An Ardent Advocate of Colonel Watson
Calculates on the Result.
Columbia Record.

Calculates on the Result.
Columbia Record.
Who will be the next governor OF
South Carolina? Thatimportant ques-
tion will practically be settled two
weeks from today. Nobody seriously
supposes that any of the candidates
will win the nomination in the first
primary, but when the first primary
has eliminated all the gubernatorial
candidates but two it will not be hard
TO make a reasonably accurate predic-
ton as to which of those two will be
the winner in the second primary.
There are seven candidates-the in
cumbent, Governor w. H. Ellerbe, OF
Marion ; R. B. Watson, of Saluda; E.
L. Archer, of spartanburg; G. w.
Whitman, of Union o. L. Schumpert,
of Newberry G. D. Tillman, of Edge
field, and C. C. Featherstone, of Laur-
ems.
The first four are Reformers and ad-
vocates of the dispensary law the last
three are Conservatives, Schumpert
and Tillman advocating local option
and high license, and Featherstone
prohibition.
The vote cast will probably aggre-
gate $4,000 as county officers are to be
nominated at the same time, which
will bring out many more voters than
took the trouble to cast their ballots
in the senatorial primary of 1897.
Governor Ellerbe was counting on
the solid Conservative support, and
has bestowed the patronage of his Of
fee to bring about that result, but has
not succeeded.
The bulk of the Conservatives and
some Reformers will vote for Schum-
pert, who will receive at least 25,OOO
votes.
Whitman may get 300 votes and
Tillman and Archer will not get over
1000 votes together.
Featherstone will scarcely exceed
10000 votes.
This leaves $1,000 votes to be divid-
ed between Ellerbe and Watson, OF
which the latter will get at least
10000.
If this calculation be even approx
mately correct, the second race will be
between Watson and Schumpert, and
the former would be winner, because
the Prohibitionists as well as the dis
pensary men would rally to his sup
port.
If the second race should chance to

WHY LATIN IS USED BY PHYSICIANS.

II don't see," said the man who was
leaning against the drugstore counter,
"why doctor can't write his prescrip-
ton in English, instead of Latin"
The druggist said, "You think, I
suppose, that the doctor writes his
prescription in Latin so it can't be read
80 easily-so the layman can't steal
his trade and learn what he is giving
him. But that's all wrong. In the
first place, Latin is a more exact and
concise language than English, and,
being a dead language, it does not
change, as all living languages do.
"Then, again, since very large part
of all the drugs in use are botanical,
they have in the pharmacopela the
same names that they have in botany
the scientific names. Two-thirds of
such drugs haven't any English names,
and so couldn't be written in English.
"But suppose a doctor did write a
prescription in English for an unedu-
Gated patient. The patient reads it,
thinks he remembers it, and so tries to
get it filed from memory the second
time. Suppose, for instance, it calls
for iodide of potassium and he gets it
confused with cyanide of potassium.
He could safely take ten grains of the
first, but one grain of the second would
kill him as dead as a mackerel. That's
an exaggerated case, but it will serve
for an illustration. Don't you see how
the Latin is protection and a safe
guard to the patient? Prescriptions
in Latin he can't read, and conse-
quently doesn't try to remember.
"Now for final reason. Latin is
language that is used by scientific men
the world over, and no other language
is. You can get Latin prescriptions
filled in any country on the face of the
earth where there is a drugstore. We
had a prescription come in here the
other day which we had put up origin
ally, and which had since been stamp
ed by druggists in London, Paris, Ber-
lin, Constantinople, Cairo and Calcut-
ia. What good would an English
prescription be in St. Petersburg ?"-

REPORTING CONGRESSIONAL DEBATES.


Those of US who have been in the
house of representatives at Washing
ton when a debate was going on may
perhaps have wondered how this babel
of noise and interruption can be report
ed at all. Edward V. Murphy gives
in The Youths Companion this lively
sketch of congressional reporters
work:
When debate is progressing in an
orderly way at point not too remote,
the reporters take notes at the desk
assigned them, but at any moment
remark may be made which will arouse
veritable tempest. Members from
all parts of the large hall rush into the
vicinity of the melee, shouting and
gesticulating like madmen. The re-
porter darts from his seat, note book
in hand, reporting as he goes, and se-
cures the best attainable point of van
tage, so that no utterance in this war
fare of words may escape him. Sway
ed from side to side, pushed hither
and thither, his trained ear identifies
each speaker by his voice :; for his fng-
ers are flying over the pages of his
note book and his eyes must be upon
that; and yet each time a remark is
made he records not only the remark
but the name of him who uttered it.
In an instant the scene of battle may
change to another part of the chamber.
Thither the reporter proceeds as rap
idly as possible, his fingers still flying;
and once more he is in the midst of
another angry and excited throng. A
column of the Record is, however, the
limit of his "turn," and when he has
reached it, with rapid movement
of his pencil or nod of the head he
indicates to his waiting associate that
the time has arrived for him to enter
the lists, and so number two begins
at the point where number one ends,
and 80 on throughout days session.
AS soon as reporter is relieved he
proceeds to the reporters room in the
basement of the building, where he
either Immediately dictates his notes
to a shorthand amanuensis or to the
graphophone. BY the time he has
finished his dictation the first part of
his "turn" may be Transcribed and
ready for his revision; but whether
the revision be completed or not, when
the time is at hand for him to return
to the house he must 60 and relieve
the reporter who precedes him.

EXCURSION TO CLIFFS.
Pretty Description of the Scenery Up the
Narrow Gauge.

Pretty Description of the Scenery Up the
Narrow Gauge.
From the Chester Lantern, August 10.
The excursion train bound for Cliffs
left here Wednesday morning with
quite number of vacant seats. This
was due to the fact, however, that the
morning was very disagreeable.
A large party was at the depot in
Yorkville ready to join the excursion
lists, but when the train reached that
point it was raining so heavily they
would not risk going. Farther up the
line, however, the clouds became less
threatening and at each of the points
along the road the crowd was con-
siderably increased. When Hicko-
ry was reached it was found that very
little rain had fallen and the shining
sun gave promise of delightful day.
Quite a number of people, both old
and young, boarded the train there.
The Cliffs are only few miles above
this point, as one glance from the win
dow would clearly show. For miles
and miles in every direction it looks
as if one hill is topped by another till
hills and clouds meet. This scene con-
tinues for several miles.
For several hundred yards before
reaching the Cliffs proper, the view
is entirely obstructed by overhanging
"mountains"- suppose we South
Carolinians would call them. The
railroad runs 80 close to these noun
tains or hills that they could almost
be touched by the hand from the car
window. The thick underground that
covers their sides, render them almost
inaccessible.
Just at the foot of one of these bills,
in fact almost under the hill itself, is
the depot, and within about hundred
yards flows the Catawba, muddy and
slightly turbulent from the recent
rains. Beyond the river, as far as the
eyes can reach, lie rolling fields OF corn
or cotton. A saw mill situated on the
river a short distance down the stream
renders the scene even more pictur-
esque.
The tent in which the speaking is
conducted stands on the top of con-
siderable eminence back of the depot.
Steps lead up the hillside for some
distance, then winding paths, making
the trip more circuitous but less ex-
hausting. Had not the attraction at
the summit been so great, I'm afraid
many would have succumbed before
they succeeded in reaching the top
but few are they who would not climb
several mountains to hear "Snolly-
goster" Ham, of Georgia.
From this lofty point the scenery is
almost enchanting. To the west in
the distance can be seen the lofty cliffs
surmounted by still loftier ones, and
all covered with the richest vegetation.
In looking down on the little Narrow
Gauge railroad as it follows the grace.
full curves of the Catawba, one could
almost imagine himself looking down
upon the French Broad. The river
and the railroad can be seen as far as
the eye can reach, running side by
side till both are lost in the mountains.

BLANCO WOULD ESCAPE LEE.
A Globe-Democrat dispatch fror

A Globe Democrat dispatch from
Washington, the 18th, says that Blan-
co.'s attempt to resign the captain gen
eralship of Cuba has failed. He asked
to have his resignation accepted last
week, and intended to get out of Cuba
before the protocol was signed. In
furtherance of this purpose he went so
far as to have a steamer waiting for
him at Matanzas. Had the notice of
acceptance reached him he would have
made a desperate effort to run the
blockade. The plans of Blanco be-
came known at Washington, and the
blockading squadron was on the alert
to make him a prisoner. But the
Spanish government did not accept
the resignation before the suspension
of hostilities, and seems 10th to con-
slider it favorably now.
Blanco wants to escape the humilia-
tion of evacuation. He is the "last
ditch" Spaniard. He was for holding
out longer than any of the rest. He
demanded of Toral at Santiago that
be stay in the defenses and die rather
than surrender, and when negotiations
for peace were known to be in progress
Blanco was foremost in proclaiming
himself in favor of more war. Since
the signing of the protocol he has
issued an address covertly rejecting
upon the Spanish government for not
fighting longer. Those who know
Blanco think they see in his course
the consistency and the art of the poll
tician rather than the bravery of the
soldier. They believe bis resignation
was prompted, first by the fear that
he would have to meet Fitzhugh Lee
returning to Havana in triumph, and
second by the hope that he might pose
as the champion of continued resist
ance if the Spanish people should re-
sent the course of the government.
Blanco felt intensely bitter toward
General Lee. He refused to meet him
when as consul general he called at
the palace the day of his departure
from Havana. Blanco undoubtedly
believed that General Lee would be
the American from whom he would
have to receive the terms of evacua-
ton, and his Spanish honor could not
stand it. That Blanco would have
fought any more desperately than the
other Spanish generals if the war had
been brought to the gates of Havana,
those who have known him do not be-
lieve. His attempted designations are
regarded here as unworthy.

TO WHIP ANYTHING AFL0AT.

The Washington correspondent OF
The Globe-Democrat says that the
navy department will ask congress
to authorize the construction of the
largest and most formidable battleships
and cruisers afoat-vessels with
out equals in any foreign fleets, and
incomparably superior in offensive
power, speed and endurance to any of
the magnificent ships which a few
weeks ago destroyed Cervera's squad
ron. This decision, reached at meet
ing of the naval board of construction
today, will be urged upon congress for
prompt action, supported by argu-
ments of the most convincing charac-
ter.
The board practically agreed to be-
gin the design of three battleships of
between $4,000 and $4,000 tons dis
placement, with at least 19 knots main
tanned speed, radical advance from
the 11,525-ton, 16 knot ships of the
Alabama and Kearsage class, which
now represent the maximum powered
unit of the American navy. 1t was
also determined to recommend three
firstclass cruisers of about II, 900 tons
and of not less than % knots speed,
nearly half again as large as the New
York and the Brooklyn, and of from
three to four knots greater speed. In
addition to these, a class of protected
and partly armored cruisers of between
5000 and 5000 tons, similar to the
Olympia, Admiral Dewey's flagship,
but of much higher speed, was favor
ably considered, as well as a new class
of 2,5OO-ton cruisers, a little larger
than the Detroit and the Marblehead
and smaller than the Atlanta and the
Boston.
Every member of the board warmly
indorsed the necessity Of sheathing
every one of these vessels in the inter
ests of speed and economy, and to
make them practically Independent of
dry docks. They will therefore be the
best-sheathed vessels in the United
States fleet. The members of the
board are of the opinion that no more
important naval lesson has been learn
ed from the recent war than that OF
the rapid deterioration below the water
line of warships in tropical waters
through the accumulation of marine
growth upon their bulls, reducing their
speed in every instance after a few
months more than 25 per cent, and
in some instances as high as 60 per
cent.
The question Of gun calibres and
armor on the new battleships and first
class cruisers is still unsettled, but the
chief of ordnance, Captain O'Neih,
who is president of the board, announ-
ced his readiness to agree to a max
imum calibre of IL inches, if thereby
a more widely extended disposition of
armor could be obtained, with greater
speed and greater coal endurance. He
also favored an attempt to secure the
unprecedented speed of "a knots for
the huge armored cruisers and mini
mum of 20 knots for the battleships.
The battleships will be designed to
whip any fighting vessel in the world,
of whatever class, and the cruisers are
to be more formidable than any vessels
of their speed designed up to this time
in Europe. The board made no refer

be between Ellerbe and Schumpert,
the latter would win, because he would
hold his first vote and gain the support
of thousands who are disgusted with
the present chief executive.
The next governor will be either
Watson or Schumpert, and either will
be vast improvement upon the in
cumbent.
Those who care little about Ellerbe,
but think that for the present the chief
executive should continue to be a
Reformer, had better vote for Watson,
for in a second race between Ellerbe
and Schumpert, the latter would GER
tainly be a winner.

The direction of Newport, followed by
mother car, CT which was seated the
oortIy frame of Father John O'Donnell.
Just before they started Langford had
galloped away in the same direction.
The traveller who is acquainted with
the desolate scenery of Clew bay knows
how sad and dreary are it's prospects,
though for the lover of wild landscape
they possess beauty Of their own. On
the afternoon of which we are writing
there was little to brighten or animate
the scene. Thick clouds were drifting
from the Atls,atic and clustering in gray
vapor round the distant mountains of
Mulrany and Achill, and inland driz-
ely rain was falling from the gray and
sunless sky. On either side of the road
pursued by Langford stretched barren
bogs and watery pastures divided into
sections by gray stone walls, with here
and there a glimpse of lonely home
stead and clump of leafess trees.
Presently Langford reined in his horse
and suffered it to walk, while he sat III
the saddle, lost in gloomy meditation.
In this fashion he pursued his solitary
way for several miles, until he saw in
the distance the roofs and chimneys OF
the little town of Newport. He then
stopped his horse and after moments g
reflection turned into narrow byroad
which led to the left, in the direction
of the sea.
Urging his horse into a trot, he pro.
ceeded rapidly for about mile, when
the road ended in a broken stone wall.
Leaping the wall, he found himself in a
meadow of thick grass, at the farther
extremity of which, facing the sea, was
a house built of white stone-a large
and lonely house much stained and
damaged by wind and weather, but
with the appearance Of having been at
some distant period fine mansion. At
tached to it were walled gardens and a
large orchard full of trees, which yield
ed little fruit.
This was Langford House, where the
family of Langford had dwelt for gen.
erations and where he, bachelor and
the last of his line, still resided.
It was a solitary place, far removed
from any human abode. Although there
was room there for large establishment,
as the auctioneers express it, everything
was disordered. dilapidated and tum-
BILE down The house itself faced a
weedy lawn. at the bottom Of which
was a stone we'll, and beyond the we'll
stretched green saltings and salt pools,
covered at high tide by the sea.
Not human creature was visible as
Langford rode round to the front door,
but the sound Of his horses hoofs was
heard within the house, for On upper
window opened and face looked out
the face of an old woman
