A New Bit Of History.

Col. John P. Thomas, State his
torian, has just unearthed curious
bit of history relative to the roll of a
South Carolina company, G. S. A.,
about which information was asked
for some days ago. Within a few
days Col. Thomas work would have
been closed and his report gotten
ready for the General Assembly, and
the roll came to light just in the nick
Of time. 1t reveals the fact, not gen
orally known, and not referred to in
all Confederate literature, that Vir.
ginia owes at least one company to
South Carolina, q South Carolina COM
pany having served in the 9th Vir-
ginia cavalry, G. s. A.
Lieut.. james A. Griffin, Of Pickens,
S. c., sends the roll to Col. Thomas,
as he was requested to do. It contains
the names Of 81 privates and 10 Off
GERS, commissioned and non-commis-
stoned. There are about IL from
Greenville County, % from Ander-
SON County, and the remaining men
are from Pickens County-.bout 81.
In remitting the roll Lieut.. Griffin
writes to the State historian as fol-
lows:
"This is about as CORE ct a list as
can be had at this day. The old orig
inal roll is SO badly used uo that g
great many Of the names are oblitera-
tod. Hence have to depend upon
memory. think there are some
names from Anderson County missing.
It might be if you were to write to
Mr.. w. A. Hammond, Willistou, Fla,
to send you the Anderson County
mems names, he might think Of some
that are not on my roll. If you see
fit to do SO, please tell him I would
like to get letter from him soon.
Most all Of these men whose names T
give have gone across the river and
resting in the shade of the tfees. If
you had been much longer in address
ing me I would have been there, too.
ANY other information can give,
write me. If you have got correct
roll Of Company II, of the 4th South
Carolina volunteers, you will find
several of our names on the roll, as
we were in that regiment the first ff-
.esn months of tie war.
"Yours truly,
"JAMEs A. GRIFFIN,
Lieutenant Commanding Company
B, 37th Virginia Cavalry"
He adds: "I was in command Of the
company the last three years of the
war. Earle was sick in hospital and
Lieut.. Wallace was captured and never
was with the company.
The officers of Company B, 37th
Virginia cavalry, were: Sandy Earle,
captain; NJ. W. Wallace, first lieuten-
ant; James A. Griffin, second iieuten-

LONDON, April ee.-A dispatch 10 the
Daily Telegraph from Barcelona via
Paris. says:
Grave apprehensions are enter
taincd n the highest government CIR
cles that the issue OF war may be de-
cidcd. not by valor and enthusiasm and
dosged perseverance,, qualities OF which
the Spaniards possess an abundance,
but 10y reserves 81 coal and victuals, OF
which they have made but scanty pro-
vision in Cuba 1t appears that IN
respect OF coal in particular they are
worse off than they have hitherto im-
agined.
THE Spanish government hrmly
believing down to the very last moment
that peace would be preserved through
the intercession OF the pops and the
powers, neglected TO lay in sufficient
provision of coal, despite the repre-
sentations made TO them by one or two
far-seeing naval officers.
BESIDES this, it is believed they never
once inquired of the British or other
neutral governments whether coal
would be regarded as contraband OF
war. The result is said TO be state
of things which may be fraught with
unpleasant surprises and bring hostih-
ties to a premature end.
Those in the secret were anxious TO
overthrow the cabinet on other grounds
before the begin ming of war, for pa
triotic considerations forbade public
discussion of the countrys weak point
on the eve of hostilities. The short
time allowed for the deliberations OF
parliament rendered this intention
difficult of execution, and the liberal
cabinet, which conducted the negotia-
tons. will be allowed to bear the re-
sponsibility for the results during the
conflict This alarming story comes
from an excellent source, quite above
all suspicion even of hostility to the
cabinet.
If, as L fear, events should demon
strate it's truth, the close OF the wal
NAV also be the end not only OF the
liberal government, but of much else
which is infinitely more worthy of re
spect than any political party an'
which enjoys the sympathy of all Eu
rope.
Il hear that extreme depression pre-
walls among the few who are initiate
into this painful secret.

Spring is the Time
When Impurities in the Blood
Should Be Expelled
Amcrlca's Greatest Medicine Is tho
Best Spring Medicine.

In winter months the pcrspiration. so
profuse in summer, almost ceases. This
throws back into the system the impurities
that should have been expelled through
the pores Of the skin. This and other
causes makes the blood impure in spring.
Boils, pimpes, humors and eruptions then
appear or some more serious disease may
take its start. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the
remedy for impure blood in all IT'S forms,
as proved by its marvellous cures of blood
diseases 1t is therefore the medicine for
you to take in the spring. 1t cxpcls all
humors and put the whole system in good
condition for warmer weather.
