he was a child, has been graduated
from the South Carolina College as first
honor man with the highest record

his studies further in a university; the
college having no fund to use for that
purpose. j. Z Swearingen is from
Edgefeld He came to college with a
friend four years ago. The friend
read aloud the textbooks in his hear
ing. He absorbed the lectures and
could repeat them full. using his own
language He was highly distinguished
in every study for the entire four years.
Chaplain ]. William Flynn, who is
also professor in the collegs,say the
fact Of his being blind has not inter.
fered with his progress for moment
In PSYCHOLOGY, astronomy and mathe-
matics he had not particle Of trouble.
His conception Of things as they are
is astonishingly correct.

The Baltimore Sun says:

The Baltimore Sun says:
Mr.. Edward Atkinson makes
another bid for martyrdom by issu-
ing another pamphlet which displ ays
the American flag al half.mast,
with this inscription: In memory
of the brave soldiers whose lives have
been sacrificed in war for the
subjugstion of the Philippine Is
lands, and in the effort to deprive
the people of their liberty He is
however, not alone in yocing dis
appreciation of President McKIuley's
policy of aggression. The Sun has
received AN open letter addressed
to the President and his associated
sovereign empire and army makers, &,
by NJ. |. Swift, Of Nordhoff, Californ-
ia. la this letter Mr.. Swift says:
at seems to have become, within
the past few months, firmly ground
ed principle of republican Institutions
that one who does not agree with
your august authority in these mat
ters of conquest and expan sion saw
ors of the traitor, aud that one who
fully speaks his disapproval is A
traitor. II you are allowed to es
tablish this abominsble doctrine We
shall soon be all of us, in chai0s; our
rights to discuss. our very rights to
think, our right to decide national
policies for ourselves and by our
selves, unawed and indicated to by
elected ma ters, will be torn away.
You must be very confident that the
luster which two tiuy wars have
given you will enable yOu 10 con-
firm that doctrine, but you shsll at
least hear our version Of the myster-
les of treason.
mo doctrine could be more i'm
moral or dangerous than that We
must support our rulers in every
grossness of external policy or war
for the appearance of national unity
toward the outer world. There is NJ
stopping place for such creed short
of complete mental and moral sur
render of the whole people to the
tyranny of one will, and the ouly
sntidote for such madness is TO stop
in the beginning If sll those who
are panied and enraged at your vio-
lent criminal aggression were to pur'
sue this enlightened resistance to-
ward you, even you would soon be so
enlightened as to acknowledge the
horror Of your performances and to
gracously discontinue them.
'It is now announced that you
will soon max new levies for sJli-
iers to continue the asSimilsting mas
sacre of our beloved Oriental god
children. This is audacity incor-
coivable. Was 1t not enough, bav-
ing Obtained volunteers under false
pretense Of merely liberating Cuba,
to eunninely dispatch these men, who
never would have enlisted to crush
and destroy Cubans, to do that very
thing to another people in every re-
spect similar to the Cubansq This
is the quintessence of treachery and
/ marvel beyond words that an in
telligent people has borne it at your
hands"

Our Capitalists Anticipated.
The Baltimore Sun SAYS:

4 ne DdlAlnOtp Ouu cnJo'
Expecting the annexation of Cuba
to the United States, English inves-
tors have goue into the island, it is
said, and bought all the best steam
and street railways, mines and sugar
estates, thus Anticipating American
capitalists who have awaited def
mite announcement from Washington
a. TO tho political future Of Cuba.
MANY purchases were made before
the Spanish left and more since. Al
American syndicate was formed to
buy up the railroads, Of which the
mileage is some 100 miles, but 3
London 500, 600, 900 syndicate got in
ahead and now owns every road ofim
portanee from Pinar del Rio to Santa
Clara. 1t is now asking permission
TO build farther east to Santiago. A
Canadian syndicate got the h Hsvana
street railway system. SO of the
best sugar estates, the "blsrsted
Britisher," more accustomed to for
eign investments, spled out the land
and bought before me eule fanKee
had made up his mind.
These investors are, Of course, all
ardelt annexatiouists, waiting sta
BILE government, with honest courts,
to safeguard their properties. One
year of such government as exists in
Haiti, or Venezuela, would ruin all
sorts of enterprises. The politicians
of the South American republics are
adopts 10 striking" rich corpora.
tions for contributions to their pri-
vate and campaign funds. What
with .prouunciamentos, Instructions,
wars, fires and imprisonments they
could utilize Cuba Libre to impover-
ish the bloated capitalists to their
hearts content. The spoils in sight
in Cuba are worth ten times what
suffices to keep Peru in sonstant civil
war. 1t follows that the new owners
of the productive enterprises OF the
island welcome the American regime
with enthusiasm A like situation is
develo ping in the Far East. Now
that the Spanish are leaving Manila

said, ready purchasers of valusble
properties.
