NIlnt Is the Matter with SchIeYP

Our able contemporary, The Washing
ton Post wants to know where Com
modore Schley was during the engage
ment which resulted in the destruction
of CorveraS squadron and the capture
OF the admiral and number of his men
Tho inquiry is timely one. The conn
try knows by this time where Schley
was in fact, but whore was he official

suppressed. and the great victory which
he won, more marvellous in every way
than DeWey's at Manila. has been cred
tied, officially 10 Sampson, who did not
conduct the engagement, and who was
not in it until the last moment when the
affair was practically over.
1t is no wonder, therefore, that The
WASHINGTON Post makes anxious inquiry
about Schley. officially. he was absent
from the scene altogether Sampson,
who was seven or eight miles from the
scene when the engagement began does
not mention SchIey in his Fourth OF

In Conclusion, Let Me
Say That I Would Not
Pretend to Farm Without It.

SEVEN YEARS ago, Mr.. w. Holmes
y Hardin, of Chester county, enjoyed
the distinction of being one of the most
practical and successful farmers in the
Piedmont section, and according to the
best information at hand he still ranks
among the first. The appended endorse
ment of the Corbin Disk Harrow was
written by him in March, 1890, and what
he said then we are sure he will endorse
now. Read it and do some thinking:
CHESTER, s. c., March 81, 1890.
SAM NJ. GRIsT, Yorkville, S. c.: Dear
Sir: have owned Corbin Disk Harrow
for several years, and consider. it the most
useful and economical farming imple-
ment of which I have any knowledge.
Mr.. Corbin has done more for the farmer
than all the politicians, reformers, etc.,
combined. He has done something prac-
tical No farmer can fail to be benefited
by the use of the Harrow, and the more it
is used the greater the benefit or profit.
It is almost the only so-called improved
farming implement that have ever seen
that would do all its manufacturers claim
ed for it, and the only one that would do
more. Every farmer should have one,
and man who is able to buy fertilizers
Disk Harrow. The time will come when
the Corbin Disk Harrow will be consider
ed as much of necessity on the farm as
the wagon, sewing machine, cooking
stove, and might say, the plow and the
sooner it comes the better for the farmer.
1t only takes farmer, who has been ac-
customed to the old way of doing things,
about one hour to realize how much time
and labor he has literally wasted before
he used the Corbin Harrow. In conclu.-
sion, let me say that I would not pretend
to farm without it. Respectfully,
w. HOLMES HARDIN.
We sell the G GENUINE CORBIN DISK
HARROW. 1t has never had success
full rival. If you want so-called Spad-
ing or Cutaway, we can furnish you one
made by the manufactures Of the Corbin.
The Corbin has solid disks and they are
the best but as stated we can furnish the
other if you prefer to take the opinion OF
someone who has had less experience than
we, and will furnish the best harrow OF
that pattern on the market. It's mechan-
ism is identically the same rs the Coroln,
the only difference Being in the disks.

"DlDN'T SAY IT."
Why Public Speakers Frequently Try to
Make Scapesoats of Reporters.

Why Public Speakers Frequently Try to
Make scapegoats of Reporters.
From the Boston Journal.
A well-known author, when asked
in private if he had said certain things
which had been attributed to him, re
piled II can't say that didn't say
them, and yet when I read them in
print they gave me chills." His dis
turbed feelings have been the feelings
of many another man who does not
stop to consider how his words might
look in print. Because of just such a
lack of forethought many men blame
the newspapers for misrepresenting
their views.
The oficeholder, the clergy man, or
the professor who speaks more or less
informally across the dining table to a
small body of men, is often inclined to
employ the emphasis and careless en-
thusiasm which he might use in pri-
vate conversation. When he finds his
words reported in the morning paper
they sometimes have sharper sound
than he thought they would have.
The modifying ideas that he express
ed in his "Fourthly" or "Lastly" are
not included perhaps in the portions
quoted. The linotype has not caught
the semi-serious tone of voice he as
sumed during certain statements. Con-
sequently, he concludes that his re-
marks have been garbled, and he
writes to the editor, claiming that he
has been misrepresented, and he tells
his friends that reporters never get
anything right.
Reporters err often, no doubt, but
for every reporters error in summar-
izing public addresses which speakers
will show US we will present evidence
of another cause for similar trouble,
evidence that the speakers have wish
ed to retract or to modify in print the
next morning. Reporters are trained
to pick out the vigorous, the unusual
and the startling. They are also
trained to avoid perversions and state
ments they shall have to take back.
They know the dangers Of condensa-
ton, and they know the penalty of
carelessness.
We are not unaware of their short
comings, but we know that the public
speaker is not misquoted half so often
as he says he is. His sober second
thought occurs to him only after he
has seen his speech in print.

THE "BELLS" ON BOARD SHIP.
How Sailormen Keep Track of the Time
of Day.

How Sailormen Keep Track of the Time
of Day.
Every one who has read stories of
the sea has wondered why sailors keep
time by "bells" instead of by hours.
The "sad sea dog" of the tale says,
"It's eight bells, and all's WELL" and
the reader wonders why he calls them
"eight BELLS" instead of the hour.
There are people who think "eight
bells" is S o'clock, and so with all the
hours told off by bells.
At sea "bell" is equivalent to o'clock
on shore. A bell is struck every half
hour. The day, beginning at mid
night, is divided into watches of four
hours, except the watch from to s
p. M, which is divided into two dog
watches. A full watch thus consists
of eight half hours, and it's progress is
noted by the number of strokes on the
bell. For instance, beginning at mid
night, the end of watch, the bell is
struck eight times half-past u is one
bell, o'clock is two bells, 1.30 o'clock
is three bells, o'clock is four bells, 3
O'Clock is six bells, 4 o'clock is eight
bells again, and so on.
The bells, except the odd bells, are

woman. "I've quit feeding tramps."
GAIL right" replied Dick; "but wish
you would accommodate me with a

me much satisfaction" This excited

DEFENCES Of HAVANA.
BIanco Has $4,000 Men Behind Earth
works.

BIanco Has $4,000 Men Behind Earth
works.
Lieutenant Colonel Arthur l.. Wag-
ner and Lieutenant Anderson, of the
war departments bureau Of intorma-
tion, submitted very important re-
port to the president few days ago.
Colonel Wagner has recently visited
the Cuban coast and gathered his
statements from reliable first hands.
The most important of his information
is that the Spanish army in Cuba has
an effective force of $4,000 men. The
estimate is so much higher than it had
ever been reported that the govern
ment hardly credited the report, but
Colonel Wagner verifies it in detail.
He further reports that Havana is
covered by 25 to 80 miles of earth
works. Those at the strategic points
are strengthened by batteries of fairly
good field guns. These works have
all been constructed in the past three
weeks. General Blanco, Colonel Wag-
ner states, conscripted between 5000
and 5000 Negroes and put them to
work on these defenses.
General Parade, in command Of the
military department of Havana, has
removed large number of soldiers
from towns and put them to picketing
the north shore of Cuba. The line OF
pickets begins at Havana, trending
westward. Though these troops are
seasoned, having been on the island
two years, they are woefully lacking
as marksmen. An entire battalion

fired at the Americans who were cut
ting the cables at Cienfuegos for 10
minutes at distance of 80 yards with
Mauser rifles, and only succeeded in
hitting four men.
"Why, we haven't corporal's guard
in the United States army that would
not have riddled those cable cutters at
that distance" said General Miles,
talking of the matter. "The United
States army is 55 per cent. expert
marksmen. Our rifle competitions for
10 years hsye proved to be one of our
most valuable series of instruction for
the entire army"

struck in pairs, thus: Three bells are
struck elang- -clang, clang. Four bells
are struck clang-clang, clang-clang.
1t is a pleasant diversion on ship
board to hear the officer of the watch
strike the bells on the bridge and to
hear them answered by the bells in
the fo'c'sle, and all over the ship.

There is one thing, however, that the

the many wildcat companies that are

indemnity contracts are not worth the
paper they are written on, and which will
require only one fire loss to demonstrate
the fact. My companies are business en-
terprises of the highest class and standing
