NoTE-Not having a copy Of the Hoge
catalogue on hand, upon receipt of the
above letter, THE ENQUIRER sent the
following dispatch:
YoRKv1LLE, S. c., April 20, 1901.
Hoge Military Academy,
Blackstone, Va:
Please telegraph name of your pres
ent commandant. The matter is lr
controversy.
YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER.
At IL o'clock yesterday, we received
an answer to the foregoing as follows
BLACKSTONE, Va, April 30, 1901.
YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER,
Yorkville, S. c.:
David Meade Bernard, commandant
Send me papers with controversy.
E. B. WAsHBURN,
Prest. Hoge Military Academy.
It is proper to note that the error In
Mr.. Bernard's name, substituting "B
for an M as published last Satur-
day, occurred in this office. Colonel
Stephenson had given the reporter the
name as I'D. M. Bernard"
The principal issue, as we understand
it, is whether or not Major Bradham
and Captain Law are guilty as they are
charged. The former with assisting a
cadet to desert, and ordering cadet
officer not to discharge his duty; and
the latter with inefficiency in the class
room and Indifference as to the welfare
of the school. AS yet, neither side of the
case has been fully presented. State
ments alleged to have been made by
Captain Law are fatty contradicted by
prima facie evidence. For instance,
where Captain Law is reported as say
ing that his salary has not been paid,
Colonel Stephenson shows a receipt In
the form Of a check on the bank, the
check having been endorsed by Capt.
Law and marked paid by the bank.
Very likely an Investigation, If con-
Quoted fairly and impartially, may get
down to the truth of the whole matter.
At any rate there can be no reasonable
objection to such an investigation. The
superintendent and corps of the K. M.
NJ. A., we are advised, court it, and the
people of Yorkville, we think, will be
disposed to see that correct judgment
is reached. So let the<vork go on re-
gardless of the falling of the chips.

line. The reasons are good. Up to q
few years ago the consular service was
conducted with great secrecy. AL
though the state department required
frequent reports from it's representa-
tives in foreign trade ports, the i'm
formation received was carefully guard
ed from the public until after 1t had
been secured by enterprising merchants
and manufacturers from other sources
through their own efforts. Secretary
Sherman put a stop to this absurdity,
and arranged for the publication OF
consuar reports as soon as received
especially such portions Of these reports
as were purely commercial. AS the re-
suit of this arrangement, the energy
and enterprise of the consuls were
greatly stimulated, and their reports
soon became of inestimable value.
Merchants and manufacturers inter-
ested in the foreign trade began to look
to the state department for the best
and most reliable information about
new opportunities. They have follow
ed up these opportunities with charac-
teristic energy and enterprise, and in
large measure the result of the splendid
work of the consuls, America has be-
came the great commercial and imam
cial leader of all competitors in most of
the foreign markets. Because of these
things the president has seen proper
to discourage the old custom of divid-
ing consulates among the spoilsmen.
Instead, he is determined to make the
tenure of the incumbents Of these off,
ces dependent upon the value of their
services to the government.

CIRCUIT COURT.

In The case Of Elizabeth P. Gaulden
VS.. the Imperial Insurance company.
which was being tried when the last is
sue Of THE ENQUIRER went to press,
the jury returned verdict for the
plaintiff in the sum Of sS70.
The next case taken up was that of
N. A. Slattery VS.. w. B. deLoach, suit
for the settlement in. transaction
amounting to $500. The defendants
showing satisfied the jury that all OBJ
legations to the plaintiff had been dis
charged and the verdict was to that ef-
feet.
In the case Of the Commercial and
Farmers Bank VS.. Edward Fewell, the
verdict was for the defendant.
In the case Of the Carolina National
Bank of Columbia VS.. the Commercial
and Farmers Bank Of Rock Hill, there
was a consent verdict for the plaintiff
in the sum Of $5,299.51.
A motion for a new trial was granted
in the case of G. w. Brooke VS.. w. L.
Hill.
The last jury case was that of the
Roddey Mercantile company against
Narcissa Bratton, Samuel Moore and
others. This case grew out Of a war
rant of attachment issued under an ag-
ricultural lien held by the plaintiffs.
The main point in the case was based
upon the fact that the lien under which
the 1900 crop was seized included secu-
rity for a balance that had been car
ried over from the preceding year.
Under the statute, it seems, an agricul-
tural lien can only be made to cover
cannot be used to secure old balances.
AT the time the defendants signed liens
to cover the crops they were to make in
1900, they owed balances on their ac-
counts for the previous year. These
balances were included in the amounts
to be furnished during 1900. 1t was
with the consent Of the defendants.
Defendants counsel claimed that this
could not be carried out
even with the consent of the defendant.
The testimony showed, however, that
previous to the issuance of the warrant
of attachment, the defendants had
brought the plaintiff sufficient cotton to
wipe out the old balances and had con-
sented to the application Of the cotton
to this purpose. The court held that
this fact had disposed Of the old bal

Editor Yorkville Enquirer:
Much interest, and must add, indig-
nation, is being manifested at this
academy concerning the recent affair
at the K. M. M. A. AS two of our high
honor men of last years graduating
class are deeply concerned, and, as II is
generally believed, unjustly slandered,
we are desirous that their position be
Justly presented. Anywhere in this
state, and, certainly in York county

rity is not to be questioneO recommen-
dation to a young man is sutf1clent &c
insure his capability; and our superin-
tendent is as ready now to endorse
these young mems recommendations, as
when he did endorse them at the time
of their graduation.
We cannot but believe that the pres
ent story is faxed up one, as we
know from authoritative source, that
Major Bradham had rendered his res
ignation in January, and that Captain
Law had accepted a position in Florida
at about the same time, both of course
holding to the contract to remain at the
X. M. M. A. until the end of this term
We also know that the salaries OF
neither were forthcoming at the time
when due-if at all-and certainly they
are to be lauded for remaining under
these circumstances.
It Is a we'll known fact that neither o.
the gentlemen were in favor with a
great many of the corps Of cadets, or
account of their military discipline
which was regarded as too rigid, but
which was only such as Colonel Steph-
enson had intimated that he desired in
stituted.
Having talked with both professors,
know that each was interested in his
work and endeavored to promote the
welfare Of the academy. Both the corps
and faculty of this academy intend tc
investigate the affair, and will place
honor where honor is due, for neither
believe the facts as have been stated, tc
be the gist Of the affair.
Major Bradham and Captain Law are
men in whom we place the utmost con-
fidence as to their high moral character
and intellectual ability.
Perhaps it would be we'll to add thai

to Chicago Inter-Ocean: Former Sem
ator Richard Pettigrew is said to have
cleaned up a fortune of s250,000 by pro-
fitting by tips given him by J. ].
Hill, the railway man. This snug sum
of money has been Won since the ad-
journment of congress. Mr.. Pettigrew
has returned to South Dakota fairly
we'll pleased with his ventures. When
he walked out of the senate chamber he
is said to have been practically without
a dollar. Every cent that he could
scrape together had been expended in
his unsuccessful campaign. Through
a Minnesota agency Pettigrew secured
options on thousands Of acres of farm
land in Minnesota and Dakota, which
Hill told him would be penetratey by
his railroad. The money for the pur-
chase amounted to about $4,000 and
was advanced by his wife. After con-
gress adjourned, Pettigrew went to
New York, and within the last 80 days
he sold enough of this land to bring
him a comfortable fortune, two sales
alone netting 100000. Other invest
ments have recently paid him large
profits. and with the money made on
