last Friday. '''.'A dispatch from Kras-

MILES ON THE NEW ARMY.
Thinks There Should BE $4,000 Men With
100 to the Company.

Thinks There Should BE $4,000 Men With
100 to the Company. .... ..
General Miles appeared one day last
week before the sub. committee of the
senate committee on military affairs,
which has the army reorganization bill
under consideration. He suggested
that, in view of the probability that
the reorganization bill could not get
through this session, a temporary sub
stitute should be provided for the
maintenance of the army on its present
basis until the next session of con.
gress. General Miles also made sew
eral recommendation bearing upon
the general bill; but these were large.
ly along the lines of suggestions made
by him which have already been given
to the public. One of the recon-
mendations which he repeated was for
the organization Of the army upon the
basis of one soldier for every 1000 OF
the population of the United States
proper, and for every 500 of those oc-
cupyiug outside possessions.
The subcommittee has practically
abandoned all idea of attempting to
revive the grade of lieutenant general
of the army because of the controver.
sizes existing among the officers of the
army of high rank.
General Miles said that he had made
u calculation showing that upon his es'
innate the army would number about
rs, 900 men. He thought we should
need a force of $4,000 in the Philip
pines, $4,000 in Cuba and 5000 in
Porto Rico. He criticised the provis-
ion of the bill determining the size ol
companies, saying that 106 men were
sufficient for company in any branch
of the service. TO increase the NUN
Der would give too many men to the
officers in charge of them and thus en-
danger discipline. He also recon-
mended the increase of the genera
staff on the plan pursued by the Ger
man army.

ing the character of the army beef are
being pushed at the war department
with the greatest expedition. 1t is
stated at army headquarters that all
the information General Miles had OBJ
tanned from officers reports and other
sources on the character of the meat,
had been transmitted to the war in
vestigation commission before that
body adjourned. From the commits
sion it was returned to the war de.
partment and thence will be transmit.
ted to the court of inquiry.
Colonel George B. Davis, the judge
advocate of the court, was at the war
department today, making prepara-
tions for the session of the court, and
later in the day went to the agricul
tural department, where the analysis
of the army meat were made, 10 look

view TO determining how far the ex-
perts of the department might aid the
court in thoroughly probing the matter

thermometer and reported three de
grees below zero. Then he remarked
"That breaks all previous records
in this section"
"For how long ?" the reporter asked.
"As far back as l have any kno~l-
edge-45 years, at least"
"What is the lowest point previous
ly registered
"Years ago, an ordinary thermome-
ter that then had in my possession
registered two degrees below zero.
But am satisfied that the thermome-
ter was not correct. 1t may have been
colder or net quite SO cold. I am sat-
isfied, though, it was not as cold as it
is pow."
"Then there is no question as to the
correctness of your government ther-
mometer
"No, it is correct; or at least am
able to determine the exact tempera-
ture from it. 1t now registers five de-
grees below zero; but on account OF a
fault in the placing of the glass to the
scale, this means an error of two de-
grees. I have made allowance for
this error"
"And what about the snow fall OF
Saturday and Sunday. How deep
was it ?"
~ measured very carefully in a
dozen or more places, and from these
measurements I calculate that the
depth was exactly 8 inches. Melted,
it amounted to thirty-six one-hun-
dredths of an inch"
The total rainfall during January,
according to Mr.. Schorb's very accu-
rate record, was SOL inches and du-
ring February, up to and including the
snow fall of Saturday and Sunday, was
4.69 inches.

weather prophet, was the source
of my information. Yes, l told
you that "the WORST of the
winter was NOT HALF OVER,
and offered you nice Blankets at

if you had purchased then would
have prevented much of your

listen to the ticking clock and
the whistling, bowling winds.

was flowing freely from one mans face
and arm, and from the others wrist
Mr.. Shuman 'phoned Chief Orr al
once. A carriage was sent for them
and they were brought to police head
quarters. On being interrogated they
gave their names as Will Mccoy and
C. A. Nevin, of Fort Mill, sc. They
had been assaulted, they said, by un'
known parties-boys. Que had bad
cash on the jaw and arm the other on
the wrist. They had been drinking
but we're not drunk. DR.. Hawley, city
physician, was sent for and attended
to their wounds.
Mr.. Mellow Misquoted.
Mr.. Mellow was misquoted in our
report of the legislative proceedings
last Saturday. That portion OF the
report was extracted verbatim from
the Columbia correspondence of The
News and Courier. Mr.. Kohn has
made the correction in his paper.
Here is the way he fixes it: "1n my
report of yesterdays proceedings, rel
atiye to the South Carolina college
appropriation, the wires, or somebody
else, made a mistake. Mr.. Mellow, of
York, asked the question of Mr.. Blease
as to DR.. Carlisle's salary, and what
came in the way of debate should
have been credited To Mr.. Blease.
Mr.. Mellow favored the committees
suggestion of, $27, 500 for the South
Carolina college, and is one of the
warmest friends of that and all state
colleges. Mr.. Blease, and not Mr..
Mellow, wanted to provide for reduc-
ing and fixing the professors and pres
ident's salary"
Advantage Of Good Roads.
Messrs. John F. and w. s. Gordon
sold Mr.. J. H. Riddle a big lot. of COT
ton seed recently, and during the past
few days they have been making de-
livery. The Messrs. Gordon live out
on the Charlotte road, about Al miles
from town, and they have been haul
ing these seed at the rate of some
thing like $500 pounds to the. load.
One load weighed exactly 1866 pounds.
They used four mules; but Mr.. John
F. Gordon remarked that he could
have easily done the work with three.
The point in the incident is the fact
that it was possible to deliver the seed
at all. Any other farmer, on any other
road, the same distance from York
Vile, could not have made delivery at
less than SO per cent. more than the
cost to the Messrs. Gordon. Two
years ago, at this season, the Messrs.
Gordon could not have undertaken to
deliver the same amount of seed at 80
per cent. advance on the then market
price. Good roads evidently pay.

SMALLPOX IN GEORGIA.
The Disease Is of the Usual Mild Type
and Not Dangerous.


and Not Dangerous.
DR.. c. P. Wertenbaker, surgeon
United States Marine Hospital service,
who came to Atlanta several days ago
at the request of Governor Gambler,
has returned to the city after an inves-
tigatiou of the smallpox in several
counties of the state, says an Atlanta
dispatch of Friday. DR.. Wertenbaker
reports that the disease in the coun-
ties visited is very light and can be
easily stamped out. He left tonight
for other counties, where the pest is
reported. DR.. Wertenbaker said:
"Smallpox that / have found this
time in Georgia is very mild. Many
have it in this mild type and don't
know what is the matter with them.
l would prefer that the type be little
more malignant, as it would then make
the patient sick enough to 60 to bed
and we could stamp out the epidemic
easier.
"The disease is everywhere through
out the United States. 1t is just as
prevalent in summer as winter. We
hear of more cases in the winter and
during the cold season because the peo'
pie stay closer together in the winter
and live in houses that are much closer
than in summer.
Governor Gambler today sent cir
cuiar letter to the health authorities OF
every county in the state making in
quiries as to the existence of small po1
or suspicious sicknesses, which showed
a tendency to develop that disease.

AN IMPORTANT MATTER.

pEFORE deciding his course for next
ID season, the farmer will have many
matters to decide. Most of them will de-
eide to use Commercial Fertilizers Uf some
kind. If Fertilizers pay at all, 1--WE think
they do) it will pay to use the best. His
time, labor and money are thrown away
if he uses poor Fertilizers. We sell WILL
COX, GIBBES d CO.'S goods-made in
Charleston. These people have the repu'
tation of using the best material in their
Fertilizers. We think we have contracted
for our Fertilizers at price that will en-
able us to sell at price that will be to the
interest of the farmers to buy from US.
We will sell by the SACK, TON or CAR
LOAD. We have sold these goods for
three years and they have given universal
satisfaction. Wecan deliver at any station
ON either railroad.
