Hampton spoke and caused tho widest

tho war with Spain:
MY old comrades, we know what WAY

the one upon which wc are now entering.
But you are South Carofinians; you arc
sons Of the men who have shed immortal
glory on the Palmetto flag in the past,
and | would rather die than think that
South Carolina would not respond to the
call upon her for volunteers. AS old as
am, | can still ride on horseback and
WELD sword, and if her quota is not
fillcd, If there is one namo lacking to
make it full, ! myself will volunteer.
This is our country, and it is our duty to

The Situation.

s The Arst important engagement be.
tween the American and Spanish forces
occurred last Saturday before Manila OH
tho Philippine Islands. 1t was q decis.
i've victory for the American ships undor
command Of Commodore Dewey. Tho
Spanish fleet was completely annililatcd,
and tho city of Manila has passed into
the control of the American officers. IT
is said the victory Is tho greatest in tho
history Of naval warfare.
The result of tho battlo will doubtless
haston the end of tho war. Spain will
probably mako ono moro desperate effort
to regain hor lost ground. But no more
: fighting will occur in tho Pacific. Tho
scene of battle will now DO changed to
Cnban waters. The Spanish Government
is still determined to pursue tho conflict
to the bitter cnd, however unwiso such
course may be. IIor war ships a~o to
be brought together in q combined
assault Oh tho Atlantic squadron, under
command of Admiral Sampson, before
Havana. Should sho meet with such
another defost lis that Of tho Philippines,
tho war will practically bo brought to a
CLOSE. In this event but little will be
loft for tho regular army to do. Several
thousand soldiers arc in readiness to sail
for Cuba at n moments notice. They
will bo landed on Cuban soil and ioin
Gomez in taking Havana. The blows
will DO dealt by Uncle Sam hard and fast
until the freedom of Cuba is accom-
plishod. The American navy has GOV
cred itself with glory and the sailor bows
havo dono themselves proud. 1t is highly
probable they will win tho 1allrcls and
DO crowned tho victors before tho army
boys got chance to win their spurs.

members attended the club meeting than
there were delegates appointed, and at
tho club meetings at other places we are
informed the number attending was cor
respondingly small. Not more than
twenty-five or thirty delegates were in
attendance at tho convention and very
littlo interest and no enthusiasm mani
tested. This lack of interest may bc
explained in moro ways than one. 1t
may have been caused by the fact that
the convention was held just at this
