The examination is no child's pla; as will be shown by the fact th nearly thirty percent of the app] cants are turned down, and of tl five companies examined, not one hi - retained sufficient men to be muste ed intoeervice. In order to give some idea of tl rigid manner in which the examini tion are carried on, the results tnt far are given : The Abbeville Toulnteers arrive in camp with 98 men The doctoi accepted 72 and rejected 28. The Richland Volunteers presente 82 meo for examination Of tbi amount 52 were received and 30 wer rejected: The Lee Light Infantry presente 89 men. Of this number 53 wer accepted and 36 rejected.

So much for aspiring genius || It was Henry Ward Beecher wh< said : "If cleanliness is next ti godlines then soap must be a measi ' of grace" Lt Col James H. Till ,man in charge of the Fair grouudi camp, has gone even further than th< ll) eminent Brooklyn divine The col onel concurs fully with Mr. Beeche; as far as Mr Beecher goes, but hi goes much further Col Tillman thinki that in a military camp water and th? supervision of a captain should bi added in order to proenre cleanli ness He bas. therefore, orderec that to morrow each of his eigh hundred men shall be provided wit! soap and towels and each, under the supervision of his captain., shall hie himself to one of the receotly erect ed shower baths and get next tc godliness This camp of Col. Tillman's, while the younger, is by far the leading one. Everything goes off with clock like regularity already. Revile is sounded at 6 o'clock and from then on to taps at 9 o'clock every man has something to do The first word yesterday was tc clean ap the camp. This being done the men were given a hearty breakfast and allowed a short while in which to lounge and smoke It was at this state of the game that the ex pee ta tions of those who thought they were on a picnic were crushed completely A long trench bad to be dug in the rear of building No. 2 Tbe trench was laid off 50 feet long, three deep and three wide Betacb merits from each company were call? ed for and the men put to work in the trench The balance of the camp was pnt in the drill and ail hands were busy uutil 12 oclock, when the men were given time to rest before dinner The rain saved further work immediately after noon, but just be fore dark a dress, or rather undress, parade was held-the first of the Caro? lina volunteers The following order was published at the parade: 9 GENERAL ORDER NO. 1 Headquarters South Carolina Volun jeers at the Fair Grounds, Colutn bia, S C I.

Tillman, Lieut Col Commanding Official : J. H Hardin, Jr., Adjutant. YESTERDAYS5 TELEGEIHS. Hong Kong. May 10.-The latest intelligence from Manila is to the effect that the insurgents have mas? sacred Admiral Montego and his entire escort. The insurgents, who have been the recipients of the most rentless cruelty and butchery at the bands of the Spanish are killing the Spanish inhabitants without mercy. The City of Manila is in a state of wild panic and the nominal authori? ties are powerless to do anything to protect the helpless people The Spanish have refused to surrender the city to Admiral Dewey, aud they are responsible for the condition pre? vailing in the City of Manila and surrounding country. Washington, May 10 -Gen. Miles and sta?* will leave to night for Tam? pa. A conference was held to day with Cuban generals in reference to the. plans for the campaign of the American army in Cuba Washington, May 10.-General Miles stE ted to-day that 60,000 eoldiers would be thrown into Cuba as soon as possible The invading army wilj be composed of regulars and volunteers. Chick am au ga, May 10.-All of the regular troops still stationed here have been ordered to go at once to "Tampa and New Orleans, from which point they will proceed to Cuba. Madrid, May 10.-The grave fears are expressed by well informed pub? lic officials that the ministry cannot retain^power many days longer. A crisis is at hand and the present min rstry is sure to be swept out of office The dynasty may go down with the ministry. The situation is extreme? ly critical considered from any point of view, and the next few days or hours may be big with momentous happenings. ' The government warehouses were bur oed :his morning by an infuriated mob London, May 10 -The latest news rece i red from Spain is to the effect that nearly every Spanish city has been placed under martial ?aw, to suppress rioting and demonstrations against the government. ? H ? ll -I - Resting on Our Arms. The painful tension under which the American mind labors to-day exceeds any similar experience since Congress was in the act of balloting upon the Cuban resolutions. We are prepared to dispatch to Commodore Dewey at the Pfaili Dpi oes supplies and reinforcements in any measure that he may suggest ; yet to the abseooe of his momentarily expected report we rest in otter ignor? ance of bis needs, and must pause We are prepared to throw into Cuba any cumber of soldiers, regular and volunteer, that expert knowledge of :be 'situation on the island may dicate; yet until tbe mists surrounding the naval situation are lifted somewhat these troops must rest in readiness open our our ono shores. Our splendid flaet of fighting ships, superbly manned and officered, is prepared to strike the enemy on tba sea as soon as that enemy appears within our reach ; yet wc must be patient until our naval grey hounds bring tidings of the Spaniard. Patieooe was the watohword a fort? night ago. Patieooe and preparedness combine to await the issue to-day. Back from our shores rests a great re? serve army, encamped and ready for any emergency Back of this rests another but uneocamped army, a mil? lion strong if neceesjary, waiting to to answer any call that unexpected ad? versity may make. The Naiiun'a eye and ear are bent toward Porto Rion, as the poiot from the neighborhood of which is likely to to come the eigoal that shall f et our forces in active motion If tbe Span? ish squadron bas. ns rumored, returned East to join the second squadron pre? paring at Cadiz, another tortoigh: will probably elapse before the great sea hattie is fought If it is bound west? ward, three days at most should witness the opeoicg of that fierce encounter. Io tbe absence of a Spanish appear? ance in force at one side cr the other of the Atlantic, speculation is vain. We can only be patient, knowing we are prepared, and with abiding confidence in the demonstrated wisdom of the administration and io the gallant men who eommaod dur land and sea forset.-N. Y. Mail and Expr?s?. SUMTEB BOYS IN CAMP. FIRST DAY IN CAMP-MAY 5. Fair Grouods Cts.mp, Columbia, S. C., Maj 5 -We arrived after a delightful trip, and after marchin ar up Main Street to toe Post Office, took tba i rolly cara to the fair grounds, where we ?vere given a cool and pleasant upstairs bali, and all the Coys feel their best. Many complimentary remarks on our ap pearance as compared with other companies greeted us all through the day, and there pre? vails the most complete good feeling io all the company The commanding officers are genial gentlemen end they have lost no op? portunity TO perform every courtesy. Our company officers are getting into their ac? quaintance aod every prospect is pleasiog. Our men are well provided with camp ne? cessities and (but for the occasional return of the memory to thc parting scene in Sumter this morning) there is no sad eye io the camp. Rumor is spreading among us that we will go to one of the camp3 of the larger size, likely Richmond, a3 soon as South Carolina's quota bas been fully organ? ized. Our examinations take place to-morrow nod we will .need a few additional men to replace any who ara rejected ; twenty-five men were cut oat o ' one company in this way to day. Sergeant Graham Moses and Privates E 0. Ingram and H. L Dickson, of the Abbeville Company, were visitors and very welcome ones, this afternoon. Our location is said by them to be far su? perior to any other io Columbia aod congrat? ulations are ours in all respects. We have been refused leave of absence until to-morrow and we cannot go up to the city, but we have not bees at all put out by that Everything is lovely and the goose bangs high. DBLBSSSPS. SECOND DAY IN CAMP-MAY 6. Tbe day is passing pleasantly enough. Some drilling, some guard duty, ?c. Our company has coade a special impres? sion and we are offered recraits from other companies. We have taken Alex. Talley, of Colombia. W. N. White came from Sumter to-day to join os aud Leo. McCillom and Sandford Jennings will be here to-morrow. It seems we will remain here for the present and drill. Tbe best spirits prevail. We have nice new mattresses, blankets, &c, and the food is quite good, though of course not fancy. Some fellows who were somewhat unac? quainted among us are making friends every -day as tbey^get to be better known and ap? preciated. All who have not been very re? cently vaccinated are vaccinated here, aod every precaution is being taken for our health and comfort x We have three negroes along with us and one ?J a barber. The higher officers grow io popularity and will be bard to bead politically with the men of tbis brigade after we return, if we do. Tbe restraint is becoming a matter of course, and not withoat its pleasures, and if any one at borne wasts to be beloved of os all, send some papers and current magazines. Douglas China bas a eeo recommended by us for Hospital Steward, and with Dr. Mood as Surgeon we will ne t feel like strangers if we get sick. A postoffice will ba famished this camp to-morrow, and stamps and stationery caa oe obtained there. Cel. Lee is working like a trojan at home in tbe company's interest and our Captain thanks bim, and will write as soon as possi? ble. Our officers (company) are studying hard and will be well prepared for the examination when they go before the board. A shower cooled o!F the atmosphere-and the sentries also-about dinner time (2 o'clock). Almost all the boys are now writing home, an occupation wbicb generally affects them by making tbem quiet and thoughtful for some? time afterwards. Tbere seems no possibility that any dissen? sion or unpleasantness will occur among us. We do not amuse ourselves with cards or otber gamoling games. We have bad many welcome visitors to? day. C s LESSEPS. THIRD DAY IN CAMP-MAY 7. Tbe discipline enforced is getting more rigid every day, but by such gentle growth that it creates but slight friction. The first retreat was souoded yesterday afternoon by all the drummers io concert and general orders published (as you have seen in the morning papers ) It was tbe first time in the experience of many and will be long remembered. Of course all the man are as green as gourds, and many are physically nnequal tb tbe situation. About 20 per cent of tbis company will be rejected. And bence after tbis process the appearance of the battalioa will be much improved. A large recruiting party came over from Somter to-day. I suppose you have neted the names io your paper. Oar company received a graceful compli? ment to-day, but one which causad a feeling of sorrow to pervade tie camp, wheo another company offered our 2c! Sergeant, Fisbbnrne, a 2d Lieutenancy if be would come to them. He bas the matter under consideration. If be goes be will likely bc succeeded by Private Dixon, whose capacities io tbe matters of tactics are becoming felt among tbe men. Our determination to be tbe best 'drilled company bere will have the effect of bringing up the men of skill with great promptness. It is rumored that Jules Martin arrested Gov. Ellerbe yesterday as be was crossing a line of guard and held his prisoner until Lieutenant Colonel Tillman saw and released him, commending Jules for bis firmnes3. Jolee declares he would stop McKinley if be came over bis p03t. I will report any sickness or mishap, and until something of that sort occurs, I will cot continue to state the negative. Spirits are still high here and tbe boys are glad to welcome ali genteel recruits. FOURTH DAY IN CAMP-MAY 8 The compaoy extends general thanks to tbe Herald for copies of last issue, sent to all. We are always appreciative of thoughtfulness and especially of that ?-.ind which contributes to our pleasure. Our boys have been delighted to-day by visits from a number of borne folk, among tbe number being Capt. E. Scott Carson, Mr. Perry Mos**, Editor Miller of the Freeman, and Sam Talley, Among the recruits to-day is "Bogus" Jones, of Providence. He is a good man, able-bodied and healthy. We have a eqcad of boys at the Catholic Church to-day. Next Sunday it will be some other church Everyday the company gets better accus? tomed to duty and discipline, and ar? im? proving rapidly under it. Nevertheless the irrepressible Sumter kid tums up now and then in some amusing incident For exam? ple: Two boys determi^i'd to get out but can't get passeB. They t ut on a bold front and pass a sentry. Halt ! cries the sentry. The boys eye each other, motionless, sudden? ly thc quietest of the t?vain makes a bold d?? termination and cries in a loud voice to thc soo try, "Salute your Colonel, sir!'' The green sentry takes off his hat, bows low to the ground, turns elf and continues his march, and the boys pas? out. How is that for Johnnie Epperson. Tbe funniest kind of thiogs are to be ob? served here. I wish I could write them up in tbe way they deserve to be bandied Count off by fours I shouts little Geo. Anderson, bis lips fairly tremble with suppressed power. Ooe, two, three, foar, carre rapidly enough, tally I cries the nut tnz,o. The General hangs his bead in shame. Capt. Carson escorted bis sis*?r, Mips Mat? tie, over the grounds to-day. She was wel? comed by all the boys in tte company From the deep wells of our hearts we delight in the sight ot' those "we left behind os." Your statement that Mr. E I. Ryttenberg bad come over and eu listed was a mistake. But be did come over here. We have tbe be3t drummer in the camp among other best tbing9. Our eliminations are expected early next weeli. Sixth Day ic Camp, May IO-Exam? inations B?gun The most pleasant statement I can make is that Sergt. Fishburoe has beeu appointed Sergeant Major of the ftat'.alion on Major Thompson's steff. Merit will tell. Tbis office is a kind of military chief clerkship. It makes tbe next rank to lieutenant, and is the only sargencr entitled to' wear a sword in the battalion. Examinations begun to-day. Sergeant Winn rejected on weight. Corporals Elisha Carson, Sam Reid, Louis Williamson, J. D. Epperson, M. A. Straus.'!, A. Burgess and Joe Warren were rejscted for various techni? cal reasons, such as weight, sight, height, etc. Privates Mack Atkin?, Dug China, Jack Barwick, Robt. Bradford, T. K. Flowers, R. C. Huggins, Geo. Dickson, Edward Hayns? worth, M. L. Jenkins, Jules Martin, Sanford Jenuiogs, Paul Kennedy and W. Conrad Folk all rejected on like grounds. Tbe examina? tion got no further on tbe alphabetical order than M. Slightly over half the company have been examined, and of these 21 rejec? tions. A new trial of sight will be given some to-morrow. The rules are not very harsh, but such as they ar* tbe Hoe is adhered to inflexibly . Thirty-three were passed under complimen? tary comments by the officers. I Great excitement exists among the boys oo the sublet of rejections and acceptances. Bot all are anxious to see the full qa ota made up, and we will likely need 30 recruits at'an early day. The requirements in brief are: weight 2 lbs to each inch of height, good sight iu both eyes, chest measurement 32 inches minimum, and there must be entire freedom from chronic diseases such as impair the human organism seriously. The army desires to have as smail a hospital as possible. Recruits are not desired in the hospital at all. Some of our men are being neglected at home in the matter of letters. Write all your boys from home. They are deserviag of so much I fee! certain. Maj. Marion Moise sent os. some inspiring papers from home with inspiring pictures of the war in the East on toe high seas. .We get no great number of such attentions and they are greatly appreciated. Tbe table fare is not as good now as it was at first, and we are getting to expect^a little package of home fare cow, so seod the boys a box, and bear the fact in mind that at the very earliest day we are expecting to go to Florida to make ready for Cuba. The'post of honor in the South Carolina quota is unquestionably coe battalion of In? fantry which will go to active service, the re? maining Regiment and the Artillery are for home duty. Lieutenant Brainerd Wilson goes to Sum? ter to-morrow morning to recruit, and will carry another member of the Company with him to assist. So if you want Sumter to be at the first siege of El Moro or the Havana campaign, rush in all the assistance possible to these officers. Discipline is slowly gaining ground ; loose habits are being abandoned-per force-so? briety has developed io most surprising places and the value of tb?9 teste of military life will be hard to compute in cold cish. The regi? mental officers are still gaining apon tbe hearts of their men by toe greatest courtesy and leniency, and the mea still get moro and more enthused with the military spirit. Tbe first band of mu dc was heard here to-day at 5 o'clock, when all tbe volunteers were marched over to thc graves of the Con? federate dead, to join io the ceremonies and reverential rites which ibe loving hearts of our women have established and made beau? tiful by their tender solicitations and sweet though earnest perfora ance. A curious spectacle indeed to see two thousand living men entering into a war with a most valiant nation of fighting mer, uncovered at tbe graves of two thousand of their fathers who "foremost fighting, fell.'* More Volunteers. Tbe following yoong men went to Colum? bia Saturday morning to enlist in the Sumter Lieht Infantry : Peter Thomas, Jr. M. L. Harvin. M. A Harvin. L. B. McCallum. L. S. Jennings. T. J. Doby. S. B. Jonts. ti. C Huggins. Angus McLeod. M. L. Jenkins. W. N. White. Four more recruits weat over to Columbia Monday morning to join tbe Sumter Light Infantry, They were A. P Hinsoo, Douglas Jennings, Warren Owry and-Mc Gee. Messrs. W. Conrad Folk, J. E. Marshall, - Bruce and - Weaver went to Columbia yesterday to join the Sumter Light In? fantry. Eight others were to go to Columbia tbis miming. Tbe Sumter Light Infantry will have an enlistment of 108 when these last recurit8 reach Columbia, but it is feared that so many will be rejected that the company will fail below the required quota of men and additional recruits will have to be ob? tained be/ore the company can be mustered into service. At least a dozen sound and able bodied young men may be needed to fill the ranks of the Sumter Lipbt Infantry, and tecruits wili be welcomed by officers and men. This company "baa been selected to be one of the four in the independent battalion to be commanded by Maj Henry T. Thomp? son, and it is set tied that this battalion will be sent at once to Chick imauea, and thence to Cuba in all probability The only t'iing thu will prevent the Sumter company seeing active service in the near future is a failure to recruit a full company this week. American's Greatest medicine is Hood's Sarsaparilla, which accomplishes wonderful cures of blood diseases wheo all other medi? cines fail to do any good whatever Hood's Pills are the best family cathartic and liver tonic. Gentle, reliable, sure. DIABOLIC CRUELTY. Inhuman Mother Tortures a Child With Bedhot Irons. Clander Davie, a negro women of tbe Maytsville section, bas been committed to j*il charged with committing a crime that is not punishable with death, but she richly merits banging if ever a cruel wretch did. The warrant under which she was ar? rested charges ber with cruelty ta a child. The commitment was made ont by Magistrate Bradley, of Mayesville The facts brought to light at the prelimi? nary hearing revealed the borribie details of the diabolic fiendish cess of ihe woman. For seme disobedience she punished ber eleven year-old daughter by searing ber body with a redhot iron. The eirl was stripped, laid ont oo the floor on ber back, and ber mother, dander Davis, seared her body with an iron poker which cad bees heated redhot. Her body was fearfully burned and ber throat was marked with long burns where tbe poker WHS drawn ?cross it. Tbe woman's bnsbaad is believed to have been a participant in the torture of tbe child, but be bas not been ar? rested. Unusual Phenomenon Near St. Charles. The water in a well near this place is in a state of commotion unusual and, so far unac? countable. This well has been behaving itself with due decorum, placidity and de? cency, as becomes a quiet country well, until within the past week or more when this coa? lition commenced, and it bas been continaous since. The water boils as though a bold jet was being propelled from underneath, caus? ing tbe surface to rise and roll unceasingly ; more particularly on one aide. Several feet distant can be beard the sound of this sub? terranean turbulence emitted with regular irregularity in a mildly explosive manner. Ou placiog tbe ear over the weil this hollow sounding chug, chug, chug is accompanied by a ceaseless soft and gentle swish, as when sand is poured upon sand The water is seven feet deep and ten feet from earth's sur? face, is limpid and of normal temperature. Tbe formation is red clay with a substratum of rock, as evinced by the substaoce lying around and taken from the bottom, and tbe statement of the man who deepened and cleaned the well last summer, and who says be went through two strata of rock, and on breaking tbro' tbe last one struck a bold stream. The location is in a very flat section with no ponds or lyiog water near. Tbe vol? ?me of water remains at one elevation, nei? ther rising or falling. Tbere is no apparent outlet. We, tentatively, threw ia several lighted matches. There is no gas, thank the Lord. We don't need any on the surface here.. Each indivrduual of us can manufac? ture bis own gas in much abundance. Some one give us some solution of our "well spring from" below. Any one is welcome to come and see it, and should you solve it we'll say well done. We wish you well. Farewell. GUT. P. S. Sioce writing above we hear there ?9 another boiling well, situated in 4'Brown town/' near Bisbopville. Hurrah for Lee County 1 Two men, traveling in Arkausaw, halted near some spring. While one "hitched out" t'other weat for water. He dipped his bucket full, hastily threw it out, and speeding op bill yelled to his mate, "bitch up and le's git away from here quick. Daroed if hell's half a mile from this place." G. St. Charles, May 5, 1898. Pisgah Dots. It looks as if winter will stay with as a long.time this year. The frait trees are sbed diog the yoong fruit fast and it looks as if very little will remain. There seems to be,a blight on tbe apple trees. They look sick, sick like some folks do, who fear they will have to see the goos flash. Tbere will be bot few apples in this section. Tbe crops generally feel the effect of the [ cold, but a little medicine in the shape of warm weather, will core them. Yet with it all, we are going along in the even tenor of our way, hoping that all tbiogs will turn out for the best. 1 Mrs. J. Walter Kenny is still very sick, her many friends hope she will soon be restored to health. Dysentery of a mild type is prevailing to some extent. With this exception the health of our section is very good It is war, war, war, here. Geography is much studied to see where this or that place is, all boping that our couotry will sooa tri? umph. It is a source of congratulation, that our county bas furnished so promptly a company of fine young men. Let us hope they will imitate the grand men of the past. We can wish them nothing better. If they can do th is they will have a record more priceless than gold or silver. AU this reminds os of the time wheo tbe starry cross floated over tbis beaotiful land, which was bathed in the blood of the finest men of the South, and it went down in a blaze of glory never to rise again, honored thrice honored.
