J'tumovous department. Seeing and Knowing.?An eminent lord chief justice, who was trying a right ot way case, had before him a witness?an old farmer?who was proceeding to tell the jury that he had "knowed the path for GOyeer, and my feyther tould I as he heerd my grandfather zay"? "Stop!" said the judge, "we can't have any hearsay evidence here." "Not!" exclaimed Farmer Giles. "Then how dost thou kuow who thy feyther was 'cept by hearsay ?" After the laughter had subsided the judge said : "Iu courts of law we can only be guided by what you have seen with your eyes, and nothing more or less." "Oh, that be blowed for a tale!" replied the farmer. "I ha' got a bile on the back of my neck and I never seed 'um, but I be prepared to swear that he's there, dang 'un !" This second triumph on the part of the witness set in a torrent of hearsay evidence about the footpath which obtained weight with the jury, albeit the judge told them it was not testimony of any value, and the farmer's party won.?Irish Times. At the Telephone.?A Texas farmer entered the office of a Dallas, Texas, merchant prince, says Siftings, and asked him if he would like to buy some fresh butter, which he had brought to town in his wagon. "I really don't know whether my wife wants any butter just now, but I'll find out," replied the merchant, and stepping to the telephone he called ] up his wife, and had some conversation on the subject. Then he turned to the < countryman, who had watched the ( proceedings, and whose face was a study for an artist. "No," said the merchant; "my wife tells me that she has butter enough on hand to last for sometime." , "That's all right, cap. You don't need to buy any butter if you don't want to. All you have got to do is to say so, but you needn't play me for a fool by trying to make me believe you have got your wife locked up in that little box. I reckon I have some sense left if I am from the country. You can't fool me." ? ? i Introducing Mark Twain.?Now 1 that Mark Twain is coming back to us, stories are revived of bis early days. It is said that once be went to a lecture in a small town located somewhere I on the outskirts of civilization. The 1 chairman of the evening knew noth- 1 ing about him, but felt that he must 1 nevertheless do his duty. "Ladies and i gentlemen," said he, "it is my duty to { introduce to you Mr. Mark Twain. 1 The only thing I know of him is that I he has never been in our jail, and I ] am bound at the same time to add that I don't know why he hasn't." j When the audible smiles had sub- 1 sided, Mark arose and said, slowly: 1 "Ladies and gentlemen, I am ex tremely sorry to throw doubt on the < veracity of your chairman, but I must ' tell the truth if he does not. He is i wrong when he says I have not been 1 in your jail. I was there this after- < noon?on a visit of inspection." < f?" Mrs. F. (to Fogg, lighting his 1 evening cigar)?Daniel, I'm thinking of buying some new mottoes for our 1 rooms. What kind of sentiment would ( you suggest? "Bother! I don't care ! what you get. Only let it be something new. We've had enough of your 'God Bless Our Home,' 'The Lord Is My Shepherd,' and all that sort of thing. Let it be something new." "I'm real glad, Daniel, that our opin- 1 ions are exactly alike. How would this suit you: 'No Smoking Allowed ' Here ?' " Fogg took the hint, and 1 suddenly remembering that he had an engagement down town, went out, taking his cigar with him. ? JST Old Lady?No use talkin', I used to say this higher edication of gals was all folderol; but I see I was wrong. There's my grandarter, for instance. She's just a wonder. Friend?I understand she graduated with high honors. Old Lady?Yes, graduated, and she kin do what neither her mother nor me could hope to do if our lives depended on it. Jt'rienu?maeea : Ana wnat is mm : Old Lady?She kin tell the time a train is goin' to start hy lookin' at a railway guide. Bright Prospkcts.?"Doctor, how am I coming ou ? Do you think there is any hope?" said a very sick man to Dr. Blister. "Your chances are the best in the world. The statistics show that one person iu teu recovers," replied the doctor. "Then there is not much hope for me!" "Oh, yes there is. You are the tenth case that I have treated and the other nine are dead. I don't see how you can help getting well if the statistics are to be relied on." S&T In a public school of Olympia, Washington, where pupils are asked occasionally for impromptu poetical recitations, one reluctaut boy recently ordered to show his ability at rhyming for the benefit of the School Board's visitors, astounded all present, and secured puuishmeut for himself later, by declaiming: God, O God, supreme on high, Look down on this committee, Who chose such fools to teach our schools In this our capital city.

Plan Formulated to Make Spain Commence Hostilities. Washington Dispatch to The Globe-Democrat. Some 10 days ago the lawyers in the senate, who had been requested by representatives of the administration to make a research of international law and the precedents upon which the powers would proceed after the close of our war with Spain, reported that the recognition of the insurgents as a form of government or the decla * 1 ? e x?. _ ?^1 _1 ration of independence 01 me lsiauu would certainly fasten upon the United States the debt of both the Cuban government and Spain, and after the administration had begun a procedure to avoid the responsibility in the declaration by congress a programme was mapped out, and here it is, from a high official: "When the joint resolution becomes a law one of the fleets of our navy, possibly the one that has been stationed at Hampton Roads, will be used as a convoy to accompany a fleet provisioned for the succor of the starving people of the island of Cuba. There will possibly be six or eight of the warships of various descriptions, and possibly a like number of merchantmen loaded with clothing, provisions, physicians and nurses. The objective point is Matanzas, but it is likely a lower point on the island will be selected, as it is reported that the harbor at Matanzas has been planted with mines and torpedoes. "It is confidently expected that the Spanish will resist the landing of this fleet. It will certainly accept the mission as one of war rather than of mercy and peace. The firing upon this fleet by Spain will be a parallel, in the rules of war to the firing upon Fort Sumter by the Confederates. "Thf administration has been consulting the policy of President Lincoln in so proceeding with affairs in the bay of Charleston as to be on the defensive rather than the offensive at the opening of our Civil war. It is said rhnt. T,inf?nln'R Dolicv was to make it clear that the Federal government would not be antagonized by any of the foreign powers, inasmuch as we bad not precipitated the war, and, secondly, to avoid the payment at- the close of the war of damages that would be incurred on account of the destruction of property by Federal troops, but owned by the Confederates, first (congress not having made a declaration which would, in written law, make us financially responsible) be absolved from any financial liabilities incurred by any one on the island of Cuba, and, secondly, we will have made it impossible for any armed interference upon the part of any of the powers. "It is believed that there will be a junction of the marine and other forces landed by our fleets and the insurgents at the point of our landing in Cuba. War will then be in existence. Immediately there is to be a march to the seaports in the direction of Havana and each one will be taken as reached. Contemporaneous with the movement of our soldiers on land will be that of our fleet at Key West on the harbor of Havana, which city is to be bombarded from every direction. "After the departure of the Spanish troops from -Cuba will come the serious question of privateering upon all vessels sailing under the American flag. It is not believed that more than three weeks can elapse after the passage of the resolution by congress before the bombardment of Havana, unless Spain voluutarily evacuates the island of Cuba. It is believe that many months will elapse before the privateering on our merchantmen on the sea can be stopped." SPANIARDS ARE NOT COWARDS. They Are Going to Get Licked ; But They Know How to Fight. Louisville Courier-Journal. It is well not to go into war with Spain under the supposition that it is to be a walk-over for our navy. The Spaniards, in the first place, have been fighting for three years, and are thus experienced in war; in the second place, the Latins are as much a fighting race as the Anglo-Saxons. During the last 100 years Spain has been engaged in war for GO years, and there is much in such experience. Her marines are recruited from her seacoast population, and are skillful sailors as well as brave men. We can gain some idea of the desperate courage with which the Latins fight by recalling the history of the naval struggle between Peru and Chili in 1879. No more determination or bravery was ever displayed. The Peruvian ironclad Huuscar, after a brilliant predatory expedition that lasted for three months was returning home to refit and repair under command of Admiral Grau. On the 8th of October he sighted a Chilian ileet containing two ironclads, and after a vain attempt to escape fought them single-handed for hours, with terrible losses. Admiral Grau was killed in the conning tower ; a commander who l?Iw* ?? <> c? clnin onrl tKo lion. MiUUfCUCU iJiHI oiuiu, uuu iuv/ iivu tenant who followed was shot dowu by a marine in a Chilian ship, which lay alongside. The carnage and slaughter was fearful, but the few remaining Peruvians resisted a hoarding party until overpowered, and then it was discovered that the chief engineer of the Huascar had scuttled his ship, though the victors managed to save it. This was the most famous engagement of the war, but in a previous one, when a Chilian ship was sunk, the crew resisted rescue by the Peruvians, stabbing them with their knives. Over half submitted to drowning rather than capture. These people were practically Spaniards, and probably fought no better than Spaniards will fight. There can be no doubt of the issue of the war with Spain, but it is well uot to be too sangune at the start. In this struggle between Cbili and Peru tbe result was perhaps, decided by the accidental sinkiug of the Peruvian iron clad Independeneia, which was decoyed into a shallow water by a Chilian corvette and wrecked, while Admiral Grau was winning u brilliant victory with the Huascar. Accident may give the Spanish the advantage in the first battle, and then our enthusiastic Americans may find themselves in much the same condition as were the Washington authorities after the first Bull Ruu. It- is better to be prepared for temporary reverses, though sure of ultimate victory. We have the righteous cause, and, are thrice armed in that at any rate. IN COUNTIES ADJOINING. Summary of the News That Ik Helng Published by Exchanges. CHESTER?lantern, April 19: Miss Mary Jo Witherspoon, of Yorkville, spent Saturday in the city. Mr. Braiperd Dobson, of Yorkville, spent Sunday in the city with Mr. Sidney Davidson. Married on Sunday, April 17th, by Rev. J. E. Grier, Mr. Leja F. Westerlund to Mrs. Leila Cornwell. Mr. W. Y.

Jim Wilks, the Negro who punished his son so severely last week, was cried before Magistrate Williams last Friday and sentenced to the chaingang for 30 days. An effort to organize a new military company in Chester is meeting with encouraging success. Another company, in addition to the one already in the city, and that one in the county, would give stimulus to all of them. The patrous of the telephone exchange have presented a handsome bicycle to Miss Bland Sloan, in recognition of her faithful service at the exchange. This is a well-deserved testimonial. Rev. T. C. Ligon, pastor of Zion and Uriel churches, was in the city Monday. We understand that he will shortly move to Kershaw, much to the regret of his many friends in this county. The "Weary Willie" that Magistrate Williams so kindly furnished with a 25 days on the chaingang, has worked i out bis sentence and has gone to waru other "sons of leisure" that the Ches- ( ter climate is none too salubrious to i members of that fraternity. The | Mormon elders preached on the street last night to a somewhat scattered audience that seemed but little interested. Chief Morgan recalled their 1 appointment for another service tonight, and some of the audience requested them to depart these coasts. Postmaster Hardin, of Olive, has i been seriously ill. i LANCASTER?Review, April 20 : ' Mrs. Jane Shute, wife of Mr. H. H.

Peters, conducting an o. p. ] establishment here, had a preliminary i hearing Monday before Magistrate < Jones upon the charge of violating the dispensary law. The case was dismissed. A successful and well i attended meeting was conducted in the A. R. P. church the latter part of i last week, closing Sunday night. The i pastor was assisted by the Rev. J. P. Knox, of Hickory Grove. i GASTON?Gazette, April 21: Another quiet marriage has broken out? that of Mr. Wade Dellinger of Gastonia, and Miss Ida Lytton,of Maiden, i They were married across the line last Sunday by Mr. F. E. Cliuton. 'If - J__l? 1 ... ,t.? war was 10 come, uou i> you kuuw me Spaniards could never stand up before any such guns as that?" said old man New-comer-in-towu as he pointed to some Standard Oil company tanks going by on the Hat cars. "Why, gee < whiz, man," he exclaimed, "jes look what a tech hole they've got!" We are directed to charge up this item to Mr. Dick Fayssoux. Another blind tiger goes into the jug. Bill Stowe, colored, a well-known and generally suspected vender of red-eye, was caught red handed in the act Sunday, i He was observing oflioe hours Sunday j in Mr. Mac Bradley's woods and had i no special reason (inore's the pity !) to complain that business was dull. He was taken iuto court Monday and sent to jail. The boys ueed not have taken to their caves so readily Tuesday morning. The alleged recruitiug i officer who came iu ou the vestibule was only a visitor to our town whose i coming bad no military significance at all.

As soon as Chief Camp was notified of the arrest of a man at Greer's on the 13th instant, for i stealing a horse from Mr. Cline, of this place, he wired the officials there to release him, he being the wrong man. A postoffice is to be established at 1 Buffalo, in Cherokee township. i Ladies of the Presbyterian church < have arranged to serve ice cream every l Friday afternoon on Mr. R. C. Thompson's lawn. Improvements on Goat i Island are being pushed rapidly. The < 0. R. & C. now has a large force of hands 011 it cleaning it off" preparatory to the artistic work. Contractors are looking over the plans for the pavillious and will 'soon be at work on them. Water will be forced to the island from the crystal springs in the adjacent hills, and thus will the island be well supplied with the purest mountain water. Think of it. Goat Island, a little eden as it is. What will it be with its large pavillions, its graded walks and beautiful flower gardens which are soon to be on it? With the above improvements, tennis courts, " ? * 1 .it :ii r~i nali grounds ana Dam nouses win iuilow and furnish to Cherokee county the luxuries of the seashore amid the balmy breezes of the piedmont. Major John F. Jones, Blaeksburg's hustler, was in the city Saturday. The major was looking well, and his many friends were glad to greet him. CLEVELAND?Shelby Star, April 21. William Tiddy died in the State hospital at Morganton last Saturday night. Captain J. W. Gidney died last Saturday night. He was one of the most prominent and highly esteemed citizeus of the couDty.

He hasn't issued a marriage license since i the war has been imminent. A pleasant party of Shelby young people spent the day Saturday at King's i Mountain battle ground and enjoyed a picnic dinner. They went in a four seated surrey and drove four horses. The following composed the party: Dr. Delia Dixon, Misses Fannie Barnett, Elsie Hall, Lilly Wray, Cora Barnett and Irene Suttle and Messrs. George BlanCon and Joe Suttle. A subscriber tells us that this is locust year?the time for the locust to talk. "The locust talks," said he, "every 17 years, and the last time it talked was in 1881, and this is the year for it to talk again." Those who have never beard the locust talk should remember this and listen for the popping music as they walk through the forest this summer. Synodical Evangelist Wm. Black, son of our townsman, ' Mr. C. Black, is conducting a success- ' ful meeting at Graham Street church in Charlotte. The 2-year old son of Mrs. J. B. Price, of Hodge, died | last Thursday of spasms. The bereav- 1 ed mother has our sympathy in her ( sad affliction. The Negro, Mit ' Sadler, who murdered Bill Wells, f white, in No. 4 township, will probably be tried Friday. A special venire will be summoned today or Thursday. The concensus of opinion is that be will bang. Justice demands that this punishment shall be meted out to bim. It is a plain case and there should be no delay. It will require only ODe day for this trial it is thought. The dwelling house occupied by Tom Morris and owned by Reid Falls, of Ring's Mountain, was destroyed by Bre Sunday Dightahd nearly all of the contents burned. SPEECH FROM THE THRONE. Bow the Queen Regent Puts the Case to Her People. The Spanish cortes assembled in extraordinary session on Wednesday and the Associate Press synopsizes the speech of the queen regeut as follows: "The grave anxieties which saddened my rninu the last time I addressed you have increased, and are heightened by public uneasiness, conveying the preseutimeut of fresh and greater complications as a result of the turu which events in Cuba have taken. These ( complications were brought about by i a section of the people of the United I States which, seeing that the autono- ] my previously offered in my messuge was about to be put in force, foresaw " that the free manifestations of the Cuban people, through its chambers, j would frustrate forever the schemes t against Spanish sovereignty, which ] have been plotted by those who, with j resources and hopes sent from the neighboring coast, have fettered the | suppression of the insurrection in that 1 unhappy island. Should the govern- J meut of the United States yield to this \ blind current, nieuaces and insult, : which we have hitherto been able to ] regard with indifference, for they were (J not un expression of the sentiments of ] the true American nation, would be- ] come intolerable provocations, which 1 would compel mv government, in defence of the national dignity, to sever relations with the government of the United States. "In this supreme crisis the sacred voice of Him who represents human t justice on earth was raised in counsels t of peace and prudence, to which my ' government had no difficulty in heark- j euing, strong in the consciousness of i its right, and calm in the strict performance of its duties." ] Her majesty added : "Spain's gratitude is due to the pope, and also to the great Powers, whose action ' strengthens my conviction that Spain's , cause deserves universal sympathy, \ and that her conduct merits unani- < mous approval. "Possibly, however, the peace efforts { may fail to control the evil passions t excited against Spain. Lest this moment arrive, I have summoned the cortes to defend our rights, whatever j sacrifice they may entail. Thus iden- ? tifying myself with the nation, I not only fulfill the oath I swore in accepting the regeucy, but I follow the die- 1 lutes of a mother's heart, trusting to * the Spanish people to gather behind my sou's throne, and to defend it until ^ he is old enough to defend it himself, 1 as well as trustiug to the Spanish peo pie to defend the honor and the terri- Lory of the nation." The queen regent then referred to the trouble in the Philippine islands, and, continuing, said : "Although a | dark and gloomy future is before us, ^ the difficulties are not beyond our i powers. With our glorious army, r navy and the united nation before for- J eign aggression, we trust in God that we shall overcome, without stain on our hoDor, the baseless and unjust , attacks made upon us." ? ECKETARY ALGER. 1 It has been widely published that ! it is the policy of Secretary of War , Alger to place southern troops in the 1 front of the army that is to invade j Cuba. The alleged reason for this is ' because southern troops are supposed ! to be more nearly "acclimated." Sec- , retary Alger, however, has denied the ; statement as untrue. He says that it i will be the policy of the war department to assign troops to duty without j any sectional discrimination whatever. 1 ????????????i i im 1 iWAi J g| &4kiN0 POWDER Absolutely Pure FOR MAN AND BEAST SINCE announcing our medicine business, there has been great demand xom live stock owners for a reliable conlition powder and we now have it.

OFF TO THE WAR. rT may he owing to the strong probawiiliao nf with Snuin atlH to thft net that our certificates contain no restricions or forfeitures on account of war or iots, that TIIE CAROLINA BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION has, within the last ten days, made such wonderful trides. One agent alone, in four days, sent in 50 applications, and he remarked that he ould not have them examined fast nough to suit the applicants, as they vanted protection at once. This is truly ncouraging to the promoters of this )enevoleut and co-operative plan of life nsuranee, and it is a positive proof that he intelligent people of this section of the tate are anxious to foster a meritorious ndustrv. The plan is simply the n?ightors of the counties of which a division onsists, insuring themselves at cost, with nly an additional expense of $2 per apita to guarantee the management to be arried on upon systematic and business irinciples. We have been in business only about our weeks and have averaged over 100 pplications a week, and have only four ir five active agents in the field. We impose to put this equitable, cheap aud olvent plan of insurance within the reach f eveiy eligible man and woman within lie circuit of the various divisions. We ave not heard an adverse criticism upon ? ur plan of operation worthy of note since ;s introduction. ' We invite the most urupulous investigation and challenge lie world to produce a more equitable, more solvent and a cheaper plan of life rotection. D. E. BONEY, Manager. Rock Hill, S. C.
