Wednesday August 6, - - - 1898 OUR ALLIES. Mr. X. (jr. Gonzales' lettors in the State are read with a great deal of ia-1 terest. He has won a reputatien for a*cnrate statement. and what he says of Gen. Gomez's army should have great weight with tho?e who knew j Air. Gonzales. His letters are valuable to show the charaeterof the Cuban army. Both Mr. Gonzales and Winthrop Chandler testify that the officers of Gomez's aray are culjured and polished gentlemen. Now we have the testimony of Gea. Lwton, whose valuable services at Santiago cannot be denied. He is an A.m?rican General, and Ike position occupied by him at Sai tiago fully flt? him to judge of the character of the Cubans under Garcia. He eays that Garcia's army came into the American camp "as ragged sts Falstaff's Gadshill force", but Gen. Lawton adds that after the Americans had clothed and fed them "you would never know the clean, alert, ready man of to-day, who bring* bis piece up smartly to the ?alute as I pass, as the ragged, halt-starved, wholly dirty refngee who constituted the so-called army under Garcia." We have referred to this very trustworthy testimony because there has - i :n oeen an apparent suucme uicmu^iu some qnarter3 to minimize the services of the Cubans and to craate the impiession in this country that they were , . not only cowards, but barbarians, It wa?5 asserted that they refused to dig trenches. It was asserted that some of then maltreated Spanish prisoners and that if they were permitted to enter Santiago they trould plunder the cilT stnd massacre tke inhabitants. If \ | tkey were kalf-starrei, feow ceujd they tn /In ltorr? m?7inal U*T& UWil w ? labor? We tiink the Coba*s should be given a trial, and not prejudged. It ought not to be forgotten that 6ome ef ?or own soldiers disgraced the army in Charleston, that a citizen wag brutally murdered by an American soldier in Charleston, that American soldiers looted a saloon in Tampa a few days ago, that American soldiers have been shot by fanners at Chicka maoga for plundering pcach rcbards, ana yet we would be indignant if the world should say that our army was composed of murderers and thieves. The truth Is that there are toughs in every army, and thousands of them mav be foand in the American amy as well as in the Cukan. Whether Garcia wrote that letttr to Shafter or not, if the facts stated are true, the Cubans have jast ground to complain. We have accepted the Cubans a3 o?r allies. By a resolution of their Government, they consented to co-operate with the Americans, yet it is said that Garcia, whoso army formed part of the forces arrayed against the city of Santiago, was not consulted as to the terms of surrender, and more than that was not even notified of the actual fact of the surrender, nor was be invited to take part in the formal raising of the American flag. If these things are true, then Gen. Sbafter has ^ a r?V\ UC(7M gUillJ U1 Sb vitavu V4 v?*unan good manners, and we think that, if tb? things stated are trne, tbe Cubans have jist grounds to feel offended. Spanish officsrs of Santiago are left in control. This eertainly is anomolous to leave y?ar enemy in control of tbe administration of justice, especially when the war was begun on the ground that the rule of your enemy was tyraanicai and even barbarous.. ^ * '? 211 Sit ine UBDaQ3, mey- say, win [Jiuuuex and pillage the city and commit murder, if they are allowed to enter. We hare aceused the Spaniards of sucli things. If we can not control the Cubans, how can we trust and control he Spaniards? An official explanation is in order. Spain is now beginning to realize the utter hopelessness of continuing! the war* A ^reat deai ?f peace talk has been joiag on for some tiwe, and through the French Ambassador Spain inqiires wietker our Government is willing to ose* kegotiations for pea?p. Naturally there is much speculation as to the terms ot peace. SpaiD has lost her navy, her land forces Won in p.vsrv ensrasre ment up to the present time, and she has practically lost the Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rica. It seems conceded that the United States -will hold Porto Iiico as their own territory, and, of course, Cuba will be lost to Spain. The perplexing question will be as to the disposition of the Philli pines. Thoy ought not to remain to Spain. Aguinaldo's services deserve a b?t;er fate, but we do not believe that the United States should retain these islands. W* ought to be satisied to drive Spain off the Western TT*iv>;atVh?r<v *r,d then no conmlica tions as to the future operation of the Monroe doctrine *ili arise.

Editor: It was my pleasure to accept a pressing invitation from the sheriff of Newberry to attend tbe court of Generai Sessions in that I /wvnnttr wapIt. fhe occasion beinsr the investigation of the charge of murder preferred, by the State, 3gainst Robert T. aad James Blair of this county?iogetbe? with five white and two colored men of Newberry county. The standing of seme of the parlies charged and the connection soae of tbem had with the recent crime 01 arson and burglary at Pomaria have excited much interest in the two counties in the trial of the case. Over two hundred witnesses were bound over to testify and Attorneys Georje Johnstons aid Welsh assisted the solicitor in the proiecuti?u while the defense was in charge of Messrs. E. B. Ragsdale, Hunt & Hu?t abd Jas. Culbreath, an array ?f legal talent seldom seen in one oase. xne iriai engaged the attention of the court, Judge Klough presiding, over three days when, after a deliberation of perhaps less than an hour the jury returned a veraicc ox not kui ny as iw all the parties under charge. It should be especially gratifying to the relatives and friends of the Blair brothers to know that the State, assisted by George Johnstone, one of the most, able and astute lawyers in the State with the services of "Liquor Constable Lefar and John Henry Ghappell, in scouring the cou?!ry a6 detoc.ives for months, completely failed to make out a case against thtn. While all the speeches were able those of Ragsdale and Johnstone may b? mentioned as features of the t??oi of John Henry Chappell was very severe as was also his exposure of the "hidden hand at Pomaria" who were using this prosecution te get rid of certain parties obnoxious to them. The ingenuity, tact and eloquence of George Johnstone came alarmingly near creating a noose oat of the very flimsy gassy testimony which the detectives had rated ud for the State. Briefly stated the facts of the case are that the Blairs pursued and captared near Pomaria a upgro woman who bad rebbed Eobl. Blair's hoase at Ridgeway, that ia the ^pursuit they were joiaed by certain parties at Peaks and Pomaria. Having captured the w?man about dark they tied her band? behind her hack and to a bench in the railway waiting room at Pomaria; locked the door and went to a private residence for supper. When they returnta ma uuor iu ui? naituig j room was broke* open and the woman gone. They looked for her a short while, failed to find her, premised a reward for her apprehension and retarn home. The woman has not been seen since. The State tried " > prove that she had been murdered i a ?sme brake star Ponaria. All of occurred in January 1895.

CANING THE SHERIEF. Appreciating the kind consideration shown the defendants, Blair, by the popular and efficient sheriff, Mr. Bnford, afnnd was collected by Mr. T. W.

J A VE'tfY DI50KDEB.LV >XE?TX3iU. Candidates Speak Under DiMculties? ScrncB of 1SS0 Aln?ost Paralleled. T* Fairfield belongs the great discredit of reviving the "howling down" tactics which charaeterized the earn, paign of 1S90. For the first time since the *State canvass opened tne candidates were confronted by a howling, drunken mob who disgraced themselves and their county by their disgusting efforts to i iterrupt the speakers. The disorder wa?,' perhaps, somewhat milder in form than that which characterized the meetings of 1SS0 and r-f sn'hspnnp.nt' ^amnaicrns. but the same old spirit of rowdyism was there, and ihat?rcinforced and inflamed by very bad whiskey is responsible for an exhibition that was an outrage against decency. It must be said, however, that the disorder was not general, only a few of the spectators were concerned in it. These, however, took their position directly in front ot the speakers' stand, and they succeeded " - T_? ^ very wen in maKing speasing- xor nearly all of the candidates a practical impossibility. Of the Candida es for gubernatorial honors Gov Ellerbe was the only one who was allowed to .speak without interruption. All of the ctber gentlemen sjcnt nearly the whole ot their allotted time in remonstrating with the howlers. Several of the candidates told a reporter for Thk News and Herald that this is the only place that any disorder whatever has occurred, and they all seemed surprised and disappointed at their treatment here. They are not inclined to hold the town and county responsible ior ine aiFgusung antics of a few. Senator Ragsdale, the chairman of the meeting did everything in bis power to secure a respectfal hearing for the speakers. The first speakers were the candidates for the office of secretary of Slate, Messrs. Tompkins and Cooper. Mr. Cooper said that Tompkins was a member of the dispensary board when fViQ lincinocc trroa a?r?rl fhp. I LIS* i WOklW MUOiUVU^ If m vv. v.wv* dispensary disgraced. He ridiculed Mr. Bradham's refusal to hsld an office connected with the dispensary. Gen. Watts sail that Col. Floyd bad ch&rgcd bina with mud slinging. This charge he denied emphatically, and stated that Floyd hat. uever been able to specify a single iostaaw ?f mud sliuging cn his part. Col. Fiayd referred to the fact, that Watts had been educated by the State and had been in the Adiutant General's office in some capacity for eight years. This he said was enough State pap for one man. Watts Lad said he (Floyd), didn't deserve the office because be was not & South Carolinian. Col. Floyd said he was u South Carolinian frem preference while VVatls was one because he could not help himself. Col. Floyd's speech wa? decidedly eloquent. * - i? iiajor Jiiyme, anoiuer cauuiuaiu the Adjutant General's office, was the next speaker. He made a plain, straightforward argument and attacked no one. He gave his military rocord aaa stated that as he is a graduate of the Citadel, and had b??n assistaat J - . - _ _ J _ 4 _ A COmmzillU&B L ui. uauets auu iuouui/iui in tactics at Clemson for three years,, he had sufficient theoretical and prac? tieal military training to enable him tr fill satisfactorily the office he sought. Major Blythe mad? a good impression. Mr. McMahaD, a candidate .for Superintendent of Education, was next introduced. He is a Fairfield man and was given a warm greeting by the crowd. He was glad, he said, to speak I to the people of his native comnty, and expressed his regret that Mr. Mayfield, one of his opponents, was not present. He wished to introduce him to the people of Fairfield. Mr. McMahan said he was firmly convinced that the school system of South Carolina is badly in need of reform, and he thought the needed changes could be made by careful and intelligent work. He was enthusiastically applauded at the conclusion of his remarks. Col. Rice said he had been Superintendent of Education of South Caro lina from 1886 to 1890 and was perfectly wiliiag (o stand on the record he had" made in office. He believes that the Superintendent of Education should spend his time visitiog the count}- schools ar.d not in the state house. The schools should be placed in reach of the poor man. 2Ar. urown wno is aiso a caBoic.aie for lliis office, said it was the duty of the people to improve the vammon schools as the inijority ?f children coald net havo the advantage of a college education. Jle promised to exert kiinself in this diiection if electcd. Ylii ajijaaranee of Mr. C. U. Faath erstene, th? prohibition candidate for Governor, was the signal for the howlers to commence work. Mr. Featherstone appealed to ihem to allow him a bearing, but without success, and he i bad a hard time making himself heard. wMMn'nA1 ne th/v ronrocor?fnt?\wa r\f ! , IUC i U liUXU^ uo it\s I V[#1VCV??IM?I( V -? the people who want prohibition, and L13 gave the dispeusary system ^omc bard punclios.
