PATIENCE EXHAUSTED. c Uncle Sam Given a Significant Intimation ' to Spain. | A dispatch from Sau Sebastian, t Spain, to The Temps newspaper, Paris, _ says that in his interview Monday, ? with the Duke of Tetuan, the Spanish * minister for foreign affairs, the United States minister to Spain, General Stew- ^ art Woodford, did not present any y claim for idemuity, but confined the n interview to a moderate phrase in the ^ statement of the great injuries commerce and industry had suffered in the United States through the prolon gation of the Cuban war. ^ General Woodford is said to have added that Secretary Sherman had desired him to declare to the Spanish government that it was evidently iui- j possible for Spain to end the rebellion ^ in a reasonable time, aud, further, * that if the war was continued, Cuba would be devastated and of no utility to Spain or to the Cubans. In conclusion, the United States minister is reported to have insisted ? courteously but firmly upon the necessity of terminating the war, declaring that if it was not terminated by the . end of October, the United States ^ would feel justified in takiDg measures .. to secure the independence of Cuba. q The Duke of Tetuan, according to q the dispatch to The Temps, while pro- j testing against alleged American "pre- ,, tensions," said he would reply officially t< to the United States minister when n the Spanish court returns to Madrid. f< Iu regard to the foregoing a Wash- p ington dispatch of Monday is as fol- 0 lows: si It can be stated, in reference to the e Paris publication, purporting to give * the substance of General Woodford's communication to the Duke of Tetuau K yesterday, that there has been a misapprehension on several importaut . points, notably in respect to an ulti- f inatuin aud the setting of a time limit d for the couclusiou of the war. Instead of fixing the end ot uctoDer next as a the date for the termination of the j, war, that particular date was mentioned as the time when the Spanish court si would return to Madrid from San Se- e bastian, and when, consequently, it I might be iu order to return an answer to the latest representations of the United States government through Mr. n Woodford. It is declared at the state v department that, while Mr. Woodford b did, according to the original idea of fi his instructions, set out the deep iu- a terest the United States had in wit- ii nessing a cessation of the deplorable li conflict in Cuba, he did not deliver is himself of an ultimatum, but simply tl made a statement of our deep interest ii iu a settlement of the Cuban war as a il reasonable explanation for intervening tl in any manner at this time. Mr. a Woodford's telegram regarding his d conference with the duke of Tetuan is i.? now before President McKinley. G ? P FIRMAN RETS A MOUNTAIN. C II Caenar'n Head Property Deeded to the University. Sl Greenville News, Saturday: a Dr. and Mrs. F. A. Miles, of this tl city, have made a deed of gift of their 1 valuable Ciesar's Head property, consisting of the buildings of the famous Ciesar's Head resort and 2,231 acres of valuable land to Furnian uuiversity. q Dr. and Mrs. Miles refused $20,000 in Q cash for this property a few years ago. n The conditions named by the douors j] are that the Furman trustees pay them uti aunuity of $800 and give them free t( board in the hotel, or one of the cot- ?| tages, when the hotel is open. The _ trustees are given absolute control of the property after the first of next i' month. The annuity is to be paid c during the life of both, or either, of j, the donors. u The news of the gift will perhaps about as much surprise the frieuds of Furman aud the public generally as it n will delight them. The first known of (j this public spirited intentiou of Dr. r and Mrs. Miles was last week, when the Furman trustees met in Columbia to elect a president and were presented with a memorial from the owners, who * said they wanted to help the cause 11 of Christian education through Fur- r man. This proposition, it is said, met a with enthusiastic favor. The offer ^ was referred with power to act to the excutive committee, consisting of J. 1 A. Hoyt, G. G. Wells, J. C. Smith, A. 1 J. S. Thomas and C. S. Gardner, with these special members : H. P. McGee, " J. L. Tribble, C. K. Henderson and H. ^ J. Haynsworth. The committee, a 1 few days ago, met and decided to ac- # cept the gift on the terms specified and " gave Dr. and Mrs. Miles due notice of )' s |< us accepiauce. ^ Trying to Boom Cotton.?Within ? u few days there has appeared in the leading newspapers ot this city the following advertisement in big type : "Buy Cotton and Hold It. It Is the K Ouly Cheap Thiug Left." For two days this advertisement 11 was printed. Everybody in Wall ? street noticed it. and wondered that it ; had no brokerage firm's name attached J1 to it. It simply stood for itself. It e was on the face of it a bit of altruistic advice anonymously advanced. In u the course of a day or two Wall street v men found out that the peculiar ad- I vertisement had appeared in all the * leading newspapers from Maine to e Texas, and from the Atlantic to the r Pacific. The cost must have been be- > tween $25,000 and $30,000. A local advertisement firm bandied the mat- C ter, but the partners in the firm de- |i clare that they do not know whence e the advertisement came or what its u purpose may be. All was conducted t with the greatest secrecy, they say. Ii On Wall street the general impression r obtains that the advertisement is de- g signed to bull cotton. v "They'll never do it that way," said (. all the cotton brokers whom a Sun re- v porter saw yesterday. i There was a slight depreciation in i cotton yesterday.?New York Sun, v Friday. e . ? ? si Will Frkkzk thk Frkkjhts.?I)r. ?' Sanders, state health oflicer of Ala- * haina, will soon convene the commit- ' tees of public health of the state for 1 the purpose of laying before them and 1 the governor a plan by which the ' embargo upon the movement of ' freights caused by yellow fever may i be almost wholly removed. The plan consists of using refrigerator cars for listributing freights from infected ocalities. The freights are to he laced in such cars and the latter to ie hermetically sealed and then the emperalure within reduced to freezing ioin:, or below. If a freezing temperature will destroy yellow fever erms in November, why not in Augst or September ! By the time such reights reach their destination they . ould be harmless. Sulphur fumes light also be used in such cars to isinfect freights, the cars not to be pened until they reach their destinaions.

I STILL have on hand a large number ofthe celebrated MILBUKN FARM WAGONS, in sizes from one to Hix liorse. I have them with the extra heavy wide tires and I have them with the ordinary width, and I say, without, qualification that there is no wagon now being manufactured that will compare with the "Milburn" in workmanship, material, finish and durability, and they are ornaments to the public highways and a credit and the pride of all who a:-e so fortunate as to own nop. Tf von Imvfl novnr ?cnn the "Milburn," call and examine tliein. Cheaper Than Ever Before. My supply of BAGGING AND TIES are now in stock and both are of the very best quality, and I am ottering them at prices that will relegate the "second hand" quality to the rear.

NO BUGGY ON THE MARKET IS EQUAL to the CAROLINA BUGGY at the price it is sold. It is not only the best buggy built in the southern states; but is also the best finished, in painting and trimming, while its durability is equal to almost any requirement. The painting never allows it to present a shoddy, makeshift appearance at any stage of its existence. While it is made to sell, it is also made to satisfy the customer and represent a value equal to the price for which it is sold. It is LIGHT AND STRONG and always built of the very best material to be had, and in all stages of its construction it is passed through a thorough, severe and critical inspection by one whose first thought is to have it ^ built as nearpefection as human skill can accomplish. We make them to order or keep them in stock, and it will be to your interest to consult us when in need of a vehicle. THE CINCINNATI BUCCY Can always be purchased from us and at almost any price. We can furnish them in any style desired. When you purchase a Cincinnati Buggy you had better first get our price, for the reason that if you don't you might throw money away.
