TO NAME THE WAR.
Superintendent of education May-
field has written a letter to the pub
lic urging the necessity for Southern
writers to agree on a name for the
war between the States of 1860 —65.
He wants them to take a name that
will convey at once the principles
for which Southern soldiers fought.
He expresses as bis opinion that it
best be called “The States Rights
War.’’
Speaking on this line the Charles
ton News and Courier says:
We agree hearily with Mr. May-
field in most that he says, and only
differ from him materially indeed as
to the perfect propriety of the name
which he suggests. Our own opinion
on the subject of the best name to be
adopted was expressed yesterday at ‘
some length, and we see no reason to
change it. As wc a rid then, toe long
continued contest for States’ Rights
ended when the Southern States se.-
coded. The war that followed was
not for States’ Rights but for the in
dependence of the Slates whose
rights were no longer respected. The
South was invaded and ravaged for
four years not to overthrow the doc
trine of States’ Rights but to re
store it by force to the Union from
which it sought to escape, and it
waged war on its part solely to repel
the invaders and to free itaelf from a.
Government whose changed charac
ter and attitude were best represent*
ed by the invading armies..
If States’ Rights had been the on
ly issue, the contest would have been
continued in the Union, or the
Northern States would have been
well content for the Southern States
to have seceded and carried that is-
sue out of the Union with them. As
it was, the issue was clearly and
plainly the right of the seceding
States to form a Government of their
own. On that issue the war was
fought, and it was the only ispue set
tied by the result of the struggle.
This, it seem to Us, is a true and
plain statement of the plainest fact
of the war, and, if so, it would be a
misnomer to call the wat “The States
Rights War.” It Was a-war for the
independence of-the Southern States,
nothing-more, nothing less, and the
beat name for it we think would be
the best name that would set forth
this truth—that is, •‘The War for
Southern Independence.

King of Medicines
Scrofulous Huntor—A Cure
“ Almost Miraculous.”
•• 'When I was 14 years of age J had a severe
attack of rheumatistn, and after X recovered
had to go on crutches. A year later, scrofula,
in the form of white swellings, appeared on
various parts of my body, and for 11 years I
was an' lnvaUd, being confined to my bed
yean. In that time ten or eleven sores ap
peared and broke, cansing me great pain and
suffering. I feared I never should get.well.
“ Early In 18881 went to Chicago to visit a
sister, hut was confined to my bed most of the
time I was there. In July I read a book, 1 A
Day with a Circus,’ in which were statements
of cures by Ilood's Sarsaparilla. I was so im
pressed with the success of this medicine that
I decided to try It. To my great gratification
the sores soon decreased, and I began to feel
better and in a short time I was up and
out of doors. I continued to take Hood’s Sar
saparilla for about a year, when, having used
six bottles, I had become so fnlly released
from the disease that I went to work for the

I am now 27 years of age and can walk as well
as any one, except that one limb is a little
shorter than the other, owing to the loss of
bone, and the sores formerly on my right leg.
