HOLLIS KILLS WIFE and Her SISTER
Fired at Others Of Family; Ended
by Shooting Himself.

Anderson, Dec. 13.-This afternoon
at s o'clock at Lima, in Greenville
county, near Piedmont, and II miles
from Greenville, occurred one of the
most horrible crimes ever committed
in the history of the county. Edward
Hollis, young white man, walked
into the room where his family and
relatives assembled, shot and killed
his wife and his sister-in-law, fired
unsuccessfully at his mother-in-law
and his son, and then shot himself.
Mr.. Hollis is hat drummer. Dur
ing her husbands absence, Mrs. Hol-
lis and child live with Mrs. Hollis
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Pool.
Hollis had returned to spend the holi-
days.
Several days ago he and his wife
quarreled and this is supposed to be
the cause of the deed. This afternoon
and at the time OF the shooting, Mr..
Pool was out hunting. Hollis is said
to have been drunk. He was known
to be a wild, reckless man and feared
by the community. Both families con-
cerned are prominent. The entire
community is grief stricken over the
occurrence.

Two Great Benefactions.

We of the United States boast of our
superiority in many respects, but we
have few better reasons for self-lauda-
tion than are supplied by the noble mon
and women of our country who contrl-
butte to the support and extension of
educational and charitable enterprises.
No other country approximates ours IN
the number of such benefactors or the
extent of their donations.
England and Germany combined
cannot match the record that has been
made by the philanthropists Of the
United States in the last ten years.
France might be thrown into the bar
gain and still the honors would be:with
US. Instead of decreasing, this liber-
ality of the possessors of large wealth
in our country is increasing.
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, who has given
away already scores of millions, has
recently established an endowment of
$40, 600, 900 for the establishment and
support of national school of science
at Washington.
Coming close upon this is the an
nouncement that Mrs. Leland Stan
ford, who has won beautiful and
worldwide fame, by the use of
her wealth for the benefit of hu-
manity, has increased her gifts to
Stanford University so that their total
now reaches $50, 600, 600, greater sum
than any other educational institution
in the world possesses or ever had,
unless it be Girard college.
Mr.. Carnegie's latets gift is nota-
BILE recognition of the demand for
practical education. He has founded
an Institution that will help nightly
toward the development of the. mate
rial resources of the country and
promote its industrial and scientific
progress beyond computation.
Its benefcent and inspiring infu-
ence will be felt throughout the whole
land and it may prove to be after all,
he most splendid of all his many
numents.-Atlanta Journal.

SGRLEY DECIDED AGAINST.
But Dewey Favored Him---AnaIy-
sis of the Report.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The report of
the Schley court of inquiry was pro-
mulgated by Secretary Long tonight.
There are two reports. Admiral Ben
ham and Admiral Ramsay concur in
the first which is signed by Admiral
Dewey also as matter Of form. Ad-
miral Dewey makes a separate report.
The majority opinion finds in brief
that Admiral Schley should have pro-
ceeded with the utmost despatch to
Cienfuegos and maintained a close
blockade; that he should have endeav-
ored to have obtained information of
the Spanish squadron there; that he
should have proceeded to Santiago
with dispatch; that he should not
have made the retrograde movement !;
that he should have obeyed the depart
ment's orders; that he should have
endeayored to have captured the
Spanish vessels in Santiago: that he
did not do his utmost to destroy the
Colon; that he caused the squadron
to lose distance in the loop of the
Brooklyn; that he thereby caused the
Texas to back; that he did injustice
to Hodgson; that his conduct in the
campaign was characterized by yacll-
lation and dilatoriness and lack Of
enterprise; tina this official reports on
the coal supply were misleading and
inaccurate; that his conduct during
the battle was selfpossessed aud he
encouraged in his own person his sub
ordinate officers and men.
Admiral Dewey in his report says
that the passage to Cienfuegos was
made with all dispatch; that inss view
of his coal supply the blockade of
Cienfuegos was effective; that he al
lowed the Adula TO enter Cienfuegos
to get information; that his passage
to Santiago was with as much dispatch
as possible, keeping the squadron to-
gether; that the blockade of Santiago
was effective, and finally, that he was
the senior officer off Santiago in alb
solute command and entitled to the
credit due for the glorious victory
which resulted in the total destruction
of the Spanish ships.

Deceiying the Beers.

The commandants are to hold a
meeting, according to a cable from
Bloemfontein, to ask Gen. DeWet and
Mr.. Steyn for information as to the
prospects for Intervention and also as
to the success Of Boer arms in the
field. The information they will get,
if they get anything at all. will
hardly be reliable if the following
cablergams from London to the New
York Tribune sets forth the true state
of the case:
"There has just been issued an En-
glish translation of all the Dutch Off
cial kilograms issued during the war
until the British troops occupied
Vryheld. They provide extraordinary
reading, comprising as they do the
actual reports sent by the Boer com
mandoes, and the proclamation of
leaders, showing the perfect system by
which the Dutch people were continu-
ally deceived and kept in ignorance of
che true state of affairs. In these tel
egrams the English forces are boldly
accused of attacking Boer ambulances,
and hiring Basutos and other native
races to take up arms. One report
stated that the English apparently
respected neither the Red Cross nor
the white flag, and, while the Beers
never retreated, but only took up 9th
er positions, the English soldiers were
always being put to fight. The Brit
ish losses as given by these reports
were terrific, and the Boer casualties
appeared to be confined to cattle and
horses. -
Julian Ralph and other American
correspondents testify to the same
things. Mr. Ralph says that the
Beers never told the truth about the
war to themselves or to their people,
as they believed themselves invincible
and will not admit they can be worst
ed in fight. This is of a piece with
the conduct of Mr.. Kruger and the
other members Of the Government who
have never conceded any doubt as to
their ultimate success in spite of the
fact that their seats of government were
long ago captured and all their organ
lied armies dispersed, leaving only
scattered squadrons in the field. The
Beers are among the bravest fighters
in the world, but would they be so
undaunted if they saw their situation
as clearly as other people? AS long as
the Holland Government, allied to
the Bores so closely by blood an inter
est, and the sympathetic and kindred
German nations will not intervene nor
even ask for arbitration it is hardly
possible that any other country will do
so. The consequences would be too
grave even if there was the disposition
to interfere in a fight that is on the
point Of being lost.-Courier Journal.

A MENACE TO COTTON.

The well-authenticated reports Of
the ravages of the Mexican weevil in
Texas not only show that this pest
has done a surprising amount of dam
age in the largest cotton producing
state, but cause apprehensions that it
may spread to other states.
The president of the Texas Cotton
Growers association and the authori-
ties of the Galveston Cotton exchange
have called attention to this danger
and urged that every means of guard
ing againstit be adopted as promptly
as possible.
The Galveston Cotton exchange has
adopted resolutions calling on con-
gress to authorize the Federal depart
ment Of agriculture to 'expend $50, 00(
in campaign against the Mexican
weeviI in Texas, tie only place in
this country where it has yet develop
ed.
It is urged that the only hope Of sue
cessfully contending against this de-
stroying- insect lies in the national
government. While the south is, OF
course, more deeply concerned in this
matG0E InaN any OGHeI SeCGIOlI, Gue
whole country is interested in any
thing that threatens the prosperity Of
cotton culture in the United States.
There are many precedents for govern
ment aid Of the effort to exterminate
this pest, and there have seldom been
so strong case presented for govern
ment protection Of an agricultural
interest.
The boil weevil made its first appear
ance in Texas three or four years ago.
There have been sporadic efforts tc
contend with it, but nothing like an
organized or scientific attack on the
pest has yet been put forward.
The Federal department of agricul-
ture has studied the question and is SC
we'll posted that a properly support
ed effort on its part would probably
suppress the weevil.
The southern representatives and
senators should rally as one man tc
the support of the petition of the Gal
weston Cotton exchange, and we doubt
not that they will have the co-opera-
tion of enough liberal minded men in
congress from the other sections tc
make their efforts successful. At

British Mistakes in South Africa

The comparative freedom with
which dispatches are coming through
from South Africa is held by the Lon
don Statist to mean that the Govern
ment is at last giving Lord Kitchener
the support he needs to bring the war
to an end. Of course, such cable
grams as were published yesterday Civ
ing an account of the effective work
done in one week and the advance Of the
blockhouse system into the Eastern
Transvaal are gladly transmitted by
the censor, but the Statist refers to
news of very different nature. It
says in it's issue of November 80,
which has Just been received:
"On Thursday morning the Times
printed long telegram from Pretoria
giving detailed account of the num-
Der, the strength and the position Of
the several Boer commanders, and also
of the force which Lord Kitchener
is able to employ against them at the
present time. 1t is clear that nobody
but the military authorities can know
all that is obtained in the telegram.
And even if a newspaper correspon-
dent could accumulate the informa-
tion, it is perfectly obvious that the
censor would not allow his telegram to
pass unless the military authorities
thought it desirable that the state
ments made in it should be placed be-
fore the British public We seem safe,
therefore, in concluding that the
military authorities, if they did not
actually supply the information, at
all events approved of its being given
to the British public. And if that be
so, we have clear evidence that Lord
Kitchener wishes for further
strengthening of the mounted en- un-
der his command. He is not the kind
of person to ask for patience, or to
worry at ignorant criticism. When
be allows such a telegram to pass the
censorship, we may be very sure he
has sufficient object in view
The Statist is probably right, and
it is certainly much exercised over
the necessity of bringing the war to
an end. 1t is delighted that Gen. Ian
Hamilton has joined Kitchener, .and
it calls upon him to reorganize the
staff without fear or favor. Its critic
isms are very severe upon past
methods.
If the British Government has at
last come to recognize the superiority
Of the Colonial troops and the ineffi-
cheney of its own officers and army,
then. indeed, the war may be nearing
an end The world has grown tired of
the sickening tragedy that is going on
in South Africa, and ii the inevitable
end can be hurried by recognition of
national mistakes it will be welcomed.

COTTON MILLS THREATENED
WITH A COAL FAMINE.

Knoxville, Tenn, Dec. 13.-Local
coal men who supply textile industries
in the Carolinas can offer little en-
couragement of relief from threaten
ed coal famine.
The Southern Railways order con-
fscating coal for its own use materially
reduces the supply and the prevailing
car famine only adds to troubles.
Representatives of two Of the largest
companies with Offices here stated
tonight that they were powerless tc
furnish more than one-fourth the coal
needed by their Carolina customers.
It is said if the Pocahontas field
cannot make up the deficiency there
must be partial if not complete shut
down of many Of the large plants.
