Memorial Day May 10, 1901.

Over the graves OF our dead we strew
Beautiful flowers red, white and blue;
Remember, dear children, they died
for YOU
Ending their lives both noble aud true
They see no more of tho bloody fray,
They hear no buglc at the break of day;
The boom Of the cannon no moro do
they hear
Rest now, beloved, no battle shall inter-
fere.
Watching the sun as it slowly sinks
down;
Thinking OF them in their glory and
renown;
Thinking of their mothers on the sad
parting day,
Thinking OF them as their sons went
away!
Children! dear children! we cannot all be
Brave, noble and great like Robert e.
But children, dear children, now listen
to me,
We can all be kind, noble and free.
AGNES.

FREQ Ferry Mt Ilempsona.

On Saturday Of last week Mr.. John
NJ. Schumpert, Supervisor Of this
county met the Supervisor from Saluda
County to make arrangements by which
Kempson's Ferry will be made free
ferry. This will be great advantage
to the people living in that section of
Saluda County, and should bring con-
siderable trade to Newberry that now
goes to Batesburg. and other places on
the G. G. & a. r.. r., and we are glad
that this is to be free ferry, but would
like to see bridge built at that place,
and if it were built it would no doubt
be paying investment for this county,
to say nothing of the convenience it
would be to the people of that section
Of both counties.

arc SO bcfoggcd that they arc dropping

with the vain hope Of cheating tho
keeper at the gate.

The Russian Agreement.

Washington, March l6.-Our gov.
ernment has not yet been able TO
obtain anything like an official state
ment OF the contents OF the alleged
agreement between Russia and China
respecting the protectorate over Man.
churia. The opposition to the Russian
move has not crystallized up to this
moment, but II is felt that there is
every prospect OF q contamination OF
the agreement. unless the other pow
ers, which now hang undecided, speed.
lily come to a determination to op.
pose It, In view Of this impending
crisis, the officials here would regard
as OF secondary Importance the ne.
gotiations at Pekin respecting the In
IDENTITIES and punishments were 1t
not for the belieI that there is great
danger by undue insistence by the
ministers at Pekin upon the collec-
tion of impossible indemnities and
the continuance OF punitive measures.
The United States government will
be obliged In Difference to public SEN
timent here to MAINTAIN an attitude
OF exast neutrality and withhold any
assistance that might otherwise be
reasonably requested. In the greater
purpose of checking the consumma-
tion OF an agreement which is almost
certain to result In the partition OF
China. So, as already stated. Special
Commissioner Rockhill is acting

ment, doing his best to keep the de.
mands Of the ministers within the
bounds OF the ABILITY OF the Chinese

partment, laid down as far back as

DEwET IS INSANE.
Statement Made by Prisoners Lately
Released.

Statement Made by Prisoners Lately
Released.
BLOEMFONTEIN March 1S.-Pris-
oners who have lately been released
by General Dewet say they think he
is madman. They aver that the ter
rible fatigues he has undergone, his
anxiety and the intensity of his feel
ings have unbalanced his mind. Apart
from this view of Dewet's mental state,
some Of his peculiarities are that he
rarely sleeps within the bounds of his
camp. He seeks rest outside with a
few trusted followers. Thus the or
derlies Of his subordinate commanders
are frequently unable to find him to
receive orders. His secrecy is ex-
treme. He absolutely imparts his
plans to no one. Dewet repudiates
the peace negotiations which are go
ing on. He declares openly to the men
that no terms except independence
will satisfy him. A recent utterance
attributed to him is that, after the
British, he hated the Transvaalers.
The whereabouts of Dewet during the
last two or three days is unknown,
nor is it known whether President
Steyn is with him.

IHR[[ LIVES lost
Fire in a Boston Newspaper
Building.
THE pRooFREADERs ARE THE VICTIMS
Upper Floors Of the Advertiser Office Burned
0ut-most Of the Employees Escaped
TO an Adjoining Roof

BOSTON, March 18.-Three fives
sacrificed, nearly a dozen men more
or less injured, and many thousands
Of dollars OF damage were the results
of fire In the Daily Advertiser and
Records seven-story, gray front build
ing in Newspaper Row tonight.
How the fire started is not known,
but 1t was first seen In the pressroom.
II spread to the elevator well, and
darted to the top so rapidly that be-
fore the occupants of the two upper
floors were aware that the building
was on fire their rooms were filed
with flames and smoke.
In the editorial rooms on the sixth
floor there were but five men. All
had to run for their lives. On the
upper floor, occupied by the compos-
ing room, were Is composers and
proofreaders, whose situation was
most critical. Panic stricken, they
rushed for the windows leading to
the fire escapes, and all but three of
them succeeded in gaining the roof
of an adjoining building. Long lad.
ders were raised as quickly as the
network of electric wires over the
street would permit, but before lad
der could be placed in position the
men had dropped through a skylight
in the adjoining roof and reached
places of safety. Except in the press
room in the basement there was prac-
tically no fire in the building below
the fifth story. No one was in the
pressroom at the time the fire started
except the fireman. who had not been
seen up to late hour. It took three
hours Of work to drown out the fire.
The three victims were suffocated
before they had time to reach the
fire escapes.
Late tonight the loss was estimated
at s150,000, with little insurance.
