PRESIDENT SUSTAINs THE NEGRO
Paymaster General Stanton has turned
over to the president all the papers
relating to the recent unpleasantness
growing out of the refusal of Texas
regiment to receive pay from Major
Lynch because he is colored. The
president has taken no defiuite action
beyond expressing approval of Gener-
al Stanton's course in sending a sharp
dispatch to the commanding paymas,
ter of that department, stating in ef-
feet that as Major Lynch had been
regularly commissioned by the presi-
dent as an army paymaster, the troops
must take their pay from him or else
20 without pay. Thus the matter
stands with the papers before the pres
ident. There is the possibility that Il
new question may arise on the point
of insubordination in refusing to re-
ceive pay from paymasters regularly
commissioned to make payments.

THE COTTON MARKET.

The condition of the cotton market
just at this time is anything but satis-
factory. Spot cotton in New York is
worth only 5 11.16, just Lie above
the lowest price ever touched before.
September futures were, on Mon
day, quoted at 5.34, only II points
above the lowest point ever touched
by the future market-5.23 for No
vember on November %, 1894.
Local cotton was quite active during
the latter part of last week, at prices
ranging in the neighborhood of At.
Real good cotton is worth little more
than the price stated; but not much
real good cotton is being brought in.
1t is expected, however, that there
will be more or less improvement in
qualities during the present week.

and introduced as the "Daughter Of

- Figures as to deaths by lightning
have been printed at intervals for
years. They all show very small
number of deaths due to this cause /;
but usually they have been open to
criticism on the score of accuracy
The latest and probably most author
itative contribution to the literature OF
the subject is that made by the United
States weather bureau. 1t covers a
period of four years and shows the
average annual number of deaths from
lightning to be 1876. This is for the
whole country. More than that are
drowned within a few miles of New
York city every year, and we are in
formed and can easily believe that the
number of persons killed by bicycles
every year is much greater than OF
those killed by lightning. 1t is also
said, and does not seem improbable,
that more deaths are caused by the
kick of a horse or the falling of a
chimney than by lightning. On the
other hand there is much more appre-
hension of thunder storm than of
any of these other things, and this is
largely because it is big and loud and
absolutely unavoidable. You may
dodge bicycle or a horse, if you are
lucky; but you cannot dodge thun-
der storm. Besides, its looks are
against it, and that counts for a good

MERE-MENTION.

The president is finding considerable
difficulty in getting commissioners to
investigate the war department. '''''''''
The Gran Antila arrived at New York
from Havana last Saturday. This is
the first Spanish vessel to touch at an
American port since the breaking out
of the war. '...'.."Rev. John Hall, D..
D., pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presby-
terian church, N. Y, and one of the
most noted divines in the United
States, died suddenly last Saturday
morning in Bangor, County Down,
Ireland. .....''' The United States COM
lnissioners appointed TO conclude the
terms of peace with Spain sailed last
Saturday from New York for Paris.
The commission consists of former
Secretary of State William R. Day,
United States Senators William P.
Frye, Cushman K. Davis and George
Gray and Whitelaw Reid. Each COM
missioner is accompanied on the trip
by his wife or other members of the
family. '.'''',General Lawton reports
that all but eight of the Spanish pris-
oners taken at Santiago have been
shipped to Spain. These eight have
yellow fever. .''.'''''.About one.sixth Of
the American troops at Santiago are
in the hospital. '''''''''It is under
stood that Spain's peace commission
will strenuously contend for the re-
tention of the Philippine islands. '''''''
Thomas F. Bayard, formerly secretary
OF state in Cleveland's cabinet, is crit
ically ill at Dedham, Mass. '''''''''1t is
claimed that the assassin of the en-
press of Austria belongs to a band of
anarchists which has headquarters in
the United States, and the object of
which is to assassinate all the crowned
heads of Europe. ..'''.''''The eruption
of Mount Vesuvius is daily becoming
more serious and the people of the
surrounding country are becoming
greatly alarmed. Captain Allen
Capron, of the First artillery, died at
his home near Fort Myer, Va, last
Sunday. He was one of the most dis
tinguished officers in the army.

W. J. BRYAN, THE MAN.
Although He Has No Chance to Fight
He Still Finds Work.

He Still Finds Work.
Hon. Roland Ellis, chairman of the
committee on invitation for the Macon
carnival, recently went with other
Macon gentlemen to Jacksonville 10
urge Colonel w. J. Bryan to attend
the carnival and deliver an address.
Colonel Bryan felt that he could not
accept the invitation, but he made
strong impression upon the Macon
committee.
Mr.. Ellis says: "He spent the Sun
day when we were in camp driving
about nursing the sick, providing them
with dainties and relieving the suffer-
ing. Ceaselessly, without dinner and
supper, he went, until he was worn out
by fatigue. This man, surfeited with
the plaudits of his fellows, is leading
the life of hero among the fever
stricken commands. His tent is pitch
ed with them, out in the open; his
daily place is by the sickbed, and his
nightly occupation is relieving some
mans distress. Though clothed in the
raimeut of high military authority, he
was still the plain American democrat,
loving his men and by them beloved"
This is a fine tribute to Colonel
Bryan, and places him in u noble light.
He is not our ideal political leader,
but the manner in which some news
papers have treated his services in the
army, and the reflections they have
cast upon his motives in accepting a
military commission have been con-
temptible.
Colonel Bryan is doing his duty no.
bly, at the Jacksonville camp, and de-
serves the handsome words Mr.. Ellis
has spoken of him.

ippine islands according to their best
Judgment.
Not having disclosed his plans re.
specting the islands outside of Luzon,
the seat of the capital of the group,
the president still reserves for the
American peace commissioners the
right to dispose of the remainder of
the islands as they may deem best. =.
A long line of curious incidents, to
which one of the great European pow
ers has been party, has beyond ques-
ton done much to cause feeling of
uueasiness on the part of the admins
tration as tending to show purpose
to interfere in our action in the Philip
pines, and this has been only slightly
diminished by apparently frank dis
Chalmers of an uterior purpose, be-
cause the incidents continue quietly,
and in a manner calculated to avoid
attracting attention.
Such, for instance, is the gathering
of naval vessels to the south of the
Philippine group, the only explanation
of which, coming from native sources,
it is true, but still bearing marks of
genuineness, is purpose of acquiring
either by seizure or by some secret
compact with the Spanish government
the important island Of Palawan. This
particular island forms one side of the
gateway through which must pass all
of the extensive commerce that flows
between Australia, Miscronesia and
southern China. The passage is mar
row, and if the islands Of the Philip
pine group are to be retained outside
of Luzon, this island of Palawan
must he kept as forming one side of
the gateway. ...
1t is gathered that it is the purpose
of the president, therefore, 10 prevent
the alienation by Spain of any of the
Philippine group, and that these prep
arations, naval as well as military, are
but steps toward the execution of his
purpose.
With the addition to his fleet of two
batteries, Admiral Dewey will have a
force only second to that of Great
Britain in eastern waters, while on
shore General Otis will have more
numerous army than any European
power save Russia.

practice to boycott and run away all
who venture to protest against their
proceedings. 1t is claimed that the
Mormons not only have complete con-
troll in Utah but that they also have
the balance of power, politically, in
Idaho, Wyoming, Arizona and parts OF
Colorado. The state presbytery is
very much alarmed at the situation
generally, and warns the Presbyterian
church in the United States that
Mormonism has only been sleeping
during the past few years; "but that
there is now opening long struggle,
the outcome of which can, at this time,
be only a matter of conjecture"

1t is still being maintained as a
fact that in order to secure the sup
port of certain elements in the second
primary, Governor Ellerbe pledged
himself to recommend a local option
bill to the general assembly. The
Columbia Record claims that this fact
can be sustained by affidavits, and
says that although it has no proof.
it has reason to believe that the gov
ernor committed his pledge TO writing.
The thing is interesting and we will
watch for further developments.

THE FALL TRADE.


Yorkville dry goods and millinery
folks are returning from the northern
markets and getting things in shape for
the fall trade.
Mrs. T. NJ. Dobson returned last
Saturday, after an absence of three
weeks in Baltimore and New York.
She was accompanied by Miss Maggie
Glenn and Miss Bessie Rea. She has
been giving especial attention to mil
linery, and, upon the arrival of her
purchases, will be able to show some
handsome goods in this line.
Mr.. H. C. Strauss returned last Fri
day. He had been gone about two
weeks-much longer than usual but
he did not waste any time. He in
formed the reporter last Saturday that
Notwithstanding the low price of cot
ton, he purchased fully twice as many
goods as ever before since he has been
in business. This year also he has
given especial attention to gentlemen's
clothing. Although he has been hand
ling clothing for years heretofore but
a small proportion of his stocks has
been composed of higher priced goods.
This year, however, he has arranged
to supply the demands of the trade in
this direction TO the fullest extent.
Mr.. Strauss believes that Yorkville
ought to do fair share of the York
county trade this year, and he intends
to be in a position to get his part of it.

worm to be seen, while the sparrows
were there by the thousands"

1t is the custom for a victorious
nation to require the vanquished to
pay a good round sum of money by
the way Of indemnifying the victor
tor the cost oethe war. France had
to pay Germany a whole tower full
of gold: Turkey paid, or promised
to pay, many millions to Russia
China had to give Japan an enor-
nous pile of gold, and little Greece
must pay the Turk an indemnity OF
millions. In the event of our going
to war with Spain and whipping
her, what could we get iu the way
of indemnity? Spain hasn't any,
thing to speak of in her treasury,
and has no collateral upon which
she could raise money to pay a war

SENATOR CLAY TALKS.

Senator A. S. Clay, of Georgia,
is quoted by the Atlanta Constitu-
tons Washington correspondent as
| follows:
Il have reached the conclusion that
there is no possibility of the war in Cuba
coming to an end until the United States
| intervenes | am against any and all OF
| the propositions that have been advanced
which fall short OF absolute independence
of the Cubans 1t is absolutely impossible
for any other settlement to be final; Spain
has broken too many of her promises IL
the past for the Cubans to let themselves
be again deIuded by promises OF So called
autonomy. l should oppose this govern
ment indorsing the Cuban debt il purchase
were agreed on between the Spanish and
the Cubans, just as | should oppose this
government being responsible for Spain S
faithful carrying out OF her autonomy
promises. We should take no position
that will leave US where we will be con-
stantly involved in settling disputes be-
tween the two people or in being RESPONSE
BILE for either. We owe it 10 humanity
and we owe it to ourselves, to put an end
TO this war, and the only way that can be
done in my opinion is to acknowledge the
independence OF the Cubans and to inter-
vene in their behalf. The acknowledgment
OF independence will not be a cause for
war unless Spain chooses to make it so :.
In that event we should stand by the Gu.
bans, and drive the Spaniards forever from
the western hemisphere, Any policy short
OF this will, as | have stated, mean simply
tempor!zng with the situation. The time
for that has long since passed. We must
remove the cause for the trouble in ICuba,
and that is Spanish misrule."

Judge Atkinson's reply to Col
Candler's declination to have joint
debates on the ground that they
would stir up strife, is a vindication
of Col. Gamblers judgment. Judge
Atkinson's ''peppery" personal
filings at Gambler show that there is
no issue to discuss but personal re,
cords, and that joint debate, as
Atkinson's letter indicates, would
degenerate into mud-slinging, en-
nifty and strife. No joint debates
are wanted by the people.
