General Corbin has made
public the names of the 195 young men
who have been solected for appointment
as second lieutenants in the regular
army to till vacancies created by
the act of Congress adopting the three
battalion organization for the infantry
arm of the service and the addition of
one second lieutenant to all batteries
when liiled to war strength. Each of
tha 1 'l.l man splncted will be nhliced to
undergo an examination that will be a
thorough test of his mental and physical
qualifications for the army service.
Those who pass the examination will
be nominated by the President to the
Senate. The following young men of
South Carolina have been selected:
James 11. Allison, Jr., graduate South
Carolina Military academy; Edward
Croft, graduate South Carolina Military
academy; Benjamin J. Tillman,

.Magnolia Cemetery.
At the twenty-first annnal meeting of
the stockholders of Magnolia Cemetery,
Charleston hold at the Carolina Savings
Bank, President Geo, W. Williams submitted
the following report: Since
Magnolia Cemetery was organized,
nearly half a century ago, 2,700 lots
have been sold, also 1,205 lots in the
strangers' section. The first interment
in Magnolia was in 1848. The number
of interments to June 1, 1898, is 10,150.
The sale of lots amounts to ?181,115.
By an agreement with the lotholders20
percent of the gross sales of lots
bavo beon paid to a board t of
the lotholders. This fun 17,S74.
Perhaps in the m ..?y years
all the lots in the cemetery will have
been sold. The interest derived from
the trust fund will doubtless be large
enough to keep the grounds in order
even after the sale of all the lots.
New Itoller Mill Burned.
Tho new roller mill of T. F. Hunt Sc
Co., at Spartanburg, wa3 burned to the
ground. It had been in operation only
3 few days and was doing very fine
work. The building, machinery, 150
bushels ol wheat ana a carioau 01 corn
was eutiroly consumed. How the tire
originated is a mystery. The loss is
about $4,000, with St'.oOO insurauce.
