a Good Plan.

1t is almost certain that from 100, 900
to $50, 900 soldiers who have been call
ed into service to meet the emergencies
of the war with Spain will soon be mus
tered out. In this connection Adju-
tant General Corbin made recently a
most gratifying announcement. He
said:
Before any troops are mustered out
the department will issue an order
which is being made ready, and which
will be of the utmost Importance to both
the soldiers and the government. 1t
has been geneally noticed that the ex-
aminations to which the men were sub
jected prior to acceptance were quite Sc.
we're. Some of the states complained OF
them as being too severe. At all
events, throtgh these severe examina-
tions We got high class Of men physi-
cally. Now, before they are mustered
out they are to go through just such
another examination. Having the re-
cord of their examinations on their ac-
ceptance the medical officers will know
whether or not they are sound when.
they are mustered out. The later ex-
animation will reveal whether they were
wounded, sprained, impaired in hearing
or injured in sight, and if they have
suffered any disability that they know
Of or that the physician can find. This
is to be PIT down in black and white,
and the soldier is to sign 1t. il ne
knows of no objections to 1t.
This is an emiuently practical sug-
sestion and perfectly properly one:
If such plan had been adopted
when the Federal troops were mustered
out at the close Of the civil war many
pension fraud would have been prevent
ed and the treasury would have been
saved many millions of dollars which
have gone to undeserving pensioners.

GEN. MILES MU ST EXPLAIN
Clash of tbs War SECRETARY and Co!!I-
,manGer- n-Chief.

When Gen. Miles returns to Wash
inrton he will bc asked for an cxrlana-
ton Of recent :ntcrviewSappcaring with
him. and the publication of certain dis
patches which the war department has
not made public. Whether the invcs-
tiration will take the course Of 4 Mill
tarv Court Of Inquiry or private in
tcrvicw between the President, the
Secretary Of War and Gen Miles re-
mains yet to be Seen Until the arrival
Of Gen Miles the war department will
not discuss the matter. Secretary A.
ger says that the department will not
enter into any controversy with its sub
orainates, and he does not propose to
discuss matters affecting Gen Miles dur
ing his absence.
The department is Of opinion that
Gen. Miles made public the dispatches
of the Secretary, Gen. Shafter and him
self. Such action it regards as 4 breach
Of military regulations. but no military
Court can secure proof that Gen. Miles
made public the dispatches if he and
the person to whom they were furnished
refuse to give the information, as sew
cral military trials have made it set
tied law that no military Court can
compel a civilian to testify if he does
not want to. Gen. Miles also may be
called to account for the interviews with
him. AZ. unless disavowed. they would
place him in the attitude of criticing
his superior officers, and subject him to
military discipline
The publication Of the dispatches
taken together with previous interviews
in the Kansas City Star, were the topic
OF conversation among officers of the
war department, and already there is
disposition by some to take sides in the
matter. while others deplore the cond'
tions as tending to lower the tole of
the army and to do irreparablc injury
to the service. 1t is expected the con-
troversy will extend to both houses Of
Congress. and it is feared will have an
adverse effect upon the legislation
which will be asked to better the army.
1t is generally understood that the regu-
lar force will have to be largely in
creased. at least until the conquered
islands are disposed Of, and it is feared
that legislation in this direction will be
nampered by the inevitable controversy
between the Secretary of War and the
general commanding the army.

LOVES ONLY HIS PARAMOUR.
Peculiar Answer of Atlanta Lawyer
to a Divorce Suit.

\ suit for divorce, filed by Mrs. T. J.
Leftwich of Atlanta against her hus-
band, who in addition to being one Of
the best known lawers of Atlanta. is
the son of DR.. J. T. Leftwich, Pres
byterian preacher Of wide reputation,
has provoked a rejoinder today from the
defendent which bristles with remarka-
bic features. The defendant admits
that he was unduly intimate with Maud
Jordan. as his wife asserts, and
declares openly that for years he has
given her the affection and and atten
ton which was due his wife, and that
it is his intention to marry her as soon
as released from his present matrimo-
nial bonds. He says that his marriage
fifteen years ago was in every way un-
fortunate, and that when he met Maude
Jordan he realized her as his souls
ideal. He treated her as a wife and
has had two children, boy of 5 years
and a girl Of s months, by her, He al
leges that he recently called a council
of his most intimate friend told them
the circumstances, and declared that
she and he would prefer disgrace and
rather than undergo sep
aration. He asserts that he dearly
loves the Jordan woman and his two
illegitimate children, and any sacrifice
which he can make for their welfare
will not be too great

The Game Laws.

Inquiries are frequently made as to
the requirements Of the South Carolina
game laws. so that the following terse
summary Of the laws just gotten out by
the Union Metallic Go. will be Of gen
eral interest to sportsmen and others
who do not care to wade through the nu
merous acts on the subject:
Deer-It is illegal to kill or hunt
deer, or chase them with dogs, between
February l, and September /, except in
the counties of Clarendon, Berkeley,
Georgetown, Marion, Colleton, Darling
ton, Williamsburg, Horny, Marlboro
and Kershaw, in which counties it is
nov lawful between February and Au-
gust /.
Other Birds (open season)-It is il
legal, between April and November
l, to hunt or kill any wild turkey, par
fridge, quail, woodcock or pheasant,
or, between March l and August /, any
dove, or to kill at any time during the
year any of the BIRDS named, by fire
light or fash light.
Nonresident Neutrality-suspicious.
may purchase licence for shooting
game of any kind. Cost s25. This
does not apply to persons hunting or
killing game on their own land.

Prepare for Wheat.

Let the farmers, possessed Of fore
sight, energy and business tact, con
slider the value of the wheat crop.
Heretofore there was little demand
for surplus wheat except for seed. 1t
was too convenient to buy store flour.
For the last few years our merchants
would hardly have known what to do
with 500 bushels Of wheat put on the
market in one day With several roller
mills in the country and 4 large one
nearly ready to grind inthc city, wheat
will demand cash almost as readily as
cotton. The ambition of the farmer is
% bring his cotton crop up to 800
bale to the acre. The same land pro
pcrly prepared will make 20 to 30
bushels of wheat. 1t requires man
and horse two days to prepare the land
and put in one acre of wheat. 1t ta kes
six times as much labor to plant, cult
vatc and gather q cotton crop as 1t does
wheat. The wheat land will also pro-
duce 4 late corn and pea cropand with the
addition Of little manure, the land
will be improved Let the farmers
consider this question from a business
stand point. With these mills going
I'M. wheat will bring ready cash.

The Price of Cotton

At this date last year cotton was
quoted in New York at S cents. Be
fore the lst Of November without any
suspicion that the crop would approx
mate any such astonishing figures as
eleven million bales, cotton declined
over two cents per pound. Cotton IS
now quoted in New York at j cents.
with an estimated surplus on hand Of one
and one half million bales greater than
this TING last yearto be supplemented
by crop equal, if not exceeding last
years crop. Should this enormous
volume Of cotton be hurriedly thrown
upon the market, already glutted with
an over supply. i, would be hard to pre-
dict how low prices would be forced; it
is not at all improbable that cotton
would touch four cents. The Spartan
burg Herald says the Cotton Growers
Union have evolved plan for market
ing cotton with system and judgment
rather than by throwing large quantities
on the market at once. They propose
to offer the farmers practical plan
which will accomplish this result and
the farmers Of South Carolina should
lose no time in getting in shape TO
adopt it. Full details Of the plan have
not yet been given out, but the state
organization of which Hon. J. G. Vel
born, of Yorkville, is president, should
call convention and inaugurate the
organizations in counties and townships
so that the plan can be made effective
promptly If the plan Of the Cotton
Growers Union Could be put in opera
ton it would insure 6 cents net for
every pound of cotton regulated by it.
The difference between cents and s
on ten million bales would be one hun
dred million dollars; i stake, sufficient
it seems to us, to interest the entire
South. With almost every Southern
interest, more or less interviewer with
the interest of the cotton growers, it
does seem that they might combine
with the cotton growers in their effort
to consumate a policy which promises
such great benefit to our section.

Rains Damage Cotton.

The weather bureau in IS review Of
crop conditions for the week ending Au-
gust 90 says:
Continued heavy rains have proved
unfavorable in the South Atlantic and
East Gulf States, while drought pre-
walls in portions Of Texas, Arkansas
and Missouri and generally through the
States of the eastern Rocky Mountain
slope. The week has been very unfaaa
yorable to cotton, especially over the
greater part of the eastern portion OF
the cotton belt, where it has suffered
from heavy rains, which have been con:
tinuous for the past month, causing
rust, shedding and too rapid growth of
stalk. In portions of North Carolina
and over the general part Of the cotton
region. conditions of the past week
have been somewhat more favorable,
and the crop is improved in Tennessee,
Missouri and portions of Mississippi
and Arkansas. Cotton has also i'm
proved in central and northern Texas,
but insects are causing damage in many
localities, and premature opening and
shedding are reported from the central
and southern portiong of the State.
Picking is becoming general in north

Lost in the Mountains.

Thursday morning, Alice, daughter
of George and Caroline Peck, who live
in the northeastern end of Burns val
ley, Pennsylvania, near the mountains,
wandered from home, and being only
5 years old, was soon lost in that ex-
tensive chain of mountains extending
from Concord to Cumberland county.
An alarm was Immediately given and
the people Of Burns valley and vicini-
ty turned cut to search for the lost one.
The search was continued night and
day until Sunday morning without
finding any trace of her. On that NOR
ming about l50 men gathered at the
foot of the mountains. Forming line
they marched through the woods

The Col )r Line Again.

Soliicrs passing through Altoona tell
a strange story regarding the death OF
Quartcrmaster George B. Franks, Of
Company G, 18th New York regiment.
The regiment is encamped at Chat
tanooga. Because of the death of
three hospital patients after drinking
milk sold by negroes living IN the
neighborhood, the quartermaster Of
Of Company G, would not allow the ne
groes to sell anything to his company.
Friday night gang of negroes caug hit
Franks outside of the camp grounds,
and, after beating him nearly to death,
threw him under passing railroad train.
Since ther the guards have been or
dercd to shoot any negroc who attempts
to pass the camp lines.
