A GreenTille Man in Cuba.

GREENvILLE, January 29.-Sam D.
Stradley returned to the city yesterday
afternoon, and, being approached by a
Reporter in regard to his trip to Cuba.
said that he was in Havana from Monday
until Saturday. That it did not look much
like war in the city, the only evidence
being that great many soldiers were
loungipg around and officers sitting in
front of the best hotels, smoking cigars
and chatting. He said be went out about
ten miles from the city in the direction of
Pinar del Rio and saw nothing of the
insurgents, although he had been told
that six miles from Havana he would find
one of the headquarters of the rebels. But
the only thing he saw was people work
ing il the fields. Two gentlemen who
went on the trip with him took the train
and went sixty miles in the country,
then got conveyance and rode up the
trocha about fifteen miles, seeing nothing
but the workme who are building this
part of the trocha, which is a bank of
earth and stones about five feet high and
wide, with ditch on each side. Some
distance from this bank are stretched
barbed wire fences. This is to keep the
Cubans from running over the coun try
with their horses.
In regard to the death of Maceo, it is
stated in Cuba by both the Spaniards and
Cubaus that it was not an ambush at all;
that he left his main force to cross the
island and take charge of a new regiment
He had with him about 500 men, and met
the s,paniards, 1000 strong. Both sides
were surprised, but got to work at once,
and Maceo was killed at the first fire.
Mr.. Stradley says that the majority Of
. h. from
fakes. For instance, last Sunday the
New York Journal came out in great
blow that the two correspondents sent
over by that paper had at last reached the
insurgont camp in the hills and back
woods of Cuba. The Journal also pub
lishsd report from correspondent
which had arrived in New York on Sat-
urday night. Mr.. Stradley says he left
these two correspondents on Saturday,
the same day that the Journal announced
that the report came, sitting in front Of
the hotel eating oranges and smo king
very fine cigars. This, he says, is about
the size of all the specials purporting to
come from Cuba and published in the pa
pers.
He also says that he does not believe
that any harm will come to any citizen OF
the United States or any other country
who wishes to visit Cuba; that he went
all ovor Havana on out in the surround
ing country by himself, and that nobody
interfered with him or asked him any
questions as to why he was there or what
he was doing. Gen. Weyler had four
prisoners shot one day while he was
there. All the people in the city where
he was are either afraid to say word or
had nothing to tell, as he could get very
little out of them as to the status of al
fairs. The Spaniards make all kinds Of
excuses as to why they do not subdue
the rebellion, but they are rather lame to
say the least.-Nc,CS and Courier.

A Good Appointment.

Judge Simouton yesterday appointed
Mr.. G.. M. Ward receiver Of the Green
wood, Anderson and Western Railroad
and The South Carolina Midland Rail-
way.
The case of w. B. Strang, Jr., & Co.,
against the Greenwood, Anderson and
Western Railroad came up in the United
States Circuit Court on a rule to show
cause why the receivership of the roads
should not be made permanent. Several
weeks ago Judge Simonton appointed
Messrs Mike Brown aud Thomas B. Lee
temporary receivers, and their order was
made returnable on February l.
Mr.. Brown is president and Major Lee
general perintendent of the Green wo ood,
Anderson, and Western and the South
Carolina Midland, but it was the desire
of all parties concerned to put some man
in charge who had no interest whatever
il the property. -NepS and Courier, Feb. 2

Women and the Wheel.

At the last quarterly meeting OF the
American Statistical Association; DR.. S.
W. Abbott, secretary of the Massachu-
sets board of health, presented some In
teresting figures regarding the proportion
that in males in Massachusetts. The rate
in 1851 was 1,45l females to 1000 males !;
in 1890, ,O55 females to 1000 males; last
year only 974 females to 1000 males. Last
year was the first in the history of the
State in which the number of deaths
from phthisis in females was smaller than
that in males. The fact that a uniform
reduction in the rate of female deaths be-
gan some five years ago, about the time
when women were beginning to ride the
bicycle extensively, DR.. Abbott considers
significant, and he is inclined to attribute
the decrease in the death rate to the great
increase of open exercise among women
which has been inaugurated by the use
of the bicycle.-British Medical and Sur

Product OF the Peanut.

From all appearances the plebeian pea
nut Is not properly appre ciated in this
country as it should be. In Europe this
nut has various uses which arc only be-
ginning to be recognized in this country,
the first recognition being that Of Fir-
ginia company which Is about to handle
the peanut products. According to the
Manufacturers Record the principal pro-
ducts are peanut oil for cooking and ta-
bio purposes and cOnfectioners' use, pea
nut cribble for confectionery, peanut
grits for soap, etc., peanut flour for bak.
ing and peanut bran for stock feed. The
oil is highly valued in Europe, and it is
stated that fully s5.00O,000 worth of pea
nuts are brought into N1arseilles, France,
annually, for the manufacture Of oil,
which is used in toilet soaps and for other
purposes. The peanut flour is quite eX-
tensively used in Europe and made into
bread, cakes, biscuits, etc. II is one of
the favorite articles of food, according
to consular reports, in hospitals in Coz
many.
The estimated product of five tons of
peanuts amounts to 235 gallons of refined
oil, at 81 per gallon; l75 gallons of crude
oil, at so cents; 3,GsO pounds of flour and
and meal at two cents, and $500 pounds
of stock feed at GO cents per hundred
pounds, making $il5.90 in all.
In the mechanical handling Of pea
nuts they are first cut and crushed be-
tween suitable rollers, then the cut and
crushed mass Is submitted to hot bath
for separating the shells and kernels, and
finally drying the kernels to separate
them from their skiing.

1t is now conceded that there is but
& faint prospect that the new tariff bill will
be ready by the time of the assembling of
the next Congress in extra session. The
trouble is that nearly every manufactur-
er in the land wishes protection" He
finds that his neighbo Or has gone to Wash
ington and pleaded for a high duty upon
his own manufactures, and then the 9TH
er fellow inspired with the same zeal.
And so it goes. Some farmers, too, wish
their produce protected. And why
shouldn't they be? If the government is
to extend its favors right and left, why
should not the sgriculturalist get his
share? IF the demands made upon the
House committee are complied with, the
bill as framed by the committee will pro-
vide for very high rate Of duty. It is
also quite certain that the bill will provide
for specific duties wherever they can be
imposed. 1t seems to be part Of the
plot of the high protectionists to make it
appear that ad-yalorem duties lead to
frauds in the way Of rndervaluations. It
is expected that, as soon as Mr.. Reed is
elected Speaker Of The new Congress, he
will reappoint the present Committee on
W:Js and Means, and let the members
<go to work while he is framing the other
committees. This will expedite work,
probably to the oxtent Of threa or four
weeks The Republicans, having great
majority in the House, will be able to put
their bill through there in any shape they
pay choose, and with great expedition.
ut not soin the Senate. According to
Ae latest calculations, there will be tie
vote in the Senate on high tariff bill,
and President Hobart will have the
casting vote. But, in view Of the extreme
narrowness Of the Republican high tariff
margin in the Senate, it is quite certain
that the Senators will feel very free to al
Ster or amend the House bill as they see
fit And the House will have to take
what the Senate sends it-or get nothing.
But, alas, we know uot whether to look
TO the Senate for conservatism or the re-
verse!

The cotton acreage for 1897 should cer-
tainly not exceed that Of last year. It is
probable that with the revival of indus
try in our own and other countries crop
as large as the last one can be sold at q
profit to the farmers, but if they allow
the prospect of increased business to in
duce them to plant cotton more heavily
they will have to pay for their expert
eoce as they have often done before. The
southern farmers are, however, coming
every year nearer to the point of inde
pendence as to their supplies. They are
moving their smoke houses and corn
cribs from the west to Dixie. Ifthey will
pursue this policy and push it further we
will, in few years, be the most prosper
Gus and independent people in the world.
There is every reason why we should be-
come so if we make wise use Of the op-
portunities and advantages which Provi-
dence and nature have bestowed upon US.

ing and his brother, who did not care at
all for liquor, is said to have been "seri-
ously inconvenienced. More than that,
they disagreed on the subject of the civil
war and irrtated each other to such an
extent that at one time they consulted an
eminent physician as TO the possibility of
a separation. Medical records give the
case of another monster, the celebrated
Hungarian twins, Rita and Christina.
One was almost beautiful, with agreeable
manners and good temper, while the
other was plain and of such violent and
