We know nothing about "ration"'
as no investigation of the penitentiary
txroo Via/J nn/lur thfl adininistra
tions of these "Unreformed" Governors,
had there been a sickening
thud may or may not have been
heard. Anyhow there has been
something said about beautiful cut
glass brandy decanters and dazzling
crystal wineglasses paid for by the
State and used by one of these "Unreformed"
Governors in bis private
house. We have "heard of" South
Carolina payiDg the Columbia Club
$2 per pack for playing cards. We
have also "heard of " a regrettable
affair at the penitentiary and another
in one of the State offices, all happening
during the administration of
the last named of these "Uurefoinnd"
Governors, but being "unrefoimed"

inese nuie iraueacauus wuic \cwashed.
People living in glass
houses shouldn't throw stones neither
should the devil quote scripture.
The alleged penitentiary scandal
has missed fire. It Las been developed
that the value of the crops were
fixed by estimates. That is the
Board cf Directors would visit a
farm, view a pile of corn, or oats, or
cotton and estimate that there should
be so many bushels, or pounds, as
the case might be, and Col. Neal
charged up with the estimate at current
prices. To illustrate, the Board
estimated the Lexington farm made
1,700 bushels of coi n. Notwithstanding
that Mr. Miller, the superintendent,
protested, saying that at a high
estimate there were only 1,400 bushels,
yet Col. Neal was charged with
at least 300 bushels of corn that was
never there. "We might go on but this
is sufficient to give our readers an
idea of bow the alleged shortage of
Col. Neal occurred and in the meantime
to withhold judgment until the
committe makes its report.
The investigation of Col. W. A.
Neal, the late Superintendent of the
State Penitentiary, is still on. Notbiog
criminal in his management has
so far been developed and if nothing
further is brought out be can be
censured only for placing too much
confidence in his subordinates. He
can now understand wnat 19 is meant
by the express-ion: ' God save me
from my friends."
The Governor has been asked to
offer a reward for the apprehension
of the person or persons who mysteriously
murdered young Pinckney in
Charleston recently. Charleston has
offered a reward of $300 and the
family of the murdered man has
supplemented this sum by an additional
$300. It is possible that the
Governor will offer the reward asked
for.
The situation in Samoa is growing
serious. A deadlock now exists
without any hopes of breaking it,
and the Berlin treaty may be repudi
ated at any moment. Iu this case
war will be almost inevitable and the
United States and England will be
allied against Germany.
Small pox has broken outatPaiksville,
in Edgefield county, and the
disease is said to have gotten beyond

Later Details ol tue Battle in the
Philippines.
Xtw York, March 27.?Janus
Creel man cables from Manila today
that the American troop3 continued
to advance at daybreak, Macarthur
dashing beyond Polo, which was cap
tured and burned yesterday. He
also captured Mayvanayan, two miles
from Polo, after hard fighting. The
insurgents It ft detachments in all
the trenches to delay the advance.
Mayvanayan is at the base of the
Cugh hills and jungle country. The
road forward is clear ground. The
insurgents are still ilying up the rail
wav.
Macarthur's column is mareLing
forward to Bulocan. The South
Dakota boys charged the trenches at
Polo, killing twenty-two and wounding
sixteen.
Aguinaldo has fi d to Malolos.
The Filipino prisoners beg for food.
Aguinaldo has issued a proclammation
sayiDg he would punish with
death all who refused to fight. Hp
has been daily piomising to loot
Manila, sayiDg the Americans were
beaten. The insurgents are bushwhacking
about Pasig and Parana
gue. The railroad over the confluered
country to the rear is being
repaired and fresh troops are getting
into the cars to be rushed forward.
Everything indicates that befoie
forty-eight hours Wheaton and Macarthur
will be fighting before Malolos.
Among the killed in the takiDg of
Mayvanayan was Captain K-.rnahub,
of the Third artillery.
The monitor Monadnock fired on
ParaDaque.
The American loss so far is: Killed,
twenty twe wounded, lflG. The
Filipinos have had killed and wounded
five hundred more in three daysfighting.
Colonel .Egbert, who was wounded
yesterday, died.
Manila, March 27 ?At 3:25 this
morning Macarthur, after reconnoiteriDg,
pushed along the railroad to
ward Malolos. The main body of
the enemy retreated to Malolos.
There are no more trenches to en
counter, although over thirty villages,
including the larger settlements of
Bulacan and Guiguinanto, intervene.
Circulars have been posted at every
railroad station and signed "Filipino
commander-in chief," ordering all
spies and newsbearers of the enemy
to be shot without trials, and instructing
that all looters and ravishers
be treated in the same manner.
It is further ordered that all towns
abandoned by the Filipinos first be
burned. While deploring the existence
of war, the circular maintains
the undeniable light of the Filipinos
to defend their homes, lives and
lands against would be domiuaters,
who will kill them, their wives and
children, adding that this ought to
impel ali Filipinos to saciifice everything.
The evacuation of Malabou was
picturesque. Thousands of mer,
women and children, loaded with
household goods, poured across the
swamps early iu the morning. The
exploded caisson at the railroad
biidge delayed the Ameiican advance.
Ten Oreeronians searching
for Uo comrades killed early in the
fight, sneaked into the < ity and
found the place in a condition of
chaos. The inhabitants seeing them
tied panic stricken, thinking the
Americans were in possession. The
Americans did not occupy Malabon,
but are concentrating at Malulos.
"Washington, Match 27.?General
Oris cables that the battle continued
all day today. The 1-jss is about
forty Americans. He says the troops
will press forward in the morning.
Aguiualdo commanded in person.
Our troops met his concentrated
forces on the north lines and drove
them back with considerable slaughter.
Aguinaldo left a hundred dead on
the field. Many prisoners were captured.
General Otis has twenty-nine thousand
five hundred men to be augmented
by sixteen btiudred regulars
in a week. Six additional regiments
are under orders for Manila.

Cherokee Notes.
To the E Jitor of the Dispatch:
The weather has been fine for the
past week and though the soil is very
wet vet, the farmers are iu a harry.
? ' V
Tue iir&t thing in the morning is }
' hurry, up bo}?, let's get to plowing,"
and not hardly a minute's time
is spent at anything else.
The small grain crops arc looking j
fine and the prospect of a bountiful I
harvest is now shining bright.
This is exactly what the farmers
should do, raise your own biscuits.
Xow when the harvest is paat and the J
grinding is over you can come and i
enj >y the bounti-.-s with us.

With this pittance for so valuable a work
(truly a gift to the public). I must express my
high appreciation of the vast amount of good
that you have rendered the public. A correct
measure of your usefulness never has been, and
never will bo estimated by the public: no. not
even by the multitude of afflicted humanity that

Never has one spoken disparagingly
of their action, and from having seen ?o often
their good effects. I am also enthused with confidence
in their action in cases and conditions
for which they are recommended. It is not
common for regular physicians to endorse and
recommend proprietary medicines, but in this
case I have no equivocation or hesitancy in so
doing."

The health of this community is
very good at present, except a few
families have measlee, but I am glad

Itov. C P. Boozer delivered a very
able and interesting sermon last Sunday
at Providence church to a very
large and attentive congregation.
When the people go to church it
makes us feel that they have resolved
to build up the church and that we
are on the road to success.
Mr. S. M. Gross is having a coat
of puint put on his dwelling which
adds much to the looks of it, and is
also having repairs made around his
place.
Mr. S. L. Riwl is having his yard
and lot fences built, and also a large
dirt oven built that shows that Sam
is aiming at somothiog good to eat.
I think that we will have a small
I fruit crop this season. Some of the
! trees were entirely killed by the severe
cold and I don't think they will re
cover tbi& season to jield.
The chain gang has now took lodgings
at the county poor house. I
have been informed that they are to
prepare the new ground for plowing.
The gaug will go from thence to work
on Cherokee ford I don't think they
will get there any too soon for the
crossing is in a horrible condition.
Mr. G. B WiDgard has erected a
very neat tenant house on the Cherokee
road not far from his own dwelling.
Baylis is one of thesegetabout
kind of men aud may he go on to
success.
The closing exercises of the Mid|
way school will take place on the
evening of the 30th of March, at 1
o'clock. I hope to see a large crowd
at these exercises which I have no
doubt all wbo attend will enjoy them.
It makes the children feel happy to
see their partnts and friends come lo
hear them recite. It not only pleases
the children but the teachers, tor,
are glad to see you.
Mr. E L. Wingard is having made
a nice large barn. He intends to
have a place to store away food for
the winter, and may be be enabled
to till tbis barn to its utmost capacity.
