SUMMARILY REMOVED
COMMANDER GEORGE IDE, OF THE
WAR SHIP AL ERT, RELIEVED.
Action of Secretary Herbert Based on
miral Ieade Some Time Ago.

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Commander
George Ide, of the Alert now at Panama.
has been relieved of his command by
cabed order He will be succeeded by
Commander Franklin Hanford, at present
on duty at the New York navy yard, who
will take the steamer on July 80 for the
isthmus. Commander Ide, however. will be
relieved Immediately, not being allowed to
retain his command until his successor
reaches his ship.
The reason for this summary action is
found in charges preferred by Rear Ad-
miral Meade that the commander had treat
ed him with disrespect. The exact nature
of these charges were not made public at
the Navy Department. but it is known that
the incident occurred at Panama last
spring. Admiral Meade and Assistant Sec
retary McAdoo. while cruising in the
Caribbean sea, had touched at Colon, and
Panama on the railroad. Here they met
Commander Ide. and il was during this
meeting that the incident occurred that
led the Admiral to prefer charges against
the commander. The department acted de-
nberately in the matter, making careful
investigation into the case. and finally
sending copies of the charges by mail to
Commander Ide. to afford him dn opportuni-
~ to defend himself. Apparently his an

IrStructiOns to Delegates ON the
Money Question and ON Candidates.


LOUISVILLE. June 17-County conven-
tons were held in every county in Ken
tucky to-day to select delegates to the State
Democratic convention which meets in this
city on June %. to nominate a full State
ticket. The political situation in Kentucky
just now is attracting universal attention on
account of the wide split in the party over
the financial platform. Senator j. c. S.
Blackburn is leading the silver faction, to-
gether with Hon. p. Wat. Hardin, ex-At-
torney-general. now candidate for Governor.
Cassius Marcellus Clay, jr., is the opposing
candidate for Governor. He has steadfastly
refused TO make any declaration on the
financial question. The battle for sound
money is not won, nor can the free silver
leaders rest on their oars Although re-
turns have been received from nearly all
the counties the financial pro1iem is still
unsolved. In the race for nomination for
Governor in Louisville and jefferson county
to-day Mr. Clay gained control of the party
machinery and solid Clay delegation was
selected. He also carried the cities of Lex
ington, Paris, Maysville and Elijah htown.
General Hardin found most of his strength
in the country. More uninstructed dele
cations will come TO this convention than
ever before in the history of Kentucky poll
tics. There are ll9 counties having SIS votes,
40 being necessary to a choice.

a,.: to call the attention of the
people to what will soon be a press
ing need upon them.
For the past two years our people
have been more economical than they
have ever been since that period just
after the war. This economy was
necessary on their part.
For several years past now cotton
has been going down, and our farm
ers found themselves falling behind
year after year, until for the past
two years they had to get along
without buying scarcely anything.
They have not bought what they
actually needed, and they were wise
in SO doing; but now cotton has
gone up to 81 cents, and better times
are ahead.
Our farmers can afford to fill this
pressing need II that Of supplying
themselves with substantial
CLOTHING AND SHOES.
Judging from the past few winters
the Approaching one bids fair to
equal them all in severity, and this
only further emphasizes your need
OF shoes and clothing. Anticipating
your needs in these lines, I have put
myself in position to supply your
wants, and to do so at the greatest
possible advantage to you.
l had something to say to you last
week about my full line of clothing,
and concerning that line I will only
say that since last wrote you have
gotten in so,Ee more nice clothing,
which makes my stock all the more
complete.
Now l want to call your attention
to shoes. Remember 1 am the only
house in Clarendon that handles
DOUGLASS SHOES.
They scarcely need any praise; they
advertise themselves after the first
pair is worn; an absolute guarantee
goes with each pair; they are sold at
a small profit, the price being

more or less than this price can be
received for them. Then I handle

for neatness and durability.

"ACROSS THE RIVER" "
In Memory of John M. Ridgway
Who Departed This Life at
St. Paul, Oct. 10, 1895.

We have often seen the sombre shadows
Of Gods Providence across the path OF
loved ones, aud we have seen the wither-
ing frost upon the flowers of our affections
with glistening tears for departed friends,
but who can tell of the fraternal sadness
that gathers on the brow of the Confeder-
ate soldier as his comrades pass away.
Oh, none but him who feels it knows,
and as Comrade John NJ Ridgway of Com
pany I, Twenty-third South Carolina Vol
unteers, has crossed the last river, and as
we keep fresh the evergreen memory Of
our departed comrades. we silently and
sadly close up the rank Of our thin grey
line, soon to camp with comrades on the
ever green shores.
John n. Ridgway served his county in
time Of peace with fidelity and zeal, and as
a soldier he stood bravely at the gateway
of South Carolina with the starry cross.
To the family of our comrade, in be-
half OF the remnant Of the old Sprott
Guards, we extend soldiers sympathy in
their sad bereavement, assuring them that
behind these dark. sombre shadows Christ
is all A. J. R.
