TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1901. =5= RETALIATION RUSSIANS HE OPPOSES THE MEASURE Bill Introduced to Promote t wo Hear Admiral* to Grade of Vice Admiral, Professedly in Interests of Sampson and Schley. Wasiunotov, Feb. 18.—In pirsoanoe of previous notice, Mr. Pettus of Ala bama jiddressed the senate today, oppos ing the ship subsidy bill. Referring to former Senator Ed munds, reputed to be the iuthor of th« original subsidy bill, Mr. Pettus said that the distinguished Vermonter had demonstrated “his ability to cipher around the truth.” He thought the provisons of the measure justified him in saying that Mr. Edmunds, as a sena tor of the United States, could uever have written this bill. Mr. Pettus argued that the bill ought not to be passed, not only because of the millions it would draw from the treasury, but also because of the prinoi- ples involved. Hu, made a constitu tional argument against the measure. Senator Hale, chairman of the senate committee on naval affairs, introduced a bin tor cho revival of the grade of vice admiral in the navy and authorizing the president to appoint two rear ad mirals to that office. The bill is in the interest of Admirals Sampson and Schley and is intended to aid m solving khe problem of th nr promotion as well js The promotion ot other officers who served with them iu the Spanish war. ■ Apprintlons Kor Kxposltlons.

How the Bear Is Getting Even With the American Kagle. &ew York, -Feb. 18.—Regarding the effects of the American discriminating tariff against sugar imported from Rus sia and the Russian retaliatory excess duty of 30 per cent on American iron manufactures, Charles Strong Guthrie, president of the American Steel Hoop company, a corporation with a capital of #33,000,000, said: “The tariff Russia imposes upon steel and iron imports is already the highest in the world. It is about three times as high even as that of the United States. The Russian tariffs on nearly all goods are in fact the highest of #11 nations. Now, if this additional duty is imposed upon our products, it does not seem pos sible that oar trade in steel aud iron with the Russians can continue. “Russia has in the last few years been making desperate efforts to develop the irou and steel industry of her own coun try. Some new ore beds have recently been discovered there, and the Russian government is fostering their develop ment iu every possible way. I believe that a bounty of something like #5 a ton is awarded in Russia to the iron pro ducer. Some American engineers have been employed within the last few years to erect blast furnaces. But the ore is of an inferior quality, and cannot sup ply the needs of the country. “Russia, in imposing this extra tariff, however, is striking at the point where she is evidently most sensitive. The discrimination will operate very much to the avantage of Germany, Great Britain and Belgium. These are our main competitors in the steel and iron business, and we have been striving with them to get control of the Russian trade. We cannot compete, however, on the basis of an extra tariff of 30 per cent. Our trade with Russia has been steadily growing iu recent years, as the policy of the government was appa rently very friendly toward onr pro ducts, and it will be unfortunate if this trade will now be cut off.” BEAUTIFUL WIDOW) YOUNG STUDENT Dead Bodies Found In Woods Hear Atlanta. CASE OF UNREQUITED LOVE Mysterious Disappearance of Mrs. M. H. Wilson and James Hamilton Turns Out to Have Been a Case of Murder and Suicide. Atlanta, Feb. 18.—The dead bodies of Mrs. H. M.

Feb. 18.—There is consider able interest here in the differences of the tariff controversy between the United States and Russia. The advo cates of a change in the British fiscal system hope to find iu them some sap- port of their contentions that retaliatory duties ought to be imposed on countries taxing British products The St. James Gazette says: “Some Americans, including Secretary Gage, appear to think the United States has the monopoly of the protection policy, but they have been sharply reminded by Russia that two can play at the game of hostile tariffs. As the import of Russion sugar is a trifle compared with the exports to Russia, the present game of retaliation is one in which Russia Holds the best cards. Therefore, she will win most of the tricks.” WIFE MURDER AND SUICIDE. A Florida Man Kills His Wife and Then Himself. Crescent Oitt, Fla., Feb. 18.—The mnnity received a great shock this m ornlnjrTW^wi»y^£k®^ W. L. McLeod, the well known dentist, killed his wife and then killed himsel Dr. McLeod had been drinking more or less of late. Saturday night, Feb. 0, Mrs. McLeod was last seen by a neighbor andarrangements were made for some church work. Nothing was seen or beard from them after that, but from inquiries made it was supposed they had been called away, as Mrs. McLeod had a sister who was qnite ill. No news being heard from them, later friends be came alarmed, and Saturday Justice Torrey and Mayor Russell, with the deputy sheriff, went to their house and found them both dead. It was developed at the oorouer’s in- ? [oest that they had evidently retired or the night, as both were in their night clothes. From appearances, the doctor first shot his wife in bed, as there is a horned place on the sheet and mtfttress. The first shot was in the breast, the revolver placed so close that the flesh was burned by the powder. Apparently she sprang freortbe bed and crossed the room, falling then ui knees, where he followed and again, this time in the head,, entering the left side, Then, placing the pistol to Ills -own i head, he shot himself He fell close to ■J! tier, and the pistol wa# still in hia crasp when found. JAMES HAMILTON. The woods had been set on fire since they were killed, and Mrs. Wilson’s left leg was burned off at the knee aud Hamilton’s clothing burned to shreds, the ir bodies presenting a ghastly appear ance, but it was easy to positively identify them. Tho couple disappeared a week ago. Monday morning, after breakfast, Mrs. Wilson left the house, saying she would be out fc a few moments. Later ahe was seen by Mrs. Guthrie, who re sides in the same house, in company with Will Hamilton, at the corner of Courtlaud and Edgewood avenues. When Mrs. Wilson left tho house it was evidently with no intention of leav ing but for a few minutes. She had dressed hastily for breakfast and wore a loose dressing sacqne, light slippers, and as she left the hall threw a cape aroand her shoulders. She left word that she would return in a short time and went to tho resi dence of a relative, Mrs. Kruger, who lives at 91 Piedmont ^veuue. Young Hamilton /lad been boarding with Mrs. Krjj/{fy is believed followed Mrs. Wilson iruii?.be^ house when she started to return home~" Detectives were employed and they discovered that after leaving the corner where they were last seen by Mrs. Guthrie, the couple went to the restaurant of the Maine hotel, on Walton street, aud there Mrs. Wilson ate breakfast Hamilton did not eat, bat sat at the table with Mrs. Wilson- After the meal both man and woman boarded a river line car.

Etta Jane, Feb. 16.—Recent ly through mere curiosity we submitted the photograph of each of the forty- one young ladies—sponsors and maids of honor—who attended the reunion of United Confederate Veterans at Charleston in May, 1899, to a com pany of young folks, who, by a plu rality of their votes pronounced Miss Louise McFadden, of Chester, spon sor for Walker-Gaston Camp l\ C. Veterans, as the prettiest young lady iu the group. All the States com prising the late Confederacy, includ ing Kentucky, West Virginia and the District of Columbia, were represent ed, and we consider the decision of the juveniles as a compliment to the town and county of Chester, as well as its fair daughter herself. Who will take this honor at the May convention of veterans in the city of Columbia remains yet to h* seen. We hope thar Cherokee coun ty will contend for it. and be sue cessful. The fortieth aiiniver-ary of Mr and Mrs. 8 F Estes’ wedding dav was celebrated at ineir home on last Wednesday, 13 h lost. The occasion was a decidedly happy affair as wed as an appropriate tribute to the ven erable couple and the occasion it was designed to commemorate. Relatives and friends began to assemble early in the day. and by 12 o’clock the house was crowded with guests. The ’able was covered with viands the choicest and most palatable known to the culinary art isan. On the table were some of the ornamentations, dishes, glass and chinaware, together wuh a caudle stand used ou the primitive occasion. Just before re pairing to the dining-room the com pany assembled and after reading a chapter in the Bible, they stood aud sang;* “Braise God from whom all blessings,” etc., then knelt in prayer. Afterward the married p?’plc present formed a procession and led by tneir host and hostess marched to the table where ample justice was done the occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Estes were married at the home of the latter—udaugLk'r of Mr. Burrell T. Bishop—near Ms- ville in Chester county on Wedi^RUy, February 13lh, 18ol, by J&V. Wil liam Banks, of the J^sbyterian rsous were who witnessed the marriage ceremony and only four who were at tho infare. It’s a peculiar, to say nothing of a solemn coincident, that both of the bride’s maids,Misses Lizzie Estes and Saliie Hood, have died with cancer, and both the groomsmen were killed. Joe Smith, a brother of Dr. M. W. Smith and a paember of the 7th S. C.

We are having a great deal of sick ness—la grippe and pneumonia—in this section; and have had several deaths. Miss Mattie Bearden dieo of pneumonia the 3rd inst., amLwas buried at Holly Springs the 5th inst. The funeral was preached by the Rev. J L. Outz of Inman. Miss Bearden was about thirty-five years old. and was a consistent member of the Holh Springs Baptist church. She leaves an aged father and muAer, four brothers and three e>is*ei^^o mourn her death. . * Henry Babfc-and his two sons, Isam and La^Vence, shot and killed his brother, Lee Babb, last Saturday about twelve o’clock. The parties all lived just ov<IV the line in Green ville county near Nettiy postoffice. Mr. Babb was buried at Mt. Lebanon cemetery Sunday morning. He leaves a wife and seven small children to mourn bis untimely death. They shot thirteen bullets and seventy odd shot into his body. The main facts of the tragedy are about as follows: Lee and Henry’s folks had been at outs for sometime Saturday morning Lee and “Little” John Suddetb, who works with Lee, and who was the only eye witness to the tragedy, went down to his moth- erl^rfosJAges on Henry’s land, or at Iqst Henry ciaftifr^he land, to cut Jid haul her some fire^ipd. They when Henry and his boys came out" to where they were, the boys conceal ing tbemseles behind some trees. Henry went up to where Lee was, gun in hand, and accosted him thus: “Lee. I forbid you cutting another stick, now —d d—n you, get out from here M'T At that time one of the boys, who was concealed from Lee’s view, fired on him, from which the whole trio began firing. Lee returned the fire, but to no effect, as the first shot that they fired was sufficient to have killed him without their having wasted any more of their amunition. Henry and Lawrence were arrested Sunday morning and lodged in jail at Greenville, Isam having gone on the night before to give himself up. OCTAVU8. violates all law.
