FATAL SHOOTING AFFRAY IN EOGEFIfLD.
AN OtiI> POLITICAL KEUI).
Leon J. Williams KUIh Two Men at
Bethany Church?III? Mother Wlt
iiefiHed the Difficulty, Which Ap
pear* to Have Been Forced toy the
White Br?then?.
Special to The Btatc.
The usually quiet community of Lib
erty Hill, in Eugefield County was ter
ribly shocked on Sunday afternoon,
Nov. :??. when the news spread that
Mr. Leon J. Williams had shot and
killed Messrs. L. D. and J. V. White,
brothers.
The particulars leading to tho kill
ing dato back to tho election in 18U4.
Mr. WilliamB wus then a candidato for
the Legislature and reports wcro cir
culated detrimental to his churaoter.
Mr. Williams was informed that Mr.
L. D. White was responsible for these
reports, hut matters wore kept quiet till
tho canvass of 18U0, whou Mr. White
was a candidato for tho Legislature.
A short while before tho election
letters very damaging to Mr. White
wore received by difforcnt parties In
tho county: by chaucoonoof tho letters
fell into Whito's bands, and ho saw
that Mr. Willlame was tho author.
Tho contonts of tho lottor was of such
a nature that Mr. Whito thought a re
traction and apology necessary and he
so stated to some of his friends. Friends
of both parties then went to work to
try to ameliorate matters, and it was
thought that the dltToroncos wore par
tially sottled or so much so that
trouble would be avoided, but it seems
that this wus not to tho satisfaction of
Mr. .f. V. White, who championed his
brother's cause, and kept the matter
agitated.
Tho union mooting at Bethany
Church was an occasion when the sur
roundiug county turned out en masso
and it was tho iirst time tho principals
In the tragedy had met. Just after
services Mr. J. V. Whito approached
several gentleman and told them thut
ho expected to have a conversation
with Mr. Williams and would like them
to ho present, hut ho was told that it
wus neither the time nor place and to
lot It alone, and no moro was thought
of It.
All except, a fow left the grounds,
and Mr. WllHafAS, in company with
his mother, was driving off in his bug
gy, when ho was called by J. V. Whito
and told that ho would like, to seo him.
Mr. Williams got out of his buggy and
wont to where J. V. White and L. D.
White, P. B. Calliaon and W. H. Yel
dell were standing. When J. V. White
said something about tbo lottery thut
had been written during tho lust cau
vass, Mr. Williams replied that ho
thought tho matter had been sottled
and if they wero not satidlied they
would have to act. Whito then cursed
him und shook his fist in Williams'
face, whereupon tho latter knocked
him down.
When Whito arose ho had his pistol
in ids hand and before any ono could
interfere, Williams drew and fired,
shooting his antagonist through the
heart., killing him instantly.
L. D. Whito then began cutting
Williams about tho head and face,
when ho turned his gun and shot
tho second Whito twice in tho stom
ach and in each arm. Mr. White lin
gered till 4 o'clock the next morning
when he died ; he 'had a pistol in his
pocket but did not draw it at all. Ho
stated before his death that he could
havo killed Mr. Williams had ho oar
od to.
Mr. Williame received a severe cut
across the templo and it was thought
that he would bleed to death before a
physician could reach him, but he is
now resting very well and is consider
ed out of danger.
He ie an ex-mombor of tho Legisla
ture and is now a momoer of the State
disponsary board of control. He is
welt known in many parts of tho State
and i i?s hosts of friends.
Tin. bodies of tho dead men had not
been amoved from tho church on
Monday inorning. Their sad deaths
are doubly deplorable as each leaves a
wifej and children entiroly dependent
upon them for support. Both were
Masons and will bo burled at Bethany,
the scone of tho difficulty, by the Mc
Cormiok lodge.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The McCormick correspondent of
the Augusta Chronicle eaye :
Tho cause of tho shooting was an old
fued that has existod sinco tho Till
man-Sheppard eampaingn. Instead of
timo softening and adjusting their
differences tho breach grow widor and
wider, until it culminated in tho un
timely death of tho two brothers.
As Williams was getting ready to
leave the church, J. V. Whito called
him to where Messrs. I'. B. Callison,
W. H. Yeldoll and himsolf wore stand
ing, and told him he had a few ques
tions to ask, and ho wanted these gen
tlemen to hear his answere. White
then aeked Williams to whom did he
refer In a communication of Iiis to an
Edgeflold paper.
Williams replied that ho had no
questions to ask and none to answer,
and that he thought tho matter wus
settled. Whito said that it was not
settled by a good deal, and thereupon
denounced Williams as a liar. Wil
liams advanced, but Mr. P. B. Callison
pushed him hack. Williams again
advanced, and Whito struck hin .
Williams retuned tho blow, knocking
White down. White got up and start
ed toward Williams, when Williams
drew hi? revolver and shot him
through tho heart, killing blna in
stantly.
White's brother, L. D. Whito, came
to h's assistance just before this shot
was llrod, and in the melee ho cut
Williams sovcral times, ouco across
tho 6ido of tho face, neck and urm
with a knlfo. Williams thon turned
on him and shot him four times, once
in each arm and twice in tho client.
Whito hud his revolver in bis right
band during this time, and Williams'
first shot struck him on the elbow,
rending his hand powerless, whllo Mr.
W. H. Yeldcll held him by tho other
arm, thus keeping him from firing.
A FAMOUS BTRBAM.
The Suwanee Kiver Keen Through
Sentiment; and Through Heal
Life.
To Bit in a gorgeous box at some
splendid New York thoatre, amid a
scene of lifo and brilliant glitter, and
hear tbe marvelous voico of Patti
ripplo away on the melody of Way
Down Upon de S'wanee Hibber," ie one
thing, and to travol through the Soulh
until, suddenly, with atqueak from tho
locomotive, one looks from tho window
of a Pullman car and seos for tbe first
tlmo In all bis life, tho clear, silert
water of this Btream, is qulto a dif
ferent thing. How many have seen
tbe Suwanee river through tho voll of
sontimentand song, ander the environ
ment of the first named order; and
how few, comparatively, have aotually
Mood upon tbe bank? of the river it
m If. listened totbo roft, low murmur j
of it* meandering waters, so clear,
mi herutlful, and so ' blue in eddy
place?, with trees bonding over its
bosom, all festooned with long, waving
Spanish mots, which so abounds in tho
western regions of Florida. Fewer
still are thono who bnvo lived upon
ti e l>ankaof this river.known through
if|ak>,p?) world/ 'of song, Jong enough to
?HHftiui-llilVff iff?illl^rtf^ilTf <iw"'1
?the land of flowers, song-birds and
?unsblne.
Just bow a river, a narrow little
sand bottomed, blue-watered river,
that plays bo small a part in the map
of the United Statt* as does the
Buwaneo, could ever have become fan
famous in this wluo world, does m em
strange when one comes to think of it, j
all because of a mure song, aaya a
writer in Leslie's Weekly. But, after
all, it lias aehaim all its own, and the
average visitor will had, when ho once
falls unt)er its spoil, that it will Mi ge>
with him with surprising tenacity,
grow upon him like Ibo shadow of
some mysterious fascination. No doubt
there was some such inspiration be
hind the line?:
Way down upon de 8'wanee ribber,
Far, far away.
Dur's wliar my heart am turniu' ebber,
Dar's wbar do old folks atay.
Be that as it may, no such ideal pic
ture book BODgs as this aro ever heard
on the Suwaaee river in real life, un
less It be, now and then, when some
residont of this section chooses to hum
a few lines of this Humo bong in a spirit
much the same as that of the deacon
in church who says " Amen " when the
preachor has liolshou the morning
prayer?simply agreeing to what the
author of this immortal song has writ
ten.
But thcro aro songs along the Su
v.anco river that are characteristic
aud unique in all their plaintive me
lody, pathos and humor. The negroes
who aro found at work along thu river,
either on tho little boats that haul
timber up and down from tho mills or
phosphate from tho mines, or out in the
lumber camps and fields along tho
rlvor bank, scorn to bo all given to
pong. They go about their work in
tho morning' with a song and sing all
tho livelong day, crooning 6omo plain
tive air in a monotonous fashion, or
elso joining in a chorus where thero
aro several of them, and making tho
woods around fairly reverberate with
tho echoes of their camp-meoting
hymns, BUOh us this :
" Jcs' look over yonder what I see?
Angels bid mo tcr come?
Bee two angles eallin' at me?
Ai.gcls hid me tcr come.
ltific an' shine, mourner,
ltise an'shine, mourner,
Kiss an'shine, mourner.
Fur dc angels hid 'er me tor come I"
How their rich, mellow voices do
molt away in tho distar.ee as they j.;in
in this sweet old air. ar,d how toe
i plaintivo strain soems to die away upon
J the bighing waters of tho famed rivor !
I And when thoy get to the oliorus how
they swing around at their work and
bear down on tho loud pedal of their
voices and throw the genuine old
jubilee vigor of camp-meeting times
into tho song. If thoy aro cutting logs
for the saw-mill nigh at hand they are
apt to swing tboir axes in full timo
w i: h tho measure of tho song, aud this
gives it all tho more interest and pocu
lr.tr ebarm.
One of tho lively "jig songs" that
uro often heard in tho lumber aud
phosphate camps along tho Suwauce
river runs something Jiko this :
" Jay-bird up tie sugar tree,
Sparrow on do groun,'
Jay-bird shake de sugar down,
Sparrow pass hit cruuu'.
Shoo, ladies, shoo,
Shoo, Indies, shoo,
ShOO, ladles, shoo my gal,
I'm boun1 for Sugar Hill.
Five cents is my pocket change,
Ten cents is my hill;
If times don'git no bettah hcah
I'm boun1 for Sugar Hill."
Etc, etc.
Tbc music to this song is much in
tho fashion of tho common negro
eongs, lively, yet full of pathos and
plaintive melody. There is that in all
negro songs that is plaintive, even
their most exasperating foot-shakiu.r
and soul-stirring "jig songs."
True, typical negro songs raroly ever
show any oartii ular effort at prepara
tion. They seeiu to just boil right out
of tho darkies' heart und soul, and if
by chance they manage to get a fairly
good rhyme or jingle to them, it is by
no tpecial poetical painstaking on the
part of the author, and, in fact, is of
but little consequence to him.
Such uro the BO'igs that one hears on
tho Suwaneo river, in theso modern
days ef progress und material develop
ment. Florida is a great field for the
promoter of new eu'orprises now, and
the world of song among tho darkies
Is pretty closoly aligned with the new
industrial world of development which
such men as Mr. Ii. 13. Plant, the rail
road und steamship magnate, adorn.
Under tho touch of such men's wands
Florida is rapidly becoming a State of
railroads, manufactories and agricul
tural industries, and the old luxurious
atmosphere of sentiment and song is
rising like mist from tho region of the
Suwaneo river in tho biinshinc of a
brighter day.
COL. BAWYKH'S GHOST STORY.
The Ingenuity of a Runaway Negro
In Slavery TIiiich.
T. A. in Columbia llegister.
In running through my note-book
during un idle hour, yesterday, I came
across a "ghost story" told just a few
months ago by Col. Claude E. Sawyer,
court stenographer for tho South Carj
iina Second Circuit. It is ralhor sin
unusual tale, and how I have happen,id
to overlook It for so long a tinu 1 can'
imagine.
It wu-< on tho night of tho second day
of tho "Broxten Bridge Lynching'' trial
at Alken, Solicitor Bellinger, State
Detective Nowbold, Col. Sawyer und
several others were enjoying cigars to
gether, and spinning yarns, as Is tho
fashion with men when timo hangs
heavy on their hands.
Tho general drift of theso narratives
was towards tho horrible. Bollinger
bad sketched tho main incidents of a
revolting murder trial in which ho had
Qgurcd for tho defense, and Newbold
bad recounted some of his blood-curd
ling experiences when a member of
the celebrated Texas Bangers. It was
now Sawyer's turn to upouk.
Tho colonel is a largo man, with a
Ilogarthian face. Bis forehead is hign
and broad, and curling locks of brown
black hair partially conceal a crown
somewhat denuded of capliary adorn
inent. lie wears gold spectacles, and
lias an odd little catch in his speech
which lends positive attraction to tho
utterance.
"I'll give you a story," bogen Saw
yer, relighting his cigar, and leaning
back comfortably in bis chair, "that is
altogether dllTerent from those you
fellows bavo told. Thero is a ghost In
it?or what was taken for GDC?but no
violence or bloodshed. It happened
many years ago?before the war?up
in what Is now Saludu, and was related
to mo by tbo chief actor in tho adven
ture.
This promised well, so wo all encour
aged Sawyer to proceed: but as I am
quito powerless to depict in cold type
tho peeular charm imparted to tho
story by 'the Colonel's llttlo trlok of
speech, I shall tp.ko tho llborty of nar
ration it in mv own words. ?
It seeins that thoro was a cortaln
disused graveyard in tbe neighborhood
alluded to that gave the good people
roundabout conshlerablo uncus.ncss.
Up to a given dato there had boon
nothing espeoial to distinguish tho spot
from other places of sepulture, but all
of a sudden, as it wore, the locality
sprang into ill-repute, and people pass
ing that way, even in broad daylight,
began to look aakanoo at the gleaming
homlstoncB, and unconsolously hurry
their paco. As for tbe negroes living
in tlx. vicinity, nothing could induce
them to pass tbisgravey&rd after dark.
Tlw stoutest heart among them quail
ed at the very mention of Its name,
and all were agreed tiiat evil spirits
hold high carnival there frotu syo/jct
frlg\t
graves soon aftor nightfall, Sometimes
these colsts resembled domoaiaoal
laughter?at least so it was said?aud
again gioaob and wails, as If of a soul
In torment. No cne had tho courage
to investigate them, and so It was not
long before tho place, by common con
sent, was doeeribed as "haunted," and
everyone, especially the negroes, kept
roilgiouaiy away from it.
Aud now tho h?ro appears on the
scene?in otb^r words, tho gentleman
from wbom Col. Sawyer received the
story. He was a stranger to the neigh
borhood, and was there for a fow days
on business only. He had beard the
tales about the old cemetery, and being
a man of aerve and of an investigating
turn of mind, he quietly determined to
selvo the mystery if possible.
So one night about ten o'clock ho
rode out to the little necropolis, tied
his horse to the fence, olambored over
into the enclosure, and sat down upon
a horizontal tombstone to await re
sults.
For perhaps an hour tho silence was
unbroken; tbon suddenly a mournful
noiso?something between a croon and
a croak?issued from the ground di
rectly undor the listener's feet. It
startled him for a moment, but quickly
recovering himself, he procoeded to
oxamino the spot. Accidentally plac
ing his hand on an adjoining Blab of
marble, be found It to bo quito warm.
Uero was something that needed ex
planation. Kunning his hand down
tho side of the tomb?for such it
wa6?lie found that tho stone grow
hotter and hotter. He now began a
minuto examination of the vault, as
well as the darkness of the night would
admit.
Prosontly he discovered a little apor
turo into tho depths below, and look
ing down thlshoio imagine his surprise
at soetng a bed of glowing coals. Fum
bling around still further, ho at length
became awaro that a stone abuut throe
fcot Kjuare in tho tide of tho vault was
loose, and with a suddon jork ho tum
bled it upon tho grass. A yell from
within tho tomb followed thisunergctlc
mcasuro, and the head of a negro ap
peared at tho opening; and at tho stern
summons of tho white man this "black
spirit" came forth, and tho mystory of
the graveyard wus solved at last.
Tho negro was led by his captor to
tho nearest house, whero ho was id en
titled as the long lost property of a
gentleman who lived not far distant,
it appoars that about six months be
fore tho man had run away, and with
low cunning had conceived tho idea of
hiding in tho disused cemotery, and by
making unearthly noises at night
frighten pcoplo into bolloving tho
rdaeo to bo haunted. Tho negro had
discovered tho loose Btono in tho tomb,
and after clearing out that receptacle
of its long inouldod contents, he had
made it his own dwelling placo, for
aging through the surrounding coun
try undor cover of darkness for neces
sary "supplies."
Colonel Sawyer vouches for the in
tegrity of this story. The gentleman
who related It to him ia "above suspi
cion," ho says ; and aftor all, when one
comes to look at It, thero is nothing
improbable in tho narrative.
A CONDITION AND NOT A THEORY.
HHVIBW OP THE CUBAN SITUA
TION.
Tho Patriotic IiiMir;;<-iiiN Belong to
Kvcry Class?Tho Cubans Cumin!
bo Si an od.
Gen. Bradley T. Johnson, in discuss
ing tho situation in Cuba, says that it
is impossible to get reliable or ac
ourate information as to tho Cuban
arm/.
" I investigated carofully," snid he,
"and was never satislied. Consider
the state of mind in Baltimore among
Southern sympathizers during the
civil war, recall tho exaggerations of
their enthusiasm and tho dreams
of their hopes. Then intensify that a
thousand-fold and you have a faint
idea of tho condition of things in Ha*
hana today. AH Spaniards are for tho
government?all Cubans are for tho re
bellion.
" What sort of people aro supporting
tho rebellion,'' tho general was asked.
" Tho bankers, tno planters, tlio
writers, the lawyers, tho doctors, tho
professors of tho Uulvorsity of Efabsna
and the people. Tho University of 11a
bana is a hotbed of patriotism. Theboys
run oil' by the scoreVi to join (Jome/. and
Maceo, and some of the professors are
ministers plenipotentiary from the
I Cuban republic to the South American
I governments, as Franklin and Lau
i ions wero from tho devoted colon
ies to. Franco in 1777-78. I think tbo
property, tho culture and tho courage
of the inland is On the side of tho re
bellion.
" Tho insurrection is supported by
wealth, directed -by intelligence and
conducted with genius and courago. 1
think tho robols outllght aud out
munocuvro tho Spaniards, and they
will wear thorn out.
14 There Is no chance of tho rehols
being starved out of tho Pinar del Uio
district, for tho woods are full of eat
tle, hogs and sweot potatoes. They
will always have plenty to cat. Thoy
arc armed with Remingtons, Sponccrs,
Mausers, every variety of carbine and
revolver and allot them first rate, but
their cai trides ought to lit all guns of
the same kind. They have sinco 1
left, got home dynamite guns, cannons
worked by compressed air and some
guns for smokeless powdor. They have
a few American and foroign artillerists
who will rapidly instruct other foreign
ers in tho sorvice, and as thoir artil
lery is reinforced, skilled mon will be
ready to UBO the. new cannon. I would
say without any detiuito information,
that they need company otllcers, lieu
tenants and orderly sergoants, more
than anything else. Thoy are making
the gamest tight that ever was made
?not excepting that made by tho Con
federates In tho civil war. Thoy aro
wearing out tho Spaniards and after
General VVeylor comos back to Habana
again, tho Spaniards will not throw up
tho sponge, but will sit in the towns
and make faces at tbo robels, who will
rule the country.
" But if thoy dosuccood will they ho
capable of self-government, will tboro
not bo a repetition of San Domingo or
Mexico?"
" No Latin triho Is capable of solf
government. That roqnires tho con
stant struggle against tho forces of
raturo and tho pressure of powor such
as tho* Anglo-North mon conducted for
u thousand years against tho tompests
of tbo North Sea and tho encroach
ments of feudal power?a thousand
years to produco suoh a raco as this
seif-reliant,'self controlled, liberty-lov
ing, justloo and right practloing Am
erican raco. It is tbo evolution of tho
ages. It is tbo flower of civilization,
and no Roman raco will ever equal it.
' Its area is about equal to Pennsylva
nia ; its popnlation 1,102,890 white,
185,187 nogroes and 43,811 Chinese.
Negroes include all mixed blood;
white moans puru blooded. You per
oelvo the pmutation is about equal to
that of Virginia und is similarly mixed
?about two whites to one of all other
raoos.
" With poaco and order ro6tored
there, how long would it take for 2,
000,000 American moohantca to take
possession of tho island ? Suoh an im
migration of skill, energy and industry
as would flow into Cuba the world has
novor seen. - That would dispose of tbo
St. Domingo, Mexican, nigger republic
spook."
'' Macco is tho genius of tho war. Ffo
is a quadroon. His mother was the
daughter of a Spaniard of rnnk, as he
is tho son of a Spanish o?locr. He
is well educated, bright,alert, dashing

UNCLE CEOHGE TIJLL.MAN.
The Crime of His Early Career and
the Way He Expiated It In Jail.
From the New York Bun.
Rome, Ga., Nov. 27.?Capt. B. F.
Clark, a resident of this oity, was in
bis younger days a neighbor of the
noted Tiliman family, and knew both
Benjamin R. Tillman and bis brother,
George Tillman, untill recently a
member of Congress from South Caro
lina. Georgo was by far tho most
promisiug and is several years oldor
thun Ben.
" Whon he was a young man In 1858,
I think," said Cupt. Clark, " ho was a
candidate for tho Stute Sonato. He
had served for several yoars in tho
lower House, and when ho offered
himself for the Senate there was no
man who stood a better chanco of
winning than Georgo Tillman. Ho
was eloquent and aetive, und hud in
spired in the minds of the people of
tho district tho highest idea of I.is
ability and integrity, so that no one
doubted that he would be elected. He
was stumping tho district, and during
his tour no stopped one night In the
towu where I lived, and after supper
sturted out for a little amusement.
" In that day and time, I am sorry
to say, gambling was considered one
of tho ordinary vices of a gentleman,
and very l'ttlo attention was paid to
tho suloous whore poker, roulette,
faro and other games wero indulged in
by tho young bloods of tho country as
unfashionable sport. Georgo Tillman
entered a saloon and took a seat at a
tublo und was soon absorbed in the
game. Tho play proceeded qulotl/
enough for a while, and then a dispute
arose and hot words followed. Tho
dealer was directly opposite Tillman,
and held In his hand an ivory knifo
used in putting up tho counters.
"Tillman was very near-sighted, and
as tho lio passed between him and tho
dealor ho saw tho latter raise tho pa
per knifo, and, mistaking it for a.
bowie knifo, orew his pistol and shot
tho man dead. In tho confusion that
followed he quietly slipped out of tho
room, and, mounting his horse, rode
asvay at full speed. Tho man whom he
had killed was not thought much of in
tho community, being regarded as
rather a sorry citizen, and not much
effort was made to apprehend Tillman,
who soon found menus to got out of tho
country.
" Ho went to Nicaragua and served
with tho ill-starred Walker in his ro
mautic career in that country until af
ter his downfall, when ho went fur
ther south, visiting various South
American countries. Finally bo went
to Cuba and fought with tho Cuban pa
triots, but wheu their efforts for free
dom ended in disaster, ho decided to
roturn to tho United States. Ho hud
gono through so many hairbreadth es
capes and thrilling adventures that ho
grow weary of tho wild life, ami came
j back to stand his trial and to trust nis
I futc to a jury.
"" His promising public career had
I been suddculy cut short by that unfor
I tunato affair in the gambling saloon,
j but ho still had many friends in ESdgC*
! bold who wore willing to partially con
! done his youthful offoneo. Uo was
I tried and confessed to tho killing, but
dischiimod any malico in the matter.
I heard his statement in open court,
and lie said that he thought that
Christian, tho man whom he shot, was
advancing on him with an open bowio
knife, and believing that his own lifo
was in danger, ho lired in self-defence.
Tho jury was disposed to bo lenient
with him and ho was found guiity of
manslaughter. The judge Imposed
tho lightest penalty under the law for
the crime, two years in the common
jail of tho county. A cousin of mine
was jailer, and ho knew Tillman well,
and had a great dual of respect for
him. They were both Free Masous,
and when Tillmau was scut to jail to
sorve out his sentence ho made a prop*
osition to my cousin, the jailer. Uo
told him that if lie would perm t, him
to occupy a certain room on tho ground
lloor of the jail he would lit It up com
fortably and remain in there during
tho two years of his sentence. Ho
gave tho jailer his word as a Mason
and a gentleman that he would never
sot foot on the ground during his term
of imprisonment. The jailer took him
at Iiis word, and he proceeded to
furnish tho apartment in oomfortablo
stylo. He had a lot of books carried
to tho jail, and in his room for two
years ho liven, receiving occasional
callers aud t ransacting a good deal of
business as a legal advisor to those who
Chose to avail of his skill and know
ledgo as a lawyer.
"Hut never did ho cross tho thres
hold of that room. The door stood
open when tho weather was line, and
tho outer gato of the prison was fre
quently loft unclosed, so that ho might
have walked out at almost any time
without molestation while tho jailer
was occupied with his duties about
tho prison, but George Tillman had
givon his word that ho would not set
his foot on tho ground until his term
expired, and ho valued his promise too
highly to violato it in tho slightest. I
havo seen him sitting on tho porch
with his feet dangling over tho edge,
but be never let thorn got any nearer
tho ground. Ho was a hard student,
and during tho two years of his In
carceration ho read a great deal, and
acquired a vast fund of information.
Ho bad travolcd so cxtenslvoly that
with the largo fund of book learning
ho was one of the best informed men

ABSOLUTELY PURE
The Cotton Industry in China and Japan.
WHAT AN EXPKHT SAYS AilOUT
IT.
Tho Bapid Progress In Japan is At
tracting Attention?Tho Mills in
China are Slowly Increasing.
Alfred B. Shepperson, New York.
Tho cotton manufacturing Industry
of Jupun has attained considerable
importance, and its rapid progress is
attracting attention, not so much on
account of what bus already been ac
complished us for tho further develop
ment which may ho expectod. Tho
Japanese have until recently chiefly
depended upon Km op and India for
cotton goods and yarns : but it seems
evident that before many years they
will not only munufaeluro ull the clotu
and yarns needed for their own use but
will be formidable competitor with
Ecgland und India for the trade of
China atid other eastern countries.
They poscOBS no special advantages
for cotton manufacturing except u
good climate und ObOUp uud etlicient
labor. The mills aro equipped with
tho most modern of European machin
ery", the duty on which is only ? per
cent. There is now no duty on raw
cotton, as tho previous duty of 5 per
cent, was removed in April, ISilo. The
duty on cotton cloth and yarns is 5 per
cent.
[n Jtw ll><,8 ?hrro were in Japan
Ciiiy tiiiicteou tuiui.h", with 83,
3(1U spindles. In 185)0, thorn were
twenty-four mills, with 210,000 ipln
dies, and thcir-consumption of c tton
v. as equal to 88,473 bales (of GUI) p und*
next) On May 31, 1890, there w to at
work -sixty-three mills, with ?>'? 3,009
spindled and 3,oU5 looms, employing
42,388 operatives (including da; and
night bands )
Four new mills, with 85,000 spit.dies,
were projected, and it was proposed
to add :i68,bOO spindles to the tixty
threo mills. Within a few months,
therefore, there will probably be l;uoo,
U00 spindles at work.
During' tho year ending December
31 ; 18!I5, the Japanese mills consumed
the equivalent of 364,000 bales [of 500
pounos not) of cotton of the following
growths, viz : Japanese, 4,702 bales :
Chinese, 1(52,808 bales, East Indian,
1I3,87() bales ; American, 37,100 bales ;
Korean, etc., 15,508 bales.
The wages paid to thi ,operatives are
vory low, averaging 17 son (equal to 17
cents in silver) per djiy for men and
boys, and !) sen per day) for women and
girls. Men received '2>) to 35 sen : wo
men, 15 to 20 sen ; boys and glris, 5 to
10 sen per day of 11 actual working
hours. One hundred sen make a yen
which is i (i mil to $1 in silver or about
50 tents in United States numoy.
The mills run day and night and are
in operation 22 hem s each day. There
are two sets of hands?one for day and
the other for night work.
Upsides putting aside something for
a reserve fond, the mill dovidends /or
the year 1805 are reported as averag
ing Hi per cent.
1 do not apprehened any interference
with our domestic or export trade
from the competition of .Japanese mills.
In coarse goods such as are made in
Japan the cost of the raw material Is
so much greater than the cost of its
manufacture that the cheaper and bet
tor cotton which our mills have will
compensate for the bigor wages which
they pay.
Some cotton is grown in Japan, but
it has <t coarse, short staple, and is in
ferior to Chiiese and Indian cotton,
it is grown In small patches by many
farmers, but never as a chief crop.
The hist crop was t quivalcnt to about
(10,000 hales (of ?00 pounds), while the
crop of 1S87 was 101,000 bales. My
Japanese friends tell mo tho cultiva
tion will continue to diminish, as the
mills use Japanese cotton to a very
limited extent and factory made yarns
anil oloth v. ill gradually displace those
made, in their hom< s by hand machines.
Much of the native cotton is manu
factured into cotton batting for lining
winter garment.-!, etc. It is also us d
for rugs and coarse cloth. Tho small
quantity used in the mills Is for mix
ing with foreign cotton of hetU r
quality.
In China there are now eightcotton
mills in operation, with09,700 spindles.
Six mills uro at Shanghai and two a'
Hong Kong. It is proposed to add
1(1S,"0U spindles to these mills and to
erect at Ninpo a mill with 0,200 spin
dles. A small mill is bolug erected at
Hang Chow and several more mills arc
projected at Shanghai. A recent con
sular report states that tho highest
average wages loaid to mill operatives
in Shanghai is equal to 20 cents in
silver per day.

TO CHANGE THE NAME.
Confederate Camps Arc- Asked to
Change the Name of their Organi
zation.
Columbia State.
Last July in Richmond at tho reuuion
of the Confederate veterans the body
upon tho presentation of a memorial
Iroui camp4:k), of Augusta, Ga.,suggest-i
ing that tbo name of tho organization
be changed from the " United Oonfed
erate Veterans " to that of tho "Con
federate Survivors' Association," so
that the beloved "C. S. A." oan bo
used and perpetuated, Instructed tho
adjutant general by resolution to send
tho memorial to all camps In tho or
ganization with tho request that they
act upon tho mutter before the next
convention of tho veterans which will
bo held in Nushvillo, Teun., on May 7,
8 and D next.
The Augusta camp maintains that
the original reason for udopting tho
name " United Confederate Veterans"
has now ceased to exist, it was for
the prevention of confusing tbo gen
erai organization with local organiza
t o is of survivors then known as as
sociations. They maintain that tho
term " U. C. V." has no history and no
precious memories of the past attached
to it. Should dead comrades como to
life tboy woulu not recognize tho pres
ent insignia. Hut tho " C. S. A."
would ever he recognized and regarded
with affection. Tho "C. S. A.'s"
meaning is too well known to need a
word as to its appropriateness. It
stands tirst for tho Confederate States
of America and then for tho Confeder
ate States army. Why not let tho few
who remain of that army have tho
name, they love so dearly : In such a
light was the matter presented.
Now as tlaio lb Hying the Augusta
camp has onco more begun to push the
matter and is writing letters to the va
rious camps asking laem to act upon
the suggestion. Such a hitter has been
received hero and Camp Hampton will
doubtless pass upon tho Suggestion at
its next meeting. Tho other camps in
this State will likely pass upon tho
matter of tho proposed change in the
noxt month.

The Discovery of a Wonderful Oatar
aot in the Mountains of Venezuela.
Tho following letter has been re
ceived in St. Paul, Minn., from S. A.
Thompson, who is now at Santa Cata
lina, Venezuela:
4 During th exploration of tho con
cession of the Orinoco Company, head
ed by Donald Grant and other Minne
sota men, a trail was cut to the Una
taea Mountains, starting from this
point, a village of lf>0 inhabitants.
Tlie duties assigned to sumo members
(if the party kepi thotu upon or clost
to the Orinoco until a few weeks ago,
when two of Ud, Leslie O. Dart, of
L't dilield, Minn., und myself, of Du
luth, found tune to make an excursion
to tho mountains.
*' Pushing on beyond the point reach
ed by tho Other party, we heard from
a top of a mountain ? a sound which
lirst wo thought to bo thundor, but
aftorwurd decided that it must come
! from a water fa11 of considerable, mag
| nltude. Working In the general di
rection of the sound over a dillicult
trail we came, at noon on Thursday,
October 15, to a largo river, and dis
covered what must rank as ono of the
greatest waterfalls in tho world.
"The river bursts diagonally through
an almost perpendicular cliff, which 1
I estimate to lie 1,(100 feet iu height,
'at aks into hall a do/, u separate
streams, which divide and subvlvlde,
spreads out into br< ad, fan-like expan
BionSi ami twists about in snob a ou
i ious corkscrew fashion that the water
;it the bot tom of the falls Hows in ex
actly the opposite direction from the
course it holds where it lirst comes
into view.
By clinging In bushes and going
up the giant en epori hand over hand,
wo climbed up tho ell IT until tho ne
ro d indicated an elovntion of more
than 500 feet, but it was impossible to
reach the top and loarn now much
higher the falls are."
