follow ing particulars of the fighting
sear Malate on the night of July 31
Gen. Green's force, numbering
4,000 meo, had been' advancing and
entren ching. The arrival of the third
expedition filled the Spaniards with
rage and they determined to give bat?
tle before Camp Dewey could bs rein?
forced. The trenches extended from
toe beach 300 yards to the left flank
. of the insurgents. Sunday was the
insurgent feast day and their left flank
withdrew, leaving the American right
flank exposed.
Companies A and E of the Tenth
Pennsylvania and Utah battery were
ordered to enforce the right flank
In the midst of a raging typhoon with
a tremendous downpour of rain the
enemy's forces, estimated at 3,000
men, attempted to surprise the camp
Our pickets were driven io and the
trenches assaulted.
The brave Penn sj i van ia men never
flinched, bot stood their ground un?
der a witheriog fire. The alarm
spread and the First California regi?
ment, with two companies cf the
Third artillery, who fooght with rifles,
were seat up to reinforce the Penn?
sylvanians. The enemy were on top
of the trenches when these reinforce?
ments arrived, and never wa? the dis?
cipline of the regulars better demoo
srrated than by the work of the Third
anilleiy onder Capt O'Hara Noth?
ing could be seen but flashes of Mau?
ser rifles
M sn ran right up to the attacking
Spaniards and mowed them down
with regular volleys.
The Utah battery, auder Capt
Young, covered itself with glory
The men pulled their guns through
mud axle deep Two guns were sent
around in flank and poured in a de
structive enfilading fire. The enemy
was repulsed and retreated in disor
der Oar infantry had exhausted its
ammunition and did not follow the
enemy.
Not an inch of ground was lost,
but the scene in the trenches was one
never to be forgotten.
Daring flashes of lightning the
dead and woaoded coald be seen
jyiDg in blood red water, but neither
the elements of beaven nor the de?
structive power of man could wring
a cry of protest from the wounded
They encouraged their comrades to
fight, and handed over their cartridge
belts
During the night the Spanish
secuta were seen carrying off dead
and wounded of the enemy.
The American dead were buried j
next day in the convent of Maraca j
ban On the night of August Ist |
the fighting v-as renewed, but the j
enemy had been taught a lesson and
made the attack at long range with !
heavy artiller}'. The Utah battery [
replied and the artillery duel lasted
tn hour.
One man was killed He was Pied ;
Springster, First Colorado, and two j
men were wounded
On the night of August 2d the ar
i?iery duel was renewed.
Two men were badly wounded and .
are this morning reported dead, I
bringing the total dead to 13, with j
110 ic the hospital mortally wounded.
Gen. Green issued this address to
the troops :
"Camp Dewey, Near Manila.

Engineer Johnson's Death.
What is Said of the Hero of
the Cab at His Adopted
Home.
Speciil to The State.
Florence, August 6 -A brief tele
gram was received here early this
morning announcing the death of
Willis P. Johnson in Columbia
This intelligence carried sorrow to
the hearts of every citizen in out
city, for this was his home, and he
was beloved by all who knew him.
It will be remembered that Willis
Johnson was the brave engineer who
held the throttle on train No 52 on
the Atlantic Coast Line, which was
recently wrecked at Hampton's Mill
Pond.
When the wheels first left the rails
the train was running at a speed of
50 miles an hour, and if Mr. Johnson
hadNfoiiowed the example of his fire?
man aud jumped from his engine, be
would doubtless be alive to day, and
the 41 passengers on the train woold
have been dashed to death in the
fearful crash that must have followed.
But he was not made of that kind
of stuff Without a thought for his
own safety, and realizing the respon?
sibility of the lives of bis passengers
he manfully stuck to his post, shut
off the throttle valve, threw the re
verse lever back to the furthest notch
and clutched the air-brake valve han?
dle in his left hand, instantly turning
it to emergency, and thus in 1,400
feet reduced the speed of the train
to such a degree that when the en?
gine did go down the embankment,
carrying the entire train with it and
turning the coaches over, not a sin?
gle passenger was seriously h ".rt- i
not a bone broken-but poor Mr.
Johnson went down beneath his en- J
gine with his hand etil I on the throt
tie and was fearfully scalded by both j
steam and water.
Before help could reach him he j
crawled through a crack and dragged j
himself up the embankment and aat I
down on a cross tie, calm and col
lected
He was placed in the hospital at j
Columbia and every attention known j
to medical science was given, but it j
was of no avail ; his burns were r.oo j
serious, and after suffering untold !
agony for nearly two weeks, death ;
relieved him of his sufferings
The deeds of heroism on the bat?
tlefield pale into insignificance when
compared to this. He gave bis life
to save others.

Carolina Section.
For tils Week Ending Monday,
August 8, 1898.
COLUMBIA, S C., August 9
The week ending August 8th was
slightly warmer than usual, but the
departures from the normal were not
excessive a:id averaged about one de?
gree per day. The maximum tem?
peratures ranged between 84 and 98
degrees, the latter occurred at Spar
tanburg on the 5th ; the minimum
temperature ranged from 76 to 80 de?
grees along the southern coast, to an
extreme minimum of 66 degrees on
the 5th at Greenville. The average
temperature; for the week was 81, and
the normal is about 80 degrees.
PRECIPITATION.
The rainfall for the week was heav?
iest over the extreme northwestern
counties with from one to over five
inches in Oconee, Pickens and Green?
ville ; heavy showers also occurred
from Orangeburg county southward
and eastward to the coast, over this
region the rainfall was not so evenly
distributed, but of almost daily oc?
currence ; over the central belt of
counties ar d the Pee Dee section the
showers were ot limited extent and
irregular distribution, although few
places, if any, but that had some rain
during the week . The average rain?
fall for the State, for the week, was
1 49 inches and the normal for the
same period is approximately 1 46
inches. The following heavy meas?
urements were reported : Loopers
5.75, Riverview 7 50? Sandy Flat
2.88, Walhalla 2.67, Liberty 2 25,
Salters 3 75, Pinopolis 3 16, Oakland
3 00, Jeffries Creek 2 50, St Georges
(Harper) 6 25, Gillisonviile 2.97
inches Fourteen places reparted
from 1 to 2 inches, and 25 places lees
than an inch, A heavy rain in the
vicinity of Ramsay subcaerged a great
deal of lowland corn and cotton.
SUNSHINE AND WINDS
Over the northwestern and southeast
era counties, sunshine was deficient
with from 35 to 55 per cent, of the
possible, but over the remainder of
the State about normal duration of
sunshine prevailed.
A severe wind and rain storm pass?
ed over Oconee, Pickens and portions
of Greenville counties on August 4th,
felling forest trees, blowing down
corn, tang ing cotton and destroying
fruit.
CONDITION OF CROPS.
The temperature conditions were
favorable for crop development during
the week, aod over the central belt of
couoties, from the Georgia to the
North Carclina borders, sunshine aod
rainfall were also favorable factors,
but elsewhere there were many aod
extensive areas where the rainfall was
excessive aod sunshine deficient, con?
dition'; tba, had a deteriorating effect
on the staple crops, particularly cotton.
Reports from York, Spartanburg,
Uoioo, Abbeville, Anderson, Richland
and from Marlboro and Marion coon
ties, and less extended areas in many
other counties indicate that the corn and
cotton crops are very promising, as
are all the minor food and forage crops,
but these conditions are not uniform
over tbe State, and arc not tbe pre?
vailing oms for corn, while cotton,
cane, pear:, sweet potatoes, tobacco
and rice are makiDg satisfactory growth
and development. Crops are practi?
cally ail la ped by, but generally ia a
very grassy oondition, however, with
numerous reports of clean, well culti?
vated field;.
The condition of corn s?ems lo lack
uniformity, with many fields where a
large yield is assured, but during the
week mucb lowlaod corn was damaged
by heavy rains Ears as a rule aro
well filled ind matured Young corn
is ''firing" on light soils, while much
stubble corn was injured by excessive
rain.
Fodder pulling has progressed rapid?
ly, and is tinder way over the pastern
and centra! counties ; some fodder lost !
by frequend rains in Berkley aod j
Barnwell counties In York and
Siluda counties the corn crop is report*
ed extra fine
In localities where little or no rain
feb, and where normal amount of sao- I
shine prevailed, ootton made seasonal :
improvement in fruitage and bas put on j
a large Joly crop, bat there is com?
plaint of rast and shedding iocreasiog
? rapidly, particularly from Dorchester,
Beaufort, Orangebarg, Lsxiogtoo,
I Barnwell, Oolleton, Sumter, Williame?
burg and Chesterfield counties ; snob
reports are not confined to those coun?
ties but, with a few exceptions, ioclude
portions of every county it thc State.
In Abbeville a great deal of cotton
has been practically abandoned on ac?
count of grass. Cotton is turBiog
yellow, or red, on certain light soils,
where growth has stopped, and is
6caIdiDg or firing in P?eseos. It was
injured by rain in Newberry.
Boils are opening slowly, and are
needing dry weather and sunshine.
Sea Islaad cotton is in splendid con?
dition and clean of grass aod weeds ;
is blooming extremely, with some little
fruitage, but sunshine greatly needed.
Tobacco catting aod caring is near?
ing completion in Florenoe and Wil?
liamsburg counties and is well ad?
vanced elsewhere, with a continuation
of favorable reports from all tobacco
districts.
With the exception of too wet for
rice on bottom lands in Bamberg coun?
ty, this crop continues to look promis?
ing. It is heading in the earliest, or
coast districts, and with favorable
weather, harvestiog will soon begin.
Grass for hay has attained a heavy
growth. Cutting costinues in Charles?
ton county, but has not generally be?
gun in Williamsburg.
Sugar cane aod sorghum are reported
very fioe. Sugar making will begin
this week. The condition of oane is
above an average over the eotire State.
S?*eet potatoes look very promising,
as do field peas and peanuts. Some
peavine hay has been made.
Pastures continue to afford exolleot
grazing.
Irish potatoes, turnips and beans he?
lor planted, and winter cabbages and
strawberries set out io the coast truck
regions under very favorable condi?
tions.
Ic some of the western counties
there is a glut of watermelons, where
also peaohes continue plentiful, but
there is a s<*?.roity of apples and pears.

tells of the history of Sander's family ; that
some of the childreo are by his first wife and
others are by his second wife, and tbat the
first wife died bet?re he began to sell Hire's

The letter goes on to say, "Look at me aod
my family, three children, Root Beer did it."
Duriog the busy hours of the day people stop
io front of the window and read the letter;
towards eveoine they bring others to read it.
It says, ,;Root Beer are a porifyer. It doz

so small that many were denied the privilege
of attending because of lack of room. Much
