war prices" have become evident
in Columbia not only in the price of
food stuffs but also in the price of
board and room for University stu
dents. An advance of from so cents
to 81 a month in room rent and from
25 to IS cents week in board accom-
panied the influx of students this
month.
Many landladies report excellent

WHAT Is ENGLAND DOING!

A favorite tale for generations o
the child of Saxon heritage is thai
of the Spanish Armada, whose sails
came I'D the channel in 1888 and met
there an English people united
against the power which dared con-
test their supremacy on the sea.
The Armada of that day numbered
13O ships. These entered the channel
boldly and fought nine days with the
little feet of English seamen and
fishermen. Then England sat as mis-
tress of the seas until the days OF
Nelson. who, English fishermen say,
was the ghost of Drake, victor over
the Armada.
The third crisis of England's mari
time history is now upon her. No
white-sailed ships have threatened
her. No great fleet has descended
upon her shores. , Yet English ship
ping has been more endangered and
the fear in English hearts greater
than in the days Of the Armada.
Again the safety of England has lain
in the hands of her fishermen, and
they have answered the trust as well,
if not as romantically, as they did in
the days Of Drake and Nelson.
The auxiliary fleet! 1t is a poor
phrase to cover the bravery and ac-
complishments of the trawlers and
drifters whose duty it has been since
the war began to keep the seas clear
of mines and submarines and to res
cue ships and men when vigilance
failed to destroy the hidden enemy.
Small glory lies in the monotony and
fatigue of the constant patrol of the
waters of the English Channel and
the North Sea.
The dangers are all those of land
fighting with the menace of the sea,
their inscrutable mother addeG.
The rewards are not even those of
mention in the lists of the killed and
wounded in battle. Yet to these
sailors, manning countless small
ships, working under organization
which Englishmen clamor to under
stand, the right little, tight little
island" has been able to resist the
sea triumphs of years Of German
scientific thoroughness and maintain
both her own commercial integrity
and the commercial isolation of Ger
many.
What is England doing? Listen to
Alfred Moves, who has been among
the trawler fleet for weeks:
"The sea-power of England rests
secure in her possession Of vast,
sea-going brood, which today, as in
the days of the Armada, occupies its
business. from childhood to old age,
in great waters"
Both England and her Allies rest
securely for the existence of the
auxiliary fleet. Slow in France the
Island Empire may have been, but in
her work in clearing the seas England
has done the biggest single task Of
the war. The task, undone. meant
the sure triumph of German arms.
What is England doing? In the
face Of public criticism from the press
Of England and her Allies, the
auxiliary fleet has been doing quietly
the thing that seemed best to do,
hard, unpicturesque duty, without the
romance Of the fight against the
Armada Yet the trawlers have as
truly saved England as did the fleets
Of Drake and Nelson.

bigger things in that line and heard
louder noises than salute with a
three-pounder discharged with a

US as warriors coming home triumph

a lot of the boys felt that way them

way encouraged the feeling in the

The Ocala Star says that Florida
should be divided at the Suwanee
river, that the peninsula state should
lie left with the name FLORIDA" and
that the western division be called
Chattahoochee, after it's big river, all
of which is quite foolish. What is
needed is North and South Florida,
with the southern state beginning
somewhere in the latitude of Gaines
vile, making southern state with
the sub-tropical features that give
distinction to the lower peninsula.
Miami Metropolis.
The Star is much more polite than
the Metropolis, else it would retort
that that paper was quite foolisher.
We respectfully submit that North
Florida and South Florida would
sound more like two sections of one
state than two separate states. The
name Florida was given to the PENN
sula by it's discoverer, and was after
ward arbitrarily attached to the en-
tire province by some person over in
Spain, who knew nothing, and prob
ably cared less, for the natural char
acteristics of the territory. The trop-
ical features that go with the name
Florida are all in the peninsula, the
rest of the state is like Southern and
Middle Georgia. The Chattahoochee
is one of Americas great rivers; it is
just as honorable and much more USE
full than the poetic Suwanee. On this
question we are willing to leave it to
the state press which is foolish, or
the more foolish, the Star or its
rather ill-mannered contemporary, the
Miami Metropolis.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION

The question to be decided at the
meeting to be held at the courthouse
Monday morning, is>whether or not to
call for an election to decide on an
issue of bonds for better roads for
Marion county.
The Star has no idea at this time
what decision the meeting will come
to. We have heard of delegates be-
ing chosen in several precincts, and
we presume that others viii be rep
resented. We are informed that
Martel and Anthony are against
bonds; that Dunnellon, Lowell and
Fairfield are for them; but we have
not received official intipation from
these or any others.
The first thing to decide will be, of
course, whether to ask for an election
or not. If the question is decided in
the negative, that will end it for this
year. 1t will not end it for any long
time, for we know all our people want
good roads, and we believe that most
of them are willing to bond for them.
But majority may prefer to wait a
year or two, or even longer. In case
even large minority desires to wait,
it would be best to accede to its
wishes. There is no sort of an cleo
ton in which the cheerful approval
of large majority is so necessary
as in bond election. We would pre-
fer to see bonds beaten to seeing
them win by small margin, because
you can't very well carry on any pub
lie improvement If a large proportion
of the people feel that they are be-
ing unjustly taxed for it. Therefore,
we do not think it would be wise for
the meeting Monday to favor an cleo
ton unless it is the belief of it's mem
bers that good majority, at least
three in five, will vote for bonds.
We hope the meeting will consider
carefully and decide wisely. We should
not like to have the county put to the
expense and irritation of an useless
contest.

18th, just four years from the time
Maj. Anderson surrendered, the Union
forces occupied the ruined pile of
what had been Fort Sumter, and again
raised, with imposing ceremonies the
same flag lit is said) that Maj. An
derson hauled down when he surren-
dered to Gen. Beauregard.
But have wandered away from my
"reminiscences and drifted into writ
ing history, but not so far after all,
as it was the custom during the long
siege of Sumter to relieve the infan-
try garrison about every ten days or
two weeks and during our stay in
South Carolina the Edisto Rifles were
called upon to serve two such periods
in the fort. 1t was pretty hard and
strenuous service, but it was a proud
service and discharged willingly and
CALAMITY. All of our water and ra-
tons had to be brought to US in the
nighttime and it was quite often a
perilous time for the little steamer to
get to US. The rations were cooked
and when we got it, it was cold but it
was gladly received and eagerly de-
voured by "boys" and many jolly
jokes and witticisms passed around
while we were at it. But this oc-
Cured later on in the progress of the
war, as there were at the time Sum-
ter was occupied by our troops, no
Union troops anywhere on the coast
of Carolina and no war vessels any
where in Carolina waters. There was
therefore, no immediate use for oIr
regiment on Morris Island or else
where on our coast, and it was de-
termined to move US to some place
much more suitable for encampment
and the training of the men in all the
necessary duties of soldier, though
truth to tell, / do not thing that a
great many of our people had any
idea at that time that the war would
be of any great duration, SO that our
stay on Morris Island terminated on
the 21st of May 81, when we were
ordered to Orangeburg which place
we reached on the morning of the
23rd and went into camp in an old
| field about a mile east of the railroad
station.
Little did we think when we broke
camp on Morris Island (which I have
already said was at or very near the
place where Battery Wagner was aft
erwards built) that at that same place
later on in the war the Edisto Rifles
passed through some of the most
trying, bitter and horrifying exper-
fences that we met with during the
entire war, and when / say that
say a great deal. But 7 will not un.
dertake to tell you about all thai
now, as this number has about reach,
ed a sufficient length, and if I begin te
tell of the experiences at Battery
Wagner l will be sure to go beyond
the room the Star would graciously
grant me for one issue.
I will rather go back now to oul
coming back to Orangeburg-tht
home of so many of the Edisto Rifle.
and men of some of the other com
panies. Of course, the news of oul
coming had preceded US, and there
was repetition of the scenes of oul
departure a little more than 81,
weeks before, except the old Lore

Cats now contends, in his fight
against Knott in the courts, that the

OF course, his principal objection to
them is that too many of them were
cast for Knott-Lakeland Telegram.
If Cats had announced before the
primary that he didn't intend to abide
by the second choice votes, he would
not have been allowed to be candi-

There lies before US a copy of the
0cala Mail and Express, dated May
10, 1897. 1t tells among other things
Of the contest in the Florida legisla-
ture for the election of an United
States senator. There were six cam
didates- Chipley, Stockton, Raney,
Hooker, Burford and Palmer. The
contest had been going on for weeks,
with no end in sight. 1t was bitter
and disgraceful, and yet some people
want to do away with the primary.
None of the candidates named were
elected, the legislature finally COM
promising on S. r. Mallory of PEN
sacola. Messrs. Alfred Aver and w.
X. Zewadski represented Marion
county in the '97 legislature. DR.. S.
III. Bitch was state senator.
