MOLLY ohered Orders.

In his Fourth of July Grafton at Spar
tanburg, S. c., Senator McLaurin inter
polated this:
Senator Bate of Tennessee told me an
anecdote of Col. Tom Sumter that I have
never seen in print. Sumter was a great
big. giant of fellow, with a voice like
a foghorn. 1t is said his "holler" could
be heard for miles. On one occasion when
he was off on a foray the Tories came
and captured his wife, Molly, and strip
ped the plantation of everything When
.'Old Tom" came home and found Molly
gone his rage knew no bounds. Gathering
together such forces as he could he put
AFTER the Tories
lie overlook them on the third day and
hung about until midnight. Then he de-
pioyed his forces around the camp and
told them to await his orders TO fire. He
was afraid of Molly" being shot I'm the
raelee, so when he got everything ready
he opened his big mouth and let out "A
ven that fairly made the earth tremblc:
Lay down, Molly! Lay down, Molly"
and Molly, recognizing those stentorian
tones fell prone on her face, and, after
the last. Lay down, Molly" came the
command fire and charge. Molly was re-
captured without hurt.

The yellow Fever in Cuba.


The statement is made by Mat Thomas
D. Summers, surgeon Of the Second Ten
nessee Volunteer Infantry. that there IS
a great deal of unnecessary alarm about
the yellow fever which has made its APP
pearance in our army at Santiago. Dr.
Summers is a resident Of Memphis, and
was the chief of the medical staff in thai
city during the great epidemic Of yellow
fever throughout the Lower Mississippi
valley In 1878 He was after tina epidemic
appointed by the national government
chairman of a commission 10 study vel
low fever in the United States, Cuba,
Central and South America. He is also
the author Of a work on that disease
Having SO salts factory a record in con-
nection with yellow fever, the government
has selected him to take charge of The
treatment of all the yellow fever patients
among our soldiers at Santiago. He is
now on his way to Santiago. with twenty
six trained yellow fever nurses.
According to DR.. Summers, the yellow
fever which develops in Cuba is of a
very mild type and is much less danger
Gus than camp dysentery. He says if he
had a son in the army he would infinitely
prefer him to have the yellow fever Of
the Cuban kind 70 the camp dysentery
Under has direction none of those suffer
ing from the fever will be removed from
Cuba while they are i'll. DR.. Summers feels
certain that at least seven out of ten
of those attacked will recover, ana it may
be that the percentage of recoveries will
he much larger
Maj. Summers is of the opinion that if
the United States have only temporary
possession of Cuba they will succeed in
stamping out yellow fever there. Some
time ago he made plans for flushing Ha-
vana, and for such other sanitary reforms
as would, if adopted, practically put an
end TO yellow fever in that city. He has
no doubt that the disease can DO driven
out of every cuban town.
1t is a fact that Jamaica was a great
place for yellow fever before the English
obtained possession of it, They intro
duced great many sanitary reforms, and
now the towns of that island are almost
wholly free from the fever. What has
been done in Jamaica can be done in the
towns and cities Of Cuba.
1t is thought by some yellow fever eX-
perts that IF Siboney had been burned
when our army landed there our soldiers
would have virtually escaped the fever.
The theory is that they took the fever
from the yellow fever infected houses OF
that place. The houses were burned a
few days ago, but not until the injury
had been done. When Commander Nc
Gala landed his marines at Guantanamo
he set fire TO all buildings in the vicinity
of his camp. His marines have not shown
any signs of the yellow fever. If the
buildings in Siboney had been burned when
our soldiers landed at that place they
might have escaped the fever. The ply
| sicians advised that the buildings be burn
| ed, but for some reason or other their ad-
vice was not taken until it was too late.

Volunteers Handicapped.
From the New York Commercial Gnd.,

Il is not pleasant to patriotic Americans
to read that the regular troops around
Santiago beg the volunteer regiments TO
keep as far away from them as possible
when on the fighting line. for the reason
that their obsolete Springfield rifles, firing
the smokiest of powder, afford the enemy a
perfect mark after few VoAeys. One
outcome Of the war must be a tremendous
boom In the small arms and powder-mak-
ing industries, or Uncle Sam viii be taxi
ing some one by the nape of the neck,
and doing some kicking that will be pain
ful to the recipient. The general verdict
is that the lack of up-to-date arms on our
side is inexcusable.

Legislature devoted itself wholly to polit-

one appropriated $4,000 for a war fund,
which could have been dispensed with;
another took from the chief of police of
New York city the power of appointing
judges and clerks al elections and Vesting
the power in a superintendent of elections;
another provided for the polling of the
votes of soldiers in camp or field at gen
eral elections, and the fourth appropriat-
ed money to pay the expenses Of the ex-
ira session. There is a belief in New
York that the Republican party will be
hurt rather than helped by the session.

Inc evidence is apparently multiplying
that the Cubans are practically no good
in fighting the battles of their country.
Shortly after the landing of Skaters

guns and supplies 10 the front, the insur-
gents gorged themselves with United
States rations, and then lay in their huts
in the shade and smoked cigarettes, de-
Ginning to do hard work on the ground
that they were Soldiers and not labor
ers." On July 1, when the Americans were
sustaining the Spanish fire splendidly, al
though men were dropping at every tick
of the watch, the Cubans kept well out
of danger and fired all their ammunition
harmiessly into the air, afterward sending
for more" Even in the capacity of scouts
the insurgents have been found untrust-
