FORT MILL, May 23.-Mr. John Jones,
q prominent farmer of this township,
who lived near here, died last night at
2.3O o'clock.
Mr.. Jones had been suffering for the
past l2 months or more with heart trou-
BILE, and for sometime past had been very
much worse but his condition was not
thought to be critical. His son was sit
ting Up with him last night, and had just
given him some medicine, after which
he left him for short interval. Present
ly the son heard Mr.. Jones breathing
with much difficulty, and hurrying to his
side found him dying.
Mr.. Jones was about 63 years of age,
was consistent member of the Metho-
dist church, was generous to the poor,
kind and charitable. In short he was a
man who will be missed from the COM
munity in which he has so long enjoyed
the respect and esteem Of his neigh
bors. He leaves a widow, three sons and
two daughters.
Mr.. A. G. Sutton is critically i'll and is
not expected to live.
Mrs. Lewis R. Wilson, an aged lady
who lived near Griffin's store, died on

Uncle Georges Boom.


Sumter Item: Very little is now
heard concerning the gubernatorial
aspirations of Hon. George d. Tillman,
which is strange indeed, for at one
time he had medium sized boom well
under way. 1t is barely possible, how
ever, that Colonel Jim Tillman, who
was managing his fathers boom, has
hid it in the bushes until the war is
over.

WHERE 1T ORIGINATED.
Wall Street Is the Worst Fakir In
News Business.

Wall Street Is the Worst Fakir In the
News Business.
The New York Sun tells something
about the origin of that story to the
effect that the Spanish feet was sunk
in the Windward passage. 1t was a
Wall Street fake.
The report was first put out Satur-
day night as a vague rumor. 1t was
published in the papers next morning,
in many instances along with denials
but during the day it was persistently
circulated in different forms until it
began to make new impressions.
On Monday morning, before the
opening of the stock market, there
came a cable from London saying that
Madrid had news which the officials
were holding back, and later there
came detailed story to the effect that
all of the Spanish vessels and two
American vessels had been sunk. II
was claimed that this story had been
received by the banking house OF
Speyer & Co., and it had more or less
credence until it was denied by Mr..
Speyer, who said his house bad receiv.
ed no news on the subject whatever.
The fake stories had considerable
influence on the New York stock mar.
ket, and the bulls made money out oil
it. Spanish securities went down in
LONDON, and American securities went
up insboth London and New York
The navy department was finally
forced to deny emphatically that there
was any truth in the story, and the
bottom fell out of the boom thus
worked up.

British PRISONERS.

detained. The officers are held as
prisoners.
Sobral Is Caught.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-The state
mens from Madrid to the effect that
Lieutenant Sobral is in that city, is
not believed here. On the contrary,
there is every reason to believe that
the man arrested on the prize ship
Panama is Sobral. On his person were
found papers which fix the identity Of
two more Spanish spies; one lawyer
in this city and the other merchant
in New York. Sobral was formerly
naval attache to the Spanish legation
in Washington.

Senator Lodge today offered as an

Just now it looks as if Hawaii will be

ONE MORE COMPANY.
It Takes 80 Men to Complete South Car
olina's Quota.

1t Takes 30 Men to Complete South Car
olina's Quota.
South Cardinals quota of troops
under the recent call of the president
is now full with the exception of one
company, and to complete the quota,
the governor, on last Wednesday, is
sued the following call:
"Whereas two of the companies of the
First Regiment Of infantry have consol-
idated, thus causing deficiency in said
regiment, now, therefore, l, w. H. Eller-
tional company of volunteers of at least
80 men from the state at large.
w. H. ELLERBE."
1t seems that all the companies
called out succeeded in getting mus
tered in except the Bamberg Guards
and the Palmetto Rifles. Toward the
last the members of these companies
began to fear that it would be impossi-
BILE to get up the necessary 80 men,
and to be sure of places in the ranks,
one by one a number of them went
into other companies.
When the ranks of all the other
companies were full, the Bamberg
Guards and Palmetto Rifles were left
with only about 40 men each. 1t
seemed like an impossibility to raise
the number of either company up to
the 80 that was required, and finally
it was agreed to consolidate the two
companieS into one.
After the agreement to consolidate,
it was agreed to draw lots to see by
which name the consolidated company
should be known by. The Aiken peo-
pie won, and the Bamberg Guards
were duly merged into the Palmetto
Rifles. The question as to who should
command the company was decided
in the same way, and Captain Sawyer,
of the Palmetto Rifles, was the winner.
Captain Evans, formerly of the BAN.
berg Guards, will have to return to
civil life; but the understanding is
that the governor will try to provide
for him in the next call.
Under the call for single company,
reproduced above, the understanding
is that the first company of so men
which presents itself, whether a militia
company or organization of citizens,
will be accepted and allowed to choose
its own officers.

ever Comes.

Paris, Oct. 19.-In spite of semi-nifi-
cial denials, the Echo de Paris asserts
today that the embarkation of war ma
terials and supplies continues at Toulon,
adding that extraordinary activity rcigns
at the arsenal there. Besides the iron.
clads Admiral Trehouart Boyines, jam
mapes and Valmy, the cruisers Algef
Levrier and Caiman, it claims, are ge--
ting ready for service, embarking ammu-
milton and war materials
In addition, it is further asserted, the
transports Bien Noa and Gironde are
almost ready for sea.
All the French naval officers on leave
of absence have been ordered to return
to their vessels.
A dispatch to the Petit Parsen, from
Toulon confirms the report of the Echo
de Paris, and says the greatest activity
prevails in the navy yard. where work
is proceeding with feverish speed day
and night.
ENGLAND PLANTS HER FOOT.
London, Oct. 19.-Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, Chancellor of the EXchcquer,
speaking at North Shields, this evening.
announced that the Government had
opened negotiations with the Powers
with view Of securing to the subjects
of various Powers the right Of develop
ing the respective spheres in which each
country is especially Interested"
Regarding the Fashoda question, he
said he wished cordially to acknowledge
the desire evidenced in the speeches of
Lord Roseberry and Herbert Asquith to
help the Government in the matter, 81
matter which might develop to the ut
most gravity"
1T is impossible" he continued, 'for
France to maintain that she had politi-
cal rights at Fashoda. She has properly
asked for time to receive Major March
and's reports, but until the contrary is
proved | decline to believe that France
will refuse to withdraw. If she refused,
the matter would assume an aspect as
grave as is possible between two great
nations.
'The Government is animated by the
friendliest spirit toward France and does
not wish to inhict humiliation. What we
desire is fair treatment. Our work ~
Egypt is not completed. Africa is big
enough for us both-for France i'll the
west and ourselves in the east. Surely
we ought to be able to agree to respect
one another's rights and claims. l nope,
trust and believe the question is capa-
BILE of a friendly solution, but this conn
try has put her foot down. If, unhappi-
ly, another view should be taken by
France, the Queens Ministers know
what their duty demands.
'It would be Il great calamity, if, after
peace for upward of eighty years. our
friendly relations should be disturbed
and we should be launched into Il great
war. but there are greater evils than
war. and we shall not shrink from any
thing that is coming, knowing that we
are supported by a united people,.

From every section of the State; from
almost every community has come ur-

speaker. His voice has been heard in
many sections since the campaign, and
he is to make two speeches in Wake
to-morrow--one at Leasville during the
day. and at Metropolitan Hall ut 7:30
o'clock at night.
Mr.. AycOck has few equals here or
elsewhere as an eloquent, forcible speak
ser. No man has ever met him in de-
bate who did not acknowledge his great
power as an orator. He has conquered
whoIhsoever he has met, and stands to-
day in the front ranks of the ahlest and
most fluent defenders of the great prin-
cipleS of Democracy.
His speech tomorrow night, it is per-
fectly safe to say, will be one of the best
ever delivered in Raleigh. Let the capi-
tai city give him regular Oldfashion
