History Of the Spanish-American
War" BY Henry Wattersoa.

AsASeS! ~ s@@" ~S~-~~s@- Ss~>>~ ~> sSs'Ss
War;" by Henry Wattersoa.
The above is the title of superbly
illustrated, richly bound volume is
sued by The Werner Company,
Akron, Ohio. 1t is the OILY authen-
tic history of the Spanish American
War that has SO far come to our
notice. All the others have, in the
main, been merely vamped histor-
les of the Cuban War, with some
illustrations and a few chapters
about the Spanish-American War.
OF course, anything written by
Henry Watterson would be readable.
He, above all other men in America,
is fitted by training and experience
to write history Of this war, which
has brought worldwide renown and
glory to our arms. Every line Of the
book breathes an enthusiastic spirit
of patriotism that is exhilarating and
inspiring.
The work contains over $50 pages,
a large number OF full-page half
tones, together with many rich
dorb!e-page illustrations in ten
,lcrs. 1t is sold by subscription,
and will undoubtedly prove money
maker to every intelligent salesman.

The S4luda Valley Il abroad lIOln
Brookland via Lexington, PriceYllle
and Delmar 10 Saluda G. H, is still
alive in the hearts and minds OF the
citizeas of Brookland. This road is an
absolute necessity for the citizens re-
-iding on both sides Of Saluda river
from Brookland to Saluda c. H; and
the stockholders of this road would
hold one of the best railroad corpo-
rations in the State. The Saluda
valley on both sides Of the river, is
denseIy populated, the soil produc-
tive and the citizens generally, are
we'll to do Public meetings by the
citizens along this line should be
held as we'll as at Saluda, Delmar,
Lexington, Priceville and Brookland,
and a charter secured at the ne1t
meeting of the Legislature. This
road can be quickly and cheaply
built by stock secured along the line
and at other places. This line Of
road would about equally divide the
vide territory between the Dutch
Fork and Southern railroads.

The Major is very clever and
sficient Magistrate, and the citizens
of Brookland and many of the bust
ness men of Columbia feel that bis
official presence is a. necessity, and
are much gratlhed that he has re-
turned; and judging from his i'm

fine place in which to live.
The Brookland Academy under
the efficient supervision of Prof. W.
D. Dent is prosperous and growing

scholars are in attendance with the
prospect of one hundred or more.
Prof. Dent is an educated Christian
gentleman, knows how to run a
school, and good work is being done

What has become Of the Electric
Railway from Lexington to Brook

millions of capital is lying idle await

necessi ie and will amply repay in.

CAPITAL AND LABOR.

1t may not De lnoppoftune Jus' a.
this time when labor troubles are
rife TO review, as briefly as we can
the relations which exists, or, at least
should exist, between capital and
labor.
There are at present environments
surrounding these two forces in our
economic relations that have ien-
dency to breed contempt and suspi-
cion on the part of the one and envy
and suspicion on the part OF the other,
These two forces whose interests are
SO nicely blended that one cannot be
disturbed without the other feeling
the effects of that disturbance to q
greater or less degree, should Ger
tainly work in unison together. The
very existence of each demands that
they should pull harmoniously to-
getber and that no friction should be
allowed to wear away the thread OF
mutual benefit and cause a gap to
be opened between them and rend
them asunder.
The art Of money making and
money saving, which is nothing more
or less than capital, is just as much a
gift of nature as is the art of labor,
no matter in what sphere it may be
developed and expended. The laws
of both nature and business require
that there shall be both employer and
employee; all cannot be hewers
of wood and drawers oil water,
neither can all be Jacobs, or Wander
bilts or Cramps. Hence, the rela
tiohs between capital and labor,
should be marked by the utmost
consideration for the necessities and
requirements of each. Confidence
il each other should be the motive
power which impels capital 10 hold
a helping hand to labor, and labor to
work in the interest of capital that
the best results may be attained.
1t is to the interest of capital to ele
Vate labor, not to degrade it. The
higher the standard of labor is raised
the more reliable it becomes and the
more. remuneratiYe it becomes to
capital. Labor, like capital, should
under no circumstance be oppressed
Every reasonable demand should be
met in spirit of friendliness and
given due and respectful consider
alton, and as far as the circumstances
will permit, acceded to. On the
other hand, labor should be reason
able; it should treat capital as an all,
and net as an enemy which is always
on the alert to take undue advantage
of it; it should perform its duties
cheerfuly, faithfully and carefully,
remembering always that from the
very nature Of things capital must
always. control lat or, for the very mo
ment that labor becomes indepen
dent of capital, that moment it be-
comee unreliable and worthless.
Strikes are never beneficial to either
party. They entail heavy loss on one
and to the other they bring suffer
ing, want and misery. Its progress
is marked by ruin and starvation
and idle industries and loafng
hands. To avoid strikes and restore
confidence concessions must be made
and labor and capital must meet
on half way ground and amicably
adjust their differences.

RED CROSS WORK.

The letter of Gen. King to the ladies
of the. Red Cross should not be mis-
understood. It is evidently written
with care, and shows the Generals in
tentfon to deal justly and tactfully
with delicate matter. He recognizes
fully the generosity OF the ladies, but
feels that the American Government is
bound to take care Of it's Sick men, es-
pecially since the issuance of the order
from the medical headquarters allow
ing the sum of so cents per day to be
used for each. sick person in the pur-
chase OF extra food.
The officers in command OF the
troops gratefully appreciate the kind
ness of the ladies representing the Red
Cross. But they were bound in honor,
TO ask them to discontinue their SER
vices when, to have, continued them,
would have operated as an imposition
upon charity.

THE OFFENDING OFFICERS.


Gen. King is quite competent to see
that justice is done to the offending Of
ficers who declared martial law on
Monday night 1t is strange, however
that Gen. King, ia reported interview
with him is correct, declares that
Lieut.. Merriam is innocent. While
this officer was not on duty, he was in
uniform and assumed to act as an Of
ficer of the army. He violated in
most unseemly manner, the rule that
one holding a commission in the army
is bound to TACT like an officer and a
gentleman, However, Gen. King is
fully competent to protect the honor of
the army, and it is to be presumed that
he will do so. Lieut. Wheelock is
said to be connected, more or less, with
the Canal ring fin the State, Of New
York. andI It is due to this Influence
that he hast been able to ldisgrace the
