ANDERSON, Aug. 29.?Mr. William Banks, for some time past editor of the Anderson Daily Mail will be editor of the Anderson Semiweekly Intelligencer under the latter paper's new management.

Gaujot of the First United States cavalry, says the New York Herald. All except Captain Ganjot went to Washington from the presidio ut San Francisco to receive the medals. They made their records In the Philippines on the Island of Putian in 1009, when a pearl pirate band, led by Jiklrl, who for years had terrorised the Philippine coast, was completely wiped out. Letter Told of Brave Deed. A -letter from a young lieutenant, which found Its way to the war department and later to the president was the direct Instrument In obtaining the rewards for these four heroes. Jiklrl, witn a band of about forty, all well armed, tiled to a cave, where for several hours they were besieged by the troopers. After a couple of days' waiting the attack on the stronghold was made. About it the letter says: "Eight Moros came rushing out, winging barongs right and left. I will never forget it as long as I live. "Every jump, it seemed to me. they went three feet in the air and covered about ten feet, first to one side and then the other, and with each jump the barong would come down with all a man's weight behind it Wilson was right beside the door and caught the nrst hhisd id the back or tbe neck, under tbe jaw and down to tbe back.

If It bud been the edge be would bave been cut in two. One man's band was slashed oil and several others cut more or less seriously before tbe Moros were killed. Very Crowded Yen Seconds. "1 don't suppose tbe wbcie tblng lasted ten seconds, but ! never want to see another ten like them. I saw one Moro's bead opened up like a cracked egg shell from a pistol bullet. This Is one of tbe many sights crowded Into those ten seconds." According to tbe reports furnished by Captain George L. Bryan, Sixth cava Iry. tbe officer commanding the troops In the tight.

ATLANTA, GA., Aug. 29.?"Old Bill" Miner, the veteran bank burglar and train robber, who is serving a twenty-year sentence at the state prison farm, near Milledgeville, and who had a life sentence hanging over him in the dominion of Canada, has given death a slip. Just as he has escaped from so many prisons and eluded so many guards "Old Bill" has side-stepped the Grim Reaper. Ten days ago the physicians at the prison farm announced that "Old Bill" had but two or three days to 1 i vp n t tho lnno-oof Wn woo ? .w..ftvo? ??jr ill with gastritis and was unconscious. But the aged convict did not share the apprehensions of his keepers. He informed them that he was not going to die, and it was his solid unwavering determination to live that pulled him through the attack, for he is now much improved in health, although the doctors do not believe he will ever be able to leave his bed again. The double shackles have been removed from "Old Bill's legs and he has been placed in a comfortable and cheerful room. He smiles when he notes the absence of the chains and anklets and jokingly remarks, that "It is well enough so, for I am too weak to even walk across the room much less to make a getaway." ~uia Burs" present ailment dates from the time he made his escape from the prison farm in the early summer of last year. He hid himself in the swamps of the Oconee river for more than two weeks and during this period he lived upon blackberries and wild plums. He also drank the swamp water, which brought about the stomach trouble from which he is now suffering. FOURTH VICTIM DIES William A. Cureton Succumbs to In juries suffered in Wreck.
