PiSS?H *m itfk CAMDEN MEETING.
What Oar CorreApontieat Think of the
Caatf Mates For State Offices.
Pisgith, Aug. 4.? This section]is in
the dry streak. There has not been
enough rain since May to run in the
furrowH, consequently the fine crops of
a month ago are short Cotton is
opening prematurely for the want of
moisture; From near here to Camden,
rain has fallen in abundance as in oth
er sections, and the crops show the
beheiSfcof it ; but here the clouds just
pass by ?aid-iwer our heads, to pour
out their wat?t at some other place. -
Tobacco seems to be quite a success
to those who have planted it this sea
son.
There is some fever of a slow type
scattered through this section. Mr. W.
J. Dees' family is down with typhoid
fever. His wife and four children
have it The neighbors are doing
what they can to help him in his
distress.
Senator Manning's friends are pleas
ed to see his card as candidate for
re-election. He has made a good Sen
ator. Prompt and pleasant to those
who had business with him, and punc
tual in discharge of his duties.
Mr. Moses' long experience in the
House, will make him a useful mem
ber of it
Mr. Fraser will continue as he com
menced, independent in his views, and
not dependent on any man for his ap
proval of what he wishes to do. A
right sort of public man.
"Mr, and Mrs. R. K. Wilder and
Marie DuPre, of Sumter, spent several
days here last week visiting relatives,
and returned home Saturday afternoon.
? protracted meeting is now going
on at Pisgah church. . The pastor, Mr.
Crouch, is assisted by Bey. Mr. Black
, many of Lancaster. The morning ser
vice will be at 10 o'clock and the even
ing at 8 p. m. Eev. J. W. Kenney is
laid up with sore eyes, so he could not
fill his appointments for yesterday.
Quite a number have it. Some of them
being blind for a time.
The State campaign meeting ^passed
off quietly at Camden. Talbert made
the best speech of the gubernatorial
i candidates. It was forceful. He ap
pealed for a better manhood, based on
the requirements of Holy Writ. Dr.
Timmerman, Ansel, (Bro. Crankford,
as he styles himself), and Hey ward,
; . were listened to attentively. Lieut
i Gov. Tillman got the most applause.
He did not make a speech in full. Paid
his respects to the "State," and ex
plained some other things. Personal
differences should be settled out of
newspapers and off the stand. The
newspapers ar? paying too much atten
tion to TiUman. They tried it on
Elaine, and he polled his full party
; vote, when his ? own organ's were
. against him. I heard several gentle
men say they considered Tillman per
secuted, and they intended to vote for
him on account of it Legitimate
criticism on public matters is all right,.
but it is an insult to a man's intelli
gence to intimate or tell him how he
should vote, as some of the papers are
doing. The minor candidates had a
lively time, Gunter and Stevenson are
like lovers. McMahon put it on his
opponent Mobiey whacked into Wil
born and he went for all. .Says he
has saved 13 times his weight in gold
to the fanners, by one vete.
Some of the jokes of the candidates,
were not enjoyed by. alL Instead of
discussing matters of public interest
a lot of foolishness is indulged in.
We missed Whitman. I hope in the fu
ture that his friends will see his assess
ment paid if he don't pay it and let
him speak last so he can whack it into
all the rest It will interest the
crowd. Whitman may be a crank, but
he tells a lot of truth all the same and
would make a better Governor than
some who have opposed him. Frank
Gary made a fine speech, and from the
present outlook stands the best chance
to be elected, but politics are like a
camelion*ever changing.
Guv's Observations in lee County.
We cisscapeo'erians could spare '
you. occidental, apathetic transcape
o'erians a huge lot of poitical enthu
siasm, bombast and general tommy rot,
without disfurnishing ourselves, also
a fair batch of candidates of assorted
sizes, grades and modern styles. No
1 old style in whole assortment. The
battle is on, the fight reached a rosy
red heat and the slogan of the Bantam
candidate and colony is "O, libera me
rnetu!" O, dnrn it this is a mean un
generous trick that Sumter cabal has
imposed on us ; causing us to carry out
this play not even* knowing whether
we are acting a farce, comedy or legi
timate drama, and this the second pre
sentation too, O, dog-gon. This baili
wick has been peculiarly blessed in
the matter of crop season. The dis
tribution of temperature rainfall, &c,
though seemingly somewhat erratic
has been in the main, conducive to
rapid and vigorous growth with ample
opportunities to cultivate with plow
and hoe. The writer can vouch that
the crop in sight of the roads, from St.
Charles to Bishopville and above, are
as near ideal as can ever be expected
on this small side of Paradise. The
results ?ire that we farmers have adopt
ed a little more swonger in our gait, a
broad guage smile illumines our afflict
ed countenances, we are breathing out
a veritable vague aroma of riches and
we are ready to giv? advice off-hand to
anything and to critize everything
from Divine Providence to the town
Marshal. There are a few, however,
who are not comforted. They are they
who are never supremely happy until
they succeed in making every one else
intensely miserable. (We* ourself
despise riches ; it's our only consola
tion, and w? sit up nights despising
-em with vehement despise. )
The growth of St. Charles which
seemed to have been arrested by?
drought, or something, has taken "on
anew and we bid fair to become some
what of a lumber, huckleberry and
cotton ginning emporium?also eggs.
R. M. Jenkins' saw mill has been
steadily running during the year, and
is now under heavy drive and high
pressure and the lumber men are buying
the stuff with much avidity. Mr. J. is
also renovating his ginnery attach
ment.
W. Kistler McCoy is erecting a 50
feet gin house and will put in three
70-saw gins with a complete Murray
system of steam press, all of the most
modern style and improvements.
"Paul" may be somewhat unweildy in
make (he is self-made and builded
himself too much b? 3? waist), but
his steadiness and pertinacity will
fgi there."
D. L. Shaw is improving his dwell
ing house which occupies, perhaps,
the choicest location around the
j "burg," being the original residence
I on the old local plantation.
Sam E. Shaw is curing up Tiis crop
of tobacco and several barns of lugs
and lower Strippings have already
yielded fair prices.
Archy A. Brearley is making quite a
reputation as a raiser of choice
melons. He has been cultivating, for
several years, and selecting from a
particular variety of melon which
might appropriately be dubbed
* * Br?arley choice, *' as he has brought it
to a state of perfectionn?t is not only
attractive, but alluring and seductive.
This melon grows to large size and
perfect shape; is of dark glossy green
with a peculiar sheen, thin rind, flesh
deep red, firm and sugary and with that
peculiar melony flavor, which lends a
finish to it's lusciousness. (In a more
temperate season he may experiment
in growing a lnmp of ice inside, or a
coating outside) ; many of these melons
weigh 40 {founds each, and their ap
pearance would attract attention in
! any market.
A lilipution tornado narrowly escap
ed striking Mr. B's. residence a few
days Pince. The funnel shaoed terror
roared through the field in fearful
proximity, wrenching tough limbs and
tops of o?k and other treee in it's rapid
passage then lost itself in space or
died of exhaustion.
Our roads are, veritably, a crying
dsgrace to modern progress and
civilization and those leading to
the congeries of St. Charles
are no exception, rather an object
lesson of slovenly neglect maugre the
fact that the material for repair sim
ply needs shoveling into shape. We
have some valuable data regarding the'
building and the benefit of good roadss
which might be printed for a more
impressionable people ; but as it is it
would be like "casting pearls," &c.
So th^re ! now let some more loyal and
patriotic and fireeating Gamecocker
take us up on that line, please ! we
want to say something bad.
The population has ceased entirely
to work roads and the chain gang, it
is stated, has not made it's appearance
on 'this side the lines since they were
declared as enclosing Lee county last
year; though our quota of convicts
and taxes are being utilized for the
improvement of other sections.
Our courteous station agent and tele
grapher Charley Smith has been off
temporarily and our own Sid Smith has
been holding down the button and the
trains. Sid is an indigene. Having
had few opportunities and lacking
robust health he determined on learn
ing telegraphy and has persisted and
conquered. Sober, amiable, steady
and indsutrious, we predict that Sid
will not lack position.
The Daily Item has been somewhat
derelict and truant at times and still
continues its remissness at intervals,
much to our disappointment. We get
the big journals done up in "ample
form," but the fresh, crisp columns of
the breezy Item is ever the first wrap
per torn and news conned, terse,
concrete, versatile : it is a great com
fort to this weary pilgrim during this
season of torrid temperature and short
evenings and "dolce far ni?nte'1 and
innock qus desswee toode.
Guv,
"Wee Nee," Lee C? (In dubito.)
July 31, 1902.
P. S.?Thanks to our Pisgah friend
(Is he the old "sage of Pisgah?") for
his kind expression, some time since,
as to our deserving office in Lee coun
ty. Whenever we conclude to begin
our political pap howl we'll depend
upon his strong support : until then we
prefer to wait and watch to what class
of men the voters of Lee county pre
fer to trust their political weal or
woe. Andrew Johnson is said to
have written from Tennessee, to his
father in North Carolina who was a
chronic candidate, ' ' better come out
here, dad, .mighty, mean men gits
office out here." We'll wait and watch
and run accordin. G.
The Governor Refuses to Pardon
Dr. Maxcy Lee.
The governor yesterday acted finally
in the matter of the petition for a
pardon for Dr. Maxcy C. Lee, con
victed in Darlington county in 1899
and sentenced to life imprisonment in
.the State penitentiary upon conviction
of murder with a recommendation to
mercy. It will be remembered that
this bright and promising young
physician shot and killed his father
with whom he lived, he being also a
physician. It was developed at the
trial that Dr. Maxcy Lee was under
the influence of liquor at the time and
h? has claimed from the first that the
killing was purely an accident. The
case has been one attracting wide
spread attention in view of the promi
nence of the parties concerned. Ee
cently strong petitions were presented
to the governor in behalf of the young
physician, but Solicitor Johnson made
no recommendation and Judge Benet
set out at some length and very
strongly the reasons why he could not
recommend the exercise of executive
clemency. After carefully considering
the matter in all its phases tbe gov
ernor yesterday refused to interfere
with the sentence of the court.
Dr? Lee has been of great assistance
in the medical department of the
State prison, and his work in the hos
pital has been of such a character as
to receive mention in the annual re
port of the officers to the general as
sembly.?The State Aug. 5.
Chicago, 111., Aug. 4.?Commodore
Jos. E. Montgomery, the aged Con
federate naval office who nearly cap
tured pen. Grant during the civil
war, died here today at the home of
his son, Dr. James Montgomery.
Commodore Montgomery was born in
Carrollton, Ky., in 1817, and from his
youth until the war broke out was en
gaged in river traffic. At tbe battle
of Mobile Bay he played a conspicuous
part. He also was in the engagement
at Fort Pillow and New Orleans, and
at Memphis he lost his fleet, f?e was
an intimate friend of Jefferson Davis.
He lost his eyesight 12 years ago and
since that time had lived in this city.
The idea of Senator Beveridge, of
Indiana, going into Texas to break the
solid Democratic delegation from that
State in the coming campaign is
laughed at by all Texans. In fact the
Democrats down there rather hope
that he will go on a tour of the State,
confident that he will surely increase
Democratic majorities wherever he
speaks.
GOBA WILL ISSUE BONDS.
Bill Authorizing a Loan of Thirty
Five Millions Adopted.
Washington, Aug. 4.?The state de
partment has received the following
cablegram from Minister Squires,
dated Habana, Aug. 4:
**The house has passed the bill au
thorizing loan thirty-five million min
imum rate of issue 90 per cent. Max
imum interest five per cent., redeem
able in forty years." ;
Under the Platt amendment the Uni
! ted States is bound to take cognizance
of every action of the Cuba govern
ment relating to loans.
Article 2 of that amendment pro
vides: "That said government shall
? not assume or contraci any public
! debts to pay the interest , upon which
i and to make reasonable sinking fund
provision for the ultimate discharge of
which the ordinary revenues of Cuba,
after defraying the current expenses
\ of the government, shall be inade
quate." :
No computation has been made to
ascertain whether or not the loan pro
vided for in the bill to which Minister
i Squires refers trespasses upon the pro
; vision of the Platt amendment, but it
! is presumed that the Cuban revenues
can pay the interest and provide a
sinking fund besides defraying the or
dinary expenses of the government,
as provided in the amendment. At
the same time it will no doubt be
found very difficult to interpret this
particular provision, as the question
of revenues may fluctuate according to
the conditions in the island,
si 3i known that the intention of
article 2 was to prevent any extraordi
nary issue of bonds for the purpose of
redeeming the bonds of the so-called
republic previous to the [Spanish
American war and the payment of large
bounties to those who had taken
part in the insurrection aglhist Spain.
It was intended as a check upon the
Cuban government in the matter of in
curring indebtedness although it car
ries no provision indicating what
would be the action of the United
States should the Cuban government
exceed the indebtedness prohibited by
the amendment. Neither is there
anything in the amendment indicating
what steps the United States would
take to determine whether the in
debtedness was beyond the power it
would prevent the incurring of such
indebtedness.
HYGEI? HOTEL MOVED BY WATER.
A Bold Scheme of Engineering to
Be Accomplished.
Norfolk, Va., Aug. 2.?The Hygeia
must be moved eight miles by water.
The War Department has requested
the removal of the Hygeia from the
government reservation at Old Point.
The site is to be used for additional
batteries and barracks for Fort Mon
roe'.
The owners of the famous hotel are
granted time to dispose of the build
ing and have received an offer of $50,
000 to remove it entire to Willoughby
Spit, a point eight miles away across
Hampton Roads.
If the hotel can Joe moved entire and
set up on the opposite beach," another
popular resort will be enhanced; and
the hotel will again be profitable.
The great enigneering feat of remov
ing a frame building four hundred
feet long is the problem. The hotel
is practically worthless, but a New
York trust company holds a deed for
$72,000 on it. The success of this plan
depends ont he boldness and skill of
the engineer. .
The Cotton Crop is Reported t? be
Above the Average.
Wshington, Aug. 4.-?The monthly
report of the statistician of the de
partment of agriculture shows the
average condition of cotton on July
25 to have been 81.9 as compared with
84.7 on June 25, 77.2 on July 25, 1901,
76 on August I, 1900, 84 on August 1,
1899, and a 10 year average of 82.8.
Except in Texas and Oklahoma
which report as to averages of condi
tion on July 25 at 4 points higher
than last month. Indian Territory,
where there has been an improvement
of 6 points, and Missouri, where there
is no appreciable change, a more or
less marked deterioration is reported
from the entire cotton belt, the de
cline amounting to 1 point in Vir
ginia, 2 in Arkansas, 4 in Louisiana,
5 in Mississippi 6 in Tennessee, 7 in
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Alabama, 8 in Georgia and 12 in Flor
ida.
There is a marked absence of uni
formity of condition even in the
States making the most unfavorable
showing, not a few counties reporting
condition far above the average and
some even reaching the high figure of
100.
The conditon in the principal States
is reported as follows:
North Carolina 86: South Carolina
88: Georgia 83; Florida 84: Alabama
77; Mississippi . 80; Louisiana 81;
Texas 77 ; Arkansas 92 : Tennessee 92 ;
Oklahoma 94 ; Indian Territory 95.
New York's Anti-Hebrew Riot.
New York, August 4.?Police In
spector Brooks today began a public
investigation into the riot at Jthe
funeral of Chief Rabbi Joseph last
Wednesday. R. Hoe (& Co, manufac
turers of printing presses, were today
served with summons and complaint
in a suit for ?25,000 damages, brought
by Rudolph Gartenbrugb, who alleges
that while acting as a pallbearer at
the funeral of Rabbi Joseph he was
struck by a brick in the hands of one
of Hoe & Co's employees.
Train Wrecker Caught.
Norfolk, Va, Aug. 4.?"Hurricane"
Branch, the Suffolk sheriff and owner
of the boodhound "Tiger," yesterday
arrested Bill Anes, a farmer, near
Rinsen, N. C, charged with having
removed the rails that caused the
wreck on the Washington and Ply
mouth Railroad Friday. The dog
took the trail at the scene of the
wreck and followed it for 10 miles to
Anes' house.
