Adjutant General Gorbin has prepared tbis statement of the number of deaths which have occurred in the army since the beginning of the war with Spain : In Cuba, 1,399 ; in Porto Rico, 77 ; at Honolulu, 49 ; in Philippines, 664; ic the Uuited States, 4,874. ? In Boston, last Monday, the executive committee of the Anti-Imperialist League elected, among others, the following additional vice presidents: Seuator Donelson Caflfery, of Louisiana ; Ex-Congressman W. Bourke Wom Vnrt William H. VyOUtllttUy yjl x v* , ........? Fleming, of Georgia; ex-Congressman Henry U. Johnson, of Indiana ; President David Starr Jordan, of Stanford University ; Prof. Herman Von Hoist, of Chicago University ; Senator B. R. Tillman, of South Carolina. It was also resolve^ to promulgate the following resolution : "That the Anti Imperialist League Bhould take immediate steps to establish and encourage close relations with all associations and individuals throughout the country who are opposed to the imperial policy, with a view to organizing all the elements of opposition to this policy for the most effective and united political action at the proper time." ? The section on Reformatories and Industrial Schools of the National Conference of Charities and Corrections. in session in Cincinnati, O., was addressed one day last week by Geo. Torrence, of Pontiac, 111., superintendent of the Illinois State reformatory, on "The Relation of the Cigarette to Crime." After reciting his experience with boys coming to his institution, Mr. Torrence said : "I am sure cigarettes are destroying boys and making criminals of more of them than the saloons." In his reformatory, he said, there are now 278 boys. Of 93, ayeraging 12 years of age, 58 were cigarette smokers. Of 133, averaging 14 . years of age, 125 were cigarettes smokers. Of 82, averaging 15 years, 73 were cigarette smokers. This demonstrates, be said, that 92 per cent, of the whole number were cigarette smokers at the time of committing crime's for which they were committed to the reformatory. ? The Southern Presbyterian General Assembly, in session at Richmond, Va., on last Wednesday, made the following deliverance in answer to the overture about ministers marrying runaway couples : "The assembly is of the opinion that it would be both unwise and inexpedient to attempt to lay down any inflexible rule for the guidance of the ministry in relation to the performance of this ceremony? the great bond of society. It is believed that an enlightened conscienoe and the laws of the land are, as a rule, the safest and only guides to be followed in such cases. But the assembly cannot forbear to express the opinion that in the cases described in the overture, the greatest prudence and caution should be exercised by the minister ; that he should exert his influence, so far as he can, properly and prudently do so, to prevent such marriages, and only consent to perform the ceremony in those cases where he is satisfied, from all the circumstances, that the best interest of all parties (including the parent or parents) will be subserved by so doing." ? A cable dispatch from Havana to the New York Sun gives the following information : A dispatch from NewYork containing some alleged remarks by General Butler against General Gomez, has greatly angered the latter, who today sent a message to The Sun correspondent, through his secretary, Carlos Manuel Cespedes, saying that be desired to protest against the language of General Butler. He adds that General Butler's reflections on him are due to the failure of the $13,000,000 loan which the Cuban assembly wished to raise to pay the Cuban army, a scheme which General Gomez energetically opposed. General Gomez claims that General Butler was interested in the loan, and did all he could to secure its suecess. GeDeral Gomez opposed it because it was harmful to the interests of the Cuban people, through the large commissions which would have been distributed among the supporters and promoters of the loau. General Butler denies that he made any remarks that reflected on General Gom^z, and claims that although he had been approached to act as au attorney in the promotion of the $13,000,000 loan scheme, he has really had uothing to do with the matter. ? Ex-Governor John Gary Evans, of South Caroliua, who, as a member of General Ludlow's staff, at one lime had charge of the city of Havana, called at the White House today, says a Washington dispatch of Wednesday. He relumed from Cuba about three weeks ago. His accounts of Cuban conditions are most iuterestiug. He is a firm believer in annexation. "If you could have seen the army that marched iuto Havana behind Gomez, you would have acknowledged the impossibility of decent self-government on that island. Of all the heterogenous assemblages ever gathered, this was the worst. Coxey's urmy was a com pany of aristocratic gentlemen by comparison. All this talk about the patriotism of the Cuban army is a myth. They were largely actuated by a desire for plunder and for office. They now want to rule the island because they see their chances of looting the treasury will not be good so long as it remains under American control. To turn the island over to the Cubans would be a worse crime against civilization thau to have allowed the Spanish to rule it." ? Hundreds of postmasters will have their salaries increased on July 1. Every year the salaries of the presidential postmasters are readjusted, and this year the phenomenal increase in the postal receipts will result to the advantage of many of the postmasters, The increase this year can be estimated ' in the millions, and the total receipts I will range between $90,000,000 and j $100,000,000. The returns so far received from the postoffices indicate that as the result of the coming ad- ( justment, in the neighborhood of 100 postoffices will be lifted from the fourth ' class to the third" class, the lowest ' class of presidential offices. About < the same number will go from the i third class to the second class, and , quite a number will be promoted into the first class. Every year a few offices drop back into the next class be- ' low ; but this year such offices will be ' very few. Some of them make tre- f mendous advances one year and lose < them the next. This is often due to ( the establishing in the vicinity of pat- ( ent medicine firms or other industries | which use the mails largely. At times j they send out more mail matter than | at others and the receipts of the office | are correspondingly increased. Then the firms cease advertising for awhile and the receipts drop off. This was noticeable in the case of Lowell last ' month, when the circular advertising of a firm there sent the receipts up 200 per cent, more than those for the cor- i responding month of 1898. i She florhriUc inquirer. YOUKVILLE, S. O.: SATURDAY, MAY 27,1899. ? The Hampton home building fund continues to grow steadily in Charleston and Columbia. There now seems to be no doubt that severeal thousand dollars will be raised. ? The eightieth birthday of Queen Victoria was celebrated throughout the British empire last Wednesday. The queen is in good health and good spirits and bids fair to celebrate more birthdays yet. ? The Southern Presbyterian committee on organic union with the Associate Reformed church, reported to i the general assembly, now in session i at Richmond, a few days ago, that no agreement could be reached and the committe was discharged from further , labors on the matter. ? Governor Ellerbe is again critically ill. He has been at Sellers for a week or more, and the reports from ' bis bedside indicate that his condition is more serious than it has been hereto- ' fore. He has been apparently benefitted somewhat by the cool weather < of the past few days ; but his friends are despondent. 1 ? It is pretty well settled that Secretary Alger intends to be a oandidate for the United States senate from Michigan. He has said so himself, and the matter is exciting much inter est. Senator McMillan, the present incumbent, says he will stand for reelection, and as he is not only reasonably popular, but is possessed of a good-sized barrel?as large as that of Alger?it is not thought that he can be easily defeated. ? There is very general activity in railroad building throughout the south. Quite a number of important projects , have been decided upon and others are under contemplation. It is the old established syndicates that are at the bottom of the activity. They are looking to the improvement and fur- 1 ther development of their property. ' New corporations are not doing a , great deal of work or even talk, and , the old corporations are not doing as i much talk themselves as is being done 1 about them. They are merely fencing with each other for any and every advantage that presents. ( i ? That nupstinn which has been pre seuted to the Presbyterian General Assembly as to whether ministers should marry runaway couples is a pretty hard one. There are few runa- j way couples in this part of the coun- ( try, for instance, who would he much disturbed by the refusal of a minister i to perform the marriage ceremony. They would go to the nearest magis- ! trate, notary public or other civil officer with power to administer a legally binding oath. The general assembly has done well to deal cautiously with the subject. ? Referring to the article in the last issue of The Enquirer on the subject of eligibility of school teachers, one of the trustees calls attention to the fact that in so far as the article gave out the idea that the trustees had officially considered the question of discriminating against local teacboi-o it. wna mislpadine-. The matter, so the trustee says, has never been up in the board for formal discussion. Individual trustees, however, believe that the best interest of the school calls for a resolution discriminating against the employment of local teachers. In this issue, a citizen suggests . the idea of competitive examination as the best solution of the questiou, and, really, this seems to be calculated jo give better satisfaction than arbitrary selection from anywhere. ? Iron i3 generally conceded to be ihe business barometer of the world, and when iron goes up there is hope for improvement in all manner of iniustries. During the past few weeks and still, iron has been advancing very rapidly. Quotations on iron products are usually made with a clause providing for acceDtance by wire, and the intending purchaser is given to understand that he cannot be assured of such prices "tomorrow." There is no loubt that the general business situation is improving all over the country; but at the same time this section is not likely to be immediately affected. II better times are coming they will be here later on. HAMPTON AS A MAN. The Old Statesman Loves His Fellowman More Than Himself. Commenting on The Enquirer's remarks about General Hamptou's sympathetic kindness to bis fellowman, the Columbia State of yesterday had the following: "The Enquirer is right?'there was never a more generous man in this state.' If he had not been generous be would now have ample provision for his old age. For during the last two decades be has received salaries aggregating a very large sum ; so large a sum that an ordinarily selfish and saving man could have set aside a little fortune from the proceeds. "But none has been saved. It is all gone. How was it spent? Not on himself. Few men in high office have ever lived so frugally as Wade Hampton. He has allowed himself no luxuries, has bad no expensive habits, has not speculated nor invested his surplus. There is only one inference from these facts, and that is that the bulk of his earnings have gone to others. And it is easy tor tnose wno kuow uim well to surmise bow it has gone, though they will never have confirmation of their theory from Hampton's lips. "Other senators, other men in office, have ordinarily used their influence, and sometimes their means, to aid those who could in turn aid them. In giving assistance to others they have considered first of all whether this expenditure of time or money would bring them political returns. Not so with Hampton. We speak from personal observation when we say that be gave the preference, apparently by system, to those without influence, the last people of all who could reward him with more than thanks. If there were a poor woman who sought an office, Hampton would work for her as he would not do for a strong politician. Many and many a one did he get places for in the departments. If there were a Negro who had been faithful in war or peace to the white people, he Could go to Hampton with the full assurance that he would spare no pains to get him work. We have seen him get out of bis sick bed and go to listen patiently and kindly to the importunities of office seekers who would not be given a moment's thought by "practical politicians." Wc have known him to .walk painfully day after day to the departments to advance the fortunes of people who from the politician's standpoint were mere nonentities. "No doubt be wasotten imposed upon by the unworthy ; but no experience of this sort should change the rule he had fixed for himself?to help himself?to help those who seemed most to need help. "The time has come when we must thick for him as he has not thought for himself, and provide for him asbeing Wade Hampton, an open-hearted, open-handed gentleman?he has not provided for himself. In this we consult not bis pleasure but ours, and do our duty to ourselves uo less tbau to him." German Baptists.?The German Baptist Association held a business session today, which was so orderly, and the work so swiftly executed that a sine die adjournment was reached at the close of the afternoon meeting, says a Richmond dispatch of Wednesday. The day's work began at 8 o'clock this morning. The attendance was large. Tonight and tomorrow nearly all the visitors will leave for lor their homes. The middle district of Indiana was selected as the next meeting place of the association. The town was not named ; but will be se-' lected later. .Women in good standing were passed upou as being eligible delegates to the general conference. Instrumental music was given a blow, the conference decided that it should not be taught among the brotherhood. Neckties are to be worn only as a matter of comfort. Representees of railraods and land companies were debarred from eligi bility as members of tbe conterence. Raisers of tobacco were excluded from membership iu the district and annual conferences. A vigorous protest was made by the Virginians. MERE-MENTION. Senator Piatt, of New York, expresses himself as beiug in favor of the renomiuation of McKiuley and Hobart by the Republicans. While plowing in a field one day last week, a Halifax county, N. C., farmer discovered a cau containing several thousand dollars worth of gold coin, the latest date on which was 1773. The city of New Orleans has presented the Uuited States cruiser of that name with a silver service. The controversy over the delivery of the arms of the Cuban insurgents at $75 a gun is still in progress. Captain J. B. Coghlnn, of the Raleigh, has been placed in churge of tbe I'uget Sound naval station. ' It is rumored in the papers that the Southern railroad is going to build a direct line from Columbia, S.

The following extract from a Confederate memorial address delivered by Jas. B. Bell, Esq., at Salem church, on last Saturday, is printed at the especial request of people who heard and endorse it: "Among all the true sons of South Carolina, one form stands conspicuous. No fear blanched his cheeks, no danger daunted his courageous soul. His very presence imparted courage, his very eye enthusiasm. Unawed by power, unbribed by honor, be stood in the midst of the perils that surrounded him, as brave as Paul before the sanhedrim, ready for bonds or death ; true ?

As we now look back upon that struggle, his figure, above all others, fixes our admiring gaze; his crested helmet waves high where the battle is fiercest, the pure rays of the sun reflected from his glittering shield are not purer than the fires which burn in the breast it covers. His clarion voice rang out louder than the din of battle; like the bugle blast of a highland chief, it resounded over hill and mountain glen summoning bis clan to the defense of his home and liberty, and thrilled every heart and nerved every arm. It was the form and voice of Hampton!" ABOUT PEOPLE. Miss Grace Kittrell returned home last Wednesday from Sumter. Miss Mary Gribben, of VVinthrop, has been visiting the Misses Cody in Yorkville.

The * exercises of the day consisted of a monster procession, decoration of the graves of the Confederate dead ard ? two addresses ; one by Major Hart and p one by Prof. J. P.

Major Hart came back much n pleased with Newberry and the way the people do things over there. e y SETTLED AT LAST. [ Among the decisions handed down ? by the supreme court this week, are 8 two of very considerable local interest. t The decisions refer to the following cases: ^ D. E. Finley, receiver, appellant, vs. W. B. Moore and A. Y. Cartwrigbt, re- c spondents. s D. E. Finley, receiver, respondent, vs. Carrie J. Cartwright and A. Y. Cartwright, appellants. t These actions involved the title of "] the property lying on the north side b of Cartwright avenue, and between r the deLoach (Beatty) lot and King's c Mountain street, conveyed to A. Y. c Cartwrigbt by the former owners in b October, 1893, at the price of $575.00, c to be paid in January, 1894. He and 1 W. B. Moore had purchased it togeth- i er according to a verbal understand- c ing between them ; but the grantors \ did not know this, and so the deed i had been made to Dr. Cartwright alone. 1 In January, 1894, within 90 days of t the assignment of Cartwright & Com- c pany, made to T. F. McDow for the c benefit of creditors, and after that s firm was known to be insolvent, Cart- i wright conveyed a half interest to W. c B. Moore, upon Moore's advancing t (Kn nn.nViacp mnnpv then falliner i uau iuc vumwv ujvuvj ?? ? ? d _ due, accordiug to the original agree- v ment between them ; and at the same v time be conveyed the other half inter- p est to his wife, having been advised t that his homestead exemption in lands f ($1,000) would protect this transfer, i The actions were brought by the receiver of A. Y. Cartwright & Compa- 1 ny to set those deeds aside on the > ground that the assignment act had t been violated?which act does not al- i low any preferences or transfers within f 90 days of an assignment, and with a ^ known insolvency existing. f The circuit judge (Klugh) sustain- a ed the deed to Moore, because Cart- t wrigbt did nothing more than he * ought to have done, in carrying out * bis bargain with Moore, although e Moore could not have compelled him, s as there was no writing between them ii on the subject; but he set the deed to a Mrs. Cartwright aside unless she would t pay the sum of $100 to the receiver; t making the special finding that the i entire property was worth $2,200, (although Dr. Cartwright had agreed to t pay only $575 three months before,) a because Cartwright avenue had been i opened, and the land had been cut up t into building lots, and some of the c lots bargained away at good prices, "J All within the three months. f The receiver appealed in the Moore a case, and Mrs. Cartwright appealed in 1 her case. The supreme court has just < handed down a decision, in both cases t sustaining the decree in the Moore r case, and reversing the circuit decree i and dismissing the complaint in Mrs. i Cartwright'a case ; and so, after being ^ in doubt and dispute for over four ? years, the deeds given by Dr. Cart- f wrigbt to W. B. Moore and to Mrs. > Cartwright have been finally pro- a nounced valid, and free from the ? claims of the creditors represented by t the receiver. s The appeal in Mrs. Cartwright's case has drawn from the supreme court a ^ deliverance of vital interest to the cir- i cuit judges and the lawyers and liti- * ganls throughout the state. Since the t constitution of 18G8, the court has been 1 allowing all findings of fact by the I circuit judges in equity cases to stand, * unless without evidence to sustain a them, or unless manifestly agaiust the c weight of the evidence. Ever since ^ the constitution of 1895 there has been e an effort to get the court to hold that v under the language of the new consti- t tution they should reverse the court I below whenever their own view of the v testimony should not concur with the v circuit judge?whenever the finding * below is, in their judgment, simply c against the preponderance of the evi- > dence. But up to this appeal the 1 court, consisting of four members, have * been evenly divided. The appeal I pressed the point that Judge Klugh at c least found against the weight of the t evidence when he fixed the value of I this property at ?2,200, or at any value t one-half of which would exceed $1,- j 000; and the decision distinctly set- ( ties the question that hereafter a circuit judge must follow the weight of the testimony as it will appear to the supreme court when they review the 1 evidence on the appeal. d c Until January l?t, 1900.

At a meeting of the directors of be Wheelmen's Association, held on Thursday afternoon, it was decided to lave a bicycle meet on the Yorkville * ace track on Friday, June 16. Full letails were not arranged ; but the unlerstanding was that there will be a taseball game on the grounds on the norningof the 16th, probably between Yorkville and Chester clubs.
