The News and Courier in ad7ocat-
ing anybody to beat Elierbe, was IN
worthy of the only morning daily
published iu Charleston. The peo-
pie like good straight fighting and
they despise shifting, whining spite
work. The News and Courier has
done more to encourage the violation
of the dispenssry law than any other
agency this side of the lower regions
and its editorials the past few days,
should have been regarded by the
people with "get-thee-behind me-
Satan" scorn.
The conduct of that sheet has been
such sto give those who desire to
have peace much trouble in keeping
the faction lines from being drawn II
the next election, and mark what We
say, the Conservatives will either re-
pudiate the News and Courier, or the
majority will repudiste the Conserva'
tives for not being sincere in thell
professions Of peace. AS far as We
are concerned we know that it is the
desire of many Conservatives to ce'
ment the two factions, but there Il
an element among them who thrive
on strife and bitterness and they vii
have it not. The News and Cou,le1
belongs to this element, take the
election of 1894, did it not encourage
the candidacy OF Sampson Pope? Die
it not give quasi-support to Mchln-
lev against William Jennings Bryan:
Has it not been the apologist for the
Chicco's, and other notorious bllnc
tiger creatures? Then why shoulc
the people listen at its evil teachings
any longer. AS news paper we re
gard it first class but its editorial pol
icy could not be worse if Old NicE
himself was sitting at the tripod.

JOHN KEATS.

s Poets Gentle Life That Was Term:zsss
ed All Too Soon.
In the days of Keats, Hampstead and
Highsate were still capable Of having
an individuality Of their own and Of
teeming with interesting associations
Part of their celebrity arises from those
associations thus formed. Leigh Hunt,
visiting those scenes before his death,
would point to the wooden seat where
be and Keats or he and Shelley sat
when such q poem was recited or to the
path through the fields where Coleridge
took leave of him and Charles Lamb,
who would stutter some witticism at
parting.
John Keats was born in Moorsfeld,
London, 1895, and at the age Of l5 was
left an orphan, when he entered upon 3
five years apprenticeship in surgeon
apothecary shop at Edmonton. From
his youth he showed a passion for music
and poetry and spent all his leisure mo-
ments in poring over books. After read
ing "The Faerie Queene" he would talk
of nothing but Speuser. He learned
whole passages by heart, which he
would repeat and dwell upon with &C.
stasies Of delight. His first poetical COM
position, written at the age Of II, was
entitled "In Imitation Of Spenser.
From that time it seemed that Keats
lived only to read poetry and to write
it. He luxuriated in tie thoughts OF
poets, talked about them and read them
to his friends.
Before Keats apprenticeship was
over it was evident that he would not
persevere in becoming surgeon. At 20
he entered a hospital as student, but
soon gave it up and found more cor
genial society with Leigh Hunt, Shell
ley, Goodwin, Hayden and others.
Keats signalized his accession to this
literary group by publishing in 1877 a
small volume of poems. Hunt describes
him at this time as being under medium
height, with shoulders very broad for
his size. His face, strongly cut, yet deli
cately mobile, denoted determination
and sensitiveness. His entire expression
was of eager power, and he plainly
showed his emotions Wordsworth
alone he seemed to look upon as a sub
Unity among contemporary poets.
In 1877 he left London to lead a
quiet, thoughtful and busy life on the
isle of Wight, returning year later
with four booksof his Endymion " com
pleted. II 1920 he was seized with tie
fatal malady, the knowledge Of which
had been his fearful secret fer some
years. After few months, during which
he seemed partly to fight with death as
one to whom life was precious and part
ly to long to die as one who had nothing
to live for, he was taken to Italy anc
there breathed bis last at Rome, FeEru
airy, 1921, at the age Of 25.
| He had wished for "ten years Of po'
etc life. - but not half that term lac
been allowed him. Crowded into III:
short life was much Of interest with nj:
ambitions, his high ideals anG his tai
ents, and had he lived the ordinary age
of man many think that he would have
been one of the greatest poets--Ex
| change.

The smoke Of political battle has
cleared away and the people will moi
be pestered with candidates again fol-
some time. AS far as Clarendon is
concerned We have had a campaign
conducted in an ideal manner. Al
of the candidates appreciated the
peoples wishes in wanting a clean
contest and they all so conducted
themselves as to win the appreciation
of the masses. With the exception
of some silly reports started for inlu'
rious effect between the two prlma'
ries We actually know OF nothing tc
detract from the conduct OF the cam
paign, and these reports we are sure
were not put in circulation with the
consent of any of the candidates
There are some people who to carry
out purpose will use fair means
but rather than be defeated, fou.
means will be resorted to by them
and it is this class who started little
petty and silly reports about capdi'
dates.
The primary Of 1898 is over and
we sincerely hope that those who
were entrusted with Legislative hon
ors will not wait until they get to Co,
lumbia to ascertain what is needed
but that they will begin at once tc
investigate the county's needs and
prepare themselves for the task of Sc,
curing such legislation as will inure
to the benefit OF the people. There
is every reason to believe, from the
makeup Of the next General Assem-,
bly,, the new material will devote
much tinkering with liquor legisla.

plished or not, lots Of time will be
lost in speech-naking. Now, We
hope our delegation will do little

will come to the court house and con
fer with the county officials, look over

Our Trouble " ith Spain Considered War
for Humanity.
Shanghai. May 24.-The crisis between
the United State and Spain Is arousing
exceptional interest in the great cities
in China. Hong Kong, Shanghai and
Tien-Tsin being the foremost CONNER
c,al centers are much aroused. There is
practical unsnimity Of feeling on the
part Of leading Chinese, British and
American residents. All seem TO unite
In the belief that IL is a holy war-a
war Of humanity. II is understood, how
ever, that since the visit of Prince Hen
ry of Prussia the Germans have ex-
pressed themselves as decidedly in
sympathy with Spain. The attitude OF
China is voiced by the North China
Daily News, which says editorially:
There is popular belief, founded OF
experience. that the hour will discover
the man. 1t is very satisfactory tc
know that so far President Mckinley
has admirably undergone the ordeal. He
has not been hurried by the jingoes, mol
has he allowed himself to be controlled
by the peace at-any-price capitalists
afraid Of a fall In stocks and a suspen.
sion Of gold shipments. His course
throughout the dispute with Spain has
been calm. temperate and dignifled
Throughout he has borne himself as tht
chief magistrate Of a great nation; ant

Of the Britishers all over the world, anC
with the approval Of practically tht
whole people of the United States norti

But" he added, "in face Of the Ameri-

must not show consideration for them"
Continuing, the speaker protested
