Smith was also another cabinet officer
to quit Washington today. He has
gone to join the president at Lake
Champlain. The war department has
ordered that the Simpson hospital at
Old Point shall be open to the yellow
feyer patients at Soldiers' Home, and
everything is being done by the medical
departments of both the army and
navy to check the disease.
Adjutant General Corbin, who went
to Fortress Monroe Saturday night to
n?j ?4 1 4. \ir l:
spend ounaay, returned tu vrusuiugton
this morning and to him, while at
the fort, was made the official report
as to the existence of the scourge.
Naturally the announcement of yellow
fever at the Home aud the large
number of patients suffering, caused the
greatest excitement among the guests
of the hotels at Old Point, and additional
alarm was spread by the knowledge
that three large excursions had
arrived at Old Point yesterday, and
had spent the day visiting Hampton
and the Soldiers' Home. These excursionists
all returned to Norfolk and
other places last night before it became
generally known that yellow
fever existed.
MILLIONAIRE SOCIALIST.
Mayor Sam Jones, of Toledo, Becomes an

Mayor Sam M. Jones, of Toledo,
Ohio, promises to raise a big row in
his state if he can do so. He proposes
to be an independent candidate for
governor. He gave out for publica-*

following is a part:
"During the past two months I have
received hundreds of letters from all
classes of people in every part of
Ohio, urging me to become an independent
candidate for the office of
governor of the state. These letters
are not addressed to me because I
possess a peculiar fitness for this high
office; but because, as it appears to
me, I happen just now to stand in a
prominent position advocating principles
of human liberty that are as old
as time and as enduring as eternity.
"I believe in all of the people and
am, therefore, a man without a party.
I believe in the people as people, not
as partisans. I claim no privilege for
myself or for my children that I am
not ready to do my utmost to secure
for all others on equal terms.
"In this way I shall always be free
to vote and act for principles whatever
party name I bear on the one
hand, or independent of all parties, if
need be, on the other; and the whole
people shall always have the first claim
on my service and affections, rather
than a fragment of them named a political
party. The interest of all is the
great idea now claiming the attention
of patriots everywhere."
Referring to the failure of the workmen's
convention to get recognition
from either the uemocrais or ivepuoncans,
Mayor Jones says:
"In view of this situation, for the
purpose of testing the quality and extent
of the sentiment for an independent
candidate, I invite those who feel
that such a move should be made, to
write to me for blank petitions for correct
legal form upon which to secure
siguatures, petitioning the secretary of
state to place the name upou the ticket.
By careful study of the responses
to this letter we shall be able to decide
whether the sentiment is sufficiently
pronounced to warrant so great au
undertaking. If the decision shall be
affirmative, I will enter upon the duties
of the campaigu in the interest of the
larger humanity, wholly indifferent to
the consequences to me personally."
MERE-MENTION.
Lieutenant-Colonel Ernest Garlington
has been relieved from duty in the
office of inspector general in Washington
and ordered to Manila as inspector
general of the department of the
Pacific. The largest dairy in the
world is lcoated 14 miles from Newark,
N. J., the minimum number of
cows kept being 1,000. The proprietor
runs a ranch in Iowa for the special
purpose of supplying his dairy with
cows. Captain Dreyfus has just
recovered from a severe attack of
fever. Congressman Joe Bailey says
there is no doubt of the fact that there
is an offensive and defensive alliance
between the United States aud Great
Brituin, and that tne president, is
afraid to make the fact officially
known. The Spanish goverumeut
is trying Generals Toral, Bareja and
others on the charge of cowardice in the
surrender of Santiago. J. Edward
Addicks, the notorious Delaware poliitician,
has purchased iu Arizona a
tract of 1,200,000 acres of farming
land. The tract is as large as the state
of Delaware. Edward Marshall,
the correspondent who was wounded
at Las Guisamas, Cuba, has undergone
the amputation of a leg. More
than 50,000 people are out of employment
in Chicago as the result of a
strike of the bricklayers. Mississippi
river towns are protesting against
the plan whereby Chicago sewage is to
be conducted to the river by means of
a canal. General Miles has taken
up with Secretary Root the question,
"Who is commander of the army?
the senior general or the secretary of
war?" Quite a company of woman
elders left Philadelphia oue day last
week for England, where they propose
to do missionary work. There is a
report of an offensive and defensive
alliance between China and Japan.
Jacob S. Coxey, of Ohio, is arranging
to erect a $150,000 steel plant.
Mayor La Coste, of Havana, is
doing what he can to put a stop to
gambling in the city. The Cleveland,
Ohio, street car strikers are using
dynamite with which to convince the
public that it is unsafe to ride on the
boycotted lines. The public has taken
the hint and the cars are running
empty. In France, last Sunday,
two autombiles beat an express train
in a race of 226 miles, making the
distance in 7 hours and 35 minutes.
This Jew Is Something of a
Christian.?Dreyfus's attorneys, reports
a Paris correspondent, say that
when their client is acquitted, he will
not sue for damages, but as a matter of
principle will merely demand an indemnity
of one franc?20c.
In France the law recognizes the
right of the victim of a judicial error
to damages from the state, which must
proceed against all denunciators or
perjurers responsible for the condemnation,
prosecuting them criminally and
before civil courts also, in order to rej
cover, if possible, the sum paid to the
person wrongly convicted.
Some of Dreyfus's friends advise
him to follow this course, which would
mean ruin to all implicated in his conviction,
none of them being wealthy.
Dreyfus, however, steadfastly refuses
to "make money out of bis wife's tears i
and sufferings." He simply intended I
to draw bis back pay as an officer doing
colonial service; but the French
law does not allow this. Therefore, 20
cents is all the unfortunate captain
will get for his physical tortures and
mental anguish of five years.
WORK OF THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
After All Some Practical Results Were
Obtained.
The international peace conference
met for its final sitting last Saturday,
when it was announced that 16 states
had signed the arbitration convention,
15 the other two conventions, 17 the
declaration prohibiting throwing of
projectiles or explosives from balloons,
16 the declaratiou prohibiting the use
of asphyxiating gases, and 15 the declaration
prohibiting the use of expansive
bullets.
A letter was received from the Queen
of Holland to the pope, asking his
moral support of the conference. The
pope's reply, which was read, promised
co-operation, and racalled the fact that
tie Had many urnes penuimcu wc
function of arbitrator, and assured ber
majesty that in spite of his present abnormal
position, the pope would continue
to seek the advancement of civilization.
The three conventions dealing with
arbitration, the laws and customs of
war and the adaptation of the Geneva
convention to naval warfare, were not
signed by Germany, Austria-Hungary,
China, England, Italy, Japan, Luxomburg,
Servia, Switzerland or Turkey.
The United States signed only the arbitration
convention, and that under
reserve. Roumania also made reservation.
The three declarations prohibiting
the throwing of explosives from balloons,
the use of asphyxiating projectiles
and the use of dumdum bullets
were not signed by Germany, AustriaHungary,
China, England, Italy, Japan,
Luxemburg, Servia or Switzerland,
and the United States signed
only the declaration regarding the
throwiug of explosives from balloons.
TO CONQUER THE FILIPINOS.
A Volunteer Officer Says It Will Require
100,000 Men.
An officer of one of the volunteer
regiments in the Philippines, gave out
to the Associated Press the following,
under date of June 27 :
The arrival of the rainy season finds
the insurrection as vigorous as it ba9
been at any time since the outbreak.
The insurgent armies are well recruited,
notwithstanding their heavy losses,
and are well fed and clothed. They
have profitted by their five months oi
warfare against the Americans. They
are fast adapting American tactics and
are becoming better disciplined and
more skillful in the use of their weapons
every day. One hundred thousand
soldiers should be here ready for business
by the beginning of the dry season
in November. Garrisons could
then be stationed at strategic points.
A continuous warfare cannot be carried
on in this enervating climate by
the same troops. Frequent reliefs are
necessary. Troops should not be kept
longer than a year. Men from a
northern climate retain their native
vigor for six or eight months after
their arrival here and then begin to
succumb to the various ailments of
tropical weather. This is exemplified
in case of volunteer and regulars who
have been iu the Phillippines since
last summer. The most of them are
saturated with malaria, many have
rheumatism and all are greatly debilitated.
They are unfit for further duty
and recuperation seems slow and unsatisfactory.
As it is with them so it
is likely to be with their successors.
The eight million people of the Philippines
are as highly civilized as the
12,000,000 of Mexico. If the American
people will imagine the United
States to have acquired Mexico against
her will and to be engaged in an attempt
to put down an universal rebellion
of Mexicans with 20,000 troops,
tney win nave a aupncme picture
close range ot the situation in the
Philippines with the exception that the
climate of the Philippines is from 10 to
15 degrees more tropical than that of
Mexico.
To Entertain the Next National
Conventions.?"Chicago," says
the Chattauooga Times, "has curtly
notified both parties that Chicago does
not want to entertain their national
conventions this year. Chicago politicians,
of both parties, predict that the
conventions will go elsewhere, and
the politicians of the big and windy
town say that they are not sorry, not
a little. They say Kansas City, Milwaukee,
Buffalo, Iudianapolis, New
York, Denver?any old town?may
have the conventions, and welcome.
The Republicans seem inclined to go
to Denver. The Democrats will not
go to New York for manifest reasons.
Kansas City has raised $50,000 as a
bribe for the Democratic convention,
aud other towns may see her and go
her some better."
Yellow Fever In Virginia.?
There are 30 cases of what is believed
to be genuine yellow fever at the National
Soldiers' Home, near Hampton,
and three .deaths from the disease were
1 - J - ? *T , V
reported touay, says a i\ewpuri/ iuhs
dispatch of Sunday. There were several
other deaths at the institution
yesterday, but it caunot be stated touight
that all of them were caused by
yellow fever. Newport News and
Hampton will quarantine against the
Soldiers' Home. The government authorities
at Old Point have already
adopted this step, aud no street cars
are allowed to enter the reservation.
Quarantine Officer Hobson, of this
port, went to the Soldiers' Home tonight
and verified the statement that
there are now 30 cases of the disease
at the Home, aud that there were three
deaths from the malady today. While
no one outside of the Soldiers' Home
knew anything about the existence of
the yellow fever until today, it is said
that the disease made its appearance
three days ago. The mo9t rigid quarantine
regulations will be enforced to
prevent the spread of the malady.
The news has created great excitement
in Newport News, Old Point and
Hampton, and the most vigorous measures
were resorted to to prevent its
spread. There are 4,000 veterans at
the Home, and several large excursion
parties went through it last week.
The Next Congress.?The next
congress will be confronted with the
task of patching up the Dingley tariff
law, of fastening the odious stamp tax
more securely upon the people, of
avoiding any attack on the trusts
while formulating some sort of law
that will delude the people, and of

body of the greatest republic on the

Bale Brought $2,000.?The first
bale of the new crop of Texas cotton,
grown at Sinton, Patricia county, and
shipped by Governor Sayers, was sold
at public auction in front of the New
York Cotton Exchange last Monday for
the benefit of the Texas flood sufferers.
It brought $2,000. The bale was
redonated to the Exchange in order
that it might be sent to the Boston Exchange
to be auctioned off iu a like
manner. It will then be shipped to
some other point, and before it is
finally spun into yarn, it will, no
doubt, realize a good, round sum for
the flood sufferers. The market price
of the bale is $35.
Local License Suggestions.?A
license ordinance being under consideration
in Abbeville, The Press and
Banner makes the following decidedly
novel suggestions:
"1. That baseball teams be required
to pay license.
u2. That beggars, and all persons
presenting petitions for signatures, be
required to get license to pursue their
business.
"3. That "pullers-in," that is, curb
stone drummers, be required to pay
license. Men who pull a man into a
store should pay for the privilege."
SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.
South Carolina Won.
Mr. W. L. Moise, of Sumter, who
went to Monteagle, Tenn., as the representative
of South Carolina in the
southern collegiate oratorical contest,
held there on July 28th, says the Sumter
Item, came out with flying colors,
winning the medal over a number of
competitors who represented the various
colleges of the south. Mr. Moise
has a series of victories in oratorical
contests to his credit this year. He
won the right to represent Clemson college
at the iuter-collegiate oratorical
contest held at Due West. At Due
West he won the medal and the honor
of representing the state in the southern
oratorical contest at Monteagle,
and now be has carried off the honors
for his state against the strongest competition.
Annoymous, Therefore Idle.
Anderson special of Friday to The
News and Courier: A letter was received
yesterday by Andrew Todd, formerly
editor of the Anderson Journal,
in the nature of a threat that the Ne
groes here would soon sweep this city
thirty strong unless work or food is
given them at once. The letter was
deciphered and handed to Chief of Police
Dillingham, who in turn presented
it to Mayor Hood. The writing was
barely deciphered, but the epistle set
forth that country Negroes were hired
in preference to the city colored individuals,
and to keep the wolf from the
door the city Negro would have to
begin stealing for a livelihood. No
name was attached. The police authorities
do not fear a serious outbreak,
but their eyes are wide open.
Still Building Them.
New and Courier : Another big cotton
mill is projected in the state. This
time it is to be built at Easley, in Pickens
county, and the capital stock is to
be $200,000. The corporators are:
D. F. Bradley, W. H. Pickens, YVm.
Hagood, of Easley; J. M. Geer, of
Greenville, and J. E. Hagood, of Charleston.
This makes about eight big cotton
mills chartered in the state in the
past seven months of this year, and is
another evidence of bow this state is
outstripping all others in the manufacture
of cotton. If it keeps up South
Carolina will soon lead the whole
country in this industry. Already no
other southern state compares with
her in the same line. The whole Piedmont
section is alive to the possibilities
in cotton manufacturing. Most of
the new mills are being established in
that section of the state.
Death of Mm. Elizabeth M. Sadler.
Lancaster special of Sunday to the
Columbia State: Mrs. Elizabeth M.
Sadler, one of the oldest aud most respected
ladies of this place, died on
the 27th instant. She was a life-long
member of the Presbyterian church,
being the last survivor of those godly
men and women who organized the
church here about 70 years ago. She
was the daughter of the late Colonel
James Harvey Witherspoon, Sr., and
his wife, Jane Donom, the former having
removed from Williamsburg coun
ty to the Waxhaw settlement in this
county about the year 1800. Her
brothers and sisters were, Sarah Dunlay,
Mary Wardlaw, Nancy Thornwell,
Colonel I. D. Witherspoon, Sr.,
Colonel James H. Witherspoon, Jr.,
Hon. George McC. Witherspoon, ami
Rev. A. J. Witherspoon, D. D. Her
remains were interred in the Presbyrian
graveyard yesterday afternoon at
4 o'clock. Trie tunerai services were
conducted by her pastor, Rev. Chalmers
Fraser, assisted by her nephew,
Rev. James H. Thornwell, D. D., aud
Rev. H. B. Pratt, I). I).
From Chcraw to Lancaster.
Columbia State : The management
of the Chesterfield and Kershaw Rail
road company, the proposed road from
Cheraw to Laucaster, is working
quietly, but it is believed, effectively,
towards having the road built at an
early date. The promoters are satisfied
that it will be a profitable invest
ment for the company that builds it,
and a great benefit to a large and rich
section of country. Along the line
from Cheraw to Lancaster it would
pass through as fine farming section as
is to be found iD the state so far as
natural advantages are concerned.
There is also excellent timber along
the entire route, fine streams and an
economical and industrious people.
The road would run through fiue
* ? -1 3 - - 1- - _ iL. _S_t_
Kaonn deposits anu tatte iu me ncn
Jefferson gold miniDg region. In fact
the road would doubtless enter Brewer
mine, possibly the richest in the south.
It would be difficult to find in the
same distance anywhere a greater variety
of inducements to a proposed
road, and it is this that assures its early
completion.
Dispensary Profits.
Chairman Miles, of the state board
of control, left for Spartanburg today,
says a Columbia dispatch of Sunday.
He has been in Columbia during the
quarterly meetings of the legislative
committee. The report is about finished.
Mr. Miles said that the
report would show, that the profit
to the state during the quarter bad
been, in round numbers, about $30,000,
and the profit to the counties
and towns was about $34,000. This
shows a total profit of $64,000 durin
a quarter which Mr. Miles says is the
dullest in the year. He says the
board believes that this year the business
will show a total profit of nearly
$400,000. With such profits coming
in to county and city treasuries, a great
deal of opposition to the dispensary
vanishes. There are mighty few town
treasuries in the state, it is safe to say,
which do not most cordially welcome
its quarterly share of the profits.
Some of them, at least, get more now
than they did under the license system,
and that, of course, has its offset.

It Has All Changed.
The enormous profits of a
few years ago, which prevailed
in the jewelry business,
has all changed since
the advent of SPECK
in that line. The politician
would have you believe that
gold has a "standard" value,
while the old time jeweler
had its value at three times
"standard." Of course it
cost something to make the
metal in artistic designs,
but it is only a fair price
that SPECK wants and he
is the envy of all rivals.

of coats go at 25 cents.
The blade cut 10 cents off our
linen coats and they go now at
40 cents.
The reckless handling of this
big sword went a little too far
over and clipped 15 cents off our
50 cents Satine coats and left
them to go at 35 cents.
Linen or Crash suits caught
the blade and they go at from
$1.10 up to $2.50. The Alpaca
Coat and Vest department had a
regular "cake walk row" with
the blade, and the prices were so
fliof tl-io Viororain linn.

ter cannot afford to parley. We
don't care who gets them.
Allwool square cut double
breasted Blue Serge coats worth
$5.00, for $3.50 is what the blade
says.
A nice fancy, light colored,
Negligee Shirt at 15 cents is
where the blade struck in this
department, and to supply yourself
at once would need no suggestion
from us.
It's the same way with all
summer goods whether mentioned
or not
We are not going to carry over
any summer goods. We don't
have to. We only ask 10 cents
for 25 cents cloth hats, and our
fur hats caught the knife in a
greater ratio.
