"SUFFEBINi INO STARVATION." Exaggerated Reports as to the Flooded District. it is Stated From Spartanburg in Regard to Clifton anc Pacolet That "There is no Starvation and no Suffering at'E?ther Mili." Spartanburg, June IO.-Very exag? gerated reports have been published in regard to suffering and starvation at Pacolet and Clifton. Our citizens were indignant when they read state? ments that are not entitled to'credence. Today is the first. day when trains could go from this place to Clifton. A carload or two of clothing and sup? plies was sent down, and the distri? bution began at once in a most sys? tematic manner. Special committees were appointed at each of the three Clifton Tillages, and in a most rapid and orderly way supplies were given out. Those who lost everything when their houses were washed away were suppled with clothing, food and bed clothes. Mr. Shea, the superinten? dent, has a complete list of every family that occupied the houses that were destroyed. He will see that they areJTfully supplied with everything needed. Tomorrow the work of dis? tribution wi ll go on, so that all who are needy will be supplied. . The company store at Clifton has never been closed against any one who was in need of provisions. Besides that, the Clifton Company will pay out to? morrow about $25,000, due the hands for May and up to the disaster. There is no starvation and no suffer? ing at either mi IL There is dissatsf ac? tion. The Kev. W. J. Snyder, who has been a most active and sympathetic friend of the mill people, was advising them today to go at once to other mills. Some of them said : ' - Yes, you want to get us off so you can get ail ?hat money in Spartan? burg." The idea of some of the people -is that they, are to receive money. In that they are mistaken. Judicious committees will expend the money for clothing, so as* to set the people up as well or better than before their houses were destroyed. There is one element about the mills that is dissatisfied with that arrangement. Prof. Hogan, > who has been quoted as authority that the people were starving, states posi? tively today that he informed a re? porter that he had received some mon y and he handled it through the corn tany store, and that it was systema? tically distributed. Furthermore* he infirmed the reporter that the com? pany store was open to all who needed supplies. Mr. Williams could not be CDmmuniated with, but his son said that he was sure his father would deny the statements attributed to him. It was only last Saturday that the -dis? aster came, lt is not reasonable to suppose" that a thrifty, industrious p3op!e could be on the border of starva? tion in three days." At both the mills an excellent system of distribution has been organized. It is only a small per cent of the population that causes these exaggerated and vividly colored reports to be sent out. Lieut Heain, of Fort McPherson, ^Georgia, has been sent here by the Government to investigate conditions -at both mills tomorrow. We now have regular trains between Charlotte and Atlanta. A train from Asheville came down tonight.-News .and Courier. THE BRE?THITT COUNTY TRIAL Strong Evidence Against Jett and White thai they Murdered Marcum. Jackson, Ky, June 10.- At the re? quest of Mrs. Marcum and others Cur? tis Jett and Thomas White were kept in separate cells last night, and the latter was despondent when the prisoners were brought into Court to? day and turned over to the elisor. All those entering the Court were search? ed, and none were allowed to enter with weapons. When Court convened Attorney John Oneal, for the defence, moved to set. aside the entire jury panel as ir? regular. The motion of the defence was over? ruled and twenty-five witnesses were called for each side Commonwealth Attorney Byrd, in outlining the case, promised to prove that Jett entered a side door of the Court House just prier to the shooting and returned by the door immediately after the second door. He said he would prove White and Jett entered into a conspiracy to kill Marcum, and that Jett fired the shots, this having been seen by witnesses whom he would produce. He would prove that Jett told persons he did it, but that some? body^ money paid for it. B. J. Ewen was the first witness called. He said he was standing beside Marcum when he fell. Tom White passed by them, looked at Marcum, passed just outside of the door and looked back, then passed on Marcum said: "I am afraid of that fellow. He means to do me harm." An instant later witness heard a pistol crack. Marcum, who had his arm on witness's shoulder, released his hold and dropped to the floor, exclaiming: "Oh, Lord, oh. Lord; they have killed me." Witness looked back and saw Curtis Jett with a pistol in both hands. I then fled out of the door," he said, as I thought it was I he was after, when a second shot was fired. I saw Jetc come out of the side door, walk around and look into the door where Marcum lay." Ewen said he helped carry Marcum across the street to Dr. Kash's office, where he died in a few minutes. He saw Jett and White together a few minutes afterward. Ewen was pale and nervous. He was cross-examined by Attorney Golden. Ewen's mental condition for the past two years was questioned and there were rumors of his threatening to commit suicide. When questioned about this matter Ewen denied each allegation. The cross-examination was long and severe, but did not affect his testimony at any point. "Miss M. E. Braddon has just pub? lished her sixty-fourth novel. It is al- j most terrifying to think what might have happened if Miss Braddon had been the wife of Cyrus Townsend Brady," observes the Chicago Kecord Berald. REBUILDING THE MILLS. Pacolet and Clifton Companies Prepairing for Business. A Charlotte cotton mill man and engineer, says the Charlotte Ob? server, was asked for an opinion as to ultimate result of the disaster on the Pacolet and Clifton companies. He answered: "Both companies will prob? ably restore^the injured properties, or the equivalents of what they were. Both corporations are rich and have large surpluses. While the disaster has been very great both companies have good properties yet standing and these can be j>ut in operating shape at slight cost. The salvage will be much greater than would appear now in the light of the reports of dis? aster, not that these are necessarily exaggerated, but it is natural that first reports should schedule what is lost rather than what may be saved. "Would the company want to rebuild on the-same site?" he was asked. "This flood was evidently the re? sult of a cloudburst and would in all probability never occur again at the same place," be replied. "If the mills had been destroyed by lightning it would be no use to rebuild at an? other place to escape lightning a second time. It is about the same with this sort of a flood. ' ' ?< Suppose the losses are so great that the companies cannot afford to rebuild, then where would the stock? holders stand? "It is a little early to speculate about the measure of a loss that is as yet undeterminable for want of data," was the reply. "Assuming, however, that the worst reports made up to this time are true, both these great cor? porations have yet a lot of good as? sets. The worst that could happen would be reorganization on .some plan that would reduce the stock to be proportionate to these assets, It might require a sale to accomplish this, but on an equitable agreeement as to .treatment of all stockholders alike and fairly there should be no trouble.. On the basis of the worst re? ports being true, the stocks of these corporations would still be worth ful? ly one-half or more of their present values. To whatever extent reports are exaggerated, they should be worth proportionately more. Late quota? tions make Pacolet stock worth 185 and Clifton 177. I think the chances are good that both these stocks will be worth par and above when the account of the damage is made up. It may require some new money to save the best values, but "if it does, there are strong men back of both com? panies and the best values will surely be saved. The disaster seems now to be very great, but much property is left in good shape, the salvage will be large, and the men having the corportions in charge, and their friends, have large means, great capability and much courage. I have no doubt that the corporations will be well on their feet again in less than a year. " "What about Glendee?'? "The reports are, of course, yet in? complete, but from what I have seen of Glendale they will have it running all light in twenty to forty days." WARSHIPS SENT TC CHILI. Rear Admiral Sumner Ordered to Valparaiso. Washington, June 8.-Upon the re? ceipt from the American agent in Chili to the effect that the situation at Valparaiso is unsatisfactory owing to the recent social disturbances there the state department this afternoon re? quested the navy department to dis? patch a ship to that point in order that American interests may be fully protected in the event of an emergency. Cable orders were sent to Bear Ad? miral Sumner, commanding the North Atlantic station, to proceed at once with his squadron now at Montevideo through the straits of Valparaiso. Hear Admiral Sumner's fleet con? sists of the protected cruiser New? ark, flagship; protected cruiser De? troit and the gunbotas Gloucester and Montgomery. Orders also were telegraphed to Ad? miral Glass at San Francisco to be ready for sea, and in the event that Admiral Summners' fleet is unable to get under way at once the Pacific squadron may be ordered to Chilian waters in its stead. It is understood the British govern? ment intimated a wish that American ship go to Chilean waters because of the disturbances there in connection with the recent dock strike. What the Militia Wi!! Get. Washington, June ll.-The war de? partment today made announcement of the provisional apportionment to tb" States and Territories officially of 50 per cent of the 82,OOO,COO appropriated by the Act for arming and supplying the militia to correspond with the re? gular army. Following are some of the allotments : Alabama, $24,340, Florida $12,310, Georgia $38,459, Kentucky $17,340, Lousiana $18,753, Maryland $16, 248, Mississippi $12,477, North Carolina, $15,186, South Carolina $24,065, Tennessee $14,597, Virginia 17,936. The C. N. & L. Trestle Repaired. Columbia, June 12.-The Columbia, Newberry and Laurens railroad is now running its trains out of the city over the Columbia and Greenville road as far as Prosperity. The work of repair? ing the trestle which was so badly damaged is a herculean task. The river in its rush washed out its bed 12 feet deeper than the spot on which formerly stood the benches which went down in the flood. This space extends for 250 feet and it will be necssary to erect two-story benches, as it were, one on top of the other. The work is being pushed rapidly under the efficient supervision of Road master G. E. Bruner of Sumter, and it is expected that traffic will be re? sumed over the trestle this afternoon. ??nj- ??.? -?an?^ A Serious Mistake. E. C.

A Lengthy Session at Which Many Mat? ters Were Discussed. Council Chamber, Sumter, S. C., June 10th, 1903. Council held a regular meeting at 6 o'clock p. m. Present-Mayor A. B. Stuckey, Aldermen W. B. Boyle, D. J. Chandler, G. W. Dick, W. H. Ep? person, G. F. Epperson, E. W. Hurst, J. A. Schwerin. Absent-Alderman P. P. Finn. Mr. F. E. Davis appeared before council and requested reduction of Peddler's License for himself and an assistant. On Mr. Chandler's motion the request was refused as Mr. Davis is selling goods in competition with local merchants. Council directed that no concessions be made at any time to transient dealers or peddlers offering goods that are sold by mer? chants of the city. Minutes of May 29th and June 8th Were read and approved. * * Mr. Hurst stated that he meant no reflection on St. Supt. White when he complained at the last regular council meeting of idling among street hands. He merely meant to impress upon Council that Mr. White cannot super? intend all the work going on at the same time in different parts of the city. A second letter from the Sumter In surnace Agency was read in reference to appointment of a flue inspector, and was referred to the committee in charge of the matter which was grant? ed further time. ^ . Notice of 25 per cent increase of in? surance rates from Sumter Insurance Agency was received as information. On motion of Alderman Dick the Clerk was directed to renew all city insurance for five years as present poli? cies expire. On motion of Alderman Dick one copy of the Muncipal Journal was or? dered taken and kept on file in City Clerk's office. Letters were received from Fire De? partment Chiefs of Jackson, Miss., and Chillicothe, 0.> highly recommending the Seagrave's combination Hook and Ladder Truck and chemical engine as a valuable fire fighting machine. A sealed proposal for sale of a combina? tion truck and chemical engine was presented from Chas. T. Holloway & Co.., Baltimore, Md. Mr. Schwerin objected to . opening the Holloway. proposal for the reason that it had been made with.knowledge of the-Sea grave's offer and was therefore unfair competition. *On motion of Alderman Dick the Clerk was directed to return the Holloway proposal unopened. Mr. G. F. Epperson moved to countermand the order to the Sea graves Co. Seconded by Mr. Boyle. Mr. Chandler expressed the belief that the Seagraves machine is the best, but thinks no machine should be pur? chased at this time-that can wait a while: improvement of streets is a more urgent necessity. Mr. Boyle didn't think the matter had been con? sidered carefully. The machine could not be accommodated in one of the Hose Co's, buildings. Some prelimin? ary arrangements ought to be made first, and Council should take more time for arrangements. He is a friend of the fire department and willing to do all that is necessary. Mr. Hurst declared the machine ought not to be bought n^w. The purchase price is but the beginning of expense. An additional building will be needed. Mr. Schwerin said that all these things had been duly considered al? ready, and the purchase of the machine would not add to running ex? penses of the department. People out of reach of the fire hydrants are en? titled to protection. The purchase of this machine is for the protection of life and property-more important in his judgment than improvement of streets. Alderman Dick wants the machine for convenience and safety of the firemen, who are compelled to take many hazardous risks for lack of lad? ders. The city can afford this addi? tion to its fire apparatus-needs it bad? ly and should buy immediately. The Mayor suggested that a com mitttee of Council should go to some other city, make inquiries and test different machines and then buy from the lowest bidder. Call was made for a vote on Mr. G. F. Epperson's motion to cancel the order to the Seagraves Co. Mr. Schwerin moved to amend by adding that "during the remainder of its term of office this Council will not again consider the question of buy? ing this apparatus for the fire depart? ment. Mr. Hurst seconded the amend? ment. The substitute was lost as fol? lows: Yeas: Dick, Schwerin and W. H. Epperson. Nays: Boyle, Chandler, G. F. Ep? person, Hurst and the Mayor. The motion to countermand prevail? ed. Yeas: Boyle, Chandler, G. F. Ep? person, Hurst and the Mayor. Nays, Dick, Schwerin and W. H. Epperson. On motion of Alderman Dick the Clerk was instructed to return the Seagraves proposal with the statement that the purchase will not be made at this time. Mr. Hurst explained that on the impulse of the moment he had second? ed Mr. Schwerin's motion not to con? sider again the purchase of a Hook and Ladder Truck and Chemical engine. But on reflection he conclud? ed that it would be unwise for Council thus to tie its bands for the future and therefore voted against the sub? stitute. E. I. Reardon, Health Officer, called attention to the muddy condition of the lot at rear of No. 2, Hose Co's building and asked that it be put in good condition. Referred to the com? mittee of public works with power to act. Mr. Hurst for the finance commitee reported that they had ordered pay? ment of the bill for police summer uni? forms, but he did not think their pur? chase had been authorized. Mr. Sch? werin and Mr. W. H. Epperson stated that the police committee had not ordered the uniforms. The matter was referred to the police committee to inquire and report. The action of the finance committee in ordering payment was approved. Mr. Boyle presented a request from Col. T. V. Wash for drainage of a pond near his residence in Southern part of the city. Referred to commit? tee public works to consider and report. Mr. G. F. Epperson spoke of the valuable services Supt. of Streets White is rendering the city, for which in his opinion Mr. White is not suffi? ciently paid. On Mr. G. F. Epper son's motion the Council increased Mr. White's salary to $75 per month from June 1st. The Supt. of Streets, having re? ported an accumulation of worn out shovels and other old tools, the com mi.tee of public works was authorized to dispose of them as they think proper. Alderman Dick stated that complaint had been made of the recent resolution of Council by which bicyclists are pre? vented from riding on Hampton Avenue from Main street to Sumter street and moved that the limit be placed at the middle of that block until the street is put in condition to be nsed by bicyclists. Seconded by Mr. Boyle. Mr. Schwerin declared that this is one of the most dangerous places in the city for bicycles. Accidents had already occurred there, and Council had wisely ordered bicycles off the sidewalk at that point. There being only a narrow walk on one side of the street and none on the other. It would in his judgment be wrong to undo what has been done. On his and Mr. Chandler's motion to lay Alder? man's Dick resolution on the table there was a tie vote. There was also a tie vote on the original motion of Alderman Dick. The result being that the prohibited limit re? mains unchanged. Clerk and Treasurer's report for May and a bill of Lukens Lumber Co., for $11.49 were referred to the finance committee. Council then adjourned. Wedgefield News Notes. Wedgefield, June 12.-Rain is the order of the day and crops of all kinds are getting in a deplorable condition. Our town folks contributed $24 for the relief of the flood sufferers of Spartanburg which was sent on yester? day. Cadets F. M. Dwight, Jr., and F. E. Thomas, Jr., are at home from Clemson College.

Mrs. Barrow .'hompson that lives at the Clifton mills, but for? tunately they lived [higher up on the hill and was not caught in the floods. Miss Bessie Kelley who has - been visiting in Sumter has returned home. In some of the reports of the recent wreck, it seems as if no credit is given Dr. M; L. Parier for the prompt ser? vice given the injured. As was stated in the staff correspondence to the State, Dr. Parler and Rev. S. O. Cantey. were among the first to arrive at scene of accident, their attention being attracted by the continued blow? ing of whistle. Before the special train from Flor? ence arrived with medical aid, Dr. Parler had made the rounds and dress? ed the wounds of all the injured. For the Flood Sufferers.

All persons, either as individual or societies, who may have in their pos? session any of the original rolls or re? cords of any kind pertaining to the Confederate soldiers who served in the army or navy from this State will please send such rolls or records to me at Columbia, S. C. The war department at Washington, D. C., wants the use of these rolls and records in order to compile a ros? ter and history of the men who served from South Carolina in the Confed? erate army and navy during the war between the States. The department will take good care of all rolls or*records and return them as early as possible. I am authorized by the war department to.collect these rolls, etc., and I will give a receipt for them if desired. The utmost care will be taken of them and they will be returned promptly when the de? partment has finished with them. Most respetfully, M. P. Tribble, Com. of Confederate Rolls. Record and Pension Office War De? partment, Washington City, March 28, 1903. Colonel M. P. Tribble, Anderson, South Carolina. Dear Sir: The department having been advised by Governor Heyward on the 25th instant that he will be glad to cooperate with it in the compilation of the recently authorized roster of the officers and men of the Union and Confederate Armies, and that he has designated you to confer with me rela? tive to the details of the work, I beg leave to submit the following sugges? tions for your consideration : A considerable collection of the rolls of South Caroilna Confederate organizations is now in the possession of this department." While that col? lection does not by any means show all the names of the officers and men who were in the Confederate service from South Carolina, and while it does not show the complete military histories of those whose names it does show, it is hoped that the list of names and the histories of individual officers and men can be made much more nearly complete by record evi? dence obtainable from other original rolls that may now be in the posses? sion of the State of South Carolina, or of historical societies, memorial associations and individuals of South Carolina and other States. The legislation authorizing the com pilaton of the roster is construed by the Department to restrict it in mak? ing the compilation, to the use of original records made during the war period, and to preclude the use of printed or manuscript copies or com? pilations made subsequently. For this reason, and in order that there shall be no ground for doubt as to the accuracy of the proposed roster, the Department will be unable to use in the compilation any of the rosters that have heretofore been published, but must in all cases seek the original records upon which those rosters were based. You will readily see that, in order that the compilation now in progress shall be as nearly complete as it is possible to make it, it is essential that the war department shall obtain the temporary loan, for the purpose of copying, of any original official rolls, lists or other documents that show the names of Confederate officers and men that are now in the custody of State officials, historical or memorial associa tons, public or private libraries, or that are in the possession of private citizens. It is impracticable for the war de? partment to communicate with the various holders of these scattered re? cords, and consequently the depart? ment must rely upon each State to col? lect, by loan or otherwise, such re? cords of its own or other Confederate organizations as may be obtainable within the State, and to forward the collection when completed to this de? partment, by which the records will be copied and returned to the State with the least possible delay. Of course, the express charges incident to shipping records to and from the State will be defrayed by the depart? ment. If it occurs to you that a different plan from that indicated herein should be adopted, or if during the progress 3f the work you can make any sugges? tion tending to facilitate or improve it, you will confer a favor upon the 3epartment and myself by advising ne freely and fully with regard to your news.
