Scraps and .facts. 1 ? Mrs. Carrie Nation, president of the Barber county, Kan., W. C. T. U., is a 1 somewhat violent reformer. She enter- ! ed a magnificent barroom at Wichita ' on Thursday and deliberately smashed ! a mirror valued at $300, and a painting 1 valued at $300. She claims that there is no law by which she can be punish- ' ed; but she was committed to jail on ' the charge of malicious destruction of property. ? Says a Lexington, Va., dispatch: The Natural Bridge property, including over 400 acres of land, has been sold ror $00,wu, or wmcn $20,000 was paia in cash. The deed was entered on record last week In the county clerk's office of Rockbridge. The purchasers are a syndicate of Richmond and Northern capitalists, with F. H. Broke, of Richmond, as president. Charles H. Paxton, of Rockbridge, was instrumental in making the sale. The property formerly belonged to the late Col. Henry C. Parsons. Mrs. Parsons, who has managed the property since her husband's j death, will reside at her country home, two miles north of the bridge. ? Charlotte Observer, Tuesday: Mr. ( Thomas Wright, a young man who has recently made his home in Belmont, Gaston county, came to Charlotte yesterday morning on an early train and 1 began at once to drink whiskey. Last 1 night as No. 38, the fast train from Atlanta, came through Cathey's cut, V miles south of Charlotte, the engine 1 struck and killed a man on the track. It < was Wright. His head and shoulders 1 lay on one rail, face down, and his 1 skull was struck and crushed. The train was stopped, the dead body was taken into the baggage car, brought to Charlotte and turned over to the un- ] dertakers. Wright leaves a wife and ] child. He worked at the blacksmith's , trade. ] ? Two stenographers, six clerks and I two private secretaries now compose l the office force of W. J. Bryan, editor, < says a dispatch from Lincoln, Nebraska. A week ago Mr. Bryan announced his new venture. By Wednesday he ] had enrolled over a thousand subscrib- , ers, by Saturday they had reached , 2,500, and today's mail brouglft over a { thousand more. Mr. Bryan is very , much pleased with the response. It j has been much greater than he antici- , pated. What pleases him most is the , spontaniety of it all. But he will not j be contented with depending upon ( voluntary offers. He proposes going out after subscribers. Agents will j probably be employed in each election ( district. "s ? Says a London cable of December j 22 to the New York Sun: President ] Taft, of the Philippine commission, has 3 come forward with another suggestion 1 for the settlement of the Philippine $ currency question, which is now press- \ ing urgently for adjustment. He dis- 1 cards former plans of coining some- 1 thing like a trade dollar and of main- t taining by the credit of the United j States a fixed ratio between the Mexi- 1 can dollar and American gold, and pro- 1 poses to adopt United States money pure and simple, as the money of the Philippines. He points out that, rad Ill as is this move, it must be made aner or later, if the islands are to c nain under the control of the United 1 ates, and that delay only serves to ( gravate the evils of the present con- s 3ion> of systems.

Five 3oldiers have been living and sleeping in infected clothes, beds and bedclothes for 20 days and have not developed the symptoms.

The Twentieth century begins next Tuesday. Now that. we have all had a good time during Christmas let us get down to work again. In refraining from boasting over its recent achievement in squaring the ciriie, our esteemed contemporary, the Columbia State, discovers remarkable modesty. In answer to a question from the Atlanta Journal, ex-President Cleveland says that he did not vote for McKinley in the recent presidential election; but whether or not he voted for Bryan he fails to say. The presumption is that he did not, and it is a fact Lhat to Cleveland and his following the lefeat of Bryan was largely due. The viands served at banquets often make people say things that they would do better to leave unsaid. Thifc was evidently the case at a banquet jiven by the Merchants' Exchange, of St. Louis, last week. General Fitzhugh Lee" was one of the speakers. He reviewed his sojourn in Havana as ' onsul general and his relations with Governor General Weyler, the blowing up of the Maine, his departure with the A.merican colony under derision from :he Spanish, the war, the conquest, the surrender, the evacuation, and then, he said, "And now the stars and stripes loat over Matanzas. They float over El Caney, over Havana, and I will tell fou on the quiet, that the flag is going :o stay there." After the banquet the jeneral was asked to specify more par.lcularly as to what he meant, and he :ried to explain by expressing regret :hat he had said anything at all. As :o whether he told all he knew, or something he does not know, cannot )e stated; but that the general was ather indiscreet, is clear. KIDNAPPING OF EDWARD CUDAHY. I The kidnapping of Eddie Cudahy, son >f the millionaire meat packer, of OmaBa, Nebraska, and the circumstances Bonnected with the incident, have cor^, Btituted one of the principal sen^^^H| Bf the past week. I The that youne^^E^^B^Mfl Been kidnapped, wa^^pHHH^BH| last issue hen th^^M^BH^^HBH^HHBH as to surround General DeWet on all sides and it was expected that In this way the wily Boer would be brought to earth at last. But It did not happen that way. A dispatch qf December 20 tells how the converging columns drew to a common center on DeWet cr. December 12. The Boers were between two n.curitaln ranges, and the outlet from the valley at either end was through a narrow pass. The British had appeared from the western end, and the eastern end, the opening of which is only about four miles wide, is guarded on either side by strongly fortified artillery forts. With DeWet there were about 2,000 men. The converging columns of British numbered something like 10,000. Gen. Knox, who was in ?? "t-l- 4-Yin command, was wiuun au uuui ui ?.*?* Boers, and it looked like inevitable capture or annihilation. To the British the situation looked so easy that they did not even expect to fight. At this critical juncture, DeWet detached from his command a small force under General Haasbroek and dispatched it to the west, as though to make an effort to get out on that side. Then, suddenly, the entire remainder of the army, not less than 2,000 men, started at a gallop for Spring Nek pass, the eastern entrance to the valley. The British artillery rained a hailstorm of shot and shell at the galloping Boers. President Stein and Pete Fourie led the charge, and DeWet brought up the rear. First the army veered to one side; but finding it too hot these bore over to the opposite side, where the fire was not so effective, and the entire force got through with the loss of only 25 prisoners and a 15 pounder. This remarkable achievement of DeWet produced consternation throughout vireat Britain, and it aroused the hitherto half loyal Dutch of Cape Town to a high pitch of unrest that is considered to be of serious portent. The British government has begun to hurry more re-enforcements to South Africa, and the newspapers of London are suggesting the advisability of instituting negotiations looking to peace. The war is evidently not over yet by a gTeat deal. A CHRISTMAS RE-UNION. Celebration of the Fortieth Anniversary of the Marriage of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Hogue.

It is probable that during the week several thousand gallons came over the line for consumers on this side. Much of it was for people down in Chester county. Constable Scoggins took a turn at watching the road on Monday and captured some five or six gallons. Cluiiilinaii wt the Mills. The employes of the York and Sutro Cotton Mills had an enjoyable time of it Christmas. The management of the Sutro mill treated the employes to a banquet and dance. Out at the York mills a pretty religious service, conducted in the chapel by Superintendent Grimes and participated in by nearly all of the employes, was held the night before Christmas. On Christmas afternoon and evening refreshments were served in that portion of the main mill building that has not yet been filled up with machinery, and there was dancing from 2 p. m., to 9 p. m. Colonel Asne was master of ceremonies. Splendid order prevailed on the mill grounds throughout the holidays. There was no drunkenness, improper language or conduct to mar the occasion. tfno Vadl* Company. Aiden Benedict's Quo Vadis company arrived in Yorkville yesterday morning, by way of Chester, with plenty of time to make every arrangement for a thoroughly satisfactory presentation of this splendid play. The company did not play at Chester. It is expected to get there from Camden at 4.30 o'clock Thursday afternoon. The train was late and it was not until 12 o'clock that the town was reached. The reputation of the company had gone ahead end there was an unusually large crowd nut lui Luc eiueriuimneni. ine saies of seats were larger than for any previous entertainment this season. There was, of course, much disappointment on account of the delayed train. There are sixteen speaking parts in the play, and all of these parts are represented in full. Manager Moore took occasion, ast week, to make inquiries about the company at various places where it has been playing. All of the reports were of a most satisfactory nature. The manager of the Anderson opera house said that he had no hesitation in saying that this company is the best that has ever been to his town, and Anderson has nearly three times the population of Yorkville. The company goes from here to Spartanburg, and from ne papers in that city it appears that the play-going people there are on the lookout for the greatest treat they have had for weeks.
