The big crowd that was in Yorkville last Wednesday was sober and wellbebaved. The fact does not argue that whisky is not to be had, or that it won't intoxicate and make beast of people; but that this crowd was a genteel self-respecting one that knows how to behave itself.

Thinks Mr. Montgomery Should Be Paid. Mr. O. J. Gwin, of Olive, who was foreman of the coroner's jury that investigated the murder of Ben Goore, was in Yorkville on Wednesday. He told how Mr. John Harvey Montgomery went down into the well at the risk of his life; how, if it had not been for Mr. Montgomery's voluntary work, there would have been much more trouble in investigating the contents of the old well, etc., and he thinks that Mr. Montgomery ought to be paid at least $25 for the service rendered. There is no question of the fact that Mr. Montgomery is entitled to pay for what he did and should have it. But, unfortunately, there is no well-defined method by which he can be paid from the public funds. The county board of commissioners can pay him if it chooses; but it has no especial warrant of law for so doing, and as to whether it would, depends upon the view the members may' take of the case. Another way to get at the matter is through the legislature. It is right that Mr. Montgomery should have pay; but the question is, how is he going to get it. HOUDTOWN HAPPENINGS. Condition of the Crops?Protracted Meeting?Personal Mention. Correspondence of th? Yorkville Enquirer. Hoodtown, July 28.?Most of the farmers in this section are through work with the exception of late corn, etc. The recent rains have improved old corn wonderfully. Cotton is making a fine weed ; but not fruiting so well. However, the crop prospect is bright as compared with the outlook a few weeks ago. Peaches and watermelons are now in abundance; but apples are scarce and small. Miss Mamie Crosby opened the school here Monday, the 25th instant. A protracted meeting has been in 4 progress at Sbiloh since Saturday evening. Rev. Chapman is being assisted by Rev. Cleary, a young minister from Gaffney. Protracted services are expected to begin at Shady Grove the first Sabbath in next month. Mrs. Sallie E. Hood and daughter, Ida, and Mr. and Mrs. Lester H. Good, who have been at Piedmont Springs about two weeks, are expected home in a day or two. Miss Berta Smith and mother, of Bullock's Creek, have also been at the springs the past week. Miss Clara Chapman is visiting friends in this neighborhood and attending the services at Shiloh. Mrs. Biggers, an aged lady who has made Arkansas her home for many years, is visiting relatives here. She is accompanied by her son, Mr. J. H. Biggers. Mr. T. M. Grant was called to the bedside of his brother-in-law, Mr. RufF, of Chester county, last Friday. He was not expected to live ; but is now improving. Mrs. Mary E. Feemster and little Lizzie Feemster leave today for a few days' visit to the family of Mr. \V. L. Plexico at Clay Hill. Miss Lucy and Master Mack Hood have been quite sick for several days ; but at this writing seem a little better. Mr. Jos. L. Dowdle, who has been quite ill, is slowly improving. Voce. Language of Flags.?To "strike the flag" is to lower the national color _ r ?i 1?: t>i - iu lOKeii ui suuLuissiuu. nags art; used as the symbol of rank and command, the officers using them being called flag officers. Such flags are square, to distinguish them from other banners. "A flag of truce" is a white flag displayed to an enemy to indicate a desire for a parley or consultation. The white flag is the sign of peace. After a battle parties from both sides ofteu go out to the field to rescue the wounded or bury the dead, under the protection of white flag. The red flag is a sign of defiance, and is often used by revolutionists. In our service it is a mark of danger, and shows a vessel to be receiving or discharging her powder. The black flag is the sign of piracy. The yellow flag shows a vessel to be at quarantine, and is the sign of contagious disease. A flag at half-mast means mourning. Fishing and other vessels return with a flag at half-mast to announce the loss or death of some of the men. Dipping a flag is lowering it slightly and then hoisting it again, to salute a vessel or fort. If the president of the United States goes afloat, the American flag is carried in the bow of his barge or hoisted at the main of the vessel on board of which he is. NEWS OF FRIDAY. Snmmary of War Developments Up to 5 O'Clock P. M. By Telegraph to The Yorkville Enquirer. President's Peace Conditions. Washington, July 29.?It can now be stated as a fact that President McKinley's answer to Spain's peace overtures will not be made until next week. The reason of the delay is because it is considered important to have information from Admiral Dewey and General Merritt as to the situation in the Philippine islauds. From the general atmosphere pervading the White House and war and navy departments, there is reason to believe that the president will lay down as conditions precedent to the appointment of peace commissioners by this country some pretty strong demands, compliance of with which will h? ornllinp to Snain in the extreme. o? o ? ~ < ? First, it is said that there will be a demand for the withdrawal of all Spanish troops from Cuba and Porto Rico. Then there must be a public acknowledgement of the relinquishment of all claims to territory in the West Indies, after which diplomatic relations must be resumed where they were broken off by the summary expulsion of Minister Woodford from Madrid, without giving that official the opportunity to present the ultimatum of the United States. As soon as Spain sees her way to agree to the terms outlined, the probability.is peace commissioners will be appointed to settle the trouble. Blaming Shafter. Complaints are being received from Santiago to the effect that the wounded at Santiago are not getting the attention their condition requires, or that they ought to have under all the circumstances. There is a lack of ambulances and other accommodations. The blame is laid on General Shafter. Hunger In Havana. Key West, July 29.?Advices from Havana are to the effect that hunger is claiming its victims by the hundred. Already there have been bread riots in which two bakers were killed. The Spanish soldiers in Havana believe that Camara's fleet has sailed to their assistance. NEWS FROM THE WAR. Brief Summary of Published Press Dispatches. With the exception of the landing of American troops on the soil of Porto Rico, and more definite talk of peace proposals, the war news for the past few days has not been especially interesting. General Miles took possession of the little village of Guanica, on the southwest coast of Porto Rico, last Monday. The expedition consisted of 12 ships, including five warships. There were 4,000 soldiers, artillery horses, etc. There was a pretty strong force of Spaniards at Guanica to resist the landing ; but the Massachusetts, Columbia and Gloucester soon put them to flight. The Gloucester sent a party ashore to haul down the Spanish and raise the American flag. As the Spanish flag was being hauled down, some Spanish troops fired upon the Americans from rifle pits. The Americans replied with machine guns, killing at least four Spaniards. No American was hurt. After the rout of the Spaniards, a detachment of marines took possession of the village and proceeded to fortify it, according to the Spanish wire fence plan. As the Spaniards are said to have no wire cutters, it was not thought that they could give much more trouble. Some Spanish cavalrymen appeared on the shore, a considerable distance a\vay, shortly after the landing of the marines; but they were driven away by the warships. All of the transports and warships anchored in the harbor, which is said to be the best on the coast of Porto Rico. The latest news from the expedition was published in the morning papers of Wednesday and Thursday. Ex-Secretary of State John Sherman gives the following as the probable peace terms that the United States will propose to Spain : "1. That the Spanish soldiers leave the island of Cuba and that Spain give up all claim to it. "2. That Spaiu give Porto Rico to the United States. "3. That Spain pay an indemnity to be decided upou later. "4. That the United States shall have a coaling station in the Philippines." Major General Shafter reports that on July 27 the total number of sick in his army around Santiago was 4,122 ; the total fever cases was 3,193. During the day 542 men returned to duty and 822 new cases of fever developed. There were two deaths from yellow fever during the day. Five transports, containing about 3,000 soldiers with horses, artillery and other supplies, left Newport News on last Thursday for Porto Rico. Karl J. Anderson, a seaman on the Brooklyn, was killed off Santiago last Wednesday by the accidental explo r i . 1 n 1_ aL.A siou oi a i-pounci ?panisn sneu mat he had smuggled from oue of the recently destroyed Spanish cruisers. "The terms which the United States government will find aecen.able as a basis of peace are being reduced to form by Secretary Day, the president having reached a conclusion on their outlines," says a Washington dispatch of Thursday. "These terms were the formal subject of iuterest and discussion today in official circles. If the president's purpose was to secure a free expression of public opinion on this subject he has been gratified with the response made through the newspapers and in the exhibition of interest by government officials in the complex problem now presented. Al though it was stated yesterday that no announcement of the position assumed by the United States in this matter would be forthcoming before it had been formally discussed in the cabinet tomorrow, there is the best reason to believe that after the full conferences the president has had individually with the members of his cabinet, he has already made up bis own mind, and that Secretary Day has even now practically reduced to form the reply that the United States government will make to the Spanish goverment's overture through Ambassador Cambon."

Gentlemeu: I beg leave to acknowledge receipt of check on National Park Bank of New York in the sum of Five Thousand Dollars in full settlement of policy of insurance on the life of F. A. Gilbert, deceased, in your company (Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association). I have at the same time received check for insurance upon the life of his wife in same company.

Lewis, Administrator Of the estate of F. A. Gilbert and M. K. Gilbert, deceased. P. S.?If the late Frank A. Gilbert had taken an ordinary life policy in an Old System Company and paid the same amount in premiums as he paid the Mutual Reserve, bis estate would only have received $2,490 instead of $5,000. Gain by being insured in the Mutual Reserve, $2,510. Mr. Gilbert dropped a $3,000 policy in one of the largest Old Lines to take the $5,000 insurance in the Mutual Re serve.

Let us prepare our lands with the same thought and care as the general and his staff prepares for battle; let us sow an abundant crop of wheat, oats and pease, together with grasses and clover, and the fields will bloom in all their glory while the martial music of the war will be drowned with the fairy-like song of the birds in the spring, and peace ana plenty will most likely be our reward.
