Court Proceedings.

Tae Common Pleas court still con-
tinues, although the number of jurors
present is ouly twenty Eve. Tie
msj lity Of cases heard have been
damage cases against the railroads,
and the roads seem to have come out
second best.
When we went to press last week
the tlial was in progress in the case
of Eadocia J. Mitchell vs.. John j.
Barrs, which resulted in verdict fer
the defendant on Thursday morning.
Following this case came that of
Elizabeth E Ha.:iwapger, Admins
tratrix, VS. Columbis, Newberry and
Laurens R.ilroad Company. This
action vas brought for $1,000 dam
ages for the killing OF her husband,
John Henry Haltiwanger, near Hi
ton, about two years ago. Messrs.
Graham and Nelson represented the
plaintiff and Messrs. ". Fl. Lyles ard
George tombstone the railroad con-
papy. The evidence and arguments
were very lengthy, and continued un
til late Saturday afternoon. A YER
dict for S1,750 was rendered at S
o'clock Saturday evening. The at
torneys for the railroad company
gave notice of appeal.
Monday morning came the trial in
the case of NJ S. Ruff vs.. the Florida
Central and Peninsulsr Railroad
Company, brought by Messrs. Ora
ham g. Nelson. The complaint al
leges damages at sl,950. The plain
tiff boarded train at Columbia for
Swansea, and at the latter place it
did not stop but carried him on to
Denmark, where he was put eff: For
this and several other allegations the
action was brought. The verdict
was for the plaintiff for $500. No
tice of motion for a new trial was
given.
Yesterday the second trial in the
case of Debby Risinger, AdmiDistra
trix, vs.. the Southern Railway Com
pany, asking for s1,95O 6a:ayss

The physicians Of Columbia are
kicking because they are compelled
to pay city license for the privilege
of practicing their profession and
oftentimes relieving the sufferipgs of
the poor and needy of the city with
out the hope of earthly reward.
They very properly contend that tie
large amount of charity work which
they do, and which saves the city a
Urge sum of money annually, should
exempt them from this license.

Our neighbor, the Aiken Journal
and Review, is informed that tie
three editors Of the three daily ps-
pers are each about as funny as tie
other. They are the only origin,
members Of the only original mutual
admiration society. One cracks an
ancient chestnut, whose odor lay s
L;mberger cheese in the shade, and
the other two laughs. Either one
would be a worthy successor to the
immortal John Ludlow.

It may not be inappropriate to re-

It may not be inappropriate to re-
mark that, while the whole country
joins in doing honor to the returned
hero of Manila and triumpbal arches
have been erected to commemorate
and perpetuate his brilliant, and at
that time unparalleled, victory at
Cayite in the Philippines, the hero OF
Santiago is being snubbed and ne
elected by an unappreciative and
preiudiced government 1t is true
that Dewey's victory was a brilliant
one and he is deserving Of all the
honors which have been heaped
upon him by grateful and loving
people, but it is equally true that
Schley's victory was as complete ard
as brilliant. Dewey's victory hap
pened at time when the news Of
the declaration Of war had barely
reached the far away Philippine is
lands and the Spanish were totally
unprepared for the attack, which was
evidenced by their lack Of precau-
tion, that the vessels composing Mon
tiio's fleet were inferior in every re-
spect to those of the Americans, be-
ing for the most part wooden hull
vessels OF low grade. Ce1Tera's
feet was the flower Of the Spanish
navy. His ships were first class war
vessels fully equipped with all the
modern guns and pharspernalia
known to modern science, and at the
time of its destruction, it was fully
prepared for action, with guns
primed and trained, the gunners ip
position and on the alert for tie
command to fire" and each man at
bis post ready to perform his part in
the awful tragedy about to take
place. Dewey destroyed Montijo's
fleet, not one escaped to tell the sad
tale Of destruction. Schley sunk
Csvera's feet, completely wipirg it
from the bosom of the deep, and per.
mitting not single vessel to escape
to carry the news to Spain. Como
dore Dewey was rewarded with the
rank of Admiral. Commodore Schley
was begrudgingly raised to the rank
of Rear Admiral. Deweyw was received
with acclanations of praise and
honor. Scbley was not ever per
mitted to welcome his superior Office,
in an eficial capacity in the hour oi
lis greatest triumph and glory
Captain Sampson was made Rear
Admiral and given prominent and
CONSPICUOUS place in the Dewey cele
bration for being twelve miles away
from Cevera's feet at the time of itt
destruction by Schley, with his heels
to the enemy. Scbley is Southern
man and a Democrat. Sampson is
Northern man and a Republican

Gen Butler now says he did not
advise the deportation" of negroes
(which he says implies "force or
coercion';) to Africa; but claims what
be did advise was the gradual and
permanent separation OF the races by
voluntary consent. The brother in
black will hardly give bis voluntary
consent to return to the land Of his
fathers in darkest Africa, and as the
General says, ''it would be better fer
both races" for this separation to
take place, how in the name of COM
mon sense, can this much desired
end be accomplished s'for the good
of both races" unless it be by force
or coercion?" The negro has tasted
the flesh pots Of Egypt which, in
this instance, means FIVE dollars
month, three pounds of bacon and a
peck of corn meal per week and
little log cabin, with a banjo or mouth
organ or an accordeon thrown in as
side dish, and be never will consent
to return TO his fathers house where
the fatted calf awaits his return. He
never came to this country volunta-
rily, neither will he leave it so.

IA making stock OF letter from me

tions among Industries. admit that
quite a while ago did write such
letter to one OF the senators and used
such an expression. but did not
mean combinations as a trust in the
general acceptance of the term.
II believe combination Of indus
tries good thing, which has
already been proved by the fact that
wages have gone up greatly since the
combinations have been formed. The
prices of material have advanced
and the general condition OF the en-
tire country 10 much improved. ny
this the ineorporatorS will reap
large dividends later on. When /

"But don't care to enter upon any

years yet to serve and later on will
see what can do"

IMPORTANT
ANNOUNCEMENT
Regarding the Seattle and

In all probability the iong-contem-

Coast company between Seattle and

II was stated at the once Of the
company thu. morning that when
the steamer Cottage City resumes
her run 10 Alaska, the Queen will be
removed. and replaced on the San
steamer City Of Puebls. now cover
Ing the Queens place on that route
will then he removed, and un-
doubtedly win be operated between
Seattle and Hawaii. thus confirming
all reports to that effect which have
been published.
That the Pacific Coast company
has Its eye on Island frame, there
can be no doubt. Prominent and
high officials of the company have
stated this to be q fact. The COM
pany has long been DESTROYS OF es.
tablishing a steamship line between
this port and Honolulu. but were
obliged to delay for a time from lack
OF vessels. II was partly for this
purpose that the handsome steam.
er Senator was built last year at
San Francisco. Shortly after being
completed. however. the Senator and
the City Of Puebla were both char
tered by the government 10 serve as
transports. As no other suitable
vessel could be secured, the company
was obliged to abandon its project
for n time. The recent release OF
the Puebla from transport service
now removes all obstacles from es-
tabllshing the line.

Who 10 directly responsible for the

beilionf
Does the fault lie with President
Mckinley. the War department. or
Gen. Otls7
These questions are asked. follow
ing the authoritative statement Of
Brisadier- General Charles King. Just
returned from the Philippines.
Gen. King II not only a soldier who
comma ndcd a brigade In Gen Otis
army. and took active part In the
ffwhtins In LuSon. hut II a trained
observer. Gen. King says that the
failure Of Otis 10 crush the piiip!nos
IL due 10 the lack Of men. lie claims
that " Otis had been given an efrec-
tive force Of SO. 900 at the outbreak 81
hostiiities. the war would now be
over.
In his opinion. Otis should have at
least 60. 900 hghting men when his
offensive campaign II resumed at the
close % the rainy season.
Gen. King In quoted as follows in
an Interview at Chicago;
II believe that when the Philip
pine war began. che United States
should have sent 10000 men. inciud-
ins three regiments OF cavalry, In.
stead OF $1,000 troops. do not think
we can conquer the F1iiplnos inside
OF three or four years by our present
method Of warfare. The natives
have got too strong for us. They
are well up In most modern methods
Of warfare. and greatly outnumber
us.
ut In absurd 10 think that n few
soldiers in n strange country can
successfully combat a much larger
force who are repienished time and
time again, and who are thoroughly
acquainted with the conditions Of
the country. when you consider
that they are well accllmated and
that their generals are capable men,
believe that II In no wonder that
our troops nnd Il hard to deal with
them"
The statements of Gen. King have
caused more CONSERVATION at the
War department than would the res
ignation Of Gen. Alger. They come
