"One of the most formidable new
conditions of the war which we are
experiencing" writes Julian Ralph,
the South African correspondent of
the London Daily Mail, "is that we
never, or next to never, see the foe.
There are men in our army who have
never seen a Boer in battle. / know
of officers who have seen only one or
two in one battle and five or six in
another. Our men at their own
trenches upon the veldt have fired
hours at time at the noise or flame
from the enemy's. trenches; but they
could not see the trenches. At Mod
der river there were whole battalions
of ours that did not know at the end
of the day whether the enemy was
north or south of the river. A Euro
pean army, fighting under European
rules, is clumsy weapon against the
Boer, who opposes us with weapons
which render one man as good as ten
and all ten invisible. We remember
the old saying that an army moves
upon it's stomach. We paraphrase it.:
The modern army must fight upon
its stomach If the German army got
in a trench that could not be turned,
all the world could advance and be
slaughtered; but not all the world
could oust the Germans from that
trench.

TRAGEDY AT NEELY's FERRY.


$>Mr. Maxcy Fewell, a well-known
young man of Ebenezer township, lost
his life last Wednesday afternoon as
the result of shooting accident on
Catawba river. A charge of duck
shot struck him in the back of the
head, killing him instantly.
1t seems that Mr.. Fewell, accom-.
panied by Mr.. S. S. Robinson, had
gone to the river to fish. Both men
had guns with which to take such
shots as might be offered at ducks and
other game.
They were fishing from the island
which lies in the river just above
Neely's ferry, when they observed
two ducks floating down the centre OF
the eastern channel, one in advance of
the other. Mr.. Fewell proposed to
Mr.. Robinson that be would fire first at
the foremost duck and that Mr.. Rob-
inson would fire Immediately after
ward at the other. Mr.. Robinson as
sented to this arrangement.
Taking positions on their knees, the
two hunters waited for the ducks un-
til they were within range, and then
both took careful aim. MIR. Fewell

y We note that a number of promi'
nent gentlemen who supported Palmer
and Buckner in the last presidential
election, at least with the weight Of
their moral influence, are now express
ing their willingness TO join the Bryan
standard. They say that they admire
Mr.. B,yan's courageous stand on the
expansion aud trust questions, and
profess to believe that the silver issue
will no longer figure. We are glad te
see these people coming back into the
fold, especially under Mr.. Bryan; but
we think they are deceiving them
selves. We have not noted any change
in Mr.. Bryan on the financial question
and we do not think there will be any
change. If we thought him capable
of giving his adherence to the single
gold standard theory of finance, we
would feel inclined to do what the
Palmer and Buckner people did toul
years ago-stand from under.

volunteered Don't plant cotton until
the production of all manner Of needed

then plant all the cotton that can be

FARMERS AND FERTILIZERS.

Pursuant to the Greenwood call, the
farmers of number Of counties held
meetings on the first Monday in Feb
ruary 10 take steps on the fertilizer
question. The general sentiment
seems to have been against the pay
ment of more than 10 per cent. ad-
vance on last years prices. The fol-
lowing, adopted by the farmers of
Greenville county, may be taken as a
fair sample of the action of the differ
ent meetings.:
"Resolved, 1st. That it is the sense
of this meeting that we ought not to
give more than 10 per cent. advance on
last years prices for fertilizers.
"2d. That it is the sense of this body
that unless the price of fertilizers is
reduced to within the 10 per cent. ad-
vance of last years price, we will dis
courage the use of fertilizers to as large
an extent as possible.
"Sd. That we condemn the action of
the Virginia Chemical company in
forming fertilizer trust, thereby ar
bitrarily advancing the price of guano,
and We would urge our representatives
in the legislature to use every effort to
Investigate said trust and thwart the
Injustice done the state.
18th. That we give, as far as practi.
cable. preference to the fertilizers Of
the independent companies and avoid
purchasing the products of the trusts"

1t Will Replace the Philippine bill In
the Upper House.
Washington, Dec. 5.-The Republi.
can senatorial committee on order of
business decided that the ship subsidy
bill should displace the Spooner Philip
pines bill as the unfinished business. It
also decided that the Hay Pauncefote
treaty should receive alternate attention
with the shipping bill. The arrangement
proves that the shipping bill shall have
preference. but when no one appeared to
make speech on it the senate shall go
into executive session for the considera.
ton of the treaty and will be put in
force today.
The arrangement further provides
that if the army bill reaches the senate
prior to the disposal of the shipping bin
or the treaty. either or both of these
may be displaced temporarily in order
to permit the prompt consideration of
that measure. The same understanding
prevails regarding the appropriation
bills. Senator Morgan's Nicaraguan
canal bill will probably wait upon the
senate's action on the treaty.

NOW WITH CONGRESS-
Report of the ISthmian Canal Com
mission Handed in.
FAVORS NICARAGUA.
The Estimate Cost Is 5000, go, 900
and Includes New Plans-Mr.
Deliver Is Now Senator in
Place Of Senator Gear.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The report Of
ted by the president to congress gives as
1 a unanimous conclusion to that body
that 1.-THE most practicable and feasible
! route for an isthmian canal under the
control of the management of the Unit
ed States, is that known as the Nicara-
guam route" The commission esti-
mates the cost of this route is 5000, 640,-
600. This estimate is much in excess of
any heretofore considered. The COM
mission also estimates the cost of can
al by the Panama route at $l42. 342, 559
according to one route, or $3.50, 1873. 458
according to another route. After GO
ing over several routes, the commission
considered the dimensions of the canal
to be built.
Having in mind the increasing size Of
ocean going vessels it was determined to
fix upon the depth at 30 feet at mean
low water and bottom width $50 feet
with some increase of dimensions at GER
tain points. These dimensions are larg-
er than those proposed for any previous
canal scheme. While they may seem
excessive the commission points out the
canal is not likely to be opened within
10 years, during which time the increase
in maritime dimensions will likely COLI
tinue. A width of $50 feet will allow
all but the very largest ships to pass
each other in the canal, while locks are
of dimensions to permit even the largest
ship afoat to be Unanswered. The size
of the locks is 74O feet in length with
depth of 80 feet.
The senate committee on interoceanic
canals held meeting at the instance Of
the chairman, Senator Morgan, to con-
slider the status of the Nicaragua canal
bill.
The bill is special order in the senate
for next Monday, but there is desire
upon the part of the Republican mana
gers to have it postponed for time at
least, pending the consideration of the
subsidy shipping bill and the Hay
Pauncefote treaty.
Senator Hanna, who is especially in
terested in the shipping bill. sat with !
the committee presenting the views of
the Republican managers In relative |
to the claims of the various measures as |
to precedence in the matter of consider |
alton. The committee did not reach |
any definite conclusion.

Student at West Point Forced to Drink
COncOctiOn That Killed Him.
New York, Dec. 5.-A special to The
Herald from West Point says:
Authorities Of the United States mil.
itary academy acknowledge that Oscar
Booz, who lies dying at his home in
Bristol, Pa, was hazed and cadets OF
the first class admit that they forced
the young man to drink burning liquid
OF tomato catsup, worcestershire sauce
and cayenne pepper. The young man
was called out to 1.-The woods where,
refusing to meet fellow cadet in a
standup fight. he was branded coward
and subsequently forced to resign from
the academy. The authorities have
made an investigation, and have learned
of the episode. Colonel Mills, the super.
intendent of the academy, declares that
Booz was only put to the customary test
of manliness. He will not discipline the
cadets involved. Colonel Mills said:
'BOoz was not a favorite with hia
classmates and was not liked by the old
cadets. He had a quarrel with cadet
and was called out to a personal en-.
counter. He went outside the academy
to meet another cadet in fair fight, but
when the crucial moment came, am
told, he burst into tears. His attitude
was regarded as cowardly and unsol-
dierly.
