a AREFOtME EIt's FORECAST.
tn" Gubrrnnt0rial Chances In the Primary
IAN Viewed by an Ardent Advocate Of
Colonel Watson -
The Columbia Record. /

Inc Columbia Record.
Who will be the next Governor of
South CarolinaY That important
question will practically be settled
two weeks from today. Nobody ser
iously supposes that any Of the can
didntes will win the nomination in
the first primary, but when the first
primary has eliminated all the Cub
ernatorial candidates bnt two it will
not be hard to make reasonably
accurate prediction AZ to which of
those two will be tho winner in the
second primary.
There are seven candidates-the
incumbent, Governor w. II. Ellerbe,
of Marion; r. B. Watson, Of Saluda;
e. l.. Archer, of Spartanburg; G.
W. Whitman, Of Union; o. l..
Schumpert, Of Newberry; q. d. Till
man, of Edgefold, and G. @. Feath-
erstone, of Laurens.
The first four are Reformers and
advocates of the dispensary Jaw; tho
last three are Con nservatives. Schnm-
pert and Tillman advocating local
option and high license, and Feath-
erstone prohibition.
The vote cast will probably ag-
gregate $4,000, as county officers
are to be nominated at the same
time, which will bring out many
more voters than took the trouble to
cast their ballots in the Senatorial
primary Of 1907.
Governor Ellerbe was counting on
the solid Conservative support, and
has bestowed the patronage of his
office to bring about that result, but
he has not succeeded.
The bulk Of the Conservatives and
some Reformers will vote for Schum-
pc t, who will receive at least 25, 900
votes.
Whitman may get three hundred
votes, and Tillman and Archer will
not get ovor 1000 votes together.
FeatherAtono will scarcely exceed
10000 votes.
This leaves 35,7O0 votes to be d.
vided between Ellerbe and Watson,
Of which the latter will get ut least
10000.
If this calculation be even approx
imately correct, tho second rae"
will be between Watson and Schum-
pert, and the former would be II
winner, because the Prohibitionlsts
as we'll as tho dispensary men would
rally to his support.
If the second race should chance
to be between Ellerbe and Schum-
pert, the latter would win, because
he would hold his first vote and gain
the support of thousands who are
disgusted with tho present Chief
Executive.
The next Governor will be either
Watson or Schumpert, and either
will be vast improvement upon the
incumbent.
Those who care little about Eller,
be, but think that for the present
the Chief Executive should continue
10 he Il Reformer, had bette, vote fol
Watson, for in a second race be-
tween Ellorbe and Schumpert tho
latter would certainly be winner

SCARS OF BATTLE.

In no way did the big ships show
the hard usage to which they had
beon subjected. The Brooklyn's q
holes with the exception of those
through the smokestack had been
patched, and the big ship repaintrd,
and polished until she shone. On
tho starboard side could be seen a
great steel patch ovor the hole whore
one of tue Viscaya's shots went
through, and on tho quarter deck, u
wooden patch where the deck was
torn up. The armor belt still holds
tho print Of a large shell, and crit
ical eye can see the dents made by
several more.
The Iowa has patch over her
bow where she WAS hit by Il G-inch
shell and the Indiana has patched
up hole in her deck. Reminders
of tho greatest naval battle eve
fought, however, are disappointingly
few.

An Heroic Death.

From the New York Sun.
Among the first of the Americans 10
fall i'm Cuba has been Sergt. Hamilton
Fish of New York; and in the history
of war there have been few examples
of courage and self-sacrince more in
spring n more touching than this
young mans.
Hamilton Fish represented a family
which since the early colonial days has
been associated prominently and most
~honorably with the history of America.
He was born to wealth, was carefully
educated at scool and college, and for
several years thereafter was distin-
guished and sometimes reprobated for
his wild and reckless indulgence i'm the
sports and adventures for which he had
so great an inclination and so extra
ordinary a physical aptitude. He was
of uncommon, almost giant stature. Of
prodigious strength and of absolute
fearlessness. His disposition led him
naturally to excuses, but they were
only the expression of the exuberance
of a strong character not yet disci-
plined by the struggle of life. In Co
lumbia college he was noted rather for
athletic zeal than for studious applica-
ton. He pulled one of the
oars i'm the university boat crew which
astonished the crowd by beating the
crews of Cornell and Pennsylvania uni
Versity III a race memorable for the
severity with which II was contested.
Thereafter his unr~estrained spirit Of
enterprise and activity found outlet Ia
railroading in the far West.
1t was natural. therefore. that the
venturesome Hamilton Fish should
have been one of the first of the rep
re~sentatiyes OF the daring spirits u
his circle Of youthful associates in
New York who enlisted In the regiment
of Rough Riders. in whose organizl-
ton Theodore Roosevelt was the most
conspicuous figure. He sought no
commission. but welcomed the hard
ships and the strict discipline TO which
the private soldier must submit 80
completely. bearing his share Of all
cheerfully and with unwonted docility.
Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt. writing
TO his father. only about we weeks
ago. said that no man in the regi-
ment so far has done his duty better
or beer more useful in his position
He wanted nothing except the privi-
| lege Of fighting the enemies Of his
n And he obtained his desire
at the very beginning of our invasion
of Cuba.
He represented the spirit Of fortitud1
and fearless devotion which so many
thousands Of our young men are now
/ displaying on the sea and on the land,

hood m American arms. II Is a spirit

LUND BURG RECAPTURED.
He Was Half Starved and Will BE Taken
Back to the Asylum.

L. Lundburg, the escaped patient
from the insane asylum who paid a
visit to the city Jail one Sunday about
three weeks ago n visited with jail
err Boyle for half an hour without the
latter discovering hat he was talking
to a lunatic and then disappeared as
though the earth had opened and
swallowed him, was ~recaptured yes
terday by Police officer Dougherty and
is now held at the county Jail to be re-
turned to the asylum. Lundburs
made his escape from the asylum on
a Saturday and the next day came To
Butte and paid a visit to the city jail.
He told Jailer Boyle he had just been
discharged from the asylum and talked
so nationally that Boyle never suspect
ed he was an escaped lunatic till he
had gone and a telephone message
came 10 the Jail from the sheriff's Of
flee. notifying him to look out for the
man.
A search was made but no trace of
Lundburg could be found and he has
NOT been seen since till yesterday
morning when officer Dougherty found
him wandering aimlessly about in East
Park street and took him TO the sta
ton. The unfortunate appeared half
starved and was in a wretched condl-
ton. having again entirely lost his
mental balance. He was taken to the
county Jail last evening to await the
arrival of an attendant from the asyl-
um to take him back.

CESARE A PASSENGER.
1t Is Believed That He Went Down With
La Bourgogne.

One unfortunate woman in Butte is
expected to receive the sad intelligence
to-day that she is left a widow with a
large family of children by the loss Of
the French liner La Bourgogne, which
is repOrted in his mornings dispatches
as having gone down at sea with a loss
of 600 passengers n crew. Joseph
Cesare. an employe of the Parrot com
pany, who's home is at ~ East Center
street. Centerville. is believed to have
been one of the passengers on the i'll
fated ship.
Matters in connection with the set
Element of an. estate back in Italy re-
uuired Cesare to journey To the OH
country and some days < he pur-
chased a steamship ticket of Savin
Lisa in East Park street. and was 10
sail on July . on La Bourgogne. The
vessel sailed on schedule time. and as
no word has been received by Cesare's
family or friends i. is believed he was
aboard. He travelled third class, and
his name therefore does not appear
among the list of passengers.
Cesare has a brother. James, besides
his wife and four children, living in
Centeryille. None of them have re-
ceived any word from him since the
shin was. reported lost yesterday, and
as il is believed he would have noti-
fed his family by telegraph in the
event he was safe, ii is taken for
granted he was among the lost. Mrs.
Cesare was not permitted to learn 81
the loss of the vessel last evening, n
the news will be withheld from her
until time has been given to allow her
husband to telegraph If he was saved.
If word does not come to-day the news
will be broken to her.

serve and carry forward to greater
distinction the highest traditions "f
military prowess Inherited by them
from heroic ancestors. As he proved
and as the course of conduct of null
itudes of similar social surroundings
Is now bearing witness. the ease and
luxury of peace have brought no en-
feeblement, moral or physical.
Sergt. Hamilton Fish came of a
family which has rendered conspicu-
Gus service to this country from the
days of the revolution until now. His
great-grandfather. Col. Nicholas Fish.
was a gallant soldier of the revolution,
esteemed especially by Washington.
His grandfather was Hamilton Fish, 30
years ago governor OF this state, ana
afterward United States senator and
finally secretary of state in the cabi-
net Of President Grant. His father.
the Hon. Nicholas Fish, who was only
graduating from college as the civil
wal was drawing to a close. has Teen
United States minister to Belgium and
Switzerland and is still an honored
resident of this city. His uncle. the
Hon. Hamilton Fish. was long an able
and conspicuous member of the New
York assembly. and subsequently as its
speaker sustained the honorable rec
ord of his family; and it may be that
he is destined to carry to stu further
eminence the public career TO which
his laudable ambition has always
looked forward so manfully.
This stock. so long illustrious in
American annals, is nov represented
upon the roll of American heroes of the
closing days of this century. Hamilton
Fish. third OF the name, has made II
glorious in his generation.
