WE WERE ORDERED HOME.

"Four OF us, as have said were too
sick to move. Captain Butler had orders
not to take sick men with him on the
transport, but he would not leave us be-
hind. There wasn't an ambulance to be
found and Captain Butler was obliged to
pey 81 apiece for two hacks to get us into
Santiago. He and the other fellows
struggled us to Santiago and about eleven
O'Clock at night we were put on board the
transport Saratoga.
ST don't know much about what hap
pened during this time, but the fellows
told me something about it. There were
q lot of doctors going home on furloughs
and they had care of the sick men on the
way north. We got on board the ship on
Friday night and didn't sail until Sun
to Montauk Point to a day, for We
reached there ON Sunday morning.
IT only got milk punch, with rum in it
on the way north. For a week I laid fiat

left Santiago they took me ashore at Mon

hospital This was in ward p, and Bert
Locke of Augusta was only two cots from
me in the same ward.
"The hospitals were partly in tents and
partly in wooden sheds. Each she'd hel d

The principal paper manufacturers
of the United States have formed into
a trust, with s55, 100000 capital.
Their purpose is to mouopolize the
business, raise the price Of paper s. a
ton and levy upon the newspaper and
bookreaders Of the land a tax Of not
less than s4,OOO,OOO a year. There
are seventeen mills in the trust, and
they propose to drive all the ether
mills out Of existence, so that they
may charge what price they please for
the paper on which newspapers are
printed. This is conspiracy to tax
knowledge. to levy tribute upon edu-
cation, to blackmail intelligence itself.
Unfortunately the tariff duties aid the
conspiracy. They not only prevent
Canadian and other; foreign competi-
tion in the sale Of paper, but they ex-
clude Canadian wood-pulp. The free
admission of wood-pulp and paper
would go far to crush the conspiracy.

The extent to which irrigation has
been developed in Nebraska appears in
the surprising total Of I,430 miles of
bitches constructed, with LOGS more
miles in course of construction. Thus
far in thirty-nine counties 1,2l6,52I acres
has been benefited By irrigation, the
estimated consequent increase in the
value of the land being S9,732,l92, or
about IS per acre. The cost of the bitches
in operation was Sl,576,3S3, or about 16
per cent of the added value. Tho work
in course of construction will cost about
as much more. When done, one county
will have gig miles of ditch, another
county 154, and two others about 220
each. In addition application has been
made for water for o,771 more miles of
bitches, but permits are withheld until it
can be determined whether there will be
water to spare. These contemplated
bitches will cost over S6,5OO,OOO, will
water 159,797 acres, and are expected to
add over S25,O00,00O to the value OF the
land.

A Double Tragedy at a Georgia
Church.

ATLANTA, GA, Feb. 13.-A special
from Blue Ridge, Ca, to the Consti-
tuition says:
The country around here is greatly
excited over a bloody murder and the
subsequent killing Of the murderer by
attendants at the church, the murder
taking place at country church to-
day. :,
The arrival of Mr.. Weeks to call
upon the sheriff and posse to proceed
to the scene of the tragedy and restore
quiet, brought the first news of the
terrible occurrence. The sheriff at
once summoned strong force, and is
now absent upon his mission.
1t seems that the congregation of
the church, situated about 12 miles
distant from this point, had quietly
assembled for the purpose of devotion
while some of the young men remain
ed outside to discuss the topics of the
day rather than enter the house of
worship. A young man named Raw
lins from North Carolina, who has
been visiting this section, made his
appearance and was proceeding quietly
toward the church door when some Of
the boys began pokins fun at him
because Of some popularity in his
gait. The words spoken were SO often
siye that Rawlins turned around to
reply to what was said, when young
man named Frey began abusing him.
The two men came together and the
young North Carolinian was about to
get the best of the fight when Whit
billiard, another of the on-lookers,
drew his pistol and fred at Rawlins.
The ball entered the mans face on
the left cheek and ranging to the back
Of his neck, killed him instantly, and
he died in the clutches of his adver-
sary.
By this time everybody within hear
ing was aroused and the deepest indig-
nation prevailed that the young man
should have precipitated tragedy in
such a place. billiard had quietly
slipped away with several Of his COM
panions. Esquire Galloway, one Of
the leading citizens, and number of
responsible men got together and
decided that the foul tragedy should
be avenged. Mounting horses they
put out in pursuit and soon overlook
the fleeing murderer. He was called
upon to surrender, but paid no atten-
ton to the command. Finally, when
he saw that the men we're in earnest,
he backed himself against a tree, an
nounced that he would die game. Then
the firing began, when a bullet from
the posse struck him with fatal effect
and he fell to the ground with his
-ipger on the trigger of his pistol,
dySag in the very act of giving re-
sponsesaA.his assailants.
All consem@tive and law-abldlng
people indorse tEs''s.s'saisef the possS
but the dead man had f71enaAFld
trouble is expected from this quarter.

To Raise Ohio's Capitol.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 8.-H. Shec-
Ter, Of Chicago, has made a PROPOSE
ton to lift the massive capitol of
Ohio and place another story under
the structure. Shceler says he will
accomplish this remarkable feat for
$500, 600, and Senator Miller, Of Lick
ing County, has promised to introduce
a bill to provide the funds for the un-
dertaking. The present capitol is in
adequate to the necessities of the va
rious State departments, and the
previous Legislature provided for the
remodelling of the structure. Plans
have been adopted to this end, but
the great expense chat would be en-
tailed has aroused opposition to the
plans. The Ohio capitol, built OF ma
tive limestone. is one of the most
massive buildings in the country and
covers more than two acres. Ii is cs :.
timatcd that there arc many hundred
thousand tons OF stone in the struc
ture. Mr. Sheclcr proposes to raise
this immense structure without DIS
turbing single occupant Of the build
ing. He would cut off the building at
the base and raise it with screws.
This work alone would require forest
of timber, thousands Of screws, and
the labor of thousand men for three
weeks. The entire work of complct-
ing the structure would occupy about
three months. Mr.. Sheeler 8 plans
propose remodeling the dome and put
ting in elevators and all modern con-
yeniences.

We have ON various occasions called
attention to the present strikes in the
New England States, pointing out the
advantages of cotton manufacturing in
the South, believing, that with proper
efforts on the part of our leading citi-
zens the most desirable results could
be attained. Anderson to-day has
greater prospects than any other town
in the Piedmont belt. but VIC cannot
afford to wait for the coming Of CAPT
tai or industrial development without
using the proper means to bring it
here. To stand still in this progress
sive age means retrogression. If &c.
600 spindles have stimulated our
growth, helped build up our town,
increased our business, and enhanced
values in real estate, what would be
the effect of $4,000 or 1000 spin
dies? We have natural resources and
wonderful facilities for stimulating
our growth il VIC will only take ad-
vantage of our greatest opportunity
and send representative to the New
England States for the purpose of
soliciting capital and industries to
our town. Nothing is accomplished
in this age without desperate effort;
the struggle for existence means su-
perior methods iu all Of our undertak-
ings for the accomplishment Of com
mcrcial and industrial supremacy.
Anderson cannot afford to wait to sec
what other communities may or may
not do in that direction. Let our
vide awake city fathers look into this
matter and take such steps as will Sc
cure permanent and steady building Of
more industries In our midst.
