the most perfect and most reliable pre-
pared paint ever put on the market, its
composition including every ingredient
which experience has taught to be valua-
BILE to the protection Of wood from the
destroying climatic changes of every lati-

In fact, it is the formula by which it is
made that gives it the peerless position
over all other prepared paints of which

the matter over.
If you want to paint your home on your

general, and major general, and f.
nally lieutenant general Of cavalry.
He commanded the cavalry corps of
the western army in 1862 and was
made senior cavalry general ofthe Con-
federate armies May IL, 1864. He de-
clined professorship of philosophy
in the Louisiana seminary in 1866, and
in 1869 became a lawyer in Alabama.
He. was representative in congress
from that state in the Forty-seventh,
Forty ninth, Fifty-6rst and Fifty-sev-
enth congresses.
AS cavalry officer he ranked with
Generals Bedford, Forest and j. E. b.
Stuart and the Federal general, Sheri-
dan, though he was younger than eth
er of them. At 26 years of age he re-
ceived the thanks of the Confederate
congress for his magnificent service
and of South Carolina for defending
Aiken.
He was both strategist and fight
er, audacious, tireless, aggressive, the
incarnation of energy. He was present
at Pensacola and captured Prentiss's
division at Shiloh, covering the re-
treats from Shiloh, Corinth and Perry
Vile and winning commendation from
the Confederate generals. He turned
Rosecran's flank at Murfreesboro, cap
turing troops and wagons and de-
stroying gunhoats and supplies. He
distinguished himself at Chickamauga
and after the battle made his famous
raid around Rosecran's rear, Destroy
ing 200 loaded wagons.
In the East Tennessee campaign, the
retreat from Mission Ridge and the
struggle from Chattanooga to Atlanta,
he performed prodigies of valor, cap
turing great wagon trains and thou
sands of beef cattle and thwarting
Cooks great raid.
During Sherman's march to the sea
General Wheeler defended Macon and
Augusta and hung on Sherman's course
through the Carolinas, thereby evoking
President Davis's commendation. Gen
eral Wheeler was wounded three times
and had his horse shot under him, and
seven of his staff officers were killed
and three were wounded. AS a ma
tional legislator he has exhibited the
traits that distinguished him as a SOL
dier.

The destination of Sampson's feet

The destination of SIMPSONS fleet
of heavier vessels, which left Key West
with all the coal they could carry, was
treated as a matter of mystery. 1t
was stated as probable, however, that
the fleet had gone to meet the Spanish
hotilla, and that as a result the pro-
posed invasion of Cuba would be
delayed for several days, possibly for
two weeks. The First infantry, one Of
the regiments intended for the Cuban
invasion, was being put through sew
eral severe drills, including the throw
ing up of emergency earthworks with
tin cups, skillets, bayonets and what
ever happened to be handy.
The Washington authorities were
reported not to be giving much Gre
dence to the story that the Spanish
fleet had sailed back to Cadiz, and a
London cable from Key West, states
as fact that SIMPSONS fleet is bound
full speed for Porto Rico for the pur-
pose of either destroying or occupying
the coaling stations there before the
arrival of the Spaniards. The dis
patch goes on to say, that after this
work is accomplished the fleet will
continue on to meet the Spaniards and
engage them ats 1t is claimed that
this London dispatch escaped censor
ship.
1t was suggested also as possibility
tbot tho Snopich foot instead of
going to Porto Rico, might start out
for the Philippines with the intention of
attacking Commodore Dewey before
he could get help from America.
There was more loose talk of'fear for
the Oregon, Nichteroy and gunboat
Marietta which are on their way from
Rio Janeiro to join the American YES
sells engaged in the blockade of Cuban
ports

Condition of the Weather-Good Fruit
Prospects-Hickory Grove Company to
BE Reorganized.
Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.
HooDTowN, May 5.-The farmers have
had quite task before them preparing
and planting the crops on account OF so
much wet weather; but the more favora-
BILE weather of the last two weeks has en-
abled them to get pretty well done plant
ing. Showers of rain will he needed,
however, to bring up the crops, especially
on red land where heavy crust has form
ed which the crops cannot penetrate.
Wheat and oats are looking well, and
from present indications bid fair to be
good.
Despite the late frosts the fruit trees are
generally laden with fruit, except in some
low places.
Mr.. S. M. Feemster, of the Bullock g
Greek neighborhood, who was stricken
with paralysis while working in bis field
last Thursday afternoon, is improving
quite rapidly, and at this writing is able
to be up some.
Mr.. r. B. Black is all smiles at present
in spite of the dark outlook from the low
ering war clouds. OF course it's fine
boy.
Mr.. John D. Whitesides, captain of the
Hickory Grove rifles, has been asked to
raise a. volunteer company numbering 80
men to report in Columbia. After the
silly and heartless joke that was played
on our boys several Of them have ex-
pressed their willingness to volunteer,
and if the boys in the Hickory Grove
neighborhood do not back down, our
Country jaspers" will likely help roll up
the list to defend our good old common
wealth.
Early corn and cotton are not ready for
work, although poor stands of cotton are
complained Of in places. With favorable
seasons the farmers will eat but little idle
bread for a while, and some of them will
have to be as valiant and active as our
brave seamen who are encountering the
Spaniards, in order to etfectually jugulate
their insidious foe, General Green"
Your correspondent has been quite in
disposed for several weeks, and now
thinks Of taking trip to the mountains
of western North Carolina next week to
try and regain health. VoCE.

WEDNESDAYS DEVELOPMENTS.
Synopsis of More Important News Publish
ed Thursday Morning.

ed thursday morning.
There was an unusual dearth of
news in the Associated Press dis
patches of Thursday morning. 1t is
now generally understood that the AS
sociated Press has become subject to
a more rigid censorship than ever be-
fore, and it is giving out little that
does not seem to bear the stamp of Of
fetal approval.
Washington was reported TO be in
terested over several things. The
principal source of interest was the
probable operations of Commodore
Dewey. 1t was stated by the Asso-
ciated Press that the department had
no official information from the Phil
ippines. Several special correspond
ents, who have regulations for veraci-
ty, state that they have been authori-
tatively informed by member of the
foreign relations committee of the
house, "that the American flag flies
over Manila" The Associated Press
reports that the government is fitting
out at San Francisco the City Of Pekin
and the Australia with cargoes of coal
ammunition and other supplies, to be
hurried to Dewey so soon as the COM
modore makes an official report.
Whether or not the ships will also car
ry troops had not been given out.

OFF TO THE WAR.

TT may be owing to the strong proba-
L bilities of war with Spain and to the
fact that our certificates contain no restric-
tions or forfeitures on account of war or
riots, that THE CAROLINA BENEVO-
LENT ASSOCIATION has, within the
past ten days, made such wonderful
strides.
One agent alone, in four days, sent in so
applications, and he remarked that he
could not have them examined fast
enough to suit the applicants, as they
wanted protection at once. This is truly
encouraging to the promoters of this
benevolent and cooperative plan Of life
insurance, and it is positive proof that
the intelligent people of this section of the
state are anxious to foster a meritorious
industry. The plan is simply the neigh
bors of the counties of which division
consists, insuring themselves at cost, with
only an additional expense of 81 per
capita to guarantee the management to be
carried on upon systematic and business
principles.
We have been in business only about
four weeks and have averaged over 100
applications a week, and have only four
or five active agents in the field. We
propose to put this equitable, cheap and
solvent plan of insurance within the reach
of every eligible man and woman within
the circuit of the various divisions. We
have not heard an adverse criticism upon
our plan of operation worthy of note since
it's introduction. We invite the most
investigation and challenge
the world to produce more equitable,
a more solvent and cheaper plan Of life
protection. D. E. BONEY, Manager.

WHERE is SAMPSON?
Possible He Will Meet the Spaniards on
the High Seas.


Of all the stories that are being told
of the probable plans of Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet, it is likely that the
one told by the Washington cores
pondent of the New York Herald is
nearest the mark. According to this
story the department has advices of
the movements of Spain's fleet. Schley
has been ordered'to joint Sampson at
a point on the high seas already agreed
upon. Numerous fast vessels are
scouting the seas on the lookout for
Spain's ships. 1t is expected some OF
these ships will find the approaching
fleet, and will at once come back and
notify Sampson. Soon thereafter will
follow the greatest naval battle that
has ever occurred within the history
of the world, and it is likely that there
will be news of it within the next few
days.

LATEST FROM FRONT.
Telegraghic Summary of Fri,
days Developments.
BY Telegraph TO The Yorkville Enquirer.

France Had Better Be Careful.
WASHINGTON, May GA dispatch
from Key West says that the gunboat
Annapolis last night captured French
blockade runner, the Lafayette, while
irving to enter Havana harbor.
The Lafayette had on board 16l Span
ish soldiers including y officers. 1t
is believed that France will protest
against the capture. A circumstance
that is taken as significant of the prob
able connection of the French govern
m ent with the incident is the fact that
the Lafayette mounts guns which have
been identified as belonging to the
French naval reserve.
Maybe So and Maybe No.
Secretary Long today stated posi-
lively that no official report has yet
been received from Commodore Dewey,
and promised that whenever such a
report was received, whether day or
night, it would be made public at once.
He Is the Man.
1t is stated here today that the war
department has settled upon Major
General Fitzhugh Lee to have COM
mand of military operations in Cuba.
General Lee will either accompany
the army of invasion or follow within
a few days.
News From Dewey.
NEW YORK, May 6.-The Japanese
have received news by way of Formo-
sa that after Dewey whipped the Span
ish fleet and silenced the Cavite guns,
he bombarded the city of Manila.
The city was attacked by the insur-
gents at the same time and was set on
fire by them. AS soop as the Spanish
flag was hauled down, the leading
families of Manila began to tender
their allegiance to the United States,
and many petitioned for citizenship.
Quiet was restored within few hours
after the landing of the Americans.
After the Canaries.
LONDON, May cit is reported
that the admiralty has been notified
of the intention of SIMPSONS fleet to
at tack the Canary islands, and that
the United States government has ad-
vised the removal of British subjects
at once. Cruisers are to be sent to the
Canaries today.
England Is Hands Off.
Renewed propositions have been
made to Great Britain looking to in
tervention to put a stop to the war.
The government has again given it to
be clearly understood that it has no
sympathy with any such undertaking.
Still Fighting With Lies.
Madrid dispatches say that the
Spanish government has had publish
ed an "inspired statement" setting
forth that Admiral Dewey is penned up
in Manila by Spanish gunboats, con-
cealed outside the harbor. 1t is be-
lieved here that the story is merely a
foolish attempt to placate the infuri-
ated Spanish populace.
More Prizes.
KEY WEST May 6.-Two Spanish
ste amers loaded with supplies for Ha-
vana, were brought here today.
