Departure of the First Grievances Against
Ohicers-High Compliment to Colonel
Thompson's Battaiion-JIm Tillman's
BanefuI Influence at Work Again.
Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.
PANAMA PARK, Fla, September
25.-The First South Carolina has
gone. By the joyous sounds that
came across the highway on Friday
morning, we knew that they had at
last received the long expected orders
to move, and soon, amid many demon
strations Of joy, much cheering and
profanity, they were eagerly making
ready to depart from scenes of recent
toll and hardship, and return to the
homes and dear ones they left over
four months ago in response to their
country's call; but they will not be
welcomed by the people Of South Car
olina as they would had they returned
under different circumstances.
In defense of their desire to be mus
tered out, however, they claim that
they have been made to see a partic-
ularly hard and disagreeable time of it
on account of the incompetent and
blundering officials political appoin-
tees-placed over them; that they
have been ill-equipped, ill-fed and ILL
provided for generally, and that they
volunteered-many of them at person
al sacrifices to themselves-to fight,
and as they consider that the object
for " which they enlisted has been &C.
complished, they should be released.
Their chief grievance, it would ap-
pear, however, is against their own
officers, many of whom they declare
to be not only incompetent and negli-
gent; but Indifferent as to the welfare
of their men. However. true all this
may be, it is no justification for the
serious breach of discipline and bad
precedent they set in signing petition
to be mustered out, and causing the
fair name of the state to blush for
them. 1t is great pity that they
were weak enough to let their griev-
ances overbalance their better judg-
ment; but it is sadde- spectacle still
"that of the blind being led by the
blind"
But whatever their faults, they
proved their willingness to die in de-
fense of their country, and they are

them congratulate themselves on the
disappearance of the silver question.
The question has not died out. 1t is
more burning than ever before. No
one who goes through the western
country could fail to notice this. |
defy the papers who say the silver
issue is exhausted to point out a single
Democratic leader of any consequence
who is not as pronounced in favor OF
the Chicago platform as he was two
years ago, and l am sure that all of us
can recall Democrats who would not
declare in favor of the platform at that
time who are now its consistent ad-
vocates. 1t is ridiculous to say that
the silver issue is dead. 1t was never
Sc marked. Today there is but one
opinion in the party in regard to a
presidential candidate for 1900, and
that is that Mr.. Bryan will again be
the man. As far as my observations
have extended, the party is today
practically unanimous in his support. "

rious consideration the idea of establish
ing a big military camp at Columbia
No definite action has been taken yet
but such a step is deemed advisable
for the reason that cold weather is
rapidly coming on in the north, and il
is thought that few months stay in

better prepare the soldiers for theil
eventual removal to Cuba. Columbis
is pleased with the prospect of having
big camp near her, and there is some
uneasiness for fear the war department

THE COUNTY HOME.

The subject of THE ENQUIRER's pic
torial illustration today is the county
home, located on the Rock Hill road
Just two miles and a half from the
courthouse.
The institution is one, which almost
everybody in the county has heard of
at some time or other; but what it
looks like there are many people who,
until today, have had no definite idea.
The row of buildings in the central
portion of the picture are occupied by
the county's wards. The cottage in
the upper left hand corner is the resi-
dence of the superintendent, and the
building in the lower left hand corner
is the barn.
The buildings in the pauper row are
constructed of brick, are neatly white
washed and are quite comfortable.
The other buildings on the premises
are constructed of wood but every
thing in sight presents Il well-kept,
substantial appearance that is alto
gether creditable to the county.
The most significant circumstance
about the County Home is that al
though it serves as a resort for the
destitute, out of population of about
81, ,000-and it is a well-known fact
that those who 20 there invariably
find humane treatment-the total num-
ber of inmates seldom exceeds 35 or
40, all told.

The War has Caused an Advance in
Prices.

All wool bunting, from which flags
are manufactured, has advanced in
price since the declaration of war
nearly leo per cent. This advance is
on the material not made up, and APP
plies more particularly to the stand
ard grade used by the United States
government, although other qualities
are effected. Flags that sold for $3.50
previous to the war. now sell for 50,
and flags that brought about $3.50
now sell for about 1925. This is also
true of all sizes of all wool bunting
flags. There has also been an adj
vance in the price of cotton bunting,
and flags manufactured from that ma
terial, while printed flags. which are
in great demand in consequence of
the rise, have also advanced in price.
So great is the demand that orders
cannot be filed. Never before was so
many flags displayed in the city. and
it is claimed we are far behind other
cities in this respect There has also
been an enormous demand for tri-col-
ored ribbon. \ prominent dry goods
dealer hays this demand has been
phenomenal. The business done in
flag pins, hat pins, belt pins, etc. has
been great, and it is difficult to sup
ply the demand. Manufacturers can
not fill orders. The same is true of
neckwear in the national colors. Ev-
erything in red, white and blue is
sold at an advance.

We have made Hawaii our ally. We
