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,

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]

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

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,

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

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.

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.

the mule, remarking that he bejfcl
lieved in rotation in office as a *
party principle.
"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

Moral: The words "Rotation or
in Office" may have differing sig- C
nificance 011 different occasions
and various stages of the game. ce
