PROHIBITION WILL PROHIBIT
Rev, George n, Pooser Gives His
Views on the Subject.

The sails Of liquor as beverage,
whether by bar-room or dispensary
means to make money, and to make
drunkards; and We dispute the right
Of the State to do the one or the
other. Vast sums of money have
been wrung out of the people of
South Carolina by the nefarious IL
quor traffic, and doubtless thou
sands of her citizens ill drunkards'
graves. 1t is time to put u stop to
the awful traffic. To this end let
all Of our ministers preach on prohi-
bition between now and the primary
election. and let our men, women aud
children join in the crusade against
the liquor traffic in South Carolina,
and for prohibition. Every home in
che State is In danger from liquor

Concerning the War.

June 90: The army Of invasion
has al last landed upon Cuban soil
and will begin the march on San
tiago at once.
June 24: The first serious land
engagement of the war took place
TO day wheI. an American force Of
1000 men, a part OF Skaters army,
Was ambuscaded by Spanish ad-
vance column OF 2000 men. For
an hour the conflict ragged, when
Il block house which sheltered the
SplniardS, WAS captured, AMI they
fled into Santiago. five miles away.
nosevelt's Rough Riders performed
prodigies of valor. The latest re-
port put the American loss at 16
men killed and 60 wounded and
missing. The Spanish loss has not
been definitly ascertained, thou gh
80 dead bodies have already been
found, and it is believed that a
good many more were killed and
wounded.
June 26: The American forces
are now within four miles of San
tiago, andGeneralS Shafter haslanded
$1,000 men. Two hives We're lost
in the debarkation of the troop;
from the transports.
June 81: In the opinion Of the
War Department it is now expe-
dient to send fleet across the
Atlantic to bombari Spanish
ports. With this end in view on
July 1, Commodore Watson will
set sail with the following ships
forming his squadron: battle ships
Iowa and Oregon. flagship New
ARK cruisers Yosemite, Yankee, and
Dixie, and colliers Scendia, Alex
an1er and Alarenda.

us we'll As grown up men and We
men.
Let rs elect full set of officers
and legislators. The latter to give
us prohibitory law against liquor,
the former to enforce it after it has
been enacted. Then let every loyal
.citizen in the State set to work to see
that prohibition in South Carolina
prohibits.
Many people seem to be in mortal
dread of "blind tigers" if we get
prohibition. Well, we nave them
now under the dispensary system.
But fully believe, Mr.. Editor, that
many a man is running a blind
tiger now because he sees and knows
that the State is selling liquor to
make money out of it. Only let the
State come ont of the business and
wash her hands of this great evil,
and no doubt there would be fewer
blind tigers than there are now.
Let the grand old Palmetto State
say to those engaged in the business
"Boys, let's quit; this ching is wrong;
it is sin, it is curse to us as a
people" and no doubt many who are
now selling it would stop doing SO,
But if any persist in running blind
tigers, let the sheriffs and other law
officers be required and charged with
the duty of having the law duly en-
forced, just as in any other case
coming under their Knowledge and
jurisdiction. We might heve trou-
ble for time, but believe that
our people would come into it, and
prohibition would surely prohibit in
old South Carolina.

No MARCHING ORDERS YET
Continued from first page. :


AS usual the company went on
an eight mile march to a mill pond
this morning and while returning
Private ilbert called me to him
and SAID he was i'll, asking per-
mission to fan out. OF course he
was allowed TO do so, and he and
| walked slowly along behind the
company. When about d mile
from csmp, Lieut.. Mccullough
halted the company and waited
for us to catch up, Gilbert then
took his place in line and marched
along, talking in jocular way
with his comrades, until we got to
about ten yards from the cook tent.
when, suddenly, he fell upon his
face, water and other restoratives
were applied, but after two or
three gasps, the poor fellow ex-
pired.
The body was tenderly cared for
and dressed in full military uni
form by his comrades. The funeral
will take place at daylight tomor
row. The funeral will be of a mil
itary character, the whole Battal-
ion escorting the remains to the
cemetary, and a salute will be fir
ed over the grave in accordance
with military law.

Government Seed Testing.

The act of Congress making ap.
propriations for the Department
of A Agricullural for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1899, under The
heading Botanical Investigations
and Experiments, Division of Bot
any," contains the following
clause:
The Secretary of Agricultural
is hereby authorized to purchase
samples Of seed in open market
test same and when found not up
to the standard he may, at his
discretion, publish the results Of
these tests, together with the
names ofthe seedsmen by whom
the seeds were sold.
The purchase of seeds for the
tests authorized under this act
will begin July l, 1898. 1t will
be the aim Of the Department CT
Agricultural in carrying out this
law to put a stop to the sale Of
seed 50 poor as to make probable
positive injury and loss to the
purchaser, thus giving protection
on the one hand to the farmer and
gardener and on the other hand to
the honorable scotsman and SEED
dealer.
Further information, including
a table of the standards Of purity
and termination and a list of the
most injurious seeds likely to
occur in commercial seed, may be
obtained from the Department
upon application.

PROHIBITION
DEP PARTNIEN@T


TO The Editor of The News and
Courier: | beg space to notice
briefly the communication OF your
Statesburg correspondent in ye>-
tcrday's News and Courier, so far
as it refers TO Mr.. Joel L BrunSon
and the Prohibition movement.
To those who best know Mr.. Brun
son his non attendance at the State
campaign meetings Is easily un-
derstood, and it becomes an act OF
simple justice to a pure and able
champion of a great principle 20
turn, by the shield of truth, the
darts of ridicule which may be
hurled at him.
We of South Carolina are SO
dominated by professional polite
ians and Office seekers that it seems
impossible TO believe that there
can be q candidate who represents
principle by which he Is ready
to stand or fall; who will fight for
its success, when personal prefer
ence is disregarded, personal inter,
est sacrificed.
Mr.. Brunson has been a lifelong
Prohibilionist, and has done more
hard work for temperance than
any man of this generation in our
State. 1t has been labor Of love,
without hope of reward, except
the approval of CO nscien e and
the "God bless you of many he
has helped out of the liberty OF
>drunkenness(?) into the Calling
slavery of sobriety.
When the Prohibitionists met
in Convention Mr.. Brunson cen
sented to become their Gubernat-
orial candidate-contrary 10 per
sonal inclination-at great sac
rifce of personal interests.
An execu tivess committee was
chosen to conduct the campaign.
Beyond that they were not author
ized to Go or undo anything.
When the State Democratic ex
ecutive committee so unfairly
made its mastery stroke in hold
ing that the suggestions" of the
Convention could not enter the
primary except as individuals, the
Prohibition committee declared
their candidates withdrawn, and
they must go int the scramble rep
resenting nothing but desire tor
office.
While this action of the COM
mittee was without authority and
void from any reasonable or legal
aspect, it nevertheless had much
the same effect as if endorsed by
all Prohibitionists.
Thus. thrown from the position
he occupied, Mr. Brunson has held
aloof from the campaign, await
ing developments. his pledge has
not been withdrawn.
While it is a source of regret
that he is not canvassing the State,
yet he is justified by t e peca i 'r
circumstances, and his course
should cause no surpFse.
Joel E Brunson loves his God.
his country and his fellow man.
He is a man of brains and char
acter. The loss Is South Cardinals.
Prohibilionlst.

Dun's Review

NEW YORK, April Or. G.. Dun & Co s
Weekly Review of Trade will say tomor-
row.
Hostilities have not as yet changed last
weeks conditions. There is much post
ponement of orders by men who do not
know what they are waiting for, and much
restriction of loans by banks which are
abundantly strong. All this checks new
business, and yet the volume of transac-
tions through clearing houses is per cent
larger than the same week in 1892, with no
foreign trouble. But the increase would
be much larger but for speculative stagna-
tion here. New York clearings being 81 per
cent smaller than in 1892. Railroads are
doing a great business, 81 per ctSat larger
than in 1892 in April earnings thus far, and
1879 larger than last year.
Many have been asserting about every
day for the past two weeks that the wheat
speculation had eliminated. but the price
has in that time advanced 2lh per cent, Sl4
cents within the past week. Receipts of
2.146,790 bushels at the west last week,
against 1,552 ,S35 year ago, and averaging
100000 bushels per week for January, Feb
ruary and March, show no exhaustion of
supplies, while exports amounting to 3,704,-
675 bushels from Atlantic ports, against
643,1iS last year and 7S6,01S from PaPcific
ports against 1SG 9i1 last year flour includ-
ed as wheat in all cases. makes exports for
the four weeks 12.093.76S bushels from At
