Fire in MayesYille.
Mayesville, Feh. 18.-Our town was
Tiaited bj a small:fire, last night. At
twelve o'clock one d$f the numerous
cotton seed warehouses^that* blocks np
half of the Atlantic Coast Line track
was discovered to be on fire and before
anything could be done to stop it,
three of them were burnt. The fire
originated in the warehouse belonging
to Mr. S. M. McCall, the other two
belonging to Mr. A. A. Strauss and
Mr. R. F. DesChamps. Two of them
were full of: cotton seed hulls of Mr.
J. F. Bland, Jr~ A fourth house be?
longing to Mr. McCall caught, but by
extra hard work with an engine that
is very much out of fix, the fire was
put out and that in the face of the
gale that: was blowing: It was
thought at one time that in spite of
work the two Holleman houses- would
burn.
F want to say-also that if it had not
have been for our colored men, Joe
Dick, Bichard Eoward," David
Charles, Ceasar Shaw, Harvey Flem?
ing, Lewis Motgomery, Anthony Wil?
son, Robert Whitfield and possibly one
or two more, we fcertainiy could not
have controlled it, but these men
narked the engine steadily for one
honr and a half.

I have been reading Job lately, not
by selection, but because that was
the book next in order. I believe in
the providence of God, that, "There
is a Divinity that shapes our ends,
rough hew them as we may." The
bible toiSrus that Her directs our lives,
orders our steps and makes our
-changes for us-to me a most comfort?
able doctrine. It is good- for me to?
read Job just now, whether by pur?
pose or otherwise. He was a very rich
and honorable man with a nice family
of children who had Just arrived at
the age where they could take care
of themselves. No doubt Job was
just beginning to feel easy and com?
fortable. It looks like a pity to de?
stroy such a* fine" picture; but it was
destroyed almost in a moment. When
Job looked forth on the vast desola?
tion he said, "The Lord gave and
the Lord: hath taken away; blessed
be the name of the Lord." Troubles
came in troops to Job. He is afflict?
ed With a loathsome disease and his
friends forsake him. His wife, in?
stead Of trying to comfort him, tells
him to curse God and die, but he
replied, "Though He slay me, yet will
I trust in Him."
Last fall we farmers after a short
crop, for which we got a fair price,
planted oats; at least many of ns,
and the extreme cold killed them.
Some of ns bought more seed and
planted over, and these stand in great
danger. Are we fretting over it? A
good lady said to me, "When I feel
real bad (not sick) and gloomy, I go
to some house of* mourning of afi^ic
tion for a while, and it always helps
me. I know a man who had lost four
children, ail he had. He thought
that? bad indeed until he met another
who had lost sis, all be had. Some
one has said "There's never a condi?
tion so bad that it could not be
worse." "We are not getting our
deserts so let us thank God. I am
persuaded that Pie is so afflicting us
to bring us to Him. He used to do
so for the bible tells us so.
We are sorry to hear that Dr. B.
McLaughlin, our most excellent
physician, bas given up practice. He
has been very successful and will be
missed.
It?r. W. M." Lenoir and C. A.

zer here as they did last year.
We understand that Capt. Jas. K.

OUT OF WHEELER'S SPEECH.
He Stands By All He Said, But
Declares Germans Cannot
Distort it into Discourtesy.
Washington. Feb. 18-- The speech
of Mr. Wheeler of Kentucky in the
house last Friday, when he bitterly as?
sailed Secretary Hay and Lord
Pauncefote and criticised ti?e official
preparations for ti.e reception of Prince
Henry, had a sequel iu the house to?
day during the debate upon the Indian
appropriation bi il. Mr. Giilet of
Massachusetts brought the subject in
a speech of half an hour, lie declared
that the intemperance of Mr. Wheel?
er's language carried its own condem?
nation. During the course of his
speech two Democrats-Robinson of
Indiana and Thayer of Massachusetts,
-disclaimed any sympathy with Mr.
Wheeler's utterances. Mr. Wheeler
himself subsequently replied to Mr.
Giilet, reaSirming what he had said,
and declaring that he would stand by j
his words whether they were discreet
or not. The incident was the feature
of the day.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
The Belle Telephone Franchise Con?
sidered.
City Council met at 8 o'clock p. m.,
Tuesday, Feb. 18th, pursuant to ad?
journment to consider the application
of the Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph Co., foi the right to erect
and operate a telephone exchange in
Sumter. The entire council was pres?
ent.
Mr. Jno. R. Haynsworth, surveyor,
came with a map of the city, prepared
undej contract with the city, which
; he asked be examined, approved and
payment ordered. On motion of Mr.
G. F. Epperson the map and contract
were referred to the special committee
in charge of the matter with power to
act.
Messrs. H. Harby; Jr., and H. K.
Murphy were present in. the interest
of the Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph Go. A letter was read from
S. C. Baker, Preisdent Sumter Tele?
phone Co., protesting agamst the
grant desired by the Southern Bell
Telephone and Telegraph Co. on the
following grounds,
1. That years- ago his company
received from the city an exclusive
grant for 10 years, which was supposed
to be valid, and without which citi?
zens would not have risked money in
the- enterprise.
2. That they "have maintained a
reasonably.good service, and have in?
vested their earnings-in improving and
extending, their lines for the benefit of
subscribers.
3. That in compliance with demands
of council are installing the double
metallic sysfcem, thereby doubling
expnsees- but not increasing the
income. This upon the understanding
that tiley" would be protected by coun?
cil to the end of their term;
. 4. That the company has incurred a
debt of $7;0CO in' making these im?
provements,- for which the writer- is
personally liable, as endorser.
5. That competition will lessen the
income of his company and entail
financial loss without lessening rates
to citizens or giving inceased facil?
ities. For these reasons Dr. Baker
asked council to uphold their rights
granted by a former council, and ac?
cepted in good faith, "andso save me
and my associates, your felllow citi?
zens, from serious financial loss."
Messrs. Harby and Murphy discuss?
ed the matter at length with council,
asserting that their company would
complete their system in ten months.
That rates would not be increased, un?
less upon urgent necessity. They call
i ed attention to annulment by council
of the Sumter Telephone Co's,
franchise, and urged their right, and
the benefit to the community that they
come in
. Mr. Finn moved that the Bell Co.
be permitted to come in on such terms
as council may hereafter impose.
There was no second to this resolution.
Mr. Chandler moved, seconded by
Mr. Hurst, that the Bell Co., be per?
mitted to establish an exchange on
condition that they agree to give same
out of town connections and charge no
hierher rutes than the Sumter Tele?
phone-Co. Mr. Harby declared that
his comopny would not accept the con?
ditions, and in reply to this Mr.
Purdy stnted that he would not vote
to grant something which he was thus
advised would be refused. A vote was
then taken upon Mr. Chandler's mo?
tion and resulted in its defeat as fol?
lows :
Yeas: Chandler, Hurst. Nays: Boyle,
Epperson, W. H; Epperson, G. F;
Purdy, Rowland.
Mr. Finn declined to vote at all be?
cause he does not believ in such
restictions.
Council then adjourned.

Treaty Confirming the Cession
Ratifrari Yesterday --There
Was No Opposition.
Washington. Feb. 17.-Today in lit
I tie more t' an an hour's time the sen
] ate disposed of the treaty with Dert
j mark ceding to the United States for
I a consideration of S?.000,000 the isl
. s of St Thomas, St. John and Sc.
Croix, composing tho group of the
Antilies known as the Danisn West
indies and lying just east of Puerto
Ki co and thus, so far rs this country
is concerned, consummated a transac?
tion which has been und?r considera?
tion since the administration of Presi?
dent Lincoln.
The treaty and the report upon it
wern adopte : ar. length and more or
less discussion of the profjosition was
indulged. Senator Culiom, as chair?
man of the committee on foreign rela?
tions, made a speech explaining the
a 1 vantages of the a?qnisiti TI of the
islands and Senator Bacon and McLan
rin of Mississippi, made brief speech?
es saying li?t while they could not
endorse all the provisions of the /ar?
rangements they would place no ob?
stacles ia the way of ratification.
Sena!or Bacon moved to amend the
ivv.'.iy by striking out the second
paragraph of article of the treaty read?
ing as follows :
"The civil rights and the political
status of the inhabitants of the isl?
ands shall be determined by the con?
gress subject to the stipulation con
tained in the present convention."
He based his opposition to this pro?
vision on the ground that the constitu?
tion should extend to the islands when |
they become a part of the United
States. He said, however, t"at the
failure to accept the amendment wonld
not prevent his voting for the treaty
for he believed in the Monroe doctrine.
Under that doctrine this country
could not permit any European power
to acquire the islands and we could
not in fairness take this position and
then ourselves refuse to buy them when
they are for sale.
The amendment was rejected with?
out division.
Senator Cullom said the provision
offering the civil rights of the inhab?
itants was similar to the provision on
the same subject in the Spanish treaty,
concerning Puerto "Rico.
Senator Cullom said that in taking
the islands the United States would
assume no burden of debt as by the
terms of the agreement all claims held
by Denmark against the insular treas?
ury would be cancelled.
Senator Cullom explained that under
the terms of the treaty, the United
States would take possession of the
islands as soon-as ratification could be
exchanged and said that it' would not
be necessary to delay that act until
the. appropriation of money to pay for
them could be made.
Senator Cullom's motion to ratify
then was adopted by a viva voce vete.
PHILIPPINE T?HIFF IN SENATE.
Maryland Republican Scores Ad?
ministration's Treatment
erf Schley.
Washington, Feb. 18.- lt was agreed
by- the senate today that a final vote
upon the Philippine tariff bill and the
pending amendments should be taken
up next Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
?Toe' agreement was reached a few
minutes after the senate convened to
(day. The only stipulation made by the
-minority was that'five d?ys should be
devoted to speeches not exceeding lo
-minutes: Two speeches were deliv?
ered today, one by Senator Wellington
"of Maryland, in opposition to the
pending bill and the other by Senator
Stewart of Nevada in support of the
measure. Mr. Wellington's "address
covered the Phillippine question gen
erally and he set forth his well known
views forcefully.
Mr. Stewart spoke biefly making a
legal and constitutional argument in
support of tbe authority of congress to
hold the Philippines and to provide a
proper government for their inhabit?
ants.
Mr. Wellington stated his points of
disagreement with the party with
which he had been identified through?
out his life. He said he had been a
Republican, a protectionist and a
believer in a gold standard of cur?
rency. However, he said, the Span?
ish war brought the parting of the
ways. He was opposed to that war.
and believed that Cuban independence
could have been brought about by
diplomatic negotiations. Then came
the "imperialiirtic tendencies" of the
Republican party and with them he
could not agree;.
Without the Spanish war, he said,
Cuba might have been free, might
have enjoyed indeed a larger measure
of freedom and independence than she
was enjoying now or would enjoy in
the future. The only thing Cuba had
been taught was how a postal official
could embezzle a half million dollars.
Referring to the bill under discus
son, Mr, Wellington declared his op?
position to it on "the broad ground of
the minority," that there was no right
to enact such legislation.
Mr. Wellington referred to the bat?
tle of Santiago where the American
squadron, he said, was under the
command of Rear Admiral Sampson,
but was led by "the Maryland hero, ;
Admiral Schley." (Applause in one
of the galleries. )
"From that moment, " he continued, !
"the end was won. Admiral Schley
commanded the vessels of the Ameri?
can squadron in that engagement. He
stood in the midst of that battle and
won out as no battle ever was won
before. But the administration has I
been as unjust to bim as it has been
to the Cubans and Filipinos. He has
not received that meed of praise and
credit that belongs to bim but an effort
has been made to besmirch him and
to detract from his character and from
his truth and bravery."
Mr. Wellintgon referred incidental?
ly to his conference with the late
President McKinley concerning thc |
ratification of the treaty of Paris. He
went over the whole situation with ;
the [.resident, he said, arid made plain
to him that he ( Wellintgon ) never!
would consent to vote for any proposi- |
tion which contemplated the perm a- '.
neat occupation of the Philippine isl- i
ands by the United States.
lie maintained that our victories in
the Spanish war had induced a rever?
sa) of the policy of more than 100
years. He accused the admin ist ra
tion of having no definite Philippine)
policy, and adverted biefly to the Boer j
cause to which, he said, we would j
have extended our sympathy had our ;
own skirts been clear.

Light Without Sight.
We can "perceive" light without the
smallest aid from the retina. If the
optic nerve is sufficiently excited to
reach the sensorium and create a dis?

where the optic nerve terminates, we
shall then see light and sparks. If,
moreover, the optic nerve is cut or mu?
tilated In any way. we should see a
brilliant flash of light, though without
any sensation of pain. And so it is
with the other nerves. The auditory
nerve has only to be excited, not nec?
essarily by sound, so as to' reach its
center, the brain, and we shall hear a

Lord Rosebery, formerly premier of
Great Britain, surprised some of his
hearers at a recent gathering by refer?
ring to himself as an agriculturist, says
a London newspaper. It is not generally
known, even in England, that Lord
Rosebery, statesman, author, sports?
man, is also a farmer. His farm is at
Mentmore, on the splendid estate
which came to him on his marriage. It
is conducted on the highest scientific
principles and is one of the first model
fruit farms in England. Large quanti?
ties of. fruit come from Mentmore to
the London markets. Lord Rosebery
has also a dairy farm on the Mentmore
estate. At Dalmeny his association
with the world-of industry is in the
form of shale mines lymg on a remote
corner of his estate. Now and again
the wind brings the smoke and smell
of the mines up to the mansion, and it
was this which provoked a visitor to
remark on the nuisance of having such
things so close by.
"Ah. my friend." said Lord Rosebery,
"however unpleasant it may be to you?
to me It Is the smell of 25 per cent.'*

has good furniture, but it is strangely
arranged. The lounge is a favorite
piece of furniture, and one sees it in
every Indian household, always iL the
parlor. If the Indians have a piano or
organ. It goes into the bedroom. The
young buck's best saddle also goes into
the parlor, and in many bouses it is
hung upon the wall. Red ribbons are
