TROOPS FOR SOUTH CAROLINA.
-Four Brigades Of Soldiers Camped in
the State.

All doubt as to the disposition Of the
troops in South Carolina is ended by
the order of Gen. Miles. South Caro-
lima will get four brigades and Georgia
ten. The assignments are not proper
toned to the population, size or num-
Der of suitable localities IN the TWO
States, but when we remember Geor-
gia knack of getting the lion S share
Of everything Uncle Sam has to give
we are moved to be thankful that the
disparity is not greater. Columbia,
Greenville. Spartanburg and Summer
Vile will each get 4 brigade. Greenyllle
will be the headquarters of the second
division, second corps, but will not,
like other division headquarters, have
two OF more regiments. We presume
that the selection of the Mountain City
was made because of the nearness Of
Greenville and Spartanburs, the two
points having between them the bulk
of the division. To Columbia Will
come regiments from Rhode Island,
Tennessee and Delaware; to Greenvllle
will 90 regiments from New York,
West Virginia and New jersey; to
Spartanburg regiments from Missouri,
Massachusetts and New York; and to
Summeville regiments from Pennsyl-
vania. Connecticut and Ohio. We are
very well pleased with the assignments
for the State. Here in Columbia We
will have. judging from the numbers Of
the regiments. the first troops raised
in three States-and they ought to con-
stitute the cream.-Columbia State.

IMPREGNABLE FACTS.
Democrats Forced the War; Republi-
cans Managed the ARMY.

No amount Of falsenood, of vitupers-
ton. Of boasting, Of turgid rhetoric on
the part of the Republican organs and
stump speakers can destroy these two
facts: The Democrats forced the war.
The Republicans managed the army.
All the striving of the party Of false
pretenes, all its muddying Of the water
cannot obscure or alter this cold, un-
vanished truth. The Republicans
cannot evade it. The record is against
them.
The Democrats forced the war.
They supported the war with supplies
to conduct it and men to fight its bat
ties. But they did not manage it.
They are not responsible for putting
a corrupt politician with tainted mil
itary record in charge Of it's war de-
partment: nor for the appofntmcnt Of
shoals of inexperienced and ignorant
political hangers-on, who could not
take care Of themselves in private life,
to places in the commissary, quarter
master and medical departments,
where the lives, health and comfort of
thousands of the conntry's bravest and
best depended upon their admintstra-
tions; nor for insuficiency of food,
medicines, surgeons and ambulances on
the battle6elds, nor for crowding
troops in foul cattle ships; nor for
transporting sick and wounded soldiers
in pestilent hospital ships without pure
water, sufficient medicines. attendance
or proper food; nor for the furnishing
of enlisted men with shoddy blankets
and sleazy clothing and pa per-soled
shoes at extortionate prices; nor for the
fever camps: nor for all the other blum
ders and horrors Of AIgerism.
For these things the Democrats are
not to blame. For these things the
people ask from the Repubsicans an

Electrocuteo in Macon.

H. L. Burke, thirty-six years Of age,
conductor on the Consolidated street
car line, Macon, Ca, was electrocuted
Sunday about 10 o'clock p. m. during
the storm. Burke was on car No. IA,
Eienville line. When he reached the
intersection of Munroe street and Wash
ington avenue he found a wire hang
ing interfering with the passing of the
car. He dismounted, and taking one
end, wound it around a telegraph post.
As it was guard wire, it is supposed
Burke thought there was no danger in
the other end. He was warned by the
motorman, but disragarded the warningH
and grasped the wire. Passengers in
the car saw the fatal blue light as the
wire came in contact with the unfortu-
nate mans flesh. He screamed for
help several times, but was unable to
let go. After few seconds he fell.
None of the people on the car were able
TO render assistance, and it was not
until Superintendent Winters came and
cut the wire that the body was exam

ONLY Two Saved.

James Rowe and Joseph Meyers, two
negro sailors who belonged to the
schooner Sarah Z. Palmer, were
brought to Charleston Tuesday from
Edisto island, where they had washed
up on the beach clinging to a plank.
They tell a terrible story Of the wreck
of their vessel in the storm of Sunday
last, seven miles off the Charleston
light ship. The Sarah Z. Palmer,
Capt. Whittier, was four-masted
schooner of Bath, Me. She was bound
from Charlotte Harbor, Fla, to Carta-
ret, n. j., and was caught off this
coast in the West Indian cyclone Of
Sunday. She sprang leak early that
morning when off the Charleston light
ship; and went down in spite Of all her
captain and crew could do to save her.
Capt. Whittier and all the crew, save
Rowe and Meyers, were lost. Those
lost were: Capt. Whittier, First-mate
Briggs, Second-mate Mcdonald, Nor
wegian steward, Pat Haley and seamen
Wallace Stanford and Thomas Leveret.

NO THIRDPRIMARY..
Two Berkeley Candidates to. Fight it
Out in the General Elecion.

That an election should be; enje1n ed
in this state is somewhat Of arovelity.
1t is so unusual that some people are
beginning to believe that every bttsi-
ness of whatever nature or kind is sub
ject to judicial injunction. 1t will
be remembered that during the two
meetings of the State Democratic Ex-
ecutive committee there was contest
between Morrison and Sanders for the
shrievalty of Berkeley county. Sanders
beat Morrison on the face of the returns
and the committee referred the matter
back to the county committee. The
latter stuck 20 Its original decision and
Mr.. Morrison again appealed. The
state committee, thereupon. acting as
it did in ahe senatorial contest from
Sumter. ordered another primary cleo
tion t., be held on the second Tuesday
in Oesober. Mr.. Hawkins K. Jenkins,
representing Mr.. Sanders, who was de-
claredr the nominee, appeared before
the chief justice today on a writ of GER
torari, and the chief justice issued an
order directed TO the State Executive
committee enjoini1g either or their
representatives from holding an elec
ton until the fucther order of the
court. The case is put down for hear
ing on the special docket, but the court
does not meet again until November % %.
The election will have been held by
that time and unless some other action
is taken in the meantime, these two
aspirants for the shrievalty will have to
fight it out in the general election Mr..
Morrison was not represented in the
court. The order is not exactly in the
nature Of an injunction, as such writs
are legally defined, but it practically
amounts to the same thing.-Columbia

The quid of tobacco lodged in his

SMALLPOX in Sumter.

Friday Gov. Fllerbe received tele
gram from DR.. James Evans, chairman
Of the State board of health, saying:
Gases of smallpox and number OF
persons exposed reported from Sumter
county. Shall incur expense Of $50
lating, guarding and treating them not
withstanding appropriation for that
purpose is exhausted" In the absence
of Gov. Ellerbe, Mr.. W. Boyd Evans,
his private secretary, wired DR.. Evans
to use whatever precautlon is necessa-
ry to check the spread Of the disease:
When the whole State was threatened
with the dread disease last winter, DR..
Evans was very aggressive in the en-
deayor to check the Infection, and he
will no doubt soon check the present
outbreak, as he will be aided by his
previous experience in dovetailing law
and medicine together for the protec-
ton of the people.-State.

THE PROMISED SURPRISE
Naval Authorities Place Little Deepen
dence Upon the Rumor-Much Con-
Germ Felt in Relation to the
Safety OF the Oregon.

Washington. April 21.-News came to
the navy department to-day that tend
ed to confirm the newspaper reports
that the formidable Spanish naval force
at st. Vincent, Cape Verde islands. nae
sailed last night for an unknown desti-
nation. Naval experts say that leaving
out of consideration the question of the
relative strength of the personnel, the
Spanish force is at least equal and
probably much superior in some re.
spects to Commodore Schley's fleet. 1t
Is not believed by n naval officers
that the Spanish fleet will undertake to
cross the Atlantic and attack Commo-
dore Schley on his own base. but 1t
would seem to be equally ~impracticable
for the commodore to take his flying
squadron across the Atlantic to the
Spaniards unless he is reinforced.
The threat OF the Spanish newspapers
to give us a surprise in the shape of a
naval visitation does not cause any
particular %uneasiness at the navy de-
partment, and although nothing posi-.
tive is known as to the destination Of
the Spanish squadron, it is stated that
IL has started on its return to Spain,
1000 miles distant from Cape Verde,
thus indicating a purpose to await an
engagement in their own waters. 1t Is
likely that in this event the first port
made will be the Canary islands. dis

1t is not believed that h Spanish
naval commander will be foolish enough
TO run the risk of taking his torpedo
iotilla across the Atlantic. Naval Oh
Gals refuse positively to say whether
| they intend to force an issue by send

| Cuba on a merchant ship conveyed by
a man-of-war. 1t is known that this
plan has been under consideration. but
a suggestion has been made that the

gether by permitting the merchant shir
to land the stores without molestation
and then right afterward seize the
stores for their own use.
