In making up the recapitulation OF the
total taxes of the county last year, by a
clerical error, the sum of tax levied for
wolf bounty was moved one place to the
left, making it appear as $4, 500 instead of
$40 or the result of a levy of one mill
instead of one-tenth of mill as required
by statute. AS matter of fact the error
only occurred in the recapitulation state
ment, and was not so carried out or
levied on the tax lists, and only the pro-
per sum, one-tenth ola mill, has been
collected from tax payers. We may add
in this connection that the auditor has
issued about $50 warrants for wolf boun-
ties in this county since the law went
into effect.

COUNTY SEAT.

It is not so certain after all that Cav
alier will be candidate for county seat
honors this year. At meeting of the
citizens of that place it was decided
to send committees to the different
towns which would be likely to enter the
contest for the purpose of getting assur-
ance from these towns that they will not
enter the field. 1t will cost something
over $500 to get the proper number of
signers to the petition and there are 9TH
er expenses which Cavalier does not pro-
pose to assume unless there is clear
field left for them. At the time of writ
ing, the various committees have not re-
ported upon the feeling in the various
towns.-Pink Paper.
The above very nearly expresses the
feeling of Cavalier on the county seat
question. The committees appointed to
visit the several neighboring towns were
as follows: Hamilton-A. French and
Memo Surerus. ST. Thomas-John Bech-
tel, c. Kibler, F. A. Farrow and S. E.
Haist. Bathgate-Jas. Thomson, A.
Christie and E. H. Restameyer.
The several committees have visited
the towns assigned them the past week,
and find the sentiment of the people in
each about the same, viz: that they each
would like to secure the county seat, but
do not feel certain that they would be
able to do so. The Chronicle would
suggest that committees from the sever,
al towns meet in joint session with a
committee from Cavalier, talk over the
situation and see if some arrangement
cannot be made, or some agreement en-
tered into, that will be satisfactory ali
around.-Cavalier Chronicle.

The Pioneer Express.
SETTLEMENT AND INDEMNITY.

1t is difficult to see how war could be
avoided with Spain, even leaving out of
consideration the explosion ofthe Maine.
Spain is too proud to give up Cuba with
out fight, and the United States has al
ready practically said, that either Spain
must settle matters there at once, or we
will step in and force peace In fact, it
is quite probable that if the incident of
the Maine disaster had not occurred, that
before this time we would have been at
war with Spain, unless the latter had
backed down and evacuated Cuba.
And when we consider the blowing up
of the Maine, there seems to be no pos
:sible reparation or indemnity for such a
dastardly and cowardly crime. If the
Maine was blown up. the responsibility
of Spain is unquestionable. 1t may diff
fer i'll degree; it may be piracy, it may be
cold-blooded murder, it may be wilful
neglect or criminal carelessness, but
whatever the degree, the responsibility.
the shame, is fixed on Spain and the pun
ishment should necessarily follow. And
the punishment should be like that me-
ted to individuals convicted of similar
crimes. If it was willful, premeditated
murder, then Spain should be wiped
from the map of nations. If the explos-
ion was permitted by connivance of Span
ish officials, or by lack of due vigilance
on their part, then Spain should be so
punished, that every Spanish official for
centuries to come would not forget that
such crimes of omission are punishable
by the unwritten law of nations, and
bring woe and dishonor to himself and
his country.
We cannot see any satisfactory settle
ment possible if Spain is shown to be re-
sponsible for the loss of the Maine. The
lives of those 25O dead sailors, were
worth more to US, and to our honor, than
the whole Spanish population. Spain in
its entirety, people and possessions, woul.,
be no indemnity. for their loss, and as
for the crime. if guilty, Spain is worthy
only of an international lynch-law exc
cution at the hands of the whole world.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.
What is the use of making better
article than your competitor if you can
not get q better price for 1t?
Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may be
smaller on a single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prom
inently before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment on them and
use only the better one,

pie to-day is traceable to kidney trouble.
1t pervades all classes of society, in all
climates, regardless of age, sex or con-
dition.
The symptoms of kidney trouble are
unmistakable, such as rheumatism,
neuralgia, sleeplessness, pain or dull
ache in the back, desire to urinate
often day or night, profuse or scanty
supply.
Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in
urine are signs of clogged kidneys,
causing poisoned and germ-filled blood.
Sometimes the heart acts badly, and
tube casts wasting Of the kidneys) are
found in the urine, which If neglected
will result in Bright's Disease, the most
dangerous form of kidney trouble.

The CAMPs.-Secretary Alger has dc.
termined to enforce every regulation
which will improve the health of the
soldiers at the various camps of the
army. He mas directed the command
ing general Of each camp to pr pare
and put uto execution stringent code
of rules and to send daily reports to
the acknowledgement ofthe army.
A dispatch from Washington say:
A general movement of troops will &C
cur within two weeks. All of the pres
ent camp sites 10 the south will be
abandoned for healthier localities In thu
north. The camps at F -rnandina, Taml 3
Miami, Chichamauga and JAG ssonvil c
Will be removed with all possible haste.
The new sites have not yet been select
ed, but Montauk Point, l.. l. will
probably be made the principal camp
ing ground for the present, at least.
A disps tch from Manassas says: The
troops broke camp yesterday morning
at Chapel Springs, near Brist0w, and
began the march in the direction of
Th1roughfare Gap. The new camp
will be made at Gainesville. II has
not been decided definitely what the
destination will be, but all indications
now point the selection of Tnoroughfa
Gap, about sixteen miles above here, as
the site of the permanent camp. All
the troops have left Manassas except
few stragglers, who are being rapidly
gathered in. A company has been
ordered to guard private property,
maintaining order, and arrest straeg-
lers, ard will remain here indefinitely"
A letter from Camp Alger says: NO
thing official can be learned as to when
the Third will leave here, though the
impression among the officers is that
we will not go before the first OF next
week, and that our camp will be near
Thoroughfare Gap. I!hsve it from a
reliable source that President Mckinley
stated that he selected the regiments
for the provisional division under Maj
Gen. Wade, and that they would not be
changed, and would go to Porto Rico
positively, whether peace waa declared
or rot"
THoRoUGHFARE, Va, Aug. 9-.Col
Schall's brigade is now encamped here.
The march was made over terribly
muddy roads, and the men and their
belongings are soaked through. As the
Second division is to await The coming
OF the First division, under command Of
Gen. NJ. c. Butler, the men began pre-
parations for permanent camp in the

was being called, and every street
crowded with soldiers, Gen. Butler and
two of his staff rode into our lines. The
storm prevailing, the long roll in pro-
gress. the dark, and the commands for
the companies to fall in, could easily be
mistaken for disorder. This was the
only seeming disorder existing. To
sum the matter up in brief, the trouble
that occurred was not within the lines
of this regiment.
1.-THE difficulty did not occur within
the lines of this regiment. The excited
crowd that joined the chase of the
negro consisted largely of the hospital
corps, few men from this regiment,
and men from other regiments, and
civilians. 1t was in the lines of the
Second Division hospital. The men of
this regiment, upon being ordered
back to within the lines, returned with
out any trouble hatever, in an order.
ly manner
Much indignation is expressed every
where in camp because of the unjust and
unfair position in which the Sd Virginia
Infantry has been placed as a conse-
quence of the fracas outside the regi-
mental lines Monday night.
