Field Marshal Sir John French, in command of the British army in France, is quoted by the Associated Press correspondent as paying a splendid tribute to the South's matchless leaders, Robert E Lee and 4'Stonewall" Jackson. According to the newspaper correspondent the remarks of this distinguished military authority were: Few Americans probably are as familiar with the campaigns of the American Civil war as is Sir John. He has made a thorough study of them, and from them he has drawn lessons which he has found helpful in France. He mentioned Stonewall Jackson. "To me Gen Jackson was more like Cromwell than any other leader of history," said the British commander. "A heroic, martial figure whose wonderful career came to the happy close a soldier desires in the hour of victory. I have followed all his marches and battles with unflagging admiration. He had the religious exaltation of Cromwell, his dash and determination and his ready strategy, and the genius of inspiring his troops with his own indomitable spirit of energy. "But of all your commanders Robert E Lee, in his patience, his resource, his poise, his soundness of judgment and his possession of the qualities of high command in all emergencies, is foremost in my opinion." It is significant that no mention is made of any general on either side save the peerless Confederate military geniuses, Lee and Jackson. Thev arc in a class to themselves. and when time has done them justice, their names will lead all the rest. Where is the man who said the Russians cannot fight? Even the Austrians modestly admit winning a battle occasionally. S If the country press of the State "had to choose sides in the European war it would not take a Solomon to tell their favorite. Wonder how many different ways that Austrian fortress?Przemysl? captured by the Russians recently, has been pronounced by our readers?

We don't know much about the Colonels Governor Manning has appointed on his staff, but if they and the rest of the Lieutenant Colonels are men like Allen Bradham, of Manning; Hugh Oliver, of Georgetown; Wigfall Cheatham, of Edgefield, and last, but not least, Jim McCutchen.of Williamsburg, he has chosen wisely and well. We congratulate both Governor Manning and our friends named above,knightly gentlemen all. From the executive committee of the Reunion of South Carolina Veterans to be held in Columbia this month Governor Manning has re ceived a letter requesting that all the dispensaries in the city of Columbia be closed Thursday and Friday, April 22 and 23, during the time of the Reunion." We hope that the Governor will not only close the dispensaries during the Reunion, but that he will do everything else in his power to comply with the spirit of the veterans' request and thus help to make this the grandest and happiest Reunion that has ever been held in our State. Having just launched the "Pennsylvania", the biggest battleship afloat, Uncle Sam has now let the contract for the largest and most powerful submarine ship that has ever been built. In point of size and power of destructiveness the "Schley " j is far superior to anything of the i kind ever attempted. It is the only submarine yet designed to cross the Atlantic, so far as is known to naval experts. When completed, twenty-j' The better class of the colored residents of Manning are planning for a "clean-up" week, as suggested to all the negroes by Booker T Washington. What are our colored neighbors here doing to make Kingstrec a brighter, cleaner, healthier town? The historic flock of geese whose cackling saved ancient Home from imminent capture have their.[ feat rivaled. According to a London news dispatch sea gulls are credited with saving a British battleship from being torpedoed, their sudden flight giving the alarm of the enemy's proximity. Have you noticed that of late years Senator Ben Tillman has quit boasting that he is "the daddy" of the dispensary system in South Carolina? Wonder if in his declining years the old fellow, who so boldly and defiantly flouted the expressed will of a majority of the voters of South Carolina, does not realize the awful consequences wrought by that tyrannical act? As an aid to her allies in the present European unpleasantness Japan impresses one as being in the Dosition of the "old man" in the two months hence, the "Schley'' (K will add a tower of strength to our ? navy, which most true Americans now believe to he the greatest nayy on earth or ocean, when it comes to fighting prowess. And we have a sneaking notion of the kind ourself. ALONG THE MAIL ROUTE.
