informing you that we maintain ex-
cellent and cordial relations with all
the foreign powers. The correct and
friendly conduct of the American re-
public in the presence of the Cuban
insurrection is good proof that every
day the ties of interest are developed
and the friendship that unties them
closer with Spain. In the United
States, Notwithstanding the great
efforts that part of the public opinion

trary sense, the president and his

the line of conduct that corresponds to
the loyal friendship that has existed
between the two countries from the
beginning of the existence of that

SHILOH, S. c., June 20, 1895


Qlse interesting games of base ball were
played here to-day between Motts' lst and I'd
mines and Shiloh's lst and "a niHes. The
game between the I'd Mines stood 25 to 10, in
favor of Motifs and the game between the lst
uines stood l9 to 0 in favor of Shiloh. The
Shiloh boys were in fne trim for the contest
and did excellent playing. The Motifs
Bridge boys behaved like gentlemen and
made good impression. They took their
defeat Ike brave men, and arranged for a
game on their ground next Saturday, with
the Shiloh boys.
Dr.. T. R. McElveen, since his return to this
place from Augusta, is practicing day and
night, and has scarcely any rest. Dr.. Tom,

physician in this section, and the people
IN general have implicit confidence in his
skill and ability to do full justice by them.

PRIVATEER PERSONALS.

PRlvArEER, TOWNSHIP, S. c., June %, '96.
Considering that Bethel is country church
it certainly has good Sunday School, over
100 pupils are on tine roll and the average
attendance is good 1t is very creditable
Sunday School to our community Messrs.
Matt Ramsey and Whitfield Wells are the
superintendent and assistant superintendent
and Mr. Rolin Kolb is clerk.
4 large and pleasant community pic mic
took place at Caio's mill on Friday. Owing
to the rain that afternoon the proposed match
game between the Privateer and Jordan mines
did not come off.
After the meeting o: the Amusement Club
at the Bethel parsonage next Friday night,
the Club will take vacation for while.
We hear good deal about watermelons in
the township and we earn that Mr. Newton
Barwick carried over hundred 10 Sumter
last Saturday. Mr. John Baker has quite q
pretty watermelon patch.
Mr. Burgess Jenkins's sister, Mrs. Hall,
from Florida, was expected on Saturday.
Nr Russell Ramsey, Of Richland, is visiting
his fathers family.
Last month We received a work of great
interest = 'sThe Ninth Annual Report of the
Director of the United States Geological
Survey'-over 300 pages of which are de-
voted to the great earthquake of ten years
ago. Ir this account is Mr. Carl Mckinley .
admirable sketch of the Charleston earth
quake, which We alluded to in former letter.
Among the other matter about the earth
quake published in this geological report are
reports of earthquake observations from a
number of States, among which is the brief
accoun! of the earthquake in this township,
which was written by Mr.. E. W. Dabbs and
published in the News and Courier. 1t is a
matter of interest to US to know that the na-
tienal government has published, in stand
ard work, an account of noted event 10 the
history of our township.
There are uuquestionably people living in
this township who are descended from man
with whom George Washington lodged. In
It'll this eminent Revolutionary hero, who
was then filling the Presidential chair tra<-
e!ed in ou, State and he has left an interest
ing diary about his trip. Writing of bis
josrney from Camden to Charlotte, he says
that he ''iodged al James lngram's," whose
house he left at o'clock in the morning.
This Ingram, according to the diary from
which we have just quoted, lived 26 miles
from Camden. Nr. John n. Ingram, OF this
township, who was born and raised GEAR the
Hanging Rock battle ground, informs US that
his grandfather was James Ingram, who was
magistrate aud lived about "a miles above
Camden, on the main road from Camden to
Chsrlottee We think that it is very evident
tha; this was the same man cf whom Gen.
Washington speaks.

end of 20 years this fund will amount
to at least S1,600,0O0, and we will
retire that much of the State debt,

be refunded. At the expiration of
40 years the entire debt will have
beeen paid.

An Interesting little cir! Of this township
is Salna Os;eeu, daughter of Mr.. J. B.
Oateen. Before marriage, her mother, who
was Miss Fannie Pack, was we'll known as
the blind lady musician Salna will be
seven years old next August, and although
she is not able to walk on account OF lame
ness and can scarcely reach the organ keys,
she can play that grand old him, "Jesua,
Lover of Ny Soul" She hes been taught to
play recently and has practiced but very lit
! te She kindly played for us few days ago
and not only does she play naturally, but
she plays very we'll. For one of her years,
Salna has remarkably bright face.
Speaking Of this little one We may mention
the fact that both of he. grandfathers were
Confederate soldiers-ber paternal grand
father, Mr. David Osteen, was member Of
Co. H., S. C. Cavalry and her maternal
grandfather, Mr. Joe Pack, was killed at the
second battle of Manassas.

curious books, comprising early American
history, genealogy, travels, etc." We gee
mention made of the following work ga
genealogical history of the Kolb, Kulp or
Culp family and its branches in America.
By D. K. Cassel." We hardly suppose there
is any thing in this work about the Privateer
Kolbs, but as this name is not common one
and it is the name borne by one of the femi-
lies Of this township, the title of the work is
of some interest.
Last year, with two horses, Mr. Talley
Ingram made eight bales of cotton (.nd ac-
cording to his estimate) 100 bushels of corn
without aoy commercial fertilizers. He has
sold about two hundred bushels Of this corn.
The following statement will be of interest

Sometime back Mr. W. j. Ardis, of Man

defeated. The nine-hour law has now to

THREATENED TO WRECK HER.
Dig Guns ON the Indiana Broke Loose
In the Gale.

In the Gale.
All hands were busy yesterday on the
United States battle ship Indiana, at anchor
of Tompktnsville, 8. l., trying to right thu
injury which was done TO her turrets il
the fierce gale Of last Monday night, says
todays New York Journal. Every cheese
bcx's on the vessel had gone wrong. The
two thirteen-inch turrets had broken their
clamp boxes and the eight eight-inch ones
had torn loose from their hold buckles and
had swung as the sea listed. the great guns
sweeping tn. rails away from the deck and
the smaller ones banging at a damaging
rate against the superstructure.
The superstructure is not much but the
officers OF the Indiana say an entirely new
system Of locking gear will have to be con-
structed to prevent the ship being damaged
or perhaps sunk when she meets gale
similar to the one Of Monday.
All the turretS revolve on wheels on q
track which is firmly welded to the bar
bette The barbette is stationary, circular
like the turret and firm with the deck. The
gunner Is able to direct mis- fire to any point
by means of steam. If full head of s6eam
had been on Monday the turrets would not
have been damaged, but Il was thought the
clamps would be sufficient.
Attached 10 the turret is what is called
the clamp box. 1t is made Of steel almost
an inch thick on ends and sides, and is hoi-
low. 1t has jaw set with highly tempered
teeth. By turning wheel in the inner
section another jaw arises from the fixed
barbette and the teeth of the latter dove
tail with those of the former. There are
several of these combinations on each of
the thirteen-inch turretS. This ponderous
mass proved too much for the clamp boxes
when the ship gave a lurch, and they were
crushed. The teeth, thus being released.
the turrets rolled on the wheels wherever
the preponderating weight Of the guns took
them.
The amount Of steam on hand was not
sufficient to control the machinery, and the
only way to prevent disaster was 10 capture
the gum: with hawsers and tie them TO the
superstructure and deck fittings. This was
done after hours Of work. The eight-inch
turrets were fastened by a buckling system,
end all the buckles broke.
The officers, of the Indiana yesterday
praised the work done by Chief Gunner
William Walsh, who has been twenty years
In the service. While the big gun In the
forward part Of the ship was lurching to
and fro, he stood within the turret at the
immediate risk Of his life, and coolly di-
rected the work Of the men. He possibly
saved the Indiana from total destruction.
Walsh said yesterday that the ship would
likely go to the navy yard. she will GER
tainly be fitted with a new system of lock-
ing gear" he added. 1.-The damage cannot
be repaired in a short time"
1t was found necessary yesterday to am
putate the right leg of Night Ensign G. 8.
Galbraith which was fractured by a bat
tledoor during the gale. The operation was
performed in q hospital.
