THE MONARCH PEOPLE,

We believe, are the most enterprising and
liberal in the bicycle trade, and have de-
termined to give those who failed to get
a Defiance wheel something equally as
good, if not better, for the same money,
and, therefore, have notified us that they
still have in stock a limited number OF
1897 S75 Monarchs which they will fit
with 1898 tires and saddles and authorize
us to sell them at the low price Of $3.50.
There is no better value on the market
than these wheels. Every one of them
is backed by liberal guarantee. These
wheels will be furnished in %, "a and
and 26-inch frame, for men, and 20 and
% for ladies. You can't do better unless
you buy 1898 Monarch and they are abb
solutely the best OH the market with
every up-to- date feature.

- Later advices are to the effect that
the attempt to land two companies
of the First infantry, under Captain
Dorst, from the Gussie, at Havana,
last Friday. proved failure. One
company of infantry waded ashore
and had a sharp fight with the Span
iards, putting them to flight. But
there were only few insurgents at
the rendezvous, and the Spaniards
were afterward reinforced in such large
numbers that Captain Dorst deemed it

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN
Said That Europe Is Looking For Univer-
sal War,

Said That Europe Is Looking For Univer-
sal War.
Just what it means we confess we
do not know. There is something be-
hind it all that is not clear to the
uninitiated. Many of the newspapers,
at home and abroad, insist that France
is rather too friendly with Spain. The
state department, through the Asso-
ciated Press, is seeking to make a
different impression. There are occur
ing numerous circumstances which are
calculated to raise grave doubts as to
lust how matters stand. Other articles
in this issue are calculated to give an
idea of the uncertainty of the situa-
ton, and the following Washington
dispatch to the St. Louis Globe Demo-
crat, purporting to be an interview
with a European diplomat, may be
taken for what it is worth
at may be safe to predict that we are
near a universal war, unless diploma
cy prevents it. You see, Europe
has been looking for it for long while,
and every power has been preparing
to meet it. Russia is always ready,
and we may say the same thing of
England. The latter would have pro-
voked war over the Turkish troubles
had she won the United States for an
ally. Now, in my opinion, as an in
dividual, the ;time for this war is very
near, and it may come sooner than
you think.
at will come by an attempt to stop
the American-Spansh war, as soon as
the latter's great fleet meets the Amer
lean squadrons. England, of course,
will not Join the other powers in their
attempt further than, l may say, the
expression of her sympathy, which
will amount to nothing. Eng
wants the opportunity to be on the
side of the United States, so that when
disputes shall arise she will engage in
a war for which she has been prepar.
ing for long while.
1.-THE war will surely come, because
the United States will not give up
fighting Spain until the resolutions of
congress are carried through. The
powers don't intend to allow the war
now on to continue, and even if the
United States should consent to de-
clare a truce, there will be disagree
ment about the terms for peace.
"You may rely upon what l say,
that universal war will come in this
way. Austria, France and Italy will,
for while, remain on the fence, un-
til England openly sides with the
United States, in which instance Rus
sia will join Austria and Germany the
the United States.
"You can rest assured that these
plans are now under consideration by
the cabinets, and that the United
States administration knows it as well
as England does; and that is one OF
the reasons the Lafayette was set free,
and why you will hear nothing about
the French official holding dispatches
at St. Pierre, Martinique, intended for
the government here, while the Span,
ish ships were coaling there"

Evans Gets IL Commission.
Washington correspondence OF the
News and Courier: Ex-Governor Jno.
Gary Evans has "pulled OFF, com
mission in the army. With the aid OF
Senator Tillman the ex-governor has
been appointed an assistant adJutant
general, with the rank of captain.
His appointment was sent to the sem
ate last Thursday, but there was a
mistake in the printing of his name,
hence his South Carolina friends did
not recognize him in his new military
title. He arrived here today and was
in consultation with Senator Tillman.
The ex-governor comes from militia
nv family aud he will remain here un-
ill he receives his commission.
Our State Troops.
The record at the war department
at Washington on Sunday morning
showed that 533 men had been MUS
tered into the service, and that 81
officers had been sworn in. This in
cluded the following commands: The
Abbeville Volunteers, the Newberry
Guards, the Lee Light Infantry, the
Catawba Rifles, the Greenville Guards,
the Johnson Rifles, Of Union, the An
dersca Volunteers, and the Darling
ton Guards. This does not include
the Butler Guards, of Greenville,
sworn in Sunday, and this company
will run the list up to 700 privates,
Just oue-half of the number called for.
The companies which have not yet
gotten up their full quotas are EdistO
Rifles, of Orangeburg; the Bamberg
Guards; the Governors Gurds, of Co.
lumbia; the Manning Guards; the
Richland Volunteers, of Columbia; the
Sumter Light Infantry, the Palmetto
Rifles, of Aiken, and the Charleston
Battery. The Edisto Rifles, the Sum-
ter Light Infantry, the Richland Vol.
untecrs and the Charleston Battery
have more nearly reached their quotas
than the other commands. All of the
companies which are short of men
have recruiting officers in all parts OF
the state, and if there are any volun'
teers in the state who want to get into
the service, there is no reason in the
world why they should not get place
i'm the front, there is room for all who
apply the examining physician ha:
the application blanks.

day morning. He and his men were

THE EARLY BIRD
GOT The WORMS.

TARLY last August. the MONARCH
y CYCLE COMPANY manufacturers
of the Monarch and Defiance Bicycles
made an estimate as to how many DE
fiance" wheels would he necessary to
meet the demands for the best medium
price on the market and concluded that
24,OOO, basing their calcul lations on the de-
mand for the season then drawing TO
close, would be sufficient, and laid in the
necessary material for making them and
started to work. The series included six
models-three for gentlemen and three
for ladies as follows: A gents and ladies'
Defiance at $50, another pair at $40 and
third pair at S35. AS soon as the trade
riders-saw the wheels it went wild, and
by May l, the W hole output had been SOLD.
We only succeeded in placing six of these
wheels and our customers are all delight
ed. No more can now be made for the
1913 trade.
