Starve to Death, or Rob!

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The following
letter from Lieut.. Col. Carbonne, of
the Cuban army now at Havana, has
been received by Secretary Quesada, of
the Cuban delegation here, who has
laid it before Secretary Alger. with an
urgent request that steps be taken to
relieve the extreme distress it sets
forth. Lieut.. Col. Carbonne is the in
vcntor of the explosive known as car
bonite, and is regarded as the repre-
sentative at Havana of the Cuban
leaders ard forces i'll the field. He
writes as follows, the letter bearing
date of Havana, October 20:
81 am just back from the camp OF
Gen. Mcnocal, chief of our army in
this province, and let me tell you i'll
some faint way the true state OF our
poor and suffering army, and the con-
sequences that may come to the conn-
try If we do not find in a short time Il
remedy which will save us. The
Cuban army is dying with hunger.
Such terrible words in no way exag-
gcrate the actual conditions. Gen.
Menocal took me to see his weak, tot
tering and squalid soldiers-made so
on account of the want of food and the
actual necessaries of life-and to think
that these men were in such state by
reason of obeying their chiefs, who de-
sire first of all to respect the orders OF
the American Government. The Cuban
leaders in camp told me to tell you that
they will maintain resignation and pa
ticnce, and, above all, faith in the
American Government and the worthy
President Mckinley, but at the same
time let it be understood that we are
hungry; that we have in the towns and
fields Of Cuba all that is-nceded III the
way of food, but that we arc forbidden
to touch it by reason of the peace
order. They do not get from Havana
one-fourth Of what they need, and our
soldiers arc dying at the gates Of the
city for, lack Of food. What shall we
doe The time will come when we can
not bear it any longer, and then what
WILDE the result returned discon-
solatc to Havana and tried to get sue
cor, but the people are already so poor
that obtained nothing. We went to
the American commission, which re-
ccivcd us very well and offered us
much, but up 10 the present time they
have given us nothing. If by misfor-
tune we are driven by the necessities
of our army to get by force what we
need so as not to die of hunger, will
the people of the United States con-
denim us, or will the nations of the
world, which Ito not know what is hap
pcning, judge us unworthy of the SYM
pathy of the American people, We
are very happy to hear your assllran-
ccs us to our Republic. We have never
doubted the good faith and generosity
OF The United States To it we owe
the complete liberty which we have
been unable in many years to establish
by ourselves"
Secretary Algcr said he would look
into the matter and would telegraph
the commission ut Havana such in
stluctions as were appropriate TO the
cHSr

Aaron Items.

know thatyOu have wondered many
times, Mr.. Editor, what has become of
lis people up here, and can answer it !:
We have been at work so hard trying
to gather the rotten Accent cotton, that
we almost forgot there was such a
thing as a newspaper. Although we
have been quiet, we believe we can
truthfully say that there is not another
community i'll Anderson County that
can excel this one, taking things all
! around as we come to them. Aaron is
situated on the low ridge, lying between
SiX-and- Twenty Creek and the two
Beaverdam Greeks, OF, as known by
some, Rocky River, and whose gentle
slopes are covered by the snow-white
fields Of cotton, interspersed alternatcS
ly with the brown-loolling fields of
golden corn, which. ere long, will be
gathered into the many large gamers
which are awaiting their reception
with pleasure The farmers of our
little community are in easy reach Of
five stationary gins by which they may
have their cotton ginncd. They are as
follows: Messrs. Watson & Son are
running two gins, one a steam and the
other Il water-power gin, the latter Of
which is situated on the same spot
known as the cold Watson Mill Place"
Mr.. d. B. McPhail is running a very
successful gin near the old Rush stand.
Mcssrs. Newell and Neal are also run
ming gins at their respective places of
business, and in addition to this Mr..
"Jep" Dalrymple, Of Septus, is kept
quite busy with his travelling gin. So,
Mr.. Editor, you see we raise lots of cot
ton. We are situated near the center
of a section of country bounded by
four Churches each different de-
nomination-with good school house
at each.
Mr.. Major Jones, of Belton, accom-
panied by his sister, Miss Callie, paid
us flying call last Sunday afternoon.
Major is going to take the place of Mr..
j. II. Leach in the blacksmith and
wood shop Of this place. Miss Callie
has an unusually pleasant smile Oh her
face, and it may be that she is going to
get married. If it is trpe we can say
that he who is so .'lucky' as to get her,
will certainly geta wife worth having.
Major says that now as he has got
back "Therc will be hot times in the
Old Town now.''
Mrs. Mollie Mcconnell, OF NIotfatts
Vile, has been visiting relatives in this
community. Her health has been
greatly improved while she has been
in our midst. She was accompanied
by two of her children.
Mr.. j. B. Gentry made flying trip
to Fort Hill last Saturday.
Our soldier boys returned to Colum-
bia last Friday to be there at the roll
call. We hope they will be mustered
out and allowed to return home, for we
miss them very much.
Misses Hattie Guyton, Maggie Kay,
accompanied by Mr.. .Furman Kay,
visited relatives in Honca Path last
week.
We hear that Mr.. Riley, who was
elected as teacher at Hopewell, has re-
signed on account of his bad health,
and that Mr. L. NJ. Mahatlcy, their for
mer teacher, has been reelected. We
are glad that Mr.. Mahaffey is going to
be in our midst for one more year any
how. Mr.. Mahaffey has worked up Il
fourishing school at IIopewel, and we
wish that he may be successful i'll his
labors in the future. YELocISsIMo.

PUBLIC LIBRARY TRUIsMs.

The P. L. supplies the public will
recreative reading.
The P. L. helps in social and politi
cal education in the training of citi
zens.
A proper aim of the P. L. is the sup
plying of books on every profession
art or handicraft.
The P. L. is center of public happi
ness first, of public education next.
The best influence of the P. L. may
be summed up in the single word,
couture"
The schools start education; the P.
L. may carry it on.
To the great mass of the people the
p. L. comes as their best or only edu-
cational opportunity. (The largest
part of every mans education is that
which he gives himself
The free reading room of the P. L. is
a powerful agent for counteracting the
attraction of saloons and low resorts.
The P. L. then, is means for elevat-
ing and refining the taste, for giving
greater efficiency to every worker, and
for counteracting evil influences.
The free Public Library is the peo-
pies university.

Did Not See Morgan.

Patrick McSweeney was before Cor
oner Willis Wednesday afternoon and
made affidavit that he had not seen his
brother Morgan McSweeney since the
cutting of Mason Friday night, which
of course includes denial of the rumor
that he had ferried Morgan across the
Ohio in skiff. His testimony devel-
oped no new features in the case and
shed no light on the probable wherea-
bouts Of the murder. Coroner Willis
investigation of the nature ofthe crime
and the facts leading up to it, has been
thorough. The case is an open book up
to the flight of McSweeney, and the only
mystery to be solved is his whereabouts.

THE revenue receips for Jan. bid fair
to be larger than those for December,
thus showing steady growth in the
earning capacity of the Dingley law,
month by month, since its enactment;
but owing to the heavy interest pay
ments and other extraordinary ex-
penses incident to the first month of
the year, it is probable that January
will see another deficit. The time is
rapidly nearing. however, when the
free-traders will no longer be able to
cry deficit.

No reward has. yet been offered for
the capture of the much-wanted Nc

penses of what has been done and is
now being done are coming out of the
private purse of Marshal Dye. Tele-

letter from the Marshal at Cairo, w.

The prisoner, he said, was about Nc

moustache and looked as though he
had recently shaved off a beard. He
asked for man to be sent to identify
him. Marshal Dye telephoned to a
man at Cairo, who knows McSweeney,
to take look at the prisoner, but no
word was received from him last night.
