The GLORY OF WAR.

Now that be are surely to have
war in earnest With Spain, and
there is no longer any doubt along
that line, people may take time to
stop and think what war really
means. To help the starving,
helpless Cubans is the noblest
motive that could prompt a nation
and we are glad that it has mar
rowed down to that issue. But
after all, it only means vast num-
bers of young men going forth to
use every means for destroying
each other, and from this stand
point it should send a thrill of
horror through every human soul.
Carlyle says that war is "priyate
citizens butchering other private
citizens with whom they have no
quarrel TO settle dispute between
their respective governments.
This war with Spain will doubt
less mean wholesale. skilled butch.
cry. The gallant charge" and
the brilliant assault" really mean
death and carnage, and sorrow and
bereavement and tears. OF the
bright battallions that are now
marching to the front, many a !
brave, noble fellow viii never re-
turn to mother, wife or sweetheart,
but will find watery grave, or else
sleep beneath an unmarked mound
in the dessolated and devastated
Antilles

A LADY, Suicides.

Friday morning about 5 o'clock Mrs.
Sam Milestone, Of the Hollow Greek
section OF Aiken county, the wife one
OF the community s most respected citi-
zens, committed suicide by drowning.
At an early hour, while it was yet dark,
she called her husband to do some er-
rand for her. He was still in bed, as
was all the rest Of the household. He
remained in bed some 10 or Is minutes
afterwards, doing off to sleep. When
he awoke he missed his wife. He arose,
calling her, and receiving no answer he
gave the alarm and search was immedi-
ately made. It still being dark, it was
with much difficulty that she was traced
by her footprints to an old pond some
200 yards from the house. There she
seemed to have sprung across an old
ditch, and going some distance up the
stream, jumped in. The searchers had
to wait some time for daylight before
the body could be found, the current
having borne it some distance down the
stream. The place was only about two
feet deep and it is somewhat remark
able how any one could be drowned in
so shallow a place. This is the second
attempt in the last few weeks. The
other was made with razor, the lady
cutting an ugly cash in her throat.
Her reason then, she said, was her very
i'll health, and she felt that she was
only burden to her family, and want
ed to get out of the way. She was
about 50 years old and leaves large
family and number Of relatives to
mourn her sad end.

vain the South denied the slanders
given broadcast to the world. "Uncle
Tom was republished in England; it
was translated into the European Ian
guages, and its caricatures Of Southern
life were multiplied thousand-fold by
abolition energy and fanaticism. When
Mrs. Stowe was pressed to give her au-
thority for the account she gave OF the
Kentucky and Louisiana planters, she
published A Key which showed
among the millions Of shareholders and
their Negroes how few we're the in
stances OF wickedness such as she gave
to the world as the habitual daily life
of the broad South. "
Haters of the South who have learned
their morals from Mrs. Stowe and John
Brown, who deliberately slander the
Southern people and seek to array the
Negroes against them, are enemies OF
the colored race and dangerous to the
peace aud prosperity Of the whole coun-
try. They are directly responsible for
race outrages, murders and collisions In
the South, and the blood shed under
these circumstances will cry to heaven
against them. 1t is tine that the bet
ter classes in the North put the stamp
of their emphatic disapproval upon
these emissarles Of evil and wickedness.
They cannot afford even to appear to
endorse creatures who, like very drabs,
fall to cursing whole section and spew
out uponit the slime Of their own de-
graded natures. Baltimore Sun.

a Heavy Bale.
Cotton aai Rocks in the Same Pack

One of Adam black sons, Will Clar-
dy by name, and farmer BY occupation,
induced by the exceedingly low price Of
cotton, and hard times generally. con-
cluded as he was helping to gin bale
of his own cotton at Frank Davenports
gin in Greenville county, one morning
before daylight, last week, that he
would add few hundred pounds to the
weight of his bale by dropping a rock
in the press occasionally, and so he
proceeded to execute his plan, with the
result that when his little bale of Cot
ton was suspended upon the company's
scales at Pelzer, Cotton-buyer Blake
was astonished to see that the beam
was tipped at the S29 figure, and sus-
pecting that there was surely something
heavier than cotton in the enclosure,
Mr.. Blpke ordered the bale unlocked
and Mr.. A. z. Long, chief Of police,
ordered Will Clardy to keep quiet and
watch the investigation which only
lasted a few minutes, when $50 pounds
Of rocks, five in number, were separat-
ed from the cotton, the largest one
weighing 125 pounds. MIR. Long, after:
pausing few minute, came to the con-
clusion that any man who could en-
hance the value of flint rocks from
nothing to 5-S cents per pound would
do to take along, and he accordingly
invested his man with bracelets and
escorted him to Anderson Jail. Will
did not confess his crime but only said
its de stranyest thing I ever seed how
dem rocks got into dat bale of cotton.

WISE COUNCIL.
Good Advice Given to the Negroes
by Negro.

Last Thursday night while 7.
Thomas Fortune and few other Negro
orators were bowling at Negro mass
meeting in Cooper Union, New York,
and Mrs. Grannis was screeching on the
same platform, Negro was speaking
words OF wisdom at a meeting over IN
Brooklyn. The:s was not one uttered
at the Cooper Union meeting which was
calculated to help !e condition Of the
Negro, to allevia, u any degree his
real or fancied Ills At the Brooklyn
meeting the only ue and helpful
policy for the Neg, las laid down in
strong language by the wisest Negro
leader IN the country. On that occasion
Brooker I. Washington 3 IL.
1T must be apparer II this time
that the effort to put tn. cluk and file
of the colored people IL, a position to
exercise the right oft!:tn chlse has not
been success in th7t portions OF our
own country where tt, Negro IS found
in large numbers. Either the Negro
was not prepared for any such whole
sale exercise of the ballot as our recent
amendment to the constitution
contemplated. or the American peo-
pie were not prepared to assist and
encourage him to use the ballot. La
either case the result has been the same.
In my mind there is no doubt but that
we made the mistake at the beginning
. of our freedom Of putting the emphasis
on the wrong end. Politics and the
holding of Office were emphasized al
most to the exclusion Of almost every
other interest, and we accepted respon;
sibilities, which Our experience and
education had not fitted US to perform
with success and credit. To mind the
past and present teach but one lesson
to the Negro's friends and to the Negro
himself-that there is but one way out,
that there is but one hope of salvation,
and that is for the Negro in every part
of America to resolve from henceforth
that he will throw aside every nom
essential and cling only to essentials
that this pillar Of fire by night and this
pillar of cloud by day shall be property,
skill, economy, education and Christian
character.
No man who will look the facts
squarely in the face, no man who is
capable of forming fair conclusion as
to the results Of Negro suffrage can deny
the truth Of what Brooker Washington
had the sense to see and the courage to
proclaim. The worst enemies the
Negro has had since his emancipation
have been the politicians and place:
seekers of his own party who have filed
his head with false notions and his
heart with false feelings. The best
the Negro can possibly do isto realize
his own position, his present weakness
and incapacity for positions which ne Is
urged by false leaders to claim. Brooker
Washington points out to him the only
path which will enable him to gain a
better condition for himself and his
children--Atlanta Journal.

a Remarkable Case.

William B. Smallridge, who died a
few days ago at Glenville, in Gilmer
county, carried a bullet in his heart for
81 years, He was member Of Co. E,
lst West Virginia infantry in the civil
war, and in September, 1861, while
marching through Gilmer county, West
Virginia, was shot by somebody in am
bush, the bullet entering Smallridge's
chest, at the lower point Of the scapula,
on the left side, passing thence direct
ly through the left lung into the left
veutricle Of the heart. The force Of
bullet was so broken that it did not pass
the inner wall, but the regimental sur
geon pronounced the wound fatal, and
left Smallridge to die He did not die,
however, but was sent back up the Lit
tie Kanawha river in skiff to his home
in Glenville, where he recovered and
has since lived. A few weeks ago,
while on his deathbed, be asked DR.. &.
O. Brown to make an examination OF
the wound after his death. This Brown
did, and found the bullet imbedded in
the heart. Surgeons pronounced 1t the
most extraordinary case on record.
