Madrid, Oct. 24.-Leut.-Gen. Correa,
minister of war, threatens to resign
unless the government upholds the ac-
ton of Gen. Chinchilla, captain-gen-
eral of Madrid, who last week impris-
oned Senior Figuerea, editor of Ell
Nacional, for publishing an article not
previously submitted to the censor
the imprisonment being resented in
certain quarters as an infringement of
Figuerea's alleged immunity from ar
rest as member of the chamber of
deputies.
Senior Gamazo, on Friday last, ten
dered his resignation as minister of
public instructions and public works

Figuerea. His recognition, taken with

Sagasta ministry on the subject.

court of Madrid against Gen. Chinchil-
las action. The captain-general, on

Prohibition Does Prohibit.

EI.HERrON, GA, July ~, lS9S.
HtitorS Intcfiiyenccr Gould we throw
Il word across the Savannah that would
in anywise rebound to the success of the
prohibition cause IN South Carolina, as
well as to tho success of Il worthy son OF
Anderson County, surely 1t would be I'm
kind on our part to withhold it.
We note with pleasure the strong hold
that prohibition is taking upon the peo-
pie OF the State. We note with equal
pleasure that Anderson County is fur
nishing the man in the person of our
friend, Featherstone, to carry the prohi-
biton standard. We are glad he Is max
ing clean race, and that the mud
al!ngins' business he's been ,elegatsd to
the background, no far az he is concerned.
1t isa pity that a full grown man, with
any self-respect, will descend to this OBJ
either In politics or other matters. Some
people have an idea that they must gain
political support, not so much upon their
own merit, ns upon tho demerit:of their
opponents. This all wrong, and the peo-
Pile ought to decry all such tactics by
vnling against all who descend to such
low plane in conducting their campaign.
Mr.. rrbble's ''snap shot in your last
issne IL good and to the point. The Dis
pansary Law Is wrong in principle Pro-
hibition Is right In principle.
Prohibition does prohibit. The claim
that 1t does not Is silly. OF course people
steal and men are murdered in the lace Of
the TACT that our laws prohibit iis COM
mission of these crimes. By way of H.
iustration we cite our little city of Fiber

venture that there is not a single town in

have police force that catch the offend

how to put on q fine. This il the secret
