EDITORIAL INKLINGS.
The Geneva Award.

The Geneva Award.
- The following is given by the New
York Herald as the facts in connection with
the Geneva award, reference to which is
frequently made in Congressional proceedings: ::
The Geneva Commission awarded the
United States 81 800 900 in full payment of
all claims which had been presented, or might
thereafter arise, for losses caused to American
traders by Confederate cruisers fitted out in
British ports. Under the Act of Congress
regulating the distribution Of awards, 2,O6S
claims, amounting to S9,3l6,l20, we're allowed
and paid, leaving in the Treasury balance
which, with accrued interest, amounts to
about SlO,OOO,000. For this tempting prize
there is a scramble, the insurance companies
being most active. They claim that they
paid for the ships and cargoes lost, and are
entitled to the compensation therefor made
to the Government. But the Act of 1874 has
made whole every ship.owner and cargo-owner,
and every insurance company. If ship
and cargo were destroyed by a rebel cruiser,
the Act provided for full compensation if
there was no insurance. If the vessel or
cargo, either or both, was insured, the in.
surance money received was to be deducted
from the compensation. The actual loss was
fully reimbursed, and there could be no
just claim to anything further. The act of
1874 dealt with the insurance companies in
the same spirit. They were required to
strike balance between their war losses and
their war profits and if the losses were in
excess Of the profits, the companies were
made whole by reimbursing the difference.
The Act of 1874 thus provided for all real
losses and precluded all claims for fictitious
or suppositious losses 1t was not known
whether the money would suffice for the full
payment of real losses, and it was accordingly
provided that if it fell short the awards should
be paid in ratable proportion but that if it
should prove to be in excess, the balance
should remain in the Treasury to be disposed
of by Congress.
Severe Storm in Missouri.
- Marshfeld, a town in Missouri, on
the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad,
was almost entirely destroyed by cyclone on
Monday afternoon of last week. The torna-
do passed though Green and Webster coun-
ties, following the course of the James River
in a northeast direction. 1t struck the St.
Louis and San Francisco Railroad in four
places, and left it near Franks Station, 10
miles from Marshfeld. The latter place pre-
sents terrible appearance, there not being
more than a dozen houses unharmed in the
place. The Courthouse and many other
buildings took fire, and the scene was of the
most dreadful character The force of the
wind lifted trees entirely out of the ground.
Telegraph poles and wires were carried hun
dreds of rods into the woods and tied knot!ed

promises was kept; but it is stated in gene.
raj way that the results are encouraging, par
ticularly wtL regard to the anti.treating
pledge. This is very likely to be true. The
American custom of men paying for each
others liquor is responsible for an enormous
amount of superauous drinking. A false
idea of sociability and hospitality is at the
bottom of it, and all drinking men know that
they would be better off in health and pocket
if they should adopt the German custom of
each individual settling his own score.

FALL POTATOES.

Mr.. NJ. Duffy, of Smiths Turnout, in this
county, writes to contradict the theory ad-
vanced in our agricultural department recent
ly as to the best method of planting Irish po-
tatoes for fall crop. The writer referred to says
the potato for this planting should not be cut,
while Mr.. Duffy's experience is just the oppo-
site. He advises the cutting Of the potato
into three or four pieces-owing to it's size
and says, from his own experience, planted in
June or July it will sprout at once, while if
the potato is planted whole it will not sprout
before the spring of the year. Mr.. Duffy has
been very successful in the cultivation of po-
tatoes by summer planting, having obtained
the premium for them at the Charlotte fair in
1878

LETTER FROM CHESTER.

CHESTER, S. c., April 2.-Last Sunday
communion services were held in the Associate

day, Rev. w. T.. Matthews, of the Theological
Seminary, preached at the Presbyterian church

7th, and expect to make an excursion on one
of the railroads. A picnic is also spoken of,
to be at Catawba Falls, next Saturday.
Yesterday the Odd Fellows of Chester cele-
brated their anniversary by making an excur-
sion to the Catawba river. It was pleasant
trip. Mr.. Will Beattie, the depot agent, Capt.
the ferry, did all they could to make it pleas
ant for the party. All returned to Chester
without mishap. On the road active prep
arations for the coming crop were to be seen
on every farIa. Much of the cotton already
planted is coming up, and the farmers were
busy, planting more. Some of the wheat and
oat crops look well, but others show the dam
aging effects of the latter frosts
The dam for the Fishing creek cotton fscto-
ry is completed. The incOrpOrators OF the
company were to have held meeting to-day
for the purpose of pefecting the organization.
It is understood that the most improved ma
chinery will be procured, and it is intended to
have it in operation for spinning cotton by
next fall.
Last Thursday bale of cotton caught on
fire at the Lancaster depot of the Cheraw and
Chester Railroad, and but for the prompt at
tention of the agent and others, the results
might have been serious.
Messrs c. W. Meynardie of Chester, and
John S. Wilson of Yorkville, left here yes
terday, for Columbia, to pass their examina-
tion before theSupreme Court to obtain license
to practice law.

DEATH OF Col. VIM. G. BEATTY.

Aout 9 O'Clock on Wednesday night of last
week, the report was rapidly spread over town
that Col. VIM. G. Beatty had suddenly fallen
dead near the rear gate of Mr.. Joseph Hern-
don IS lot, on Madison street, which leads from
Main street to Col. Beatty's residence.
Under the circumstances it was deemed
proper that jury of inquest should be impan-
neled, which was done under direction of Trial
Justice J. S. Lewis acting as coroner, as fol-
lows: j. D. Colcock, foreman, L. NJ. Grist,
Rev. R. Latham, T. S. Jeffreys, A. W. 1ngold,
J. R. Lindsay, J. G. Wardlaw, James E. JEFF
ferys, F. A. Gilbert, James L. Wilson, w.
P. Good and John J. Smith.
After viewing the body it was removed to his
residence and number Of witnesses were exam
ined, the testimony going to show that between
the hours of and 9 O'Clock that evening, Col.
Beatty discovered that several cattle had ell
tered his field near his residence. He under
took to drive the cattle out Of the held 10
the residence of neighbor to whom they De-
longed. Before succeeding in accomplishing
this purpose, he made two trips from MS neld
to the lot of his neighbor. On the second trlp,
he was accompanied by two or three small
children, who had joined him to render assls-
tance. On reaching the spot where ne was
found, one of the children stated In her testi-
timony that he complained of feeling tired,
and said he would sit down to rest. The chill
dren then left him sitting on the ground, and
soon afterwards a colored woman in Mr.. Hern
don,s ward, being attracted by groans, went to
where they proceeded, and there found Col.
Beatty lying on his back helpless. She i'm
mediately summoned several neighbors to the
spot, and on their arrival restoratives were
applied, and efforts made to resuscitate him,
but he was gasping and too near dead to speak,
and soon afterwards breathed his last. The

SURGICAL OPERATION.

Mr.. VIM. NJ. Corkill, a printer of this place,
and during the war member of the Sixth S.
C. Regiment, was wounded in the battle Of
Seven Pines, receiving musket ball in the
left thigh, near the groin. The ball was never
extracted and the wound healed up externally;
but for the past four or five years Inflammation
has existed, attended with so much pain as at
times to disable him from work. He finally
determined to have the ball extracted, if possi-
BILE, and for this purpose visited Charleston, a
few days ago, placing himself under Doctors
Kinloch, j. Ford Prioleau and Parker. From
a letter received Monday, we learn that these
physicians attempted to perform an operation
on Friday, but failed to discover the ball,
though they took out some necrosed or dead
bone. 1t will probably be two week before he
will be well enough to return home.
