PrOhibitiOnists In Convention.

The State Prohibition Convention con-
vones in Columbia this (Thursday) after
noon at eight O'Clock. 1t bids fair to DO
quito a representative body, and will
doubtless nominate n full State tiokot to
DO voted for in tho primary election.
Tho ruling of tho State Democratic
Executive Committee last weoE is taken
as an Indication that tho votos past for
Ii nominees of this convention will be
counted. An amendment of tho consti-
tuition. to carry out this purpose, will
probably be adopted by tho May State
Convention.
1t is not yet cloar that tho votes for
a prohibition, OR any other faction,
could DO counted, so long as tho consti-
tuition of the party romans unchanged,
for each candidate is required to file q
plcdgo that ho is not tho candidate of q
faction, and will not become one. Such
bcing tho language of tho pledge, incor-
porated in tho constitution of tho party,
how could tho Executive Committee
change it 1t has no law-making power.
It's duty is to vCnstrue tho law, wherovor
n case shall como before it on appeal.
1t is patent that tho prohibition sonti-
mont has great strength throughout the
State. 1t is useless to sncor at it as is
the custom of somo. Tho votes of tho
prohibitionists will BIO folt on election
day, and some way will DO found to have
them counted. That much may be taken
for granted. They arc Mother fools nor
demagogucs, but mon who have tho
courage of their convictions and do their
own thinking. Not \ small part of tho
best brain in theS State is found in thejY
ranks,

Textila EGEONttfOn In tho South,

On our first page will DO found n de-
scription of tho new Textile School to be
founded as a permanent department OF
Clemson College. This will add greatly
to tho popularity of Clemson, and enable
it still moro effectively to accomplish the
industrial training which constituted tho
purpose for founding inc institution.
Tho leaders of toxtiie development in
tho South say that the apprentice system
is n thing of tho past, and will nover be
revived. Tho great revolution wrought
by steam and electric machinery in all
branches of mill operations has made
high-gradc technical training an absolute
necessity, and in order to develop eni-
ciont managers of men and machinery,
tho ground work for his training and
education must hereafter be obtained in
industrial or technical schools, in the
safio way that mon are prepared by spe-
cial training to eventually occupy high
positions in law and medicine. Tho ON
ploymcnt Of % boy or man on a special
machine will seldom develop q leader or
manager, without some previous instruc-
ton on general subjects.
1t is q matter of congratulation that
South Carolina is leading tho South, in
manufacturing enterprises, and Just now
sho seoms to be in tho lead in affording
means for thorough training in textile
industry.

ONE OF W. WAYS.

Tho bladder was created for one pur.
pose, namely, n receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form
of disease except by ono Of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action OF
tho kidneys. The second way is from
careless local treatment of othor diseases.
Chief Cause
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid

bles. So tho womb, like the bladder,
was created for n purpose, and if not

Fagluyes from Justice.

In our issue two weeks ago We gave

tive TO the extradition warrants for R.J.

prompted what we wrote. Nothing has

of Habersham county, In attempting un-
lawfully to shield tho acoused, and pre-
vent their appearance here for trial on
the charges preferred against them. The
tenpts to parry the effects of tho blow
dealt them, and to excuse their conduct.
1t is seldom so much ''rot' can be found

be cleared, and his mind freed from

Nevertheless, tho fact romans and
cannot be rubbed out, that tho Lees

With intent to kill by use of pis-
tolls and knives; tho charge preferred
against tho Hits and others 10 for assault
and battery with intent to kill by dis
charging a load Of shot in the back of

arc resorting to all kinds Of tricks and

forego tho delivery of tho Hits, Owens
and Handbook for trial in the Courts of

Tho Presidents Policy.

President McKinloy's message on tho
Spanish-Cuban situation was transmit
ted to Congress last Monday. Uo reviews
at length the condition Of affairs in Cuba,
and closes by advising armed %intorvcn-
ton to put a stop to hostilities, by i'm
posing "cOnstraint' on both c%ontending
parties. lie thus blows both hot and
cold" i'll tho Same breath. Tho uso of
force rs outlined by him would doubt
less result i'll the United States having
to fight both the Spaniards and tho
Cubans Wc would occupy tho position
of a big boy attempting to stop a
fight between two smaller boys who
happen to be pretty equally plGatGncd.
'sSlDaaa big boy goes up, takes each
by the collar, pulls them apart,
gives thcm a slap, and a kick and starts
them humping in opposite directions,
each, however, hcaping roproach on the
head of the would-bc peace-makor.
That is the logic Of tho Presidents po-
Icy, and should it be carried out along
the lines indicated by him, it would be
n clear case of loves labor lost" for the
anathcmas Of both Spain and Cuba would
be called down upon his head. Tho at
tempt 1T this late day to impose "hosti!e
constraint upon both tho parties to the
contest" would simply be adding fuel to
the fire, and result in rendering still
more distressing the already pcrishing
condition Of the rcc~onccntrados. The
insurgents have long since resolved upon
independence or death as their portion,
and they would not accept scryitude any
more readily from us Than from Spain.
II would be far better, in our humble
opinion, simply to recognize the Govern
ment of Cuba, accord her tho rights of
a bclligcrcnt, and lot the matter rest with
tho insurgents to rid their island of
Spanish rule. Even at this late day such
recognition would result in their indie
pendcncc and freedom. This action
should have bccn taken by our Govern
mcnt eighteen months or two years ago.
Tho war would then have been ended ere
this, by the original parties to tho con-
tcst, thousands of lives would have boon
saved, and the present crisis avoided.
Such action still would be better thar
"hOStilc cOnGtraint' in tho manncT pro-
posed. Tho Presidents policy in practi-
cal operation would doubtless be found
to work complete destruction of what
little remains of the subject matter of
tho contest. "Indepcndenco or Death"
is thu motto of the Cubans, and 4 glorious
one it is. They have suffered far moro
from the tyranny OF Spanish rule within
the last ten years han tho American
colonists did when our forcfathcrs do
clarcd their independence. They fought
under inc inspiring exclamation of Pat
rick Henry: "Givc nc liberty or give mo

force him out of tho institution.
a lotter was first scnt to Cantey's ia
thor, asking for his withdrawal, and whom
this failed of effect, tho boys signed a
pledge to resort to %violonce,if necessary,
in oxpolling Cantey.

President McKinloy's Message on the
Cuban Situation.

WASHINGTON, u. c., April 11.-McKin.
to-day. 1t caustioally consumes Spain fol
tho inhuman war OF determination in
Cuba.
In his message tho President strongly
opposes recognition of bolligerency us
inexpediont. He also opposes the recog-
milton Of the independence of Cuba at
this timo, but favors the granting OF
authority for such uso of armed forces of
tho United States as he may deem neccs-
sary to put an end to hostilities and TO
cur n stable government for Cuba.
Ho also asks for III appropriation to be
used for the roliof of such of tho people
as arc still in need. Tho message shows
that Spain horsolf first suggested to this
government tho ~desirability of an armis-
tico and signified in advance her assent,
good offices to secure a like assent from
tho insurgents. This request was denicd.
The Maine incident figures quito prom
monty in tho message, II the PTesi-
dent argues that the wreck 0f ouT baltic
ship in Havana harbor shows coDclusiyely
that Spain is not able to guarantee to the
United States and other nations that
security to their vessels which thoy havo
q right to demand.
The message shows, however, that
Spain, 80 far as can DO done, without
specific action by tho c%ortes, has disa-
vowed any connection with &h0 wreck
ing of tho Maine, and has expressed her
dcep regret and sorrow that the appall-
ing disaster should havo occurred in n
port within her jurisdiction.
The following is the language roferring
to armed intervention:
In Wow of these facts and of these con-
ditions 1 ask Congress to authorize and
empower the President to take measures
to secure Tho full and final termination
If tho hostilities between tho Govern
mont Of Spain and tho people of Cuba
and to secure in tho island tho establish
mont Of a stable government, capable of
maintaining order and observing its in
%tornational obligations, onsuring peace
and tranquility and security to it's citi-
zens as we'll as our own, and to use the
military and naval forces of tho United
States as may BIO necessary for the pur-
poses.
The message was referred to tho For
eign Affairs Committed IN both Houses,
who will report tomorrow. ~
Tho message was disappointing to thos,
who expected tho President to declare i'm
mediate wa)t hut il stronger than the con
seryatjEvcs expected. Those close to til,
