Washington, April 2'.).—The train that is to carry the president and Mrs. McKinley and their party on their long excursion across tne continent and back fnade its start today, precisely on schtd nle time, over the Southern road. Be fore 10 o’clock many people had congre gated about the station, and when the president and Mrs. McKinley arrived, tts they did, about 10:20, the building nvus thronged with many persons who were congregated oa the outside. There was a cheer as tlie president’s immediate party drove up to the station and a general demonstration of affec tionate regard as the head of the nation ami his wile made their way through the crowd to the train. Mrs. McKinley leaned upon the arm of Dr. Rixey, and both she and the president smiled in re sponse to the greetings which met them at every step. They were accompanied to the train by numerous friends and by many dis tinguished persons. The party included Secretary Gage, Secretary Hoot, Sena tor Hanna, Justice Keuna, General Miles, General Corbin, General Sterb- berg, Secretary White, Pension Com missioner Evans, Comptroller Dawes, General Bates, Assistant Postmaster General Shellenbarger, Congressman Livingston, and many ladies of the cabi net An Atisp c.otn Departure.

The president took his position on tho rear platform of the Olympia, beside Secre tary Hitchcock, hat in bhiid, a brilliant carnation in his buttonhole and a smile upon his lace. . ^ Just as the minute hand of the big clock in the station touched the 10:20 point the train started out on its 10,000- mile journey. The crowd cheered en thusiastically and waved a goodby. The demonstration was continued until the t*aiu left the environs of Washington, the crowd extending well to the city limits. CLAY STILL DEFIES THE LAW Aged Kentucky 3Ian Detains Guards Wltliiii Ills Home. Lexington, Ky., Airil 29 —General Cassius M. Clay, sage of Whitehall, still defies the law and his children. The second step by Mrs. Mary B. Clay to get possession of her property,which caused the trouble between General Clay and two deputy sheriffs several weeks ago, was taken Saturday,when Mrs. Clay at tached a sum of money in the state bank of this city belonging to the gen eral. The attachment is for f1,500 for the detention of that much household goods by General Clay. A summons, which is a part of the at tachment and which must necessarily be served upon the general, was placed iu the hands of a constable and two deputies. The three officers went to Whitehall, and after shoving the summons under the general’s door, asked one of the guards to open the door so they could tell him that the paper was there, but the guard refused to do this, being afraid to incur the general’s displeasure. Clay will doubtless respond to the suit of his daughter, and a legal battle be tween the lather and daughter will result. DEATH DUE TO^ ACCIDENT Verdict of Ccron^r’s Jury la tase-of Hilly Smith. London, April 29 —The coroner’s jury which has been investigating the death of Billy Smith the pugilist, who was fa tally injured April 22 at the National Sporting e.lub iu a bout with Jack Hub erts, today rendered a vardict of acci dental death. The coroner critically examined the club members and disit lerested specta tors of the contest. The hospital sur- geou who attended Smith said that the appearance of the pupils of the latter’s eyes disproved the story that he had been drugged. All the testimony elicit ed tended to establish the fact that the pugilist was not drugged. Out of the 250 bouts which have taken place at the National Sporting club this year this is the first in which any of the contestants has sustained serious injury. The Hoyt Will Caw.

Randall Dunlop, a negro, had two TO BUILD TWO BRIDGES. of his mules killed Wednesday near Union by the 10:10 trsin. He was crossing in a cut and did not hear the train. One of the mule’s was knocked about fifty feet and killed, and the other died while on the way home. John W. Payne, who was found guilty of appropriating government funds while postmaster at Cross Hill, Laurens county, when tried in the United States court at Greenville this week, was sentenced by Judge Brawley to pay a fine of $000 and serve for two years in jail. Upon being given choice of prisons he ; ohose Newberry. He was taken down from Greenville and entered upon his servitude Wednesday night. Wednesday afternoon a destructive fire occurred at Gaiiland’s X Roads, | Eumter county. The stores of H. W. Bennett and Louis Williamson and the residence of Mrs. A. M. Lanneau were totally destroyed. The fire originated in Williamson’s store and as he was absent at the time his stock of goods was destroyed. His loss will be total as he had no insur- i ance. The stock of goods in Ben- nett’s store was partially insured. His loss will amount to Mrs. Tucker, wife of Prof. Beverly Tucker, of Virginia Military insti tute, has been on a visit to her sister, Mrs. Benj. Huger, for some weeks at Dillon. The two ladies had not long returned to the house from a shop- : ping tour Thursday. Mrs. Tucker was seated before the fire reading and in some way her clothing caught fire and iu spite of every effort on the part of Mr. and Mrs. Huger and' neighbors who were attracted by tho alarm, the unfortunate lady sustain- ' ed injuries so serious that ieath re sulted in about thirty hours. Her husband and father were telegraphed I for at once. The reunion of the Confederate | veterans of the State in Columbia next week promises to he the greatest ' ever held in South Carolina. The reports received from the camps in various portions of the State thus far : indicate a big attendance of veterans. , There is scarcely a camp that has sent in less than fifteen names of its members who will he there, and many of them have sent over twenty. I And these reports take no account of ladies and others who are going. The committees in charge are doing all in their power to make the stay of the veterans pleasant. Mr. W. W. Stickney, of Newhury- port, Mass., died Sunday morning at 1 o’clock in his room at Wright’s hotel in Columbia. Mr. Stickney had been spending some weeks in Savannah, hut, feeling somewhat in disposed, went to Columbia^ two weeks atm, and since that time has been enjoying splendid health. Sat urday night, not feeling well, be bad his servant to give him a sponge bath. Just afterward be complained of feeling tired, and sat down in a chair. In a few moments the ser vant approached him and found that he has dead. Deceased was in his year. The secretary of war, on last Wed nesday, announced the names of 588 men who have been selected for appointment as first and second lieu tenants in the regular army. Of these eight are from South Carolina, as follows: Thaddeus B. Seigle, Lawrence S. Carson, Clarence S. Nettles, Joseph L. Hardin, Edmond R. Tompkins, William P.,Crawford. Nettles is from Darlington, Carson from Sumter, Hardin and Crawford from Chester, Tompkins from Rock Hill, and Seigle can probably be more properly credited to Charlotte, N. C. All of these officers have served in the Spanish war or are now serving in the Philippines. There are still two places to be filled by South Carolinians. Mr. T. J. Hughes, a grocery mer chant at Locxhart Junction, was as saulted and robbed Wednesday night. Mr. Hughes is a widower and lives alone in his store, and Wednesday night about 8 or 9 o’clock, after be bad closed his front door, some one knocked at the door and Mr. Hughes opened it and turned around to go be hind bis counter, topposing it was a customer that wanted to trade and just then he received a blow on the back of the bead Irom some kind of a dab which felled him to the floor and he renembers nothing more till late In the night when he came to himself and was very cold and just able to crawl to his bed, which Is in a back room to the store, and he laid in bed with his front door open till morning when he was founnd by some of his friends in a very serious condition. There was considerable blood over the floor where Mr Hughes crawled about before he came to himself. He bad $12 00 and a pistol in the store which is missing. Mr. Hughes was not able to tell this morning whether any goods had been taken. Dr. W. J. Douglass was call ed to see Mr. Hughes and Hheriff’s Long’s bloodhounds were at Jones- ville and they were carried to Mr. Hughea’ store and an effort made to put them on the trail of the robbers, but it hsd been too long for them to strifes tbs trail and ao tbs matter •tiodi without aqy 9l$v so far A Move Ih on Foot to liuild Two ItricIgeH Over Itroiui Itiver With Money Appro printed for Oue-l’entonul itnd l.oeul New*. ICorrespondence of The ledger.) Etta Jane. April 20—Those in terested in Saiem graveyard are greatly indebted to Messrs. John Edwards and ‘'Doff” Smith for filling up tho graves which the continuous wet weather caused to sink so badly. Mr. .8. W. Foster went to Wood ruff last Tue day to see his sick aunt, Mrs. Peiina Wilkinson. Mr. Will Buice, the miller at Thomson mills hrs had a great deal of trouble to keep his water power open during the high creeks. Trash, cornstalks and other debris were into the fore-bay and choked it when the water is up Jimmie strain is building a kitchen The warm sun came out last Wed nesday and cheered the fanners who have become somewhat depondent from the almost continuous heavy rains. It now looks as if they will have an opportunity to resume opera tions soon. The Garner family have had a beautiful monument erected at the family burying ground at the old home place near Skull Shoals. The base is made of Cherokee granite found near Mr Mike Sellers, of Star Farm, and the main shaft is of Spar tanburg granite found near Trough Shoals. Altogether it is a beautiful and apparently a lusting token of filial affection. So far as we have been able to learn not a bridge in Cherokee county lias been jostled by the recent high water, except the one on Buffalo creek that was caused by the unprecedented rainfall. This speaks well for our county administration, in placing them at such a safe height and mak ing them strong enough ‘‘to stand the storm.” Our neighbor counties, both York and Union, have had great, de struction and wiii be put to consider able expense to have them replaced. From your Blacksburg correspond ent, ‘‘Taxpayer,” wo ham that a move is on foot to use the ten-thous and dollars appropriated to build a bridge across Broad river, in building two hiidges. For one we can say that if two first-class bridges can be built at the most convenient points for the majority of the citizens let them be built This is about all the average tax-payer gets oUt of his tax money any way. If those who bear .the burden and that of the day can get the legitimate advantages to which their hard earned money enti tles them, there will be less com plaint. We are satisfied that the sup r.'isor at d his board of (Oin’y commissioners will do what they think best and in doing so will do no more for those over the river people than they deserve. That is an im portant part of Cherokee county. Mr. lorn Millwood has his garden surrounded by a stone wall. Miss Mary Huggins is teaching at the Wilkinsville academy. T. M. Littlejohn, E*q , is having some ditches repaired that the high waters injured on the Thickety low lands. It is the purpose of this correspond ent to attend the U. C.

As soon as the weather settles sufficient ly to resume farm work the streets of your town will have a deserted ap pearance, so far as the farmers are concerned. . Some peofle are constitutional pessimists. The most contemptible class are those who want every dirty little feud and neighborhood scoun drel published iu the newspaper. Your correspondent knows he is not popular with them because he ignores all such stuff as a decent public would be com'pelled to hold its nose while reading. There is evil enough in any mao to keep itself company. All it wants is a coming out place. When we can find noth ing good or kind to say even of our enemies we will let them and their names severely alone. It has never been the policy of The Ledger to use dirty stuff to popularize itself or get the advantage of its contemotness. And it never will. The second quarterly conference for Kelton circuit will convene at Mesopotamia church on Saturday and Babbatb, May 4th and 5tb, Rev. W. P. Meadors, presiding elder will preach boths day at 11 a. m The public are Invited to attend. If some people had all the bigotry, pride and sei. conceit taken out of them there wouldn’t.be enough left to make a decent shadow. From some unknown cause the mail from Union failed to arrive at this place yesterday. To Mrs. John Edwards we are In debted for the roll of company “K” Oth H. C.

This list can be added to or cor rected as it is necessary to get as fu’l returns as possible. *Ve hope other comrades will give this work the at tention its importance demands. After having been rained out forj two weeks the debating society met! at the school house last night. The! subject was. ‘‘Resolved, That Colum bus deserves greater credit for discov ering America than Washington for defending it.” It was decided in fa vor of the affirmative. The rains have been a great hin drance to farm work. Those who have planted wish they had their seed in the house. Wheat and oats are growing right along. Fruit trees are stow putting out. This is a pretty sure sign that it will he safe. Uncle Jimmie Rains, of Manches ter, Va , sends us copies of the Rich mond papers, which we read with a great deal of pleasure.

Broad river has been higher this last freshet than at any other time during the year. Mrs. Lizzie Mitchell, of Hopewell, has placed a line monument at the grave of her husband, John W. Mitchell, who is buried at Salem. Hon. 8tanyar;.e Wilson, of Spar tanburg, has been invited to deliver an address before the Ladies Memo rial Association at Salem on decora tion day. As the Con’ederate reun ion embraces tbe 10th of May this meeting will not come off till a later date, which has not yet been fuiiy decided upon. It will doubtless be about the 25th of May. Mr. Wilson is well known in this community as a fine speaker and his coming will, no doubt, attract a large crowd. The majority of the soldiers buried there are from his native county, York, and we have no doubt this, of itself, will inspire him to put forth his best effort. Should Provi dence smile upon the occasion we hope to see a large number of vet erans present with their wives, sons and daughters. dr. and Mrs. J. T. Bigbam, of Sharon, are visiting relatives in this section. Misses Ethel and Jessie Strain are visiting Mies Lizzie Edwards. Mrs. Comer, of Kelton, mother of Mrs. J.

Madrid, April 2( —Tho mayor of Bueuos Ayres and tho Argentine dele gation, which came here to present tne queen regent with a beautiful reliquary, have been accorded an enthusiastic wel come.

The Epoca expresses its belief and gratification at the better feelings be tween the two countries, and says: “Spain is an American nation, not only historically, but by present influ ence, because there are 40,000,000 of Spanish-speaking Americans, while Spanish emigration will keep alive in the American republics love for the old couutry and streugthen the existing tiea.” IVopositlon to Strike Defeated.

CROP BULLETIN. ConiUtlDii of Carolina Crops us Keported l»y the liurt-au. Columbia, April 23.—The week ending Monday, April 22, had nearly normal temperature until the last two days, which were between 20 and 25 degrees colder than usual, and had minimum temperatures low enough for severe frosts that were averted by the rainy and cloudy weather that prevailed. There was much sunshine and dry weather until Thursday night, when a warm ruin set in that continued throughout Friday and Saturday, but on the latter day the falling tempera ture made the rain chilling, and over the western counties the precipita tion was at times in the form of hail, snow or sleet. Snow flurries were observed as far eastward as the cen tral counties. The precipitation was heavy over a large portion of the State, amounting to between three and four inches in many localities, and did much damage by packing plowed lands and washing gullies in terraces, while freshets occurred in many streams, flooding bottom lauds. Over the southeastern counties the rain was needed and proved benefi cial. Farm work made rapid progress over the eastern portions of the State, where upland corn and cotton planting is practically fiuishfd, and tobacco was largely transplanted under favorable conditions, although the plants are small; rice planting also made rapid progress, except in the Georgetown district, where fresh ets and high tides broke the river banks and flooded theQieids, prevent ing planting. In these sections corn and cotton are coming up, but ger mination is slow and stands generally poor, necessitating much replanting, but with exceptions where stands are good. Corn is receiving its first cul tivation in the southeastern countits, and oats are heading There, too, truck and gardens, and minor crops generally, are doing well and farm work is as far advanced as usual at t‘ is season. In the central and western coun ties, and particularly in the North Carolina border counties, the condi tions were less favorable, and al though much upland corn and some cotton has been planted, very lifftlc is up, as the ground has been too wet arid cold for favorable germination, and stands of stc i crops that arc up are poor. The ground was fit to plow, over the western half of the State, on from two to four days only, and the recent rains will still further delay farm work on uplands, while bottom lands will be too wet for a iong timr. Some plowed lands have been to packed by tbe heavy rains that tin y will have to he plowed again b6fo;e they arc fit for planting. The heavy rains have seemingly improved wheat, but oats were dam aged in places by too much ruin, although the crop as a whole remains very promising. Colorado beetles are widely prevalent on white potatoes. Beaches promise less than a full crop in Lexington and Edgefield counties, otherwise they are very promising. Apple and cherry trees are in full bloom. Sunshine and warmer weather are needed for all crops.

While the £outheru Alan Owns I p to His Dislike of the Black Man. New York, April 29.—The Rev. Dr. | Charles H. Parknur*t preached Sunday j at the Madison Square Presbyterian church on topics connected with his re cent trip smith. He also made an inci dental reply to Governor Candler, who was reported as having denounced those northerners who took au interest in edu cational matters in the south. Dr. Parkhurst said that the party of northern people who recently made the trip referred to did it not Wcause they had any special interest in the south as a distinct section, but becanse they were conscious of the unity which makes the north and south members of each other. The conference held at Winston-Salem, iu North Qaroliua, he said, was characterized by the utmost frankness ou botii sides, and yet, from first to last, U'jt au ‘'embittering word was spoken. Referring to Governor Candler’s criticisms, Dr. Parkborst said they would not have been made “had the governor of Georgia, as did the gov- ?ruor of North Carolina, come into di rect touch with the personnel of the conference, or lor five minutes respired tne atmosphere wnich the conference exhaled.” ^oullierners Not Hjp erltes. Referring to the estimation iu which the people of the south aud those of the nVth hold the negro. Dr. Parkhursc •aid: ••ihe southerner does not like the ne gro any better than the average north erner does, and the two carry them- l-mvcs toward the negro with just about the same amount of Chri>tiau consider- ’aiiou—only of the two the southern white man has per naps this advantage, that he do not make quire so fiamboy- Tfit a pretense of loving the negro aa uns northern coutrere does. The south- ru white man dislikes the negro, aud owns up to it. The white man iu the north dislikes the negro and lies about U.” The preacher .-aid further: “Tlie iudismmiuatiug act UjLBfl the negroes had conferred upon rhenT the right to vote was one of those blua- tiers that it is not easy to escape from after it is once committed, but which it would seem we ought to have bad northern statesmanship sufficiently in telligent to pn vent. “ine counsel that both the northern and the southern friends of the negro are now giving him is to keep qaiet upon tho whole suffrage matter, to keep one of politics, not to talk about the consti tution, not to insist upon his rights, bat to attend industriously to the work of gettiug him.-elf well ready—which he ia not now—for what God and the coun try aud the future may have iu store for him.” Dr. Parkhurst closed by the following general reference to present conditiona among southern people: Love For the Negro. “The sourn coos not altogether lova ns, but no one there hates ns nearly aa much as it would be perfectly natural for them to hate us. They are all glad that slavery is done, they are all glad that they are iu the Union. They all giory in the flag, even while in tender bereavement they lay flowers upon tba graves of the confederate dead.
