SIT UATION AT MADRID
AN OPTIMISTIC SPIRIT PREVAILS

Madrid, October MANY reports have
been sent out stating that the Spanish
government had lodged serious protests at
Washington and had ordered its Paris COM
miss on to stop negotiating on account of
the course Of events in the Philippines
There is no truth in them, The Spanish
government does not propose making any
reclamations whatever. Premier Sagasta
says that by the protocol concluded at
Washington the United States engaged not
to give any assistance to Aguinado, and
he feels sure that President Mckinley will
keep his word,
In ministerial circles the spirit is OPP
timistic. The talk is that the terms of
peace will not be unfayor5be to Spain, and
It is anticipated that the president will act
in generous spirit. and that Spain viii
not be deprived of the Philippines

SHEEP RAISING In YORK.

The Only Reason 1t Is Not Profitable Is
Because It Does Not Get II Trial.
Editor of The Yorkville Enquirer:
Being a subscriber to and close
reader of your highly esteemed paper,
l shall consider it a favor if you will
allow me the use of short space in
which to say something about sheep
raising down in your section.
The subject has been suggested to
me by recent articles in THE ENQUIR-
Err. In one of these somebody was
quoted as saying that sheep raising is
no longer a profitable industry in the
south. Twice in my life have been
down in York and Chester counties,
and while there l used my eyes to such
an extent that 1 was very much i'm
pressed with your country. / was
especially struck with the idea that it
would be a good locality in which to
make sheep raising profitable, and
after reading what was said on the
wheat subject in your issue of the Sth
instant, am convinced that with very
little change those observations would
also apply to sheep raising.
In my opirion, from what l have
seen and know, the whole question re.
solves itself down to this: Do the
people of York and Chester like NUT
ton? If they do not, then there is no
need to try to revive the industry but
if they do, sheep raising can be made
a success. The mountains of Tennes-
see are a good locality for sheep.
Then why not the foothills of North
Carolina and the highlands of South
Carolina?
Your land will produce any kind of
grain or forage, and you have land
it is in A cents cotton now-that
would make as fine pasturage as is to
be found in the United States. You
have also numerous, never failing
springs, of cool sweet water, pure at
mosphere, and above all mild winters.
If such county as yours is not suita-
BILE for sheep raising, then / would like
to know where the sheep raising coun-
try is to be found.
Some may say, "But wool is not a
good price" That is true. For sew
eral years past the price of wool has
been very low. But even at the pres
ent price, the wool will nearly pay the
cost of keeping a sheep, and then you
have lamb besides, for your profit.
Lambs weighing from so to GO pounds
always bring the highest market price.
On account of the milder winters the
southern sheep raiser would be able
to put his lambs on the market at a
much earlier date than can his north
ern competitor, and that would be an
advantage. I repeat that if sheep
raising is not profitable in your sec
ton, in my opinion it is because the
industry does not receive proper at
tention. JOHN MCMILLAN.

From Camden to Sumter.
Columbia State, Friday: Before the
sale of the Ohio River and Charleston
railroad its authorities had contem-
plated running a branch line from
Camden to Sumter. This would have
given the road two outlets ; one by the
Coast Line and the other by the South
Carolina and Georgia. Since the lat
ter road has absorbed the Ohio River
and Charleston road, it has also seen
fit to establish the branch line. The
Ohio River and Charleston people had
already had a route surveyed. Mr.. l..
A. Emerson, of the South Carolina and
Georgia, was in the city yesterday con-
ferring with the railroad commission
ers in regard to the minutiae of build
ing the proposed branch road. 1t is
not known when the new road will be
built but it is reasonably certain that
such step will be taken.

t Withdraw Charges.

Will Not NttnuraW CnarSes.
The court martial charges against
Lieutenant Colonel James H. Tillman
were made by Lieutenant Wade H.
Ligon, of Greenville. An effort was
make by would-be peace makers to
patch up the matter by persuading
Lieutenant Ligon to withdraw the
charges. That official refuses to do
anything of the kind. He says that
he made the charges because he be-
lieve it to be his duty, and he does not
propose to take any action that will
look like a compromise.
To the Pen For Five Years.
Columbia State, Thursday: The
people of the state are generally famil'
lar with the sensational arrest and
subsequent trial of the Riser brothers
at Pomaria last spring, on the charge
of Systematically robbing some freight
cars. Last week their attorney with
drew their appeal to the state supreme
court and yesterday the two unfortu
nate young men were brought to Col
umbia to live felon's life for the next
five years, unless executive clemency
be sooner enlisted in their behalf. The
young men were neatly dressed, and
had not the hardened look, nor indiffer
ent air of the convict, and the infor
nation that they were sentenced mer
brought with the announcement 6
decided shock.

Columbia Correspondence News anC
Courier, Wednesday: The following
letter was received today by Adjutanl
Frost, and it is quite striking indica
tion as to what is thought of the ac
ton of some few of the men: "Ad.
iutant Frost: Can or will you put 6
stop to your men coming to town with
pistols buckled around them, with the
main purpose of soaring women and
little children? We, the citizens o.
this town, are heartily tired of being
bulldozed by these men, the riff:raff o
the state, and something must be done
to hold them down or there will be
trouble, because we cannot aHord 10
have our wives and children frighten'
ed by brutes calling themselves men.
Our children are afraid to go and
come from school on account Of these
men doing so badly and threatening
them with their pistols and knives
Shame upon an officer that will allow
such conduct TO be carried on by their
interiors. Will you please put stop
to all this, and you will greatly oblige
a number of citizens of Columbia" No
name is signed to this letter. Some
few of the members of the regiment
when they get downtown put on pis'
tolls but it is wrong to hold the entire
regiment or officers responsible for the
action of very few of the men. 1t
is quite fad for some of the officers
to 90 around girded with their heavy
pistols--for show but this custom is
playing out.

Now Some More Points.

We have no practical knowl ledge of
grain drills; but we have as much as any
other dealer in this county and we are
satisfied that there is 10 bette drill on the
market than the Champion. 1t is strong,
simple and easily managed, and is one
of the most popular drills with the farm
ers of Lincointon and Catawba counties,
n. c., and they know drills up that way.
They like it because it does what they
want done in the way that they want it
done, and it costs less money than any OF
the standard drills. If you want drill
see our sample and get descriptive circu-
lars and prices. GR1ST COUSINS.
