A free population, ambitious to get
the benefit of its own labor and enter

With freedom will come more general

lean life will result. By way Of con-
trast, remarks the San Francisco Call.
Mexico and Sweden and Norway offer
an interesting study. Mexico, with
pecnage and restricted education, has
wonderful and rich variety of nat
ural resources. Sweden and Norway,
with a cold and rather sterile country,
have individual freedom, and are the
only countries in the world in, which
every grown man can read and write.
Therefore the Scandinavians have pros
perity, good homes and general ana
splendid civilization, while Mexico,
with friendly climate and great nat
ural resources, lags behind. But the
signs Of advancement are many and
encouraging, and there is every reason
for taking a cheerful view of the future
of our sister republic.

AS her batteries bore she hurled their
messengers Of death into the crowded
masses on the Spanish ships. Although
dismayed by the collision, the gunners
on the frigate made a spirited reply
with a discharge which at such close
range did much execution.
Unfortunately for her, the Mary Rose
had rushed so close to the two en-
tangled ships that it was impossible
for her to escape hitting them. The
English captain would have given any
thing if he could have gone free Of
the mass, for he could have passed
under the stern Of the two helpless
ships, raked them and probably would
have had them q. his mercy, but his
dash at them had been an earnest
one, and in orc r to carry out his plan
successfully he had been forced to
throw his ship right upon them. There

The Bell Buzzard Killed.
(To Be C~ontiaued.)

The belIed buzzard, which aImost
everv Que has heard SO much about all
their lives, or one of bis aliases, has
been run down and put to death. A
about once a year for years and years
past a buZzard has been seen in this
county with a bell, and has caus-
ed a great deal of speculation as
to where it came from, it's history,
ETC. The buzzard has been seen a num-
Der Of times lately. and q few days ago
1t was found that the buzzard roasted
on Rocky River some miles from the
city, and a citizen living in that
vicinity determined to solve the mys-
terry. So n night a few days ago
when the buzzard came to the roost-
ing place the said citizen was on hand
with his shot gun and to make q
long story short he killed the buzzard.
To kill a buzzard is a crime against
the State Of South Carolina. and hence
the citizen shall be nameless The
bell is a small brass affair about one
and a half inches in diameter and Of
excellent quality, and of a pattern not
often seen here. It was fastened
around the buzzard's neck with q
piece Of wire about the size of tele-
phone wire. and seemed to have been
put on by some ore who knew his
business. It did not seem to be much
worn, but as 8 matter Of fact as a
buzzard flies, except when he makes
sudden turns or executes some fancy
manoeuvres, he flies as steady as a
canal boat going down stream with a
slow current. There is no inscription
or anything whatever on the bell to
indicate who rut it on or VIXEN, and
the subject is still as much Of a mys-
terry to those interested in it as it ever
was. The citizen who killed the buzz

Of the English crew. They had elimi-

they were rapidly approaching the

from the poop deck to make a personal
inspection Of his frigate before begin:

his taste and passed along the lines Of
silent men ~congregated around the
guns with words of stern appreciation.

mind the men, either, that they fought
with halters around their necks.
"Hornigold," said Morgan as he
stepped up on the quarter deck again,
"I want the frigate to pass as close to

can bring her without touching. Let
her not suspect our desire, but whirl
into her as we get abreast. Don't fall
