would, no doubt, do just as we'll. We
believe, too, they would gladly come
home to lead the troops of their own
state. The South Carolinians in the Unit
ed States army exhausted, then the next
thing would be to fall back on the best
material that has been graduated from
the Citadel academy. This war business
is serious work, and should be put in the
hands of men who understand it best.
The soldier, under a genuine military
man, must expect rough work, hard
fighting and plenty Of it; but then he
will be in experienced hands, where his
chances of honor and glory will be treb-
led, and the danger of being butchered
will be reduced to minimum. Again,
we say that in the recommendation OF
Major Darlington to be in command of
the South Carolina troops, Governor Ell
lerbe has done wise thing. There is
policy in it, of course; but the policy
this time consists in splendid display OF
horse sense. What the governor is going
to do next we do not know but we are
not uneasy. His first move is an indica~
ton that subsequent moves will also be
in the right direction.

Spain has total of 5S ships in Cuban
and Porto Rican waters, and the United
States has less than half that number; but
there is no fear on the part Of the author
tiles as to the ability Of the American
ships to destroy all of those of Spain if
they get in the way. But what Spain is
going to do is now the question. Naval
authorities agree that there seems to be
only two practicable courses of action.
One is the desperate plan Of sending all
available ships to Cuba and risking every
thing on the first battle, and the other is
to keep the fleet at the Cape de Verde and
Canary islands and await the arrival of
the Americans. The last plan is consid-
cred to be the wisest; but as to whether
Spain is willing to abandon Cuba to carry
it out is matter Of doubt. 1t is generally
believed that if the fleets now at the Cape
de Verde and Canary islands try to come
to Cuba and make an unsuccessful fight
on the the first round, they will be at the
mercy of the United States ships for want
of supplies. But still il will not be we'll
to lose sight of the fact that we are not
likely to know the intentions of Spain
until she attempts to put them in execu-
ton.

- Much concern was occasioned last
Saturday by report to the effect that the
ocean liner City of Paris, recently char
tered by the United States government
for use as an auxiliary cruiser, had been
captured. The story was that just as the
City of Paris passed the three-mile limit
off Southampton, England, a Spanish
cruiser ran alongside and gathered her in.
It is now certain that the vessel was not
captured at the time stated !; but she will
be in more or less danger until she is safe
in New York harbor, where she will
be due tomorrow. She is one of the
fastest steamers in the world, and the
cruiser that catches her will have to hus-
tie; but including her cargo of war ma
terial, she represents value to the amount
of perhaps $5,OOO,OO0, and she is prize
worth considerable effort on the part of
the Spaniards.

GAVE HIM 95 DAYS.

Will Price, Negro, was before the in
tendant on Monday morning, and on the
four charges of drunk and disorderly, as
sault, using profane language and tress-
pass, was sentenced to the chaingang for
an aggregate of 95 days.
The offense of the Negro was very
grave one, and although under the cir
cumstances it would seem that the pun
ishment is about as heavy as could be in
fcted, it will prove none too severe.
While sitting in his home, last Satur-
day afternoon, shortly before sundown,
Mr.. A. Cody heard some one enter and
begin scraping muddy feet inside the
door. Upon investigation Mr.. Cody
found that his visitor was Negro man,
and asked him what he wanted.
The Negro looked idiotic and made no
reply. Mr.. Cody repeated his question
and then told the fellow to get out. This
he refused to do, and when Mr.. Cody
pushed him, the fellow tried to force his
way further into the house. Finally seiz-
ing a stick nearby, Mr.. Cody struck the
Negro over the head and knocked him
down. When he recovered himself some
what, the Negro retreated toward the
yard, stopped and began cursing. Mr..
Cody had to follow and knock him down
again. Next the fellow went outside the
gate, and picking up rock continued his
swearing until the arrival of Policeman
Love, who took him to the lookup.
There was nobody in the house at the
time except Mr.. Cody and several Of his
daughters. 1t happened only as fortu-
nate circumstances that Mr.. Cody was
at home. Although past 60, and not so
strong as he used to be, the old gentleman
managed the case with much credit.
The Negro claimed that he was drunk
and denied all knowledge of his offense.
He says he came here from Lancaster and
for sometime has been working at the
lumber yard of Messrs. Logan IL Kelar.

The Washington correspondent of
The News and Courier sends his paper
the following, the wisdom of which is
apparent: 1.-THE articles of war are now
being rigidly enforced at the war and
navy department, and information rela-
tive to the movement of troops or the
destination of the battleShips is being
withheld from the public. So strict is the
rule that no confirmation could be OBJ
tanned from the navy department of the
sailing of the fleet from Key West this
morning. Although the movement of
the fleet was telegraphed from Key West
by the special correspondent stationed
there, the navy department positively
refused to make any statement on the
subject. In the war department the same
reticence was observed concerning the
military forces and officers who leave
here. Those who have been communica-
tive do not hesitate to say they are bot
tied up by strict instructions from head
quarters"

THE ENQUIRER most heartily ap-
proves the action of Governor Ellerbe
in recommending the appointment of
Major Ernest A. Darlington as brigadier
general of South Carolina troops. That
the governor has been besieged by mill
tary men all over the state for high posi-
tions for some days past is generally
known. AS to the qualifications Of these
applicants we know nothing, and do not
care to say anything. On general prin-
ciples, however, we will remark that the
inexperienced man who desires position
of this kind is the last man who should
be put in it. He is apt to be moved more
either by vanity or a selfish desire to ad-
vance himself, than by other considera-
tions. When it comes to the crucial test
of brains, frmness, GOODNESS and courage,
where self must be forgotten, such men
are found wanting. Their incapabiity
may often result in the merciless butch
cry Oh IIClI lpClls hh'
really know something about war, would
dread the very idea of being under such
leaders. We have comparatively few
men in the state now who have the quail
tications for real war leadership who are
not rather too old for service. In the alb
sence of actual experience, the next best
thing is thorough military training, and
among other things we have thought all
along that the very best move the govern
or could make, under the circumstan-
ces, would be to officer the state troops,
as far as possible, with South Carolina
West Pointers now in the United States
army. There is Lieutenant John Nj. Jen-
kins, for instance. So far as we know,
he would make better colonel than any
other man in the state. There might be
others better, of course but the chances
arc in favor Of Jenkins. Then there are
other South Carolinians in the army who

to Spartanburg. This has not been def
nitely settled upon, and depends upon the
action of our own people. 1t is true that
negotiations have been pending for some
time, looking to the extension of this road
to Spartanburg, but never without condi-
tions and it is just as well for the people
to understand that the Ohio River and
Charleston railway will not come to Spar
tanburg unless we do our part.
The present experimental line is being
run for the purpose of seeing whether the
right of way can be obtained, and the ex-
tension of that line depends upon two
very important "ifs." The first is if the
right of way can be secured, and if the
people living along the right of way will
appreciate so much the advantage to be
derived from the road that they will be
willing to give it, Second, if the people
of the city of Spartanburg will do their
part, and will shoulder part of the bur-
den and the expense of the line'
81 am thus emphatic in my language
because I do not wish the people to be
deceived, and if there is certainty IN
anything, it is that the Ohio River and
Charleston railway will not be extended
to Spartanburg unless we do our part as
indicated above.
"If any verification should be needed
to this statement all you have to do is tc
ask the men who have been prominen
in this enterprise at both ends of the
| line"
