What Wade Hampton Thinks.

A correspondent of the Spartanburg
Journal met Gen. Hampton in that city
on his way to the mountains and re-
ports an interesting conversation with
the old hero, in which he made it very
plain that he is very far from sympa-
thizing with the McLaurinites. He is
just an ordinary, everyday democrtat:
without any frills or furbelows, and
is content to remain inside the party
which he has served with ability and
fidelity in the past. The position of
Hampton is a stinging rebuke to the
modern lights who have discovered
the pathway to the Republican party,
for which they are now heading with
unerring certainty:
I had short chat with Gen. Wade
Hampton at the Southern depot yester-
day afternoon as he passed through the
city from Columbia on his way to the
mountains of North Carolina where
he intends to spend the remainder Of
the summer. This gand old statesman,
who has done more for South Caro-
lima than any other man alive today,
was in the best of health and spirits.
One of the Generals chiefest charms
is his readiness to talk about any
thing that concerns himself or the
State in which he has made such
glorious record. 9'This is CONNER
cial Democratic town. I believe" re-
marked General Hampton with smile
when the subject of politics was
broached. When assured that such
was not altogether the case, he assum-
ed more serious attitude and speak
ing slowly and earnestly said further:
"No, I think McLaurin will not be
elected again. He has deserted all the
vital principals that have been lncor-
porated in every Democratic platform
since the formation of the party, and
I venture the assertion that not Dem
ocrtic Senator at Washington will say
that McLaurin is justified in styling
himself Democrat. If were in poll
tics would not give him my support.
You see have always voted the Demo
cratic ticket, and after having worked
so many years in the interest of that
party it would not become me at this
Stage of life, dc you think, to trans
form myself into Republican. | am
now on my way to my summer home
at Sapphire, n. c., where I hope to
regain some lost strength occasioned
BY an attack of grip two weeks ago.
The people back in South Carolina can
have barbecues and speakings and con-
ventions to their hearts content. As
to myself, am going to pleasant spot
up in the Blue Ridge mountains and
devote the next two months to keep
ing cool and being happy

Alabama Adopts Grandfather suf-
frage.

Montgomery, Ala, July 3o.-The
constitutional convention today ADOPT
ed section 4 of the suffrage articles
which includes the grandfather
clause and otter qualifications for
the eie: :torate, but not until Mr.. Lowe,
of Jefferson, who is the chairman OF
the State Democratic committee had
made q sensational speech denouncing
TIE -UI.a.s scheme The amendment
OF former Gov. Oates to exclude de-
-serters and sons of ceserters from
the Sseneits of the grandfather clause
was sader consideration when Nj.
Lowe arising to a point of personal
nrsy;leee began to repudiate the charge
Fhat he had assailed the black belt
counties of Alabama. He declared
1hat he stood with Senators Pettus
and Morgan against the suffrage plan
ard ts;:t no delegate of the conven,
Yion. not even the president, could
occuDy the seats of these two dlstln-
sTr;s5el Alabamians He stated dell
Seratelv that it was plainly evident
9hat the purpose of the committee was
10 perpetuate fraud in Alabama,
notwithstanding the chairman OF the
committee, Judge Coleman, had worn
the a-nine of the State.
Hs said the people Of the State are
-n omen reyole against the plan OF Ine
majority and reminded the malorisy o. o.
the convention that it would neeo tne
delegates ia the minority.

The Chinese Indemnity.

Washington. July 29.-Dispatches
received bv cable from Mr.. Rockhill,
the United States special commission
er at Pekin, set out some of the de-
tails OF the financial arrangement re-
specting the indemnity not heretofore
disclosed. He reports that the inter
est on the indemnity began to run on
the 1st of July of this year and the
payments will become due semi-an-
nually, the first to be met January lst
next. China will be allowed three
wears before making the first pay
ment on account of the principal of
the indemnity. The moneys. both
on account of principal and interest,
will be received by financial commit
tee located at Shanghai to be known
as the committee of encashment. "
This will be composed of the heads of
foreign banks at Shanghai, selected
bv the governments interested IN the
payments. The committee is to dis
tribute the funds turned in by the
Chinese government among the various
powers in proportion to the interest
payments due them.
The diplomatic corps at Pekin favor
the immediate application of the new
tariff. the effect of which will be TO
abolish the free list except as to
cereals. Mr.. Rockhill has been IN
structed by the state department to
urge the exemption from the new
rates OF cargoes now ahoat. He is
also to try to secure postponement OF
the application of the tariff until i'm
porters have had an opportunity to
complete contracts

HINTS TO FARMERS.

Aberdeen Miss. Examiner: eff
you think it possible that you will
have to buy corn next year, that is the
strongest of all arguments in favor
of saving every ton of hay that you
can. for the hay will almost certainly
bring you $40 ton, and the price of a
ton of it will pay for ten bushels of
corn at 81, or six and two-thirds bush
els at 81. so or more than two barrels
of -four, thus easily solving to a large
extent the bread question for q small
family. We believe that there will
be few farmers IN this county who will
not make corn to do them, but have
little doubts as to rain and sun enough
to make full hay crop"
Granade Sentinel: cit is the re-
sourceful and wise farmer who ceases
to mourn the loss of his corn crop and
turns his affections to COW peas.
The East Mississippi Times advises
all farmers to plant cow peas, if we
get rain this month, to make up for
the short corn crop. We need to learn
that corn is an expensive crop at best.
Peas, millet, potatoes, sorghum, ETC.,
can be raised with half the expense of
corn, and will do better in feeding
stock. The Mississippi farmer is
bound to his idols: it seems that we
will have to let him alone but we
would be glad if be could be sufficient
ly awakened to the fact that ours is
not corn state: very small proper
ton of our lands are suitable for it.
But we can raise COW or hog as
cheap as in any section of the country
if we go into grazing and the planting
of small grain and root crops. We can
also make cotton. A crazy negro with
a one-eyed mule, can make it, because
the plant is adapted to our section"

manded the keys from Jailer Duke,
proceeded to the cells of the unfortu-
nate negroes, bound them by the neck
and hands and carried them to the cor
porate limits of the town, where they
hung them to tree by the public
roadside and riddled their bodies with
bullets
The mob resisted the earnest appeals
of Judge ". F. Stephens and Hon.
W. S. Hill, who stood on the steps of
the Jail and appealed to the mob in the
name of law and order. They even fol-
lowed the mob to the cell doors with
their arms round the necks OF the
leaders, pleading to let the law take
it's course, but with no effect.
Ida McCray confessed to the knowl-
edge of the murder, and stated that
her mother Betsie and brother Belield
helped commit the murder. She fur
ther implicated others who will proba
bly meet a like fate. Betsie McCray
refused to make any statement.

Wood Says Cuba is Garden Spot.

New York. July 3l.-Gen. Leonard
Wood, military governor OF Cuba, who
is now on board the dispatch boat
Kanawaha and preparing for cruise
along the coast of New England, said
today in discussing Cuban affairs:
"Cuba is totally undeveloped isl
and and has great future before it.
Yellow fever, that great bugbear of our
people in the south, in another year
will cease to be epidemic. We have
not had single case of yellow fever at
Habana this summer and none in east
ern Cuban for two years past.
"Cuba's resources require capital
for development. The last enormous
sugar crop was raised on 8 per cent Of
the entire sugar producing land. Only
this small per centage is under cult
walton. We have 81, 800, 900 in our re-
serve fund and can pay all our debts
and get out of Cuba within the next
eight months. We have established
8, 800 hourishing schools.
Two years ago we were obliged to
provide over 100 orphan asyluns to
protect the destitute children, since
then we have abolished 60 and expect
to be able to close more before we re-
tire from the management OF Cuban
affairs. Our troops have been we'll
cared for and their health compares
favorably with that of the troops in
this country, showing that the ISL
and is healthy. They camp out and
take practice similar to those of other
troops of the army. and in every way
their condition and behavior has been
admirable. The municipal govern
ments are in order. The judicia-
ry is entirely reformed and is satisfac-
tory to the people. The people are
gentle and easily governed. They are
atfectionate and tractible. Beggars
are never seen. The products of ma
ture are so liberal that the wants Of
nature are easily satisfied. y

ILLINOIS TRAIN ROBBERS.

Chicago, July 31.-The Baltimore and
Ohio passenger train from the east,
which was due to arrive in the Grand
Central station, Chicago, at 9 O'Clock
tonight, was held up by five masked
men at 8 o'clock between Edgemore
and Grand Calumet Heights, Indiana,
81 miles out from Chicago. One OF the
mail cars which contained no money,
was dynamited and wrecked, The
attempt at robbery was made after the
two mail cars had been detached
from the train and run quarter OF a
mile head. The failure of the robbers
to make a rich haul was due to the
fact that the express car, which con-
tanned the trains treasure, was IN an
unusual place. It was the third car
in the train. After wrecking the mall
car and obtaining no booty, the rob-
bers disappeared in the darkness with
out attempting to rectify their mis-,
take. The only loot that they carried
away with them as a result Of their ad-
venture was the gold watch of the en-
gineer.

LORD ROBERTS CRITICIZED.
Bitter Feeling Displayed by
Minority in Commons but he is
Granted Half a Million.

London, July 31.-In the house OF
commons today proposing resolution
granting Field Marshal Earl Roberts
s1OO, 900 for his services in South
Africa, A. j. Balfour, the government
leader, in the course OF a eulogy OF
the field marshal, whom he compared
with such men as Collingwood, Nelson,
Marlborough and Wellington, said
there was no doubt that but for Lord
Roberts daring and strategy, and the
rapidity with which his plans were
carried out Kimberly and Mafeklng
would have fallen, II, 600 British would
have been starvd into submission at
Ladysnith and there would have been
a general rising of disloyalists in
South Africa. Great Britain might
have recovered therefrom, but at what
a cost? The country was saved from
this by the genius of the man he now
invited the honse to reward by unan-
imous vote, irrespective of political
differences. The statement called forth
protests from the Irish members.
The Liberal leader, Sir Henry Camp
bell -Bannerman, concurred in the mo-
tion.
John Dillon, Irish nationalist,
strongly opposed the vote. He pro
tested against mentioning LORD Rob-
erts in association with such man as
Marlborough. He declared Lord Rob
erts had shown the greatest inhuman-
ity in South Africa and said he had
employed barbarous methods and had
proved himself a dismal failure. Mr..
Labouchere, radical, protested against
granting gratuities to military men
while nothing was given to civilians
who were doing something for the
benefit of their country.
Keir Hardie, socialist and independ-
ent labor, took similar view. He de-
clared that in the opinion Of experts
at home and abroad, Lord Roberts
failure primarily was responsible for
the continuance of the war.
Swift MacNeill, Irish nationalist,
said he considered Lord Roberts ope-
rations were conducted with maxi
mum Of cruelty and minimum of hu-
manity and that his farewell speech at
Cape Town was horrible hypocrisy
and blasphemy.
After further debate for and against
the measure Mr.. Balfour moved the
closure which was carried by 257 to
1OS votes. The resolution was after
wards adopted by vote of 2Sl to -.

CONTINUE FIGHTING !"

London. August "A dispatch
from Standerton, Transvaal, dated
July 5, which had. been stopped by the
censor, has Just been received here.
It reads:
Walter Kitchener met Louis Botha
and his secretary, DeWet, by appoint
ment. near Platt Rand, a few days
age. They brought Kruger's reply to
Botha's surrender proposal. 1t was:
Botha, DeWet. De Larey, Steyn !:
Continue fighting. Alienation will
be sent when needed Enough for
the present.
London, August 3,-''The Beers
who are invading Portuguese terri
tory,'' says the Lourenzo Marques cor
respondent of the Daily Mail, mum
Der 800. They crossed the line near
Nanetzei and are now going north
ward toward Komatipoort. A Swiss
farmer reports that his farm buildings
have been burned and his stock has
been driven off, and that his wife and
servants are missing. Although the
Portuguese authorities are preparing
to make vigorous resistance, only
l44 men, under Capt. Almeida, are
pursuing the Beers.
London, August 3.-The Cape Town
correspondent of the Daily Mail, IN
communication dated July II, places
the strength of the Beers in Cape
Colony between 1000 and 5000 men,
almost all of whom are rebels.
The Daily Mail contrasts this with
the official statement not long ago that
there were only 1000.
1.-The colonial authorities, - the cor
respondent continues, have Just
awakened to the possibility that the
last shot in the war may be fired in
Cape Colony and unless vigorous eff
forts are put forth there is nothing to
prevent the Beers from holding out
another twelve months.
