TUESDAY. July 5TU,

Cervera's fleet made desperat,
dash for liberty out of Santiago
harbor at 9 80 o'clock "a. m. JULY
Sd and by 2 O'Clock the same day
every ship of the squadron of six
of the finest vessels of the Spanish
navy was a wreck. and Cervera, Il
officers and 600 of his men were
prisoners. Sampson photographed
the news as a Fourth of July gift
for the nation. The Americans lost
one man killed and two wounded
The enemy's dead is $50 and lee
wounded. Ccrvera is wounded. A
gunboat also was destroyed. Ad-
miral Sampson was away studying
some of the enemy's shore defenses
when Cervera made his break and
old Bully Boy Schley had the honor
of commanding the squadron that
did the most of the fighting. Ger
vera fought pluckily. Three of the
destroyed ships, the yizcaya, Oqu-
endo and Maria Teresa, were
lirst-class armored cruisers, the
finest and swiftest, as well as the
most heavily armed, of their class
in the world. The Colon was but
little if any inferior TO the other
three. The torpedo boat destroy
ers Furor and Pluton were among
the best of their class. Ceryera on
the Colon made the nearest success
of the attempt to escape. In just
a few hours fight Spain lost near
$4,000, 900 in value of warships.
Ceryera's dash took our fleet COM
pletely by surprise, but it was
ready for him in the shortest order.

Miss Eiiie, the pretty and popu-

visit to her sister, Mrs. JAS. Greer,
has returned home.
a friend says the way to get
away with bed bugs is to give them
salt water. This will make the bed
bugs dry, and when they are away
after a drink move your bed into

If law could be passed and en-

will be in better frame of mind
to give you a complimentary notice

a word to you, sonny,-you little
twelve or thirtecn-year- old boy who
is smoking cigarettes on the sly !:
What do you want TO be when you
grow up-a stalwart, healthy, Wig
orous, broad shouldcred man, or Il
puny, measly, no-account, weak
minded dude? If you want To be Il
man, with hair on your face, brains
in your head and muscles in your
limbs, you just let those cigarettes
alone. If you want to be thing
pitied by your folks, despised by
the girls and held in contempt by
your fellows, keep right on smok-
ing cigarettes and end your dayd
in an insane asylum.
Before writing up items for The

while walking around we saw three
men arrested for splitting on the
pavement. A garbage barrel stood
on each corner, hand painted and
tied with blue ribbon, mail boxes
were decorated with drawn work
throws, and the tire-plugs had
cushioned seats on top of them !
sweet-pea vines were climbing over
the electric light poles and hand
painted cuspidOr occupied prom
inent place on every corner. There
was no business, not a team being
allowed on the Main street for fear
of making dust. The town was de-
serted save for the policewoman,
who marched up and down to see
that no one with dusty shoes step
ped into town. During the dream

worrying about trusts, combines
and milliOnaires. If | understand
anything about trusts and combines
| don't believe they are right, but
we all believe in free country and

All bonds and all other property
ought to be taxed to keep our
country out of debt. L believe in
protecting our Industries by
high tariff on all foreign products
outside of the necessarIes of life.
1 want whisky and tobacco taxed
so it would take millionaire to
use them. l believe in a sound
money basis so we Will be able to
trade with all nations under the
sun. AS to millionaires / believe
from Bible history Adam was a
millionaire, but that was not the
cause of his fall: he broke Gods |
holy law. Abraham was a million
are. Think of his cattle on a
thousand hills. Wouldn't his wealth
have reached into the millions if
his cattle had sold at sound money
prices? And yet he pleased God
and il was accounted unto him for
Solomon asked God
for wisdom and He gave him wis
dom and riches too. Yet with all
his wisdom and riches too, he was
not because he was
multimillionaire, but because he
lived sinful life. The rich man
spoken of in one of our Lords par
ables didn't lift up his eyes in tor
ment because he was rich, but be-
cause he hadn't humanity enough
to feed Lazarus. If you will study
the Bible, my friend, you will find
hat mans sins condemn him and ,
not his money. OF course, money ,
helps man in many ways to sin, but /:
f they want to live Il sinful life '
hey can do SO on a very small
capital.
| will close our argument by
,sking you and every Christian to
DIN with me in asking God to
watch over and protect our beloved

ty in the hot and feyerisl cline of

Curse of Spain.

| Clericalism contributes its full
\ share to the downward progfesSal
Spain, says Henry G.. Lea in the
July Atlantic. The intensity of
the Spanish character, which can
do nothing by halves, lent an enOr-
nous power for evil to the exag-
gerated religious ardOr OF the peo-
pie.
The concrete embodiment of un-
reasoning fanaticism is to be seen
in the Inquisition, established for
the purpose of securing the SUI
preme good of unblemished purity
and uniformity of belief. Nothing
was allowed to stand in the way of
this, and no sacrifice was deemed
too great for its accomplishment.
All officials, from the King down
ward, were sworn to its support,
and the sinister influence which il
exercised was proportional to the
enormous power which il WELD

While the rest of the civilized
world was bounding forward in
career of progress, while science
and the useful arts were daily add
ing TO couquests of Dan over the
forces of nature, and rival nations
we're growing in wealth and power,
the lnquisition condemned Spain
to stagnation; invention and dis
covery were unknown at home, and
were discouraged or at least adj
mitted with jealousy from abroad.
Recuperative power wa thstr
wholly lacking to offset the de
structive effects of misgOvernment,
the national conservatism was in
tensihed, and habit of mind was
engendered which has kept Spain
TO this day virtual survival of the
Renaissance.
