COL. NEAL APPEARS
BEFORE THE COURT.
BROUGHT FROM THE UP.COUNTRY BY
CONSTABLE ROACH.
Preliminary Henring-Spent tho Night at
tho Hotel jerome III the Constnble'S
Custndy- Other Charges LiIecIy.
(The State, 3Oth.)

Last night Constable j. j. Roach
of Magistrate Smiths court, who WAS
sent to tho country to arrest Col.
". A. Neal, former superintendent
of the State pcnitcn,iary, and bring
him here, returned to tho city with
Col. Neal in bis custody. Col. Neal
was arrested on the warrant sworn
out by Attorney General Bellinger,
charging him with failure to turn
over public funds to his SUCCESSOR
1t is understood that there will be
other warrants in the matter before
many more days.
Col. Neal was away from home,
up at Pickens. Constable Roach
went to Pickons alter him and served
the warrant and Col. Neal came with
him without complaint. Ho was not
expecting arrest and had no oppor-
tunity Of communicating with his at
torneys or Of securing bondsmen in
advance of his arrival. On arriving
in Columbia Col. Neal was at once
taken to Magistrate Smiths Office
The magistrate was thore awaiting
his coming. Attorn'y y General Bel
linger was at home. Col. Neal asked
timo to secure Col. p. II. Nelson to
represent him, and Col. Nelson was
sent for. When ho arrived he COM
municated with Mr.. Bcllinger, and
obtained his consent to allow COL
Neal to spend the night at the hotel
in the custody Of tho constable, if
the magistrate would allow it. This
was done on account Of the lateness
Of tho hour and the impossibility Of
securing the bond under several
hours. Accordingly it was agreed
that the preliminary hearing should
take place at 10 o'clock this morning,
thus giving Col. Neal time to arrange
for his bondsmcn. Col. Neal spent
the night at tho Hotel Jerome with
Constable Roach.
Neither Col. Neal nor his counsel
had anything to say save that they
expected to waive preliminary OK.
animation upon any charges that
might be preferred, and give what
ever bond was demanded for the OK
superintendents appearance at the
next term Of the court Of general

Col. Neal was somewhat woarled
last night by his long trip on the
train, but otherwise seemed in good
health and spirits.

rho Remarkable Career OF tho KIchar,lsoua
Of South Carolina,
(Now York Suu.)

Columbia, August 2G.-Tho record
Of Governors furnished by tho Rich
ardson family of South Carolina
probably surpnsscs that Of any fami-
ly in a"y State. Tho facts arc ro-
called by tho recent death of John
potor Richardson, tho last Governor
Of tho sold regime" lIo was a
nophow Of Elizabeth poyre Manning,
noe Richardson, tho only woman who
was The wife Of Il Governor, the sis
tor Of Governor, the ncice Of q
Governor, tho mother OF Il Governor
and tho aunt and fostor-mothor of a
Governor. She WAS also tho first
cousin Of hor husband, Governor
Richard |. Manning.
Gen. James b. Richardson, tho
ifTand(uthor, was Governor from 1902
TO 1901; John rotor Richardson, tho
father, from 1910 to 1912, and John
Peter Richardson, tho son, from 1886
to 1890. Con. Richardson was also
grandfather Of Richard l. Manning,
Governor, 1852 81. And if thoro
IS such Il thing az being anccstorin-
law, there arc two moro Governors
to be added to his family troo both
lllnstricus-Gcorgo McDuflio and
Wado Hampton. McDuilic married
great granddaughter of Con. Rich
ardson, while Governor Hampton's
second wife, McDullios daughter,
was gront great granddaughtor
Thcro is Il coincidence in that the
lnto Governor John Potor Richard-
son and his father bore tho same
name, were Governors of the same
State and both succeeded Governors
who were not elected to that office.

WOULD BE GOOD FOR NEWBEKKY.
Let Funds be Raised to Oncr IN Premium,
for tho Best Yield OF Wheat
(Nows and Courier, Aug. 2Dth.)

(Ncws and Courier, Aug 29th)
"A movement is on foot" says The
Green villo Mountuincrr, "lo offer a
number Of premiums to the wheat
growers Of GroonviIlc County for tho
crop next year Tho proposition Is
that tho merchants and business men
Of this city shall raiso fund to be
divided into premiums, which will be
offered for tho best yield Of wheat on
thrcc, five, ton, fifteen, twcnty, twcn-
ty-iivo and SO on up to fifty acres,
and il is proposed to rniso not loss
than $500 for this purpose and pos -
sibly 5000. Tho details Of tho OF
for will be mado known Mt All car.
ly day. This plan is intended to
stimulate whoat growing at once,
and thcro is no doubt rs to tho
beneficial effects upon our farming
interests. Tho Mountain City Mill
alone has bought $4,000 worth of
wheat from abroad in tho last few
weeks, and this money can lust us
easily be kept at home if tho farm
ers in this county will raso the
wheat to kocp tho mills supplied.
a thousand farmers competing for
these premiums would make Il vast
dlilorcnco in the circulating mcdi-
um next summer" If the "mOvc-
mcnt' were extended throughout
the State we should be able to sell
flour hereafter instead Of buying it.
Tho fact that ono mill in GrconviIlc
has been compelled to buy $4,000
worth Of wheat "from abroad" i'm q
few weeks is Il suggestive one. 1t
suggests that thoro is q great deal of
room yot for "oxpansion' in this crop,
even in the old wheat growing dis
trict, after all the progress that has
beoE. mado in the past yonr or two.

THE GERMANS ALL AGAINST MILITARlSM

The Germans i'm Canton, Ohio. have
held meeting and denounced the Anglo
American Alliance. and condemned the
Philippine war The Germans are solid
on that platform. Mckinley has al
ready made an alliance with Great Brit
ain in everything except name. Before
the election Of 1900 rolls around, Nc
Kinley will give John Bull the wink and
there will lee an official decla-
ration that mckinley has re-
iected England's overturcs for an
tnglo-American Alliance That will.
50 Mckinley thinks, get the German
vote. After the election. if Mckinney
wins, the alliance will be cemented. and
the Germans like the civil service re-
formers and gold Democrats will wake
up TO find that they were buncoed.
Many of the German voters III Ameri-
ca left their homes to avoid the evils of
nlili;arism that curses all Europe. They
know what il means. and they know
equally rs well that there can ne no Ior-
egn colonies without "a big standing
army. and that the Philippine war means
nilitarism Of the old world type. They
did not leave German militarism To jump
into the arms Of American imperialism,
and in 1900 tens of thousands of Ger
mans and men of other nationalltles
who voted for Mckinley in 1896. will
vote for Bryan as the only way to pre-
vent the introduction here of the stand
ing army menace that drove them from
the old world.

THE SQUARE AND ROUND COTTON BALE,

A correspondent asks IF it is true that
the firm OF Alexander Sprunt n Sons.
the big cotton buyers of Wilmington.
have expressed an opinion on the rcla-
tive merits of the round and square cot
tom bales, and if so what their opinion
is We published extracts from Il let
ter written by the Messrs. Sprunt some
time ago. and to give our correspondent
the information desired we reprint 1t
below:
..Our attention has been drawn to-
day. for the first time. to Mr.. Scarles'
letter in your paper. dated New York.
April II. The statement made by us.
to which he refers. was writer's to one
of our correspondents or agents, and
was not intended for publication. We
do not desire a newspaper controversy
as to the comparative merits of the so
called round bale, and the standard IN
II square. rectangular bale. Since we
have been quoted publicly. however, We
wish YOU to state that our information
came from Il cotton merchant OF the
highest character in Liverpool. Mr.. John
Nj ~. tAltilVid StlNN'. 'ii''' ~
cylindrical bale had been sold over the
counter in Liverpool at less price than
the standard square bale. 24x'4.
I'VE may add that we have since
received information from several Com
tinental correspondents to the same Of
feet with reference to Bremen sales. We
know nothing of the terms under which
these sales were executed: we simply
made the statement as it came 10 US
from responsible people.
"As to our claim that we can put
more weight of the compressed ast;thd-
ard square bale. 24x54. into a ship 10

bic to put in round bales. we are will
ing to test it in our next steamer for

A RICH MANS PROJECT.

n rich mans statement that he in
tends to devote almost his entire for
tune to charitable works has aroused
mucn discussion. This is because it will
accomplish much good. Ii is a praise
worthy endeayor, but there are many
other agencies which accomplish just rs
much good. Take llostgtter's Stomach
Ritters for instance--the great Ameri-
can remedy. For fifty years it has cured
constipation, dyspepsia and all the i'll,
which arise from weak digestion This
medicine will keep the stomach in good
shape and the bowels regular. 1t is Il
wonderful restorative tonic and health
builder. II is also Il preventive for

and insist upon having it. See that Il

it works out its own destination; Ill other
words. | believe we should treat the
Filipinos as we have promised to treat
the Cubans. and as we have treated the
people Of Mexico and the people Of South
and Central America Monarchies are
founded upon force. but republics are
founded upon consent.
"rhe declaration Of independence as
sertS that governments derive Their Just
powers from the consent of the governed.
If the declaration is sound. we cannot
rightfulIy acquire title by conquest or by
purchase from an alien monarch, whose
title we disputed when we furnished
arms to the Filipnos.
IF the administration had given to the
Filipinos the assurance of independence
which was given to the Cubans there
would have been no bloodshed. If that
assurance is given now hostilitieS will
cease. No one proposes to withdraw the
soldiers until stable government is eS-
tablishcd but it will be easy to establish
n stable government when il is known
that our occupation Of the Philippine
Islands is only temporary.
"Forcible annexation would be crimi-
nal and contrary to our code of morality.
