made regulations for several now famous
resorts. During the past season he has bad
charge of Indian River hotel in Florida; {;
but does not like the Florida hotel busi-

What course national opinion will
take eventually cannot be foretold but
it is related that among all parties and
shades of political opinion in Washing
ton, sentiment is rapidly crystalizing,
not only in favor of the United States
holding Manila; but also every foot OF
territory that may be taken in this war.
The time-honored policy of non-inter-
ference with foreign affairs is on the
decline. and people who used to be OPP
posed to the idea are now advocating
the building of the most powerful navy
in the world.

- Secretary of the Navy Long, on last
sent the following cable to
dewey, Manila: The president, in the
name of the American people, thanks you
and your officers and men for your
achievement and overwhelming victory.
In recognition he has appointed you act
ing admiral, and will recommend vote
of thanks to you by congress" This will
place Dewey above several officers who
are now his superiors, including Samp-
son; but it must not be forgotten that it
is SIMPSONS turn next. If he can find
the Spanish ships he will have larger

contract than Dewey had. Let us see
what he will be able to do.

Great Britain is just itching to get into
this scrimmage; but the circumstances
are such that she can't come in without
is unless France, or some
of the other European powers make a
move. If an unfriendly power moves,
then again will he heard the old Disraeli
war song of 1878, which has since become
historic, and which will now contain ten
times more truth and force than it con-
tained then:
ave don't want to fight, but, by lingo,
if we do,
We've got the ships, we've got the men,
we've got the money too."

- 1t is likely that congress will pass a
bill to indemnify shipowners against loss
OH account of the depredations ofthe Span
iards. The bill will provide that ships,
before sailing from either home or for
eign port, must furnish an authorized
United States official with properly all
thenticated schedule of value of vessel
and cargo, etc., and that in case Of cap
ture by the Spaniards, the government
will make good the loss.

- Rioting continues throughout Spain
in increasing proportions. In some of
the cities the mobs have attacked the
troops, taken possession Of things gener-

Examination of the Soldiers.

Examination OF the Soldiers.
The volunteers who went 10 Colum-
bia last week were, as soon as practi-
cable, turned over to the examining
surgeons, and the ranks of the compa-
nies were decimated as if by battle.
The boys had to pass examination as
to weight, chest measurement, eye
sight, physical imperfections and con,
stitutional diseases, etc. The eXaml-
nation was most rigid, and it was
as difficult to secure an acceptance as
it used to be to secure a rejection.
About 80 per cent. of the boys were
turned down for various reasons. The
Catawba Rifles, of Rock Hill, suffered
less severely than any Of the other
companies. Out Of the whole number
presented for examination, II were ac-
cepted, and % rejected. None of the
companies were left with full quotas,
and it was necessary for all to do adj
ditional recruiting. The understand
ing is that the volunteers will be Or
dered to Chickamauga sometime next
week.

- Cavite is naval station and fortress
in Manila harbor. At last accounts white
flags were hanging over two forts on
Manila bay but Dewey had not bonn
barded the city Of Manila for fear the
Spanish residents would be massacred by
insurgents.

- Senator Tillman has succeeded in
having the free mail deliveries in large

is right about the matter. The large

tai revenues than they should get.

1t is related that after one of the Span
ish ships, at Cavite had lowered her
flag, she fired at the boat full Of Ameri-
cans that was coming to take possession
of her. The Americans withdrew at once
to their ship and in a few minutes filled
the treacherous Spanish vessel so full of
holes that her hull would hardly hold
corn shucks.

-" "The cruiser Columbia" says the
Charleston Post, twas at sea when the
news Of Dewey's great victory was re-
ceived in this country. On Monday she
made port on the New England coast,
and the first news she had of Dewey's
exploit came from clam digger, who
was in a small boat in the bay. AS the
Columbia slipped by, the mud fisherman
stood up in his dory and answering the
call for news, he cried Dewey has licked
HI out of the Spaniards.' Since then
the Columbia's men have probably read
many columns about the Manila victory I;
but they have received no more compre-
hensive account of the battle, than was
given by the Yankee clam digger.

- The attitude Of France toward the
United States just now seems strange
rather than otherwise. The Lafayette,
the other day, undoubtedly carried Span
ish soldiers to Havana. 1t was with the
permission of the United States govern
ment. A French warship applied for
admission to the blockade port last Satur-
day, and it was allowed to 60 in. Before
it went in it held communication with the
Spaniards on shore by means of signals.
This is all suspicious. 1t is known that
French sympathy is strongly with Spain,
and it is believed that one reason for it is
the fact that there are millions of French
capital invested in Spanish railroads.
France is able to interest us rather more
extensively than is Spain; but she had
better not risk too much on those jeop-
ardized railroad securities.

The February number of McClures
Magazine will contain an historical
document of very extraordinary in
terest. 1t is the account of Washing
tons last days from the manuscript
diary of his private secretary, Tobias
Lear. Col. Lear was greatly trust
ed by Washington, was in constant
attendance upon him during his last
ILLNESS, received his dying words and
instructions, and witnessed his
desth. For the closing seems in
Washington's life, this diary is the
only original document. and it has
never been published before in full,
in any popular form. The original
manuscript, indeed, has been gener-
ally supposed to be lost. 1t is how
ever, in the possession of relative
of Mrs. Lear's, who authorizes the

The strength which comes to us
from eating nourishing food is bet
ter than stimulation, because it is
new strength. The health which
belongs to strong body, well nur

lasting. The difference between
Shaker Digestive Cordial and other
medicines is simply that it helps ma

profess to cure sickness, except as
that sickness is a result Of weakness
caused by food not properly digested.
Shaker Digestive Cordial will re-
lieye the pangs of Indigestion, and

The Right Kind of Seeds.

John D. INLAY, GAINESVILLE, Ohio,
favors us with his annual Catalogue
of Seeds and Plants. He IS one of
the very best Seedmen in Ohio, sure
and reliable, sell only what will
grow and produce good fruit and
beautiful flowers. One feature of
his Catalogue is that seeds are priced
by the ounce, pound, pint and quart,
thus stating just how many each
packet contains, which we think is
quite important, as a packet may
contain half dozen seeds or half
pound. If you are thinking of
making garden, by all means get
his Catalogue and make at least
trial of his seed.

Early Life in Logan.
Publish ed by reluast.1

ltGDiiSi'tu 'N ie'iuSSb.I
+ The following Renaissance of VIM.
Alexander, whose death was announ-
ced in the SENTINEL. last week, will
renew old memories with many of
our readers.
Mr.. EdItor, Dear Sir: | here give
you short history of my early life
and connection in Logan, in the first
years of the towns existences. | was
born in Lancaster, May Sth, 1918.
Ny parents moved to Logan in 1922.
| was citizen of that place uutil
1915, so that you see | grew up with
the town from its infancy. Logan at
that time was almost wilderness,
there being but II houses in the
town. | think that | am the only
person now living that was citizen
of Logan in 1922, except it should
be one or two members of the Bowen
family; if there are any others [
would he glad very much to hear
from them either by letter or through
the colums of your valuable paper.
l knew much of the people of Logan
in those early times, and am probably
the only person living that has such
personal acquaintance with the early
history of Logan aud Hooking county.
| send you with this a plat of Logan
drawn in 1922, which may be of in-
terest to you. 1t was then very
small place then in comparison with
it now. There was no regular streets
then; more than two-thirds of Main
street WAS grown pwith hazel bushes
with only path through it. Very
few wagons travelled through it at
that time. | would like to write |
long history of Logan at that time
but | am in my eightieth Year and
so paralyzed that lean not write much.
Uutil 1926 there were only three of
us boys in town, namely: Samuel
Wallis, William Gallagher and my
self. In the latter part of 1923 we
had Joe Rochester added to our num-
Der. You will see by the plat that
Hunter street on the north, First
street on the south, Walnut street on
the east and High street on the west
were the boundaries of Logan at this
time. Outside of this, just paths
run through the brush. You can
take the plat and some time write
description of the village at this early
date.
Concerning my life and politics;
IN 1910 was the first Democratic pres
dent | voted for, and have voted
he straight Democratic ticket ever
'ince. Every dollar l ever earned or
spent in my life was in Hooking
county, and politically 1 wish to ask
'ur "gold bug" friends; how does it
come all of our land was bought with
silver in an early day; how does it
ZONE that all our taxes were pals in
'ilver, all our LABOR paid in silver,
Ind when we earned a dollar we had
me hundred cents, and bonds were
'aid in silver, and now Republicans
nave changed it so that we must take
money that the bond holder won't
axe, therefore lowering its value.
want gold and silver equal as 1t was
n those happy days, both dollars
worth 100 certs.
