kTRE decision Of the Municipal Court
which was attacked by attorneys Small

Ths Chief Justice In his remarks said;
1--WE have carefully considered the argu-

the plaintiff In error, AMI examined all
to the subject, having had the case under
advlsement since the last time Of this

EEARTRENDING ACCIDENT.
One Little Boy Shoots His Brother

No terrible accident in the annals Of

day last at the home Of Mrs. S. l.. Cog

favorite with boys to play bear: and it
was while this game was being played
that the dreadful accident occurred;
John G., thinking James had un!oaded
the gun, it being their custom to un-
load the gun before taking it into the
house when returning from hunting,
picked it up and playfully pointed it at
his little brother William, pulling the
trigger. in imitation of a hunter shoot

feet in William left shoulder, and the

happiness, died within half hour after

NEGRO PAYMASTER.
Georgia Troops Refused to Receive
Their Money from Him.

R. B. Wright, colorcd man who
was recently appointed major and pay
master by President Mckinley, had an
unpleasant experience at Camp John B
Gordon, St. Simon's island, last week.
He was detailed to pay of the troops at
Camp Gordon and arrived Thursday
morning with negro clerk. He was
not allowed to take frst-class passage
on the steamer to the island. and rather
than go..second class chartered a private
launch.
When the purpose Of his visit to the
camp became known the soldiers, all Of
whom are white, made loud protests
Wright feared violence and asked Col
onel Burgwin for guard detail, which
was furnished to him.
The commissioned officers Of the
Second North Carolina regiment refused
to allow the Negro officer the use Of
their tent, and he was forced to occupy
abandoned quarters. When Corporal
Giddings, Of Company G, Third Texas,
was called to receive his pay he refused
to accept it, and exclaimed:
My father was an officer in the Con-
federate army, and | have too much
good southern blood in my veins to ac-
cept my army pay from negro.
The Corporal then cursed the nagro
major roundly. This precipitated Il
commotion in camp and other soldiers
followed Giddings example. The pay
ments had to be discontinued.

GEN. WHEELER's SON DROWNED.
He and Lieut.. Kirkpatrick of Virginia
Meet Death in the Surf.

Thomas H. Wheeler, son Of Gen. Jo-
seph Wheeler and Second Lieut.. New
ton D. Kirkpatrick, First cavalry,
were probably drowned while bathing
at Camp Wikof, Montauk Point, We'd
nesdav afternoon. Young Wheeler
was a naval cadet in his second year.
He had been acting on his fathers staff
for some time past He was II years
Of age, was fine young fellow and had
made a host Of friends among the older
officers. Together with Lieut.. Kirk
patrick he went to the beach Wednes-
day afternoon to enjoy the surf bathing.
The surf ran high and the undertow
was very strong. Apparently no one
saw the young men drowned, and it
was not until about 6 o'clock that they
were missed. Their clothes were found
a short distance from Gen. Wheelers 5
tent, close to the water, and it is be-
lieved that the young officers were
swept away by the strong seas. While
in command at Camp Wikof Gen.
Wheelers headquarters were located on
high hill near the station, consider
able distance back from the water. 1t
was only that his headquarters were
shifted down to the beach. His tent
and the tent of his staff officers are not
more than 20 yards ifrom the waters
edge. 1t was this change of location
that gave young Wheeler and young
Kirkpatrick an opportunity to indulge
themselves in the surf. They had Of
ten spoken Of so doing, and everyone
here is convinced that they were
drowned Wednesday. Of the accident
Gen. Wheeler has nothing to say. His
three daughters, two of whom are nurses
in the general hospital and the other a
nurse in the detention hospital, are
with him, griefstricken. Lieut..
Kirkpatrick was from Virginia. He
was appointed second lieutenant June
y, 1896.
The bodies of Naval Cadet Thomas
H. Wheeler. son of Major General
Joseph Wheeler, and Of Second Lieu
tenant Newton D. kirkpatrick, First
Z. S. cavalry, who were drowned while
bathing in the sea, came in with the
tide and were thrown on the beach
Thursday morning about 2 o'clock.
The bodies were found lying close to-
gether just below the life saving sta
ton about quarter Of a mile from
where the young men had gone in
bathing. A detail of sixty men from
the Second cavalry had been patrolling
the beach with lanterns. The life saw
ers who knew the coast had predicted
that the bodies would drift in where
thew did.

sailors as a result Of the war with

will be paid in accordance with that

SOUTH CAROLINA REGIMENTs.
One to be Mustered Out and the Other
Retained in Service,

The Washington correspondent Of
the News and Courier telegraphs under
date of Wednesday as follows:
South Carolina volunteers are striv
ing to be retained in the army, while
troops from other states are pleading to
be mustered out of service. Unless
some unlocked for influence is brought
to bear upon the secretary of war the
First regiment Of South Carolina troops
will be mustered out in accordance with
recent order promulgated by Adju-
tant General Corbin There seems to
be conflict of evidence as to the de-
sire of the men of the First regiment.
Tuesday, Lieutenant Colonel Tillman
called at the war department., and pre-
sented petition, purporting to be
signed by 900 or 700 men Of the regi-
ment, requesting to be mustered out.
Wednesday, Major John Earle. Of the
same regiment, called upon the Presi-
dent and the secretary of war, and
urged that the First regiment be retain
ed in the service. He stated that
majority of the men had signed Colonel
Tillmans petition under misappre-
hension, and if vote of the regiment
is fairly taken it will be found that
nearly all of the men have anxious to
remain in the service. When this
statement was made to Adjutant Gen
eral Corbin by Major Earle, General
Corbin said the policy Of the govern
ment is to give the troops who entered
the service first the first chance Ito get
out. He added that he had received
numerous letters from members Of the
First regiment asking to be mustered
out. Unless the president directs
otherwise, the First regiment will be
mustered out in accordance with the
expressed desires Of majority Of the
regiment as set forth in Colonel Till
mans petition.
Iti asserted by some Of those who
do not desire the First regiment mus
tered out, that it is political move to
get the members of that regiment home
in time to take an active part in the
second primary election for governor
From the same source comes the sug-,
gestion that the Second regiment, but
recently mustered into the service
should 60 out and allow the First to re-.
main in. When the Second regiment.
was ordered to be mustered in few
weeks ago, it was with the distinct un-
derstanding between the president,
Secretary Alger, Senator Mclaurin and
Colonel Willie Jones, that the Second
regiment would be willing to remain IN
the service and perform garrison duty
in Cuba or Porto Rico for the privilege
of being mustered in under the circun.-
stances The First having asked to be
mustered out, and the Second express
ed willingness to remain in. the order
of the secretary Of war seems to be just.
In the event Of the First regiment going
out, Major Earle may be transferred to
General Lees staff General Lee and
several officers Of Lees corps have re-
ouested the transfer.

Spain Flies a Protest.

The Madrid correspondent Of The
Standard says: The government recent
ly forwarded to NJ. Cambon, the French
ambassador at Washington, a long and
strongly argued statement respecting
the Philippines which hewill communi-
cate verbally to the Washington govern
ment. Spain protests against the capl-
tulation Of Manila, becauseitwas made
two days after the protocol was signed.
1t says that the revenue from the Ma
Mia customs may continue devoted to
the service of the Philippine loan Of
1897; and finally: it insists upon the
United States compelling Aguinaldo to
liberate a thousand Spaniards now in
his custody, most Of whom were placed
there, the note asserts, by Admiral
Dewey.

The watermelon juice contains lar

Juice of the cane. but we are informed
that cne gallon Of syrup can be made

of the opinion that an acre Of land
would produce more syrup if planted in
