expressing to my friends my grateful
sense Of the spontaneous and almost
universal sympathy shown by them tor
the loss | have recently sustained by
fre. Let me now assure them that |
am profoundly touched by their mani
fcstation of kindness and by the p-opo-
sal to rebuild my house; But they
must pardon me for asking them to
abandon this intended act OF kindness,
though the motives which prompt It
are fully and gratefully appreciated. L
cannot accept from my friends testl-
monial Of regard such as they propose,
but the affection shown by them IN
wishing to reimburse me for my loss can
never be forgotten, for it is priced BY
me far more than any gift from them
could ever be. 1t is the duty OF every
citizen to serve his State whenever
called on to do SO, and his sole reward
should be the consciousness of having
fulfilled that obligation. If my fellow

Onnositien TO Rural Free Delivery.

There seems to be good deal OF
feeling among the fourth class post
Offices all over the country against the
rural free delivery which has been estao,
Iished by the postofice department, and
the hostility 70 the system has taken
various forms. The reason for this Is
that the ru.aI free delivery cuts down
the patronage Of the fourth class post
offices, not only in regard to the mall,
and consequently the postmaster 5 sal
ary, but as thousands Of these postot-
fees are in small country stores it wars
against these establishments. Now
that wagon goes over the country
roads and delivers the mail direct to
the houses Of the country people, many
VINO used to 90 to the store to get their
mail need not do so now. The hosslll-
ty has grown 50 intense in some places
for instance, in Maryland-that ac-
tual Interference has taken place to
break up the system. The department
has sent out circular letter as gen,
eral warning to the forty odd thousand
postmasters to quit their hostile attl,
tude. Ia this circular warning against
molcsting mail boxes placed in coun-
try roads is given. Attention Is called
to the penalty for disturbing these
boxes. showing that the fine is not less
than 500 nor more than $1,000, and
that Imprisonment Of not less than one
year or more than three is imposed.

Run Down by Bloodhounds.

A dispatch from Chattanooga, Tenn,
says Jessie Hafley, Negro, eighteen
years of age, has been arrested at Day
ton as the assailant Of Miss Bessie
Sparks, whose room at the home OF Mr..
Dean he entered Sunday morning. The
negro was apprehended after an excit.
ing bloodhound chase. The dogs OF
Detective Phipps, of Chattanooga, were
placed on the trail soon after the crime
and traced the negro several miles into
the country, followed by mob Of ex-
cited and i1furiated men. The blood
hounds were first introduced to a pair
Of old shoes the negro had left in the
young lady's room. sKing Henry" a
now famous dog, took up the trail from
the Dean residence, following it until
he reached barnyard out Of town.
When the dog saw the negro at work in
the yard he gave sharp bark and
grabbed the man, who begged the crowd
to protect him from the animal. Many
wanted to let the dog tear him to pieces,
but Officer Phipps would not allow this.
The man said the shoes were his, but
that they had been stolen from his
room. Later he made a full confession,
in which he related the story Of the
struggle in Miss Spark sroom. He said
his motive was robbery, but later ac-
knowledged that his intention was to
assault the young woman.

). Wright. Honea Path
Two Cannons From Dewey.

Admiral DeWey has sent and the Ma
tional Museum has received two can
mons which he captured from the Span
iards at Cavite, near Manila. In one
Of them two shells and a grape shot
were found, and the museum officials
are wondering whether or not it had
been loaded by the Spaniards during
the fight with Dewey and the gallant
admiral incautiously sent it homeward
an engine of destruction uoder certain
conditions. At any rate, there was a
small-sized panic at the museum when
the discovery was made. A gunner
from the navy yard was sent for and Il,
nally came. He brought the shells and
grape shot to light in ship-shape fash
ion. Both shells were Of the percus-
sion cap variety, but the caps were mis-
sing The powder, however, was in
them, although little moldy. The
museum people incline to the belief,
that; in spite Of the mold, the powder
would explode if subjected to fire. The
fact that pieces Of coal also were found
in the cannons led to the conclusion
that they were brought here in trans
ports coal bunker.

Formosa Head Hunters.

Formosa advices give details Of a ter
rible massacre in the vicinity Of Talkow;
China, town in the central district.
Thirty unarmed villagers were ambush
ed by about go savages, who killed 20
of them. Only one escaped. The
cause of the massacre is said to have
been a dispute between savage tribes
over the paternity Of an 'illegitimate
child and the death of its mother. The
reputed father Of the child denied the
charge and refused to make eompensa-
tion to the tribe to which the girl be-
longed. An appeal to head hunting
was the only way by which the injured
tribe could prove its righteousness to its
ancestors. After the massacre the say

heads Of the murdered villagers were

a Fatal Lasso Throw

The skill Of eleven year old Frank
Beaumont of Chester, Pa, throwing a
lasso resulted in his death Thursday
evening. Since Wild West shows ex.
hibited in the city recently the boys Of
Chester have been practicing with las
soes. Young Beaumont, tired OF lasso-
ing boys of his own age, looked for big
ger game. He stationed himself along
the Reading railroad, near his house,
No. 4l2 Front street, and prepared to
lasso the engineer Of freight train No:
56. The end of the lasso was tied
about his waist. As the engine came
swiftly up the grade, with whoop ne
sent the loop whistling through the air.
The engineer was leaning out OF the
cab window, unconscious of the boy at
the side of the track, and was startled
to suddenly find his arms pinioned to
his sides. The loop Of the lasso mad
fallen with great precision: and as the
train moved forward the rope was jerked
taut, rendering the engineer helpless:
The fireman was on the other side Of
cab and knew nothing Of the tragedy
being enacted. Young Beaumont
thrown off his feet when the jerk came,
and unable to unite the rope around his
waist, was dragged for square, the
roar Of the train drowning his shrieks.
He was finally drawn under the car
wheels. The engineer succeeded IN
freeing his arms and stopped the train,
but when the boy was picked up 1t was
found that he was dead. The wheels
had torn the scalp from his head and
mangled him terribly.

VETERANS AND SPONSORS.
Some Timely and Pertinent sugges-
tions About the Matter.

The Columbia State, in speaking Of
veterans who stopped over in that city
on their return from Charleston, has
the following paragraph:
'None Of them have fault to find
with anything connected with their re-
ception and entertainment in Charles
ton. But to man almost they ex-
press dissatisfaction with the growing
tendency manifested more and more
each year to devote the time OF The
veterans to the sponsors. They feel
that the social functions arranged at
the auditcriums in honor OF the spon-
sors are getting to monopolize the time
so much that the veterans themselves
are driven into the background and
have practically no time left for the
transaction of the business that should
receive attention. They believe in the
young people having good time, but
they have many years before them for
that, while in very few years more
the ranks of the e2-Confederates will
be so thinned that there will be but
few to gather on these occasions. "
\ veteran from Greenville, who is far
from being prejudiced against young
women, says that the solution Of this
matter lies in change Of the sponsors,
who should be elected by the veterans
camps from among the widows Of Con-
fedrate soldiers. He contends that
the widows Of their comrades would
more ftly represent the old soldiers,
and that they would give dignity to the
position, while in full and appreciative
sympathy with the occasion itself,
without being anxiously concerned as
to social functions and escorts and the
like. He thinks the Sons Of Veterans
should appoint the young ladies as
their sponsors and maids Of honor, and
that the Sons should have exclusive
charge Of balls and receptions during
the reunions as being more compatible
with their youth and position in socie-
ty. A sponsor is one who undertakes
to answer for another, and he believes
that the widows Of Confederate soldiers
can better speak for the survivors than
the younger generation who did not ex-
perience the hardships and pri7atlons
of the War-timeS.

The RaYisher Shot.

Theresa Thompson, who was dipping
turpentine with younger brother near
St. Stephens, Ala, Thursday, was as
saulted by negro named Tom Murphy.
The negro had pistol and threatened
the girl with death. 4 struggle ensued
and Murphy laid the pistol down in or
der to overpower her. The girl seized
the pistol and shot the negro twice.
An elder brother who was working at
some distance heard the shots and the
girls screams. The negro took the
pistol from the girl and fight ensued
between the white man and the negro,
the former armed with hacker used in
cutting turpentine. He slashed the
negro and the negro shot him. Both
fell and the negro crawled away short
distance and died. Thompson is re-
ported in a critical condition.

Fired by a Cigar Stump.

Mrs. J. L. Miller of Charleston, who
is in Augusta visiting friends, came
near meeting with serious accident IN
a most peculiar manner recently. Her
dress was ignited By cigar stump ~
ing on the sidewalk, and had it not been
for her great presence Of mind she
would probably have been seriously
burned. According to the Augusta
Herald, she was walking up Broad
street, when her dress came in contact
with burning cigar stump. She did
not notice that her dress was aire until
she reached the Planters Hotel, where
she is stopping, when she detected the
odor of burning cloth and discovered
that her dress was ablaze. She quick

CONDITION OF THE CROPS
The Weekly Summary Of the United
States Wkather Bureau.

Tie following is the weekly crop
bulletin Of the South Carolina section
of the climate and crop service Of the
United States Weather bureau issued
Wednesday by Director Bauer:
The week ending May 18th averaged
1 degrees per Cay warmer than usual,
with the maximum temperatures rang
ing from slightly below to considerably
above 80 degrees each day. and with
the minima correspondingly high.
The rainfall for the week was gen
orally very light; with moderately
heavy rains in the vicinity Of Charles
ton and over the Pee Dee region. The
ueed of rain is general, and the lack
of it has materially injured oats, and to
a lesser extent wheat and gardens.
Raiu is also needed to permit cotton
and corn planting to be completed, and
to sermiDate recently planted seeds.
Oats are failing rapidly, and spring
cats are already failure. This grain
is about all headed, and over the more
easterly counties Is ripeniDg. Wheat
has also deteriorated, but not to the
same extent as oats, and in places con-
tinues very promising.
Corn continues to maintain 4 healthy
color, and, with limited exceptions, has
a good stand; its general condition: for
the whole State, is very satisfactory:
In places it has received its second
working.
Cotton has come to from very
good to fair stands, except on red lands
where the g1ound is baked and hard
and seeds did uot germinate we'll. Cat-
tivation and chopping to stands IS gen
eral. The young plants are small but
healthy and vigorous.
Tobacco is in urgent need OF rain,
both to finish transplaating and to
maintain stands which, although gen.
orally good, are IN places very poor.
Melons have improved. Rice is ex-
cellent. Truck is making rapid
growth. Gardens are variable, accord
ing to moisture conditions. Berries
need rain. Apples and cherries are
dropping. Minor crops generally are
doing we'll.
Over1he greater portion Of the State
the weather was favorable for cultivat-
ing crops and for general farm work and
the staple cops, with the exception OF
oats, continue in very promising con-
dition.

Cannibals in Formosa.

The steamship Empress of India
brings news Of the ascent for the hrst
time Of Mount Morrison, the highest
mountain in Formosa, by Stoepel. the
explorer of the Pic Of Orizaba in Mexl-
co. Many previous attempts had fall
ed. Stoepel says the heat was terrific
and he narrowly escaped death from
wild animals and men. He found OF
the mountains strange tribe OF man
eaters, hitherto unknown. The people
are evidently Of Malayan origin. They
have never communicated with the
Chinese. They are skull hunters, and
cannibalism was actually witnessed BY
Stoepel, who saw the progress OF a
feast while hiding in the underbrush.
