Among Our Exchanges. Spaniards can use mild terms at times. Madrid is reported "disappointed" over the quick retreat of the enemy, which allowed Shatter to land safely. When Santiago falls Madrid probably will be annoyed, and the final surrender will quite bore the Dons.?i\. Y. world. In the death ot Hon. Geo. W Dargan South Carolina looses one ot her purest and ablest men. Although Mr. Dargan was a mem ber ot Congress for eight years, he was never in any sense a politician as we know them at the present day. Always watchful of the interests of his constituents, Mr. Dargan would never cast a vote in Congress simply because it might bring him votes when the next election came around. In business and private lite Mr. Dargan was as honest and upright as in public life, and his gentlemanly | bearing toward people of all classes] : i r L: .

A correspondent enquires why 1 The Greenville News calls itself a j "political reconcentrado.''' The reconcentradoes were Cubans who ! because they were ?uspccted of; loyalty to their country and the principles of liberty were put un-; derbanbv the dominant powers; driven and held inside the lines' and regarded there with hostility and suspicion. The Greeuville News is an insurgent recon-1 centrado. It has re:used to stay; inside any lines or to be starved ! and has kicked up its heels and gone merrily at large, occasionally 1 taking a crack at the Captain j General or a conscript, just as! they come along, and scoring a hit now and then. The Greepville News isa politi-j outlaw and has a jiood deal ol, lun and finds a good many friends in the outlaw business. It is a reooncentrado which refused to stay reconcentradoed. Greenville News. | J The course of events since war, was declared is steadily against the torpedo boat. Much-heralded n.uch-vaunted by friends and constructors, it has failed to do what was claimed for it or anything like if Nnminallv fuct if fnrtio nnf that it can make great speed only in smooth water, while in a rough sea a battleship is considerably faster. They have made repeated attempts to get in their work with invariable lailure. And now the St. Paul calmly awaits the advance of one and shoots it to pieces! The torpedo boat in the present stage of development has few, it any practical uses. Even the; Vesuvius has disappointed its admirers. Spectacular displays have, l r I 11 j - ? 1 ueen luruisnea, dui, a si range su-1 ence is kept with regard to the effect of her explosives. The natural inference is that the Vesuvius has accomplished nothing of any moment nothing at least comraeusuiate with what was ex-! pected from her. There is time lor her to redeem her reputation but up to date her exploits seem to have been of no practical ser- j vice in any direction. Of course we would all like to see one of those big dynamite shells lauded in Moro castle, in Santiago or close alongside one of Cervera"sj ships. But when will that hap pen?

Rotation in Office A Fable. , A Democrat once elected a mule to pull the sweep of a sor i ghum mill which was set up in a clover patch, and nominated a colored farm hand to feed cane to; the crushers. Having installed! the mule in office, the Democrat went away and w is gone a long time. Do You Use It? ,'j' It's the best thing for th? s'! hair \inder all circumstances, is Just as no man by taking ik thought can add an inch to m his stature, so no preparation can make hair. The utmost that can be done is to pro- 11! mote conditions favorable to P' growth. This is done by Ayer's Hair Vigor. It re- | pc moves dandruff, cleanses the 15 scalp, nourishes the soil in ! , which the hair grows, and, j i lust as a desert will blossom ' V?3 under rain, so bald heads grow hair, when the roots are nourished. But the roots must be ca there. If you wish your hair to retain its normal color, or jg; if you wish to restore the lost e}] tint of gray or faded hair use Ayer's Hair Vigor. i en When lie "returned he found 00 that the mule had eaten a path along a short segment of the ni If circle while the same two cane stalks lie had left between tl e crushers were dangling half way through, and tlie colored citizen sat by fast asleep.

"But I am rotating in office,"' ^ll said the mule,indignantly,"While I concede that my rate of rotation e> is deliberate you must allow something for dignity and percieve 01 that as a Reform Democrat I must graze as I rotate. As soon as I 05 have eaten my way around the circle ot this sweep I will be filled ^ and will be ready to resign and make way for one of my near rel- m atives.' The Democrat scratched his head and said: "I confess that I *r am outart???rif?d. hut hit nnnears to pc, , r i me that the sweetenin'is er com cc in* powerful slow."
