"A newspaper correspondent suggested
to general Lee that inasmuch as he was
the man who took down the American
flag in Havana, and the last American
to leave, he should be the first to return.
He replied: 81 would not mind it."

THE ENQUIRER is fully prepared to
endorse the action of the board of visitors
of the South Carolina Military academy
as published in another column. Under
the peculiar circumstances, the very life
of the Citadel-probably the best educa-
tional institution in the state-depended
upon the wisdom of the board. While
we recognize that from military stand
point expulsion for all of the offenders
was the only thing that could have been
reasonably expected, in remembering the
youth of the boys and offering punish
ment less severe to all except the ring
leaders. the board of visitors showed sa-
gacity and consideration which reflects
upon that body the highest credit. The
fact that none of the boys felt called upon
TO acknowledge their error under the cir
cumstances, is the occasion of sincere re-
gret. We are confident that most Of them
will in time fully realize their mistake,
and will frankly acknowlege IL. we
Judge by the admirable tirmness ana
manhood they have exhibited in an lnde-
fensible cause. While, as we have sug-
gested, the necessity for such severe
lesson is regretablc, in our opinion the in
cident will contribute very greatly to the
future welfare of the Citadel. 1t is evil
dent that heretofore the boys have had an
idea that upon them rested the response
bility for the proper management Of the
institution. Hereafter that duty will, no
doubt. be left entirely to the superintend-
ent and his properly authorized assistants.

THE DEMOCRATIC MACHINE
ATTEMPTS TO KICK DOWN
TRUTH AND FACTS,

against him since he baked you IN
your purpose II that interview about
the Oyster Frauds.
/ am aware that this is plain talk;
but it is the truth, nevertheless, and
you know it. Do you think the vot-
ers of the county of Wayne will ele-
vate you to the legislature when
they come to know these facts about
your career9 Do you think SCI We
shall see!
Your confederate in the Oyster
Fraud business, F. M. Simmons,
Chairman of the S ate Democratic
Committee, got q chance to get in
some of his spite against the Govern
or by procuring Hancock to write a
letter saying that the Governor told
him he would retain him in the Pres
idency of the EAtlantic E ad if he
would whip Joe Daniels.
Everybody who knows anything
about it believes that Simmons
wrote that letter, and had Hancock
to sign it. Simmons must have
known it was a lie when he began
it's circulation; but a little thing OF
that sort never ~interferes with any
of his purposes. Everybody elss
knows it is q lie; because it is self
evident that, If Hancock could have
saved his place by whipping Daniels,
Daniels would have been whipped.
It was too easy a thing to do for
Hancock to refuse it. Bless your
dear life, what job could have been
more easy than for Hancock to have
damned the miserable coward who
was slapped in the face by Day;
kicked into the gutter by Carroll;
and cowhided on the public streets
by Ashe. The only possible trouble
that Hancock could have had in the
performance of that task would have
been to catch Daniels.
The above statements show that
you and your confederates are beau
ties. You have a nice little arrange
ment by which you r to come to
the legislature from Wayne, and
manage the machinery in that BODY
SO as to get Oyster Fraud claims pa d
by IN appropriation.
When the State Treasurer, Mr..
Worth, refused to pay the Oyster
Fraud Claims, you and Simmons
stuck your complaints into the edl-
torial pages Of that disreputable sheet
known throughout this State as the
News and Observer. / do not know
whether you wrote them, or whether
Simmons wrote them, or whether
Daniels wrote them. | am satisfied
that each and every one of you had

member how vilely you abused
Treasurr Worth for not having paid
these fraudulent claims. | suppose
