Everybody is delighted with the
appointment of General N. c. Butler
as Major General in the United
States army, and the graceful atti-
tude assumed by Senator Tillnan in
the matter is the subject of very favor
able comment with all, but few sour
individuals who cannot appreciate a
good act coming from political op-
ponent. Senator Tillman could have
withheld his endorsement from But
ler and he could have fought his nom
ination, but he has shown himself
far above political prejudice when it
comes to matter of this nature.
General Butler has a record made,
aud in the present war we hope he
will have an opportunity to sustain
that record. Now that be is appoint
ed we hope the South Carolina troops
will be placed in his command; they
would follow him gladly and he
would have under him men that he
could feel sure would not disappoint-
him in an hour Of danger. We take
pleasure in congratulating the SOL
diery in having such a bold leader
as General Matthew c. Butler.

OLD GRANNY'S CHOLAG0GUE.

It is now said that Governor Ell
lerbe stands good chance of being
appointed a brigadier general by
President Mckinley. The Governor
has offered his services to the Presi-
dent and the South Carolina con-
gressional delegation are endeavoriug
to induce him to make Governor E.
lerbe one OF the forty brigadier gen.
erals that be will have to appoint.
The News and Courier has been
been thrown into Mysteries over the
announcement, and in Yesterdays
issue she exhibits herself as q full
dedged "Dodo." That Spanish sheet
comes forth with protest against
the Governors appointment, and all
through its colicky editorial petty
prejudice br::stles up like the quills
on porcuplne Oack-
It will be remembered that the
News and Courier did not succeed in
getting the troops modified in Char
lesion, and ever since its nerceDary
disappointment, it has taken course
of violent spite. Nobody appears to be
exerting themselves to get the News
and Courier paciied, and in fact,
many OF the readers of that paper
think hot water treatment would
cure the editor of his dyspepsia. The
News and Courier finds it unpleas-
ant (?) to protest against the Cover
nor's appointment. OF course it
would like to make some one believe
that it is possessed of a semblance of
sincerity. No, the News and Cou-
rier's protest is based on mean, petty,
spite.
Before that sheet can have voice
at headquarters it will first have to
prove itself clear OF being a Spanish
sympathizer. It's fipperty-aop course
since the declaration of war has rem
dered it open to grave suspicion. We
do not believe newspaper whose ef-
forts are directed to defeat man be-
cause OF grudge, can have much in
fuence with the authorities.

Il Shows the CgoYeu Hoof.

The papers now charge that State
Prohibition Chairman A. G. Jones
materially assisted in attempting to
keep the Manning military company
from going to Darlington during the
trouble there a few years ago. Queer
doings for prohibitionist and law
abiding citizen, if true.-Sumter Her
aid.
What has that to do with the pro-
hibition Observation-Disclosures News.
It has enough to do with the pro-
hibition question to show that the
leading spirit, is in such sympathy
with the whiskey element, that he did
all in his power to prevent the en-
forcement OF the dispenssry law.
That his political prejudices over
whelmed his reason to the extent OF
exhibiting clearly, that he stood ready
and anxious to defeat the admins
tration not from the desire to defend
a principle, but from political revenge
In other WORDS it WAS not that Jones
loved the bar-keepers less, but be
hated Tillman and his supporters
more.

RRsyEst0aD FOR COLONEL.

Governor Ellerbe will have to
make some more military appoint
ments for the army. He was exceed
inely fortunate in his first selections
and we sincerely hope he Will be as
fortunate again. It must be recog-
nized that in selecting men to go to
the front in charge of a body of meD,
more than usual care is necessary;
what fits a man for civil position
does not always make him safe lea
der on a battle field. Clarendon has
8 son whom we would like Governor
Ellerbe to take into consideration.
This man went into the service OF
his country at the age OF sixteen,
served throughout the war, and ever
since he has been one ofthe most act
i've militia men in the State. He not
only gave his time, out spent large
sums of money to keep his command
ap to high standard. The gentle
man we speak OF is Col. David "
Brailsford, who is a natural soldier
and leader OF men, and thoroughly
7ersed in the school of the soldier
We would like to see our chief Tx
ecutive honor Colonel Brailsford with
an appointment and we can vouch
that the service viii have no more
brilliant, dashine and competent Off
Ger than he. Brailsford is as modest
as a woman, but as fearless as a lion
and has all the qualities to make him
disciple of Lee and Jackson whom he
followed on many CORY field, as the
several scars upon his person bear
testimony.

WAR.

There is scarcely anything new IN
the war movements which we con-
slider sufficiently reliable to give to
onr readers. Itis claimed that amove-
ment has begun on Cuba, and that
scbley has swallowed Cervera and
has the dead wood on him. 1t IS al
so claimed that force of3o0 Cubans
1O0 Americans with Is pack mules
25 horses and a large amornt OF arms
and ammunition has been successful
" landed on the Cuban Island. The
principal thing done within the last
few days was the appointment OF a
lot of generals who in turn are ap'
pointing their staff officers; in the
meantime the poor privates are laid
up in camp waiting for orders tc
move.
A report which lacks confirmation
has found its way into the newspapers
claiming that schley has bombarded
Santiago harbor, and from Washing
ton comes the news that the war de-
partment is from now on, going to
push the war with vigor. We cer-
tainly hope that it will use more rigor
and less wind in the future. The
South Carolina regiment has receive
ed orders to move on to Chickamau-
ga and they expect to leave Colu@bis
tomorrow. The Independent Bat
tihon has not yet received marching
orders

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian tube.
When this tube gets inhamed yoa have a
ru,nbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to lis nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case OF deafness Caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

Yesterdays Item contained g state
ment with reference to Smallpox in
Manning which is a gross m!srepre-
sentation. That paper said court
convened yesterday moroing but as a
result of the outbreak of smallpox
no court business could be transact
ed an Judge Watts adjourned court
sine die" The truth is,that court did
convene and all Of the prisoners in
Jail awaiting trial were tried, and al
ter all OF the public business was fin
ished memorial service was held
at which Judge Watts was present.
The Item has been misinformed as
to the conditions existing in Man
ming, there is only one case of all
eyed smallpox and not Several well
defined cases" The Items readiness
to hoist the yellow flag over Manning,
we fear eminates from the action OF
our town authorities in quarentining
against Sumter and others towns
where the pest has become an cpl
demic.

Mr.. A. c. Jones, the chairman of
the Prohibition Executive Commit
tee, acknowledges that he did use his
influence to prevent the military from
responding to Governor Tillman's Or
ders. Well, there was nothing else
for him to do, as it was the truth, or
it would not have been asserted by
this paper. Jones not only "ac-
knowledges the corn" but he at
tempts to justify bis conduct by a
shrewdly written appeal to factional
prejudices and the men who were, by
the dispensary law, thrown out of the
liquor business.
In his letter Jones casts stigma
upon the memory of Gen. H. L. Far
ley, who, he says, told him ''he was
not surprised that the men did not
go, but that he was obeying orders
General Farley was a soldier with a
magnificent record and we must be-
eve Mr.. Jones is either mistaken or
he misunderstood General Farley. In
our opinion Gen. Farley would have
thrown down his sword and resigned
his commission rather than have
played the hypocrite, and when
he received his orders from tie Gov
ernor, like faithful soldier, he
obeyed and be expected every mil
itiamen in the State to do the same.
No, Mr.. Jones, General Farley was
too sincere a man to make any such
remarks to a man whom he knew was
doing his best to prevent the laws OF
the land from being executed, and at
that very moment was endeavoring
to prevent the General himself from
carrying out the orders which Jones
said Farley told him he was obeying.
General Farley is dead, and cannot
speak for himself, but the record left
behind him in war and in peace
stands out boldly as clear contra
diction Of Mr.. Jones statement.

IMMACULATE JONES.


The head of the Prohibition party's
machinery is such strong advocate
for the political success OF his party,
that he would not mind getting in the
way of the legal authorities to prevent
them from enforcing the dispensary
law. He has done that very thing in
the days gone by; such Jealous
political -Prohibitionist as a. Crane
Jones, the political-dry goods drum
mer for Northern concern, would
give the blind tigers carts-5lanche,
provided, nevertheless, notwith-
standing the said blind tigers will
give bis Prohibition-for- principle (:)
party their votes. Jones is no novice
in politics. He has the blandest
kind of smile, and in politics he IS
like the darkey's mule, EYER trus' EN-,
he tro' yo' shu.'
Jones is graduate of the political
school, l,prior to 1890; his courtly man
ncr and persuasive smile was one OF
the enticing features OF the Secre-
tarv of States Office years ago. He
held down a clerkship in that office
and be was regarded handsome,
ambitious fellow, with good pros
pect of some day being Secretary OF
State. He was shrewd and calcu-
lating, but when the political clouds
gathered in 1890 Jones, like his pre-
ceptors, lost his reckoning, and after
the storm passed over, our friend
Jones, now chairman of the Prohibi-
ton State Executive Committee, was
discovered endeavoring to crawl out
froc under the debris. AS soon as
he could get himself together he real
lied that his condition might cause
him to be taken for Dennis instead OF
Jones, so he gathered up gripsack,
turned up his nose at politics, and on
the road as drummer he went. Then
when the deplorable Darlington
riot" occurred, Jones political instinct
came to the surface and exhibited
itself in the effort to obstruct the
constituted authorities in executing
the law. Now we hear of him again
in a new role, the head of a cold
water army, we presume he might
be spoken Of as Immaculate JONES'
this time he wants Doodle to aid him
in spilling the wine when it was red,
Jones calls upon the preachers and
the ladies to help him turn the cup
from the lips OF his fellow-man; why
does he call on ministers and ladies:
Has be not on his ticket Hon. ". &.
Zimmerman who introduced the dis
pensa,y bill in the State Senate and
who declared himself to be unfavor'
able to the Prohibition platform and
nominees? Has not Jones got on his
Prohibition ticket Epton, another dis.
pensary mau, and Thompson, high
license advocate, but who favors tie
dispensary to Prohibition? Did moi
Jones make Dan Tompkius can
mouse from the Prohibition ticket
after he failed of election for State
chairman?
What more does our esteemed
friend want to make this fight? Sure
/! " with force made up of ex-bar
keepers who owe the dispensary S
grudge, political nalcontents who
are always "asin" the government arc
the politicians out OF job, Jones
ought 10 get up a fighting force with
out appealing for "boodle" to preach
ers and women.

President Mckinley has been kept
busy giving ambitious people fine
military appointments. This war
is god-send to many worthless son
of prominent politician, and when
actual fighting begins the fellows
without pull, will have to bear the
trials ard dangers and the other fel-
lows will get the honors 1t was ever
thus.

The indications are that Charleston
will have several companies to re-
spond to the Presidents second call,
but they are likely to come from Col
onel Robertson's regiment, if colored
troops will be taken. Robertson has
been trying hard to get his men in
for some time, and DR.. Sampson Pope
is also seeking authority to organize a
colored regiment. We hope if the col
cred troops are called in, that Colonel
Robertson who is colored man with
yesrs of militia experience, will be
given the preference.

Two Young Germans Run Over by
nm EAcursiOn Traia.


New York, July 25---Two young Ger
mans of the East Side-Gustay Betcke. a
painter of No 1A1 Avenue A. and Gertz
Henninger, who for the last eight weeks
had been living at No. 30s East Forty
Sixth Street-started out yesterday morn
ing to go to Lackawaxen, Pa, where
: they expected to close a real estate
transaction in which they were both
greatly Interested. A dispatch last ev-
eIsng announced that both had been In
stantiy killed by train while walking
on the Erie Railroad tracks near tEyS
Place Betcke owned the land, which
was situated near Lackawaxen. and had
held 1t for several years, but as his bust
ness and marriage had brought him to
this city he had had no opportunity to
make use of 1t. and had advertised II for
sale. .: ..
Henninger had answered and at the
time they met their death the owner was
taking ',aie prospective purchaser out to
show him the property They had wait
ed until Sunday to take the trip, as spec
ial excursions are then run to Sholola
Glen which Is the next station to Lack
AWAKEN.
According to the dispatches. they were
struck by a second excursion train a
mile west of Shohola. Their bodies We're
identified by means of two letters found
upon rnem. 1t was on Il sharp curve in
Fuller's cut that the accident occurred.
ar~1 the engine driver did not see the men
until the locomotive was fairly upon
than.
