can these things be.
The altitude of The County
Record toward the Luke City;
lynching is too well known to admit
of any question. All along |
in its columns has been urged the
necessity of prompt and vigorous
measures in apprehending the
guilty parties that the fair name ol
Lake City might be vindicated
from the reproach brought upon it
by this deed ot lawless violence.
But we believe that the post-office
inspectors have acted unwisely in
arresting men. of good character
and standing upon the confession
of Newhara and Lee. Had the
whole country been searched over
there could not have been found a
more precious pair of knaves. To
haul up respectable men t>efore the
United States Court on the evidence
of such men would be bad
enough; but to take up these self
confessed traitors and incendiaries
and pay them for their confession
with money and clothes aggravates
the enormity of the wrong. Newham's
testimony is a tissue of con
tradiction and equivocations, and
the utter depravity of the man
reached the climax when he declared
that he felt no remorse of
conscience for burning the house
even when he looked upon the
dead body of the post-master,
burned to a crisp.
Thin man, with whom none of the
accused could have been induced
to have aught in common, has
been led and clotned and paid
money by Inspectors Moye and
Bulla to trumD ud a charee against!
r c
men of good name and repute in
Williamsburg county. Who then
is safe from the slanderous testimony
of such villians as Newham
and Lee when they not only go
free, but are paid for their lies?
What a chance to pay off an old
grudge or to gratify a private
spite! We are not prepared to
say that such matters are illegal,
but they are certainly questionable
and should not be tolerated by a
free and enlightened people. However
much we deplore the lynching
outrage, two wrongs do not
make a right, and Newborn's
evidence should have uo weight at
all
FROM VICTORY TO VICTORY.
From Friday until Sunday there
was almost continous fighting between
the Americans and the Spaniards.
For some time it had been
known to the Americans that taking
Santiago was no small affair, because I
il U- i i_ ? t 'r> j i I
im: ci*.j wtus siroogiy iurunea witn en- j (
trenchments around which barbed
wire had been placed, there being
on the inside four parallel lines of j
rifle pits. These and other obstacles '
13
which our men had to encounter,,
* 1
teiade the undertaking very perilous <
and 0110 which required the utiuosi
precaution on the part of the Amer
ican officers.
At the battle of Siboney the Amer
icans were stubbornly opjiosed, bui
finally succeeded in driving back th<
enemy. The difficulty which oui
soldiers had to contend with wai
further aggravated by the fact thai
Genera's fleet was in a position t<
shell our trooj>s as they advanced
C'apt. Caproa and Hamilton Fish
Jr., and other brave men were killed
The American casualties were ovei
400, but there was not more than 11
per cent of that number killed. I
is not definitely known how many o:
the enemy were killed, but it i:
thought that their loses were heavy
Step by step our men advanced
until they were within three-fourth:
of a mile of Santiago. On Sunday
morning the greatest obstacle in tin
way of getting possessioi
of Santiago was removed w hen C'er
vent's fleet was destroyed. At abotn
9 o'clock the Spanish Admiral mad*
a bold dash, hoping to extricate him
self from the trap in which he hat
been caught. But at once the American
guns were turned on him ant
the fight began. In about five hour:
the victory was complete, the last ol
the Spauish vest-els having been destroyed.
This victory was of the great
est importance to the United States,
because the flleet destroyed was tin
best Spain had, being composed of
her largest vessels.
Cervera and fifteen hundred Spanish
soldiers are now in the hands o(
Admiral Sampson. Besides, there
was a goodly number killed during
the fight.
Santiago is doomed. In a shorl
while the story of her surrender 01
her destruction will be told.
Senator B R Tillman delivered
a striking speech in the Senate
on J una 30, on Hawaiian anexation,
in which he called attention
to the dancer ot incorporating
more people of inferior blood into
the citizenship of the United
States. He further said that he
would vote for annexation, if congress
would say in words, what it
does say in effect, that the negroes
Chinese, Malays, .Tupanese, and
other inferior races are incapable
of self government and therefore
unfit to be citizens ol the United
States. Said he,"The races are not
equal, and never were. God
never made them so, and while I
subscribe to the doctorine that
among the inalienable rights ol
man is the right of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness. I
A I

doctrine that the white race is

HOBSON'S REWARD.
The President has recommended
that Naval Constructor Hobson
receive the thanks of Congress for
gallant conduct, and that he be
transfprrpd to flip Hop This
means that he will be promoted,
but to what rank has not yet been
decided. This is we'l enough as
far as it goes, but a prompt recognition
should be made of his heroic
conduct in a more tangible way
than the thanks of Congsess.
