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.

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.”

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. Wilson aud James Ham
ilton were found last night in the woods
near the Chattahoochee river in Cobb
county, 1 mile beyond Bolton. The dis
covery was made by two negro boys
aud was not reported until this i^ruing.
Mrs. Wilson was shot through me tem

the temple, the oircurastaiAs pointing
clear'/ to murder aud suicide. From
the position iu which the bodies were
found Hamilton first shot Mrs. Wilson,
aud standing over her fired another bul
let into his own brain. The pistol was
found on the ground beside their bodies.
Two Can Play at Game.
London. 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

Crescent Oitt, Fla., Feb. 18.—The
mnnity received a great shock this
m ornlnjrTW^wi»y^£k®^ W. L. McLeod,
the well known dentist,

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

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.

(Correanondencb of The Ledger.)
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

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. Cavalry, was mortally
wounded near Cold Harbor, Va., May

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

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.
