GENERAL sHAFrER.

Last week communication from al.
most everyone of the subordinate COM
manding officers of the officers of the
army at Santiago, including such officers
as Generals Wheeler, Lawton, Kent,
Cbaffee and others was sent to the sec
retary of war, asking that the army there
be sent north forthwith on account ofthe
large number of sick, and the dangers
from yellow fever in the future. Col.
Rooseveldt also sent in similar letter
on his own account. These letters are
remarkable in many respects, as it really
in military circles, is almost without pre-
cedent, and as matter of fact is infer.
entially, serious criticism on the con-
duct of the war department itself and
particularly on General Shafter COM
manding at Santiago. Such communi-
cations are supposed to come through or
made by the commanding officer alone.
There has been besides this, some let
tiers published from correspondents, at
the time of the attack and fighting at
Santiago, which made some pretty broad
statements as to the short comings of
Shafter; to the effect that it was the men
and officers at the front who won the
fight, and that Shafter was too ill and
too far away in the rear to be of any beni-
fit. Then it seems to be pretty we'll set
tied in the public mind that the embarka-
ton of the army from Tampa was ac-
companied by succession of bungles
and mismanagement, which at least
showed that somebody was to blame.
However the letter of the general Of
ficers has had the effect intended by
them and the army will be removed
north at once, but it will be in conse-
quence of their urgent request, and not
of any publically known request of Cen
eral Shafter. Perhaps Shafter is all right
and others are to blame for the evident
mistakes and bungles in the Santiago
campaign, but Shafter is the commander
and responsible-he and Alger.

Governor Frank A. Briggs died at his

record Of how many votes were We E ca cast; u by ];
either party. 4th. This year the, i, per: 6
ties named combine as independent
Democrats" and will certify one Tssiest .ol
candidates. Queries Did the inde.
pendents cast s per cent of the vote last
election? Did the democrats cast s per
cent? Did the present independent dem
ocratic party exist two years ago7 is
there any independent democrat :''party''
now? Ifso have they any platform Of
principles that anybody has seen?
Another curious question arises from
these, as, if it is so hard Under the law
for two old parties to be ''born again."
how would a boni-fide new party, il such
should be formed, ever get on the BALLOT
Its first candidates would necessarily ap-
pear as by petition and not as party can
didates, and no matter how large the
vote cast, how could it ever afterward
show that as ia party" it had cast five
per cent Of the vote at a previous elec-
ton?
The fact is, that in order to have sue.
cessful and impartial Australian ballot,
the law will have to go back to the prim-
aries. The Australian ballot was the
outgrowth of the Australian and Cana
dian systems denomination, but does not
fit we'll on our system, or rather want oi
system, in nominations. Under Ameri.
can ideas, a man may vote for whom he
pleases without reference to party O,
other nominations, and nominations car
be made in various ways, but in the Brit.
ish colonies, the nominations are made
IN only one way and the voter can only
vote for the regular nominees, and as a
rule only two or three names appear or
the ballot, as the election for different Of
fees come at different dates. Such a
thing as general election with a bal
lot of hundred or so names, lis unknown
across the border.

Quite an enjoyable day was

was tempered by bountiful sup
ply of ice lemonade. At one

from their various amusements to
a table laden with every thing the
good ladies could devise. To a
casual observer, during the AFTER
noon, Cupid seemed to be very
busy with the affairs of the lads

Mrs. George c. Pittman Passes
Peacefully Away.

On Friday July l, at 6 p. m.,
Mrs. George c Pittman, who had
been suffering for more than three
weeks with typho-malarial fever,
breathed her last. Mrs. Pittman
is daughter of our County Treas
urer, MIR. r d Rollins, and the
tidings of her death will carry sad
ness and sorrow into the hearts of
many people throughout the coun
ty. On the 9th day of April, 1898,
she was happily married to the
4ev. A E G Pittman, formerly OF
Ranert N g but now ofthis county.
During their brief welded life they
seemed devoted to each other.
Each heart was knitted to the 9th
er in love and swelled with joy In
anticipation Of future happiness
and a long life; but alas! their
bright hopes and joys have van
ished. Death has entered the
homes, and the brightness, and
sunshine which once abode their
have been replaced by sorrow and
gloom. Mrs Pittman was a lady
of many fine parts. Cultured and
refined, pleasant and affable in
her relations with those she met,
she easily won their respect and
admiration.
A lady of amiable disposition
and of strong Christian character,
she will be missed in her home,
aer community and her church.
The bereaved husband and rel
atives have the tenderest sympa-
thy of the RECORD.

earnestly, however, as if the Court

farmers who were present seemed
to be much interested. Some of

were horticulture, agricultural

Columbia, s. g., July 2. 1898.
At last, after nearly two months
of patient waiting, Col. Thompson's
Battalion has been armed and
equipped. The uniforms were dis.
tributed several weeks ago and to-
day the guns, ETC., were given the
men. The equipments of a SOL
der consist. of more articles than
the average man would think
necessary, and it crowds tent
feet square to put into it tour
equipped United States soldiers.
There is some talk of Lieut.. Col.
Thompson taking his Battalion out
into the City for street parade
Monday, July 4th. Some time ago
the Battalion was taken to the
City and the parade conducted by
Col. Thompsos.
There was considerable stir in
camp the other morning when the
boys heard that deputy United
States marshal had been into the
camp and tried to arrest four Young
mel, who are charged with being
implicated in the lynching of Post
master Bake:, of Lake City, last
February. The marshal went TO
Capt. Davis, of Co. d. and demans
ded the men, but Capt Davis re-
fused unless ordered 10 do so by
Col. Thompson. The marshal
went to Col. Thompson, who not
only refused TO allow the men to
be carried off, but "hustled" the
marshal out of the camp, and told
him that when he had instructions
from the Secretary of War to re
lease the men he would do so. l
have seen the accused young men
and they all seem perfectly indit'
ferent regarding the probability Of
being arrested as they are sure
they can easily establish their in
nocence.
BY order of the surgeon every
tent IN the camp was moved this
week about ten feet from where
they were then standing. Within
a remarkably short time after the
order had been received all the
tents had been removed and the
new streets graded and cleaned off.
When 1t is remembered that we
are in the woods, it can be readily
seen that it is no easy matter TO
pitch tents for an entire Battalion
of soldiers and clear up the streets.
Every little stump is dug up and
not a blade of grass is left stand

The recruiting officers are send
ling in recruits almost daily now,
and it will be but a short while
before the new Regiment is CON-
pleted, lfthe officers keep on get

probably visit Williamsburg coun-
lty in a week OF two. A local
physician will be appointed to ex-
anime the recruits and they will
be mustered into service before
leaving their homes.
There is very little sickness
among the boys now. Only three
or four men are in the hospital
The boys are still looking for
