Tho negro who was shot by Mr.. w. S.
Sholor, of Gastonia, at Gaffney, last Sat
His name was Doc Jackson. The cor
onor's jury which investigated the, case
regarded the matter rs an unfortunate
mistake without criminal intent on the
part of Mr.. Sholor, and tho negro's
mother asked that Mr.. Shclor bo dis
charged. Mr.. Shelor paid tho expense
OF tho surgical aid that tho negro re-
ceiyod, had the remains shipped to Spar
tanburg, and gave tho mother $40. Jack
son was a worthless character, and was
suffering from loathsome disease. Tho
affair, however, was rcgretable. No
officer has right to shoot at fleeing
suspect, and if tho mattor had boon
pushed against Mr. Sholor he would have
been put to considerable trouble.-York

MAD AT THE BRITISH.
Sraniards at Manila Have "a Gricy-
aRcc Against John Hull.


London, May IA. 1919 The HOngkong
correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
The Spaniards at Manila are incensed
against the British because il is he
lieved that the Esmeralda piloted the
Americans into the bay. 1t is feared
that the Spanish soldiers. who are I'M
paid, will attack the British factories.
The SpaniardS have made up their
minds to hOuld cut to the last. They
are in "A position to give the Americans
"a deal of trouble. There are 5000
Spanish soldiers in the garrison at
Manila and 100000 volunteers enrolled.
Scores of coasting steamers are in-
prisoned on the River Pasig, which is
blocked at ia" mouth by sunken
schooner. For the following infOrma-
ton | am indebted to Mr.. Wildmah
the American consul here, who tells
me that. according to his dispatches Il
flag of truce is flying over Manila and
the people are allowed to proceed free
ly To and from the ships in the harbor.
The Americans are on duty night ami
day. on the lookout for boats which
endeayOr 10 run the blockade with
food and supplies. The hospital Is
supported by the Americans. The
SpaniariS are boasting that the battle

The agricultural department has just
issued an interesting pamphlet on the
subject of forest growth and sheep
grazing in the Cascade mountains of
Oregon. prepared by Frederick V. CO.
vile. Discussing the question of for
est fires in the Cascade reserve, ii says
those of the present period are by no
means confined to the sheep grazing
areas. Parts of the southern Cascades,
in which sheep have never grazed,
have been found to be riddled by fires
and in general forest fires increase In
the reserved region proportionately to
the increase of human occupancy Of
oil classes. 1t is clear as a result of
careful inquiry, the pamphlet says.
that at the present time most sheep
herders and packers are extremely
careful not to allow their camp fires
20 spread and not TO set fire intention
ally, though it is unquestionably true
that in the early days OF sheep raising
there was widespread belief among
sheep men that burning of the forest
was positive benefit to the industry.

The rian in the engine room has liz
tie of the fun or glory of a modern sea
fight. He hears the booming Of the
near and distant guns, but he does not
know how the battle is going. The
ship may be a hopeless wreck, and the
next minute may be his last, but that
is none of his affair. The engines
must keep moving, and they must re-
spond instantly to the will of the ships
brain in the coming tower or the bat
tie is lost. The whole ship is one
mass OF complicated machinery. 1t is
steered by steam; it's turrets are turn
ed by steam directly or indirectly,
through electric, pneumatic or hydrau-
lie power; its great guns are loaded by
steam; 1t is lighted by electricity which
is supplied by dynamoes run by steam;
it is ventilated by steam-steam is the
source of all its activities. Let the
engines cease to work and the ship
would die.

Stories Of Concentrated Action To.

Washington, May lin all official
quarters. the state department and
diplomatic, the reports coming from
London to the effect that some Of the
continental powers. particularly Ger.
many and France, have made protests

without the frequent intimation that
they are about 10 intervene 10 defeat

showing how far fetched such reports
are, an ambassador stated that inter.

Tbs water in Lake Superior is re-
ported to be thirty inches lower at the
opening of navigation this spring than
it has been before in years, and the
fact is viewed with alarm by vessel
interests. The big lake carriers are
unable to load their capacity, and at
the existing freight rates will lose con-
siderable money. The American Steel
Barge company may have difficulty in
launching vessels at the present stage.
In Lake Huron the water is high, and
the old theory Of subterranean pas
sage between the lakes is revived.
