- That cablegram to the London
Chronicle, telling of the movement
of the troops from Tampa last Wed
nesday, has gotten General Greedy,
the press censor, into a serious snap
From London the news was imme'
diately cabled back to the United
States. All the correspondents al
Key West were, of course, aware ol
the movement; but they had not been
permitted to send out anything. They
raised a rumpus on account of the un'
lust discrimination. General Greely
at first tried to get out of the scrape
by claiming that he had not authorized
the cable to the London Chronicle, and
issued an order to the effect that The
Chronicle correspondent be not allow
ed to send anything further. The
Chronicle correspondent raised a pro-
test and made General Greely admit
that the news had been sent with his
permission. AS the result of the Incl,
dent, there is ground for the suspicion
that the censorship is not so much for
the purpose of guarding against val,
liable information reaching the enemy,
as it is to hide incompetence.

the appointment of health commits

All three of the cases were put

definite has been heard at this Office
from the Bullock's Creek case.
Mr.. A. G. Mcknight, of McCon-
nellsville, who had smallpox during
the war, was appointed as guard
over the Bethesda case. After taking
a good LOCK at the patient he is report
ed to have said that the disease is
certainly smallpox.
Drs. Pressly and Campbell went out
and took a look at the Glover case.
The Negro, it will be remembered, had
previously been vaccinated; but all
the same was broken out with an
eruption. DR.. Pressly reported to Mr.
Brice that although he could not say
positively, from all his experience and
theoretical knowledge, he would dag
nose the case not as smallpox; but
chickenpox.
There has been considerable vacci.

SMALLPOX SITUATION.

There was a lively time Of in the
smallpox situation during the latter
part of last week, and for two or three
days, Clerk Brice of the county boarc
of commissioners, had his hands full.
The first alarm was from Bullock's
Creek township, the next from Kings
Mountain, and the next from Bethesda
The Negro, John King, whose case
at Clover has already been reported
caused the trouble in Bullock's Creek

doctor was ready for him to go, and
his appearance in Bullock's Greek
township naturally created considera

The next report was from Kings
Mountain. One of the inmates of the
house at which King had stopped when
he first went to Clover was reported
as having broken out with an eruption
and the problem as to what was to be
done was naturally referred to Mr.
Brice for solution.
Bethesda reported next. DIR. Love

treatment on Mr.. r. l.. Straits place
near Bethesda church. The Negro
suddenly developed an eruption from
head to foot, and the circumstance at
once raised the usual alarm. The case
was reported to Mr.. Brice with inqui-
ries as to what was to be done.
Mr.. Brice telegraphed the state
board of health, and in reply was
instructed to "Treat cases as small

Chickamauga, an officer jumped from

standing at the station to see the troops

naughty, and the correspondent says
the people of the town in which the
offense was committed are going to

1t is announced from Washington
that the army of invasion is now on
its way to Cuba, having sailed from
Key West at daybreak last Monday
morning. There have been several
false reports as to the sailing Of the
army, and one actual false start but
what these meant, except probably tc
deceive the Spaniards, cannot be def

that at least one of the statements
that cabled to London-was authori.

claimed that the time for secrecy is

that if there was nothing in the way

- August Kohn is with the South
Carolina troops at Chickamauga, and
the presumption is that he is to SO
with them to the front. To send him
will be heavy expense on his paper,
The News and Courier; but such en-
terprise should certainly meet with
proper appreciation on the part of the
people of the state. For the public to
know what our South Carolina boys
are doing means a great deal for all
concerned, and Mr.. Kohn can be
depended upon to see to it that the
boys always get full justice.
