Tbe following is tbe latest accoont of the
Lyncbburg shooting scrape as told by an
eye witness :
Simon Cooper drove into town cutting
quite a figure witb bis pair. One Nelson said
to him : "It looks as if'you would drive over
me." Simon said, "I juet as leaTe as not,"
when this negro said :
"D?- you, if you do, I will kill you, you
Simon cursed him and both refused to take
back wh&t they bad said.
Nelson started for Simon, who a'dvanced
to meet him. Kelson then pulled his pistol
and Simon pulled his, when some one stepped
up behind him and took it away from him.
Nelson then shot at Simon but missed him.
Simon pulled bis knife and told Sam Thomas,
who had his pistol, "if you don't give me my
pistol I will kill you." Thomas said, "Here
is your pisto!, 1 don't want it."
S mon tien took it and started to shoot
Nelson, when others took a hand in the fra
cas, ?11 shooting at Simon.
Simon emptied bis revolver, aod then ran
urd*i toe R. R.V.idge to reload. After re
loading he came out and coolly and delibe
rately took Him and begai. to shoot, making
every shot tell. He did no promiscuous
shooting, but only shot at those who shot at
him. Ooe killed and oos dying from
wouocs.

Gen. E W. Moise, who responded to the
toast "South Carolina." A repr?sentative
, of The Ne.ws and' Conner was present and
responded to "The Press." From the re
port of the meeting published in the Sunday
News, the following is taken : ,
'South Carolina" brought out Surater's
favorite son, Gen. E. W. Moise, who has
delighted so many convivial gatherings with
his soul-s'irring addresses, abounding in
beauty and brilliancy. Carolina bas often
called upon Gen. Moise and always found
him ready to respond. He has ever been
found in th* path of patriotic duty. Around
the brow of his beloved State he has not
only entwioed roses of the choicest rhetoric,
but has also lovingly placed there the leurels
which be won fighting in tbe hallowed cause
she was tbe earliest to espouse. Bis response
was eloquent in the extreme, worthy of tbe
subject, or rather the sovereign State, be so
fondly represented."

"Colored" J. W. Brown, the former ex
press.driver, who ^graduated de book" with

for some days, having "returned back from
Bucksley County." His many friends, he
says, want to koow how his prosperity is
gettiog on and what place he will reconeoize
this year, so be called on the Item office to
have the matter arrested. Bucksley County
and worry of mind overseeing a big planta
shion at Moncks Corner delayed his health so
extensively that he cannot return back to the
same profession twice ; consequently he
have recuperated a higher place to denote and
oversee a olne mule plantashnn at Stateburg,
wbere be will bave pleasan, acquaintance
and more general health Jack abo says
that all his friends wish him a happy and
prosperous new year, which he is proud to
completely return.

A prominent physician waros nervous
people, especially cigarette smokers,
against drinking coca cola in the after
noon. He says that much insomnia
may be traced this decoction. Its
chief ingredient is caffeine and that is
an eye-opener. The same physician

CLEVELAND'S DEAL
WITH CANOYAS.
Proof That He Has Been
Plotting Against Cuba's In
dependence, so Creei
man Says.
Jame.? Creelnian in N. Y. Journal.
Madrid, Dec 31 ?It has taken me
many days to trace out the astound
ing dealings of President Cleveland
and his administration wiih the Span
ish monarchy, bat I am now in a po
sition to give the American public
some light on the subject.
Actual facts show that Cleveland's
offer-' of meditation was simply a
cover under which the American
government secretly proposed to help
Spain to overthrow and suppress the
republic of Cuba and to enforce
peace on that island on terms which
the patriot army would not accept.
Tin's offer was not made in the
form of a written document, trans
mitted through the usual channels,
but for th-i sake of greater secrecy
was conveyed in a verbal statement
made by Secretary 01 ney to the
Spanish minister at Washington, De
Lome, who cabled the whole matter
to Madrid.
The understanding was that if
Cuban leaders refused to lay down
their arms upon conditions of local
self-government to be propose^ to
them by or through the United
States, the whole influence and pow
er of the American government
would be exerted to crush the new
republic
The slightest investigation by con
gress will reveal the truth of this
statement, i have the facts upon un
impeachable authority, but the most
surprising fact in this well-concealed
conspiracy against the Cuban re
public is that in order to help Spain
in her pitiless campaign o? massacre,
Secretary 01 ney has not presented
any of the claims for damages aris
ing out of the destruction of Ameri
can property in the present war.
This seeras almost incredible, but
it is tree Records in Washington
will confirm my statement. These
claims represent millions upon mil
lions of dollars. They are supported
by sworn, and in most cases incon
testible evidence. I know as a fact
that injured citizens, whose interests
are represented by claims, have
supposed that Mr. OIney was doing
everything; in hie power to secure an
indemnity ior their losses The
truth is that, with unimportant ex
ceptions, Mr Olney has simply noti
fied the Spanish government thai
such claims have been filed at Wash
ington. But his view is that Spain
cannot be held responsible for prop
erty destroyed by the insurgent ar
mies.
In other words, Cleveland's ad
ministration declines to recognize
the independence of the Cuban gov
ernment or the belligerency of its
arras, and at the same time calmly
absolves Spain from all impossibility
for the protection of American prop
erty in the island.
There is a spectacle for the edifica
tion of the American people. The
Spanish press and public laugh and
sneer at congress and eulogize the
President and the secretary of state
who secretly plot with the Spanish
minister at Washington agaicet the
brave people struggling for their lib
erty almost within sight of the Amer
ican coast
Thus is explained at last the mys
tery with which Olney has veiled his
trafile with De Lome and the reason
why he has shrunk from a public con
gressional investigation. The shrewd
lawyer, who succeeded, as attorney
general, in protecting the millionaire
trusts from prosecution, has spun a
web of technical argument to bind
the hands of congress.
My investigations in Madrid show
that, notwithstanding Cleveland's
empty expressions of sympathy for
Cuba, he has been their most vigilant
and deliberate enemy. lie has
searched the records for pretexts to
avoid pressing the just claims of
Americans upo'n Spain. At the same
time he has intimated to the mon
archy, through more than one chan
nel, his desire to prevent Cuba from
achieving independence.
If it were not for the fear of indi
cating my high sources of informa
tion, ? could give 6ome startling de
tails At the very time the Ameri
can government, through Cleveland
and Olney, was prostituting its in
fluence to the service of a degene
rate and corrupt despotism, the
Spanish minister of foreign affairs
was plotting with six continental am
bassadors to secuve a joint note from
the European powers dictating the
policy of tbe United States.
But for the prompt awd patriotic ac
tion of our American minister in
Madrid the appeal of Spain to Europe
would have been made These facts,
too, are within the reach of congres
sional investigation
To day Minister Taylor playa no
part in the main diplomatic traneac
tions of the two governments, and
officials of the- Spanish court make
no secret of their gratitude to Cleve
land De Lome has fooled every
body in Washington, and is "play
ing" for delay Meanwhile millions
of dollars worth of American prop
erty is going up in flame anu smoke
and Spanish diplomacy has outgen
eraled the American people. ,
At this moment the purpose of
J Spain seems to be to arrange some
? agreement with Cleveland and Olney
j whicn wi I commit McKinley's ad
j ministsation in advance to an attitude
hostile to Cuba I have been in
j formed that General Weyler has per
miited a subsidized New York news
paper correspondent to make a par
tial trip through the province of
Pinar del Rio, or rather, through
such small portions of the province
as Spaniards are able to hold, 6o that
be may announce that order has beeu
restored in the western end of the
j island and that presently Weyler will
? make a sort of military parade
through the same district
Ail this is intended to deceive con
gress into believing that the treach
eous killing of one Cuban officer has
crushed the Cuban army in Pinar del
Rio. It is said that the mock scheme
of reforms recently enacted by Cano"*
vas will then be proclaimed in that
proviuce
The recognition of the indepndence
of Cuba by congress would end the
struggle between Spain and the new
republic almost immediately 1 have
investigated the question thoroughly
this year in Habana. Washington and
Madrid I know the facts Spain
is.practically penniless Her treas
ury is almost empty, and today her
financial agents are scouting: the
capitals of Europe for money in vain.
She has pawned everything but : cr
great tobacco monopoly, and that
can not be hypothecated, for it is the
sole source from which the govern
ment at home secures th? means of
its support The cortes have given
Canovas the right to pawn even this
monopoly, but he does not dare to do.
it
If congress will act, boldly and
quickly, Spain must bow to the law of
human progress. There may be?
threats of war and even a 'show of
arms, but in the end these displays
will amount to nothing.
The most thoughtful men in Spain
to day know that Cuba is lost to trie
monarchy, and that Cleveland and
Olney are simply prolonging a cruel
and disastrous struggle But for
their pride they would be glad to
see the end come at once. It is im
possible to talk with representative
Spaniards without realizing this fact
Spain has plundered and desolated
Cuba at will. She has tried to legis
late against nature. As I walk
through the streets of Madrid I have
pointed out to me dozens of men who i
have suddenly made fortunes in Cuba.
They have been favored and protect
ed by the court in their enterprises
while deserving Cubans have wasted
their time and money in Madrid in
furitless efforts to secure Cuban con
cessions, which have been freely
granted to government parasites
And now Cleveland and Olney
propose to ask the Cuban patriots in
the hour of their victory, to abandon
their free government, surrender
their arms and trust themselves
again into the hands of Spain. The
Spaniards know that the Cubans will
never give up their republic, unless
the United States coerces them.
Canovas wants delay. It is the na
tional Spanish policy.
Will congress help to complete the
conspiracy against human liberty to
which President Cleveland has lent
his utmost support. Surely the
American people have not forgotton
their own history, nor the never-to
be forgotten part which France play
ed it it at the beginning.
