general gets SO per cent. of the glory,
the brigadier general l IL per cent,
the colonel 1-S per cent. 4; other com
missioned officers get the balance,

Tragedy Near Greenvllle.

Tragedy Near GreehVihe'
Greenville correspondence Sunday
News: A tragedy occurred 10 miles
southeast of this city on Friday night,
10 which Lum Watson, a prominent
young farmer, was shot and mortally
wounded by J. F. Sloan, neighbor,
also farmer. Watson had been pay
ing attention to Sloan's daughter, a
bright, handsome girl. Watson has
made a dying declaration, stating that
Miss Sloan made an engagement with
him to meet her on Friday night. He
was to hang about the house and when
her father had retired she would put
out the light. He was to 60 to win
dow and tap three times to notify her
of his presence. At midnight the light
was extinguished, he went to the win.
dow and tapped and received load OF
buckshot in his breast. No reliable
particulars can be obtained, as no one
seems willing to talk but there are
rumors of worse conditions in the
whole transaction.
Who Pays the Bill?
Columbia correspondence of The
News and Courier: There seems to be
some hitch about the payment of the
expenses of the Crawford trial in Ker-
shaw county. After the trial the hold
ers of certificates went to the treasur-
er of Kershaw and tried to get pay,
but the money was not forthcoming,
until some understanding could be had
with the Richland authorities. The
Richland board of commissioners have
just gotten an opinion from their at
torney, Mr.. Patton, in which he states
that there is no law to compel the
payment of the claim, and that Rich
land county cannot, according to law,
be forced to make the payment. The
equity and practice has been for the
county to pay such expenses, but with
that he had nothing to do and his view
of this was not asked. This seems to
be very curious condition of the laws
of the state. In recent case against
Colleton county the supreme court or
dered the county, which declined to
pay such bill, to meet the bill; but
the direct question as to the liability
of the county was not decided. In
the Ike Kinard case, in the Broxton
Bridge cases and all recent cases, the
bills have been paid by neighboring
counties, no matter what the law
might have been.

OTIS RESPONSIBLE.
II He Needed Troops He Had Only to Ask
For Them.

II He Needed Troops He Had Only to Ask
For Them.
The situation in the Philippines was
discussed at the cabinet meeting last
Friday, says a Washington dispatch,
and general satisfaction was expressed
in the administration plans for the
reinforcement for General Otis, which
contemplate the re-opening of active
operations on larger scale when the
rainy season closes-September Is.
Secretary Alger reported that enlist
ments were coming up to expectations.
With view of differing the regiments
raised under the volunteer provisions
of the army bill, the records of the
volunteer organizations which saw
service in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and
which are now serving in the Philip
pines, are being carefully examined in
order that recognition may be given to
such of them as may desire to re-enter
or continue in the service, according
TO their ability and merit. Some of
the meritorious non-commissioned Of
fcers may also be recognized, and state
lines are to be ignored. Some regular
officers are also to be commissioned as
volunteer officers. Secretary Gage ex-
pressed the opinion to his colleagues
that the deficit for the fiscal year
would fall below $90,000,000.
One of the members of the cabinet,
speaking in connection with the CAM
paign in the Philippines, said tonight !:
"The president has given General Olis
to understand that he is to have all the
men necessary in the conduct of the
operations against the insurgents.
General Otis has been told this in
so many words, the president having
said to him in effect that if he (Olis)
did not have enough men it was his
own fault. The president also realizes
that the better the men are cared for
and their health preserved the more
capable they will be of doing effective
work, and before the rainy season be-
gan General Otis was instructed to pre-
pare for it and in various ways was
given to understand the presidents
desire that the soldiers should be well
cared for and we'll fed"

EXPANSION, OR
SPREADING OUT.

THE kind of expansion most people
l. have been thinking of lately has had
reference to national affairs. In fact,
Uncle Sam, for humanity's sake, put his
foot upon the Spaniard's neck in Cuba
and demanded satisfaction. Of course all
the Spaniard wanted was just to be let
alone; but he had the Cuban down, at
Uncle Sam demanded that he let the Gu
ban up and get off the island without de-
lay. Well, of course that that was right
but the fact is that Uncle Sans foot being
rather large, when it was put on Cuban
soil tranped upon that same Spaniard in
Porto Rico, and, very naturally, when the
Spaniard left Cuba he must leave Porto
Rico too. Now when Uncle Sam stepped
out with his left foot into the Atlantic, he
could not keep his balance without step
ping out correspondingly into the Pacific,
and being afraid that Hawaii would not
hold him up, he reached out little furth-
er toward the Eastern World and hap
pened to step upon the Philippines. There
be found that same Spaniard trying to do
these people the same way he had done
in Cuba. So Uncle Sam said to himself,
here's another place for humanitarian
work, 80 I'll send this trifling Spaniard to
his mothers house and-and-and-.
Well, this is pretty rich country, and |
believe rll take this myself, and 1t will
be better for the people anyway. They
may kick up about it little at first, be-
ing strangers to US but they will soon
learn to love US.
Well, I did not intend to 60 so much
into detail, as this is not the kind OF ex-
pansion meant to talk about.
The Kind of Expansion
am particularly speaking of, is that
which comes after particularly
Good Dinner.
One feels so large. In great hurry
hasn't time to take long breath-in fact
has hardly any breath at all-gasping and
groaning. Now this kind Of Expansion
is due TO indigestion, from FERMENTA-
TON of the food.
"Anti-Ferment" Cures
Expansion
Of this kind promptly. Assaults forts
and block houses, goes right to the seat
of war-destroys the germ. Makes no
mistakes; no failures; reports no casual
ties.
1t is equally powerful in Diarrhoea,
Dysentery, Collie, Cholera Morbus and
particularly in the Summer Complaints
of Teething Children.

the extreme dryness, they failed tc
accomplish anything. The fugitive is
a low country Negro, small statue and
about 1S years of age. Mr.. Springs is
liable for a penalty of $50 should the
convict not be captured and he offered
a reward of $25 through Mr.. ]. P

The darkey was in for five years for
theft and had only served three months
of his time.
The Fourth of July.
Yesterday was a quiet Fourth in
Yorkville. Quite q number of people
went over to Gafney on account OF
the celebration at that place, and as
there was no arrangement for local
amusement, the day was quite dull In
Yorkville. The postofice, telegraph
and express Offices observed holiday
hours, and except in the drug stores,
but little business was transacted.
The Teachers Association.
In another column Superintendent
of Education Carroll calls for meet
ing of the teachers of York county to
be held in the Graded School building
next Friday evening for the purpose of
organizing an association. There has
been a considerable demand, of late,
among the teachers for such an organi-
zation, and unless they were not in
earnest about the matter there ought
to be a full attendance at the prelimi-
nary meeting.
Burglary In Gastonia.
Gastonia correspondence Charlotte
Observer, June 80: This town has
been startled for the last two nights by
an unprecedented number of burglar
les committed within it's bounds. Last
night and night before there were to-
gether IA or Is houses entered. And
this morning about O'Clock a Negro
man was captured who had, as it ap-
pears, just emerged from Mr.. Frank
Rhymes house. He was traced in this
way. After having gone into the
house in the western part of the town
he was discovered and fed and soon
afterward entered the dwelling of Mrs.
Leroy Morrow. Mrs. Morrow, seeing
him and giving the alarm. Mr.. Stokes
Sholar and Mrs. Morrow's son inform
ed a policeman, and they went in
search of the burglar, and saw Negro
in front of Mr.. Rhymes barefooted,
with his shoes in his hand. They gave
chase and captured him. He had
been in the room where Miss Rhyme
and another lady were sleeping and
had awakened them. The shoes be-
longed to Mr.. Rhyme, and he had left
his own shoes under window of an
other dwelling he had entered, and
when they were brought to him iden-
titled them. He gave his name as
Lowry and formerly worked here with
Contractor Brown. He was tried and
committed to Jail.
