Out of 1921 enlisted men in the
First South Carolina regiment ESQ
have signed a petition asking to be
mustered out of the services OF In
Gle Sam and be permitted to return
to their homes. The officers, OF
course, Object to this and have en-
deavored to persuade the men to
withdraw the petition.
The Southern Railway company
has announced an increase OF h1e
and ten per cent. in tie wages OF all
its employees. This looks as if tie
sun of prosperity had come from
behind the lalk cloud of buslne<s s
depression and is beginning to shine
upon our people once more. LIT
every branch of business take cour-
age and press on.
T. is reported that there is much
sickness among our troops on Porto
Rico.

End Of the County Campaign.

We left tt e salvation srmy a.
Brcokland Tuesday night Of last week
addressing the mill operatives. The
regular campaign day at that place
was the following day. On account
Of the down pour of rain and the bad
condition OF the roads, not. many
electors turned out to hear the
speakers and be converted. From
this place the army took up its march
to the rich, fields and fertile valleys
os Irmo to victory or defeat. Thurs
dly between 100 aud 125 voters and
a NUMBER of ladies gathered to greet
tle army and listen to the doctrine
of vote catching. The meeting was
81 orderly and model one and the
Candidates were given an attentive
and respectful hearing. Maj. j. H.
Counts presided at this meeting.
The Candidates spoke along the lines
already given in these columns.
Nothing new was brought out except
by DR.. Stokes, who, in referring to
the tariff plank in Mr.. Brantleys
platform, said that this issue had, by
agreement of the national Democratic
party, been settled for the next two
years, and that the financial ques-
tion was the only live issue.
From this place the army took up
its march to storm and capture the
people of Chapir. and on arriving
there they were met by the next
largest gathering of the campaign.
They had close attention from the
people, and thus ended the canvass
of 1898 Hen. G. M. Efrd, County
Chairman, acted as the master of
ceremonies. At the beginning he
remarked that this meeting ended
the most decent and orderly cam
paign the county ever had and
thanked the people in advance for
their good conduct.
In this connection it may not be
amiss to warn our people to pay no
attention TO rumors which may be
sprung prior to the election. You
have heard the candidates, and you
are competent to judge OF their
merits. Let competency and fitness
be the standard and vote for the man
who in your judgment measures up
to this standard regardless of all the
campaign thunder that may be dis
tributed.

Premier Sagssta's claim, as set
forth in Madrid dispatches, that
Spain will expect indemnity for all
government property, buildings, bar
racks, Notifications, etc, in Cuba,
Porto Rico and elsewhere, has ex
cited much comment as showing the
difficult questions to be treated by
the military and peace commissions.
In official quarters here there is no
disposition to make counter claim
to Sagasta's proposition, for this will
be done in time before the commits
sion, and there is no purpose to out
line the governments policy in ad-
vance. At the same time leading
officials express their individual
opinion that Premier Sagasta's claim
is very far fetched, as it is said to be
the established rule of internal lsw
that all public property Of a general
government passes to the conqaeror
when change of territory occurs.
The rule is equally well established
that private property undergoes no
change. The question is somewhat
complicated in the present case by
the fact that Cuba and Porto Rico
are not acquired strictly by conquest,
but rather by mutual agreement. In
the case of Cuba, the question is
further complicated by the fact that
the United States has not asserted a
purpose to acquire or annex The ter
ritory, but merely to free it from
Spanish domination.

Earbecues.

We presume there WILDE grunts Of
delight and baas of pleasure all over
the county from the hog and sheep
family when the barbecue season
shall have passed. If it were not
for the hot weather and the never
ceasing tongue of the festive and
sprightly candidate, Mr.. hog would
imagine that it was hog killing time
in January, but everything must
have an ending and so will these
families be given a brief respite from
worry.
The first barbecue since our last
report was that given by the Ladies'
Aid Society of MI. Tabor Lutheran
church at Brookland, last Wednesday.
Unfortunately the rain descended
that day and prevented many from
enj ,ying the nicely cooked dinner,
prepared to feed the hungry multi
tude which was expected to gather
on that occasion who would have
otherwise patronized this cue.
At Irmo an excellently prepared
dinner was served by Mr.. H. U.
Buckley, which was enjoyed by all
who partook.
Another barbecue at Chapin's cam
paign day has been pronounced by
one in whose gastronomic abilities
we have the utmost confidence, to
have been supurb, grand and sublime.
The barbecue at D. Lee & 81. H.
Harman was we'll attended, Many
candidates coming from Chaplin in
double quick time to button hole tile
voter and enjoy the savory meats
and CONDIMENTS. The rain some
what dampened the ardor of the
occasion, but Notwithstanding all
report having had good time.
With view of having one glori-
Gus dinner, cooked in the old fashion
style when cue was a cue, We held
up on our rations and went to Lew
iedale as hungry as bear and just
in prime co-dition to make vigor-
Gus attack upon hash and ibis and
mutton, and We did ample justice.
The meats were cooked to a brown,
juicy and savory, the seasoning was
just right and it was by far the best
cue that We have attended in many
a year. Hal! & HfIlman has our un-
divided thanks and the large crowd
of people who were present went
away singing their praises. There
were a number of candidates present
who told the people their views on
the public questions. The music
furnished by the Hall Brothers, who
oro notnrol horn nusicians was sweet
and enhancing, excelling that OF
many travelling minstrel troupes.

NEW LIFE IN THE REPUBLIC
rom the Montgomery Jourr al.

From the Montgomery Journal.
 General Charles M. Shelley spent a few hours in Montgomery on private bus'ne S Friday. Speaking of the war with Spa n, in which he feels patriotic veterans desp interest, General Shelley said it w3s the beginning of a new life for the republic. Old conditions were passing away, and the country would never return to its life of political isolation and insulation. We have started out~to take our pace in the affairs of the nations and the landmarks set up by the fathers are passing away.
 We are going to have a stronger govern- ment, 8 stronger army, and str nger navy. The people are reaiiz'n ng son ething of their latent strength and are undou l. edly becoming ambitious to have a share in the discussion and decision of great inter- national questions. They are going to ac- quire and hold possessions abroad and b. come a colonizing power. The Nicaragua canal will be constructed, and many things done that would have a armed good stu dents of the constitution but short time ago. The const tu n will le found 10 be adapted to great expansion in it's provis- ions. It will be made to expand or grew, or adapt itself to new conditions.
 Besides, many of our wisest men are of the opinion that the constitution does not apply to lands that we may acquire abroad, nor to such an undertaking as the Nicaragua canal; but that these matters are solely within the discretion of the ocn- gresional and executive power. As for 'en- tangling alliances the In ted ates Is more than likely to enter ssch undertake ings with foreign powers. The country will require polite al friends amongst the DOW CTS. and will find its way to secure them.
 General Shelley did not intimate his own personal preference or sympathy in the weighty matters. He merely pointed out the present tendency of the public mird and its probable results.
