Editor The Manning Times:
The war between the English and
the Beers goes merrily on. and to the
great disappointment and chagrln of
the English and their Sympathlsers IN
different parts of the world. the end OF
the struggle is not in sight. To the
surprise of the English the Beers have
not. Us yet. thrown up the sponge IN
acknowledgement of defeat. neither
have they laid down their arms and
submitted 10 the placing on their neckS
by Snub-noSed and tricky EngliShmen
the CALLING yoke of English bondage.
To overthrow Republican govern
ment. and with its overthrow cnSlavc
gallant people. the English are now
waging tiercely AZ unjust and an unholy
war. The object of the war on the part
of the English beyond any doubt. is for
gain. and to crafty an inborn desire
for greedy avariciouSneSS. desire that
is as natural for an Englishman to
possess as it is for water 70 run down
hill. Regardless of the great odds
against them. and the unlimited re-
sources of proud and vindictire foe.
a foe on whose dominion true sun never
sets. these gallant Beers have in every
instance of bloody conflict met with un-
finching valor like men the ter
rible shock OF battle. and on manly fields
of courage these weak but brave people
have met, and with undying praise for
themselves as a people. repe!led the
unholy onSlaughts of the unjust. greedy
and avaricious EngliShmen.

current. it now appears that these gal
liant people will have in the past made
all their noble sacrifices in vain. and
at last these game people will have to
Weld TO overwhelming numbers and
brute force on the part of their over
numerous English foe.
The English army now number on
Boer territory according to English ac-
counts. two hundred and thirteen thous-
and men. with three thousand more
heading for the TranSvaal. making in
all an enormous army of two hundred
and sixteen thousand men. To con-
front this mighty host OF greed. the
Beers has but forty-tive thousand men.
Backed by such decided advantage.
every indication now shamefully point
to the triumph OF the English arms.
The grand opportunity has now arrived
for some strong friendly power to in
tervene in behalf of these gallant and
struggling patriots and help them save
their Republican government and their
by perpetuate their national existence.
Some friendly power should now step
in and tell these avariciouS EngliShmen
to take their thieving fingers from the
throatS of those Boer patriots. and de-
mand at once the immediate withdrawal
of their hosts of tyranny from the soil
of people, who by their daring deeds
of valor in this conflict. and by the
noble sacrifices they have made in life
and treasure in defence their national
existance. deserve eternally to be free
people. We believe that the sympathy
OF nine-tenthS of the people OF South
Carolina and the people generally OF
the United States are heart and soul
with these struggling and patriotic peo-
pie. and we do in all sincerit! of heart
bid them God speed in their most holy
resistance to wrong. and may He who
rules the universe and holds the destiny
of all people as it were, in the hollow
of Hand, give them final and signal
victory. and may their numerous enc
mics now soon be ANONYMOUSLY driven
from their shores, and may these gal
liant people still retain their position
among the Republican governments OF
the world and remain forever free from
the paws of the greedy and avaricious
British lion.
