In the Sierra Mesilla. northeast of
Bayamo, the industrial population has
almos, entirely disappeared under the
terror of the freebooters, whose camp
fires can be seen smoking in the sum-
mit-gicns. and whose constant raids at
last ceased to leave the farmers liv-

forthcr south, is approached only by
cattle hunters with military escort:
travellers who have attcmptcdt the passes
of the old overland road have rarely re-
turned to tell the results OF the all but
inevitable encounter with the scouts of
the outlaws. The valley formed by
the west fork OF the Rio Verde, in the
Province of Puerto Principe, was long
dreaded as haunt of runaway slaves.
and these refugees have now been
joined by despcradoes numerous enough
to become savagely aggressive. Their
neiRhbors, too, have abandoned hun

hoped TO rcpny the toll of tillage. In
stress OF circumstances the outlaws exc

range of their marauding expeditions:
and last winter one of their restless
leaders was caught and hanged by a
posse OF exaspcratcd ranchcros. on the

= The New York Herald, of last Sat

- The New York Herald, of last Sat.
urday, contained a cablegram from
Trieste, in which it was stated that
Admiral Dewey had, in a converse
tion, given expression to the opinion
that the next war of the United States
would be with Germany. Naturally
such a statement created a sensation
throughout this country. Next day
an Associated Press correspondent
called on Admiral Dewey to know
whether or not he had been correctly
reported. "Long ago." he replied" !"
1--WE gave up denying or affirming
newspaper reports" In its issue of
Monday, The Herald says that the
correspondent who sent the statement
was DR.. Halstead Boyland, who from
time to time sends important news to
The Herald. The Herald goes on to
say that it has no idea that Admiral
Dewey knew at the time he made the
statement that he would be quoted. 1t
regrets very much, both on account of
Admiral Dewey and itself, that such a
statement was printed but neverthe-
less repeats that Admiral Dewey GER
tainly made the statement.

if the state will defend an action
against the county treasurer and stand
between the county officials and all
costs for amounts claimed by parties
as due for school charts, if the county
treasurer refuses to pay the same.
This is local matter, to be settled
between the interested parties. The
state is not and cannot be made d.
rect party to such an action. The
revenues of the state are not involved.
Such an action does not come within
the duties of this Office as prescribed
by statute. This Office has given an
opinion as to the liability of certain
class of school chart claims at the re.
quest of proper officials but the state
cannot any more stand responsible fol-
the refusal of county treasurer to
pay claim of this nature than any
other kind of claim. If a treasurer
pays an illegal claim his bond is res
ponsible. To this the public looks fol
protection. Respectfully,

- Senator McLaurin has agreed to
head delegation from Florence ask.
ing for the removal of Rev. Joshua E.
Wilson, the Negro who was recently
appointed postmaster at that place.
He has previously served as postmas-
ter for Florence; but that was before
the town became an important railroad
centre with white population largely
in excess of the black population.
The people of Florence are very much
stirred up over the appointment of the
Negro, and there has been no little
talk of violence. Although Senator
McLaurin is understood to have con-
siderable influence with the president,
there is not much reason to hope that
Wilson will be removed. The ques-
ton involves the race issue, pure and
simple, and the Negroes of the entire
country have their attention fixed on
this special case. Under such circum-
stances no Republican president would
hardly dare take the action desired.

COUNTY POLITICS.

Although an off year in politics, so
far as the public is concerned, still
there are great many people who are
looking forward with keen interest
to the filling of the respective Offices
next year. People will think and
talk. Sometimes they are right and
sometimes wrong; but whether right
or wrong, they always derive more or
less pleasure from speculation over
possibilities.
Of all the talk the reporter has
heard, but little of it applies to the
probable membership of the next
house. There are many individuals,
of course, who would like to 60 to the
house but as rule they do not be-
gin their calculations until after the
first county convention of an election
year.
But next year there will be at least
one vacancy to fill in the house, proba'
bly, more. For instance, Mr.. Mellow
does not calculate on being a candi'
date again. 1t is pretty we'll under
stood that he intends to make a pass
at Mr.. Henry for the solicitorship, and
that he will leave his position in the
house to be filled by someone else.
The outlook is that there will be
quite bunch of candidates for Loves
place in the senate. The reporter
knows of nothing definite yet; but
the people are talking. 1t was sug-
gested a few days ago by a man who
is we'll informed in such matters, that
two Yorkville lawyers would probably
be in the race, and a good many peo'
ple believe that at least one of the
present members of the house will try
for the advancement of his political
fortunes.
There are always lots of people who
would gladly take the office of the
clerk of the court. There are several
now who want that position. MIR.
Wylie, of course, is not going to give
up unless majority of the voters say
so, and at least two gentlemen who
have been time and again before the
people are calculating on trying this
Office round next summer.
Longing eyes are also being directed
toward the sheriff's Office. Having
only had one term, Sheriff Logan
naturally wants another, and will, Of
course, be a candidate for reelection.

The Ahbeville Press and Bann

- The Abbeville Press and Banner
thinks with THE ENQUIRER that the
newspaper shop talk business should
cease. We do not think that such
talk has done any harm or that it can
do any harm. We only think that it
is useless. Because man is publish.
ing newspaper, is no reason why the
public should empty the horn of plenty
in his lap. There are many newspa-
per which have no legitimate excuse
for existence. There are many which
exist only because they happen to be
the best in sight; not because they
are especially worthy of existence.
There are some that exist on their
merits-making themselves indispen-
sable to the public-and there are 9TH
ers that exist for the furtherance of the
private views and ends of individuals.
None of them, of any kind, are apt to
get any more respect or support from
the disinterested, discriminating public
than they are entitled to, and those
which do not get all the support and
respect to which they are entitled
have only themselves to blame. So
there is no sense in anybody putting
up a poor mouth about the matter, or
in trying to persuade the public that it
should pay for that which is other
wise gladly furnished free gratis.

OUT AT THE COTTON MILL.

The York Cotton mills resumed
operations last Thursday after stop
page of two weeks, which interval wa:
used by the management in the plac
ing of new machinery and in the max
ing of the necessary adjustments.
About all the old force, along with
quite number of new operatives
between 125 and 150-has gotten tc
work again and within FIVE or six
weeks more, the entire plant, consist
ing of 10000 spindles operated by
some $50 people, will be humming
night and day. This, of course, is
barring accidents or other unforeseen
causes of delay.
To the little village of seventeen
houses that has all along been occupy
ing the factory grounds, thirty.three
new houses are now being added
and when they are completed the set
tlement will include an even half hun
dred homes.
This is not all either. For some
time past the management has hao
under consideration the idea of build
ing union chapel in which religion:
worship might be conducted. Tht
plans have at last been decided upor
and the order for the necessary ma
terial went forward last Monday
The building is to be 80 by 60 feet anc
will be located in pretty little grove
about 200 yards to the south of the
main building.
In the chapel, during week days
present plans contemplate the main
tainance of a frst-class school. The
mill management, of course, will ask
for an equitable share of the county
school fund, and will probably make
up the balance of the money that may
be necessary from the funds of the
corporation.

WASHINGTON IN A PANIC.
People Fear a Quarantine on Account o
Yellow Fever.

People Fear a Quarantine on Account OF
Yellow Fever.
Correspondence Atlanta Journal, Monday.
The yellow fever outbreak at the
Soldiers Home at Hampton has
caused great anxiety in Washington,
because, when it became known that
the scourge was in reality existing in
the Soldiers Home, the summer guests
at the hotels at Old Point Immediately
packed up their things and took the
boats and trains for Washington and
Baltimore. There is fear that in this
way the disease may be brought to the
capital, and that a quarantine may be
instituted in Washington. Certainly
large number of persons who were at
Old Point yesterday left there last
night. Many of them coming to Wash
ington but others got to their homes.
While there may be no danger from
those refugees, yet the fact that yellow
fever has been existing at the Soldiers
Home for several days and not detect
ed, and excursionists and visitors have
been visiting the home since the yel-
low fever appeared, there is a possibil-
| ity that the disease may be carried by
the people leaving Old Point now.
The officials in Washington have al
ready started to work to combat the
disease, and there have been numerous
conferences in the matter at both the
war and navy departments. Secretary
Alger, together with assistant Secreta'
ry MeikeIohn and General Corbin, as
we'll as Surgeon General Sternberg,
have been together good deal today.
1t was decided that the garrison at
Fortress Monroe should come to Ft.
Meyer post, leaving only 20 men and
an officer at Fort Monroe.
DR.. Sternberg, together with DIR.
Widman, surgeon general of the ma
rine hospital service, will leave this
afternoon for the Soldiers Home at
Hampton to take charge of the place,
and prevent the spread of the scourge,
if possible.
Every precaution will be taken to
guard Washington, and all suspicious
cases will be reported and quarantined.
Some people in Washington fear that
the capital will be quarantined and
are making hasty preparations to leave
today, and great satisfaction is ex-
pressed that the president is out of the
city at this time. Secretary and Mrs.
Long left for Massachusetts this morn
ing, and Secretary Hay will leave this
afternoon, going to New England to
