United Confederate veterans will be
held in Charleston, S. G. By vote
of 1,O74 to $40 the convention decided
the contest between the South Caro-

and the warmth of the welcomes they
held in store for the heroes who wore

veterans. So deeply impressed were
the veterans by the orators from Louis

Encouraging News from Santiago.

Adult. Gen. Corbin received q dis
patch Saturday morning from General
Shafter announcing that "there had
been no deaths today" The dispatch
contained only the words referred to,
but it was frightened with intelligence
of good character to the officials. The
outbreak of yellow fever at Santiago
has given the administration much
concern, but the reports of the med
ical officers agree in the statement that
the disease is of a comparatively mild
type. While there are many cases,
some Of them serious, the belief is
expressed that the disease will be
cured without serious loss to General
Skaters corps. Every possible at
tuntion is being shown those who are
ill and extraordinary precautions have
been taken to prevent the spread Of
the disease among the troops.

Increase of Fever Among Troops.

says that 1856 new cases Of fever of all
classes developed in Skaters camp

Greds of cases OF fever known to exist

Outrageous Depravity.

Last Sabbath night, after church
services were out and the people were
going home, there was sight on our
streets that was sufficient to
bring the blush of shame to the
most hardened cheek. Several young
men were congregated in the paSsway
east Of the Cobb house, drinking,
swearing and black-guarding in the
most wantOn and shameless manner
while a number of ladies were passing
along. Whenever young man gets
so low down and so utterly lost to any
sense of respect for ladies aud chill
dren as to act in this way he ought to
be 'run in" The public ought to be
protected against such insults, and
such indignities should not be heaped
unon our women and children. If
this thing is to cOhtinue on our
streets. then ladies would best keep
off the streets at night or run the risk
of hearing the most shameless black
guarding and the most awful profani-
/ ty. If any officer of the law desires
information rs to who the guilty par
ties are the writer can go down on the
street any time and point the offend
ers out. We protest against this bus
iness most emphatically and propose
to take all legitimate means to su
press it if il is not stopped.

barring such contingency there will
be an abundance. The peach trees

and the apples are just bursting the
buds, and the warm showers and sun

Fine Wheat Prospect.

4 common remark OF the Farmers
coming TO town is that no one ever
saw wheat grow 50 fast aSit has in the
last two weeks. The fields looked
brown and bare a few days ago but
now the ground is almost covered with
the fast growing cereal. The prospect
is said to be much better than it was
a year ago, but the acreage is not So
large as it would have been if the
weather had not been 50 extremely
dry last summer and fall. The high
price of wheat also kept many farmers
from sowing so much last fall.
