Mill, was elected manager of the

Most of those who attended from
(this community the twentieth of
May celebration in Charlotte last
week say that it was a big success.
hiut all agree thai I.ho idiotic spieling
of the street fakirs, t > which
they were f? rced to listen incessantly,
was disgusting in the extreme.
1 ti justice to the visitors
who attended the celebration, the
police should have suppressed the
''have-you-seen-George" nuisance.
At a meeting of the sub-committee
of the State executive committee

The ?c5lpi.e of Honday Horn njj.
Nearly every man. woman and
child iu Fori Mill arose bctime
Monday mormu<? to wittus? the
eclipse of the sun. A short
while after daybreak, rmnll croups
could be soon gathered belt ami
thero, smoked i;lase in hand, Awaiting
tin; tii>t opportunity of wiew
? a. %/ \
nig the last great astronoi ii*;?? 1
1 event of the century. The eel ipse
began at about 7. lb and ended at
b.bT. At iirst trie sun appear id to
have had a sum! I piece taken from
the upper right-hand comer, but
ia a few minutes it looked as if
half of it had been cut away.
The shadow gradually increased
until there wa- only a small p.rt of
of tho upper left-hand cot net visible.
Then it became necessary
to make use of artificial ligl t t ?
transact business in storerooms
and elsewhere. 33ut at no !imo
was the i-5;11 entirely i ivisible in
Fori Mill and oidy during a brief
half minute did the sunlight be- j
conte so dim as to approach darkness.
From maps recently published
Fort Mill appeared to be
one of the towns in the path of
totality, but the astronomer who
prepared the maps evidently did
not know his bu.-iness.
Objected to the Drum Corps.
Thf members of the Jasper light
infantry who attended the Charlotte
celebrnti >n last week reported
a delightful time generally, says
the Yorhvi'lct ot respondent of the
News and Courier. One incident1
of the visit, however, caused a little
unpleasant feeling, it seems
that the Jaspers have a negro drum
corps of which they are very
proud. This corps consisted of
four negroes, each of whom is an .
expert in his line. Tlioy are respectful,
obliging, well-behaved
negroes, who know their p!n-es,
and who are treated as only a 'veil
bred South Carolinian knows how
to treat a negro.
As soon as the Jasper Light Infantry
arrived in Charlotte the
ether South Carolina companies
were attracted by the drum corns
from Yorkville, and at the reqi-oat
of several officers Adjutant ilart.
placed this drum corps at the hsad
of the Hue. Hut it soon developed
that the North Carolina tro >ps
would have nothing of the kind.
Thcv protested mildly against
marching behind the negroes. No
attention was paid to the first ] rotest,
anil they gave it. to he uin.er;
sto <1 that unh ss that drum corps
was retired they would not piny.
Colonel Boyd accordingly ordered
Captain Moore, of the Jasper
Light infantry, to dispense Willi
his drum corps and the order was,
of course, ( Heyed. Afterward somebody
cut the head out of one of
the drums belonging to the corps,
and this made the Jasper hoys hot
again, but they eould not lix the
offence where it belonged.
Tuesday afternoon after the military
pro ad 1 was over Captain
Moore marched his men along tlio
principal streets of the town w.th
the drum e >ri>3 in tiio lead, heat
inj^ as proudly as if they were
white. Then that. ni<_cht the company
held an indignation Meeting
at which there was some speeo'iifyini;
and development of feeling
t hat promised to n suli in ii*ticulf?.
Finally a veteran Jasper, who was
with tho company as an honorary
member, poured nil on the troubled
waters and quieted the distuibnnco
with tho following explai atorv
speech: "You see, boys, tin so
fellows over here are just now going
through what we went through
in 187d. The only dilferer.ee is!
that they ain't half doing it; but
we'll have to make allowances tor
them until thoy become certain
whether they aio as good as a nigger."
Aside from this tho day
passod otV pleasantly, and every
Jasper feels confident that his company
made the best appearance ?,f
any organization in the city.
Homicide at Bessemer City.
A special of tlio 25th instant
from Crastonia t?> t!ie Charlotte
Observer says: At Brssem* r Ci;y
1 his afternoon about 5 o'clock John
L. Odcll, boss weaver in tho SouthI
ern Cotton M ils, was fatally i !* '
hod by C. M. Davis. Odell ban
discharge 1 Davis yesteiday. Today
Davis went into the mill two
i or three times and was put out by
Odell. The last time he whs ejected
at one door and wont around nnd
came in at another, walked np to
Odell. who was in the passage way,
and after a few words stabbed him
in tlio neck, severing the jugular
vein, and ran. Odell ran out the
door after him, but apparently
n-un/..ng iiisawiui ciitumiiy, turned
nnd tried to get to tho drug store.
Hi' lind barely crossed the railroad
when ho fell dead.
Davis was arrested and placed in
jail a few hours after the murder.
An unusually largo crowd attended
the closing exercises ( f
Pleasant Valley Academy last
Thursday. A speech wan made in
the afternoon by lloir. i'bos. J

Then' has !>* e:i lyinj* as well
as stealing in connection with
Cuban affairs. First Assistant
l\jshn::t;tor-(..?e:i' ml Ferry Heath
has repeatedly and publicly declared
that he had nolhin'.; whatever
to do with the appointment
of Nee'y. the lie id of tho lout in**
conspiracy.and. now Mr. Kithbone.
the suspended director of posts in
Cuba, asserts that he appointed
Neely on i'erry Heath's reeoiumendatiun.
There must be iloeu
inentury evidence that will show
which of these tn<-n have lied. an<l
il nii^'li! to he produced auil doubtless
will be it' Senator 1 ?acon*s res lutioLi
for a Congressional investigation
goes through.
The l'oer peace envoys, who linvo
been snubbed oflieially nnd jollied
personally by the ndministralion.
are pn paring 1o visit a number of
large "Western cities for the purpose
of trying to arouse a public
Sentiment that, will compel the administration
to do s miething to
bring the war in South Africa to a
close before ICnglnnd wipes the
two little republics ? tV the map.
Republicans defend Mr. McKinley's
treatment of the envoys when
they have to, but mighty few of
them commend it.
The big payers of war taxes are
to be bie<l by Jinss Hnnnu. That
\v;i.s made certain when the Kepublicau
managers of tho House decided
that the Ways and Means
Couunilt.ee should be given authority
to sit during the recess for the
purpose of fixing up a hill for the
red net ion of war tax< s. In order
to catch as many of the tax payers
as possible, the comuiitte will not
begin its sittings until a few weeks
before election. Uoss Manila's programme
is to allow ail of the heavy
war tax payers to believe that if
they contribute liberally enough
to the lb-publican campaign fund
their interests will be favored in
tlio bill, but he will take good care
that not a single item in the bill
shall be decided up >11 until after
the election. It. is a good scheme
of its kind, but is a very bad and
disgusting kind, but no worse than
others manipulated by the same
man in lb'.Xi.
It being apparent that, the Senalt'
Committee on Privileges and
Elections had no idea of reporting
the resolution for a constitutional
amendment, providing for direct
election of ITiitod States senators,
Senator Pelligrew has offered a
rrti.iliilum l<i <1 inelmri/'n lli??
mittce from further consideration!
of tho resolution and have it reported
and placed on the calendar.
l ln4 Senate wilt not pass this
resolution until compelled by publie
sentiment t?> do so, although
tho large majority for it in the
llouse should lnive convinced senators
of the state of public sentiment
on t lie question.
The Senate has adopted a resolution
calling upon the Secretary
of War for information as to the
condition in the Philippines ( press
news of the week showed that
there was neither pence nor American
control outside of tin4 places

more definito tlnm that furnished
by t! 10 sanio department about
Cuba, in response to Senate resolutions,
it. will not carry much onlii^lilineiit
for nnybody.
Senator I'acou lias otl'ered an
ninondnu nt to his resolution for a
Congressional investigation of the
Cuban stealing by Cuban ollicials.
which promises to reach enormous
proportions, authorizing tlio conilu
it tee to sit during the recess at
such places, either in this country
or in Cuba, as the committee uiny
deem necessary or important nud
to send for persons anil papers.

of the Philippines, even ;
going so far a- to.say that lie would
not have voted for the ratification |
<f the Paris treaty of pence had
,!ie supposed that, it would lend to ;
permanent ownership of the Philippines
by the I'nited States, and
afterwards had his mind changed i
for him by the administration,
made a set speech, occupying a
portion of two days Inst week, in
favor of his bill giving Mr. Mckinley
autocratic power in the Phil- :
ippinos, which is now before the
Senate, and was used as a club to
defeat Senator Morgan's resolution
to take up the Nicaragua Canal
bill. The solid Remiblicnn vote
against taking up the latter bill
will not be allowed to be forgotten
during the campaign. It showed
up the hypocrisy of the republicans
who pivtend to favor that bill.
It.could have been passed in an
hour had tho Republican senators
supported Mr. Morgan's motion,
but Ha 11 nn ordered them to vote
down lli" motion and they obeyed
orders. The people's orders will
