WARM SULPHUR SPRINGS. Va.
July 81, 1898.
One of the most charming features of
life at the Warm Springs is the absence of
the invalid atmosphere. We drink to Aes-
culapius in the exhilarating waters of the
sulphur springs. but, praised be the gods!
we do not compare symptoms.
If the unwritten law of the place had not
set its inexorable decree against sick-roorn
grumbling we should have been shamed
into silence this week by the unconscious
-effacement of one of our wounded SOL
diers from Santiago Lieutenant Sorey of
the 10th Infantry Regulars, who was shot
three times in the second days fight before
Santiago has been with US.
On Sunday during divine service in the
little Presbyterian church just without the
grounds he entered. Half hour after
Davis cottage surrounded by men, women
and children eager to hear details of the
fighting in Cuba and to grasp the hand of
of one Of soldiers. He said:
The privates are the heroes. l cannot
say half enough about the men behind the
guns the priyates, who made a joke of
every privation and whose pluck, ,endur-
ance and resistless daring are beyond
praise. 1t will be a beautiful thing in my
life always that such men fought under
me and with me-"
OF the Associated Press Lieutenant Sor-
ley spoke with enthusiasm.
They are a splendid lot of fellows and
they did everything for US. Every mail IA
cility at their disposal they placed at ours
far they could. Nothing was too
much trouble. and our army in Cuba loves
them to a man..
Though it is little more than the middle
OF July we already number more than
two hundred, and there is scarcely va
cancy for August
Mrs. J. c. Breckenridge and family have
taken cottage here for the season and
owing to deep mourning and General Breck-
inrldge's absence in Cuba, are declining all
invitations. A delicious birthday cake and
candles celebrated a family birthday today

When 1 asked Miss Jennings about the
condition of the transport Seneca. on which
she came from Cuba, she manifested some
reticence.
THE vessel was never intended for the
use of sick and wounded" Miss Jennings
said. You remember now they built up
Gets or hunks for the men to sleep in the
hold when the troops We're transported?
Well, the stencil there was frightfuL
I'VE had no bandages on the Seneca and
no surgical Instruments. Some Of the ply

kEew some OF the men needed surgical
treatment, but they. We're powerless to do
anything because of the absence Of In
struments. It's miracle that there were
no deaths on board the vessel on our trip
up
Captain Decker did everything in his
power to give me assistance and make the
wounded men comfortable. There was not
enough water; there was no ice on the
transport, and no medicine except Quinine.
We came away in a great hurry, and
only had time to rush 10 the State of Texas
and gather UP a few bandages and medi-
cines that knew would be needed.
In addition to the foulness Of the afr,
the decks were in a dirty, a filthy state.
1t was not a proper transport for sick or
wounded men by any means. 1t does not
seem to me that there has been any eX-
aggeration in the reports about the Sene-
ca s condition"

DO NOT PLAY WITH FIRE.

It is time for wise counsel, saga
oious craftsmanship and lofty patriot
ism to achieve their perfect work, not
for fools to play with fire.-Philadet-
phia Record.
Without question there have been
strained relations between the United
States and Spain for some weeks. But
with equal candor it must be ad
mitted that certain sensational news
papers, whose voluminous proportions
have swept beyond the boundary lines
OF management BY their owners, have
greatly and unduly magnifed every
thing they could learn and many
things they have not been able to
learn. And if we do not have war it
will not be the fault OF certain news
papers OF the "yelIow journal" kind
and their correspondents.
War is too serious matter to be trl-
fled with at the expense of so much
anxiety and nerve-waste as have taxed
the people of this nation for the past
thirty days.
At this writing the effort both on
the mart of the United States and Spain
seems to be to avert war it possible ;
and we believe if the wise and more
conservative counsel can prevail there
will be no war at all. We see no reason
why all these matters may not be set
tied without any hostility. They
ought to be SO settled, and the world
be spared the spectacle and horrors of
war between this country and Spain.
THE COMMONWEALTH has not believed
at all there would be war, and we say
now that if there should be 1t will be
inexcusable in both nations.

Your friend,

THE COMMONWEALTH received the
foregoing letter from one of its best
friends and staunchest supporters few
days ago. We give the letter to our
readers in order that they may realize
some things which we have to realize
concerning the appointing of colored
people to most of the postoffices in this
county. And while we think our
friend is carrying the matter too far, it
shows how many OF our people feel
about such matters. With colored
postmasters in this county at Littleton,
Weldon. Halifax, Tlllery, Aurelian
Springs, Brinkleyville and perhaps
some other points already. it is no
wonder that our white people are be-
ginning to feel objections to snch pro-
ceedings.
And further, before we received the
letter referred to good friend and
subscriber who gets his paper from the
Scotland Neck postofice, told us that
when his postmaster is colored man
he shall have to stop taking The CON-
MONWEALTH.
While we say we think this is carry
Ing the matter too far, perhaps, we be-
lieve that the public ought to know
about it and we have therefore stated
1t just as it 10.
From this state OF affairs THE CON-
MoNwEALTH is justified in its own In
terest, if for nothing else, in protesting
against the appointment of 10 many
colored postmasters.

ABOUT SUNDAY SCHOOLS.

A subscriber to THE COMMONWEALTH
writes 70 us calling attention to the
great power in the Sunday-schools for
good to humanity. He mentions, and
properly so, the effect that the Sunday
schools of the time are having upon
literature that is in fact literature of
the Sunday-school and asks if we can
not find a corner in THE COMMON
WEALTH for printing the international
Sunday-school lessons for the following
Sunday, and other things relative to
the Sunday-schools. He says this
would be opportune in these columns
because the paper is regarded so clean
that no christian parents ARE afraid
for the paper to fall into the hands of the
children.
We thank our good friend for his
kind words and timely suggestions !;
and take this opportunity of saying
that we have had it in mind for
some time to put some Sunday
school feature into these columns lust
as soon as our income from the paper
will justify. The Sunday-school les
sons are becoming distinct feature
in secular papers in many places al
ready.

CONGRESS- DEMANDS VAR.

The latest news from Washington Is
that Tuesdays session of Congress IN
dictated strong war feeling in both
branches. Resolutions we're offered in
the Senate and in the House declaring
war against Spain, and declaring the
belligerency of Cuba, and practically
demanding the relief of the suffering
In Cuba.
President Mckinley, however, does
not look at things as Congress does and
is doing all he can to avert war.
THE COMMONWEALTH does not be-
lieve in "crouching and covering like
belabored hound" before anyone but
we do believe that every possible alter
native ought to be exhausted before we
resort to the awful arbltrament of arms.
It is one thing for fat and welI-fed SEN
ators and Congressman to eloquently
crate on national honor and all that
but quite another thing for the soldiers
who have to face the belchlng of can
non and bear the howlings OF the war
dogs of destruction.
In this advanced age of intelligence
and civilization all questions, national
and international, ought to be settled
without war.
We do not need war we ought not
to have war and we hope the wisdom
of President Mckinley will be such as
to make Congress behave itself and
remain cool until things can be annie
ably settled without the horrors of war.
