Should the Report be Verified by Govern

Seems Imminent.

Special to EVENING HERALD.
Key West, Fla, Feb. II, 2 p. mn.
W. Weatherford, regular correspondent
for Associated Press, arrived here on the
Olivette from the scene of the wrecked
cruiser Maine. He says divers working
about the battleship's bottom have dis
covered an eight inch percussion hole in
her plate. All proofs of torpedo work
will be removed from the wreck.
There seems to be no doubt now that
the Maine was blown up by a torpedo,
but the government at Washington will
not accept this theory as final until the
divers produce conclusive proof. Should
this be forthcoming war between the
United States and Spain will be ineyit-
able.
Admiral Manterola has summoned Cap
tain Sigsbee to make dispositions.

The Lake City TRAGEDY.

The United States officials have been re-
Gently kept busy making arrests in the
Lake City postofdcs' tragedy The latest
arrests were made in Columbia from the
Manning Guards. Deputy Marshal Sigh
went to the camp one day last week and
with warrants demanded c. D. Joyner, E.
n. Rogers. O.. S. Kelly and Marion NJ.
Clark, all Of them members of the Man
ming Guards. The demand was made
upon Capt. ". G. Davis, who refused to
surrender his men without orders. The
demand was renewed upon Major Thonp-
son, who also refused without orders from
the war department. Deputy Sigh COM
municated by wire with the war depart
ment and on Saturday afternoon Major
Thompson received the necessary orders
and on Sunday he accompanied the men
to Charleston where ne has turned them
over to the United States Marshal. The
young soldiers are not worried over the at-
fair, and they claim they will hafo no
trouble in establishing their inno euce.
Private Clark was originally Manning
boy, the son of Mr.. Willie Clark, who now
lives in Florida.
These men are arrested upon informa-
ton furnished the authorities by two men

For State Senator.

In announcing myself a candidate
for the Office of State Senator think
it proper to define my position on
one of the leading questions now be-
fore the people-Prohibition. l be-
lieve the dispensary law to be the
most practical liquor regulation that
we can have at present and its en-
forcement makes it a temperance
measure, because as long as the
United States government permits
persons to receive liquor from out
side Of the State or''personal use, :"
just so long will prohibition fail to
prohibit.
Ny idea of q true representative Of
the people, is to let the people know
his views on question of such i'm
portance, and if the people whom he
represents differ with him and ma
Jorlty express that difference of opin-
ION at the ballot box, it is the duty
OF said Representative to respect their
wishes. Now, therefore, in order to
learn whether a majority of the vot-
ers favor prohibition, ! will request
the county chairman to provide a
separate box at each precinct and
furnish tickets printed ''Prohibitionn
and "Dispensary." Should the PRO
hibtion'' ticket receive a majority Of
the votes cast, will pledge myself to
vote for and work earnestly for pro-
hibition, feeling that to do otherwise,
| would be misrepresenting the ma
jority. | also pledge if elected, to
make study of the county's needs
and work for its interests.

Farmers Institute.

The Farmers Institute held here last
Saturday was not as well attended as w
had hoped it would be, bCt this is account
ed for by the large attendance at the cam
paign meeting the Wednesday before. Inc
number attending, however, were much
pleased WITH the addresses or rather lee
tures of the gentlemen from Clemson Col
lece Professors Furman, DuPre, PoatS
and Connor each gave their hearers very
valuable information il their respective
lines. Hon. James E. Tindal, one Of the
trustees of Clemson, is heartily interested
in the institution and 1t was mainly
through his efforts that these gentlemen APP
peared before Clarendon audience.
The mechanical department, represented
by Professor Poats, was Of especial inter
est and the magnificent specimens Of wood,
steel and iron work turned out at the col
lece bv the students was alone worth at
tending. In this department o boy can be
fitted for the practical side Of life; his
hands and his head are trained to battle
with leaders of thought and action. One
proof Of this is the number OF Clemson
bows who have secured lucrative and I'M
portant positions ID the service of the gov
ernment since the beginning of hostillties.
There is no doubt about it that Clemson
is doing work no other institution IN the
State IS doing and is being done BY very
few in the South, at the same time It is not
duplicating the work OF the other colleges
as was made very plain by Professor Fur
man. The only thing done at Clemson
which is duplication Of the Citadel is the
military branch and this was explained as
requirement Of the general government
in order to participate in the federal appro-
p-iations.
Professor Connor's talk on chemistry aad
fertilizers was interesting to those who till
the soil and many questions were asked OF
him which gave him better opportunity
to spread ont and show more clearly his
branch Of the institution.
Professor DuPre should have had large
audience Of housewives, because be IS not
only pleasing talker, but a gentleman
whose face indicates . tatherly disposition.
He talked on gardening, fruits and flowers
and the way some piled him with ques-
tons indicates that they have found some
thing to carry home to tell about gardening
which their wives did not know before,
and when the next Institute is held there
will be q good attendance Of ladies. AL
though the crowd was small, we believe the
meeting cid good, and we hope that next
year there will be nothing to conflict.

PAY FOR THE BODIES

Congressman Loud of this state has
volunteered an explanation of his vote
against both the majority and minority
reports Of the house committee on for
eign affairs He chooses to occupy a
unique attitude, in opposition to war
with Spain, scarcely creditable to him
or his party He declares that this coun-
try has no cause for a declaration of
hostilities, the report Of the naval board
estopping it from basng war upon the
Maine incident. Spain" hs reminds us,
every promptly offered full reparation
for the destruction of the vessel" and
he can't quite excuse the government
for not pushing the investigation fur
ther with the view of apprehending the
cuprits and handing them over to the
Madrid authorities for such punishment
as he seems to believe would be inflicted.
This is the view of Hanna and EfKins
and Morton and other distinguished ad-
visers of the president, who have all
along stood for peace at any price; for
a settlement of all international dis
putes upon money basis; for a COM
promise of American honor and dignity
and manhood for cash.
When August Ritchie "struck it rich"
in the Leadville mines he went upon
protracted spree, and in an alteration
with a whilom friend he whipped out
revolver and shot him through the
heart. Turning to the barkeeper of the
saloon in which the tragedy occurred,
he nonchalantly remarked: 1--WE killed
that d-n scoundrel, but I'll pay for the
body!' 1t is with similar sense of re-
sponsibility for the wanton destruction
of noble ship and the murder of nearly
three hundred American sailors, that Mr..
Loud, Republican representative from
California, would approach the settle
ment with Spain.
We hazard little in assuring the coun-
try that he reflects the sentiments of
no considerable number of people of this
state, ot in predicting that his cowardly
and pusillanimous attitude will meet
with fitting rebuke at the hands of his
immediate constituents.

ENFORCE THE ORDINANCE

There Is a city ordinance in force pro-
hibiting boys from jumping on street
cars in motion. 1t is not strictly OBJ
served ordinarily, and just at present,
when there is so much war excitemen.
and extra editions of the newspapers
are so frequent, the law is very gen.
orally ignored by newsboys, who take
appalling risks in the keen competition
of their business. 1t is marvel that
accidents have not already occurred.
The police ought to strictly enforce the
ordinance in question for the protection
of the boys themselves, and a few ar
rests would perhaps instil wholesome
respect for its provisions. 1t seems hard
to stop the boys from boarding the cars
in their efforts to earn living, but i.
can readily be seen that it is a neces-
sary precaution.
The warm evenings see large num-
Der of boys and girls playing on the
street corners during the early hours
Some of them seem to take the keenes
delight in seeing how near they car
come to letting the street cars run ovel
them. Parents who allow this sport are
not exercising proper supervision ovel
their children. Perhaps they do MOI
know the dangerous extent to which thu
practice is carried

PARENTS SHOULD OPPOSE

Every parent in the city should take
an active, antagonistic interest in the
plan to have the school children parade
during the Fiesta celebration. A par
ticpation of that sort in the celebration
would be positive injury to the children
in more ways than one, and particularly
as to the Generalization that would be
wrought in their studies.
AS the Herald has already made clear
it would be necessary to drill the child
rem for several days previous to the pa
rade, taking that much time and atten-
tion from their studies, in addition to
the time lost during Fiesta week. 1t
would be manifestly impossible for the
pupils to make any progress under such
conditions, yet when the examinations
come around no allowances would be
made for the losses incurred, for which
the children themselves would not be in
the least responsible.
The board of education, at it meeting
next Monday night, will make it's final
decision upon the request that the child
rem be allowed to parade; and before
that time it should hear from the fathers
and mothers. The teachers, who know
better than anyone else the bad effects
of such participation in the festival
as is proposed, are practically unani-
nous in their opposition. The Herald
