The riotous conduct ofiheAmer ! c ican soldiers at Tarnpa, Fia., is an I c outrage upon civilization, and if t ? .j:,.. ?i i i .i mi 1 iiui spccuuy cneuKeu me army win a soon be regarded as a horde 01 nil-! 0 fians. Bad enough it would lie for an invading army to be guilty ef Mich acts of violence and ia;>; c- j * itv; but lor them to be committed t by our own soldiers, our country's v defenders, supposed to represent <] the chivalry of 1 lie nation, is ail crying shame. From all accounts c the stale of lawlessness existing in 1 t Tampa has been little short of v Pandemonium. The officers must , : be responsible to a large extent!) for this riotous conduct, and if I hoy ;, ? can not or will not control their v men1, they should be' promptly re- t moved. Drunkenness, rowdyism,it robbery, and even murder are on t the list of the crimes committed by r these soldiers. Better send such f turbulent troops into Cuba at once, t where their energy will be direct-j1 ?d to some purpose against thejt Spaniards; We are pleased to c note that few Southern troops are q t?umh?rod smoni' thp*;p riofprs. i most of them being negroes, or;j Western tr?>op6y the excrement of s society and the scum of crowded t oities. Already their shameless ja naisdeeds have been tolerated too: long. They should be made to j. ihow thai even a United States | j uniform does not protect them in j their disgraceful debauchery. j \ - d A FEW PLAIN FACTS. | It is a business axiom to get the greatest value lor the least c TOoneyr and this wrll apply asiv readily to news-papers as to other * commodities. In this connection (' wfe ask your attention for a 1110- r ment while we tell you why you r should subscribe to The Coixty v . Record. In the first place, Tuk 0 Record is here to stay. It is-411 owned by an individual, is paid c for* and is paying expenses. As c lojfg; as this is the ease a news- e paper will never go into the hands of a receiver. ' { 0 Secondly, it is published at the 1 county seat, where the facilities 1 for obtaining news must necessari 1 0 ly be better than an3 where else c in the county. ^ thirdly. our tdnhhinn- rntf-s hi-p most liberal. Ami last, but by no means least, we give eight pages of reading ii matter, four of which are printed ti at home; twice as much.as many \i weeklies contain at the same 0 price. S The Rkcokd has been enlarged a and improved already, but weL shall not stop here. It is our purpose to work on the co-opera : ^ fcive plan with our patrons, and as i jc tr .-upport wariants it. *?? keep ' 1 improving the paper without larging a oent more lor suoscnpon-j. This is equivalent lo re- ' living the price, as any one can ie at a glance that if more goods 1 egiven for the same money the 1 St is less. We have envoi faith in I he np? ' le of \\"i!Ii;im>l>iir<r County, when comes to appreciating a good, ews-pa per. and we believe that; hen they realize that we arel ving to give then) a lirst class! a per, lliev will come to our aid j ith a liberal support. A'ready j e have received substantial en-; ourngement in our efforts, ami vet) at this dull season, while we ! o not blow about it. our books j how a constantly increasing cir..I., L ... f ?>.. uiauon; out we wain jut. ivt. : .i:u lo visit every home in :lie ounly, and we papmise you that ; he price will remain ihe saint* j nd the paper will he the equal; t' any ol' its class in the Slate. MR. BRUNSON WITHDRAWS Mr. .Joel E Brunson has writ ' en to State Chairman W;lie Jones j withdrawing his name as a candi | late lor Governor on the Prohi- I lition ticket. In the circnnistan -j es we believe that it was not on y expedient tor Mr. Brunson toj withdraw, bat there was really tothiiis else lor him to do, since hrough the blundering manage j nent of Chairman A C Jones, he j vas placed in an awkward ami tin 1 deasant predicament. Alter! >eing suggested by the l'rohibiionConvention as their guberlatoral candidate, they coo'lv inormed him, or Mr. Jones did lor hem, that in view ot the action ol'j lie State executive Committee, | hev thought it best that all the' I'lmliilatoi r\n fhmr th'l.-of vvitli. ' Iraw and run as individuals. By ; ! his action, Mr. Brunson was! )laced in a false position, and.' corning the subterfuge, he took he only course left open to hiinj ind withdrew from the race. Mr. Brunson has been much nisunderstood in this matter,* but t seems to us that no one with a i m nodicum of sense, and the facts jefore him, could accuse him ot leviating in the least from a man y and honorable course, lie has >een accused of deserting the j ause wmcn iie liau expouseu, vhen any one can see that the Prohibition manager, becoming lemoralized bv a clumsy eiKort to % * ule his faction out of the party, eallv abandoned Mr. Brunson, rho had never entertained an idea if running for Governor until lominated by the Prohibition onvention. Had Mr. Brunson | ontinued in the race and been lected governor, he would have one his duty fairly and conseieniouslv, and, whether thelegisla-' ure granted prohibition or not, j' lie laws would have been vigor-! uslv executed, in spite ot the riticism ol' a certain class of poli icians. HOW WE ARE SWINDLED. The following editorial is taken i 'oin the New York World, under !\n /idoiiAit k* T\ i ml 1 1 <kO id O 1 C tmA il Agents":?"The glorious exit, f the Merrimac from the United i tates navy should not distract ttention from its anything but' lortous entrance.

And she was seloclelj as Oervera's cork out of all the' lit el ol transports, because she was worthless to the navy in every other way." Verily the ways of our big. kindhearted, government are peculiar. Not content with plunging the country into a war with Spain on a humanitarian pretext, it now <joes fur: her and extends its phi I anthrophy to a corporation (and by the way the government seems to have a paitiaiity for corporations) to the extent of allowing it $ 150.0 0 prolit on a $;>42,000 deal. And it is now admitted that this expensive vessel was blown up to no purpose, since it stops up only the shallow part of the harbor. So, as the matter now stands, the government has sent .fd42,000 to the bottom of the sea. and for vera is not hermetically sealed alter ail. THE FIRST LAND ENGAGEMENT. It was an auspicious beginning ot the ca mpa gn in Cuba, when our litile band of 1000 men drove back a force of Spaniards of lou bJe their number, after failing into an ambuscade. With every advantage on t hair side numbers position and the fact that our men ii;I nnt Kppmi.p nerHicf rtmpii to the tropical climate?if the Spaniards failed to win this battle, there is little chance ot their ever beiii? victorious, and the lights on land will be but a repetition of the engagements at sea. All honor to the brave men who foiijrht so well forth** Mars and Stripes. These men are making history, and Roosevelt's Rough Riders will be placed in the same category with the "Green *Moun tain*Bovs," of the Revolution, whose doughty deeds have been told in song and story, until their leader,old Israel l'utman is even yet a familiar ligure in American history.
