Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
SHELBY, n. c., April 25.-Mit Sadler,
the young Negro who wantonly murder
ed William Wells, white, near Grover,
and only short distance from the York
county line, last January, was tried at the
Cleveland superior court last week. The
trial consumed only one day and the jury
returned a verdict of guilty of murder in
the first degree. He was sentenced to be
hanged Friday, May 81. A motion for a
new trial was made by the prisoners
counsel. The motion was overruled and
notice of appeal was given.
The history of the crime for which
Sadler will pay the death penalty is still
fresh in the public mind. Sadler and his
companion, John Ratchford, both York
county Negroes, met Will Wells, who
hadIbeen hunting, in the road, and asked
him for drink of liquor. Wells told
them that he had no liquor, and after
some dispute about this, Sadler jerked
revolver out of Wells's pocket. Wells
demanded its return but the Negro re-
fused and started off, Wells following him
and asking for his property. The Negro
turned and shot him down, and after he
had fallen and was in his death throes,
fired q second time at him and then threw
the pistol at his head. The Negro was
arrested by some parties who came up;
but not until he was shot three times.
Wells was harmless, inoffensive man,
who had no enemy but himself, and his
murder was one of the most wanton
and unprovoked in the history of this
county. The verdict Of the jury meets
the entire approval of the public, and
Judge Greene, in his impressive sentence
of the prisoner, remarked that it was
most righteous verdict, because if there
ever was a premeditated murder this
cruel Staying of this inoffensiye man on
the public road was one. He said that it
was only another evidence Of what fire.
quently happens when young man,
white or black, starts out with bottle. of
whisky in one pocket and a pistol in the
other. Ratchtord, who was present but
did not take any part, was held as the
principal witness against Sadler.
The Cleveland Guards, Shelby's militia
ry company, will probably leave for Raj
eigh Tuesday, at which place the entire
National Guard of this state will be mob
ilized this week.

- The United States firstclass battleship
Oregon left Valparaiso OH Monday Of last
week for Montevideo. The Spanish tor
pedo boat Temerario left Buenos Ayres,
on last Friday. The belief was that the
torpedo boat had been ordered to inter
cept the Oregon, and the newspapers were
afraid it might succeed. The Oregon,
however, had been instructed not to risk
an attempt to pass the Strait of Magellan,
but to go on around Cape Horn. Not
withstanding this fact, the news fakirs
told yarns of tho capture of the Oregon
The Oregon is one of the finest vessels Of
the American navy, and those who be-
lieved the story were considerably de-
pressed at the news. They were relieved
to learn that it was not true. The Span
iards may capture the Oregon; but it is
not likely. If they do, they will have 6
wonderfully fine vessel.

Already War Prospects Are Influencing
Prices.
A Chicago dispatch of Saturday
says wheat has been nervous during
the past week; but at the close on
Friday, July option showed an ad-
vance of 81, while May gained st.
War prospects, which eliminated on
Friday, largely controlled values.
Spectators held widely diverging
opinions as to the ultimate effect of
war upon grain values in the United
States. Liverpool quotations advanced
steadily and enormous quantities were
sold for direct export, cable offerings
being accepted with avidity. But
when ocean freight rates took sud-
den jump on Friday the bears flooded
the PIT with offerings. Their theory
is that with advancing ocean rates and
higher prices at Liverpool, prices on
this side must seek lower level at
the present time, or at least until the
question of privateering has been set
tied. July, which sold week ago at
S42 cents, touched 80 cents at the
opening on Friday but after a short
period of steadiuess dropped to SS4
and closed ] cents from the bottom.
Favorable crop news and seasouable
weather generally had considerable in
huence on distant options.
May wheat did not feel the effects
of these considerations and closed the
week at an advance of ST cents.
Higher prices at the northwest and
steady acceptance Of all the cash
wheat offered abroad influenced the
near months entirely.

- Commenting on the reported inten-
ton of the United States, to cut the cable
between Havana and Key West, the
London Times suggests that it would sci
an evil precedent, in that Spain might
take the opportunity to cut all cables
landing on American shores. Unable tc
see any reason why the Key West cable
should be cut with the United States al.
ready in control of one end of it, we are
inclined to doubt the truth of the report
so far as it pertains to this country.

= In some way the idea has gotten out
north that South Carolinians will not fight
in this war except on South Carolina soil
The very suggestion gives us that tired
feeling. If South Carolinians 60 into the
matter at all, they will answer as quickly
an order to storm Madrid as to defend
Charleston. One may be just as neces-
sary as the other, and having once started
to the front, South Carolinians are not
going to look backward. Whatever may
he the sentiment or the policy or the pol
itics of the thing, this, in our judgment
will prove to be the facts.

We note that the last issue of The

in that. What is wanted now is the news.

of the the late war, many of our best cit

commenced. After that they made as

the opportunity when this trouble is over,

The army that we are sending
against Spain is, perhaps, the young
est that ever went To battle The
youthfulneSs of the volunteers from
the west and north who have passed
through Atlanta has been subject Of
much remark, and the Georgia volun-
teers are mostly young men. The en-
thusiasm and yigor of youth are of
great value in war. Our boys are go
ing out with light hearts and with
the flush OF confidence ON their cheeks.
They VIII gain experience rapidly aud
many OF them will distinguish them
selves. The youth of the country has
responded nobly to the call for troops
as American youth always has. In
every one Of our wars young men have
won glorious names and frightened
