L SHATTERED. I^ii??ee of fsYestig&tien Ligist Discreditable the Besar? sf Gen. rotation and Rapid Pro? ton Ose to Hired Press Recalled From Philippines to Testify. B^asbing^on, Nov. 30.-Major Gen Rai John Ii. Brooke, retired, formerly Bovsriior General of Cnbpa, gave Re&naony today before the Senate fflfeaimittee on military affairs, wb'ch HHj*&zged insubordination against Gen. W??T'ard Wood. Gen. Brooke v?as be? fore, the committee more than two Boars and occupied the entire time in j^Hp*? o? Gen. Wood's conduct at Hfes?niag?. The -witness offered in sup Kort of his statements many dcca rasents taken from records at the war H^jp&rtment and several papers from Mfepersonal collection* At the close H*? Ms testimony a member of the com- ? H6a|t*ee said that it is probable that j ^ood will have to return from ? Bfeb? Philippines and testify. HHHp of the charges made by Gen. j Bp^ro-'jke is that Gen. Wood violated the Hosder which required him in making Kiaapro vernen ts in Santiago to submit g?stimates to the Governor General. Rj^evidence of this violation Gen. Blbdoke called attention to the build barracks at Santiago near the Sofero, without Gen. Wood first having : ven notice to the department at 212a. Gen. Brooke said also that Kpeu. Wood continually sent communi ???s?ions co the war department over the E'iiead of his commanding cScer. The " .ness assured the committee that ie cered nothing for the ignoring of B ?.is authority; but said that the pro 1 iceecing had been detrimental to mili I tary discipline. fe Gen. Brooke called to theattenion of |#tfce committee, in support of an allega if-'iiosi that Gen. Wood had neglected to I work in harmony with the military .' .government, the master of Gen. Wood's | attitude "toward the newspapers at j . ?hntiago, which. repeatedly made attacks on Gen. Brooke's administra? it i?on. Gen. Brooke read a number of JHpees. attacks and also his recommenda? tion to the war department that the papers be suppresed unless they desist? ?a -Onfc of. the extracts from the Inde? pendencia, pnbilshed at , Santiago, J which was read, was a bitter denunci: pa?ion of J3gn. Wood, under the caption : "God Save Cuba." The article was -asedr on Gen. Brooke's order for the ?cn??rilisa^on cf the affairs of the - . J^IanS, ay ;which receipts from all cus oxn>: b?pmg were ordered> sent to ^ Hav&?a? 3Bbe article, among other . ...? -w' ' J- ?? < . thirds,-s'ai? t0** if carried.^nto effect, fpfhe 'order soon would prohibit the 0yecple. bf .'Santiago from breathing without premssicn from Gen. Brooke; l^that it was a matter of life and death to-the province cf Santiago to get the order rescinded. I Gen. Brooke read a letter, which be had sent.to the adjutant general of the war. department, asking that Gen. ?: "Weed be instructed to prohibit the : publication of such articles during the period cf military government. He also read Gen. Wood's reply to the ad? jutant general, which, the witness said, had been sent over the head of his superior officer, saying that freedom of speech, untrammelled crticism of the military government and absolute independence in all matters, was a necessary part of the education of the Cabans to fit them to conduct a liberal government. Gen. Brooke told the committe that 00 January 4, 1899, Gen. Wood with ! out consulting his tuperior officer, obtained permission to visit Washing? ton, even though be left in abeyance matters needing attention. Horatio S. Rubens, of New York, ?as before the committee at the morn lag session. His testimony tended to corroborate the statements made to the committee by Major G. E. Runcie, ia reference to the knowledge Gen. Wood is said to have bad of the Runcie magazine article criticising unfavor? ably the administration of Major Gen. Brooke as Governor General of Cuba. One of the most important state? ments made by Mr. Rubens was that Gen. Wood visited him after the pub? lication of the Runcie article, and that their conversation showed that Gen. Wood admitted that he told Runcie that the article put him (Wood) in an awkward position. The witness detailed the relationship between Gen. Wood and newspaper jrfen, saying it was understood that he attempted to use the newspaper men to exploit his own deeds. At the conculsion of Mr. Rubens's ! testimony a member of the committee j asked him his opinion of Gen. Wood's j veracity. He asked that the question j be- made more explicit, and was then j asked if he would be willing to accept j the word of Gen. Wood in any matter j in which the General had a personal j each circumstance?. Before Hr. Rubens was called a state? ment was made by Major Rathbone to the effect that the role that witnesses should not bring before the committee any matters that ivnolved hearsay evi? dence, had the effect of hampering him in bringing ont the force of his charges. Senator Proctor, announced that the role was improperly understood ?nd that, as chairman, he wanted to assure the witnesses that they should not be unduly hindered by judicial red tape. The committee adjourned until Thurs? day^ I . W1NHS60R? DAIRY "PROJECT. A Letter From Dr. f?esom, of Clemson College, Which Should Give Great Encouragement to the Projectors. The discussion of the establisment of a cheese factory at Winnsboro has brought forth the following letter from Dr. Nesom, of Clemson College, which was written in reply to a com? munication asking him in regard to the practicability of such enterprises in this section. His letter contains many practical suggestions that ought to.be helpful at this time when there : is a search for nsw enterprises for the farm as well as for the factory : "I am delighted to hear that the prospects for cheese factories in your section ara apod. 1 have frequently taken" occasion to remark that the principal reason why farms ali over the South are decreasing in fertility and value, as they are in Fairfield County, is that our sysem of agriculture forces the sale of field crops, instead cf animal products. If all that will do to feed animals were f?d'on the farms, where it is grown and ' the manure re? turned to the soi?, poor lands would soon be a thing of* the past, for it should be remembered that all clay and sandy lands in this section are susceptible to the highest state of fer lization. This is not true of prairie and lime lands.-, Before we can have cheese, factories we must have plenty of good dairy cattle, and before we can keep these cattle economically we must h<ave good pastures, hay meadows and grain fields to produce all the required food on the farm. "Some things produced may be ex? changed for others, as the exchange of cotton, cotton seed and milk for cotton seed meal. Some seem to doubt the ability of South Carolina farmers to produce feed in abundance. For the benefit of the doubters I will say that a Northern cattle man who recently visited this State told me that cattle could be grown here and maintained at half what they cost in the North. We have the three requisites for any stock country, namely, *a'good soil/ a warm climate and jri?nty of rainfall.. There is no doubt that dajry cattle are, the most profitable cf any class if they arc properly handled and a ready market is found for their pr?duct*. The dairy man near thb city,/where he can sell fresh, sweet milk, gets mest out of thc business, while those in the country and at small towns are forced to resort to the manufacture of butter and cheese, so as to get; the prcdncts in a condensed form to enable bin. to trans? port them to distant markets at the cheapest possible freight rate. Butter will yield about half as much as the sale of sweet milk, but when the cheese factory comes along it will pay as much for the milk, as it will bring it made into butter, and the dairyman is relieved of all the trouble of making and marketing his butter Experts claim that milk in this State will make more cheese and better cheese than the same amouut of milk will in the North. Ti)is is no doubt true, and is possibly due to the fact that mnch of the milk' here is gotten from Jersey and other dairy breeds that give a rich milk, to favorable climatic con? ditions and luxuriant feeds. Dairy cattle in the rural districts can only be made profitable by using the dairy products in the manufacture of butter and cheese, and if they cannot be used it is better to discard them altogether and breed beef cattle, so that the animals themselves may be sold for food at a profit.

What the Lawmakers and Office Hunters Are Doing-Democrats Can Only Watch and Criti? cize the Republicans. Washington, Nov. 30.-Cuban affairs have been much discussed in the Sen? ate. In a speech in opposition to the. present reciprocity hill, which will be voted upon December 16, Senator Car mack of Tennessee, charged President Roosevelt with hypbcracy, in his mes? sage which urged the ratification of the Cuban treaty. "The President told us," he said, *4that we must ratify it to save our honor and help our trade. It was an opportunity to worship God and get our money back ; to be dili? gent in business while serving the Lord. He presented the Cuban treaty in the double aspect of a bargain counter and a missionary box. Yon put a nickel in the slot for sweet charity's sake and get more than your rnonej's worth of chewing gum and Cigars. Happy is the Republican Ad? ministration that was driven by a sel? fish motive to a righteous deed and could perioim a Christian duty with? out exercising any of the Christian virtues. It is another story when honor and selfishness come into con? flict. " He said six months ago a cry was raised, "Roosevelt, reciprocity, ; and revision. " What has become of the last two members of ' this blessed trinity? The trinitarian propaganda had been overwhelmed by the Moham? medan war cry of, "Allah, Allah, Roosevelt is great and the Senator from Massachusetts is his prophet." The Senator closed his speech with a plea for tariff revision. The action \oi the Senate in post? poning the date of voting on the re? ciprocity bill until December 16 is looked upon as an affront to the Presi? dent for his having called the extra session. When the Senate expressed informally a desire to adjourn before the regular session, which commences on December 7, Speaker Cannon re? fused to consent to an adqjournment until action was taken on the measure for which the extra session was called. As neither branch of Congress can ad? journ for more than three days without, the consent of the other, the House will thus force the Senate to remain in session. Representaive Williams, the democratic leader, has announced his minority committee appointments and it is believed that Speaker Cannon will give ont the committee list in time to do a week's work before the regular session begins. Mr. Williams in a speech in the House, censured the majority for forcing Congress to meet without allowing the transaction of business. . Former President Cleveland has quieted for ever -his own presidential boom, and those who favored him are transfering their efforts to furthering the chances of Judge Alton B. Parker of New York. Mr. Cleveland said in an open letter, "I .have not for a moment been able, nor am I now able to open my mind to the thought, that in any circumstances or upon any con- j sideration, I should ever again become the nominee of my party for the presi? dency. My determination not to do so is unalterable and conclusive." As Mr. Clevealnd has staunch friends and bitter enemies in the democratic party, there is no doubt that his voluntary withdrawal from the race for the nomi? nation will advance the cause of har? mony in the party. The choice seems to have narrowed down to Senator Gorman, Representative Hearst and Judge Praker. Senator Hanna has frequently de- J dared that he does not want the re? publican nomination, but his friends, and especially many enemies of Presi- I dent Roosevelt, believe that he could be induced to accept it when the prop? er time comes. The Senator - and the President disagree on the nomination j of General Wood, which is a very im? portant question to each of them. The General is one of the President's clos- ! est friends and the failure of the Sen? ate to confirm his appointment would be regarded as a direct slight to the Chief Executive. Yet this is exactly ? what Senator lianna is trying his best to do. Senators Platt and Depew have ! now joined him, and this is part cause ! and part result of the quarrel in the republican ranks in New York, between Senator Platt and Governor Odell. Recognizing the danger of this quarrel to himself and to the party prospects in the state, the President summoned the two rivals to a White House con? ference. It is generally believed that the result of the conference was a union between the President and the Govern? or against the Senator, followed by a promise from Mr. Roosevelt that Gov? ernor Odell will get the federal patron? age for the state. Naturally Senators Platt and Depew objected to this. Senator lianna will support them, while they in turn will support him in preventing General Wood's appoint? ment to bc Major General, and may instruct their New York delegates to demand Hanna at the convention. It looks as if chances of harmony in the democratic party were increasing as rapidly as they are going in the other direction for the republicans.. John Sharp Williams, the minority in the House, sharply arraigned session without transacting any busi? ness, and if, as is expected, the Speaker announces the committees and gets the House down to business be? fore the regular session, the credit for it will be due the democratic leader. Mr. Williams said, "It is my idea, in my representative capacity, that the right of filibustering is a very sacred fright that ought to he preserved in tact for very important occasions, when it might be necessary, perhaps,.to rivet the attention of the country upon some great legislative wrong and that it ought not to be fritted away on small occasions. As far as the present interestng fight between the republi? can Senate and the republican House in concerned, we on this side have not much to say, except that it is not our fight." Mr. Williams also made such a strong plea for reciprocity with Can? ada that there is a chance of this be? ing made a party issue in the coming cmpaign. Senator Newlands' resolution invit? ing Cuba to enter the Union has been much debated in the Senate. Senators Lodge, Hale and^Platt, of Connecticut opposed the resolution, arguing that it would create distrust of the United States in Cuba, as such an invitation from our government would be looked upon as a command. It is believed that one of the objects of the repub? lican Senators was to allay the suspic? ions of the South American countries who are naturally alarmed at Presi? dent Roosevelt's attitude toward Col? umbia. Senator Carmack declared that the Cubans could take no alarm over Mr. Newland's resolation. "If they Tare alarmed, he said," it is because of the action of the United States iii using the navy of this country to as? sist a let of branch adventures in dis? emboweling au American republic. It is such conduct as this ou the part of our government that makes the Cubans and others suspicious of us." j When you want a pleasant purgative try Chamberlain's Stomach and L ver Tablet?.

The Springfield Republican save that when Daniel Webster's marketman had sued him for a long unpaid bill and got his money, he was so scared at his temerity that he stopped calling at the door for orders. The godlike Daniel asked him why, one day, and the man confessed that he supposed Mr. Web? ster would never trade with him again. "Oh," said Webster, "sue me as often ?s you like, but for heaven's sake don't starve me. " There was nevera time when the great man was not will? ing to owe as much as any body was willing to let him owe. It is said that the Riggs family have as a souvenir 'an unpaid note drawn by Daniel Webster and endorsed by Rufus Choate. ' M. Webster was a great man, but he had a weakness for running into debt, and a want of alacrity in paying his obligations. John C. Calhoun, on the other hand, had none of Mr. Webster's peculiar failings. The great South Carolina statesman was not only peerless in intellect, but highly moral in all of his dealings with his fellow man, and when he died, no man paid bim so grand a tribute as Daniel Webster. Before he died, Mr. Webster was not in harmony with the New England fanatical abolitionists and they abused him scurriously in prose and poetry. We do not know that the South will ever raise a stature to Daniel Webster, who was a glorious character despite his faults, but Gordon Clark declares that the day is coming when Massa? chusetts will erect a monument to John C. Calhoun. This, at present, seems impossible of realization, but stranger things than that have hap? pened in this changing and tumultu? ous world.-Augusta Chronicle. Another Grab Proposed.

Spacial to The State. Chesterfield, Nov. 23.-News reached here this morning of the lynching of Jim Nelson, a coal hlack negro, near Jefferson, this county, Saturday night. The news was received here very quietly and elicited little comment on the streets. Chesterfield county has here? tofore been clear of this kind of lynching and the illegal hanging of Saturday night is the second execu? tion to occnr within her borders in almost a half century. On Saturday afternoon, Nov. 15, an attempt was made to outrage the 7-year-old daughter of Miles W. Por? ter, a prominent farmer of the upper part of Chesterfield county, by Jim Nelson, a negro laborer employed cn Mr. Porter's farm. The girl and some smaller children were playing at a spring near the house when the attempt was made. They |ran to the house and gave the alarm and the purpose of thc brute was not accomplished. The negro took to the woods and early Monday morning a posse was organized and for several days scoured the woods and nearb}- swamps in search of him, bur without success. The father and brothers of the child continued the hunt and Saturday afternoon Mr. Will Porter came up with the negro at Maynard's saw mill near Catarrh, fie carried him to Jefferson and placed him in the guard house in the after? noon, and about 8.30 o'clock Saturday night Mr, Porter and Mr. E. C. Ingram started with the negro to Chesterfield to deliver him to the sheriff. When about three miles from Jefferson a couple of men appeared from out of the woods, presented re? volvers and ordered the men in the buggy to hold up their hands, which command was promptly obeyed. They were then ordered to drive on for about 200 yards, where a good healthy limb of a large blackjack hung invit? ingly over the road and the negro was dragged from th J buggy and Ingram and Porter were ordered to turn about and drive for what they were worth. About 20 or 30 men on horseback were congregated at this lonely spot and made quick work of their victim. A rope was placed around his neck and he was swung up and left hanging, while the knights of the cord rode silently away into the darkness. N. Q. Osteen, Jr., SURGEON DENTIST, OFFICE : No. 104 N.
