The fwork of paying Cuban soldiers the $75 each, has taken such hold now that despite the effort of officers to the contrary there will be a regular tumb ling over each other after it before the $3,000,000 is exhausted, we predict. m * m Gov. Sayers, of Texas, has issued the call foi the conference of Governors and Attorney. Generals of the different States to consider anti-trust legisla tion. The Governor has named St. Louis as the place of meeting and the date is Sept. 20. The New York Republican Congress men, in caucus, decided to support ?Gen. David B* Henderson for Speaker . instead of their home man Representa tive Sherman. The race had narrowed down to these two candidates, practi cally, and this action, barring the change that is likely to come over Tom Reed's mind, means that Henderson will be next; speaker. The Democrats regard him as a picnic. -- ? . ? - It is generally accepted that the Porto Rican commission will recom mend the speedy establishment" of a territorial government in that depen dency. Self-government under the United States7 Constitution is a great privilege, but those under the jurisdic tion of our government who are fit for it and deserre it can claim' it as a right. General Henry has stated that the peo ple of Porto Rico are abundantly able to administer justice in their own land, and this is relied upon by the Porto Rican commissioners to prove fitness for legislative autonomy. W. R. Crawford, the State Constable s who 'killed Mrs. Stuart in her own home in Colombia last winter, was toed in Camden last week and acquit ted. This was what we expected, when he secured. a change of venue from Richland County to Kershaw County. Had he not been a State Constable and had been caught with a little ''blind tiger" whiskey in his possession, he would certainly have been convicted and punished, but for shooting and killing a helpless woman he goes free, and, no doubt, the attorneys who de fended him w?l be paid liberal fees by the State for their services. Oh, con sistency, thou art a jewel. When Courts and Juries fail to do their duty, Judge Lynch has good ground to step in and do his duty. On July 25th the annual reunion of the South Carolina Division United Confederate Veterans is to be held in the city of Chester, and although prac tically all the camps in. the State at tended the general reunion in Charles ton, it is expected that all will be at the State reunion. Chester promises every veteran that attends a royal re ception. The delegates from Ander son should be authorized to extend an. j invitation to the veterans io meet in Anderson next year. We should think over the matter, and let our municipal and County officials with the citizens rerally cend ina formal invitation the delegates from Anderson. It will do our honored old veterans and our County good to have these vete rans meet here. I There seems to be little prospect of that uniformity of State laws regula ting marriage and divorce, which is so desirable and which has been so long advocated by those who appreciate the demoralizing effects of the loose divorce system that prevails in many parts of the country. The American Bar Asso ciation has given its powerful influence to this reform movement, but we do not believe that the wisest men even in that distinguished organization could frame a divorce law which would be accepted by all the States. To some of them it would seem too stringent and to others too lax, for in the forty four States which constitute the Union we find widely divergent views and practices regarding divorce. Perhaps it would be best after all for every State te adopt South Carolina's law, no divorce under any circumstances. The final act of the Supreme Court in Colombia before adjourning fer the spring term was to file an important decision affecting the dispensary law. The dispensary people, when accept ing the decision of the United States Supreme Court that liquor could be brought into the State for personal use by common carrier, always declined to admit the right of a citizen to bring into the State or have brought into the State by private conveyance liquor for his own use. There has been a num ber of cases where men bringing whis key across the North Carolina line for their own use have been arrested and the liquor and teams confiscated. It was on a case of this character that a test was made. Three men from Ches terfield County went over into North Carolina, where they purchased twenty gallons of whiskey. When they re turned home they were arrested by State constables, their team and liquor being confiscated. They were tried and convicted, and appealed, {?was on this appeal the case was brought up. Acting under provisions of the new Constitution and for the second time the Supreme Court called the judges en bane. Judges Ernest Gary, Gage and Benet did not sit. Justice Jones ? filed a dissenting opinion, concurred in by Justice Pope and Judges Townsend and Klogh. The opinion of the ma jority of the Court, reversing the lower Court, waa given by Justice E. B. Gary, concurred in by Chief Justice Mciver, and Judges Aldrich, Watts and Buch anan. 7 he majority, therefore, had but one to spare. So now a citizen of South Carolina can drive over into North Carolina, cross the Savannah River into Georgia, or send his team over with,an agent, buy whiskey for his own use and return with.it. The law protects him. Rebuilding the Home of (ieu. Hampton. ANDERSON, S. C., J nue 10.1809. We have been appointed by the Cen tral Committee, a Committee tor An derson County, to solicit and secure contributions to the fund which is being raised throughout South Carolina for the purpose of rebuilding the home of ! Gen. Hampton, which was recently burned. We feel assured that we need only call the matter to the attention of the patriotic and generous people of Anderson in order to receive from them a willing and liberal response. Contri butions can be given to any one of us. S. M. ORR, ELLISON A. SMYTH, . J. M. SULLIVAN, GEO. E. PRINCE, M. li. BONHAM, Com. for Anderson County. The Hampton Testimonial Fund. Mrs. J. lt. Yandiver has received the following letter directed to the Robert E. Lee Chapter of the United Daugh ters of the Confederacy of this city : CHARLESTON, S. C., June 5th, 1899. Dear Madam : Circulars have been sent to each Chapter of the U. D. C. in South Carolina, calling on them to exert their influence to swell the Testi monial Fund for the rebuilding and furnishing of Gen. Hampton's home. Allow me to urge upon you that we do not lose this opportunity of showing that our organization is a power io. the State. Let each Chapter do what some have already done, empty their treasu ry and the members give personally I for the privilege of serving the man ; who, above all others, put out a strong arm to raise South Carolina from, the ashes of her ruined homes. I wish each Chapter to be informed that a handsome wreath of palmetto tied with a sash of white ribbon bear ing the badge of the South Carolina Division U. D. C. has been sent in the name of the Division to Winchester. Va., where, to-morrow, will be unveil ed the monument to the South Carolina soldiers who sleep in that beautiful valley. Yours sincerely. MRS. W. C. MCGOWAN, Pres. S. C. Div. ?. D. C. The Naval Academy. ANNAPOLIS, MD., June 10, 18'M>. Editors Intelligencer: The Naval Academy has its interesting char acters. The incoming fourth class will have Bagley, the brother of the first officer killed in the war, and Deignah, one of the Merrimac heroes. The jpresent roster of Cadets has? sev eral interesting people. These young Cadets, very often in the earliest days of their naval careers, give promise of their future abilities. A m gentleman of this city, high in official life, well remembers the char acteristics of Admiral Dewey when a. Cadet. Though from the frigid hills of Vermont, Cadet Midshipman Dewey had the temper of a Southern fire-eater. This gentleman who knew him well, says that on reflection, from Dewey's early indications of character, he is surprised, and not surprised ar. his great abilities. With the hero of Ma nilla it was an insult by the giver and a blow by Dewey. He took no offence at the general term "Yankee," as ap plied all the citizens of thc Republic; out he resented, at once, the appella tion if applied to him as a discrdetable title belonging to citizens of New Eng land. Of this plucky spirit is that "honor" man of the Naval Academy, Cadet William McEntee, of Minn., First Class. He did not take first rank at once. He stood eight in his first year, three in i second and firstat the late Juneexami-1 nation, He is a brave fellow and when J the harer attempted to run him when he was on the eve of stepping up to the third class, resisted to fisticuffs. He was pretty well battered but declined, though he had to go to the hospital on account of the fight, to tell any tales. He was found physically deficient at the late examination, and it nearly broke his proud spirit. Admiral Mc Nair let him go to Washington and the young Cadet succeeded in having his slight infirmity waived. Cadet McEn tee carries a very wonderfully shaped head that bulges backward out of all symmetry, but, perhaps, there is where he carries his splendid mathematical powers. Ensign Louis Clark Richardson, of South Carolina, is one of the six year Cadets, who recently passed here their last examination. He was the right half back of the rattling navy team of 1696, and wa s the most prominent char acter on it. He came suddenly into academic fame on the gridiron. No body except Cadet Williams seemed to know anything of his athletic powers, and he persuaded him to come out and practice, and singular to say Richard son took Williams' place. The latter took the exchange in a manly spirit. Richardson was a quick starter ana ran like mad when he had the ball. He never failed to make the point required of him. His bald head was bound to come through the opening made for him. He took the 100-dash in 1893. When he came back from sea, at the last examination, though coming from the engineer to the line, under the per sonelle bill, he took a good rate in his class, and stood No. 1 in the practical seamanship work of the class for two years. Ensign Richardson is the son of Col. M. B. Richardson, of South Caro lina, and one of the promising signs . that the young officer will keep up his good reputation in his career is the fact . that he is absolutely as unostentatious, . in his manner open, and as friendly to all his old acquaintances as when he entered the Navy Sept. 6, 1893. E. S. It. Corner Dots. We are at present beiug blessed with very fine rams, but they came not a whit too soon, as our crops were need ing rain very badly. The wheat crop is very poor iu com parison to What it was last year. Six to ten bushels to the acre seems to be about the average while the oat crop is off veiy near one-half. Both corn and cotton are looking well, and our farmers are giving their attention to the thorough cultivation of both. There was quite a romantic marriage in our community last Saturday even ing at the parsonage of Rev. lt. C. Ligon. The parties were colored, Samuel Jameson, aged 80 years, and Millie Pressley. near (IO. They both seem as happy' as though they were in their teens. Married, by J. A. McAlister, Magis trate, Sunday, June 11th. Mr. Thomas Hull and Miss Martie Doyle, both of Elbert County, Ga. Mr. Pam Sherard was .sporting in Abbeville Sunday. Dr. Ernest Watson visited his family and friends In Mt. Connel a few days ago. Mr. J. W. Ligon, who has been en gaged in teaching for the past few months, reached home la<t Friday evening Miss Sallie Sherard leaves Thursday (by way of Anderson) on a visit to friends m Gastonin. N. C. We predict for hera lovely trip. She expects to be gone near three weeks. Miss Lucy Dean, a charming young lady living near Dean, ts visiting friend? in Iva. DRACO. louver Dots. After thc heat and drought the Loni has given us refreshing showers, which has cooled the earti.. and all vegeta tion looks greatly revived. The farm ers generally had their crops in good fix for the rain when it came, and can now rejoice over the rapid growth corn and cotton is making while they are cutting wheat and oats. Some are through cutting and are having their threshing done. Wheat and oats, while not as good as last year, are better than we expected, after such a pro longed drought. Plenty of vegetables, aud fried chick en, and blackberry pie are now added to the farmers bill of fare. Miss Margie Major attended the ccm nencement at Withthrop College. As she is one of Winthrop's alumni and president of the Alumnae Society, she had a most enjoyable time. Her Sister, Miss Daisy, came home with her to spend her Summer vacation, to the delight of her many friends. Miss Hattie McWhorter has gone to Leesville, S. C., to spend awhile with friends, and attend the commencement of the College at that place, of which she was formerly a student. Mr. T. R. Simpson, Sr., was married last week to Miss Mattie Garrison, of Greenville County. Their many friends join in wishing him and his most esti mable bride many years of happiness. We saw them out riding this morning and they looked as happy as if it was life's morning with them instead of high noon. Mr. and Mrs. Doc. McConnell visited iu Denver last Sunday, and were greet ed with much pleasure by their friends. The Quarterly meeting at Sandy Springs last Saturday and Sunday was well attended. The congregation was much pleased with the new Presiding Elder, Rev. J. B. Wilson, and listened with attention to his very impressive sermons, which, we believe, will bring forth fruit in time to come. ,We still have sickness in our com munity. Our genial young friend, Willie Garrison, is still very sick with typho-malarial fever. We hope soon to be able to report improvement in his condition. Our invalid, Mrjirown, has improved sufficiently to ride out to Church, though he is yet far from well. On last Sunday afternoon death entered the household of our neighbor, Mr. J. W. Webb, and bore away the spirit of little Roy, one of his twin boys, aged fifteen months. The other twin is very sick at this writing. This bereaved family have the sympathy of our community. * INCOG. Oak Grove Dots. The farmers are busy harvesting wheat. There is a prospect of a good yield. Gardens and crops in our neighbor hood are suffering for rain. Rev. R. W. Burts preached two ex cellent sermons at his appointment at Big Creek Church on last Saturday and Sunday. Fortunate is the people that have such a pastor to go in and out be fore them. Mr. Archie Cox was among the num ber who attended the Confederate Re union in Charleston and reports having had a very pleasant time. Mr. Staunton's twins have been quite sick but are about well again Mr. McAlrath, we are sorry to say, continues quite ill. Mr. Beriy Davenport and family were visiting at Mr. J. C. Wilson's on last Sunday. Mr. Frank Spearman's nephews, the Messrs. Slaton. from Piedmont, visited him last Saturday and Sunday. Mr. Harper Spearman, of Anderson, wa.8 visiting relatives here on the Gth inst. Weare sorry that Mr. JoePooreis reported as not being so well as he has been. Rev. P. J. M. Osborne and family worshipped with the Cedar Shoals Church, in Greenville County, on the fourth Sunday in last month. A large con g re gat ion was present. Rev. Joseph A. Martin, of Princeton, preached an interesting sermon. Several persons from this neighbor hood attended the dedicatory services of the new Methodist Church inWil liamston on the third Sunday in last month and heard a fine sermon, preach ed by the Rev. Mr. Kilgore, of North Carolina. We are hoping to get a much needed rain very soon. Chickens are small and vegetables very scarce, but we expect to get a blackberry pie in a week or two. More anon.

We are glad to hp ve them home again, for it seems like old times for us all to be together. Miss Mary Bramlet has returned from her visit to her grandfather's, or rather spent her vacation with him, and has returned for the slimmer school. Mary is a sweet girl, and we are glad to hear her say she feels like she is back home and call herself a Lebanunite. Mr. John Smith is having very bad luck threshing. While putting on brakes in going down a steep hill the brakes broke, scaring the mules and making them run in a branch, when over went the engine and breaking parts of it, but such is life and, "some time, we shall know why/' S KM PHI: I I ?KM. Holland's Store. We are having line rains. On the 31st, of May we had a tremendous waterfall in this immediate vicinity. Terraces or nothing else stood in the way. Con siderable damage was done to the land, as well as the growing crops. The gentle showers that are falling to-day, we hope, will even things up. Wheat has been harvested and thc threshers are on their rounds getting it out. The yield will not be large, though the ?rain is good. The farmers are exceeding busy just, now. Thc grass is on its knees reach ing iii every direction, .uni unless every edgeis made to cul will in the end come ?int victor.

We hilve been travelling around some j lately and find that our farmers are j ?ahead in their crops, and have finer i cotton and corn, as a general thing, than the farmers of other sections. SCHOOL BOY. - That Michigan man who recently married at the age of 110 is a living example of the fact that one never gets too old to learn. - A check for $20,000 was presented to Bethiiny Presbyterian Church, Phil adelphia, by John Wanamaker at a recent congregational meeting. The munificent gift was a surprise to the congregation. It is understood the money will be expended in alterations ?and improvements about the church and Sunday-school buildings. - A law class of forty-eight women has just been graduated from New York University. It is now nine ye.ors since this course was introduced, yet the public is just beginning to under stand and appreciate its purpose. Its aim is not to make lawyers out of wo men, but to give them a practical knowledge of the Laws which concern them, especially in the direction of the management of property. - In Germany pupils of the public schools perform an exercise in draw ing with the right hand, and then are compelled to do it with the left until they have accomplished just as satis factory results, while in the industrial schools ambidexterity is also taught by requiring the use of the left hand in sawing wood andin similar occupations. It is claimed that not only does this render a person almost doubly efficient, but that the general health is much improved by it, as a more nearly per fect circulation is thus established. - The world has for some time been aware of the use of oil on troubled waters, but the idea of oil to prevent dust storms in streets is a novelty. An Iowa engineer claims to have demon strated that a liberal use of crude oil on muddy roads soon transforms them into models of cleanliness. The effect of sprinkling oil on the ground is to give it a hard, compact surface, upon which water cannot remain. The re sult is a complete absence of mud in wet weather and of dust in other times.
