Anderson Intelligencer. PVEUSBJED EVERY WEDNESDAY. J. J. OLINKSCALES, \ EDITOBS AND C. C. LANGSTON, f PBOPBIBTOBS. TERMS: ONE YEAR.".fl 50 SIX MONTHS .75 WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 1898. China has paid $55,000,000 of war indemnity to Japan, thus closing the account. By this transaction China has taken herself out of pawn and is again"ready to do business. For the first time in its history the cigarette will perform a useful func tion. As we see our boys sucking away at the nauseous white rolls we can gather some slight satisfaction from the thought that each package is paying its share towards carrying on the war. H. W. Cottonwood, editor of the Rural New Forker, has taken a census ef the hens of the United States. He figures out the chickens of the country at 375,000,000, and their product in 1897 at 14,400,000,000 eggs, of a value of $105,000,000, while poultry sales realized $125,000,000 more, making ; ?he total value of the hen crop $200, 000,000. _ The latest news this morning from the seat of war at Santiago is to the effect that a tropical storm is raging OB the south coast of Cuba, and as a ; consequence the bombardment of the ?ity has been deferred. Gen. Shafter has repeated his demand for the sur render of tte city. If the Spaniards do not surrender the city will be de alroyed in the next twenty-four hours By our fleet Those of Uncle Sam's volunteers who think that $13 per month is small pay may find consolation in the knowl edge that the common soldier in Rus sia receives three rubles per annum, which is about $2.25. The day's ration? consist of two pounds of suchary, a kind of black bread, which is very coarse and made of cracked rye, baked hard at first, then cut into small pieces and further dried ina heated oven, a small quantity of salt and some soup. It is a fact that some of our war ships are going to Spain. Commodore Watson's first objective point w?rbe the Canary .Islands, where he will seise a base of supplies and will then proceed to the ooast of Spain to bom bard Fevrol, Carthagena and Barce lona, where the ship yards are located. Should Camara be reached, a gi eat saval engagement in Spanish waten will be fought. Watson will eventu ally be reinforced by the Brooklyn, Indiana, Columbia, St. Paul, St. Louis and Minneapolis. The tax of two cents on each and every $100 worth of stocks and bonds bought and sold will bring in a large - revenue to the government. Business at the regular stock exchange in New York has averaged about 400,000 shares a day lately and that means a daily assessment of $8,000. Then there are the other big exchanges there, whose contributions will be heavy, and there are the-taxes on bank checks, bills of exchange and and the capital stock and funded debts of the big corporations. All together it is calculated that Wall street will contribute about $13,000, 000 a year to the war sinews. No matter how long the war con tinues nor how it may end, deeds hi.ve already been performed that will make glorious the pages of American history and sing the praises of Ameri can valor' throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity. Napoleon at Marengo, Wellington at Wateloo, Nelson at Trafalgar achieved no greater success than did Dewey at Manila, 'and the immortal charge of the Light Brigade, yea even the heroic stand at Ther mopylae is equalled in heroism and* glory by the daring feat of Lieut. Hobson and MB companions at Santi ago. Having demonstrated cur supe riority in the arts of peace for many years, we now take occasion to con vince the world that the spirit of Washington and Jackson has not de parted from us in the mad rush for gain. ' The Black Diamond Railroad. MB. EDITOR : The following clip ping, taken from the Cincinnati /In quirer, will show our people that the Black Diamond is neither dead nor sleeping. President Kirkby, under date of June 28th, writes me that the Directors on all the lines north of South Carolina line met on that day in Cynthiana, Ky., and made a con tract for the English expert to go over all thc proposed lines. We will be called upon right away to pay our pro rata share of the charges of the ex pert. I desire all persons who are in terested in this Road, and especially members of tho Promoting Committee, to meet me at Anderson, S. C., next Monday, July ll. We must either put up'or shut up. If our people will not lend a helping hand, then I will so notify these gentlemen who have the matter in charge, so that they may not incur any further ex-1 pense in trying to help us. Possibly, our people may prefer, fro/n force of habit, to remain side-tracked. Yours truly, J. L. TRIBBLE. Mr. T. C. Dickinson, of Washing ton, D. C., who is the financial agent of the projected Black Diamond Bail road system in Europe, is at the Gran all aglow with the prospects of th road. "I am just in from Cynthian Ky.," said he, "where a most harmo nious and successful meeting of the Directors of the consolidated compa nies was held. There were perhaps forty prominent men present, repre senting the companies of the system extending from Ohio through several Southern States to the sea. The Eng lish capitalists whom I have interest ed in the enterprise during my five years residence in London have agreed to put up all the money necessary for the building and equipping of th J sys tem of 1,200 miles, estimated at $40 000,000, contingent upon a favorable report from Sir Thomas TaDcered (pro nounccd Tankard), the most famous railroad eDgineer expert and builder in the British Empire, who put through great railway lines in Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and other countries He was paid $10,000 to come out here this spring and pass upon the possibil ities of a railway from Skagaway to Lake Bennett,- Alaska, over th White Pass, which he pronounced perfectly feasible, and" in consequence of his report five of the 48 miles of thc line have already been construct cd. He told me that the road re quires no extraordinary engineering skill. I submitted the profiles of our Black Diamond system to Sir Thomas some time since, and he pronounc ed them among the best that had ever come under his scrutiny. 1 have cabled him to tome to this conn try as soon as convenient, and I go from here via Washington to meet him in New York, and expect td have him in Cincinnati in two weeks from to-day, where we will start out over the surveys. I apprehend that he will go over every mile of the trunk line horseback, and if his report is favorable we will get all the money in England that we want-in fact it has all been arranged for in that event If his report is adverse, which I do not anticipate, our cake will be all dough At the Cynthiana meeting of the Board of Directors this week $10,000 was sub scribed to pay the expenses and fee for this tour of inspection. Our fran chises are first-class, and with the graded lines of old abandoned routes and tunnels nearly completed, I am sure that the system can be put through to the sea from Ohio and Indiana con siderably under the estimate of $40, 000,000. There is an abundance ef money in England awaiting invest ment, and American securities have not suffered a whit by the war, where as I see that Spanish consols were shut out of the market June-29. Hopewell Items. We country folks are happy now Crops are looking doe; made a good crop of wheat, and blackberries are ripe Don't you envy us, Mr. Editor? Mr. ?. M. Duckworth is very low with typhoid fever. We had a large congregation at Hope well Sundav, and our pastor preached an excellent sermon.

Misses Ada and Ida Yandi ver, from Williamston. worshipped with the Hope well congregation on Sunday. Mr. Jim Wyatt and wife, from Brushy Creek, visited in our burg Saturday. The hour for prayer-meeting has been changed to half-past four o'clock Sunday afternoon. x GRANDMA'S PET. In Memoriam. On Friday morning, June 24th, Mrs O. B. Creamer quietly passed away, after kn illness of about three weeks. She leaves a disconsolate husband and eleven children to mourn her departure. She wat buried at Beaverdam Church, after appropriate funeral services bad been performed by Rev. W. B. Hawkins She bad been a consistent member of the Baptist Church for many years, and il lustrated her profession by a blameless life. At home she was the joy of the household, and we deeply sympathize with tbe afflicted husband and the orphan children. We commend them in this hour of sore trial to tho loving care of a compassionate Saviour.
