A Tower Of Etrength.

Our inland fishermen usually are sat.
.ished with catching a flnny prize that
can be hidden in the ample interior Of
an ordinary market basket, but people
who fish in salt water are inclined "a
sneer at such "small fry" They are
apt to fish for man eating sharks, using
q few pounds Of pork for a bait and
spiking it on q steel hook half an inch
laick and . foot or more in length.
One CT the most striking examples Of
this sort Of fishing was furnished near
5Ohetolah, N. Y, recently. A steam
yacht owned by Mr.. A. J. Wise appear.
ed in port with a swordfish Is feet 10
inches long that had been captured by
the skipper: After the fish was hooked
the line was fastened to the boats gig,
from which the skipper was fishing,
and the giantrhsh towed boat and all
Tor six miles before becoming exhausted.
II required the strength Of five sailora
TO- hoist the fish into tho yacht after II
was killed, for the monster creature
weighed 625 pounds.

LATEST WAR VIEWS BOILED
DOWN.

We give our readers the latest war
news, but reports are so conflicting
that we hardly know where we are.
The report OF an engagement be-
tween Admiral Schley's fleet and Adj
miral Cervera is announced, but the
result is not definitely known from an
American standpoint. We believe
that our ships have been victorious,
although we know it is next to i'm
possible to enter the harbor of Santi-
ago de Cuba. owing to the fortified.
tlons and narrowncss Of the channel.
Below is a synopsis of the battle.
New York, June 1.-The Journals
cable from Kingston says: Schley
has struck the first hard blow.
The outer Notifications of Santiago
de Cuba are practically in ruins, the
once formidable Moro fort being com.
pletely wrecked, and Admiral Cervera'S
flagship battered aud charred.
Not a shell actually struck one Of
ScHley's vessels, and to-day or tO.mor'
row the whole American fleet will be
before the scotchcd Spanish strong
hold prepared to hammer them to
absolute destruction or surrender.

WELL SAID.

Every day we have heard expressions
and observed situations in cone0nance
with the ideas expressed below by the
Greenwood Commonwealth:
1.-THE cry of war saddcncd many a
heart, and when n questions the
cause OF why our men are not enlist.
ing they will at once see, by examina.
tion, that it is not a like of patriotism.
In Il little cottage yonder is IA widow.
ed mother who depends upon her only
son for support-must he leave? Across
the street is the family Of "a laboring
man whose daily earnings Is their life.
Can he leave? That bright young
man there, who cares for the family
Shall he leave? Thousands of such
men are all over the South who are
willing to enlist, but owing to these
Surroundings must first make prepare
ton and protection for those at
home. The hearts of such men beat
only true patriotism-for when almar
loves and protects his home he loves
and will defend his country. Such d
man is a hero and VIZ are glad the
South has thousands OF them."
