PiSS?H *m itfk CAMDEN MEETING. What Oar CorreApontieat Think of the Caatf Mates For State Offices. Pisgith, Aug. 4.? This section]is in the dry streak. There has not been enough rain since May to run in the furrowH, consequently the fine crops of a month ago are short Cotton is opening prematurely for the want of moisture; From near here to Camden, rain has fallen in abundance as in oth er sections, and the crops show the beheiSfcof it ; but here the clouds just pass by ?aid-iwer our heads, to pour out their wat?t at some other place. - Tobacco seems to be quite a success to those who have planted it this sea son. There is some fever of a slow type scattered through this section. Mr. W. J. Dees' family is down with typhoid fever. His wife and four children have it The neighbors are doing what they can to help him in his distress. Senator Manning's friends are pleas ed to see his card as candidate for re-election. He has made a good Sen ator. Prompt and pleasant to those who had business with him, and punc tual in discharge of his duties. Mr. Moses' long experience in the House, will make him a useful mem ber of it Mr. Fraser will continue as he com menced, independent in his views, and not dependent on any man for his ap proval of what he wishes to do. A right sort of public man. "Mr, and Mrs. R. K. Wilder and Marie DuPre, of Sumter, spent several days here last week visiting relatives, and returned home Saturday afternoon. ? protracted meeting is now going on at Pisgah church. . The pastor, Mr. Crouch, is assisted by Bey. Mr. Black , many of Lancaster. The morning ser vice will be at 10 o'clock and the even ing at 8 p. m. Eev. J. W. Kenney is laid up with sore eyes, so he could not fill his appointments for yesterday. Quite a number have it. Some of them being blind for a time. The State campaign meeting ^passed off quietly at Camden. Talbert made the best speech of the gubernatorial i candidates. It was forceful. He ap pealed for a better manhood, based on the requirements of Holy Writ. Dr. Timmerman, Ansel, (Bro. Crankford, as he styles himself), and Hey ward, ; . were listened to attentively. Lieut i Gov. Tillman got the most applause. He did not make a speech in full. Paid his respects to the "State," and ex plained some other things. Personal differences should be settled out of newspapers and off the stand. The newspapers ar? paying too much atten tion to TiUman. They tried it on Elaine, and he polled his full party ; vote, when his ? own organ's were . against him. I heard several gentle men say they considered Tillman per secuted, and they intended to vote for him on account of it Legitimate criticism on public matters is all right,. but it is an insult to a man's intelli gence to intimate or tell him how he should vote, as some of the papers are doing. The minor candidates had a lively time, Gunter and Stevenson are like lovers. McMahon put it on his opponent Mobiey whacked into Wil born and he went for all. .Says he has saved 13 times his weight in gold to the fanners, by one vete. Some of the jokes of the candidates, were not enjoyed by. alL Instead of discussing matters of public interest a lot of foolishness is indulged in. We missed Whitman. I hope in the fu ture that his friends will see his assess ment paid if he don't pay it and let him speak last so he can whack it into all the rest It will interest the crowd. Whitman may be a crank, but he tells a lot of truth all the same and would make a better Governor than some who have opposed him. Frank Gary made a fine speech, and from the present outlook stands the best chance to be elected, but politics are like a camelion*ever changing. Guv's Observations in lee County. We cisscapeo'erians could spare ' you. occidental, apathetic transcape o'erians a huge lot of poitical enthu siasm, bombast and general tommy rot, without disfurnishing ourselves, also a fair batch of candidates of assorted sizes, grades and modern styles. No 1 old style in whole assortment. The battle is on, the fight reached a rosy red heat and the slogan of the Bantam candidate and colony is "O, libera me rnetu!" O, dnrn it this is a mean un generous trick that Sumter cabal has imposed on us ; causing us to carry out this play not even* knowing whether we are acting a farce, comedy or legi timate drama, and this the second pre sentation too, O, dog-gon. This baili wick has been peculiarly blessed in the matter of crop season. The dis tribution of temperature rainfall, &c, though seemingly somewhat erratic has been in the main, conducive to rapid and vigorous growth with ample opportunities to cultivate with plow and hoe. The writer can vouch that the crop in sight of the roads, from St. Charles to Bishopville and above, are as near ideal as can ever be expected on this small side of Paradise. The results ?ire that we farmers have adopt ed a little more swonger in our gait, a broad guage smile illumines our afflict ed countenances, we are breathing out a veritable vague aroma of riches and we are ready to giv? advice off-hand to anything and to critize everything from Divine Providence to the town Marshal. There are a few, however, who are not comforted. They are they who are never supremely happy until they succeed in making every one else intensely miserable. (We* ourself despise riches ; it's our only consola tion, and w? sit up nights despising -em with vehement despise. ) The growth of St. Charles which seemed to have been arrested by? drought, or something, has taken "on anew and we bid fair to become some what of a lumber, huckleberry and cotton ginning emporium?also eggs. R. M. Jenkins' saw mill has been steadily running during the year, and is now under heavy drive and high pressure and the lumber men are buying the stuff with much avidity. Mr. J. is also renovating his ginnery attach ment. W. Kistler McCoy is erecting a 50 feet gin house and will put in three 70-saw gins with a complete Murray system of steam press, all of the most modern style and improvements. "Paul" may be somewhat unweildy in make (he is self-made and builded himself too much b? 3? waist), but his steadiness and pertinacity will fgi there." D. L. Shaw is improving his dwell ing house which occupies, perhaps, the choicest location around the j "burg," being the original residence I on the old local plantation. Sam E. Shaw is curing up Tiis crop of tobacco and several barns of lugs and lower Strippings have already yielded fair prices. Archy A. Brearley is making quite a reputation as a raiser of choice melons. He has been cultivating, for several years, and selecting from a particular variety of melon which might appropriately be dubbed * * Br?arley choice, *' as he has brought it to a state of perfectionn?t is not only attractive, but alluring and seductive. This melon grows to large size and perfect shape; is of dark glossy green with a peculiar sheen, thin rind, flesh deep red, firm and sugary and with that peculiar melony flavor, which lends a finish to it's lusciousness. (In a more temperate season he may experiment in growing a lnmp of ice inside, or a coating outside) ; many of these melons weigh 40 {founds each, and their ap pearance would attract attention in ! any market. A lilipution tornado narrowly escap ed striking Mr. B's. residence a few days Pince. The funnel shaoed terror roared through the field in fearful proximity, wrenching tough limbs and tops of o?k and other treee in it's rapid passage then lost itself in space or died of exhaustion. Our roads are, veritably, a crying dsgrace to modern progress and civilization and those leading to the congeries of St. Charles are no exception, rather an object lesson of slovenly neglect maugre the fact that the material for repair sim ply needs shoveling into shape. We have some valuable data regarding the' building and the benefit of good roadss which might be printed for a more impressionable people ; but as it is it would be like "casting pearls," &c. So th^re ! now let some more loyal and patriotic and fireeating Gamecocker take us up on that line, please ! we want to say something bad. The population has ceased entirely to work roads and the chain gang, it is stated, has not made it's appearance on 'this side the lines since they were declared as enclosing Lee county last year; though our quota of convicts and taxes are being utilized for the improvement of other sections. Our courteous station agent and tele grapher Charley Smith has been off temporarily and our own Sid Smith has been holding down the button and the trains. Sid is an indigene. Having had few opportunities and lacking robust health he determined on learn ing telegraphy and has persisted and conquered. Sober, amiable, steady and indsutrious, we predict that Sid will not lack position. The Daily Item has been somewhat derelict and truant at times and still continues its remissness at intervals, much to our disappointment. We get the big journals done up in "ample form," but the fresh, crisp columns of the breezy Item is ever the first wrap per torn and news conned, terse, concrete, versatile : it is a great com fort to this weary pilgrim during this season of torrid temperature and short evenings and "dolce far ni?nte'1 and innock qus desswee toode. Guv, "Wee Nee," Lee C? (In dubito.) July 31, 1902. P. S.?Thanks to our Pisgah friend (Is he the old "sage of Pisgah?") for his kind expression, some time since, as to our deserving office in Lee coun ty. Whenever we conclude to begin our political pap howl we'll depend upon his strong support : until then we prefer to wait and watch to what class of men the voters of Lee county pre fer to trust their political weal or woe. Andrew Johnson is said to have written from Tennessee, to his father in North Carolina who was a chronic candidate, ' ' better come out here, dad, .mighty, mean men gits office out here." We'll wait and watch and run accordin. G. The Governor Refuses to Pardon Dr. Maxcy Lee. The governor yesterday acted finally in the matter of the petition for a pardon for Dr. Maxcy C. Lee, con victed in Darlington county in 1899 and sentenced to life imprisonment in .the State penitentiary upon conviction of murder with a recommendation to mercy. It will be remembered that this bright and promising young physician shot and killed his father with whom he lived, he being also a physician. It was developed at the trial that Dr. Maxcy Lee was under the influence of liquor at the time and h? has claimed from the first that the killing was purely an accident. The case has been one attracting wide spread attention in view of the promi nence of the parties concerned. Ee cently strong petitions were presented to the governor in behalf of the young physician, but Solicitor Johnson made no recommendation and Judge Benet set out at some length and very strongly the reasons why he could not recommend the exercise of executive clemency. After carefully considering the matter in all its phases tbe gov ernor yesterday refused to interfere with the sentence of the court. Dr? Lee has been of great assistance in the medical department of the State prison, and his work in the hos pital has been of such a character as to receive mention in the annual re port of the officers to the general as sembly.?The State Aug. 5. Chicago, 111., Aug. 4.?Commodore Jos. E. Montgomery, the aged Con federate naval office who nearly cap tured pen. Grant during the civil war, died here today at the home of his son, Dr. James Montgomery. Commodore Montgomery was born in Carrollton, Ky., in 1817, and from his youth until the war broke out was en gaged in river traffic. At tbe battle of Mobile Bay he played a conspicuous part. He also was in the engagement at Fort Pillow and New Orleans, and at Memphis he lost his fleet, f?e was an intimate friend of Jefferson Davis. He lost his eyesight 12 years ago and since that time had lived in this city. The idea of Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, going into Texas to break the solid Democratic delegation from that State in the coming campaign is laughed at by all Texans. In fact the Democrats down there rather hope that he will go on a tour of the State, confident that he will surely increase Democratic majorities wherever he speaks. GOBA WILL ISSUE BONDS. Bill Authorizing a Loan of Thirty Five Millions Adopted. Washington, Aug. 4.?The state de partment has received the following cablegram from Minister Squires, dated Habana, Aug. 4: **The house has passed the bill au thorizing loan thirty-five million min imum rate of issue 90 per cent. Max imum interest five per cent., redeem able in forty years." ; Under the Platt amendment the Uni ! ted States is bound to take cognizance of every action of the Cuba govern ment relating to loans. Article 2 of that amendment pro vides: "That said government shall ? not assume or contraci any public ! debts to pay the interest , upon which i and to make reasonable sinking fund provision for the ultimate discharge of which the ordinary revenues of Cuba, after defraying the current expenses \ of the government, shall be inade quate." : No computation has been made to ascertain whether or not the loan pro vided for in the bill to which Minister i Squires refers trespasses upon the pro ; vision of the Platt amendment, but it ! is presumed that the Cuban revenues can pay the interest and provide a sinking fund besides defraying the or dinary expenses of the government, as provided in the amendment. At the same time it will no doubt be found very difficult to interpret this particular provision, as the question of revenues may fluctuate according to the conditions in the island, si 3i known that the intention of article 2 was to prevent any extraordi nary issue of bonds for the purpose of redeeming the bonds of the so-called republic previous to the [Spanish American war and the payment of large bounties to those who had taken part in the insurrection aglhist Spain. It was intended as a check upon the Cuban government in the matter of in curring indebtedness although it car ries no provision indicating what would be the action of the United States should the Cuban government exceed the indebtedness prohibited by the amendment. Neither is there anything in the amendment indicating what steps the United States would take to determine whether the in debtedness was beyond the power it would prevent the incurring of such indebtedness. HYGEI? HOTEL MOVED BY WATER. A Bold Scheme of Engineering to Be Accomplished. Norfolk, Va., Aug. 2.?The Hygeia must be moved eight miles by water. The War Department has requested the removal of the Hygeia from the government reservation at Old Point. The site is to be used for additional batteries and barracks for Fort Mon roe'. The owners of the famous hotel are granted time to dispose of the build ing and have received an offer of $50, 000 to remove it entire to Willoughby Spit, a point eight miles away across Hampton Roads. If the hotel can Joe moved entire and set up on the opposite beach," another popular resort will be enhanced; and the hotel will again be profitable. The great enigneering feat of remov ing a frame building four hundred feet long is the problem. The hotel is practically worthless, but a New York trust company holds a deed for $72,000 on it. The success of this plan depends ont he boldness and skill of the engineer. . The Cotton Crop is Reported t? be Above the Average. Wshington, Aug. 4.-?The monthly report of the statistician of the de partment of agriculture shows the average condition of cotton on July 25 to have been 81.9 as compared with 84.7 on June 25, 77.2 on July 25, 1901, 76 on August I, 1900, 84 on August 1, 1899, and a 10 year average of 82.8. Except in Texas and Oklahoma which report as to averages of condi tion on July 25 at 4 points higher than last month. Indian Territory, where there has been an improvement of 6 points, and Missouri, where there is no appreciable change, a more or less marked deterioration is reported from the entire cotton belt, the de cline amounting to 1 point in Vir ginia, 2 in Arkansas, 4 in Louisiana, 5 in Mississippi 6 in Tennessee, 7 in North Carolina, South Carolina and Alabama, 8 in Georgia and 12 in Flor ida. There is a marked absence of uni formity of condition even in the States making the most unfavorable showing, not a few counties reporting condition far above the average and some even reaching the high figure of 100. The conditon in the principal States is reported as follows: North Carolina 86: South Carolina 88: Georgia 83; Florida 84: Alabama 77; Mississippi . 80; Louisiana 81; Texas 77 ; Arkansas 92 : Tennessee 92 ; Oklahoma 94 ; Indian Territory 95. New York's Anti-Hebrew Riot. New York, August 4.?Police In spector Brooks today began a public investigation into the riot at Jthe funeral of Chief Rabbi Joseph last Wednesday. R. Hoe (& Co, manufac turers of printing presses, were today served with summons and complaint in a suit for ?25,000 damages, brought by Rudolph Gartenbrugb, who alleges that while acting as a pallbearer at the funeral of Rabbi Joseph he was struck by a brick in the hands of one of Hoe & Co's employees. Train Wrecker Caught. Norfolk, Va, Aug. 4.?"Hurricane" Branch, the Suffolk sheriff and owner of the boodhound "Tiger," yesterday arrested Bill Anes, a farmer, near Rinsen, N. C, charged with having removed the rails that caused the wreck on the Washington and Ply mouth Railroad Friday. The dog took the trail at the scene of the wreck and followed it for 10 miles to Anes' house. mnm t ?i Base ball bats, mitts, gloves and masks for sale by H. G. Osteen & Co.
