There is re doubt that the Spanish
government is more alarmed than 1t
has ever been before, and is taking
every precaution. There are reasons to
believe that there was a plot to kill
Gen. Lee, and that it was allowed to
come to head by the Spanish detec-
tives, In order that they might get
credit for defeating it.
All sorts of rumors were In circula-
ton yesterday, and there was no trou-
BILE whatever in hearing any kind Of
story and finding a dozen men to
swear to it's truth. The real impress
sion among newspaper men was that
Gen. Lees withdrawal was a shrewd
move, intended to show Spain that the
United States means businass.

WILLIAM E. GLADSTONE DEAD.
The Great English Statesman SINKS
Peacefully to Rest.

On Thursday last, at 5 a. m.,
William E Gladstone, after an
illness of nine months, breathed
his last. The following is a brief
synopsis of his career:-
OfScotch ancestry, he was born
at Liverpool, England, on Dec. 2s'
1909. His father, John Glad
stone, had accumulated a large
fortune in trade, and gave his son
the advantages of a fine education
at Eton and Oxford. In 1881
Gladstone graduated at Oxford,
winning a ''double first" that IS,
leading his class in mathematics
and the classics.
In 1882 he began his political
career, being elected TO Parlia-
ment as a Tory. After this he
steadily rose in power and inilu-
ence till 1915, when he resigned
his office, because he did not like
the attitude of the Government
towards the church. In 1853 he
again entered public life as Chan
cellor of theExchequer, remaining
in office, except for short time,
and steadily growing i'll favor un-
til 1869, when he became Prime
Minister. He remained in this
office up to 1873, when his party
was defeated, and Ire withdrew
from public life. He again became
Prime Minister in 1879, and with
short interruption, remained IN
office until March 3, 1894, when he
finally retired to private lite.
Mr.. Gladstone was warm ad
mirer of Jefferson Davis, and in
1862, delivered panegyrlc on him
in Parliament.
He was offered peerage for
himself or his wife by Queen Vic
toria, but refused the empty honor.
As a statesman, Gladstone stood
without equal among his contem-
porarie>; and his gentle. kindly
nature gained for him the love of
the whole civilized world, and
cnshrined HIM in millions of hearts
as "The Grand Old Man"

DEATH OF COL. BARRON.
Clarendon Loses A Prominent Lawyer
And Valuable Citizen.

Out town was shocked yesterday
(Tuesday), when news came that
Col. B. Presley Barron had died al
his home in Manning on Monday
morning. Up to this time we have
been able to gather bat few,
particulars concerning his death.
except that he had been sick but
a few days, and the end came very
Unexpectedly. It was only last
Tuesday that he left KinGstree
apparently in the full enjoyment
of health and spirits. Following
so quickly upon this comes the III
telligence of his death as a mourn.
full commentary upon the uncer-
tanty of human lite, forcibly I'm
pressing upon us the fact that we
know not what day may bring
forth.
Although a resident of Claren-
don county, Col Barron was ia
miliar figure in this county, having
spent a portion Of his early life
here; and for many years he has
had a law office at Kingstree, where
partner looked after his business
interests. His death is deeply felt
by his many friends in the county,
whose warm and heartfelt SYM a
thy goes out to his bereaved family
in this dark hour of aftlictioN.
About the year 1858, Mr. Ba IRON
came from York county, where he
was born, to Clarendon county,
and for year or two he remained
there engaged IN school teaching.
He then came to this county and
continued teaching near Indian
town, studying law at the same
time. During this time,he mar
ried Miss N A Suowden, a daugh-
ter Of Capt. John Snowden, of In,
diantown.
At the breaking out of the war,
he went to the front in a company
from Indlantown, as 3rd lieutenant,
and during the four years struggle.
he did good service as a gallant
soldier. When the war ended he
formed partnership for the prac
tic of law with Col. j 6 Presley,
of KingStree; and Mr. Barron went
to Manning to take charge of a
branch office at that place After
a short period of married life his
wife died. chlldless. lie married a
second time Miss Alice Wither-
spoon, of this county, who with
seven children survives aim.
AS a lawyer, Mr. Barron always
did a successful practice, and was
widely and favOrably known in
his profession: as man he possess
ed that charm of manner that
gained him many friends and ad-
mirers. A kind an affectiona,e
husband and father, and a consist
ent member of the Presbyterian
church at his home, his death will
be deeply felt IN his town, and
leaves in the hearts of his grief
stricken family and friends a des-
olation which can be healed only
BY Him who makes the dead to live
again.

The Manning Guards are quar-
tered right next to us, and quite
number of Williamsburg boys
are in that company. Besides the
ones | mentioned last week, Mr..
Dan Cooper is now an accepted
member of this command Mr..
Preston Cooper enlisted, but was
rejected on account of weight.
Mr.. Duncan J. Dunlop seemed
determined to enter the army, in
spite of his vouthfulness; so he
returned the other day and enlist
ed with the Manning Guards, hav-
ing grown in age two years since
the previous week, but was again
rejected by the examining officers.
As the Darlington Guards is the
only company at this camp that
has been mustered into service,
our boys are not allowed the privi-
leges that some others enjoy, but
have to live strictly within certain
bounds. Quite a number of the
boys when feeling a little bad,
would get out Of walking sentinel
posts, but now the surgeon decides
who is able to do duty. Then, too,
| if man is unable to do duty, no
pass is allowed him till twenty
four hours after he has returned to
duty.
If a man misses the roll call he
is debarre1 from getting pass for
tour days, and if a man is absent
from drill, he is given double
duty. Our roll calls are at $50
