SOLDIER* ACCUSED OF RAPE. Tale, by Young Woman at Military Camp. Dearer. Aug. Jl.?A news special Laramle. Wyoming, today says while every effort has been made by the authorities at Camp Emmett Crawford, the military manoeuvre ?round, to keep the fact secret. It transpired today tb t on last Sunday snots her? of an artillery battery as? saulted a young woman, leaving her bruised and unconscious on the id. According to the story, a i-com missioned officer of the list rnt v %s oscortlng the young in, when ths pair were attacked thirty-two men of the artillery bat The officer was beaten Into Insensi? bility with a gun. and the unfortunate young woman was dragged to an Isolated spot aad mistreated. After lying half dead for hours the victim of the outrage revived, erawled to a mouse seme distance aasy and told story. Twenty-six men, alleged an hive been Implicated la the out Tag*, are under arrest and are chain ad together in the camp prison. They awe under constant guard to prevent lynching as sentiment in the camp Is against them. B \ of the al laats escaped, but three of appreher/ded at Rawtlns Ths atsmr thtee are still at I on the ?

Taking the orlgtoal publication re? aper ding thai matter (aa article in a wester yssnwal > as a basis, a num laar of Jeadtag papers have built up ^wonderful ofotuaee of the future of Steaming In wheat when this wonder fa) aead U distributed widely. With wUhsng to detraet from tVese [ht forecasts afforded our farmer*, per. it hi well to wait and see If the wheat esed so providentially dis? covered In that land of riches? Alaska ?vU of and by itself do all that Is -claimed for It The average yield p*r of wheat In thts country last was 14 bushels; the highest av yteld ever gathered for the en? tire country was 16.1 bushels. In 1900. and the average of the past ten years IS.! bum.els The average In years In England has run to 25 lels. and some phenomenal yields of r.s te 00 bushels per acre have been reaped on the virgin lends of eastern Washington and western Idaho. To get a yle'd of ISO bushels per acre an is i is a vast advance upon the best that has ever been done before, and w/hlle everyone Is willing to concede gjteat \trtues to seed alone, It seems almost beyond belief to ask one to Imagine eeed by Itself will make such a> dinVreace In yield possible.

Soil eahuustion of a klni never before own wou'd seem Inevitable. but iimciO people would naturally In? fer that the willing soil would be ex? isted before the first crop was gar The fact Is that something else g| the mere seed muxt enter Into ths production of wheat at the phe? nomenal rats described. It would be ereil for tke "agricultural editors" of les'^g city dsllles In New Turk ofi.or large centers to go slowly, they unwittingly lend themselves to some new "mummy wheat" hoax, erhtrh will leave their rural readers poorer.

Fishermen?some of them?say evftsh csn be made to bite In Great hay snd on the banks of Fire r.d. New York, if a violinist is along and he Is kept playing an haur The Ii lack Fleh Banks. We have Just had a charming trip. Mr. Editor, to the Black Fish Banks, which lie out to the ocean ten miles from shore, and a few miles south of the great Port Hoyal Inlet. Last faM, two or three of us from Sumter, in? cluding Purdy and Burns together with several Beaufort friends, at? tempted the same trip on a sailing craft; but contrary winds and a tempestuous sea drove us back before we reached the happy fishing ground. The chief incident of that trip was the sea-slcknes:* of the Sumter con? tingent. It was a sight not to be de? sired, to 'ook upon the grave and rev? erend fishermen throwing up every? thing, including good name and rep fgpatlon, together with socks and patches fajm their pants. Governor Vance said, w hen he crossed the ocean once, he threw up his seat In congress. All this and more hap? pened on that November cruise. A clerical friend of mine lay apparently dead on the deck, with sea water and bilge water streaming about him, to all of which ha gave no heed, and seemed not to care. Sea-sickness re? gards neither caste nor character. It makes the tall, the proud, the rev? erend head as low as the deck will admit. It compels one to disregard and violate all proprieties and hold In contempt every rule of etiquette. The sense of awful Internal misgiving generates a llvaly dlsgu?t for every? thing beneath the rolling skies, In? cluding home, friends, kindred and food, and the only surviving source of satisfaction Is to He with closed eyes and shut mouth, cherishing the feeble hope that the world will come to an end within the next half hour. And yet within an hour after the ship stops and the foot strikes the shore, a man laughs at his own sickness and makes sport of the fact that he has been lying In bilge water on the deck. On the last trip, being distrustful of a sailing vessel, and resaesneering that we failed to reach the banks on ; a former occasion, we hired a steam ' tug. ajid set out at S.SO a. m~ By 7.40 we were on the bosom of the deep outside the bar and two of eur party were enjoying very poor heafstt, with heads hung far out over the gunwale ? of the vessel, and a storm of apheav- , Ing disturbance raging wltftan* We ; had a breakfast aboard of bacon and j eggs, homtny and coffee, prepared- by ! the steward of the tug. Severn out of nine of us partook freely, and were endowed with sufficient gift of reten? tion to keep* what we had eeaasn By 8. SO. three hours after starting, we ' cams to the hanks, and then the sport ' began. A half bushel of shrimps, , caught the evening before, and pre? served In Ice. were divided Bearing us In woodsn hatter dishes, suenr as are , used by the merchants who sell but? ter. The water Is about forty feet . deep, and almost a half pound*of lead Is necessary to sink the line rapidly. Above the lead, fastened to short cords, two hooks are attached, so that , the pull of the fishes agahsst the hand and not' against the had. The black fish seemed to be all at home I when we sailed. Scarcely did the lead ever touch bottom before one felt the fl pu 1 of the fish, and as often as oth- I erwlse, tbe fisherman found, on pull-1 lug In his line, thst each hook had a 1 fish. Time after iXmXX however, the fhth adroitly stole away with the bait wfthout being snared by the I hook, and then came the long; lift upwards In order to renew the bait. Pulling the line up through the fingers, which were kept wet and soft by the salt water, made '.he hand sore, arid in addition to this was an occasional sting from the fin of the Ash, so that after three hours of combined work and sport we were willing to discon? tinue the operation. In order to pre? serve our catch, we had carried Ice. Of the fish large enough for table use. we packed away 346 In a barrel with crushed Ida, In addition to these we had 40 or more fried or cooked into a great pot of chowder. The four boat hands had a separate pile of over 20 fish, so that our total catch was about 600?most of them being black Ash, though there were a few skipjacks, pcrgils and sheephead. At 2.30, dinner was announced, and while we were eating, thegshlp began her return trip to Beaufort. The sea was on g??d beh;tvlor all day. Nothing but the ordinary swell?the everlast? ing ?Unk and fall of the water-*?the breathing of tke deep?gave motion 10 the boat. A wind from the south? east fanned our faces and kept us cool, and the two who got sick did ?*o all because thev were not ser?,-worthy. One of them admitted that even In his bath-tub he had to keep quiet lest this mal de mar come upon him. Be? cause of this, he admitted, he did not bathe as frequently as he should. I have some doubts as to his truthful? ness about the sickness, though what he soys about Infrequent bathing may be true. It Is true with some persons. We have unother trip In view? Ihtl time with a seine, and If It turns'out to be a suce?.?:. I'll report It for the Uta* Why Home one with a little money does not establish a fishery and a market In Ueaufort, I do no' know. I am sure there is no coast line in our state where opportunities are more abundant than here. C. C. Brown. Beaufort. August 20. Tribute to Dr. Gill Wylle. The friends of Dr. W. Gill Wylle of New York Will be Interested in the following which appear.-* in the August issue of The Broadway Magazine un? der the heading, "The Originator of Hospital Sanitation:" "Thirty years ago when physicians first talked of material law for the government of public hospitals, the usual coterie of scoffers that every In? novation brings forth found a conspic? uous victim in a young doctor who was advocating startingly systematic and arbitrary regulation of hospitals. The young physician who fought for his ideas on sanitation at the time was Dr. Wa'ter GUI Wylie, of New York specialist on abdominal surgery. His fight has been successful, too. Today If you have occasion to visit the hospitals of our larger cities, you cannot help but feel that you are in the grip of a system, as arbitrary as It Is comprehensive, which is no re spector of persons. It is the syjrtem of sanitation. The phenomenal de? crease In hospital deaths Is the result of its rigid enforcement. Dr. Wylle Is an expert in the science of sanitary engineering, and evidences of his pe? culiar talent can be seen in almost every big hospital of the country. He has devised hospital systems, and his essays on the subject of hospital or? ganization have been read by hospital superintendents all' over the world. As an important part of his system of sanitation, Dr. Wylle has built up a chain of training schools for nurses. In New York Dr. Wylle took a lead in part in organizing the Bellevue Training schools, and v ever since its establishment in 1173 has been its I leading spirit. Abdbmlnal surgery 'has been successfulr> practised only during the last generation, yet Dr. Wylle has taken cases rejected by I other surgeons as impossible of cure and turned out sound men In 06 out of 100 cases. Of course, such prac? tice has netted him a handsome for? tune. He Is said to be worth close to a nrfflfon dollars, while Hi? income I per year Is estimated to uV not less than 160,000. "Dr. Wylle Is a Southerner, As a boy* ho attended a villager school In Chester county, South CaroHfns, until his ICtfr year, when he < rrr?red the arr#r of the Confederacy with the rank of lieutenant He has1 been es? tablished In New York since practical? ly rJhr dose ef the war. .
