One OUT One In.
Cetzendanner is said to bave
held on to his Office.

Army life is preferable to uncer tainty
and a small salary at best-Pearson
has resigned-What he expects to
gain by this is not known-Two cases
will now have to be decided The
court will rule against both how
eYer-Makes no difference after ac-
cepting commission il this yacates
the office.
The following special is from Charles
Town in regard to the resignation of
Senator Getzendanner.
The statement to the effect that
Capt. II. S. Getzendanner, of COM
nj. Second West Virginia regiment,
has resigned, is incorrect. He is a
hold-over Republican Senator from
the Thirteenth district who was seat
ed by the last legislature, although
D. w. Shaffer was elected by so votes.
Numerous papers throughout the
State have recently published his res
sgnation as captain Of company M.
but he was here on Monday and de-
died it. He returned to his company
Monday night. He will be at the
next session of the legislature to claim.
his seat.
Lieut.. Pearson another hold-over
Senator has resigned.
This will still further complicate
the matter of the hold over Senators
who have accepted commissions in the
army and they will have to be ruled
out separately.
However if they vacated their seats
by accepting the commission in the
first place no amount resigining
that they can do now will help mat
tiers at all. They are out and cannot
get back by any act of their own.
The courts will rule on this point
and on whether or not a man can
hold another office while the legisla-
ture is not in session. 1t is very
likely that they will hold that it
makes no difference whether it is or
not. Their decision can hardly be
anything out adverse to the senators
and to the effect that they have va
Gated their seats by their acceptance
of the commissions which they have
held.

A GREAT SUCCESS.
Mr.. Riddle Closes his series Of Read
ings with ssHamlet."

Mr.. Riddle read Shakespeare's
Hamlet last evening to large and
appreciative audience Indeed there
has been a steady growth in num-
bers and cordiality from the first
evening. The reading of Hamlet"
was superbly done, the part of "mel-
ancholy Dane" being especially well
taken. Hamlet's stimulation of
madness was most skillfully shown
Mr.. Riddle very soon got himself in
touch with his audience especially
as regarded the part Of Hamlet, as
was shown by the applause following
each scene portraying Hamlet's
character in some peculiar phase
The scene in which Hamlet instructs
the players to portray a murder
similar to that of his father by his
uncle was simply perfect. There
has been from the first a thorough
appreciation of Mr.. Riddle by our
people who have been cordial in
their response to his magnificent
work. Mr.. Riddle goes directly to
Newly DIRK to read land we all feel that
Morgantown is faring about as well
as the great cities in having literary
treats.

UNLOADED GUN.
Denny Jenkins finds out how dangerous
it is to fool with one on Wednesday.

The shooting OF Denny Jenkins
which was mentioned briefly yester-
day is another of the unloaded gun
getting in its work. He was shot by
revolver that had been snapped
hundreds of times and it had failed
to go of until it was pointed at some
one.
He had been engaged in swapping
it at the fire and floor and a number
Of things about the room. Some one
spoke to him about it and said that
the unloaded gun was very danger
GUS weapon. He remarked that he
was not afraid TO snap it at himself
and pointed it at himself and pulled
the trigger.
The report followed and Denny
knew more about how to fool with an
unloaded gun. The ball did not hurt
him very seriously and he will be all
right again in a short while.

HEARD HIS FUNERAL SERMON.
A Georgia Citizen Who Didn't Want
Lying.

ATLANTA, Ga, December H. At
the court house at Swainsboro, EN-
anuel county, yesterday, Seaborn
Bell, an honored citizen of that county
celebrated his S5th anniversary by
having his pastor preach his funeral
sermon. Bell says that during his
life he has seen so much post-mortem
deception and undeserved praise accor-
ded hardened sinners that he proposed
that nothing but ohe truth should be
spoken about him. He intended to
declare the statements false if the
minister strained the truth in speak
ing Of his character.

MUSGRAVE RELEASED.
Comes out ofjsil after four years
Incarceration.

nc iVVhs osoi Town all mOTutHS-SeeS
many changes In the place-Calis on
the little son OF the sheriff-Tak
the noon tain for 0pekiska-a fami-
ly council will be held there--He
may not return home-End ofa ia
mons case.
David Musgrave is free man.
However while delighted at the
joys which freedom has brought he is
at sea over his future movements and
habitation. He spent the morning
looking over town and seeing the
many changes that come over the town
since he had last looked on IT,
He first came out of the jail and
asked for Ben the little son of Sher-
if Garrison who has been sick for
several days and unable to be about
the prisoners with whom he is a gem
eral favorite.
That duty when done he left after
thanking the family of the sheriff for
the many kindnesses that they had
shown him during the four years of
his imprisonment. He had been in
the jail for four years lacking nine
days.
He took the noon train for Opekis-
ka and a family council will be held
there relative to his future movements
He is fearful of returning to his old
home where the feeling against him
is bitter.
At the time OF the alleged crime
the feeling was very intense and all
the people up there were down on the
prisoner. This feeling has had the
sharpest parts worn off during the
years that have elapsed and now the
neighbors are disposed to look more
kindly on the man who has suffered
much. They are law abiding people
and no matter what theirSfeelings may
be they will do nothing but what may
be expected from such a class of clti-
Zens.
David may go to his son who lives
in Doddridge county and end his days
there with him. His home has been
sold and he is penniless from the ex-
pense attending the many trials that
he has had and the tedious course Of
the law in his case. With his depar-
ture from the jail closes one of the
most famous cases in the history of
the state.

The Mosquito Fleet.

While the Scuffletown Guards had
the enemy surrounded in Hen Roost
and the Ridge Pea Rifles had those
at Watermelon Patch helnmed in,
the Mosquito fleet under Admiral
Gallinipper, silently sailed up Twelve
Mile creek, entered Factory Bay and
Immediately proceeded to storm Lex
ington. For several nights the sing
ing of the flying missels was fearful.
Men, women and children walked the
floors in nervous anxiety, in search of
place of safety. Owing, however,
to the bad aim of the gunners of the
fleet, none of the houses were hitand
about the only damage done, aside
from the inconvenience of being kept
awake by the "singing", was many
small red spots on the body OF nu.
merous persons. A detachment Of
the Guards and Rifles, by force
marches, arrived at the scene of ac-
ton and by deeds of unparalleled
heroic bravery and brilliant maneu-
vers, finally succeeded in dislodging
the enemy, and the feet then retired
to its anchorage in the dark lagoons
and shady retreats in and around the
mouth of Twelve Mile creek.

Struck and Killed.

VIM. Corley, colored, formerly be-
longing to Mr.. Adam Roberts, and
who has been living around Bates
burg for sometime, met with a horr:
bic death at that place last Saturday
night. He was attempting to cross
the tracks of the Southern Railway,
at the depot just ahead of an engine
and tender, which were approaching
the depot backwards. He was not
quick enough and the tender struck
him in the back. He was dragged
down the track for over 200 yards
and. his body was fearfully mangled.
Coroner Craps went to the scene of
the accident and empanelled jury
of inquest, which after hearing the
evidence, returned a verdict that be
tween the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock
on Saturday, July 80, Vim. Corley
came to his death by being struck by
an engine.

Spain Accepts Americas Peace
Terms.

The following is the official state
ment given out by authority Of the
President at the state department as
to the terms of peace offered by the
United States. In order to remove
any misapprehension in regard to the
negotiations as to pace between the
United States and Spain it is deemed
proper to say that the terms offered
by the United States to Spain in the
note handed to the French ambassa-
dor are in substance as follows:
The President does not now put
forward ally claim for pecuniary in
demnity, but requires the relinquish-
ment Of all claim OF sovereignty over
or title to the island of Cuba as we'll as
to the immediate evacuation by Spain
of the island; the cession to the
United States and immediate evacua-
ton of Porto Rico and other islands
under Spanish sovereignty in the
West Indies; and the like cession of
an island in the Ladrones. The
United States will occupy and hold
the city, bay and harbor of Manila
pending the conclusion of treaty of
peace which shall determine the con-
troll, disposition and government of
the Philippines"

Incipient Fire.

Last Wednesday afternoon about
6 o'clock smoke was seen issuing
from the law office of Graham &
Nelson, over DR.. J. F.. Kaufmann )
drug store. Fortunately for our
town several persons were standing
near and Immediately rushed up
stairs, broke open the door and
found the stack of wood on fire. Mr.
John W. Earhardt, Newberrys vet
eran fireman being among the first
to reach the fire, did the proper thing
at the proper time, and, with others,
succeeded in extinguishing the flames
before any damage was done. 1t is
supposed that the origin of the fire
was from cigar stump being thrown
among the wood. 1t was fortunate
thing that the fire was discovered as
soon as it was for had it made such
headway as to get beyond control
nearly the whole of the business por-
ton of the town would have been
laid in ashes.

ton. Rev. S. G. Ballentiae, assisted

thoughtfuluess, had all the arrange
ments made for the entertainment Of
the visitors. Nothing was left undone
which promised to he for the con-
venience and comfort of those who
attended. The work of tie conyen,
ton was successfully and promptly
performed and the addresses and
debates were of high and interest
ing order and were very edifying and
instructive.
The singing was exceptionally fine
and charming and showed that Mr..
J. E. Haltiwauger had faithfully and
efficiently instructed his class.
The hospitality of the people was
unbounded in generosity and the
doors and hearts of the people were
thrown wide open to welcome the

Cromer, Brookland, president: Rev.
S. c. Ballentine, White Rock, secre-
t r.; J. W. Dreher, Esq treasurer.

lowing is taken: Schools reported,

E. L. Lybrand of Brookland, Rev.

A. R Beck Of Rightwell, and Rev.
G. P. Boozer of Etheredge.
Numerous candidates were on hand
and some put in telling licks, bit
mixing religion and politics for the
sake of being elected to Office is a
reprehensible piece Of business and
it should not be countenancei by
those who esteem the religion of
JESUS Christ above all else.

best advantage liz dancing the may

The boys Of Lexington are greatly
excited over the prospects OF raising
a company from this county for the
2nd regiment. But the whole county
is excited over the low prices at
which Plat, Hook & Shull, are sell
ing family and plaptltion supplies,
bacon, corn, flour and tobacco. If
you want the best goods for the
least money, go there to make your
purchases and you will not be disap

Coed News from Col. Vile Zones.
The War Department G ants All
That Was Asked
Tue (Co,ua:5ial state,
There may be some hope yet for
the second regiment, and every body
will be delighted to hear the good
news sent yesterday by Col. Willie
Jones in telegram from Washing
ton to GOV. E.lerbe.
During the morning this is the in
formation which came from the COM
mander of the regiment, who went
to Washington few days ago:
Washington, July 81.
Gov. W. II. Ellerbe, Columbia, S. G..
With valuable assistance of Sena-
tor McLaurin the war department
has granted all we wanted, and I do
not think there will be any trouble
to get up second regiment now.
Willie Jones.
This is better result than many
looked for and it shows that the ad-
ministration is willing to give this
State all the assistance she needs
and that South Carolinas second
regiment is wanted
Col. Jones said before leaving that
he would ask Secretary Alger to
allow him or Capt. Fuller to appoint
at least six or eight additional mus
tering officers and also local exanin-
ing physicians in any town where
it was likely recruits could be had.
Col. Jones thought if these and few
other minor points were granted him
that the regiment could be formed
in a short while, and from bis tele.
gram it is seen that his requests
have been granted in full.
This will put new life into the
work of recruiting, and everybody in
the State will be glad if the new
rules should prove effective enough
to make the second regiment assured.
