urday put into effect new freight rate fot cotton from Clarendon and all points along it's lines. The rate from Clarendon, Holly Grove, Brinkley, Blackton and all points in Monroe county to Helena is now 75 cents per bale. This action by the Midland is to be commended, and we can assure the officials of the road that their aetion-is fully appreciated by the farmers generally. This reduct- ion in freight rate means saving of $2, ,0OO per season to farmers who market their cotton in Clar- endon and proportionate amount to the farmers at other points on the llne. Taken altogether, it means that $5, ,O0O to $6.000 will remain i'll the pockets of Monroe county farmers that has heretofore gone to pay freight. It is little thng, yet a big thing, Six thou sand dollars is more than a dozen average farmers will make in all average year, and forty times
  more than they sometimes make when crops are short and prices low.

To know that the thoughtless idea of d second "Daughter of the GGonfeieracya has met with dis favor by the majority of our people, is very gratifying to every true soutlierner. No good could como of such course as was pro- posed by-those enthusiasts. The title Daughter of the Confeder- acy,o will ever be linked with the lovable and loved Hiss Winnie Davis, and this k as 1t should be The role she played was absolute ly unique, and no successor how ever worthy or gifted could ever take her place in the hearts of the southern people. 1t will be far more honorable to her and the ''lost cause" that she be remem- bered as she really is the only Daughter of the Confesleraey.

WEYLER MAY BE
MILITARY DIRECTOR
Absence of Actual War News
Is Disgusting to
SagaSta.

London, May At is the absence of the
acruafa peWs-as-- 20 the war operations
which is causing great anxiety, especially
at Madrid. Senior Sagasta, the premier, in
the course of an interview, has declared
that absence is ''the most disquieting fea-
ture of the situation"
> Attention Is again riveted upon SPAIN
The special dispatches from Madrid indi-
cate that the questions of the future gov
eminent were beginning to be discussed as
though the figures of the queen regent and
King Alfonso had already disappeared
from the stage of Spanish politics.
General Weyler Is dubbed ''the Spanish
Boulanger,' and in some quarters military
dictatorship in his hands is regerded as
probable. But the widest opinion Is that
he will not succeed any better than Bou-
LANCER did. The continental press notices
the broadening political ambition of the
United States, coupled with the increasing
friendship between Great Britain and the
United States with ill-concealed aversion.
Intervention rumors are again in the air.

Key West, May 4.-The exodus of naval
men, after a brief return visit here has
been the only incident of the dullest day
since the hostilities opened. Where they
have gone is officially announced, but sur
mise is plentiful and varied. The fact that
the big battleships and monitors coaled
to the fullest capacity before steaming
away is taken to indicate a plan occupying
considerable time.
The Cuban blockade Is still rigidly kept
by the smaller cruisers under the tenn
poray command of Captain Converse of the

The departing officers are still discuss
ing Commodore Dewey's brilliant M6llia
victory and hoping for an opportunity for
a like achievement.
According to Captain Little of the fishing
schooner Antonio y Pace, captured by the
gunboat Newport few days ago. Havana
is on the verge of famine. Food is bring
ing fabulous prices. The soldiers are seiz-
ing whatever provisions are accessible AMI
citizens are burying their food in yards

OF THE ARMY
Being Considered by President
and Secretary AIger.
NOMINATION OF GENERALS
viii Hasten This Work and a Definite Scheme
of Divisions Is Expected to Be An
nounced in a Few Days.

Washington, May 4.-Now that the for
nation of the volunteer army and the re-
cruiting of the regular army to it's full war
strength is fairly under way the president
and Secretary Alger are giving some at
tention to the question of their subdivision
into corps, divisions, brigades, etc. Sew
eral tentative plans already have been
mapped out. but so far it is said none have
been finally determined upon The nomi-
nation of number of major and brigadier
generals today, however, will hasten the
completion of this work and a definite
scheme of division is expected to be an
nounced in a few days.
At Presidents Discretion
The law for the formation of volunteer
army leaves it discretionary with the
president as to whether three or more regi-
ments shall constitute a brigade, and also
whether two or three divisions shall con-
stitute a corps.
Those questions determined upon finally,
the arrangem ent of the major and brlgadi r
generals will be fixed readily. General
Miles favors the formation OF seven corps
in all-two in the regular army and 1--WE IN
the volunteer army. In other quarters 1t
has been suggested that the volunteers be
divided into three corps. major general
commands a division that the plan de-
termined upon will provide for a sufficient
number of these to give assignments to
the officers of the higher grades.
