Probably a False Report, But, if True, it Ought to be Answered m This Fashion. New York Mail and Exprese. It is ao uteriy false proposition that "the recognition of Coban belligerency is not desired by the property owoers of the island, who are even more strongly opposed ro independence." The President, if he has said tbat, as reported io thc disparehes from Washington, has deliberately shut his eyes to the most easily obtainable facts. More than one-half of the area of Cuba ?S owned by native Cubans 'More than 60 per cent, of her sugar and tobacco estates, which are her chief sources of wealth: are owned by native Cubans. So active have they been that Weyler has m a proclamation, ordered the confiscation cf their properties unless they can clear their ski ts of info enees naturally drawn from the presence of their sous, relatives, employes and ten? ants in the patriot ranks. Score? of tbe*-e men with properties worth from $100 OOO r0 $1 500,000, selling every dollar's worth they produce to the Unired States, yet. compelled to buy every dollar'?? worth they consume from Spa n, because of an outrageously a-birrary and discriminating tariff, have barely managed to make both ends meet, year after year, kqowing that with iodepeudeoee or ar exation to the United States they -Vjou'd reap profit and sell their sugar at a cent less per pound. We have heard from American and French planters, as w?ll as from these native Cubans "Give us anything, even negro domination, for noshing c^n be so bad as the pres? ent Soanish rule " Io the opinion of Mr Cleveland and M?*. Olney, says the report, "the presence of the Spanish army is 'ill that keeps the island from a state of anar coy." This is as insulting to the intelli? gence of Americans as it is to the brave patriots who have a declaration of inde? pendence and a Constitution modeled Sifter our own ; who have a thoroughly Organized government, with a president, a cabinet and a congress, of which our own was taken as a model ; who have aj armv of 60,000 men conducting cam? paigns il 80 scientific a manner that ail the military skiil of Spain's generals at the "head of 200,000 men has rasulfed in a series of defeats termioa fciag in the complete occupatioo of al most the whole of Coba, and who furthermore, have such secure p^s 83Ssion of the interior, of the island that the flag of the new rebublic fbats i psaccefully over a hundred towns, j where the Spanish oever invade, where J taxes are collected, where esratps hav?? begun-to grind cane, where business bas j been resumed and where women are safe. Minister de Lome has represented Secre:ary Olney that his government is ..res dy to put into effect the reform i; W rec?*i?ny j assed as soon as this can '.?e don?." That is why Cuba is in revolution. After the Ten Years' War, and near'-v twenty years 3go, Spain used the denti cal language of that promise Whet: she had robbed for twenty years and the patience of (Juba was exhausted, she passed the reform law to prevent a war that Campos, Sagasta, Canovas and her whole goveromeot saw was inevitable. Cuba waited The law was a dead letter the day after it was Rjade. Then Cuba took up arms again. Not even then was independence de? clared, and Spain could have ended the war even after Campos landed in the island, but the message he sent to the patriots was the same daily excuse and evasion-"as soon as it can be done " Cuba knows-the world knows-possi? bly the President does not koow-bow much water z Spanish promise can hold. Secretary Oiney is said to ''justify the action of the President in suggest? ing conciliatory propositions"-apolo? gizes for them in other words-"by the single plea of the great and growing commercial and industrial interests of United States citizens in Cuba." In the past eleven months the Ameri? can people have paid $36,000,000 raore for the sugar they have consumed than they paid the last year before the war broke out. This is only one item of our expense bill for aiding Spain to prolong a struggle which inevitably must end against ber There is uo way now of forming an estimate of the millions of American property which has been destroyed, and for which all claims agaiost. the bankrupt monarchy will be valuable only as souvenirs of the new republic. ' The President," concludes the re? port, "believes that the Cubans and their allies in the United States would withdraw their pecuniary assistances and moral support if the promised re? forms should be carried out." Tni> is too driveling to deserve com? ment. Picnic at Providence. PROVIDENCE, S. C , April 17, 1896. The Tirzah High behool gave a delightful picnic in the grove near the residence of Mr. Lee Scarborough to-day, which ever}' one preseut seemed to erjjyy very much To state thal the teacher, Miss Maggie Scarborough was io charge, is t sufficient guarantee that the programme was carried out to perfection. The people of Providence are proud ot the fact that they employ home talent ia ali of their schools. The old adage that "a preDhet is without hooor in bis own country" oes not apply to the charming, accomplished od popular teacher of the Tirzah High cbool. F. H. Evanson The Dispesnary. _ j How the Governor Says tne I New Law Will act. Governor Evans yesterday very ! frankly told how it is proposed to ad? minister the dispensary law, if the amendment ia held to be constitutional in the fest case that is to be tried ac Charleston soon. Judge Simonton. said the governor, in rendering his decisiou on a pe^sou hav? ing the right to import liqaors for per 8 ?os 1 use, said in part: Nowhere in the act are liquor? cootainiog alcohol declared against the morals, health and welfare of the community. If this had been declarad the decision might, have been different." N>w to meet this bis words have bees incorporated in the amendment and alcoholic drinks are expressly stated io be delaterious to the morals, ? b>a tb and welfare of the people, and, bei o ti such, all imported drinks must b? anal}zed by the State chemist to see if they are pure. This law is expeced to come under the pure food a^ts pas? sed by congress" [f the ca*e is decided against the State, Judie Simonton will be going back on what he has previously said, thinks the governor. Should the case be decided for the. j S'ate seizures of all packages, whether for personal use or otherwise will be ordered and they will be sent to Colum? bia. The privte packages will not be at alyzed by the State chemist, but will be le1 to run into the tank.- at the dis?

South Carolina is going to lave the best exhibit of any Southern State at the Cotton States exposition, says the j governor. if i speaking of South Carolina phos? phate, he said this industrv could never be supplanted by the Florida fertilizers.

The followicg advertisement appear- \ ed in Friday's Sun : Information wanted of John Wea- j ver, who about forty years ago was in ; the grocery business on the northeast j corner of Gough and Eden Streets, and subsequently enlisted in the United j States Navy. Address N Lynch, 933 j Hopkins Avenue East. Mr. Nicholas Lynch, who inserted the advertisement, state's that for nearly forty years he had been looking for Mr. Weaver to settle a bill contracted be? fore the civil war. *4At the time the bill waR contract? ed.''said Mr. Lynch, "Mr. Weaver was engaged io the grocery business at Gough and Eden Streets. At the breaking out of the war I was appoint? ed master sailmaker on the old Albany. Weaver about that time closed out bis business and enlisted on the same ship as a fireman. Oar positions in rank being different, ? saw very little of him, and mone* on board ship being almost an unknown quantity. I could not pay him. At the close cf the war, I understand, be was tranferred to another ship, and [ returned to Balti? more '.Many times daring these years I have thought I could nod him, but all efforts proved useless until the adver? tisement was put in The Sun. Friday morning ayoung man called upon me regarding the advertisement. He stated he was Weaver's son, and that, his mother was living at 1 310 East Monument Street.. I called on Mrs. Weaver and found she was the widow of my friend. She knew nothing of the bill I owed her husband, and was very grateful for the money. I am growing old. and did not. care to re I member that I owed a man money for j fond received in my younger day*, j Mr. Weaver, his widow tells me. dii-d j I at sea from yellow fever very soon after j the war." - Ml 11^ -H MM - An A.

C., April 20, '96. According ?u n{..poin i merl t the A mu.-eme tu : Cluo met Ht Mr. Mau Ramsey's last Friday! night. The following programme was ren? dered: Music, Messrs Hey ward and Hampton ! Ramsey ; Reading, Miss Kati- Wbilden ; Re- j citntioo, Miss Carrie Broun ; Speech, Mr. i McDonnld Furman ; Reading. Dr. Richard | Furman ; Recitation, Mr. Dwight Cain; Music, Misses Tain lah R-imsey and Una Wells. The next meeting of the Club will be held at the Furmau residence Friday night, | May I. Amung the old ladies of this township is Mro. Dol.y Osteen, widow of Squire Thomas H. Osteen. She will he 83 in June. Her health is not good now. She is remarkable as never huving had the measles until she was 75 years old. Last week we spoke of Mrs. Elizabeth Hodge, an old lady cf 87; she lives on the Mantling Public Road; hardly ?wo miles from her, on the same road, lives Mrs. Mary Tindal, who is 83 years old and between these two and on this sarn^- road, is Mrs. Millie Pritchard, who is also over 80. This is cer? tainly a remarkable instance of three old ladies I i vi nc near together. On account of ill health, Prof. Richard Cain, of the S. C. Co-Educational Institute, is now with his family. Mr. Tally Ingram has been on a pleasant trip to the up country. He went part of the way in his buggy and reports that he h-id a '.huge time." He attended a double wed? ding of bis relatives, at Heath Springs, in Lancaster CouLty, und visited ssveral local? ities in that section. He was gone several days. Miss Jane. Kolh, of south western Privateer, died on Saturday and was to ne buried yes? terday at th? Calvary Baptist Church, in northern Clarendon. She was at>out 50 j ears of age. I In a recent communication we stated that j i Dr Wyman will preach at Bethel the forenoon of tbe second and fourth Sunday, and tbe Rev. Mr. Bellings, the new pastor at Provi? dence, will peach ut that church the afternoon of the same Sundays. The printer made 41 mistake and put ''tbe church" insiead ot "that church," which phraseology would make it appear that Mr. Billings preaches at j Bethel as weil as Dr Wy mm. We call at? tention to the mistake here, as it his made a wrong impression in retard to Mr Billings's 1 appointments. We presume Mr. Burgess Jenkins has the largest nrea plauled in oats of any one in the township, he has 33 acres. These oats m->ke quite n pretty appearance along the M & A. railroad. Master Jomie Ged dings, son of Mr. Jo'/in Geddings, informs us that last week he killed six moccasins and one ground rattle, Jack, of the delightful fairy stories, was called "the Giant Killer" account of his remarkable success m slaying giants, so we j think thai Jon nie Gedding* may rightly r>e i called "Jack the ?Snake Killer." Another of j Privateer's lads. Master Cbarley Compton, sou of Mr. Mason Compton, inform- us that whiie fishing at ihe head of Cain's millpond ! on Saturday, he saw seven snakes. The Rev. J- W. Daniel, of the Sumter ? Methodist Church, WHS announced to preach ! at the Tindal school house yesterday ?fter- j noon. There was a pleasant singing at Mr. W. A. j Ki nu man?s yesterday afternoon . lt bas neen suggested to your correspond? ent thc?: the following statement may be of j benefit to house-keepers, therefore we k'ive it j here One of Privateer's Indies saw i; ? i stated that fresh ligbibread could be cut smoothly with a hot knife. She has follow? ed the plan and it works well. She heats the knife ny putting ic in hot wuter. A remarkably pretty railrod crossing is the one at Sammy Swamp, on the M. & A. railroad, in this township. The green swamp and remarkaoly clear waters of this stream together make up a picture that is well worthy of a painter'sjcanv&3. We love swamp scenery and were especially struck by the pretty appe-trnnce of this mossing. About two months ago ?tbe plan of ship? ping saw dust to Sumter was commenced at the saw mill of Messrs. Bradbam & Cole, on the Wilsou & Summerton railroad, in ibis township. Several car loads have been ship? ped. The saw dust thus shipped is used for fuel. We may also remark that nothing but saw dust is used for firing at this mill. A while back, we are informed, a Priva? teer hen laid an egg which was three and a half inches long and five inches round. It^ had two yolks in it. We have sometimes wished that some ne? groes could go on the stage and talk in pub? lic as thev have talked to us and we have heard them talk to each other; if they could do sc, they would certainly draw crowds. We have heard a full blooded negro man of this township relate to others of his race an account of his experience during the great earthquake of 1886, and he did it with an eloquence and humor that made his account interesting and very amusing. Only the other day another full blooded negro man of this towuship was giving us an account of bis former owners. This man WRS a child when emancipation came, but he has a strong iecollection of his former master's kindness to the slaves. He spoke to us with earnest? ness about that kindness, and it is safe to say that be will always hold his old master's | memory in veneration. If some negroes like this could go on the Northern staye, thev would not only open the eyes of the Northern people, but they would do more to aid in giving a correct view of the bright side of negro slavery as it existed in the South, than any work which a Southern white could write.

KILLED AT WEDGEFIELD. A Negro Boy Blows Out His Own Brains. Wedgefield, S C., April 19, 1898. A very horrible ?nd most unfortunate af f?ir tooK place one mile west of Wedgefield on yesterday aoout 5 o'clock p. m., in which Peter Robertson, colored, a lad at-out 15 years of aye, shot himself accidentally, the wound proving fatal immediately. Charlie DuPont, a son of Capt. J. H. DuPont, about 17 years of age, Was near by and the first to get to the unfortunate victim. He immedi ately called Paul White, a negro man plow? ing very near, to come there at ooce, as Peter had shot himself. They found that he wdS dead and came immediately to Wedge? field and Capt. DuPout telegraphed tor Coro? ner Commmder, who came over on the 9 p. m. tram. Peter Robertson worked for Capt. DuPont and he and Charlie had been hunting a rab? bit that Paul White had told them was near them on a very thick hiil side. They, how? ever, bad, it seemed, quit buming the rabbit and were picking shrubs when the Peter's gun was discharged. From tbe character of the wound the gun must have necessarily neen parallel with his body, as some shot passed through a handkerchief he bad tied arouud bis neck, the side ot neck behind lett ear for about three inches was ourned with powder, nt the end of which and in a dirpct line the whole load entered the skull into the brain, making a wound 3| ioches long and one inch wide, through which the brain substance was discharged. Some shot lodged i.n the top of br?in near the skull, which was broken on the top of the head The right hemisphere of br?in was not touched, which proves beyond the slightest shadow of a doubt that the gue fired while parallel with the deceased, with muzzle very near the neck, for the one and only wound, pawder burn .ind all were in n direct line and from the condition of the brain and top ot the skull on the left side iber? was nut one con? clusion that, could be reached-a.l that we have mentioned und more were found out oniy ?fier ? careful Anatomical examination of the parts' The verdict arrived at by the jury in a very few moments was that de? ceased c ime to his death at bis own hand. All of this comtnunity regrets the sad occur renee beyond expression and it should teach every one to be very careful with guns. Logan Notes. Logan, S. C., Ap-ii 20, 1396. It has been sometime rince you have ?leard any thing from this section Weil, our long delay in writing is simply this, that we live in the most out of the way part of Sumter County, or at least, thar is my belief. 1 will tell you hu., we are situated : we ?ive be? tween two purdie roads, each one a mile from us. So you see, Mr. Editor, that we cannot furnish much news of importance, and I think that while our delegated lawmakers were making a ?aw to pay a man ten cents per bale for every baie of cotton weighed in Sumter, that some of them should have made a law to give ns public road so we could get out of this country, and then perhaps we 'touid have been able to pay ten cents to have our cotton weighed. Vost of our farmers are through planting cotton, and some have cotton up. Corn and oats are looking wei!, considering the dry weather. We need a good rain, and then we can go to work i--> full. Rev.
