TIME TO STOP.
The State can and does appreciate
the 8itoatiou of the First South Caro
iina volunteer regiment BOW quarter?
ed at Jacksonville So far as possi
ble, we should like to see the govern
ment consider the wishes of the men
The weary routine of camp life
through the hot summer months has
pressed heavily on the troops and
the prospect before them does not ap
peal to military ardor. Granting all
this, the men at Camp Cuba Libre
have arone entirely too far and are
bringing reproach on the service and
OD their native State. They have en
listed in the service of the United
States for two years, the kind of ser
vice not specified, of course, and
they are not the judges of whether
their services are demanded or not.
Gen Lee asked for the First South
Carolina and the government does
need the regiment for service in
Cuba indications do not promise
an idle life in camp after the regiment
lands
The enlisted men have proved true
to duty, in the firRt instance, by en?
tering the army. They cannot fail
in the supreme moment without dis
credit to themselves In fact, they
have very nearly ail been guilty of
violating military law-a serious mal
ter for every one of them
The President has acted nobly by
Sonta Carolina and ?louth Carolina
troops ought to, for this reason, show
appreciation of such treatment. The
men of our First regiment have cer?
tainly gone far enough and we trust
they will not go one step farther -

Which Will it Be ?
Under date of August 23, the
Camp Cuba Libre correspondent of
the News and Courier says :
There seems to be a good deal of
the "go home" fever among the boys,
although it is less prevalent than yes
terday. Several large petitions were
gent up by the enlisted men to day
to Gen L?e and other authorities
asking ibat the regiment be disband?
ed and sent borne.
Lieut. Col Tillman made a little
speech to-night to a large crowd in
front of his tent. Some times they
would cheer him and say, "Go
home !" and again they would cheer
bim and say, "Go to Cuba !" "Go to
Cuba !" and it went on in this strain
throughout the entire time at inter?
vals of bis speaking
While here to day the inspector j
general took notes of everything that
we needed, and said that he would
recommend that these things be furn
ished at once, so that our boys should
Dot need for anything

"Blind Tom" as He is To
Day.
The i.ame Thomas Wiggins means
nothing to the majority of readers,,?
writes John J a* Becket in the Sep
tember Lidies' Home J aroa!. "But
Thomas V> iggins is 'Blind Tom,' a
name facoiliar to hundreds of thousands
in th.8 country and abroad, who have
heard tbe piano played by this wonder?
ful negro. The impression that be is
dead 19 a pretty general one As a
matter of fact, Bliod Tom has never
bern ill a day in his life. Oa the
banks of the Shrewsbury Rivrr, io a
domain of over two hundted acres of
woodland, stands a picturesque two-and
a-balf story wooden house wi?h a broad
veranda Here Biiod Tom is at home.
"Bis bands are not at all 'piano
hands 7 In place of the slender, long
fingered hands which one so often sees
io great pianists, Tour's hands are
small and plump, with the thumbs and
tapering fiogrrs quite short.
.'Tbe strongest impression ? bore
away was that cf the sweet, contented
life the poor, blind negro is leading.
There was pathos in it. I bad expect?
ed to find a wonder at the piano, and I
did, for bis uataught mastery ol the
instrument is marvelous. From the
time wben the Bethune famisy left the !
dinner-table to see who could be play
tog on the piano, and discovered tbe
sightless pickantony of fear yeats
perched on (be stool, his little hands
plucking uncanny melody from tbe
keyboard-from that time until now be
has bad an unwavering devotion to the
instrument whose music is bis life/'
Tbe Gallant Schley.
(From the Philadelphia North American.")
We all know that Admiral Schley
was a fighter to the core, but his I
ii'tle speech to the women cf New

The general impression has been that
Scb!ey belonged to tbe Bab Evans cla.-s,
and left the frills to those wno liked
?bern, but we were all wron^ Not even
D wey, tbe Chesterfield of the navy,
could have borne himself belier than
Schley did wbeu he faced that great
aggregation of feminine loveliness and
said: "My idea of the relations of the
navy u> the ladies i??, our arni* are their
defence; their arms are our r?compeose "
Wbetber that i? original or nof. -be fact
that be thought of it ai d said it is
enough. It shows the Adiui.-a! ii? a cew
light, and one wucb to his credit For
lunately, the ladies be addressed were
