People ?f Oconee Csunty Boycot fkr? Local Telephons Company Because Rates Have Been Increased fro? $12 to $18 a Year . ~-- \ Anderson, March L-There is con? siderable dissatisfaction among the .subscribers of the Oconee Telephone company, which controls the ex? changes at Walhalla, Westminster, Seneca and Pendleton, and it is very probable that local companies will be organized at each- of those points. The Oconee company recently raised their rates, and many of the subscrib? ers have had their 'phones taken out, declaring that they, will do without the service rather than pay the rates demanded. * The price of ser? vice has. been raised $6 per year, making residence 'phones with the ont of town* connection cost $18, or the city service $12, while heretofore the rate has been $12 for all the ser? vice. The business 'phones hereto? fore cost only $18 fer ali the connec? tions, and the rates have beeirincreas ed to $24 per year, and anyone wish? ing the Bell service can have the same ; furnished at the rate of $36 per year, with all the connections that can be obtained thrfcngh the regular exchanges' of^he Oconee Telephone company, and in addition ? tbe lines to Highlands, Cashier's Vlaley, Horse Cove, Whit mire's and Russell's. Origin of Baltimore Fire. Baltimore, March 16.- The speeial commission named by local insurance people appointed to inquire into the origin of the late fire here, has formu? lated its "report. They find in substance that the fire originated from outside causes in the John E. Hurst v company's building. The. electric switches were cut off, the flow of gas was cut off at the met?is and the fires in the boxes of the boilers were shown to haye been drawn before the blaze started^ It is the theory of the com? mission that a lighted cigarette or cigar must have ignited inflammable material in the cellar which smoulder? ed until the firemen discovered the smoke and began work. It is suggest? ed that the opening of the doors caused a vent for the flames. Damage Suits. "There xs no better or .quicker way for the impecunious to get money in considerable quantities without con? sideration than by suing for damages on every and any occasion where they see an opportunity to fleece those who have money. The slightest slip-up in the speech or the slightest delin? quency on the part of corporators or individual manuafcturers or propriet? ors becomes the basis of a suit at law for damages, and the man who could not ia his whole lifetime make $20, 030 wants that much for being slightly injured by some alleged negligence of others.'Montgomery Messenger. -111.* ll? IJ Ililli ?? Costly Sanitation at Panama. Wash insten, March 16.-The house committee on interstate and foreign commerce today further heard Prot Wm. H. Barron tbe question of sanita? tion of the Panama canal route. The works of sanitation would be chiefly the construction of waterworks and a sewerage system for the cities of Panama and Onion and the drainage of the districts between those cities. He estiamtes the cost at $2,000,000. The completiou ol the canal, he said, could be accomplished in eight or nine yeax*..' Another Pension STUB.

Their Mines in Port Arthur Harbor Dangerous Only to Russians. Torpedo Boat Destroyer Sunk and Entire Crew, Save Four, Drown? ed by Explosion of Mine. Missionaries in Corea Foolishly Decline to Leave Scene of War While They May-Russian Officer Shot for Acting as Spy for Rossi ans. London, March 17.-A Renter News Agency telegram from Chefoo reports that the Russian torpedo boat de? stroyer Skori was biown np in Port Arhnr harbor yeserday by a displaced floating mine. The boat was utterly destroyed and sack immediately, only four members of the crew being saved. MISSIONARIES WARNED TO LEAVE. Washintgon, March 16.-United States Minister Allen cabled the state department from Seoul, under today's date, that the Cincinnati arrived yes? terday at Chemulpo with 23 Americans from Chinanspo. The minister an? nounced that the missionaries in the neighborhood of Ping YangThad refus? ed to send their women and children aboard the . Cincinnati, where they could be taken to a place of safety. The state department has made it clear to the missionary representa? tives in this eountry that in the case of actual war it cannot undertake to employ the United States army and navy in expeditions into the interior of a country which is the scene of war. If the missionaries remain after a proper warning the Unitedy States government cannot remove them, and they must take their chances with other civilians. Commander Mason of the Cincinnati notified the navy de? partment today that he had taken the 23 American refugees to Chefoo. SUSSIASPS TO INVADE COREA. Paris, March 16.- The Temps corres? pondent afc St. Petersburg asserts that a Russian army corps is deseoending from Vladivostock toward Corea. He adds that Port Arthur has a garrison of 30,000 men and is provisioned for a year.' The Russian ministry of marine, The Temps' correspondent further asserts, claims that Japan's losses since the opening of thb war are four cruisers and five torpedo boat .destroyers, and the machinery of a 10,000 ton battle? ship seriously injured. The correspondent- conlcudes his dispatch with asserting that the con? centration of Russian troops at Muk? den and Harbin is considered as terminating the danger from a Japa? nese landing in the notherrn part of the bay of Corea. RUSSIAN TRAITOR SHOT. St. Petersburg March 16.-Capt. Ivkov of the Manchurian commissariat service has been summarily courtmar tialed and shot for acting as a spy in the pay of the Japanese. When arrest? ed pn suspicion of espionage documents found in ivkov's possession lsft no doubt of the truth of the charges that ha had long been revealing military secrets to the Japanese. The tragic story became public through a simple announcement in the army organ to? day that Ivkov had been excluded from the service. JAPS HAVE THREE ARMIES. Paris, Masch 17.-The Tokio cor? respondent of Matin sends his informa? tion, which he says comes from reliable authority, concerning the Japanese situation up to March 10 : "The first army of 70,000 troops under Gen. Kuroki occupies northern Corea. The brigade landed at Gensan forms a part ot the second army of similar strength. The mobilization of the late, had been completed and the troops will sail shortly for an un? known destination. The mobilization of the third army began on March 7." STARK IS RELIEVED. St. Petersburg, March 16.-Official orders were published today relieving Vice Admiral Stark from the com? mand of the Port Arthur division of the navy, ostensibly on account of illness. No successor will be appoint? ed, Vice Admiral Makaroff having determined to serve as squadron com? mander as well as commander in chief of the entire Russian naval force in the far east. ?OREANS BELLIGERENTS. Seoul, March 16.-The Corean su? perintendent of trade at Kyong-Hung, os the Turnen river, has received a note from the general in command at Vladivostock saying that since Corea bas joined Japan, Russia considers Corea as belligerent and will act ac? cordingly. Thousands of Corean troops at Seoul will be sent to the north next week. The Japanese have ascetained defi? nitely that a strong force of Russian field artillery is on the north bank of the Yalu river and that earthworks have been thrown up. Advices from Chou-Ju, a town northwest of An ju, say that the people are in a state of panic owing to the treatment of women and the seizing of grain by Russians. SAW TWO DAMAGED SHIPS. Port Arthur, March 16.-Another passenger of the steamer Arguu, cap? tured by the Japanese off the coast of Corea Feb. 7, and taken to Sase bo, who returned here yesterday, declares that he saw two damaged warships towed into Nagasaki Feb. 26, one be? ing the Asuma(?) and the other a cruiser, said to be a flagship, hav? ing a heavy list. London, March 18.-The correspond? ent of The Daily Mail at Chefoo, who has just visited Chinampo, Corea, says: "On the way to Chemulpo we passed a constant succession of Japanese transports. Three thousand Japanese landed at Chemulpo at the end of last week." Th? correspondent adds that the Rus? sians are retreating across the Yalu river before the advance of the Japa? nese outposts. The Daily Mail's Wei Hai Wei cor? respondent learns that Viscount Aoke, formerly Japanese minister to Ger? many, is going to Seoul to establish practically a Japanese administration for Corea. Under date of March 17 the Chefoo correspondent of The Standard reports that provision trains are arriving hourly at Port Arthur, the railway be? ing, intact. The Daily Telegraph's Tokio corres? pondent, cabling March 17 asserts that the Russian fleet has returned to Port Arthur. If this is correct, the corres? pondent adds, it is evident from Rear Admiral Baron von Stackelberg's re? port that the Russian cruisers which left Vladivostock returned to that port -without an attempt having been made to unite the fleets, or if an attempt was made it was unsuccessful. The Chefoo correspondent of the Paris edition of the New York Herald cabling under yesterday's date asserts that a portion of the Russian fleet made several cruises within a radius of 50 miles of Port Arthur without finding any trace of the enemy. The foregoing dispatches are the only additional items of news appear? ing in the London newspapers his morning, with the exception of vague rumors of alleged movements of the opposing forces in the vicinity of the Yalu river. London, March 19, 1.30 p. m.-A Renter News Agency telegram from Chefoo reports that fighting between Russians and Japanese on the banks of the Yalu river has begun, but nc trustworthy reports giving details and results of the conflict have yet reached that place. The Russians claim to have made prsioners of 1,800 Japanese who were surrounded and forced to surrender after a fierce fight. London, March 19.-Again there is no news from the far east printed in this morning's papers, with the ex? ception of vague rumors of unsuccess? ful attempts of the Port Arthur and ; Vladivostock fleets to join hands. The Standard's Tien Tsin correspon? dent says that Pani Lessar, Russian minister to China, has renewed his protest against-the dispatch of Chinese forces outside the Great Wall, and in? timated that unless they are with? drawn Russia may be compelled to -'act on the assumption that China is aban? doning her neutrality in favor of Japan. The minister is also reported to have renewed his threat that on the slightest movement on China's part, Russian troops will march on Pekin. It is understood that in reply to this, the correspondent adds, China refused to recall her troops. The New Chwang correspondent of the Times, cebling under yesterday's date, asserts that there are no Japan? ese north of the Yalu River, and thai not any of their scouts have been seen there since the beginning of March. On the other hand, the correspondent says, the Russians are reported to have crossed to the south, leaving a small force to guard the river. FLEET LEFT VLADIVOSTOCK. Paris, March 19.- The Petit Paris ien's St. Petersburg correspondent ca? bles as follows : "I learn from a sure source that the Russian Vladivostock squadron has left port. The officials absolutely refuse to discuss the destination of the squad? ron. Seventy-two hours have passed since the ships left Vladivostock" THE SKORI MAY BE SAFE. St. Petersburg, March 18.-The ad? miralty has no confirmation of the re? ported loss of the torpedo boat destroy? er Skori off Port Arthur. THE VICEROY TO THE EMPEROR, St. Petersburg, March 18.-Under today's date. Viceroy A lexi eff cables to the Emperor from Mukden, as follows : "Gen. Mishtchento reports that Ping Yang is occupied by Japanese infantry with some guns, and that Corean carts are carrying their supplies. The cav? alry is not visible in large bodies and only isolated horsemen are seen. Their horses are poor. "Our patrols discovered the presence of the enemy's infantry on the banks of the Cheng Cheng river, five ve rets (about 3 1-3 miles) from An ju. The enemy opened fire, and killed one of our horses." Disastrous Forest Fires. Columbia, March 19.-Forest fires are raging around Columbia, doing enormous damage to the property of land owners, and destroying hundreds of feet of valuable timber. The fires are on the lines of the Seaboard and Southern roads and are supposed to have been started by sparks from the engines, although it is regarded as a little .peculiar that all of them should have started at once. On the Seaboard the fire started abont March ll, and has gone all through the counties of Kershaw, Richland and Lexington. In Kershaw the fire has spread toward the north, and a pas? senger on the south-bound train this morning stated that the fanners all along the line were fighting the spread of the flames. On the Southern, the fires are along the Charlotte road be? tween Blythewood and Columbia, hav? ing started about the lOtb, but so far no damage has been done the road's property. An attorney for one of the roads thia morning said that this meant a large number of damage suits would be filed against the roads in the various counties through which the roads passed. R. R. Woodside, second hand io the weave room of the Saxon mill, Spar tanburg, was seriously stabbed Thurs? day afternoon by Will Berry, a former employe of the weave room, but who at the time of the difficulty had no business in the mill. FRUIT CROP IS SAFE. But the Boy With the Gun is Get ting in His Deadly Work on the Farmers Bird Friends. Section Director J. W. B?usr Comments In an Interesting Way the Two Subjects. In the opinion of Mr. J. W. Baner, the section director, the frosts of this week did no damage whatever to the coming peach crops here or anywhere else in the State, with the possible exception of Edgefield connty, where ice formation- of the 11th possibly destroyed some of the earlier varieties wh*ck bloom early. The ' March cold periods have not been severe enough to injure the most delicate vegetables. The danger of freezes is not yet over, however, though there is no ground for any great alarm for the future in this section-so far as tem? perature is concerned. The freeze which occurred late in March, 1894, and which practically wiped out the orange and pineapple business in Florida, was an extraordinary occur? rence which may not be expected to come again in a quarter of a century or longer, if it ever comes again. The general outlook for a full crop of all kinds of fruit in this section is favor? able so far. What the insects will do for these crops later, however, is a matter that cannot be foretold. "Insects," said Mr. Baaer, "are the greatest of the farmer's enemies worms, grubs and scale insects of va? rious kinds. This condition may be said to be due to the steadily increas? ing prevalence of the small boy with the gun. These boys who are out shooting robins ought to be spanked every one of them. Every robin they kill is worth from $5 to $10 in the number of insects it would destroy if allowed to live. I mention the robin particularly because he is above all others an insect:verous bird, though of course all birds are more or less so. Birds are, therefore, the farmer's best .friends, . and unless more effective means are adopted by the legislature to protect them and encourage their propagation the insects will become increasingly victorious in their war on the growing crops. "If the birds had been let alone in the last decade there, would be enough of them here now to hold the army of insects in check. Nature is amply able to take care of herself. She has provided birds to hold these insects in check. To see people interfere with the scheme of nature with their eyes wide open and then to mourn over the consequences is one of the most pathetic sights I know of." Reverting to the appearance of frost this week, Mr. Bauer said that the freezing condition bad not held an hour and could not have harmed any? thing. Even as delicate a fruit as the banana could stand a temperature of 30 degrees over an hour without in? jury, and the lemon could, see the banana one' better both as to time and degree of low temperature. Mr. Bauer was asked why it is that forest growth as well as fruit trees are not killed outright by these pro? tracted freezes such as occur, for in? stance, at points as far south as North Carolina, where temperature of 20 degreess below zero is not unknown. "That such disasters do not occur," Mr. Bauer, answered, "is due- to the wise provision of nature that there is then no active sap in the trees. Yes, on cutting into the tree at that time you will see the ice ingrained as it were into the very fibre of the wood, but there is then nothing there but the wood itself scarcely. If such a freeze occurred when the sap was act? ive death would follow. Several years ago a severe late spring freeze occurred resulting in the death of forest trees throughout this and other States. On the other hand when the sap is active there is a certain amount of heat generated hy the activity of vegetable life that is able to resist .more or less severe freezes. "As to the effect of freezes on*the budding fruit trees there is another wise provision of nature which the matter you directed my attention to recalls. The buds are divided into several crops as if in anticipation of a freeze. Nature does not allow all of the bads to mature at once, but holds others in reserve in (case the first are killed. Nature is thus gen? erally able to reassert herself and bring out almost a full crop even if the first buds are caught and killed." The State. i- 11 - The mileage book law which re? quires the railroads to transport not only the purchaser of a mileage book but members of his family also, will become effective March 25. Dade City, Fla., March 17.-Safe blowers dynamited the safes of the Bank of Pasco last night and almost wrecked the building.

Ty-Ty, Qa., March 17.-Henry Wil? liams was probably fatally shot by G. S. Nelson here last nigh*. Both are prominent citizens of Worth county, Nelson having served several terms as sheriff. The shooting followed a quar? rel between the boys of the two fami? lies. Williams struck Nelson and the latter drew a revolver and fired. The governor offered a number of rewards Thursday for incendiaries. A reward of $100 will be paid for the arrest of the parties who burned the barn of Mr. W. R. Bishop in Barnwell county January 25th ; $100 for the par? ties who burned tbe store of Mr. J. T. Wideman in Greenwood county, February 24th. A reward of $100 was also offered for the arrest of Jim John? son, who murdered John Christie in Greenwood county Pit inst received. They will be gone soon, and hard to get more. II. G. Osteen & Co. DIG ROOSEVELT EDIT IT ? Latest Sensation About the Bris? tow Postal Reports. Washington, March 17.-Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow, in testifying before the Houi-e special ocmmittee on the postoffice report to? day, claimed for himself responisbjlity for only the first S?ven pages of the report, which was sent to the post office committee, and said that the other portions of the document were the work of otber officials of the de? partment. The clerk hire section, he said, was prepared in the office of the first assis? tant Postmaster General, and that part relating to leases, by inspectors and others, in his own' department. Mr. Bristcw's testimony threw con? siderable light on all phases of the in quiry. He practically cleared mem? bres of Congress from wrong-doing touching the clerk hire section of the report, by stating that it was the duty of the first assistant's office to ascer? tain the condition of the work in an office where an increase has been re? commended. Mr. Bartlette, of Georgia, asked Mr. Bristow if in determining thc three cases which Bristow had reported him? self as "technical violations of the statutes," he had not found it neces? sary tc review all of the cases included in the report. The answer was that certain inspectors-a half dozen-in his office had gone through the lease cases, and had selected the cases where it appeared from the record an exces? sive rental had been paid without pro? per reason, and such cases were in? cluded in a report, which was itself made the subject of an investigation. "Do you know whether or not this report came directly from the hands of the Postmaster General without going into some one else's hands for inspection or perusal before it was sent to the postoffice committee of the i House?" asked Mr. Bartlette. "I don't know. I have been told, but I have no knowledge of it," an ? swered Mr. Bristow. "Have you ever had any conversa? tion with the President that would ?lead you to believe"-asked Mr. Bart? lett "I don't think you ought to ask that," interrupted Mr. Bristow. "It is not within the scope of our investi? gation." "Well," broke in Mr. Bartlett, "we cannot get the President here, and there have been hints in the news? papers about thia" "Ought we not toinquire into whose hands it went?" asked Mr. Richard? son, of Alabama. "I understand Gen. Bristow to say he did not know. It would be (inly hearsay evidence, declared Chairman McCall. Mr. Bartlett withdrew the question. The questions of Mr. Bartlett, in? volving the President,, were not touch? ed on during the executive session of the committee held later. The committee adjourned until Mon? day. CAPT.

Berlin, March 16.-Letters frcin German Southwest Africa have ar? rived: here, giving details of the ghastly treatment of German settlers 113 of whom were killed outright or tortured to death in the District of Okahanja alone. Women outraged and dismembered, and with pieces of their bodies nailed to the doors of houses, and boys mutilated and left to die slowly were frequent spectacles. The expeditionary columns on com? ing in sight of a farmer's house would see the heads of its former occupants fastened to the door. . The sights appear to have excited the rage of the soldiers. The letters express longings for revenge and a de? termination, as one writer says, "to kill everything black." That causes some papers to urge the Government to telegraph instructions to CoL Leu twem, the Governor of German 'South? west Africa, that he order the soldiers to restrain themselves and conduct the war in a civilized manner. Col. ! Leutwein himself comes in for criti? cism, as it is alleged that he left in? sufficient numbers of troops in the ex? posed districts, and was misled by the temper of the natives, having fre? quently had at his own table chiefs who are now in rebellion, and who are wearing decorations and swords of honor bestowed on them by the Governor in behalf of the Emperor.
