Uncle Sam Owes South Carolina.

Washington correspondence of The
News and Courier, Friday: Mr.. CAN'T,
of Columbia, passed through Washing,
ton today on his way to New York.
He stopped over long enough to con-
fer with Senator Tillman relative to
the South Carolina war claims, which
Senator Tillman is working so hard to
have adjusted. Mr.. CAN'T brought
with him several documents containing
data bearing upon his claims, which
will be utilized by Senator Tillman
when the bill comes before the senate
for action. Senator Tillman has made
it clear to the treasury officials that in
striking balance between the govern
ment of the United States and the state
of South Carolina, the records show a
balance in favor South Carolina. In
view of the fact that the accounting Of
fcer of the treasury expressed desire
for South Carolina to settle her indebt-
edness to the United States, Senator
Tillman contends that now is the
proper time to have general settle
ment of these claims, and there is a
substantial balance due South Carolina
and large and growing surplus in the
United States treasury, and it IS but
lust that an official settlement should
be reached.

- Cecil Rhodes was the most popu-
lar man in England when he went
there for trial on account of his con-
nection with the Jameson raid but it
is not that way now. Since his recent
arrival, Mr.. Rhodes has been as quiet
as possible. This is on account Of the
well-kuown fact that public sentiment
is strongly against him. Although,
now that they are in it, Englishmen
are not inclined to stop the war until
the job is completed, there is no doubt
of the fact that they have already
gotten much more than they bargained
for, and they are very generally OF
opinion that Rhodes is responsible for
the whole trouble. He is blamed not
only for bringing the war on; but for
having deceived the British govern
ment as to the extent of the undertak-
ing. 1t is said that Rhodes is feeling
keenly the force of this sentiment
against himself, and complains that he
is receiving no credit whatever for his
effort in saving Kimberly from the
Beers. He holds that had it not been
for his success in keeping up the spir-
it of the troops and people by feeding
the town at his own expense, the Beers
would have certainly been successful !;
but still the people are not inclined to
recollect anything in connection with
the matter except that he expressed
his mind little to freely to the mill
tary authorities.

THE CASE OF COLONFI. NEAL.
Trial Commenced In Columbia on Mon
day.

day.
The case against Colonel Neal, the
ex.superintendent of the penitentiary
charged with malfeasance in office, was
called on Monday, says Columbia
dispatch to the Greenv;le News. MIR.
Boggs moved for change of venue,
and aflidavits, which have already
been published, were read. The mo-
ton was argued by Mr.. Boggs and op-
posed by Attorney General BelIinger
and Acting Solicitor McMaster. After
full presentation, Judge Benet held
that all of the af1idavts submitted in
favor Of Col. Neal were fatally defect
i've in that the makers of them said they
had received "information" which led
them to believe that Colonel Neal could
not secure fair trial. Judge Benet
said that this was not sufficient in that
it gave the court no grounds or facts
upon which to judge the matter. He,
therefore, dismissed from consideration
all afiidavits except that of Colonel
Nea! himself. He said that Colonel
Neal declared that he could not get
fair trial but that he did not state
sufficient grounds for his belief. No
court, he said, would entertain a mo-
ton for change of venue unless suf-
ticient grounds were stated, and Col.
onel Neal only expresses his belief that
he will not have Il fair trial in Rich
land.
Jurors, the judge continued, could
be placed on their voir dire, which
would be protection, and if the ver-
dict was not warranted by the testi-
mony he would set it aside; but he an

BRITISH AND BOERS.
Lord Roberts Still at Bloemfontein and
Quite Busy.

Lord Roberts Still at Bloemfontein and
Quite Busy.
According to the dispatches Of the
past few days, the situation Is assum
ing a very different complexion from
that which obtained for some days at
ter the capture of Cronje's army ano
the raising Of the siege of Ladysmlth
The heavy loss sustained by the Brit
ish near Bloemfontein waterworks re-
Gently has already been reported, and
last Saturday Lord Roberts sent dis
patch announcing the capture near Red
dersburg, about 20 miles south of Bloem
fontein, of three companies of Royal
Irish Fusiliers and two companies OF
the Ninth regiment of mounted in
fantry. He said that the Buers, sew
eral thousand strong, with five or Blk
pieces of artillery, surrounded his
troops and overpowered them. The
prisoners taken here and those pre-
viously taken at the Bloemfontein
waterworks number nearly 1000.
There has been no definite state.
ment of the number of men Lord Rob
erts now has with him in and around
Bloemfontein but it is thought to be
not less than 100000. He, however,
is still short of horses, and is unable
to operate with the swftness that is
necessary to cope with the active Boer
forces. The British have thousands oi
mules and horses en- route to South
Africa. Many have already been
landed but they are not reaching the
front at a rate of more than hundred
day, and that is nothing like suffi'
cient even to meet the death rate OF
those already there.
From various estimates it is thought
that the Beers now have about 20, ,OOC
men around Bloemfontein. They are
north, south, east and west of the
town; but of course are not thinking
of an attempt to lay siege. They are
confning their efforts to the annoy
ance of small detachments of the Brit
ish, and the way they are succeeding
not only attests their wonderful mobil'
ity; but it also indicates that their
present leaders, whoever they be, are
well up to their business.
Dispatches published Monday indi'
cate that Lord Roberts has either
drawn the lines still tighter on the
censorship, or that the Beers have sue
ceeded in cutting all the telegraph
wires leading out of Bloemfontein.
The latter development seems to be
entirely probable, and there is reason
to believe too, that the Beers may sue
ceed in effectually cutting Roberts
line of communication to the south.
In this event the British will be in a
bad way, for it is understood that sew
eral thousand Free Staters who had
given up their rifles, have been re-
armed and assured that the oaths they
took not to further participate in the
war, are not binding for the reason
that they were given under compul-
sion.
In his dispatch, telling of the Red
dersberg affair, Lord Roberts said he
had sent General Gatacre to the scene
with strong force but as yet, it has
not developed whether General Cat
acre licked the Beers or the Beers
licked him. General Butler is still in
Natal, with large force of Beers con-
fronting him at no great distance
away, and it is stated that he is in no
hurry to move forward until he gets
more mules and horses.

- Our Texas friends in the valleys
of the Colorado and Brazos are cer'
tainly meeting with hard luck ; but
fortunately it is not too late for them
to seed again. However much our
people in this section would like to see
another short cotton crop, they do not
want TO see it reduced in such disas-
trous manner as is threatened in
Texas.

The above actual figures show ship
ments of $3.50 tons of Seed The fig.
ures do not include the shipments over
the South Carolina and Georgia Ex-
tension from Rock Hill, the shipments
from Roddey's, Catawba Junction or
Harmony. 1t is quite probable that
there has been other shipments that
have not been included, in the aggre'
gate footing up a thousand or more
tons. When it is remembered, how
ever, that the cottonseed crop was un-
usually short last year, there is war
rant to add at least 20 per cent. to the
figures given without danger of over
estimating the average annual ship
ments.
