Edeefield Advertiser Ti'OS. J.ADAMS, - - - - - EDITOR WEDNESDAY, AUG. 24. It is claimed that the wheat crop now being harvested in the West wili make this year's yield the largest on record in this country. Dewey is to be made a Vice Admiral. This office, however, must be created by Congress, and probably such will be recommend ed by the President in his next message. A Washington dispatch to the New York Herald says there will be work foi the volunteers, and that 75,-000 of them will be needed for garrison duty in Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philippines. - . * * '.In all my business experience in Wall street, which covers a period of forty years, I have never seen a brighter outlook for all business interests in this country than the situation now presents. So says Henry Clews. While the recent brilliant ex ploits of Dewey and Hobson have attracted attention throughout the world, Private Cornell, of the First Alabama, deserves recognition. Cornell was tried by court martial for over staying leave of absence, and it came out in the proceedings that the young man within the pe riod of 24 hours, had collected $17.70, got married and joined*the church. Cornell was excused. Mrs. Elsie R. Montfort, the wid owed mother of William FrankliD Montfort, who lost his life in the Maine explosion, is the first pcnioner of the present war. The pension was paid on June 1st by Colonel Jonathan Merriam, United States Pension Agent at Chicago, who mailed Mrs. Montfort a check for $14,40, that being the sum due her for her pension since February loth, when the Main - was sunk. . The campaign meeting at Edge field on Tuesday was insufferably dull, and stupid to a degree. The speeches, with few exceptions, were stale, flat, and insipid, and the biggest fool in the whole lot made the most fun. The crowd was larger than expected, and exer cised a commendable degree of pa tience. Of course every candidate who reads these lines is privileged to believe thai ho is-oro of tho to bie exceptions and made an ex cellent speech. MPMAH AN-MAYFIELD. Another Account of the Scrap at the Anderson Meeting. Anderson, S. C., August 16. The attendance on the state cam " paign meeting, wes according to the statement of the candidates, the largest that has greeted them in the State. The candidates for governor and attorney general ap peared and had their say and nothing out of the usual routine occurred. Each candidate was given a respectful hearing and some applause. George D. Tillman and Mr. Featherstone were the recipients of flowers. The sensational event of the oc casion was a fist fight between W. D. Mayfield and J. J. McMahan, candidates for superintendent of education, toward the close. It was entirely unexpected. Many of the people had left and nobody ws expecting trouble. McMahan was speaking. He said that May field had circulated a printed speech not delivered in his pres ence reflecting upon him and he proceeded to denounce Mayfield severely. Mayfield, who is over six feet high and heavily built, rose and called out "stop!" McMahan refused to pause and Mayfield interrupted him and turned to the crowd, shouting: "Fellow citizens, I have had to slap this man's face before. McMahan instantly faced his big antagonist and quickly, sharp ly and with thrill distinctness, "You are a liar." Mayfield struck at him heavily and awkwardly. McMahan was ready and was too quick for him, catching the blow on his right arm. With the same motion Mc Mahan drove his left fist true and hard into Mayfield's eye, stagger ing him. Before Mayfield could recover or McMahan could follow up his advantage Chief of Police Dillingham had jumped on the stand and thrust himself between them. "Let him come on; lean whip him," McMahan shouted as a mass of men surged and struggled between them, Cl.airman Prince oeing conspicuous among them. Mr. Mayfield seemed to favor an immediate settlement also. McMahan was cool and finished nis speech after the fight. Hayfield's eye is badly bruised pud blackened.-Greenville News. CHAM COMTMS. FIGHTING JOE Wl/EELER TALKS OF THE WAR. If tho Volunteers are Not Mus tered Out Before Congress Meets He "Will Resign from the Army. Washington, Aug. 20.-Some of Gen. Wheeler's friends remarked to him when he was here that his appearance suggested that another campaign like Santiago would act upon him like the spring of youth. He is a little thinner ;than before he went into the war, but is bronz ed and his eyes are bright, his step springy, and his movements full of energy. He looks five years younger than beforo he endured the hardships of the campaign. Gen. Wheeler will remain in the army until the volunteers under his command are mustered out, or until December. His re-election to Congress is said to be assured, practically without opposition, and the assembling of Congress will demand his attention after De cember. The general speaks modestly about his part in the Santiago campaign, in fact, does not talk about himself at all, and accepts congratulations with extreme mod esty. But he speaks in very high praise of the American army, and says it has demonstrated that in this country we can raise an army in a short time capable of contend ing against the army of any na tion on earth. The spirit and courage of the men, he declares, are indomitable, and with drill and training they become the best soldiers that cen be conceived. The Cuban soldiers, he said, were ragged and half-famished, and so debilitated that as much should not be expected of them as some seem to expect, and moreover, the difference of custom, mode of life and language led to a lack of understanding between them and our own people. He found, I however, that if care was taken tc ! employ conpeteut interpreters and to explain to them fully pur poses and motives, they accepted the situauation and acted to the best of their ability. As an ex ample of this, he spoke of a colonel of the Cuban army whe reported to him to co-operate with the American army. "I told him," said the general, "to' report to^eneral Chaffee for orders. To this he replied that he had had his orders from the- com manding Cuban general ; but when I explained to him with care the impossibility of cooperation it he followed the orders of the Cuban general, instead of the American general he accepted the situation and reported to General Chaffee. The general said further that when he first went into battle the great difference between the con ditions surrounding the fight now and those surrounding tue great battles of the war impressed him strongly. "During the war," he said, "we fought at close range and there was tremendous noise and smoke. In this war the range of fire was eight hundred yards or more and there and was very little noioe and the use of smokeless powder disposed of the smoke of battle. "J saw probably the first man struck in the fight. He was near me and I went to him justas he had fallen and could see no mark where he had been hit, yet he was in the last^ agony of death and. died almost instantly. I had heard no noise, I had seen nothing, and covld not even see the wound on him, and yet he was dying. We undid his belt, and there was juBt 1 the least hole where the ball had gone through his body. The range of fire is so great with the modern guns that distance seemed to make little difference in the matter of danger. There is no such thing as seeking safety in the rear of the line of fire. When we got to within . five hundred yards practically the whole army was exposed to the fire, those in the rear being in danger as well as those forward." Speaking of the capture of San Juan hill, General Wheeler said it had not been his intention to make the assault when they did, that they marched up to a certain point, and intended to remain there. He was in command, and two considerations led him to or der the army to go ahead. One was that they were exposed to fire where they were, and were in as much danger at that distance as they would be in making the assault, and another was that Gen eral Lawton's command, which was to come up from the south east, might have advanced to a po sition where the assistance of the forces under General Wheeler would be needed. "The depressing condition of affairs on the first of July when the dispatches received here caus ed much anxiety, and even fear of disaster," General Wheeler said, "was due to the absolute discom fort and euf?ering of the whole ar my having had to wade through the San Juan river wet to their skins, and not being :u a condi tion to withstand a severe attack by a strong force ; but I determin ed that, after the progressive vic tories which had been won by our troops, the Spaniards would not be in a condition to make such an attack any more than our troops were to repel it, and we stood our ground, and future events speedi ly terminated all thought of re tiring from a foot of ground . we had occupied. New Use for Corn Stalks. A wealthy firm of Philadelphia shipbuilders is investing $100,000 in fitting out a factory at Rockford, 111., for converting corn stalks into coffer-dam for the sides of war ships, and food for cattle. Before the corn crop of next fall shall have been gathered in it is expect ed several other factories with newly invented machinery will be built in the midst of the corn belt, where charge for transporta tion will be at a minimum for the farmers who raise the com. The uniform price to be paid for the corn Btalks is $2 per ton. A material made by a patent process firom the outer covering of corn stalks will be used to stuff tho sides of naval vessels. When the shot passes through the ship's side the water in entering the hole has the effect of swelling the corn stalk stuffing and this closes the leak and prevents enough water entering to sink the ship. When Mr. E. S. Cramp, of Philadelphia, the chief promoter of the new enterprise, was asked about it by a Chicago Post reporter he said: "We separate the pith from the outer stalk. The latter is used to make the warship padding and tho path is converted into food for cattle. Thus there is no waste whatever. The process is one of separation and grinding and is not complicated. Having equipped a factory with the ma chinery, about all that is necessary is for the men to put the bare stalks in at one end and take out the stuff at the other. In Novem ber-on Thanksgiving Day-our patents were granted. I have just completed contracts with the American Spirits Manufacturing Company to feed all their cattle with this substance. They consider it' a very valuable food in place of what they have used hitherto. "For packing filtering and ventilating purposes the coffer dam material is useful, too; but these are only minor uses to to wh.'-;h it may be put. As to the price that is to be paid for the stalks, it will be $2 a ton. This is enough to make it profitable fer those who raise the corn, for we do not want the leaves, etc. All that is necessary is the bare stalk. Thus, after husking the corn, farmers may let the cattle into the field as they do now, and when the cattle have consumed the leaves and all they can eat, the etalkB can be brought to our factories. Noth ing we need has been put to any use in the past. There are two or three tons of corn stalks to the acre,wL:ch can be out for about $1 an acre, leaving the rest to the far mer. A goodly portion of the corn stalks crop of 1897 will be used by us. We intend to invest a large amount of capital in making use of the inventions and building factories from year to year in favorable locations throughout the West, so that there will be not ex pense for transportation to most of those who furnish the product."

FIENDISH CRIME COMMITTED BY A NEGRO I OVER IN GEORGIA. Double Murder and Assault-He I Fled But Was Overtaken, aad Promptly Lynched. Macon, Ga., Aug. 20.-A special to the Telegraph from Americus, Ga., says : The most fiendish crime in the history of Sumter county, or the whole State, was committed at Friendship, twelve miles west of here, last night. Mrs. * James McGarrah and bur son, James Boone, were murdered by a negro man with an axe while, they were in their beds. After this double murder the! fiend outraged a negro woman, tied her to a tree in }he woods and mu tilated her in a shocking manner, j She died also, but not until she had told the murderer's name. He told other negroes that he had kill ed three people last night, then borrowed a horse and rode away. The murdered people were dis covered by John Boone, a son of the murdered, woman, and a crowd at once startled after the fiend. He was caught late this evening and promptly lynched. FURTHER DETAILS. Macon, Ga., Aug. 20.-The -woods and fields ior miles about were scoured by a posse, many negroes joining in the chase of the mur derer. Officers from the city went out with blood bounds to join^in the pursuit. In the meantime^ it is said, the negro woman who ?as found tied in the woods and mal treated, made a statement as to the guilty negro and pointed out one j of those most diligent in search of the supposed criminal and toidi where the bloody axe could bel found. Though hardly believing her story, so incredible it seemed, a part of the pursuing party went to investigate and found the blondy! weapon and blood-stained clothes of the murderer concealed iu an abandoned well on the McGarrah | plantation, justas the woman de scribed. The guilty wretch was quickly taken into custody and a < portion of the pursuing party call- ( ed in. After thoroughly satisfying themselves of his guilt the black brute was strung up and his body 1 riddled with bullets. The officers who had joined in the chase where 3 not present at the lynching haying gone with blood hounds on another { trai^and they knew noihm??^ \ the affair until long afterward, j However, they could have done nothing had they been present, as the outraged people of the cpm munity were bent on avenging'the double murder committed in their midst and nothing could have stopped them. The body of the dead negro was left swinging to the tree, where hundreds of people viewed it dur ing the afternoon. Subscribe to the $1.50 per annum. Advertiser, SOUTHERN RAILWAY. Central Tim?
