FIRST NIGHT AT CAMP THOMAS.
Safe Arrival of the First South Carolin
Regiment at Chickamauga.

CHICKAMAUGA PARK, GA, June T.
South Cardinals 1st regiment is TO-
night resting on sacred soil, on the
battlefield which her sons helped tc
make famous fighting for the Stars and
Bars. Her soldiers are tonight sleep
ing under the Stars and Stripes. Just
across the way from the Carolina
troops is a Minnesota regiment and
already good fellowship has been es
tablished. All along the route Of
march to their camp the South
Carolina boys were cheered, and the
heartiest yells came from the Massa-
chusetts, Vermont and Illinois boys
except perhaps the greeting given by
the Mississippi troops.
The scene here is warlike in the ex'
treme. On every hand are soldiers
army drays, troops of cavalry and
everything that is most indicative o.
warfare. This is no holiday affair and
everybody today seemed to be work
ing, setting things in order, or drilling
We have not yet seen very much o.
the camp or of the $4,000 soldies en-
camped here. That will come after
the men have settled down.
But of the men! They are all here
right side up. They are glad to be
here and delighted with the outlook
There was no star run made, and the
last section did not arrive here until 3
o'clock, although due here for break
fast. The delays on the Chattanooga
Rome and Southern railway were
frightful, and if it were not that the
South Carolina boys had had their ex
periences they might have kicked hard
But all is we'll that ends well.
The Catawba Rifles, Rlchland Vol
unteers and Butler Guards were the
first to arrive here at 2 o'clock, having
arrived in Chattanooga at noon. Co
lionel Aston had the men marched in
to the park, and as no definite order:
were available he directed that the
battalion 60 into the shade, and by 8
curious coincidence the first rest wa:
taken in the shade Of grove fillet
with Confederate graves.
Colonel Aston, after his interview
with Major General Brooke, started
the battalion on to camp. y marct
of mile or two was taken until &
dense forest was reached, where the
men rested for about an hour anC
were refreshed with iced beer, with
the compliments of Colonel Aston
After a while, with guide the troops
marched on to their camp ground
which is that vacated by an Illinois
regiment, just sent to Florida. The

READY TO CAPITULATE.
Believe That Santiago Will Surrender to
Sampson.

Believe That Santiago Will Surrender to
Sampson.
President Mckinley is now in direct
communication with the fleet at San.
tiago, says a Washington dispatch oi
June 8. Sampson has cut the cable
from that city and taken an end aboard
a ship which is provided with instru-
ments and operators. Therefore, he
can talk with the White House and
the board of strategy comfortably and
easily.
One interesting feature of this action
is that it contradicts the popular news
paper theory that the commanders o.
the fleet have been hampered by
supervisor and orders from Washing
ton and have been eager to avoid both
Evidently speaking from informa-
tion received directly from Sampson in
front of Santiago, the president said
this evening that it is not unlikely that
the city will surrender before the trans
ports bearing the troops reach Cuba
This has put everybody on edge and
there is a general feeling here that
news of the surrender and occupation
of Santiago may be received late to-
night or early tomorrow morning.
1t is race now between the army
and navy for the honor of planting the
flag over the old Cuban capital, and il
seems that the navy will do some ex
ira hard work for the pleasure of "giv'
ing the laugh" to the army when il
arrives and ushering it into peaceful
and bloodless occupation.

BRYAN WILL GO TO MANILA
AS Colonel of the Third Nebraska Volun-
teer Regiment.

AS Colonel of the Third Nebraska Nolun-
teer Regiment.
Adjutant General Barry has received
a telegram from Secretary Alger saying
that the Third regiment Nebraska vol
unteer infantry, organized by w. j.
Bryan, had been accepted by the gov
ernment and that it would be added
to the contingent going to the Philip
pines, says a Lincoln, Neb., dispatch
of Monday.
When this news was received Mr..
Bryan was so notified, and went TO
Governor Holcomb's Office and long
conference was held, the outcome of
which, although it has not yet been
publicly announced, was that Bryan
was appointed colonel of the regiment
and given his commission. Adjutant
General Barry at once issued the first
general order in the history of the new
regiment. 1t was addressed to the
members and officers, urging them to
drill, perfect their organization and be
ready for the call to mobilize in this
CITY,.
Later news from Washington was to
the effect that mastering officers would
be sent here in the near future and the
regiment sworn in and ordered to San
Francisco, where the First of this city,
under Colonel Bratt, is already To-
Gated.
The enlistment in the various -
companies in the Third, when it be-
came known that Bryan was to com
mand, was so rapid that 40 men more
than quota for a company are held
in readiness by each to fill vacancies
caused by physical disqualiications,
Today Mr.. Bryan began drilling in a
most energetic manner, joining Com
pany A, in which he is private, III
its first drill on the streets.

WAR TIMES PRICES.
How Food Has Gone Up Right Here In
Columbia.

How Food Has Gone Up Right Here In
Columbia.
Columbia Register, Thursday.
While throwing up your hat in pa
triotic enthusiasm every time either
Sampson or Schley fires big gun, did
you ever stop to think how much all
this glory is costing the plain people
of the United States?
Some may gain glory by the war,
others may add to their fortunes, the
farmer may get temporary larger
price for his produce, but the ordinary
day laborer and, in fact, all salaried
people, are surely paying the freight at
high rates.
Yesterday a reporter for The Regis
ter undertook to discover how much
prices had advanced, and was thor
oughly astounded by some of the rises
in the absolute necessities of life. The
reporter went to the store of Mr.. Nc.
Kay, on Main street, for comparison
of prices before and after the declara-
tion of war. The fancy articles of food
were not considered at all as no extra
demand has been made for them.
Flour, from which the staff of life
is made, was the first article consid-
cred, and it was found that this very
necessary staple had advanced e1asety
one-third of its former price. The
average grade of -four which sold for
Sc barrel has, by a combination of
Joe Letter and war, risen to the prince
ly figure of IS per barrel.
Formerly sugar could be purchased
IS pounds for 81. Of the same goods
now the consumer only gets Is pounds
for 81.
Rice has advanced from 81 to S1.30
per peck.
Lard has gone up 2 cents pound.
Meal has climbed 20 cents bushel.
Corned beef has gone up so cents
per dozen cans.
Beans have increased so cents a
bushel.
Coffee is 2 cents pound higher.
Hams have gone up l cent pound.
Bacon has reached an increase Of 9
cents.
Tea registers an increase of Is cents.
Irish potatoes that formerly sold for
$3.50 sack, are now sought after
at S5.
Grits have gone up Is cents bushel.
Canned tomatoes have increased 20
cents a dozen cans.
1t will be seen that while some Of
these advances are not individually
startling, taken in the aggregate they
have greatly increased the cost of liv
ing to the people. There has been no
increase in salaries to offset the greater
expenses brought about by the war.

ly settled, and what is to be done
about the clerkship is yet to be con-
sidered.
New Wheat Coming In.
The first grist Of new wheat came
to the Yorkville Roller mills yester.
day. There were two loads of it
one brought by Mr.. J. B. Stephenson
and the other by Mr.. ]. c. Blair
both of the Blairsville neighborhood
Mr.. Morrow reports that the wheat
was dry and in fine condition for
grinding. The first grist of last year
came in on June 16, which was rather
early. June 10 beats all records.
Teachers Elected.
At a meeting held on Thursday, the
board of trustees of the Yorkville
Graded school elected Miss Mamie
Meacham, of Fort Mill, as teacher for
the first and second grades, and Mr..
Jennings K. Owens, of Rock Hill, as
teacher for the seventh and eighth
grades. Both of these young people
are well-known here, and their selec-
tion is calculated to give the highest
satisfaction to the patrons of the
school.
In the Sewing Machine Business.
Mr.. Walter T. Barron announces
today that he is prepared to furnish
almost any kind of a sewing machine,
for cash or on time. There are few
people IN this country who know more
about % sewing machine than Mr..
Barron knows, and there are none
whose statements with regard to them
can be more relied upon. Of this,
however, it is not necessary for THE
ENQUIRER to say much. The people
of York county know Mr.. Barron about
as we'll as does IHE ENQUIRER.
Administrators Sale.
Pursuant to the advertised notice,
w. w. Lewis, Esq, administrator,
sold the household and kitchen furni-
ture and other personal property be-
longing to the estates of the late
Mr.. F. A. and Mrs. Matte K. Gilbert
and Jas. Jefferys. There was large
crowd present at the sale, which
took place at the late residence OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert. Mr.. Herod
Neal was the auctioneer. The sale
occupied two days, and many valua,
BILE articles were disposed of; but in
the sense of "getting something for
nothing" there were few bargains.
Generally good prices ruled and Ad'
ministrator Lewis is pretty we'll salts
fed with the result.

Telegraphic Summary of More
Recent War Developments.
BY Telegraph TO The Yorkville Enquirer.

Sagasta Wants Peace.
LONDON, June 10.--Sagasta's denial
that Spain is seeking peace is ridiculed
here. 1t is known in official circles,
and even by the general public to be
a fact that more than week ago
the Austrian government and the
Vatican were both appealed to to use
their utmost endeavors to secure a
speedy cessation of hostilities. Aus
tria and the Vatican have already
made their commission too plain to
admit of a denial, and the attempt
of the Spanish government to appear
Indifferent under the circumstances,
is what makes the situation so ridicu-
lous.
Philadelphia Traitors.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-The secret
service department has discovered that
Philadelphians are selling coal to
Spanish agents. 1t is likely that some
arrests will be made today or tomor-
row.
Plans For the Army.
Officials of the war board have given
out some of the plans of the campaign
as finally decided upon and now being
,,t in oxooufion
According to the statements made,
the army of q, 900 men under General
Shafter, now afloat in transports, is
bound for Santiago. Upon reaching
that place, the entire army, or so much
of it as may be needed, will be used
to take the city and capture or drive
away all the Spaniards in the vicinity.
Santiago taken, then the place will
be garrisoned by enough troops to
maintain order and hold the country
against any possible force that the
Spaniards might be able to muster.
The balance of the army, including
perhaps 10000 or $4,000 men, will at
once be sent to Porto Rico.
1t is the purpose to land at Ponce,
On the southern coast of the island.
The place is poorly fortified, and it is
believed that a landing can be effect
ed, under the protection of a fleet,
with but little difficulty. From Ponce
the army will work its way across the
island, distance of about 40 miles, to
San Juan, the capital, and when every
thing is ready, San Juan will be taken
by a combined land and naval attack.
The principal advantages argued in
favor of this plan of operations are
that not only will the taking of Santi-
ago and San Juan have most depress-
ing effect on Spain but by the time
the campaign is over, the troops will
be thoroughly seasoned, and in good
shape to enter upon the siege of Ha-
vana, which city, it is expected, will
make as long and as stubborn defence
as possible.

If you Know
ANYTHING
OFF To THE WAR.

TT may be owing to the fact that war is
l. upon us, and that our certificates con-
tain no restrictions or forfeitures on ac-
count ofwar or riots, that the CAROLINA
BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION has
within the past few months made such
wonderful strides. Perhaps one Of the
most important and interesting of all the
new enterprises that have made this year
memorable is the CAROLINA BENEV-
.OLENT ASSOCIATION. This Associ-
alton promises lasting advantages to the
people, and insures positive benefits to
the state. Its mission is to disseminate
Life Insurance throughout the counties Of
this State, and to provide means of pro-
lection at home. Thus thrift will be pro-
NOTED, the habit Of saving will be fostered
and many families will have provision
made for them against that which is sure
to come, when the head of the family and
the chief bread-winner will be taken
from the household. 1t will also keep at
home and save the state hundreds and
thousands of dollars, which now go to
features Of the CAROLINA BENEVO-
LENT ASSOCIATION are:
First-That it is purely mutual and
cooperative company, and collects from
the policyholders no more than is abso-
lutely necessary to carry out the protec-
tive purposes Of the association.
Second-It is the only company that
confines its liability to local territorial re-
strictions.
Third-It is the only company that has
its accounts audited monthly by an out
side board of auditors at the end Of every
month, and publishes the result for the
information of its policyholders.
Fourth-It is the only fraternal, benev-
olent and cooperative plan of insurance
that offers its policyhOlders cash sur
render value at stated ages.
Fifth-It is the only such company
that offers its policyh0lders an indemni-
'ty against death, accident and old age in
one and the same policy. Itunites cheap
ness with security and absolute safety.
1t issues but one policy and pays 81 900 in
the event of death, $500 in case OF loss Of
one hand or foot or both eyes, and offers
cash surrender value of $3.50 at the age
of Is and $500 at the age Of 75. This GER
titicate is issued at the nominal sum of
$3.50 between heages II and 56. All ben
tit assessments are graduated according
to the age of the policyholder.
