No Increase of the Navy.

Washington. Dec. 2o.-There was an in
formal resolution in the senate commit
tee on naval affairs to-day on the sugges-
ton Of the navy department for the in
crease of the navy. The question was
raised by Senator Hanna. who advanced
the opinion that for the present additions
TO the navy should be limited to the ac-
ual requirements. Many improvements
now making in naval architecture. he
thought, rendered IL expedient to wait as
long as possible before entering too ex-
tSnsively upon ship building. Other sem
ators present expressed a similar tgin-
ion. but as the question was not for
mauy before the committee, no action
was taken.

The wife Also a Wonder.

An ignorant n blasphemous fakir
named Besuchamp. aided by his wife.
has for a week or more been trying to
work upon the minds OF others equally
ignorant or credulous In Butte by
claiming to be the father OF a child
possessing supernatural gifts. while the
wife was the mouthpiece for the voice
of heaven" The ~Beauchamps came to
Butte from Seattle some months age
and tool up their residence west Of the
city. They have a child. a girl. now
about two months old. which the par
ents claim gave expression TO the most
astonishing sayings and prophecies a
few minute after its birth. Beau
champ worked the fake up until he
thought IL was ripe enough to yield
him a few dollars from the curious and
gullible. SO he advertised to give a lee
ture at the Auditorium last night and
exhibit his wonder. Baby Beauchamp,

vertising banners. About 100 people,
mostly colored. were at the Auditorium
To see the profit" n whatever profit
there was the poor fools contributed.
Beauchamp marched his wife with
the baby and a little boy to the plat
form. The man told his audience that
he vas there to show them the most
wonderful baby that ever was" He
said that rs soon as IL was born IL said
"Glorify God, Amen and after that II
said other things equally as astonish-
ing. but IL would never talk in the
presence Of any one but its parents.
Beauchamp also said his wife was a
wonder In her way and had written by

proceeded to read a pamphlet called
by him "A Little Child Shall Lead

WHILE WAR
is RAGING

1t is necessary to keep the plow on the
move, and while the drums are beating
and the air is filled with martial music
and the army is organizing for the front,
we should not become so demoralized as
to allow our farms and various business
es to become disorganized. The soldiers
will fight the war, while we ''speed the
plow." Let US prepare our lands with
the same thought and care as the general
and his staff prepares for battle; let us
SOW an abundant crop of wheat, oats and
pease, together with grasses and clover,
and the fields will bloom in all their
glory while the martial music of the war
will be drowned with the fairy like song
of the birds in the spring, and peace and
plenty will most likely be our reward.
GUANO AND ACID are as essential to
the success of farming as gunpowder is to
war, and we have both in almost unlimi-
ted quantities, and we would be glad to
supply those who expect to begin cam
paign for any Of the above crops. The
Guano and Acid will show the proper
analysis, and will produce bird-singing
results in the spring. Call and see me.

THE TOWN COUNCIL.

The new town council is to have nc
more infringements of the charter and
constitution in regard to holding two
Offices as compensation by its mem
bers. The matter has been definitely
agreed upon.
Alta meeting of the council held last
Thursday night, the best plans for con-
ducting the business of the town were
considered at length.
Among other things, it was decided
to relieve Chief of Police Love as
treasurer; but to continue him as po'
liceman at the same salary he has
been receiving. In addition to his
duties in preserving order, ETC., he will
be required to assist in looking after
the enforcement of the regulations as
to the use of water by consumers, and
also he will be charged, in connec.
ton with the pumpman, with general
supervision of the water mains.
Mr.. George T. Schorb was elected
treasurer of the town at a salary oi
$50 year. No provision was made
for the duties of clerk.
The waterworks, for the present
will be under the general supervision
of the town council, principally of the
intendant. 1t was the understanding
that consumers are to be held down
strictly to the conditions on which
they have subscribed for water. Nc
unnecessary waste of water is TO be
allowed, and failure to pay water rent
is to meet with prompt cutting off o.
the supply of the delinquent.
Hereafter there is to be no more
free water to members of the council
Everybody must pay. The action by
which members of the council secured
free water was never made matter
of record, and the action putting ar
end to the matter has also been in
formal. Three members of the coun
Gil, however, have agreed that there
shall be no more free water to mem
bers of the town council or others.

IN THE PAPERS OF FRIDAY.
Summary of the More Important Published
DEVELOPMENTS.

Summary of the More Important Published
Developments.
Following is a summary of the
general war situation as reported in
the dispatches published Friday
morning:
Intercepted dispatches from Admiral
Cervera indicate shortness of both
food and ammunition in Santiago.
Cable communication has been re-
stored between the different towns
held by the Americans to the east
of Santiago.
General Shafter has moved his head.
quarters to the front, and is confident
of his ability to take Santiago within
four or five days. The war depart
ment is reported to have full conf.
dence in him and is allowing him full
discretion.
1t is believed that General Garcia is
to be sent to intercept Pando and hold
him in check until after Santiago has
fallen.
The American officers are amused
at the fact that Red Cross flags are
flying over all of the principal build
ings of Santiago.
There was much skirmishing before
Santiago on Tuesday and Wednesday
but without loss to the Americans.
On account of too much impetuosity
Roosevelt was ordered to the rear oi
the advance guard. General Shafter
was afraid that he would get killed
through his rashness.
Camara's fleet is still being held up
in the Suez canal on account of vari-
Gus complications touching infringe
ments of the neutrality laws.
Commodore Watson has arrived of
Santiago, and is making up his squad
ron for the proposed trip to Spain.
1t has been raining some before San
tiago. The hot days are followed by
cool nights and the men are now suf-
fering for the blankets they threw
away on the march from the seashore.
Just when the attack on Santiago
will be made is still matter of doubt.
The officers, on Wednesday, were oil
opinion that it would not be for sever
al days. At that time the siege guns
were still five miles from the van
guard.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1898-07-02

June 27. He has in his patch more
than 40 melons of the same variety
and about the same size, many OF
which are ripe. In addition to these,
he has more than 100 of another va
riety which will be ripe in few days.
Had the seasons been favorable, Mr..
Jackson would have had ripe water
melon three weeks ago; but as it is,
June 81 is quite early.
South Carolina Soldiers Not Wanted.
Rock Hill Herald: Gray Toole, of
Charlotte, brother of Henry Toole, of
our city, recently rendered to the ad-
jutant general of North Carolina a
company of 100 men. When the com
pany was ordered to move to Fort
Macon it transpired that IS of Toole's
men were at Rock Hill, S. G. When
the adjutant general learned this fact
he was very indignant and sent the
following telegram to Toole: 81 un-
derstand IS of your men are in Rock
Hill, S. c. AS we do not want any
soldiers from South Carolina, l have
deducted rs from your 100. You can
bring only 40, and will get you rs
from this state for your company"
The adjutant general says he will di-
vide this IS between two other towns.
Toole is knocked out as captain.
Death of j. McA. Mcswain.
Mr.. John McAllister McSwain, for
merly student in Yorkville, and who
more recently graduated from David
son college, died at Davidson last Sun
day evening at $40 o'clock of typhoid
fever. He was in the 22d year of his
age, having been born on October 20,
1876. After his graduation Mr.. Nc
Swain went into the drug business at
Davidson, and it was his intention to
study medicine. His mother was with
him when he died also his uncle Rev.
D. S. McAllister, of Bethel, and his
cousin, Hugh Mes. McAllister. The
young man was highly esteemed at
Davidson, and his death cast deep
gloom over the community. The re-
mains were inferred at Bluff church,
n. c., on Tuesday, being accompanied
to that place by the bereaved parents,
an Mr.. H. McAllister.
