WHY GENERALS ARE GREAT
The Romans Called Hannibal Cruel,
Perfidious, lmpious, Ayarieious
and a Barbarian.

in Physique, Intellect and
Moral Foroe.
A Born Leader, In Whom Men Trusted,
and His Troops Would Follow
Him Anywhere.

-HE ROMANS, FROM WHOM ALONE
M we have any accounts of the Pune
CIV wars, state that hannibal was cruel,
perfidious, impious. a~varioious, anu that ne
was a barbarian. But, remember, they
were writing of 4 man who had humbled
their ountry into the very dust. #
Hannibal was not cruel. except as war is
crnel. Two centuries latss, when Rome
was highly civilized, Cesar withous pity
destroyed 3 5000 defenseless mon. women
and children in ono day. Hannibal never
did such An act. Yet history does not de-
nouncs Caesar as cruel.
The Romans called Hannibal per6dious
because he was 9 master of stratagsms IN
war, would craftily lead them into a bad
position before ho attacked them.
This is lust what every general tries to de
to-day, and he has learned how to do it
largely from Hannibal.
After q while the Romans learned the
trick themselves. -"
Hannibal did not believe in the Roman
gods. Hence the Romans called him I'M
pious. But Hannibal observed his own re-
lielous duties faithfully. Both Romans and
Carthapinians were heather according to
cur view.
Hannibal was avarioious. bat every gold
niece lis could save he spent for Weapons
to fight the Romans, or to feed his army.
We should not call O man avariclous who
accumulated a great fortune and then gave
it to his country during q war.
IN reality Hannibal was . pure patriot.
BIZ weighing all that Roman authors say
all the facts they give-Hannibal emerges
from their own hands ono OF the most splen-
did figures in history, and perhaps the
greatest captain who ever lived.
As to Hannibal being a barbarian. he
had been given the best of Grsek educa-
tons, was a man Of learning and cultlvs-
ton, an author Of note. The Roman gen
erals opposed to him had, mono of them,
any pa t of Hannibals knowledge and cul-
ture. Rome was not then a city of ~lettels;
it WAS only the capital of a rugged, COM
mon sense people, whose good institutions
deserved TO and did enable it to finally con-
quer the world.
Hannlbals brave and reliable character
was known to his army. Under him the
soldiers could dare and accomplish any
thing. His body could not be tired: his
ardor could not be damped. He did not
seek to shelter himself. He slept beside his
men, Wrapped in his cloak. He. had no
weaknesses, vices, cared nothing for dis
play except in his horse and weapons.
Hannibal always had to light armies bet
ter drilled and larger than his own, under
generals OF good ability. Yet the great
Carthaginian for half a generation kept
Roms on the brink Of ruin. For sixteen

The PeopleWant Principle, not
~ Men.

To any man who thinks the
reform element of South Caro-
lina afe mah-wor orshipers, or that
their battles are for the success of
any man or set of men, we desire
attaaes to isabuse his mind of this
impression.
Ifissprinciples they want, not
men. They have forever thrown
off the CALLING yoke Of hereditary
bosses and the candidates they
have supported have been simply
representatives of these principles.
They believe certain reforms
should come, and these reforms
must be acknowledged and
enthroned before the political
battle will cease. Should Governor
Tillman-and SO far he has done
nothing to deceive the. people
who elected him-to morrow desert
their cause or his life Be taken
another man would take his place
and the battle for right continues
IN all it fury, without abatement
or impairment,
We repeat: 1t is principles the
neople are fighting for, not men,

y After their crushing defeat in
Greenville on last Saturday, the
,antis went galliyantin round the
town to see if they couldn't get a
little comfort from some other
quarter. They serenaded the Green
vile News, Col. JAS. A. Hoyt, and
others, At last they struck Gen.
J. 81. Earle and called on him for
a speech. That gentleman asked
to be excused from speaking, but
at .theirrepeated solicitation spoke
briefly, to the same effect as his
recent letter in the News and Cou-
rier, that the present administra-
ton while not faultless, was 80
well grounded among the people
that it was useless to oppose it.
This speech put them on the
mourners' bench and they all with
one accord began to sing, soh,

James Z. Orr voted for the Rad.
;ical Judge Willard against Judge
Sam McGowan. Remember this
is the living James L. Orr, not the
dead one. Tillman. charged Orr
with this at Greenville, and he
opened not his mouth. He did
not dare to deny the charge.
;.a Car Gov. Sheppard, in justice
to his Edgefeld lineage, consort
with such cattle?
Tillman also charged this man
Orr with voting to keep a Repub-

manned Confederate soldier. Orr
did not deny this charge on the
stand, nor has he done it since.
