Assistant Surgeon Castle, of Ohio,

General Chaffee's command at San

Porto Rico. He said some of the canned
beef spoiled, and much of it was ap-

the meat wholesome as a rule. The re-

two to eight hours. He saw it often,
and found hat it soon decomposed on

The Murderer Hose at lBay

Palmetto, Ga, 14.-Armed men pat
rol the streets of this little town to-
night. No uprising of the negro ele-
ment is anticipated, but the men of
Palmetto, who early in the day closed
their places of business and Joined the
posse pursuing the negro, Sam Hose.
who brutally murdered Farmer Alfred
Crawford and assaulted his wife, took
this precautionary measure for the pro-
lection of their families. .
The negro has not been caught. but
is surrounded in a swamp between
this city and Newman. Hoses hiding
place is a dense thicket, fifteen miles
long and equally as wide, and as he en-
tered it late yesterday he fired a part
ing shot at one OF his pursuers who
sought to disable him and bring him
back to Palmetto alive. 1t is believed
tonight that Hose will die fighting and
thus avoid the worse in store for him.
He has had nothing to eat and no rest
since Wednesday and Is undoubtedly
desperate. He is armed, and, knowing
that he will be lynched, will, doubtless,
make a fight With the deputies, which
will result in death. His pursuers hope
that, exhausted by his long fight, he
will be compelled to seek rest and that
they will be able to come upon him
while asleep. His pursuers number
about 300 men, all business men and
farmers, and every one of them armed.
The swamp is completely surrounded
and the negro's escape is impossible.
The funeral Of Alfred Crawford was
held today. His wife stood by his grave
but showed no sign Of emotion. 1t Is
feared that her mind has become I'M

that she will collapse completely when
she hears that her negro assailant has
been caught and lynched.

Mr.. John S. Wise, now Of New York,
has published a war book, giving his
experiences in the great war between
the south and north. He reflects in
some way upon Gen. Lee, putting the
great commander and patriot in an un-
favorable light by giving some tall he
had with young Wise, near the end OF
the war, of whom he had no knowledge
what ever. The Richmond Times at
once branded h statement as untrue.
In the issue of 18th it prints a commu-
nication from VIM. G.. Morton, of Clo-
yer, Va, dated April IL. 1899, in which
it is made plain that Capt. Wise's mem
ory is very treacherous and that he
was not with Gen. Lee, as he ayers. on
Sth, 9th or 10th of April, 1865. No one
in the south worth considering will
ever believe any thing of the peerless
Lee that in the slightest degree reflects
upon his character as a man or his
fidelity as a soldier.

The Messenger has noted the results
Of h operations Of the Trenton Cot
ton Mills at Gastonia. Its net profits
for the year were 1895 per cent. on s65,-
600. OF these earnings, 80 per cent.
were made in cash dividend, while the
remainder was added to the surplus, in
creasing that to $4,000. In five years
this company has paid in dividends 100
per cent. Of its capital stock. That will
do. 1t is excellent. If a man ends
money he can only receive by law 6
per cent. If he invests in a factory he
can take all he can get, even 100 per
cent. The manufacturing organs re-
port the mills to be started so often it
is misleading. The latest new mill we
have noticed is one at Sweepsonville.

A STAY Law FOR CUBA
Our Government Refuses Ia Consent to
Establish a Rigid La w of Ehfs Kind


Washington, April 15.-Mortgage OBJ
legations in Cuba will be extended for
another year. The extension, however,
will be Eliminated to debts secured by
mortgage or ground rents. The repre-
sentatives of the Cuban cabinet I'll
ell who have been here for some days
have had several conferences with the
officials on the subject Of general credit
extensions, during which they nave ar
gued the adoption of a plan which has
received the sanction of the council,
extending mortgage obligations for
periods ranging up to six years. They
also desire that debtors be relieved
entirely from the payment Of interest
pending final liquidation. This propo-
sition received the disapproval Of the
officials, who promptly stated that they
could not apply a principle which was
distinctly contrary to common justice,
and it was suggested TO the Cubans
that their course would speedily and
permanently injure the credit Of the
island. In assuming control OF the is
land the United States, they were told,
had declared it's purpose not to impair
existing obligations, and to asse 10
the reputation of any debt, int<rsst
or otherwise, would be in direct CONT
vention of that declaration. As TO limit
ing the extension to one ear, it was
said that the United States would not
undertake to exercise any control over
the affairs Of the island beyond the Pc
riod Of its occupancy, but if at the end
of the year a further extension for a
time seemed necessary, and the
United States still held control of the
island, it might be granted, but no OBJ
legation would now be assumed for a
longer period than one year

terpieces." Professor Saintsbury is one
of the soundest, sanest living critics
We believe in most judgments as to
authors or books he is not far from
the mark. This is more than can be
aid of any other living critic, save
Harrison (both British.) We wish to
quote here a few opinions taken here
and there from what he say Of The
Wizard of the North" as Scott was Of
ten known between 1920 and 1910. We
quote: The extraordinary greatness
of Scott-who ranks with the
greatest writer's of the worlds not
better indicated by any single fac.
than by the fact that it is impossible
to describe his novels by any simple
formula. He practically created the
historical novel; and what is more. he
elaborated it to such an extent that no
really important additions TO his
scheme have been made since he
gave The novel generally an entirely
new start and direction" He made it
''the rival of the very newspaper which
was being refashioned at the same mo-
ment.' ut was hat gift which no one
except Shakespeare has ever possessed
in larger measure"-"the gift of COM
municating life to the persons, the
story, the dialogue. He did
this by throwing on the can
vas, or rather panel, large outlines.
free sweeps of line, and breadths of
| color, instinct with vivacity and move
ment." Unlike Dickens and other writ
ers he did not label his characters,
who are teckiled for us by a gesture or
aphease repeated ad nauseam." He
had extraordinary variety of scene,
character and plot" His characters
are hardly even doubles" They
leave the variety, as they have the
truth, of nature" He made novel
writing in general turn over a complete
ly new leaf, enter upon a distinctly
different composition" If you have
taste and insight read the best histori-
q w VI I1iC OCoI NAAO oAA
by the foremost writer's and then read
Scott at his best. You will see how
Scott excells. Scott had lone in prose
fiction what the poets n dramatists
had sometimes done he had in
reality gone straight to mar as man;
he had varied the particular trapping
only to exhibit the universal sub
stance" Once more: For, after all,
it is such a body of literature as, for
complete liberation from any debts to
ventiOn, nobility of sentiment, variety
and keenness of delight, no where else
exists as the work of a single author
in prose-" This is in accord with the
best criticism of between 1880 and 1860.
1t is true. Professor S~aintsbury is one
of the best informed Of English men
of letters of the last thirty years. He
knows probably more of the English
| writer's from Chaucer to living writer's
than any man who employs English as
the vehicle of expression. His view of
Scott is not exaggerated. Of all great
novelists he is the most healthful, in
MIGRATING and stainless. He wrote
nothing in his works of creative power
that dying he could wish to blot. He
was indeed a most noble, generous,
great-hearted man. We promised some
time since that we would write of
we live we will try to fulfill this.
