WAR CORRESPONDENTS
HATE NO SHOWING.
Complaint of Their Treatment
hi' Otis Sent to London.
London, July 25.?A private ,
letter received here today from a
war correspondent at Manila and
dated June 17th, savs : "There ^
seems to be no end of the war in
sight. The censorship is constantly
becoming more troublesome.
Gen. Otis recently established a
rule that any matter relating to
the navy must be taken to the 1
commander of the fleet for his '
approval and afterward submitted
to the military censor, thus adding
to our difficulties. For some
reason which the censor would
not explain, Gen. Otis refused to
allow us to send the death of the
Monadnock's captain (Nichols)
for two days after its occurrence.
The general also refused to allow
us to send news of the disappear
ance of Uapt. Rockefeller (April
2S) on (he ground that it would
worry his family, or the killing
of Capt. Tilley, of the signal <
corps, until the next day. The
correspondents are all very tired
of this arrangement, which simply
means that they must go out and
run large chances of getting shot
several times a w.eek with no
chance of making reputations,
because their stories must always
reflect Otis' view.
"It is impossible to write the
truth about the situation. The
resources and lighting qualities
of the natives are quite misunderstood
by the American papers
and we cannot write the facts
without being accused of treason;
nor can we tell of the practically
like of the war among ihe American
troops. The volunteers, or
at least a portion of them, were
at one time on the verge of
mutiny, and unless Gen. Otis had
begun sending them homewards
there would have been sensational
developments.
"We have been absolutely refused
all hospital figures."
imOLGHT TO ATLANTA.
Mob Held Up Train at Newman
and Searched For Him.
Atlanta, Ga., .July ?Sheriff
Reeves, of I'ike county, Alabama,
placed Albert Wright, one
of the Negroes accused of assault
ing Mrs. Ogletree, in jail here
this afternoon.
The sherifF states that when the
train passed through Newnan, a
mob of armed men boarded it
and demanded that the prisoner
be turned over to them. Wright
had been concealed in the bag
gage car, however, before New
nan was reached and after making
what they thought to be a
thorough search of the train the
wohld-be lynchers permitted the
train to pull out, thinking the
Negro was not aboard.
The Negro denies his guilt, but
Sheriff Reeves states that he has
been id en titled by Mrs. Ogletree.

Our community was blessed
with a shower last night and
another to-day.
We have been very dry since
our crops were planted. Cotton
crops are looking very well considering
the long dry spell. Old
corn is very poor except bottom
lands which looks very promising
; we only need a wet spell to
get a grin on the farmers.
Mrs. W. B. Sapp who has been
visiting relatives and friends in
Lancaster and Kershaw has returned
home accompanied bv her
sist?>r, Mrs. Emma Fincher, who
reports fine corn crops in her
travels.
Miss Gurrie Garton" returned
home Sunday evening after spending
a week with her cousin, Mrs.
J. I'. Garton. J
We have two candidates in the ^
lieMjboth are running for the same ^
office,?one in York county the
other in Chester county, and we
hope they will not get left.
Mr. W. B. Sapp will leave one
lay this or the first of next week
to visit relatives and friends in '
Lancaster. Plow Boy.
