Fttzhugh Lee, by President Cleveland, co be Consul General at Havana, is taken as evidence of a determination on the part of the Fresident to secure fuller and more ac curate, information as to the real status of affairs on the Island, before betakes action on the concurrent resolutions re cently passed by Congress. This is emi nently proper, as hasty action on the part of4he Fresident would be inexcusa ble, in view of the grave consequences which may result from a recognition of the belligerent rights of the Cubans. Tbe President may, we think, be relied upon to do the right thing in this matter. The Rev. Dr. Diaz, whose imprison ment by the Spanish authorities in Cuba we chronicled last week, bas been re leased and ordered to leave tbe Island Tbi0~hs8 resulted from tbe determined action taken by the Bap tist churches of the Soutb, in regard to the matter, and well illustrates the power of united action, gieveral' Congressmen from the South exei '?d themselves in his behalf, among others Wilson and Tal b'a'rt, of thls-State, and the "Butcher" soon found that it would be very "unhealthy" for him to hold the great preacher longer. It is said *.hat Dr. Diaz was well treated while incarcerated, that is for Spanish prisons? being kept in a clean, airy room, and allowed many privileges denied to other prisoners. He* will leave Cuba in a few days, and is expected in Chattanoo ga, during-the session of the Sontbern Baptist Convention next week. His work aba will be suspended for a while. His brother has also been released. IN*-, > The following editorial on quarrels over the rem ns of deceased relatives is fc^ tiken from tho St. Paul Dispatch. "Nothing can be more unseemly than a family quarrel over tbe remains of a deceased relative, and regarding where they shall finally reut These questions seem to have become more frequent. It is only a short time since one of those un seemly quarrels became a notorious scandal in Sionx City. Now one has sprung up at Council Bluffa, where a brother and the wife of the deceased are quarreling over the final resting place of '~~ a deceased brother and hn&band. The L scandalous scene of a sheriff's officer and ' an undertaker executing a writ of re / plevin, after the body had been buried, and then moved to another grave, was Hfeenacted. The courts of final resort in some of the States have determined that death dissolves tbe marital relation, so that the widow gains no control over the "T^ramains of her former husband forpur "/ '. pases of burial. This seems to be an un? I feeling- disposition of the question, es pecially where ihe' marital relation dur ? ing a long series of years has been an ex ! ceedingly happy one. Few or noneot ' ' the States have passed any statutes re gar ding this matter, but for the sake of avoiding scandal or unneemly conten tions, often at the open grave itself, this L matter should not be left in t he unset tled condition that it is. Tbe rule which has been established by the courts, so far as it has been determined against tbe wife, is an exceedingl y technical one and ropul3lye.to ordinary feelings. A statute should define the relation that results from death, and if anything is done in that respect, it should, be in favor of the ife, no matter what any technical rule ow may determine. - ?* mm Much has been said and written about e race problem confronting the South. Np solution of it yet proposed has met general acceptance. Probably the dis cussion of the question thus far has re-' salted la little beyond securing recogni onoflts importance as* only less than that of _slayery itself. Are we drifting, and are we to continue todrilt, as before the war, until danger becomes im-. | minent and critical? Howa fares it with the patient who has rejected the prescrip tions of the social doctors? It is the eerful thesis of a noteworthy article by r. A. S. Van de Graaff, of Alabama, hloh will appear in the May Forum, that Ellis well ; that the problem is al ready in process of solution by the spon taneous operation of tbe same- fnndamen economis law which, under the differ ent conditions of slavery, brought it into istence. The race problem., in Mr. Van de ?raafTs opinion, arises out of the unequal distribution of the negroes in the United States. "It will certainly be agreed that, if the negroes now within our borders?were evenly distributed over the country so that in no State or region did they form more than one ighthofits population, we would have o race problem in the uense in which we commonly speak of it as existing now. t is the presence of?sn undue proportion of negroes in the Southern States that at nee gives rise to the race problem and makes it a question belonging particular ly to the South." Mr. Van de Graaff I gives the result of h's investigations, ex tending over a number of years, into tbe movement of negroes in the South, and the results as he presents them in bis Forum article are very striking. For they show conclusively that overmuch the greater portion of th e South the race problem :doe8 not} exist; In th j sense in which he has defined it. In the whole South the tendency is toward a more nal distribution of tho blacks and tbe patlon of black majorities. A re narkable tendency also exists on the rt of the negro to drift away from the rmain to the cities. This passing ot e negro from the fieldn into tbe towns is, in Mr. Van de GraafFs opinion, "ob ioualy a fact of the greatest importance, ot only in its bearing upon his statu-? d distribution within the South itself J it also upon the question whether he is remain In tbe South in relatively ex _isive numbers and as *n element of its population not shared in an appreciable degree by the North. Once loosed from the stability of country life, taught to maintain himself in the city, and placed on the great highways of travel, the ne gro has. taken the first and longest step out ot ibe South altogether. The transi tion from Richmond to Philadelphia, or from Nashville to Chicago, is compara tively easy, and it may be made by easy stages." In briel, Mr. Van de Graar?s figures suCQce to show that the negro is capable of migration on a large scale, and that neither by choice nor ne - cessity is he to remain fixed in tbe South ern States.. Mr. Van de Graaff concludes his Forum article?a notable one it is too ?with a just tribute to the Soath's prac tically undeveloped resources and bound less) possibilities. Se says: "Great as has been the industrial advance made, considerable as appears tho present im migration movement, they but faintly foreshadow tbe development now at hand. If so much has been done in tbe lastthirty years under such disadvanta ges and practically unaided by immigra tion, what may we not expect when that rich tide which has created the Empire States of the Northwest is turned in even greater volume Southward? Only the marvellous growth of the great West itself can guide tbe imagination in attempting the forecasf, and_eyen that must be sur passed. To the South unquestionably be longs the fqtore/? M* \ r * I A Joyful Week in Charleston. We are again at onr an cable post of duty after a most delightful week's Btay in Charleston, so often reierred to as "the grand old city by the sea," and we be lieve our opinion is the opinion of every visitor who spent the week in the city when we say that Charleston has again covered herself with glory. The occasion of our visit was to attend the 22nd annual, meeting of the South Carolina State P'reBS Association, which, with the Sonth Caro lina Division of United Confederate Vete rans, had been invited to hold its annual meeting there. We arrived on the even ing of the 21st, and every train which came into the city that evening was loaded with veterans and visitors from every section of the State. Everybody was cor dially welcomed at the several depots by special committees appointed for the pur pose, and all felt that they were in the hands of home-folks at once. Wednesday morning the^trainB coming into the city were again crowded, and it was soon evident that the hotels and boarding houses would have all the business they could attend to. The main thorough fares were decorated with flags and hunt ing, and on every ' street the Veterans could be*distinguished by the beautiful badges which they wore, and which had been provided by the local Camps. The Veterans held their meetings, in the old German Artillery Hall, on Meet ing street, where every convenience and comfort were provided for them. We re gret circumstances prevented us from attending only the welcome meeting. The Veterans were in Bession the greater portion of three days, and during their recesses they were entertained by visit ing varions places of amusements, ex cursions around the harbor and indulging in refreshments furnished by tbe noble women free of cost. Distinguished he roe3 were present from other States, and interesting addresses were delivered at intervals during the meeting. Onr only regret is that every Veteran in the State was not present to participate in these meetings and enjoy the hospitality of the citizens of Charleston. The meeting next year will be held in Greenville. The Press Association convened on Thursday morning in Hibernian Hall, and was warmly welcomed to the city by Mayor Smythe and Mr. Welch, Pres ident of the Young Men's Business League. To theae addresses President Aull, in behalf the Association, respond ed. Invitations were received to attend all the meetings of the U. C. V., partici pate in all the excursions and atteud all places of amusement, etc. The Associ ation was in session two days, and its meetings throughout were exceedingly interesting to the members. The papers read before the Association were as fol lows : "Uniformity in Capitalization and Punctuation," by H. G. Osteen, of the Su m ter Daily Item. " The Moral Side of a Newspaper," by the Rev. W. P. Jacobs, D. D., of Our Monthly, Clinton, S. C. " Scraps of History of Journalism in South Carolina," by Yates Snowden, of the News and Courier. The officers elected were: President, E. H. Aull, of Newberry ; First Vice President, H. G. Osteen, of Sumter; Second Vice President, W. P. Jacobs, of Clinton ; Secretary, C. C. Langston, of Anderson; Treasurer, F. Melchers, of Charleston ; Chaplain, Rev. Sidi. H. Browne, of Columbia, Executive Com mittee: Messrs. W. W. Ball, of Charles ton, M. B. McSweeney, of Hampton, and Louis Appelfc, of Manning. The journalists spent the recesses see ing the sights of the city, and on Friday night adjourned, after indulging in a most elegant and sumptuous'banquet tendered them at the Charleston Hotel by the Young Men's Business League. The Association will meet in Newberry next year. The weather throughout the week was all tbat could be desired, and all the edi tors, like the Veterans and other visitors, regretted that their stay in the dear old city could not be prolonged. A larger number of States will partici pate in this year's Presidential election than in any previous Presidential election in tbe United States, and a larger num ber of the States, too, will vote on the same day, Tuesday, November 3, than ever heretofore, the list ot States holding preliminary spring or autumn elections having been steadily reduced of late years. Mr. Sherard Again Replies. Editors Intelligekcer : Again Mr. Fant gives vent to his pent up feelings, and begins by saving tbat be purposes to handle me in a fail and dispassionate manner, yet he launches forth with a tirade of abuse and insult and presents his senti ments iu such language a? only tbe blindest frenzy of rage- could suggest to tbe most presumptuous of fool?. However, it is only what could be expected from such a person. I have no apologies to make and nothing to retract. In regard to the charges in my previous articles I siy they are absolutely true, and again I reiterate them. With unflinching courage I 6hall tenaciously adhere to what I have written and will defend -it whenever attacked. The Chief Spy's charges aeainBt me are utterly false and without foundation. Where is bin proof? He has none, but being steeped in his pertinacity of malice and hatred resort* to cowardly falsehoods to gratify a spirit of revenge which is so characteristic of persons who abhor tbe truth. Bat as he is corrupt bow can his statements be.otber than corrupting? He also claims that I think the public will accept anything tbat I Bay without any " corroborating facts," and say? tbat I "am sadly mistaken ;" but be assumes tbat what he lets fall from bis lips will bs received as the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth Tbe irjfl-ued conceit of bla own merit is absolutely unparalled ! If the public will not receive anything tbat I say without "corroborating facts," why is it tbat the "good, truthful, high-toned" Citizens of the Corner Township believe every word tbat I have written ? Why is It tbat come of tbe be-t men in this township have per sonally confirmed my charges? Why is it tbat some of tbe best citizens of Ander son County bave accepted what I have said without questioning its truthfulness? If what I say is false, why do the leading citizens of this township not deny it and show that I have misrepresented tbe state of affaire that exist here? There is not a respectable person in Corner Township who will condemn and deny mv charges. VIy statements concerning the liquor busi ness here are true and will be verified when responsible persons take the matter into tbeir bands. As to tbe charges against tbe Chief Spy I need only say tbat they are soif ovident. I would not insult tbe people of Anderson County by telling tbem what they already know. In regird to the insinuation tbat some one is doing my corresponding I desire to dimply say that it Is a lie. I do my own writing, and everything that appears over my name is ray own production. Because he bad to get persons to write each of hi? <:ro"sly indelicate and disgusting articles, the spy must not conclude that all persons are ptiBil lam mous idiots like himself. He *tat63 th-tt my charges are contradicted by -my own words. This is another false accnsition, but the ignorant spy knew no better. As he is endowed with little or no intelligence it naturally follows tbat bis ability for comprehending what others write 1b proportionally email. In conclusion I desire to reaffirm every thing that I have writen and will stand to It regardless of what the insolent spy may say. Hereafter I shall not condescend to observe anything that he might say ; I cannot further compromise myself by re gardiDg a man who is b?oeath my notice. A. Bbatt Sherabd. Moffattsville, ? C. ? One of the articles of food most prized by the Chinese on the Pacific coast is dried duck. An American in Contra Costa County, California, has started a duck dryiug business and has a monopoly of the Chinese trade. He buys hundreds of ducks from hunters, fills tbem with salt and bangs tbem in tbe sun for six weeks. They become as hnrd as sole lpather or dMe-. codfish and will keep in - definitely. The Chinese used to import their dried duck from China, but now patronize the home industry almost ex clusively, I Tb. 3 Norris Cotton Mill. Silently, placidly the Twelve-mile rolls by Piokene and lavee the feet of the ever lasting hills in its course to tbe sea. It moven slowly. Down below the mouth of Golden Creek huge gray boulders seem to have conspired to arrest its on ward course. But it gathered in its strength, and pressed through the bar riers and for these many years it has been leaping down those beautiful cascades, joyfully singing the bewitching Bong of Minnehaha, till the ear of commerce at tuned to the eternal trill of its music came to hear it sing. Seeing that it pos sessed not only tbe charm of mnBic, but the dignity of great power, Commerce said: "Will you help me with my work?" Without a pause in its leaping, its laugh ing and its singing, Twelve-mile said: "Yes. if you will put the harness on me, I'll roll your wheels." That is just what tbe Norris Cotton Mill Company is doing with an energy and push calculated to astonish any citizen of Pickena County who bas time to go down and see the mag nificent results from a few months of well directed labor. We do not believe that thero is a site in tbe State as well adapted to tbe erection and successful operation of a ootton fac tory as as that chosen by the Norris Cot ton Mill company. The topography of the site selected for tbe town io such as to give the most satisfactory urainage, and is at tbe same time so picturesque as to gratify the taste of the most fastidious. No architect could have designed a more beautiful model for the express pur pose. From a switch on the Southern Rail way, nearly one mile distant, the town is approached by a perfectly and gently graded roadway. This terminates on a level plateau in front of an elegant two story building, 100 feet long by 30 feet wide. On the first floor of thin building is as elegant a store room as can be found in tbe Piedmont aecti6n. This store is provided with two genteel and most ac commodating clerke, John F. Banister and Harry Stribbling. The streets are tastefully laid out and under the super intendency of L. R. Bats, contractor, they will soon be adorned with their quota of neat cottages. There are up wards of three hundred inhabitants there now, and house room for a good many more. The factory building is down by tbe side of tbe river on a loundation of solid granite, with a basement reaobing above high water mark, made of granite boul ders, found on the spot where they were needed. This building is to be four sto ries high, and the walls are now comple ted to the second Btory. The brick and lumber, like the granite, have been pro cured without one dollar of expense for freight. This item alone represents an immense Baving to the company. Besides this, Col. Norris, the president, is calling into requisition the best skill and every modern device for Baving la bor and expense, and making the most of every natural advantage. For in stance, instead of baving to erect a Btand pipe he will dig a cistern on a promon tory of such elevation as to give the ne cessary pressure to afford ample protec tion from fire to all the warehouses and the factory. Nor will many feet of hose be required. The purest and best build ing sand we have ever seen was mined in sixty feet of the factory, and at no great er depth than four to six feet. But tbe dam is the great work now on band, and it will be completed in about I three wiseks. It is made of massive boul ders of granite laid in hydraulic cement, and, of course, extends from one Bide of tbe rock-walled channel to tbe other. The great flume which is to conduct the water from the dam to the wheels on the hither Bide of the stream is seven feet in diameter. It is tho great iron throat through which the factory will ever try to drink the river dry, and thence de rive its beat, strength, light, motion and life. Col. Morris called attention to tbe fact that the axis of tbe water wheel is on a plane with tbe bottom of tbe dam, but tbe pressure gained by tbe erection of tbe dam is not more than half the available power, as the water at the wheel bas an elevation of some 15 feet or more, this mnch additional pressure is entirely util ized by means of having the escape down pipe of the same capacity as the flume. So tbe water that Ib used to pull with as much if not greater force. This 1b a triumph of modern bydraulio engineer ing. _ Our space forbids such a description as the work already accomplished well de serves, bnt we hope to come nearer doing the subject justice on some future occa sion. It is certainly a great boon for Pickens County and the Piedmont sec tion.?Pickena Sentinel. The Bee has got Ben. Washington, April 25.?Senator Till man told me to-day that on his western tour he had taken a good many band pri maries and found everybody for silver. The Senator's familiar hand primary was, be says, well received wherever he in troduced it. When I asked Tillman about the situation in South Carolina he said: "The State' is all right. The only trouble is that a lot of politicians don't know where in the bell to stop." He aayu there will be only one State convention. The Senator has abandoned his idea to speak in South Carolina, but will soon leave on a Southern tour. He will first speak in Georgia, then go to Alabama, Florida, Texas, Arkansas and other Stntes. Tillman is in i;he race for tbe presidential nomination at Chicago and is laying his wires for ail he is worth. He says tbe silver men will control there. He expects support from numerous Western and Southern States He holds that seces sionist sentiment, against a South Carolina man has died out,?Special to Greenville News. Washington, D. C. April24.?Sonator Tillman returned to Washington to-day from his Western tour, and entertained bis political friends with an account of hit experience in tbe free silver regions of th9 West. He wore on his coat a silver badge, surmounted with an eagle, under which was inscri bed "16 to 1." The Sen ator remarked that modesty prevented him from saying that be was accorded an enthusiastic reception in St. Louis, Den ver and wherever he appeared in public. He referred to tbe full reports of his speeches, published in all of the leading papers of the country, and added that he had much better success than some of tbe ''eoidbug" speakers who wont into the West to try to enlighten the people on the financial question. Wherever he went, he says, he found tbe people wedded to tbe frea silver cause and prepared to go to any reasonable length to secure recog nition for the white metal. To use his own expression, "the West is wild for free silver, and they intend *o instruct their delegates to tbe Chicago convention to secure free silver or burst." Tbe Senator says be heard a good deal of talking about Bland for president in Missouri, but that talk did not extend much beyond tbe confines of that State. Tbe silver people of the west are not com mitting themselves to any candidate at this time, but they seem to be most earnestly engaged in mustering their forces "to fight the goldbugs." "What about your own presidential prospects?" asked your correspondent. "Oh," replied the Senator, laughing, "they did not say much to me about that matter, but they were thinking about it all the time." "Is there any disposition on the part of the free silver people of the west and the southwest to try to reach an equitable agreement with their sound money breth ren at Chicago?" "I don't see any prospect of an adjust ment of the difficulty unless the goldbugs surrender. There is no chance for com promise. We will never consent to enter into any further compromise agree ments. We have had enough ofthat kind of business in the past. Why, they have compromised us out of the contest every time for the past thirty years and there is nothing for us to do but to demand an unequivocal and complete surrender. We will go to the convention with a fixed determination to exercise our full power, and if the goldbugs are not willing to listen to us they must take tbe conse quences " Tho Senator says u j has not the slightest doubt that the free Bilver men will have a good working majority in the Chicago convention and unless the sound money men are willing to submit to tbe dictation of the majority they will have to take the responsibility of bolting. On the other hand, if the sound money men should control the convention, Senator Tillman says, the free silver men will leave the convention and set up another party. Senator Tillman went over to the house during the day and visited bis friends in the South Carolina delegation. He re peated to them in substance what is above stated and also conferred with them about State politics. The impression grows stronger in the South Carolina colony that Governor Evans may have to defer his senatorial aspirations until some future period. While Senator Tillman is friendly with Governor Evans, and would like to have him as a colleague in the Senate, there in a growing sentiment in the .-t?te, accord ing to reports received here, that ho ia not the man to put forward for Senator Irby's place. Ilepreaentative Talbert, who has been mentioned ?.s a senatorial possibility, says he is contented to remain in tho House, and Le will not be in tbe senator ial or gubernatorial race.?Special tQ News and Courier. t0t Interest to Wfieelmen.

The citizens should co operate with the wheel men and each donate a small amount for prizes, as it takes good prizes to make a race interesting and to induce riders from a distance to compete. Let's see how our riders compare with others in speed. Newberry has a neat one-fifth mile track with a ?ne surface- Maxwell rode a half-mile on same in 1 041, which is State record for that distance. Adams also put the mile at 2.14 2-5, which is State record, and was made on same track. Very good for 8outhern men. indeed !

Mr. Editor : Some smart Alecks, sometimes from an over-estimated sense of their own importance, and an uncon querable desire to figure before the pub lic in venting tbeir idea*, and of seeing their names in print through thecolumns of some newspaper, overstep the bounds of propriety, in allowing these incentives to control their judgment, if they have any, and either wilfully or unwittingly state untruths and jump to some very far-fetched conclusions, not at all in con formity to tbe facts. These reflections are the result cf reading a paragraph in your last valuable paper over the signa ture of ' Touch-me-not." Misstat?ment, or rather insinuation, No. 1 : "Swamp Fox" neither wrote nor evon suggested one line or word of "Ellis' " reply to a rap given him ic the Intelligencer of a week before. Misstatement No. 2: "He went over to one of his close neigh bors (who had just returned from a visit to the young lady) to and ont if she was coming." That has no foundation what ever iu fact. That evening Ellis' mother did call upon the family of her nearest neighbor. During tbe conversation, in cident to tbe ?.bove friendly call, when conversation drifted to the late visit of some of the family to tbehome of a young male friend, where also was the home of the young lady to whom reference has been made, "Ellis' " mother did ask if they beard anything of the young man coming to visit Ellis tbat night. He bad requested her while there to inquire. "Touch-me-not" tried to persuade "El lis' " mother to tell him the young lady was also ccming. "Touch-me-not" should not, as it indicates evil propensi ties, make even harmless misstatements, if such they are. Misstatement No. 3: Tbat no such n thing as Ellis being at work had ever been known before. This so far oversteps, tbe bounds of truth tbat no one, not dominated by a desire to state idle freaks of imagination, could have gotten it up. " In conclusion, Mr. Editor, I should not have noticed these wild, uncalled for and?I need not say what else?state ments of "Touch-me-not," if he had sim ply remained within tbe confines of truth in reference to me, and have refrained from bringing a young lady into the matter. My reply has been called forth more in defence of this young lady than myself. Nothing that "Touch-me-not" ' could 'say could say would injure me. but be must be careful how he in future links tbe name or person of any young lady with myself, who is one of the most beautiful and accomplished among my acquaintances.
