MYSTERIOUS CASE.
Opening Chapters Laid During
Civil War-A Letter.

The postmaster here has re
ceived a letter from man in
Henderson county, N. c., which
brings up a rather peculiar case.
This man writes: "In the year
1865, or 1865 or 1867 there came
two young men to this county
from about Columbia, S. @.
do not know the names of these
two young men. In 1866 or 1867
an inquiry went the rounds of
the newspapers asking if any one
could tell what had become of
those men. l don't think it was
answered. The men came here
riding good horses and were we'll
fixed; they brought large amount
Of hard money with them-sev
eral thousand dollars.
"My understanding was that
they came here to get out of the
way of the soldiers and to save
the money. If you can find the
relatives or friends of those two
men, l can tell what became of
them they may have brothers
or sisters who would like to know.
| would have written long ago
but was afraid to write, and it
may not be safe now"
The mans letter is somewhat
longer, but the above is all that
is essential. If any one IN Col
umbia has any recollection of the
case or can throw any light upon
the mystery, The State can fur.
nish the address of the writer of
the letter upon application to the
local department-The State.

DEWEY FOR PRESIDENT.
Some People Seem to Think He
ia Still a Possibility

iadelphia Public Ledger.
New York, March 9-The Her
aid published today the following
from its Washington correspon-
dent:
Admiral Dewey is still a presi.
dental possibility in the opinion
of some of his close personal
friends in Washington. Though
the admiral announced several
months ago that he would not
under any circumstances be a
candidate for the presidency, his
friends in Washington believe
that since his marriage he has
changed his views, and that, if
the nomination were to come un
solicited, he would accept it.
Mrs. Dewey is credited with
possessing ambitious asperations
for her husband, and to have
brought about this change in the
admiral's views. Color is lent to
this suggestion that the admiral
would not be averse to becomin G
candidate for the presidency by
the engagements he has made ,
involving the tours of different
sections of the country within the
next few months, when the pres.
dental fever will be at its height.
Supporters of President Nc .
Kinley profess to believe, how
ever, that even if the admiral
were to develop into an active
candidate for the presidential
nomination he would now be un.
able to get it. 1t is pointed out
that the election of the delegates
to the Philadelphia convention is
in progress, and that many of
them be instructed to voted for
Mckinley. The McKinleyites also
claim that the machine is in good
working order, and that even sup
posing Dewey will announce his
candidacy, he would be unable
to prevent Mr.. Mckinley from
receiving the nomination.
Admiral and Mrs. Dewey ex
pect to return to Washington the
coming Tuesday. They will then
make arrangements for quite a
lengthy stay in the south, going
directly to Palm Beach, various
points of interest in Georgia, the
Carolinas, and, perhaps, to Nash
vile. On May l they will visit
Chicago and a number of large
cities.
