HOW LONG WILL 1T LAST?

"How long will the war with
Spain last" is question often
asked and almost as often answer
ed; and yet no one knows or can
know. The latest answer is from
Judge Tom Mackey, formerly OF
this State. Here are his predic-
titions:
"I think that our war with
Spain will extend over period
of three or four years, and possibly
much longer. To achieve final
victory we will be forced to land
an army on Spanish soil, and that
will bring on the greatest battle IN
the annals of history. A quarter of
a million of men will be engaged
on either side. The taking of Cuba
and Porto Rico instead of mark
ing the termination of the struggle,
will only be its inception, and the
enemy is wise enough to have
discounted the loss of this terri
tory. Spain has a population OF
100000, and is a warlike race
Uuless we administer crushing
blow on their own soil they will
not stop fighting for the next
thirty years." Bah!

GEN. HAMPTON SPEAKS.

Gen. Hampton, at a meeting of
the Confederate veterans of South
Carolina in Charleston last week,
spoke and caused the widest Ell
thusiasm by the following refer
ence to the war with Spain:
"My Old Comrades-We know
what war is. I do not hesitate to
say that regret the ole upon
which we are now entering. But
YOU are South Carolinians; you
are sons of the men who have shed
immortal glory on the Palmetto
flag in the past, and l would rather
lie than think that South Caro-
llua would not respond to the call
made upon her for volunteers.
And old as am, can still ride
on horseback and WELD sword /;
and if her quota is not filled, if
there is one name lacking to make
it full, I myself will volunteer.

duty to make it the champion of
freedom for all time to come,

THE COUNTY CONVENTION

There were not many OF the unterri-
fed in the county democratic conyen-
tion that met in the court house on
Monday of this week, but enough Of
respectability and calibre to make up
for the paucity IN numbers.
NJ. P. Wells, Esq, was elected tenn
porary chairman and performed the
duties of presiding officer Of the con-
yenticn with much credit to himself
and to the entire satisfaction of the
convention.
Tillman R. Denny was elected
county chairman; P. n. Lott, 1st vice
chairman; H. C. Watson, End vice
president; 8. NJ. Smith, secretary and
treasurer
In accordance with the sentiment OF
the delegates, and the county at large
as we'll, Col. j. H. Tillman introduced
the following resolutions, which we
might denominate resolutions OF fra
ternization"; inasmuch as they are
eminently brotherly in their scope and
intent and mean a putting away of
factional strife and pickering, We hope,
for all time to come.
COL. T1LLMAN's RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, it is the desire of this con-
yention that all factionalism be
buried; and, having an earnest desire
to reunite the democracy Of the coun-
ty, therefore, be it resolved
lst. That those factions heretofore
existing, known as reformers and con-
servatiyes be each allowed four iele-
gates to the State democratic conven-
tion.
End. That the county Craftsmanship
be given to conservative and tho
office of State executive cQmmitteemar
