War7Cry.
Editor The TINES:

War clouds have been lowering
over our country for some weeks now.
At times they would stubornly recede
and now at this time from all ac-
counts they are getting thicker and
thicker and looming up with all their
blackness and ready as it appears to
break forth with all their fury. On
every side the talk is war, war. Yes,
the talk is war and we, for one, with
ali sincerely OF heart say "Let her
roll 1T is indeed gratifying to every
true patriot all over. this broad land
of ours to know that the men high III
authority in our government have al
last awoke to a sense of their duty,
and that they now begin to show a
disposition to defend the national
honor Of our country, and to avenge
the death of our countrymen so
cruely murdered b. brutal Spauiards
treacherously blowing up our battle
ship Maine on the night of the 18th
OF last February. We believe our
government has dallied too long in
making up its mind to bring the CO.
wardly miscreants to al accountable
ty. They ought to push this matter
to conclusion by declaring war
against Spain let consequences be
what they may The blood of our
unfortunate, though gallant dead has
been crying 100 long already from
the foul mud of Havana narbor or
retribution, and the black winged
vulture of Cubs has lowered over and
held high carnival long enough to our
shame and modification over some
of the bodies of our unfortunate and
treacherously murdered dead. The
cry and pleadings OF the Cuban peo-
pie for independence and deliverence
from the domination and expressions
of the mesnest, the most treacherous
and brutal people that the Creator of
all things ever took time to bring in
to existance has been too long un
needed. But we believe the day Of
Cuban deliverance draws near and
we sincerely trust the day of retribu-
tive Justice will in the meantime over
take the cruel murderers of our IN
suspecting and too confdirg coun-
trymen. Bnlly for the jingoes, our
nation can depend on them. The
dollar loyalist and the long faced,
blubbering and peace pleading vail
ants may now retire to back seats
and we trust the jingoes wont be too
hard on them loving money and
peace better than they love oational
honor and manly resentment. If
war does come, they should be given
place in the picture, and chance
to serve their country. They should
Immediately be enlisted in the squaw
mans battalion, and every one label
ed quaker. With all seriousness we
believe the time for words and blus
ter is!now past, and the time for ac-
ton has arrived. Let the sordid
gold go and let our country give the
cruel and treacherous Spaniards war
to the knife, and the knife to the hilt
life for life, blood for blood is the
sentiments and desire Of your hum

School Entertainment ut Jordan.
Jordan, S. c., April 2, 1898,

Jordan, S. c., April 2, 1898,
The closing exercises of the school
situated in St. Marks township or
School District No 6, and known by
the local name of Rehobath school,
took place on Friday night March
25th and as I had the pleasure OF be-
ing present, I will write few dots on
the subject.
R. L. Jones, the young teacher
under whose supervision and infu-
ence the school had progressed for
the last school term, made it clearly
understood that the exercises would
be short as he was not aware of the
fact that his school would not have
an entertainment until few days be-
fore. 1t is true that the exercises
were not wearisomely long, but they
Uere good, interesting and to the
point.
The entertainment was opened
with a song by the school. This was
followed by recltatlons, declamatlons,
music etc. The music was fine; it
was furnished by the 'Santee string
band," and we Gao compliment the
Santee band as being among the
best. After this Mr.. Jones, the
teacher, took the stand. The subject
which he had chosen for the occasion,
Education. He spoke about half an
hour on the subject, touching on i'm
portapt points and delivering valua-
BILE advice which was listened to with
interest By all of those who were
present. The entertainment was
closed by music from band.
It is true that this school is "down
on Santee," but tits as good Il loca-
ton for school as can be found any
where, and if the school is as good
Intellectually as the physical appear
ances were on that night, there can
be no doubt about its being a good
school. 4 VISITOR.

The Presidents message will be
sent to Congress to-day and is said
to contain about 1000 words. He
will recommend against the inde-
pendence OF Cuba for the present,
but be will recommend Intervention
until government can be formed.
There will be strong efforts to get
Congress to back up the President,
as they should do. Mckinley does
not want to recognize the independ-
ence of government which does not
exist. We have every confidence in
the Presidents ability to guide the
ship of State into haven of peace.

ACLARENDON BOY IN TROUBLE.

Elsewhere we publish 2 full &C
count of the trouble at the Citadel as
taken from the News & Courier. Ser
geant Canty is one OF Clarendon's best
young men, son OF Hon. Joseph
S. Cantey of Summerton, and a more
honorable boy never put on a uni
form. II be reported any Of the
boys for breaking barracks it was his
duty to do so, and the violent out
break against the young man is GER
tainly unfortunate. The people
throughout South Carolina will not
tolerate such conduct and unless the
officers in charge OF the institution
punish the offenders, the next session
of the Legislature will take the mat
ter in hand and very likely withhold
the appropriation to continue the
Citadel.
Cantev is 8 noble fellow, conscieD.
tious and the soul of honor. He is
being trained q soldier and his first
duty is to obey orders; we therefore
suppose that in making his report OF
those of his comrades who broke
barracks, it was one of the duties I'M
posed upon him by his superior Off
GERS. He comes Of stock that will
not be intimidated, even by a mob
many of whom were "under the in
fuence of whiskey" His Uncle Bill
Cantey, rather than surrender his
company at the battle Of Five Forks,
gave up his life,and Cadet Cantey will
never surrender either. Many of these
cadets are the benefciaries of the tax
payers of this State, and we know
that the people will not feel kindly
towards an institution that will tol-
crate a condition in which many OF the
cadets were under the influence of
whiskey. Cantey will stay at the
citadel if every cadet leaves its walls,
far better would It be for the future
of the citadel if the institution only
graduated Cantey high toned con-
scientious gentlemen than for it to
turn loose at the expense OF the peo-
pie mob of toughs.
We regret exceedingly this most
deplorable affair, because we have
always felt kindly towards the citadel
and have time and again defended 1t
from the attacks of its enemies but
we cannot for moment think of e1-
cusing the conduct of "mauy of the
cadets were under the influence OF
whiskey" last Monday night, and un-
dertook by mob violence to force a
brave and honorable Clarendon boy
to leave the institution which he en-
tered upon his merit.

An Old Idea.

Every day strengthens the belief of emf
nent physicians that impure blood is the
cause of the majority of our diseases.
twenty-five years ago this theory was used
as basis for the formula of Browns Iron
Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected
by this famous old household remedy are
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.

somewhat of patriarchial government
is move in the right direction, and
a means of prevention to save cure.
Ever Jealous of his share of the
money and watchful, MIR. Mayfeld
has been the means of saving no
small sum of money to the State as
we'll as securing all it WAS entitled to
by law. Mr.. Mayfeld got his busi-
ness training as a bookkeeper in a
wholesale and retail store Greenville,
and this bookkeeper's instinct has led
to the detection of no few errors IN
county returns. in one instance he
discovered shortage of $4,000, IN
another of $1,000. It was through
his shrewd study of the balance
sheets that the shortage in Union, the
shortage of keels in Sumter, the en-
bezzlement of Weber in Charleston
and many other shortages, defalca-
ton and peculation were discovered.
Mr.. Mayheld has proved himself to
be not only good officer, but a
thorough business man, and business
methods are needed as much IN State
and county government as well as
they are in wholesale and retail
stores. Good officers make good
governmet.
Now that we have finished our long
love feast, we can all shake hands and
agree that whether the Reform move
ment failed in one or another dlrec-
ton, it certainly succeeded in a re-
form of education, and this success,
like charity, will cover multitude OF
failures in other directions.

1t is for the Legislature to determine
what ought, and must be done. In its
silence, it simply endorses the present
active policy of our deeds. 1T sees us
well along the Oriental way, and re,
marks: Sorry for it, it can't be help
ed" Perhaps it cannot If so. let us
find out what the situation is, and if
nothing can be done, let us accept the
conclusion, whatever it is.
We repeat what we said yesterday. 1t
is the bone and sinew of Nation which
determines its political institutions in
the end. If the bone and sinew here
has not already been determined by our
own acts, it is the solemn duty of the
Legislature to go into committee of the
whole, on the state of the Nation, and
settle this one great underlying ques-
ton. beside which nearly all other
questions are trivial 1t is important
with annexation. 1t is vital without
annexation If the Legislature does
not arrive at some conclusion about it
at its present session, it is quite evil
dent that the policy we now practice
sut are careful not to preach, will be-
come more and more vigorous.

COFFEE PRICES AGAIN.

What we desire to get from the Bull
letin is what will the coffee planters
get, not from the prime grades of cot
fee. but from his entire crop. What
will be the average for the whole? If
he picks 10000 lbs. what will he get for
the 10000 lbs good. bad, and indiffer-
emit?
He may get 40 cents per lb. for the
best grade. but that will not pay him,
if three-fourths of his crop grades low.
The N. Y. Tribune quotes Central Am
erican to Is cents. Jamaica to 10
CENTS. So our coffee may be quoted 6
to IS cents. But the value of the crop
cannot be determined from such fig
ures.
We have before us account sales re-
Gently made in San Francisco, of our
coffee at 1912 cents gross, 10 cents
gross, II, 10 and cents gross. This is
ungraded coffee
The Foreign Office handbook states
(p. 35) in its estimates of yield, that
rs acres will produce in the sixth year
100 900 lbs. of coffee, that is about 1900
lbs. per acre, and vaules it at Is cents
per pond.
The ''tenderfoot" therefore, is lead to
believe that the entire crop is prime,
and will bring Is cents. Only a per-
|centage of it is prime Some of it would
hardly bring cents. Therefore the
statement is very misleading. 1t tends
to destroy the value of the estimate
There is a "boom" ring in it. We will
now abide events, and await the trade
reports.
