Too Good to be True.

HABANA, Dec. 3O.-''Maceo is alive
is the Cubans' joyful cry: The first
rumors, accepted with incredulity,
are now gaining ground. Information
is coming into the city daily giving
precise details. 1t is said that when
he fell from his horse his followers
thought him dead, but found that he
was still living and spread the news
that he was dead in order to carry
him to a place of safety. Under a
strong escort they carried him to the
Sieuanea hospital, where under the
skillful treatment of Drs. Fermin
Valdes Dominguez and Pancho Do
minguez, the chief is now slowly re-
cuperating. The acute period has now
passed. It seems that only one wound
is dangerous, that being in the stom-
ach. Fortunately the bullet did not
touch the intestines. 1t was feared
that peritonitls might set in, but he
escaped this. The other wounds are
in the Jaw and back and are only
slight. Zertucha's treashery is being
confirmed daily. 1t is said that Ma
ceo's first words when he was able to
speak, was to order Zertucha's capt
ure, but he had already fled to the
Spanish lines. Zertucha wrote the
paper found on Gomez's body. Co.
mez was killed by a bayonet thrust
and did not stab himself as the Span
ish say.

Flood, Famine and Cholera.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29.-The stea-
mer Peru brings news that in addition
to the small pox epidemic at japanese
ports, cholera has revived in Hong
Kong, and though there are not yet
many deaths, the plague is increasing
and serious results are expected. The
disease had made headway in many
Chinese cities and on the island Of
Formesa. The Japanese port have
decared a quarantine against all chol-:
era lanfected districts. Assevere fam.
inc is reported from western China. 1t
is particularly severe in the CITY OF
Chuantung, in Szechuen province,
where there has been a prolonged
rain, causing floods which has spread
over vast areas of country, destroy
ing almost the entire rice and vegeta-
BILE crops. The inhabitants are dying
by scores from starvation, and to add
to the horror of it a large proportion
of the city situated on bluff at 9
bend of the Kinsha river, was carried
under the flood by landslide and
about 5000 of the starving Chinese
were drowned. The food had under
mined the base of the bluff and por-
ton of the hill, sSout five ceres In ex-
tent, plunged into the water.

Tough on the Spanish Consul.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Dec. 30.-The
steamer Dauntless, which the govern
ment has granted permission to clear
for Cuban port with a cargo OF ammu
nitions of war, is not in port at pres
ent. The owner says it has gone on a
"wrecking" trip, and may not return
for a week. The Dauntless gave The
revenue cutters the slip yesterday, 60
ing out of the river from one of the
shallow channels, and this has aroused
the suspicion that the vessel is again
on a flibustering trip. The owners
say the vessel will be formally cleared
for Cuba as soon as it shall return.
The Commodore has also been granted
permission to clear with arms, and
will do so in the morning. Several
car loads of arms and ammunition are
in the city awaiting shipment. A
rather anomalous fact is presented in
that, if either boat shall clear for Cuba
the Spanish Consul or Vice Consul
will have to sign the clearance papers,
this being required when vessel clear,
for foreign port. In this instance 1t
would be case of Spanish officer
affixing his signature to document
permitting vessel to carry war mate
rial to people fighting against gov.
ernment. Consul Soils was asked If
he would refuse to sign the clearance
papers of the Dauntless. He said that
he could not refuse, as it was his duty
to sign the papers. The cargo OF both
boats will be shipped to Salvado Cisn-
eros. President of the Cuban Repub-
lie, the Dauntless cargo consigned to
Nuevitas and that of the Commodore
to Santiago.

DISEASE OF SWINE.
Hog Cholera and Swine Plague--No Cure
for These Diseases.

CLEMSON COLLEGE, s. c., Dec. 81
The swine industry of this State is in
creasing daily in importance. OF the
many diseases which are apt to inter-
fere seriously with this profitable en-.
terprise three are two which are of
special interest to those engaged in
that business, viz: Hog cholera and
swine plague. Hog cholera and swine
plague are two diseases which up to
this moment are practically incura-
BILE. These diseases are produced each
bya particular microscopical plant,
that is, a plant so small that it can
only be seen with a powerful micro.
scope. The animal becomes infect
ed either by food or by inhaling
the cause of cholera or swine plague
and in due time succumbs to the at
tack of the disease while those not
dying will never recover sufficiently
to be of any value. There is little
doubt that these two diseases have re
ceived more attention from the best
veterinary talent, not only Of this
country, but of Europe also, than any
other diseases of like character. In
swine plague, the lungs. are primarily
attacked but in hog cholera the large
intestines are especially diseased as in
almost all cases ulcers are found in
them. This affection resembles Asiat.
ic cholera, or dysentery of the hui
man. While we can destroy the lit
tie germs, or plants causing those hog
diseases Theoretically, it is impossible
to reach them after they have once
entered the body of an animal, and
prevention therefore, is of utmost i'm
portance in this trouble. The follow
ing points if carefully executed will
mostly prevent an outbreak of hog
cholera even if in immediate neigh
borhood of herd.
1. No pig should be bought from a
herd until one year of the last case OF
cholera in that herd. =.
2. Hogs should not be allowed to
drink from a stream on the upper
part of which a herd is located which
has had or has cholera.
8. Anything coming from infected
grounds, that is, farm implements,
dogs, people, etc., must not be per-
mitted to enter premises free from
cholera. This is, necessary, as the
germs producing the diseases are con.
veyed by them to the uninfected
place.
4. Repeated disintection OF the
premises best done by spreading slak-
ed lime about the premises and fre.
quent securing of all feeding uten-
sils with boiling water.
Experiments have been made to
prevent hog cholera by inoculating
hogs with a certain preparation known
as hog cholera serum; but at the pres.
ent momement the results obtained by
that method of incubation do not
warrant its general introduction, and
the best way to prevent the introduc.
ton or spread of this disease is by the
means mentioned above.

Remarkable Jewish Opinion.

SAYS the Chicago Tribune of Friday:
DIR. Emile G.. Hirsch stood before a
congregation in Zion Temple last
night and for nearly an hour and a
half pleaded with them to observe
Christmas day as the greatest of .hoh-
days. Among his hearers were men
and women who had grown gray In
the belief that it was their religious
duty to scof at the celebration OF
Christmas day and to consider it mere
ly as the anniversary of one OF the
greatest Jewish prosecutions in his
tory. DR.. Hirsch among other things
said:
"We rabbis have never asked you
business men to close your stores on
Christmas day. We did not need to
ask you, for on this day you could not
do business. We live under new
conditions. Today is universal holi-
day, and is neither Christian nor Jew
ish. Suppose this is the birthday OF
Jesus. There never lived better
Jew. than Jesus. The Jews did not
cruelty Jesus-at least, the Jews OF
the people did not. They had no rea-
son to cruelty him. Rome had him
cruci6ed as a conspirator against her
dominion over Jerusalem. There
may have been Jews who took part in
His crucifxion, but there are bad and
traitorous men among all peoples. So
we may celebrate his birthday. No
one has revolutionized humanity SO
much as Jesus. We of the liberal
church OF Jews have no reason to pro-
test at the name of Jesus. The name
of Him made it possible for a daugh-
ter religion to conquer the world.
We Jews are religion poor and race
proud. Iwould have the Jews enter
into the spirit of this day of peace on
earth and good will toward man. The
birthnight of Jesus was q night OF
persecution to the Jews, and this fact
has caused US not to celebrate Christ.
mas day. But woe to generation OF
Jews which turns that night to night
of frivoity and scoffing. If we can.
not WELCOME, let us at least be silent
on day so sacred to others. 1t IS 9
human day to men. 1t is the dawn OF
union among men,"

Will Confer With Foreign Blmetallists.

w WASHlNGiCN, DeC. Ol.-OeudLOF
Wolcott of Colorado, the chairman of
the special Senate committee to ar
range for bimetallic conference of
the nations of the world, is going
abroad to confer with European BIZ
metallists on the subject. The pur
poses of his visit are known and ap-
proved by Presidentelect Mckinley,
and his trip is made at the request of
his associates of the Senatorial COM
mittee. The attention of the Senator
was called to the Canton O., dispatch
published today that he. was going
abroad for the purpose stated andt that
he would 90 with the endorsement of
President-elect Mckinley and was en-
powered in a measure to represent his
views. The Senator was not in po-
sition to discuss in detail the state
ments in the dispatch. He did say,
however, in reply to questions. that it
was true that he was going to Europe
early in January at the request of his
associates on the Republican caucus
committee for consultation with En-
glish bimetallist. He added that
there were other matters concerning
his mission in the interests of bimetal-
lism which he preferred not to talk
about. 1t was evident that the Sena-
tor deprecated the publication of any
statement concerning the errand upon
which he is about to depart. Mr..
Wolcott was asked if the purpose of
his visit were known by Major Nc
Kinley and approved by him, and he
answered that they were, but when
pressed for particulars declared that
he would prefer not to discuss the
question further. The Senator will be
absent until some time in February.
General Francis A. Walker, who, it
was stated, would accompany Sena'
tor Wolcott on his mission, will not
be able to 60 on account of other en-
gagements.

EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,


the immense power on the Catawba
river, and contracts have already been
entered into whereby the mills OF the
enterprising city of Rock Hill are to
be run by electricity. South Carolina
will soon be an electric State in more
senses than one.
The iron mines in this section, al
though rich, are worked on small
scale, but profitablY. 1t will surprise
most of your readers to know that
South Carolina produces more gold
than any State in the Union east of
the Mississippi river. We are willing,
however, to abandon this enterprise
for free silver. Two gold mines are
successfully operated in this State.
The Piedmont section is well tim
bered with oak, hickory, walnut and
short. leaf pine, which is sawed at the
mills and shipped to the northern
furniture factories. A rich field is
offered here for such factories, there
being but one in this section, and it is
operated upon a small scale.
Cotton is raised in this section, as
we'll as the middle section, and is OF a
very fine grade. This industry pays
about as we'll as anywhere in the
South, in view of the low price of the
product, which is scarcely sufficient
to pay for its production. The yield
per acre in the State is larger than
that of any State within the cotton
belt.

severely oppressed by low prices, are
making no debts and decreasing their
old ones. In 1890 the per capita debt
of the State was $11.55; today it is less
than 81, reduction in less than six
years of ga per cent.
In 1890 the taxable property of the
State was in round numbers, $3.50, 000,.
600; in 1894 it was nearly $174 900,
600, an increase of $25, 900. 900 in pc.
riod during which the wealth OF most
sections of the country showed de-
crease. The increase in property in
1894 over 1893 WAS $3,300,OOO. Our
sister State Of Georgia for the same
period showed a decrease of over $780,
100000.
The annual products of the State
for 1890 were valued $42, ,00O, 900, two.
ffths of which was in manufactured
products. In 1896 the value of agri-
cultural products alone amounts to
$46, 900, ,OO0--more than all products
combined in 1890, and cotton is one
third less in value. No southern
state can compare with South Caro-
lima in the advance that has been made
since 1890. The assessment of property
for the past year will show a slight de-
crease over che preceding year by rea,
son of the reduction in the assessment
of railroad property. Not railroad
in this State is now in the hands of
receiver, and all show good earnings.
In the defending scale our State
stands forty. second in the amount OF
mortgaged indebtedness. In her edu-
cational facilities the State is now the
equal of any in the Union. The pub
| lie schools are we'll attended and the
colleges are full. There are 1000 more
children in the school this year than
last. We have homes and farms for
many times the number OF our inhab'
