Edenfield Advertisei Ti?OS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOI WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1. A regiment of sockless populisfct led by Sockless Jerry Simpson if - on the programme. Jerry Simpson has asked per mission to raise a regiment ol populists for the Cuban war. The last call for 75,000 men ne cessitates the appointment of eight major-generals and twenty-four brigadiers, besides a host of small er fry and lesser lights. The President has calied for 75, 000 additional troops. See proc lamation in another column. Un der this call South Carolina will required to furnish about 1,000 men. The great Roman general Fab rius Maximus, won his battles by procrastination-by not fighting them. It may be that the Wash iDg board of strategy will capture Cuba ia the same way. It is mentioned that Gen. M.. C. Butler, recently appointed Major General by the President and con firmed by the senato without even reference, will be sent to Porto Rico, which is by odds the best place on the new war map. The Georgia papers speak of their leading candidate for Gov ernor as "our cussified colonel." Bob Watson is the only colonel South Carolina has in the guber natorial race and he is anything else but "cussified." The. South Carolina quota oi troops under the first call of the President is full except one com pany. Gov. Ellerbe has made an official call for that one company to consist of eighty men. The first company offering will be accepted. A regiment of negroes will be enlisted from this State. Col. Hoggins will be made its colonel. He favors feeding soldiers on hog meat entirely, especially colored troops. He says niggers will fight better on hog meat than any other kind. The Hon. William L. Trenholm, comptroller of the currency dur ing Cleveland's first administra tion, says, speaking of the Cuban war : "The longer it lasts and the more numerous its incidents, the better for country's various corn-, merciai ana individual .nterests?' The Philippines are the richest and most beautiful islands in the world, and it is said that they are to be divided out among the sol diers after the war is over. Inas much as there are more than 1,200 of them this would give South Carolina soldiers, if given to them alone, nearly one whole island each. The President now proposes to send 125,000 soldiers to Cuba, 60,OOC to the Philippines, 30,000 to Porto Rico, and 100,000 will be left in the United States for coast defence and emergencies. To do this-all these things-he will have to make another call for troops in addition to those asked for in the proclamation which we publish this week. It will prob ably require 50,000 more men to fill the bill. Aren't we getting to be a first class nation m a hurry ! THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK. Henry Clew? & Co., the eminent bankers of New York, in their weekly financial letter of May 2?th say: The present position of finance in this country is a most ex traordinary one. In the midst of war, the condition of the foreign exchanges is such as to place the money centres of Europe virtually at our merch. We are permitting balances due to this country, to the amount of probably close upon $100,000,000, to remain on tem porary loan, and yet are buying extraordinary largo amounts of our secuities held in England, Ger many and Holland. Within a year, we have drawn from Europe fully $100,000,000 of gold and are in a position to draw about an equal amount more, if our con venience should so require. Our stock of the yellow metal has reached the highest total in our experience and for the first time exceeds the holdings of any other nation. * * * * * * * The New York banks now hold in gold $165,000,000-the largebt amount ever held by them ; and to show chat these large gold holdings by the bankks are not at the expense of the United States Treasury, it -mast be stated the Government now has on hand $173,235,502, which is also corres pondingly large. MissAycock iuvites the ladie to call and see her new goods, Schley Notifies Navy Seen and Kee HAS ENTRANCE HARBi There is No Escape for Serious P. MUST FIGHT, SURR OR Ccrvcra is Completely at Schley' Guarding Entrance to Santiag of Spaniards Will Result in A dreds of Lives ; Americans Ms With Enemy; News Source of Washington, May 30-At 12:30 o'clock this (Monday) morning the navy department received a dispatch from Commodore Schley announcing definite.y that he had located Admiral Cervera's Cape Verde squadron in the bay of Santiago de Cuba. The commodore states that he has seen and recognized the vessels of the Span ish fleet. While the naval officials have been morally certain for several days that Cervera's squadron was in the harbor of Santiago, the official announcement from Com modore Schley was received by the officers on duty at the depart ment with intense enthusiasm. Assurance is now doubly sure that the Spanish fleet is bottled up and that the coik is in the bottle. It is not believed that Admiral Cervera will attempt to escapo from the predicament in which he finds himself, as such a course would surely result in the destruc tion of his vessels and the loss of many lives precious to Spain. The suggestion is made, however, that the Spaniard may blow up his ships, rather than have them fall into the hands of Schley, as they remain in the barber. -rae ueuiraeness or^ommoaoro Schley's dispatch would indicate that he has effected a landing near Santiago and made a personal investigation of the harbor. ORDERS (HV INVASIC United States Troopi Cuba Before the ~ I _ New York, May 29-A special I to the Tribune from Washington says: Orders have at last gone forward to Major-General Shaf ter at Tampa to embark the greater portion of his corps, including all tho regu lars and a few of the most efficient volunteer regiments on board the transports gathered at that place, and the aggressive military move ment which has been so frequently predicted and as often delayed for one cause or another, will be an ac complished fact before the end of this week. The strongest units of Admiral Sampson's reorganized squadron will convey the expedition and cover its landing at a point now definitely designated. Simultaneously, tho most rigid censorship of press dispatches that has so far been undertaken by the government, will be put into ope ration at Tampa and Key West to night, and no message relating toJ A Letter to Jane. The following letter from one of the new recruits was found near Fort McPherson : "Dear Jane: Jane, I'm in trouble. I've done enlisted in the army' I'm sorry fer it. I wish I was home.

It would be impossible from tbe entrauce of the bay definitely to see and recognize the Spanish vessels, but, by effecting a landing at some point on either side of the entrance, vantage point could be gained from which the entire harbor could be examined. In all probability Commodore Schley or one of his trusted officers has successfully performed this hazardous undertaking in order to obtain the valuable information j contained iu his dispatch. It is impossible, owing to the latenesb of the hour, to obtain an official expression upon the news from Commodore Schley, What effect the certainty that Cervera , is practically helpless will have upon the plans of the administra- , tion with reference to the iuvasiou of Cuba can only be conjectured. The transportation of land forces io the island was delayed because i of the uncertainty concerning the location of the Spanish squadron. If that understanding is correct, i the probability of an early invas of Cuba is etrong. It is not unlikely that the movement of 1 troops, which has been delayed from time to tip^Ajyil^^ijo_tfc|g; : end of the week the United ! States forces will have obtained , a substantial foothold upon Cuban soil. EN FOR )N OF CUBA. 3 Will be Landed in End of the Week. the moves of troops or ships, or in any way speculating upon the ex pedition will be permitted on the wires. If this means of prevent ing publication of information which would be exceedingly val uable to Spain is not folly success ful, the censorship will be promptly extended to the mails. . It can bo confidently asserted that, beyond tho secretary of war and the secretary ot the navy, the President will permit no civilian to enjoy his confidence in this mat ter, until a-lauding on foreign ter ritory shall have been actually ac complished, and General Shafter himself will have sealed orders, whose contents will be known only to General Miles and General Cor bin, until the expedition is safely at sea. Admiral Sampson's sole instruc tions will be to guard the expedi tion aud to co-operate with General Shafter, under the latter's direc tions. Favorable Outlook. Not since 1891 have conditions been so favorable for good trade as they are now. Tho most gratify ing conditions exist in nearly every section of the South. The wholesale dealers are doing a fine business in Augusta. HQC. the retail merchants are in good condition to haudlo an increased business. Those who, by economy and care, have conducted their business so as to pa.?s successfully th rough t the era of depression just closed, will now reap the loug deferrcd benefits of returning prosperity.- Augusta Merchant and Farmer.

[LES ?ES ORDERS Tampa to Move on Once. paign refuse positively to answer. They have no desire that the Spanish authorities should have opportunity afforded them to gather their forces to attack our soldiers as they land. Therefore, nothing of the details of this first movement can be learned. Then* is a suspicion that the start will be made from Tampa and Mobile, and it is probable that in such case tho fleets of transports will converge at Key West, to pass under the convoys of warn ipa which Admiral Sampson bas provided to insure them against attack at the hands of some stray Spanish cruiser or gunboat. It is probable that there will be no less than four separate military expeditions, aud that these will be landed at four different points. Whether Porto Rico is one of these points or not cannot be learned. Before the entire force which it is proposed to use in Cuba can be landed the transports must make four separate voyages across the Straits. DRESSMAKING. MRS. T. E.

CO., TAI LOR-flT CLOTHIERS, QUGUSfA, GA Assurance Society, Ot IJBW VOFl. EDWARD W. SeOTT. PRESIDENT. Issues all Forms of Policies at Lowest Possible Rates Consistent with Safety. ND without making special medtion of each of its many popu-.. TWENTY-YEAR RENEWABLE TERM POLICY-A SPECIAL POLICY FOR BUSINESS MEN. Twenty years is a long time. This is true in life insurance, as well as in other business transactions. Nearly all life insurance poli cies are contracts for a period of twenty year6. They are made so by insurance companies to supply the the needs of the insuring public. When a man takes a whole-life, twenty payment life or twenty-year bond, he cousiders its cost to bira during twenty years, and the settle mont which be can make at the end of twenty vears. Experience and statistics prove that only a small percentage of policies are continued longer than the twenty-year peri id. Men take on largo lines of insurance from age 30 to 40. The en suing twenty years cover the period when their families are growing up and being.educated ; it also covers the period of their greatest busi ness activity. It covers the time when their families and business in terests require the greatest amount of protection. A man's requirements are not the same at 60 years that they are at40years. His family has grown up, his business conditions have changed, or the necessity for insurance has disappeared. In view of these facts, The Provident Savings issues a policy at a fixed rate for twenty years, which includes only the cost of protection for that time. The premiums on this policy are less than one-half the premiums charged for a twenty-payment life. If a man wants insur ance forproteeiion only, this policy will supply his wants admirably. He is not obliged to make a deposit with an insurance company for a future which he may never reach; especially when he has need for this deposit, and more, too, in his business. To illustrate this Policy, we will give the figures. A man at 30 takes one of these Policies for $1,000 at the regular term rates of $14.91 per annum for twenty years. This policy can be continued, after twenty years, without medical re-examination, at rates for tho age then attained. B. R. DURISOE, SPECIAL AGENT Jan. 24, '98. EDGEFIELD, S. C. GME ?T~P.
