Wisconsin and Cincinnati Hurrying
to Colon. Situation Report
ed Serious.
Washington, Sept. 12.?By noon to
day the navy department had been ad
vised that the two warships ordered to
the scene of tronbio on the isthmus of
Panama had. sailed for their destina
I tions. A telegram was received from
v Hear Admiral Casey, commanding [the
Pacific station, stating that the big
battleship^ Wisconsin left Bremerton
today, and, after taking on coal at San
Francisco, will resume her long voyage
down the Pacific coast With the same
promptness which characterized his
hurrying to the scene of the terrible
disaster at Martinique, Commander
T. C. McLean, with the Cincinnai,,
had started for Colon within a few
hours after the receipt' of the navy de
partment's orders, cabled Secretary
Moody to that effect this morning.
As a further indication that the vig
orous efforts of the navy department
to relieve the sitntion on the isthmus
are none too early, the following cable
gram was received from Commander
Potter of the Ranger, who, with'a
small gunboat, the Ranger, has for the
present the entire situation to look
after:
" Panama (received) cipher message
this morning (saying) revolutionists
near railroad Hue. Situation serious
Transit across isthmus still open.
"(Signed Potter."
In view of the reports that political
significance attaches to this latest dis
patch of naval force to the isthmus- of
Panama, a statement was gain?d today
from a high and unquestionable offi
cial source to the effect that the pro
tection of American interests and the
enforcement of treaty guarantees are
the only two considerations! involved
in the sending of additional ? warships
to Panama and Colon.
The department had decided not to
send the Panther with the battalion of
marines to the isthmus unless Com
mander McLean, upon the arrival of
the Cincinnati at Colon, informs the
department that men are needed.
Rear Admiral Silas Casey, comman
der-ih-chief of the Pacific, station, will
go down to Panama aboard the Wis
consin and tke personal command of
the naval forces upon his arrival
there,

?Nbw York, September il,?The
Havana x,i??l Munde, *' the principal
newspaper organ of the Cuban Nation
alist ot military party, headed by Gen
MffnS&o Gomez, in an editorai leader
gives publicity and great prominence
to a recent communication received
by the' President of Cuba by registered
mail, and under "confidential" cover,
from Secretary of War Eilihu Root,
and "two other representatives of
money kings of the United States,"
who, upon behalf of the "National
League for the Promotion of a Conti
nental Union," invite the Cuban Exe
cutive to co-operate with them with a
view to bringing Cuba into the Union
as a State of the coming great Conti
nental Republic, to include Canda,
Mexico and several States of Central
and South America and the West In
dies, in a single political confederation'
for the common weafl and mutual de
fence of the interests of the New
World, as the United States of Ameri
ca. While purporting to be the propo
sition of an organization entirely
friendly to Cuba, the circular warns
Cubans that, as matter of fact, they
must not expect too much from the
present Republican administration at
Washington, because, while Roosevelt
is their friend and sincere in his efforts
to induce Congress to grant reciprocal
trade relations with the island, he
cannot count upon approval by the
coming Congress.
The circular advises President Palma
to prepare his people for "the ?princi
pal act of the play," by telling them
plainly that Cuba must become a State
of the Union, admitted upon petition
of her own Congress and people.
"El Munde" states that President
Palma is thoroughly indignant and in
consequence has not regarded the cir
cular as in any way "confidential."
The paper adds that President Palma
has replied to the distinguished men
whosenames are signed to the com
munication that "Cuba, as a matter
of personal gratitude due the Rough
Rider hero of San Juan Hill, considers
it to be her duty to support his person
al propaganda only. El Munde, in
closing, subjects the Secretary of War j
to scathing criticism, as having join- !
ed with "other trusts' representa
tives" in sending out the imperialistic
circular mentioned .without bavins
resigned from the Roosevelt Cabinet."

MILITARY DEPARTMENT.
Science teaches that the perfect man
must be developed physically, mentally
and morally and that each is dependent
upon the other. He who is weak in
body cannot attain, under similar cir
cumstances, the standard of him who
is bodily strong. Realizing this fact,
and the counterfact that the physical
development given by the military
exercises is the best all around bodily
culture, the military system is intro
duced in all of its phases. The "set
ting up" exercises strengthen the boy,
causingthe development of a stout chest,
giving straight shoulders and an erect
and dignified bodily carriage ; the drill
and bayonet exercises give suppleness
and activity in movement, invigorat
ing the arm and leg muscles; and the
regulations in camp (barracks) teach
the* boy obedience, cleanliness,
promptness and duty at all times and
under all circumstances. Hence, when
the military system is introduced into
the school, and made to conform to
the requirements of the boy, placing
him upon his honor, with just enough
supervision from the Faculty to see
that he is in his place and about his
duty, the boy grows into the man in
whose life duty and honor are held as
sacred.
The physical development of the
cadets receives especial attention in
the atttempt to cultivate a strong body
and to give dignity and grace of bear
ing. All cadets are under military
discipline, both in and out of bar
racks, so that the Faculty can place
each cadet, at all times, likewise
teaching him that "He who would
govern must first have been govern
ed."

Vegetable Diet Being Substituted
by Planters for Cotton Fielet
Hands.
Chicago, HI., Sept. 12.?Charges
that the packers were holding meats
at fictitious prices to facilitate sales
of excessive stocks in the South at un
duly remunerative figures were heard
on the floor of the Board of Trade to
day.
Order men gave currency to the re
ports of quotation-cutting by the pack
ers, who were said to be willing to sell
cash stuff at less than the nominal
pit figures.
Evidence that the "coolers" in the
South are overstocked was cited in the
figures of today's shipments of cured
meats and lard. Of the former, 2,189, -
000 pounds were sent out today, while
a year ago the amount was 4,222,000,
or nearly twice as much. Only 506,000
pouns of lard were shipped, as against
3,290,000 on the corresponding day of
1901. . .
The diminished demand in the
South is attributed directly, to the
high prices. Planters are unwilling to
pay eleven cents for meats on which to
feed cotton fields hads, when Oathey
formerly paid only six cents. A vege,
table diet is being substituted, with
corn meal as a principal food. Stocks
of meats there are large.

of the Catholic Truth Society it was
unanimously resolved to send a dis
patch to President Roosevelt regarding:
ecclesiastical property and objects of
Catholic veneration discovered in the
United States army transport Bnford.
The dispatch requests an immedi

original ownership and nature of this
property and the manner in which it
came into the possession of the United

tion shows that it is church loot it is
asked that it be immediately returned

I BRADSTREET'S TRADE REVIEW.
!
Opening Cotton Makes Better
Times in the South.
New York, Sept. 12.?Bradstreets
tomorrow will say : Taken as a whole
fall trade is steadily expanding in
volume. Because western and north
western merchants report unabated
activity, eastern jobbing is as active
as heretofore, and the south reports
more doing at nearly all centers.
Frost held off until the close of the
week, when a seare was worked up.
Any deterioration now, however, can
only be as to quality, because the crop
seems secure as to quantity. \ Industry
is active, and except in the eastern shoe
manufacturing trade, the bard coal
region an? iron furnace work, the lat
ter, because of the colse shortage, pres
ent outputs equal and ir. most cases
exceed records. Despite the fact that
the new crops are only, moving in
small volume,and the usual activity in
anthracite codi is absent, the pinch
of the car shortage is steadily grow
ing.
That the trouble is not entirely one
of too few cars seems evident'from the
heavy orders for locomotives given by
the leading lines. Scarcity of help is
noted in the south for picking cotton
and at the north in public works.
"Wage advances are not en ti rely'absent,
and there is talk of a general move
ment for better compensation on west
ern railroads. Collections are uniform
ly satisfactory except at the south, but
even there improvement is noted at
various points, due to the increased
movement of "cotton. Cofrxih goods are
firmer, as much because of the steady
insistent demand as because of the
strength of the raw material, which
closes l-l(5al-8 below last week. A
feature in keeping with the advancing
season is the high range of farm pro
duce prices. Eggs are higher and but
ter is advancing on larger consumption
.and reported manipulation by cold
storage interests.
Business failures number 187 as
against 182 last year.
Frost in the Northwest.
Chicago, September 12.?The first
touch of the coming winter was felt
; throughout the Northwest today. Ee
I pOrts from a score or more of places to
the local weather bureau show that
frost was prevalent throughout
Nebraska, Northern Kansas, Wyoming.
North and South Dakota and Minne
sota. Many points in Wisconsin also
were affected. The corn crop had a
narrow escape. The damage is esti
mated to amount to about 15 per cent,
in Nebraska nd in other States it will
not exceed 5 per cent.

Don't let a cold run at this season. Sum

if neglected may linger along for months.

new president
of the s. 0. college.
The Hon. C. A. Woods, of Marion,
Unanimously Chosen.
From The State, Sept. 13.
The board cf trustees of the South
Carolina college met yesterday after
noon in the library for the purpose Of
electing a president to-succeed Dr. F.
C. Woodward. Much discussion was
indulged in, but after careful consid
eration the board unanimously agreed
to tender the position to Mr. Charles
A. Woods, a prominent member of the
Marion bar and man who is deeply
interested in higher education. A spe
cial committee consisting of Gov. Mc
Sweeney, Col. John T. Sloan and
Superintendent of Education John J.
McMahan was appointed to visit
Marion and extend the invitation to
Mr. Woods.
Although a great many applications
had beeen received by the board and
Mr. Woods was not an applicant, even
by way of utterance, the selection was
made only after much meditation and
because Mr. Woods was considered
the most desirable man for the posi
tion. The only fear of the board was
that he might refuse the presidency,
and it is with this point in view that
the invitation committee will be sent
to Marion.
Mr. Woods was born in Darlington
July 31, 1852, and is the son of Samuel
A. Woods and Martha T. Woods (nee
DuBose. He is from Scotch, Irish and
Huguenot ancestry. He married Sal
He T. Wannamaker on December 16,
1884. He was graduated from Wofford
college in 1872 and has practiced law
in Marion since 1873 with marked suc
cess. Mr. Woods is now president of
the State Bar Association and has al
ways been interested in the cause cf
higher education. He is now a trustee
of both Winthrop and Wofford col
leges. For many years he was. presi
dent of a banking institution.
The board heartily expressed its
thanks to Prof. Benj. Sloan, who has
been president pro tern. The board
recorded its utmost confidence in Maj.
Sloan and regretted that it was his
earnest desire to return to the chair of
mathematics as early as the presiden
tial vacancy could be filled. It is
well, known that it was only after
much persuasion both by the board
and his. colleagues that. *Maj. Sloan
consented to act as president, and then
only with the understanding that
the board take steps to elect an-execu
tive officer as soon as possible.
In the event of. Mr. Woods' accept
ance he will assume tbe chair ?t his
discretion, no time being set.
The board of trustees carefully inves
tigated the management of the ? stew
ard's hall and made arrangements by
which the hall will be open in ample
time for the reception of ah students,
The purpose is to give the Students the
maximum value for what they pay and
every cent of what the students pay
will go back to them for the food and
its preparation. There will be no one
to make a profit out of their board
money, no rent to pay, no lights or wa
ter to pay for and so the greatest value
is to be given the students. A com
petent matron has been selected and:
the management will be such as to
give entire satisfaction to the student
body and the college authorities. The
board will meec again in the city on
the 23d inst. to make final arrange
ments for the opening of the college
on the 24th.
HEAVY VEROICtIg???ST SEABOARD.
William E. Boyd Allowed $10,000,
Damages for Injuries Received
in an Unusual Way,
Columbia, Sept. 12.?The largest
verdict which has been gotten in the
State lately was rendered in Camden
Thursday. The suit was brought by
one Willam E. Bovd against the Sea
board Air Line railway for $30,000 on
account of injuries received.
Boyd, a section foreman, was on a
handcar, with several section, hands,
when a box car loaded with 200 cross
ties, having gotten out of the control
of the men who were loading it, rush
ed down the track, overtook the band
car and killed two of the hands. Boyd
was maimed, being used up.
He sued the road for $20,000 actual
damages, and 310,000 punitive dam
ages. The jury brought in a verdict
for 822,000. Yesterday morning Mr..
Wm. H. Lyles and Capt. Wm. Shan
non, representing the defendant com
pany, argued for either t, new trial or
a reduction of the verdict.
Judge Dantzler said he was convinc
ed that the verdict was excessive !.and
reduced same to $10,000.
Josh Weathafer, of Loogootee, :s a poor
man. but he says he would not be without
Chamberlain's Pain Balm if it cost five
dollars a bottle, for it saved him from be
ing a cripple. No external application is
eqi^al to this liniment for stiff an dswolisn
joints, contracted muscles, stiff neck,
sprains and rheumatic and muscular pains.
It has also cured numerous cases of partis*
paralysis. It is for saie by Dr. A. J. China.
Dr. Steiner observed in" Java a
method employed to induce sleep. It
consists in compressing the carotid
arteries. The operator sits on the
ground behind the patient, whose neck :
he seizes with both hands. The index
and midd-le fingers are then pushacli

method is absolutely harmless,
anaesthesia is rapidly obtained and
the patient wakes promptly, with no
symptoms of nauseaa or malaise.

Sept 17, 1902, the Suinter Military
Academy and# the Sumter Female
Seminary w;,l open for the reception
of students. The summer has been
spent in aggressive campaigning and
prospects could not be brighter for an
overwhelming opening. Many students
are exepcted from other States.
The last session, was harmonious
prosp?rons and successful. The school
has taken a deep hold upon the affec
tions of the people. The boarding pa
tronage, which constitutes its strength,
has been all that could have been ex
pected. Encouraged and confident,
the Faculty look toward the future,
and parp?se making many improve
ments that will add to the teaching
facilities and the comfort of its
pupils.
The colleges offer thorough training,
a high and complete curriculum, sup
ported by able and experienced teach
ers,
LOCATION.
In point of location, The Sumter
Military Academy and Sumter Female
Seminary may justly claim pre-emi
nence among educational institutions
of South Carolina. It has been truly
said that "Sumter is a beautiful, rap
idly growing, healthful city of exten
sive and diversified manufacturing in
terests and has the best of most every
thing." "The admiring gaze of -the
State is turned toward Sumter, travel
ing men speak well of it, all - visitors
have a good word for it. " It is one of
the few old towns upon which age has
fallen lightly and to which the passing
years have brought additional dignity
and substantial prosperity. The well
kept streets of the ctiy are shaded by
hundreds of magnificent old oaks, the
pride and glory of the people whose
comfortable ar>d elegant homes are
scattered for miles along these delight
ful ways, made more beautiful by
evergreen hedges and filled 7 with the
sweet odor of ever-blooming flowers.
Under the fostering oversight of an
intelligent, progressive city govern
ment, the sanitary conditions of Sum
ter are such as to promote its well
known natural health?alness. A well
equipped system of waterworks under
efficient management affords an . abun
dant supply of the purest and best wa
ter, containing very little mineral mat
ter and scarce a trtce organic. Sur
face rain water is quickly carried off
by an excellent drainage system, and
all other necessary means taken to
promote not only the health, but the
comfort and pleasure of citizens.
Electric lights banish the darkness of
night from the streets; telephones,
manufactured by extensive home plants
are found in almost every house and
place of business, and connect Sumter
with nearly every town in the sur
rounding country. The graded schools
of S?mter are equal to the best in
the State in equipment, management
and teaching.
The religious influences and sur*
roundings are of the highest charac
ter. Most of the denominations have
commodious church buildings, large
and intelligent congregations and elo
quent ministers.
In accessibility, Sumter has but few
equals ih the South. Two great rail
road systems, the "Atlantic Coast
Line" and the "Southern," with
numerous branches, afford the most
ample facilities for commerce and
travel.
Thus, with this location, in the
midst of a splendid agricutlural dis
trict, with its unsurpassed railroad
facilities, with its extensive manufac
turing, its enterprising, intelligent
business men, and with all the modern
facilities and conveniences for the
enjoyment of life, the city of Sumter
has become the home of prosperity,
health and refinement, and one of the
great centers of social, educational
and moral influences.
