now.
For some days there has been ru-
NOR on the street that the John build
ing owned by G. M. John and William
Moorhead had been sold to DIR. /. G.
White. The amount paid for the
property was given in some instances
by those who are circulating the re-
port. Other interesting details were
given along with 1t and it made
very interesting item.
However, an inquiry of one Of the
owners shows that there is nothing in
the report. They have not sold the
property and they do not intend to
sell it. They take the view that 1t
is worth as much to them as to any
one else and they will retain the own
ership of it. They will put fine
business block on the lot in the end.
This will not be done this year as it
would be too late in the season by the
time the arrangements for that could
be made, but the building will go up
next season in all likelihood.
This lot is one of the best lfnot the
the very best location in town and the
building which is to be put on it will
be an ornament In every way to the
town. Every one is sorry that it is
not going up this summer but they
are glad to know that at no distant
time the firm will be back at the old
stand. The firm has many friends
and they will be glad to see the DAM
age inflicted by the recent fire repaired
The ruins at present standing on
spot will be removed. A force Of
men are engaged on this work now
and they will have it done in very
short time. The lot will be cleared
of and the unsightly ruins will not
remain as monument to our loss
from the fire.

HE Is PROMOTED.

Billy st. Clair is now n Second Lieu
tenant OF the V0lunteers-AIl well
that ends well.
A letter written by William E. st.
Clair just before he left for the south
gives us the notice of a promotion
that he has received from the author
titles. He is now second lieutenant
which is better thing than he had
in the first place. He was regimental
quartermaster and ranked all the
other non commissioned officers, but
had not reached the commission yet.
When he got to Charleston there
were so many reductions that he fin
ally landed as company quartermas-
ter which was very much below the
place from where he had started.
This reduction was not at all to his
liking, but he was anxious to go to
the front in any capacity, and he said
nothing, but bided his time Suisse
quent events have proved the wisdom
of his course He has gone up several
notches on account Of the moving
around among the officers and has now
been promoted to a second lieutenancy.
His friends here will be glad to hear
of his promotion and congratulated
him on having received 1t.

Promised---Fairmo will meet
them in full force.
The excursion to Fairmont start
ed this morning at 8 o'clock and
there were about 100 people who
started on this boat. This is the first
time since 81 that an attempt has
been made to get to the Mountain
City by the river. Several boats
have made the trip and it is not an
impossibility although it has many
of the elements of chance about
it.
The Florence Bell is the boat
which has gone and it will get up if
any boat can as the master off says
he can climb ladder with his yes
sci if it is necessary. Little Falls
and Big Falls are the only two bar
riers which are likely to stop the
crowd and if these can be passed
the boat will make the trip all right.
The people in Fairmont are great
ly excited over the matter and the
whole population will be down to see
it come in. They received few of
the bills advertising the trip and
they printed lot more and distrib-
uted them over town so that the ex-
cursion is the sole topic of converse
tion there.

WEST INDIES STORM.
Jamaicans Unable to Give Sufferers
of Islands Assistance.

KINGSTON Gamaica), Sept 2O-At
public meeting to-day, called for the
purpose of raising funds for the relief
of the sufferers from the recent hurri-
cane which swept over the West In
dian Islands, the Archbishop of the
West Indies declared that the condi-
ton Of Jamaica was such that it was
not possible to do more than empha-
size an expression of sympathy with
those who were in need of help. Any
substantial aid, he added, comprehend
ing the establishment of the original
conditions of the devastated islands,
must, in his opinion, necessarily take
the form of imperial assistance on a
large scale.
Public opinion here indorses the state
ment of the Archbishop and especially
holds Great Britain responsible for she
industrial crisis which renders the
other West Indian colonies impotent to
give the suffering islands substantial
aid

Spanish Are Abandoning the Out
lying Districts.
American Flag Raised at AguidiIIa, San
Sebastian and Lares.
Spanish Control Now Drawn With
in Lines From Humacao to Abo-
nito, Thence to Arreibo, Which
Territory Comprises Less Than
One-Third of the Island.

SAN JUAN, Sept. 2O.-The evacua-
ton of the outlying positions occupied
by the Spaniards began yesterday.
Aguidilla, San Sebastian and Lares
were abandoned by them, and the
troops of General Garretson's brigade
and the Eleventh Infantry marched in
and raised the American flag. The
Spanish troops from the abandoned po-
sitions are concentrated at Arreibo,
whence they will reach San Juan by
railroad as soon as transportation is
available. They could not enter the
city before, owing to its crowded con-
dition
On Wednesday the Spaniards will
evacuate the island of Vieques, where
company of American troops, dis
patched from General Grants brigade,
has been landed. The Spanish troops
from the island of Vieques will remain
at Hulnacao until the Spaniards fall
back on the line of the military road.
Spanish control is now confined to
within line drawn from Humacao to
Abonito, and from there to Arreibo,
less than one-third of the island.
In spite of the fact that some of them
nave been disillusionized, the influx of
American promoters continues. Most
of them are at Ponce and unable to
reach San Juan, owing to the military
regulations. An agent of the American
Sugar Refinery Company is here, and
many others are seeking business op-
portunities, franchises and concessions.
Most of them are fretting over the
unfavorable delays.
The condition of the troops on the
island is not improving. Almost 1850
men have been reported sick General
Brooke is doing all in his power to i'm
prove the condition of the soldiers, and
afford them every comfort possible He
has ordered every military tent on the
island to be fitted with flooring.
Messrs. Luce and Dumares, the finan-
cial agents of the Government. who
have established the Bank of Ponce
here, are consulting with Major Cen
eral Brooke relative to the currency
situation. They report that business
is at standstill, owing to the fiuctu-
ations of the local currency just at the
time the planters need money for their
crops. They are offered mortgage loans
at Is per cent, but they cannot do any
thing until the rate of exchange is
fixed. They believe it should be about
two for one, and probably will report
on the subject to the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington. General Brooke
is investigating the matter thoroughly
with the view of taking action when
our sovereignty over the island is COM
plete. The financial agents also say
that many of the spectators who
focked to Ponce are returning to the
United States disillusionized, and con-
WINGED that the island is not an Ell Do
