Nor Hog Thieves.

A good many years before the
war certain Baptist church in the
Bluegrass had a very aristocratio
old gentleman, the owner of numer-
Gus slaves and many successful run
ming horses, as privileged member
of its congregation. Another mem
Der was a Mr.. L., of whom it was
said and believed that he had way
of acquiring his neighbors' hogs in a
very mysterious manner. Mr.. l..
disliked the aristocratic Captain B.
and lost no opportunity to express
bis horror of a man guilty Of the
cardinal sin of racing horses.
One day at church Mr.. L. was Civ
ing the congregation his views on
religion, and closed his remarks by
saying, mo man who races horses
can enter the kingdom of heaven. I"
After he had finished Captain
B. rose in his dignified way and said,

Some newspapers express as
tonishment th't the Charleston
militia will not 90 outside OF
Charleston to fight as was an
nounced from that city. We see
no reason for surprise. III our
memory is correct only three
men of the Charleston militia
were willing to obey orders dur
ing the Darling'on riot. The ex-
cuSe of the others was that they
might "be called upon to fire upon
their friends" The same excuse
is in order now for Charleston Is
perhaps more friendly to the Span
iards than tothe Darlington riot
ers. The militia might have to
fire upon their Spanish friends il
they leave Charleston.-Abbe-
vile Medium.

Business has already begun to
feel the effects Of war-trom all
sides comes complaints about a
falling off in collections &c. which
can be attributed to nothing else
than the fact that this country Is
now at the beginning Of war
with Spain. What the future
holds in store for us cannot be
ioretold, bur, if the dullness con-
tinues for several months, it will
amount to positive stagnatlon
which will be very disastrous

What Others Say.

The United States government
is in a transition state. II looks
we'll on paper for Congress TO de-
clare that the only object is to
secure a stable and independent
government fer the island of Cuba,
but the ultimate aim of the same
government is the acquisition OF
Cuba. 1t will be an accomplished
fact before the five-year-old boys
are old enough to vote. This
country is gong to wheel in'o
line with England, Russia and
Germany, and when they see a
desirable vineyard they will Sc
cure it although dozen or a
thousand Naboths have to be
clain. When a covctouS people
set their hearts on the possessions
of another, a Jezebel and sons Of
Bellal can always be found ready
to assist in the robbery.-Carolina

1t is suggested that there should
be no political campaign this
year and we think the suggestion
a good one. With war business
will be depressed to a large ex-
tent and our people will be in no
condition to listen to political har-
rangues. Let the candidates an
nounce their platforms of princi
pie and pay the county papers to
print them and save the expense
and WEAKNESS caused by a canvas
of the state. Even if the war
should be brought to a termina-
ton there would be no desire to
have a State campaign. lfindlvl
dual candidates desire to make
speeches let them do so on their
own accounts at such place and
time as the people may desire to
have them.-Newberry Herald
and News.

Now is the time for those fiery
editors, who have been cursing
out congress for not plunging this
country in war with Spain sooner
to show their zeal by marching to

1t is an historical fact that the
United States never engaged in a
war that actual hostilities did not
precede a declaration. In the war
of the Revolution there was no
declaration from either side. In
the war of 1912 several encounters
took place at sea before war was
declared.
The American fleet sailed against
and cleaned out the Algerine
pirates without a declaration OF
war.
In the war with Mexico, the in
vasion of United States territory
and firing on her troops was made
the basis for a declaration OF war.
In 1861 both sides fell to work
without any official mouthing.
Now in our latest war before a
formal declaration we seize'i a
merchant ship and a few hours
later proceeded to give Spain a
blow on the solar pleXus by the
capture Of one Of her war ships
the Alfonzo XII, with a thousand
of her NANCY soldiers.-Green.

The depth OF sincerity in the
chicken eater crusade against the
wlSkey gluttOny was exhibited in
their recent convention in Colum-
bia when they trolted out a lot

but dispenSary men. Jack and

when he had really recovered. We

April is month Of startling
events. Here is the record: April
10, 1915, battle Of Lexington;
April "a, 1916, first engagement
of Mexican war; April y. 1861,
Sumpter fired on; April 13, 1861,
surrendered; April II, 1861, Lin-
coins first call tor troops; April 8,
1865, Lees surrender; April II.
1865, Lincoln assasslnated. That

LESSONS FROM SANTIAGO.
Campaign Shows That Coast Defense'
Are More Effective Than
WarShips.

The military and naval experts say
that several important lessons in ord
nance nnd Notifications are furnished
by the campaign against Santiago. 1t
is pointed out that the long conten-
tions between the relative merits Of
land fortifications and naval ships as
a means of coast defense have received
much light by recent operations. When
Admiral Sampson was chief of the ord
nance bureau Of the navy department
he held that most effective means Of
defending coasts was by means ofwar-
ships rather than coast defenses. 1t
is said, however, that the Spanish de-
fense Of Santiago harbor has demon
strated that coast defenses are even
more effective than warships. The
batteries of MORO castle, Sacopa and
the others. aided by the mining and
torpedoing of the harbor, was effective
in preventing the American feet from
entering the harbor, and this, despite
the fact that the Spanish guns were in
no sense fortification armament. 1t is
said by some Of the experts that If
MORO had possessed the large modern
fortifcation guns, such as those pro-
tecting New York or Boston, 1t would
have been able not only to have defend
ed Santiago but to have done serious
damage to the attacking feet.
