British Pros and Cons.

LONDON. May 1.-THE St. James
Gazette asserts that the Spanish army
aud uavy are strongly opposed to the
submission Of Spain to the demands of
the United States 10 regard to Cuba
and that the manufacturing classes of
Spain are resolved to keep Cuba close
brought. Premier Canovas del Castillo,
The Gazette adds. must choose be-
tween rupture between Spain and the
United States or revolution at home
The Globe, 10 an article on the Cuban
situation, says that the recent preten-
tious arrogance of the Washington
statesmen has been due to determina-
ton to make American commerce pars-
mount in the western hemisphere.
European sympathy, The Globe adds, is
wholly with Spain.
The Pail Mail Gazette says: The
prisoners captured On board the 6li'
busteriug schooner Competitor will not
be shot. A contest between light aud
heavy weights, especially when the for
mer is not fit and the latter is spoilipg g
for fight, can have only Que result.

WEDGEFIELD LETTER.

WEDGEFlELD, May l2.-This terrific spell
of weather has discouraged our farmers very
much. Where cotton is up to stand it is
doing we'll, but so much has DOT come out Of
the ground yet. although the nut grass has.
Corn is very small and was twisted up to-day
at eleven O'Clock; is said to be dying in
places Gardens, as far as We have seen, are
ruined. The oat croo has suffered very
much. Where they were planted early and
ca good land, they have made, perhaps, half
crop, and are being gathered. Late plant
ing 10 places where land is good, will not
make the seed that was planted.

The Cotton Acreage.

WASHINGTON, May ll.-The cotton
report to the department Of agricul-
ture for May relates to the progress
of planting, aud the proposed or con-
templated average The proportion
of the contemplated area already
planted on the first of May was S7.e
per cent which approxImates very
closely the breadth usually planted
at that date, which is estimated at $50
per cent. The estimates for the sew
eral States are as follows
Virginia 20; North Carolina 80 !;
Georgia go; Florida 100; Alabama
93; Mississippi 90; Louisiana 95 {:
Texas 85, Arkansas 81; Tennessee
73.
The reports of correspondents in
regard to contemplated acreage, IN
dicates considerable increase over
the area planted last year. The per-
centages by states are as follows:
Virginia 107 North Carolina III !;
South Carolina Ill; Georgia 1l3 !;
Florida l43 Alabama Ill; +; Missis-
sippi ITO; Louisiana l09; Texas
lis; Arkansas 1913; Tennessee l27 !;
Indian Territory 159; Missouri AL.
The average for the country is
ia 8. Planting has been earlier
than usual in most of the cotton
States, but much complaint is made
of drought in large area in North
Carolina, South Carolina. Georgia
and Alabama, retarding the gernina-
tion of the seed. In few counties
in Texas, the Mexican weevil is re-
ported as doing considerable damage.
AS a general thing, the plant is said
to be in good condition, with favora-

Silver Drips from Plegah.

Mr. Editor: In your issue of this week,
you speak of the State being strongly in
favor Of free. silver, that Tillman would pro-
badly control it, name the National dele
gates, probably boil: them, as result Of one
man power, &c. Senator Tilman is man
of wonderful influence in this State, simply
because be is abreast Of the times. This
question of free silver will not down until
dition which will be fair aud just to all. It
is an admitted fact that the poor get poorer,
and the rich get richer under our present
financial condition. This upheaval of the
people from Maine to Texas, shows that some
thing is wrong, and no man like Tillrnan, or
any one else, is the cause of it. 1t is 6nan-
cial revolution, pure aud simple, just like
this country revolted against the British
yoke when its measures were unjust and op-
pressive Since free silver will control in all
probability the National Convention, the
gold bugs are trying to work up scare that
ID. the event that free silver will be engrafted
irIthe declaration of principles, it will offend
saegreatStates Of Pennsylvania, New York
aud Others Mr. Editor, what has the great
State Of Pennsylvania ever doae for the dem.
ocra,ic party? Has she ever cast single
electoral vote for the democratic candidate =?
No. Ohio cast one, only one, 1892, and yet
we must stand aghast at her displeasure,
against the wishes of such States as Missouri
and Texas. Are not the Southern and West
ern people just as Intelligent, patriotic, and
have as many rights as the people of the
North, yet the South which furnishes the
bulk Of the electoral votes, must give way to
those States that can do nothing, and allow
them to shape the policy of the party. Bah !
Is YOU are not tired of such state Of affairs,
then your correspondent acknowledges that
he is. A few more Ben Tillmans to 60
through the United States and arouse the
people up to sense Of their political rights,
will have happy effect in shaping the future
Of this county. The masses are asleep to
their rights, hence such pernicious interfer-
ence as England shaping the financial policy
OF our country would never have taken
place. in the interest of few, and against
the people Throw on the light until the in
terests of the people are looked after. Then
we will baye happy and prosperous ccun-

Coroner's Inquest Held.


Wiley Carolina, colored, about Is years
old, was killed at Manville, or Thursday
night, May 9Th, BY the accidental discharge
poifstol, in the hands of Annie Rembert
at the house Nla Hannible, Annie's brother
in-law, where Wiley was paying an evening
call. An inquest was held by Coroner Com
mander, and the jury rendered verdict that
the death was by accident. While it is not
doubted that the verdict is correct one so
far as related to the killing, it is thought that
there was some crooked testimony as to the
exact weapon with which the killing was
done-the weapon exhibited showing no evil
dence of having been fired. The inference is
that had the proper pistol teen produced,
some one would have had to account for a
stolen pistol, that has been wanted there for
some time recently.
