answer to the same question, were more
emphatic in their replies, one saying:
Il cannot see how it can be avoided" "
Another, in answer to the same ques-

face was as genial and bright as sun

his countenance, his eyes flashed fire,
and when asked when their report

A RECKLESS ATTACK.

Since admiral Dewey demolish

some Of our naval commanders
Seem to be imbued with the idea
that '.any old fleet" can capture a
Spanish position however strongly
it may be fortified. The folly of
this overweening confidence was
we'll ILLUSTRATED in the recent affair
at Cardenas Bay, when two Amer
ican gun-boats of inconsiderable
size and a lilae torpedo boat of
142 tons displacement entered a
hostile harbor after a Spanish
feet, backed up by land batteries,
with the torpedo boat in front!
The difference between daring
courage and fool-hardiness is
eftentimes very slight, and varies
according to the success or failure
of a venture. There seems to be
no necessity whatever in the
United States taking the e hazar-
dous chances, which, although
when they succeed are popularly
regarded as brilliant victories, yet
whose success TO a great extent is
conditioned upon chance. To put
the best face upon the Matter,

I'VE believe that the war with Spain
was started in the interest of the
sugar trust. They want the United
States to annex Cuba, buy up
congress, put Il big tariff on sugar,
and then, having monopoly in its
production, advance the prlc. five or
more cents per pound. That war,
unless it enG.S soon, is going to bank
rupt the South and enslaye our peo-
pie, for the North will reap the Ir Of
its. Wall street will buy up the
government bonds at its own prices,
those trusts and combines will get all
the army contracts, while our South
ern people must do the fighting, raise
three or four cents cotton t. pay off
the War debt, and face the great
danger. We cannot understand why
d Southern statrSm should vote
for war SO longaS there was any loop
hole left for escape, with honor t.
our country. We had Spain badly
Scared and she would have agreed TO
any reasonable terms demanded by
the United States, outside of grant
ing independence to Cuba, and we
had no right or business to meddie
within outside affairs. 1t begins to
look as if We will not have Spain to
fight, bnt that she be lacked by 9TH
er strong European powers. Altady
provisions of all kinds are advancing

Wanted-A Telephone Exchange.

We publish in another column
a letter from Capt. W II kennedy.
of Indiantown, Offering substan-
tial encouragement to the propoS-
ed telephonesline from kingstree
TO RHEIMS end other points. We
hope and believe that this line will
be built in the near future, and
that other lines will follow.
With this progressive step, a
telephone exchange at kingstree
would be next in order. This is a
want that could be filled by dint OF
a small outlay of enterprise and
capital.The advantages that would
arise from such an enterprise are
manifold, and too plainly seen to
require comment. With acentral
Office here, besides the advantages
of quick communication in town:
lines would soon be built connect
ing us with allimportant points in
the county. Lake City, Scranton
Cades, Lanes, Gourdlns, Greeley
vile. and other important points
ought to have telephone connec,
ton with the county seat, and we
believe that once established, lines
from these places would pay a div
idend.
Towns of less importance than
Kingstree have telephone ex-
changes in successful operation.
and there is no reason why one
could not be made to pay here.
We live IN an age of quick
thought and rapid communication;
and if We are to keep abreast with
the march of events, some slight
effort on our part is necessary.

IN 4 HOLE.

The Manning Times and the
Williamsburg Couaty Record are
having quite a wordy war over
the political reco;d of Mr.. Joel +
Brunson, the Prohibition candi-
date Tor Governor.
The Times in speaking Of Mr..
Brunson made this assertion.
The very head of the ticket,
while a consistent advocate OF
prohibition has also been per
sistent seeker of office, till the
hope OF gratifying his ambition
was SO forlorn that he was forced
to give it up To this, The Re-
cord replied.
81 he editor of the Times must
have been misinformed as TO who
Mr.. Brunson IS, for never but
once has he been candidate for
any office, and he was then elected
in the primary, but was left ou'
by the convention which made up
the ticket.
The occasion referred to is the
same one that The Times men
tions, when MIR. Brunson opposed
DR.. Woods for the legislature
from Salem section in Clarendon
county, and Mr.. Brunson was
then the successful competitor
and not DR.. Woods, as The Times
asserts. But perhaps fifteen or
eighteen years affect the memory
Of the pugnacious editor Of The
Times
To this, after about column
reply, The Times makes this ac-
cusation:
sour recollection is that Mr..
Brunson also took considerable
interest in politics in those days,
a nd was quite active in our con-
ventions and at the county exec
utive committee meetings.
He was regarded at that time
as a candidate for "any old thing
and his not having asked for a
vote, and was not voted for. is
no sign that he did nat have his
rods out for the political light
ming to strike. Very few men
who are ambitious for office
make a direct personal request
for vote, but they have friends
who plead most persuasively.
This gentleman admits that he
ran in a preliminary primary in
Salem, but declares he defeated
DR.. Woods and was declared the
choice Of Salem and that, on ac
count of the action Of the eX=ca-
tive committee. he failed TO get
the nomination.
If The editor Of the Times can
produce no more facts than the
mere statement that MIR. Brun-
son "took considerable inleres
and was quite active in county
conventions and executive com
miltee meetings" he is doing MIR.
Brunson an Injustice. Simply
because q man fakes an interest
in county politics, does not make
him a chronic office seeker. 1t
strikes US that the editor of the
Times is in hole and the Record
has him half covered up already.
