Jeet Which We Clip From the
- New York Amerlcaa.
An long an the world shall continue
to exist, as long as It shall be Inhabi
ted by human beings, we shall con
tinue to hare criminals, Just as wo
hare albinos, or men with six fingers
—that is to say, we si tall still hare
born criminals, men In whom a cruel
tats has sown the seed of cruelty, and
whose way of reasoning Is different
from that of normal people, and who
are doomed from the day of their birth
to commit crimes. There Is no thera
py against this Inherited disease. The
only things one could do would be to
kill them or to place them In Institu
tions where they could not do wrong.
But besides these born criminals,
whose number Is only between 30 and
40 per cent, of all criminals, and who
oommlt crlmes because of inherited or
acquired tendencies which latter may
be developed by diseases such as typhus
or Inflammation of the brain, there are
other* far more numerous- habitual
criminals, or criminals who err because
they Are unable to withstand a sudden
temptation of an outburst of passion,
and these we can redeem and bring
back to the right road.
First of all, we oafi direct and guide
the abandoned children, the orphans,
the sick and mischievous children.
These are the ones who most often go
astray, who are driven to crime from
hunger and neglect. While they are
still young, while their evil tendencies
have not yet grown beyond contiol, It
Is possible to exterminate these evil
Instincts. For this reason there are
fewer youthful criminals In the cities
of London and Qeneva, where there
are numerous, institutions of correc
tion for children.
To-day all civilised countries have
begun to see the importance of taking
hold of the children and more Is being
done than any one bad dreamed of a
few years ago—the States have made
education compulsory, and humanitar
ians have founded institutes which
look after the welfare of children out
side of school hours—while the parents
are working In the factories—and en
deavor to keep them out of evil com
pany and away from the streets.
A wonderful Institution which de
serves to be copied everywhere Is that
conducted by Mr. Baraardo, In London,
who surely has saved many thousands
from misery and crime, for this the
greatest of all modern philanthropists
takes special care of the poorest of the
poor, the sons of drunkards, of con
victs and the abandoned and orphan
ed children.
The tendencies and Inclinations of
each child are carefully studied and
work is given It In accordance with its
ability. But Mr, Barnard* does even
more, and here is where his Institu
tions are superior to all others. Aa
the children who are under his care
nearly all com* from degenerate par
ents and more than others are apt to
give way to temptation, he tries to do
his utmost to keep them away from
evil Influencea. For this reason he has
employment clfioee everywhere and
sends his wards to Canada, to Cape
Colony and to Australia, to places In
the country, where quiet rural life
may make them useful and honorable
citizens,
Mr. Barnardo keeps an eye upon each
and every one of his wakta through
their whole life and never loses sight
of them, and statistics show that in
spite of the evil tendencies many of
them must have inherited only two-
tenths of one per cent of them have
gone astray—In only two oases of every
thousand has his wonderful system of
education failed. - —;
It is exceedingly important to teach
the children to detest alohol, for alco
hol Is at the bottom of more crimes
than any thing else—first because the
use of It develops all evil tendencies;
second, because many crimes are com
mitted while under the Influence of
liquor, and, third, beoauae the saloon
Is nearly always the meeting place pf
criminals, where they lay their plans
and gather to deride their spoils. -
If alcohol could be taken out of the
world the most brutal and cruel forms
of crime would oease, and the drink
evil Is per se as important a problem
as the problem of how to prevent
crime. But there are many other
things which must be done to prevent
crime. The social inequality, the
great difference between, the very rich
and the very poor, muyt. disappear,
and laws must be changed to effect
this.
* In Australia, which Is far ahead of
all other countries In regard, to social
conditions, crimes have decreased sur
prisingly. The eight-hour working
day, the arbitration of all labor ques
tlons and difficulties, the high wages
and the disappearance of the very poor
class have practically wiped out oer
tain kinds of crime, and whatever
crimes are committed are either com
mitted during an outburst of passion
or by born criminals.
Breach of Promise Halt.
Damages aggregating a quarter of
a million dollars as compensation for
alleged breach of promise of marriage
are asked by Mrs. Katherine Polllon
in a suit against W. Gould Brokaw,
the millionaire clubman, which was
begun In the supreme court in New
Terk Wednesday. Eminent oounselt,
■cores of witnesses, many of
people of prominence from distant
parte of the country, and a packet
containing more than 200, letters al
leged by the plaintiff to have been
written by Brokaw, will figure In the
ease. The authenticity of the letters,
upon which the suit Is largely baaed,
Is denied by Brokaw's counsel.
In Okr Great Wav.
The Army and Navy Journal says
from the archives of the Confederacy
on deposit In the war department the
military secretary, Major Gen. Ains
worth has brought to light some in
teresting data concerning the com
manders of the Confederate forces in
the field In the fateful days of 1861-65.
Deducting eleven names of officers
who did not qualify for cue reason or
another, we have In this list 415 gen
erals, and the records given show that
of these 74 were killed or mortally
wounded In action, or 18 per cent.
- This Is a very striking showing
when we recall the almost entire Im
munity of the Russian and Japansse
armies lighting In Manchuria from
fatal casualties to general officers. We
recall but one who has been reported
killed in battle In the far East, and If
there are others they must be very
few; whereas the percentage of casual
ties among the general officer* of the
Confederacy are far in excess of the
percentage of casualties among the
rank and file of the Russian and Japa
nese armks as given by Gene Bliss,
who has the best of facilities for
learning the facts. No less than Ji3
general officers of the Confederacy
were killed m battle during the 11
months of campaigning, and the 8
months of fighting commencing with
Grant’s battle of the Wilderness and
ending with Appomattox. Ten briga
dier generals of the Union army were
also killed during this campaign, be
sides 12 cortmels commanding bri
gades, 6 of them at Cold Harbor
alone. At Franklin 7 Confederate
generals were killed, and during Sher
man's campaign 6, the Union army
losing 3 At Gettysburg 5 Confeder
ate and 6 Union generals were killed,
10 In all, besides 3 Union colonels
oommanding brigades. At Fredericks-
burg 2, Union, and 2 Confederate gen
erals were killed. In all, the Union
army lost in killed or mortally wound
ed 60 general officers, 23 brevet briga
dier generals and 34 colonels oom
manding brigades.
Taking the proportion as one killed
to 4.62 wounded, this would iodioate
that" 467 Confederate generals were,
killed or wounded out of a total of
416. Probably, however, the general
officers were the selected victims of
the sharp shooters, who shot tbknTv
In one regiment of the civil war, sub
Jeoted to the ordinary casualties of
battle, the 1st Minnesota at Gettys
burg, 28 per cent of those engaged
were killed end 82 p rc a nt were killed
and wounded, in forty-two other
regiments the percentage of killed in
different battles was 18 or more. The
ratio of killed to wounded In 66 bat
tles of the oivil war was 1 to 4.8, vary
ing between 1 to 3 at? Williamsburg
and 1 to 6.7 at Arkansas Post. The
average among the regular troops was
1 to 4.62.

To the Editor of The Sunday News:
I read with much Interest the oom*
munlcatlon in the last number of The
Sunday News, signed by my old friend,
B. Frank Ford, who I hop# will par
don me for making a few minor cor
rections In regard to the shooting of
Miller. Instead of twenty or so hav
Ing been called out to draw, there
were oue hundred and fifty, ss told
me next day by one of the guard. He
also said the number agreed upon Was
thirty five, and Miller drew that num
her, but said it was his opinion that
the drawing was a sham, as it was
supposed that Miller was the one who
shot the man; though he, the guard,
did not think so, but thought it was
done by one of Wheeler’s men; for
they had all sworn never to take a
forager (better known as ^ bummer)
prisoner.
After being tbe one selected to be
shot Miller was taken across the dead
line with one of the prisoners, and
told the prisoner he did not mind it,
only he bad nine daughters dependent
on him for support and regretted to
leave them thus. A young Texan, I
have forgotten bis name, offered to
take Miller’s place when be heard
this, but Gen. Blair refused it, saying
It was not legal.
Miller was shot shout twelve miles
from Coeraw, in Chesterfield district,
as then called, and, as well as I re
member, burled on the side of the
road leading from Oberaw to Camden.
The grave was pointed out to me the
□ext morning ss we passed.
At Fayetteville, N. G., we were
formed in line again, for the purpose
of drawing for our lives. Ten were to
be shot, but Just as the officer stepped
to the first man for him to draw a
courier came post-haste on horseback
and banded him a paper. After read
ing It we were marched back In the
"Bull Pen” without drawing. At first
opportunity 1 asked one of the guard
what was up, when he told me that
Hampton had put Sherman on notice
that two commissioned officers or
eleven privates would be shot for every
one of our men shot by Sherman’s or
ders, In retalatlon for "bummers”
killed; so this out a stop to the whole
thing, and relieved us of the dread
that was hanging over us continually;
for Wheeler’s men continued shoot
ing "bummers” regardless of Sher
man's orders. 1 -
I could write you more of* the
atrocities perpetrated on those that
were so unfortunate to be prisoners
with Blair’s corps, the 17th, bat I
fear I have already taken op fcpo much
of your valuable space.

It has been and Is the custom In
the United States to damn Russia for
every thing without rhyme or reason
at times; and to magnify many times
every happening there that tends to
injure Russia, be tbe happening small
or large.

executor of Stacy’s estate, brought
suit for tbe payment of the accident
policy for 15,000, Whloh the company
had refused, alleging that Staoy had
met his death by violent and unlaw
ful means. The Jury was iostruoted
specifically upon the laws of accident
and a * verdict was rendered In favor
Of the estate. It was to set aside
this verdict that the preeent action,
was Introduced which Judge Brawley
has refused, dismissing the motion
for a new trial.
In his opinion, Judge Brawley ea

elusion that thA death of Stacy was
an accldant. Tbe question Is an In
teresting one to the accident insur

Stacy struck in resenting an insult

Qad Reports Are Made.
The following report as to the con
dition of the crops has been Issued by
Seotiou Director Bauer:
The first the week ending Mon
day, May 22, was warm, tbe laUer
part very cool, especially tbe nights.
Thera were local high winds accom
panying thunderstorms on the 16.h
that did some damage to fruit trees.
The latter part of the week was-fair
with sunshine In excess of the normal
amount.
There, were general rains on the
16tb, heavy In places, and occasional
showers In tbe eastern counties on toe
17th, after which the ground dried
rapidly. Cultivation of field crops
made rapid progress during the lat
ter part of tbe week. There la still
widespread complaint of grassy fields,
and a probability that some land
planted In ootton will have to be
abandoned owing to the scarcity of
farm laborers. Labor Is scarce in all
parts of the state.
Cotton planting has been finished,
and m >re than two-thirds has been
chopped, with chopping still in pro
gress. Cultivation has been begun
Stands of cotton are generally good,
though there are numerous reports of
plants dying on gray lands Ih tbe
western counties and on sandy lands
in the eastern ones owing to too much
rain and the recent cool nights. In
some of the southeastern counties,
some fielda have been plowed up and
replanted. Excessive rains and lack
of cultivation caused the plants to
turn red or yellow In many places, and
the recent cool nights have checked
its heretofore rapid growth. The
first squares were noted on the 19th
in Ooiietqp county. The general
condition of the cotton crop Is poor,
though promising in a few loosltttes.
Oom is suffering from want of cul
tivation and 4 is turning yellow, but
where cultivation has been practlc
abls it Is in good condition. Stands
are generally g<x d except on bottom
lands where worms continue destruc
tive. There is yet much oom to be
planted on bottom lands, in the west
ern half of the state.
Tobacco is doing well. Rloe plant
ing Is delayed In the Georgetown dis
trict by high tides. The week was fa
vorable for truck and shipments of
potatoes sod beans were heivy. The
strawberry season Is over. Wheat is
promising where not rusted or dam
aged by the Hessian fly. Fall oats are
fine, and spring oats have Improved
rapidly.' Oats are ripening in the
eastern counties and some have been
cut. Pastures are flue. Peaches are
plentiful in tbe eastern counties, but
art very scarce in the western ones
The first shipment of peaches was
made this week. Apples are scarce
and the trees continue to blight Mel
ons, gardens and other minor erops
continue to do well.

wires have called to ourattention
I am cot setting myself up as an
apologist for the governmeut of Rus
sia, nor as s defender of Its people;
neither do 1 Intend to censure either.
My aim Is to simply point a moral by
a little compirIson between that coun
try and the United States.
Every strike and every row in Rus
sia is at onoe heralded to tbe outside
world as a rising of the people for the
purpose of. overthrowing its govern
ment. The cruelty of the govern
ment is no doubt greatly magnified In
a like manner. The ruler of Russia Is
pictured as standing in hourly fear of
assassination; and every time an
tlfflcial Is assassinated, It Is pat down
ss an attempt to overthrow tbe gov
ernment. It has about reached that
point where thinking people put little
faith In those accounts.
In order to become fair judges we
must see ourselves as we are. Then
we will be tn a position to judge Rus
sia.
It must be remembered that there
are bad men in every country—men
who are not happy unless they are
creating strife, anarchists, commun
ists, socialists and other brands. We
have a very large number of that kind
of people with us, and Russia seems
to have heir full share. There is no
doubt about that. We must recollect
that, we have lost more presidents than
Russia has lost rulers by assassination.
We have continual strikes and rloU
with bloodshed just as Russia has, but
the methods of the strikers or rioters
are somewhat different.
President Lincoln was assassinated;
and so were Presidents Garfield and
McKinley; and the person of Presi
dent Rooesvelt has to be watched and
guarded by trained secret service men
all the time to protect him against the
very class that in Russia seeks tbe life
of Nicholas. Does all of that mean
that the people of Russia as well as
those of the United States are ojp
pressed by the head of those govern
ments? Are we to understand that
bloody strikes and the assassination of
our presidents are conspiracies against
our government any more than the
same happenings iu^Russia should
be so styled? We must apply the
same rule In both countries. .
We have in the United States al
most continual strikes and labor trou
bles; so bas Russia. Tbe amount to
riots here as well as In Russia, why
not give them the same classification
in both countries? They are too well
known here to require a list of them
with the particulars in each case.
But I will call attention to the-strikes
when Pre8ident..Cleveland bad to send
United States troops to quell them,
and one that is now in progress in
tbe city of Chicago, the teamsters'
strike. Among other things tbe pa
pers convey tbe Information that the
citizens of Chicago asked for state
wagons had to go armedd with armed
policemen accompanying them. On
May 4th more than half a hundred
were hurt in all day rioting; on May
6th It was said that the troops would
be ordered out as the number of strlk
ere was inoreasing and the public
peace threatened; on tbe same day
murderous assaults were made oa the
negroes who had been brought Into
tbe city to take the places of the
Striking teamsters; on May 10th,
while President Rpo^velt waa _ in tbe
crtyvIrhe-ROttng continued almost in
his very ptoience; and on May 15th
In thesaaMboat with her.
As stated we must give like events la
both countries the same Interpreta
tion, and then draw oar oonelaskm.
Freni tong standing prsjndlnfi, j—ljml

government, bat fall to see the beam
in theeye of oar own government and
people.
I writ* tins not for the purpose, as
stated, of defending Rosela, bat for
tb* parpooe of calling attention to
homvnatters. It Is often tbe best way
in wliioh to force a truth home. I de
sire to tarn the light on matters of a
serious nature at home. We bate
enough here to keep us busy without
crossing the Atlantic to dictate to
other people, and to Interfere with
their home affaire.

To Answer the Questions ot Ajtents
> ns to Aeermne.
A dispatch from Washington to
the Atlanta Constitution says advices
received Indicate that In some parts of
the last congress passed a law compel
ling ootton planters to report, on de
mand from agents of the census bu
reau, their acreage, condition, number
of bales ginned, eto. This is not tbe
case. The only legislation affecting
ootton statistici enacted by the fifty
eighth congress was the following joint
resolution Introduced by Representa
tive Burleson, of Texas, and finally
passed as a part of the bill providing
for the collection of marriage and dl
vorce statistics: T
"Be it resolved, etc., That tbe dl
rector of the census be, and he is here
by authorized and directed to collect
and publlsfi on the same dates and at
tbe same time he makes publication of
the glonere’ reports of ootton produo
tion, statistics of the consumption of
ootton, tbe surplus of cotton held by
the manufacturers and the amount of
ootton exported, tbe statistics to be
summarized as of September 1 of each
year, so as to show the ootton produc
tion and consumption of the preceding
year.” It Is obviously to the interest
of the farmers to know something de
finite ss to the amount of ootton con
sumed, exported and on hand, and the
statistics which will bqjgubBsbed as s
result of the passage of Mr. Burleson's
resolution will bring out the facts. It
seems Impossible to convince the plant
ere of tbe South that it la equally to
their interests to have accurate state
ments ss to acreage,. condition and
production issued by the government,
despite the weight of the evidenoe In
that direction. Tbe census bureau
had a considerable amount of -trouble
last season with glnnere who refused
to make reports for use in the six gin
ning bulletins Issued during tbe fall,
winter and spring, and yet the facts
tend to show that conditions would
hav* been msterialy improved had
this information been freely given by
all glnnere. It is argusd that such in
formation gives tbe speculator a club
wherewith to hammer down prices,
but, if this be the oaso, it should be
obvious that in the event of a abort
crop the farmers would be given a lever
wherewith to push the prices up. In
the opinion of experts here It Is diffi
cult to see bow any legitimate Interest
can be harmed by having the exact
facts made public.

Shaw quickly barricaded himself
in bis house. The posse tried tr

small shot, which saved the lives of
those he shot at. Sbsw was shot at

WRECK Of OGDXN SPECIAL.
Expert Medical Advice-free.
Blamed on the Grew lor Not Having
Train Under Control.
Before the Railroad Commission at
Colombia on Tuesday of last week the
officials and employes of the Southern
railway testified as .^licum-
stances surroundlr g the wreck of the
special bearing the party of Mr Rjbt.
C. Ogdetfkrtjfeenvllle, April 29. It
will be remembered that tbe train,
running at the rate of 40 miles an
hour, crashed into some empty freight
care standlnpoii tbe main line within
tbe yard limits. ‘
From the bulk of the evidence It
appears that tbe railroad people are
willing to admit that tbe crew in
charge of the special train Is at fault.
The Issue devolves upon ths question
whether or not this was a train of the
first olsas. Tbe crew in charge claim
that it was, ss it was 1 being operated
on an order which contained a de
tailed schedule between Spartanburg
and Greenville, which is according to
their way of looking at it. an amend
meat to the regular schedule. Engi
neer J. R. Hunter, who wss crippled
in the wieck and Conductor Acker
took the stand.
The rule governing the conduct of
yards In cities states: "Switching aid
other trains and engines may work
within limits without regard to second
class and Inferior trains which latter
most approach and run through yard
limits under full control, expecting to
find main track blocked. In case of
soddent, responsibility rests with ap
proaebiog train.”
While it was In evidenoe that there
was carelessness regarding the hand
ling of messages In regard to tbe
special at Greenville, still It was testi
fied by the Officials that this would
not effect the result and that Engl
near Hunter should have come Into
tb* yard limits with his train under
such control that he could stop within
half the distance he oould see. Divi
sion Superintendent Williams, Baker
and McManus and General Manager
H. B. Spencer of the Southern and
Engineer Llneberger of Charlotte,
testified that there was but one way of
Construing tbe orders received by En
gineer Hunter and that was his
was not a first class train and that be
should have had bis train under per
fect control when he approached the
Greenville station. Tbe Southern
showed by Its correspondence that
every effort was made to handle with
success the movement of this impor
tant train. Engineer Hunter was
familiar with the road and was se
lected to take tbe train from Colum
bia to Greenville for thalxeason. m

At Connolsville, Penn., in tbe office
of DLtrict Attorney Tnom&s H. Hud
son is a woman’s shoe, the hollowed
heel of which It is said, contain*
enodgh dynamite and nltro glycerine
to kill a number of persons Tuesday
night .Mrs. Engle of Uuiontown,
Penn , found a pair of ladies’ shoes in
her back yard. While examining
them she discovered that tbe heel of
one of them wss hoBowed out and
four exploded cap* pDc.-d on fpur iron
pegs set In the heel and tbe hole filled
with waste soaked with nltro-glyoer-
Ine. The shoes were turned over to
the authorities who are making'a
rigid Investigation.
They Most Go.
The North Carolina supreme court
has affirmed the decision of the lower
court sustaining the act passed by tbe
last legislature prohibiting "bucket
shops” and the praotloe joif .dealing In
futures. The law makes it a misde
meanor to open a place where quota
tions on futures are furnished .or to
buy or sell options for future delivery
when the actual delivery of the goods
Is not contemplated. Tbe effect of
the decision is to close up all branches
of ootton exchange bouses In that
state doing a future business.
He PooledThem.
A report comes from Charleston
that many people on James Island
have been taken in by a seller of soap,
which they paid for and never re
ceived. The inducements of attract
ive presents, to be secured with large
puiohases, brought In many orders
and the agent reaped a harvest.at the
rate of 88 per box. The seller has de
parted for parts unknown and It may
be well for other comm uni ties to be
on their guard If the soap seller and
prize distributor should put In his ap
pearance In their neighborhood. rr ~~
