HAD DIFFICULTY IN GETTING BONDSMEN. Bat Co!. Neal FinalSy Gets Them and is Released. TWO MOSS SERIOUS CHARGES The State. Aug 31. It looked for several hours yester day as if Col. W. A. Neal, the former superintendent of the State ; jpeniteotiary, would not be able to gire his bond, and wcuid have to go to jail before friends from his home could get here to go on his bond. Yesterday morning when 10 ; o'clock, the hour appointed for the -l preliminary came, Col. Neal bad not succeeded in securing bondsmen . Three personal friends that he was i relying upon proved to be away from the city. At this time also warrants sworn out by Attorney General Bel linger in two other cases were served upen him, making three distinct charges preferred against him. The ^original warrant charged him with failure to turn over public funds to his successor. One of the new ones charged him with breach of trust with fradulent intent, and the other with embezzlement of public funds. : The affidavit in the breach of trust ease read as follows : State of South Carolina, County of Bichland. The State vs. William A. Neal. Affidavit Personally appears before me J. M. Smith, a magistrate for and in said county and said State, G. Dun can Bellinger, attorney general, who, cn oath, says that he is informed and believes that on the first day of De cember, 1895, in said State and coun ty, one William A Neal was guilty of a breach of trust with fraudulent intent in this : That, being then and there paid by ene J 8. Fowler the sum of five hundred*dollars for (the use and as on account of the State of South Caro lina, the same being the property of s aid State, upon the special trust and confidence that he the same should safely keep, transfer and disburse for the said State as its public servant and officer, he being then and there the superintendent of the State pen itentiary, he did then and there feloniously appropriate, convert and divert the same to his own use, with intent to cheat and defraud the said State. Sworn to before me this 29th day of August, 18SS (LS) G Duncan Bellinger, Attorney General. J. M. Smith, Magistrate The affidavid in the embezzlement case was as follows : State of South Carolina, County of Bichland. The Slate vs. William A Neal Affidavit. Personally appeared before me J M. Smith, a magistrate for and in j said county and said State, G. Dun Can Bellinger, attorney general, who, I on oath, says that he is informed and believes that on the - day of-, 1898, ia said State and county, one William A Neal was guilty of embez ziement, in thi : That then and there, being super intendent of the State penitentiary, he, as such superintendent, did re ceive from one W. T Magiii the sum of forty dollars for the use of said penitentiary, the same being public funds, and the property of the State of South Carolina, and he being thea and there charged with the safe keep iog, transfer and disbursing of the -same, and did then and there felon iously convert, divert snd appropri ate said sum to his own use. And further, that the said. William A. Neal thea aud there the sum of forty dollars, the property of the said State, did slea';, take and carry away Sworn to before me this 29th day of August, 1899 (LS) G Duncan Bellinger, Attorney General, S. C. J. M Smith, Magistrate Coi. Neal waived tho preliminary examination and the bond was fixed at $3 500 ; of this $2.000 was fixed OD tbe origi&ai case, which is regarded ss most important ; $500 oo the second charge and $1.000 on tbe third. Wheo it waa found that Col. Nea! bad not secured bondsmen, Magistrate Smith 8greed to let bim remain in j Attorney Nelson's tfibe duricg she day tn custody cf Con3tabie Ros ?b, and ! from there endeavor to secure bail, j Nose of Col Neal'd former political friends came near him daring the day. A year ago things were very different, for Ool Ne=ii was a mao of political infiacscd Toe weary hoars rolled by and still no bondsmen appeared. Col. Nsa! made a proposition to Magistrate Smith to allow Constable R^ach to aocompaoy bim to the np country so that he ccuid lo person secure bonds men, but this was declined. The magistrate, however, consented to allow Col. Neal until this morning to secure the necessary bond, permitting him ia the meantime to remain in Con stable Roach's custody. But thia proved to be unnecessary, for about 2.30 o'olock Capt. W. B. Lowrance and Capt. Geo. A. Shields, of thi3 city, both staunch business men who did not mix in politics, consented to sign Col. Neal's bona. Tbey re paired to the magistrate's office, where the bonds were promptly signed up and tba ex-superintendent was set at liberty. Clarendon's Horse Thief. Manning, Aug 28-Saturday .morn ing our town was thrown into excite ment by tho report that William Diokson, a noted, horse thief sent from this county to the penitentiary and who with three other oonvicts had recently escaped from CDC of the State farms, bad been seen just across Black river in an old hay barn. Dickson had one companion with bim and they fled to the swamp when seen, leaving a ne mule and buggy, which was captured 8nd which, upon receipt of telegrams by the police later, it was ascertained belonged to a man by the name of Wil liamson, in Sumter county. Saturday night four citizens, includ ing Samuel T. Tobias, the magistrate's deputy; went out to staod guard over the railroad causeway and the public road causeway leading to town. They remained on duty until nearly daylight when two of the party were called away by the barking of dogs at a hcuss some distance off and one of them started home io make arrangements to send for some bloodhounds. Tobias started home walking on the railroad causeway, when he met Dickson and his partner, j but before ho could do anything they fired at him and clubbed him on the head and left him where he would probably have been run over by the train It is not certain from the wound in his head but that it might have been made by a large rifle bail. Bis skull is fractured and some of his brains came out. After the brutes had taken his gun and left him for dead, Tobias dragged himself a quarter of a mile to where a watchman was station ed at a mill and gave the alarm. It was afterwards discovered that the thieves had entered the Coast Line depot and stolen a number of articles and were on their way across the swamp when encountered by Tobias. Tobias lies in an unconscious condition and cannot live long. Dickson is a r.u;ed thief. He stole a horse from Mr. D. M. Bradbam and a baggy from Rev. Gough, neither of which have been recovered. He also stole a horse from Mr. C R. Karvin, which was recovered near Bishopville. His next horse theft was a fine mare from Mrs. Peagler at Jordan and a saddle from Mr. C. R. Sprott, whiob were recovered at Monroe, N. C., where Dickson was also oaptured and brought back. He is connected with numerous robberies and there are many citizens who would like to join a neck tie party if they can get hold of him. It seems impossible to keep him on the cba ngang.-Cor. The State. Reward For Desp radoes. The governor today offered a reward of $200 for the capture of a gang of desperadoes who have been operating ia Clarendon County. The immediate j reason for offering the reward was? a statement from well known cicizens of the county, showing that Mr. Sam uel Tobias, who had been out searching for one Henry Dixon, a leader of the gang, was waylaid and seriously wounded, supposedly by the gacg. j The same night they robbed the depot ! and a residence. Citizens here offered j a reward o $300, the town ccuncii $100 and the governor $100 ia each of the cases of shooting and robbery, making $600 ia ail. The eommuoicatoa further states that citizens of the oounty are much wrought up ever thc depredations of the gang -Columbia Record, Ang ass 31. " - - I I ? UMi - War Department Asked for More Commissions. Gov. McSweeney is still in receipt of letters from various portions of the State in the matter of the com missions in the new regiments of the array now being formed. The gov ernor yesterday forwarded to the war department a number of recommend ations for lieutenancies and higher positions Among those recommend ed by the chief executive were the following : Maj Micah Jenkins, who served with notable gallantry as major in the regiment of Rough Riders in Cuba The governor asks that he be made a major.

Tho Beaurepaire witness, Germain, who was to prove that Dreyfus attended Alsa tion manouvres, found bis statements denied by a reputable witness, while Germain hicaseif, it was proved, under went two convictions for swindling. This was the only testimony agaicbt Dreyfus, the remainder of the deposi tions being io his favor, several of them being very weighty, as io the ease of Capt. Carvab, Gen. Sebcrt and Maj. Hartmann, their evidence going to show that particulars of the firing manual of the "120 gua" and hydro-pneumatic brake were aimost matters of common knowledge among the officers and that the contention thal Dreyfus, from his special positioo on the staff and peculiar movements could be acquainted with them, has no solid basis. This was the sum of the day's proceedings, which were not marked by any incident of unusual occurrence, the Roget-Brayere episode, 30 which Gen. Roget clearly gave himself away, being the only matter which attracted special attention. M. Bertillon was severely snubbed by the presiding officer when he wished ! to reply to Gen Sebert, who had coo- j demoed his system as fantastic As soon as Gen. Sebert had finished his testimony, M. Bertillon bounced up nod asked to be allowed to speak, but Coi. Jouaust quickly turned to the usher and said : "Bring in the nest witness,'*' whereupon M. Bertillon, ex tremely annoyed, returned to his seat M. Gcdefrey Cavaignac, former min- j ister of war, returned to Rennes this evening. There is much speculation respecting the motive for his reappear ance here. The general conjecture is that it implies a fresh shuffling of the cards of the prosecution. Symptoms of despondency have manifested them selves in anti-Dreyfusard circles during the last few days. About W eat. It is time to think about the sowing of wheat this fall. The virgin soil of the Piedmont once made fine wheat. But there "s little of that left and perhaps the farmers in the old days never made more than 20 to 25 bushels to.the acre cn fresh lands or alluvial bottom lands. Wheat needs ammonia, phosphoric acid, potash, "lime and silex or sand. The latter two are needed in sinai! quantities and generally the land has those elements io abundance. The reason that wheat grows so well on new grcunda is that there is a liberal soppiy of potash furnished from burning the j brush A rich alluvial creek botte rn I bas too nuch ammonia for wheat. Even when sown thick it is apt to grow j rank and fail down. The straw is too weak to support the stalk. But mest of the wheat wiil be sown on upland. If thc soil is thin it will need ammonia to giv3 it & ecod stalk and bead. Oa some of the dark loamy lands a little I ammonia would perhaps be the best manure, if only one kind is used But take the lands as they eenie it will be best to use a perfect macurc ; that is one containing all the food elements required. If you have a heavy crop of pea vines use 300 pound* of acid phosphate and 100 pounds of potash, if there is little nitrogen in the soil 300 pounds of a good oommeroiai fer tiiizer and 100 pounds of potash. If you wish to study the lasting value cf potash 8nd phosphoric acid watch the crops that grow on an old house place. If the settlement; was iong continued and then the houses all moved away, one long afterwards may locate the place where the house stood by the crops that grew there. Land that will make an average 6 to 8 bushels of wheat to the acre will make 15 to 20 by the judicious application of $5 worth of commercial fertilizers, or its equivalent in ootton seed and stable manure -Carolina Spartan.
