Late COmmandant of the X. M. M. A.
Tells His Side of the Story.
Editor Yorkville Enquirer:
Since my arrival home sickness pre-
vented my giving the deserved notice to
newspaper articles, relating to the trou-
BILE at the Kings Mountain Military
academy, which have appeared from
day to day, and it is not my purpose
now, to have a controversy with the
writer's Of these articles and especially
would I refrain from having contro-
versy with the Rev. ]. c. Johnes, who,
protesting to have consecrated his life
in a mission Of peace on earth, good
will to all men," is officiously and vol
UNFAIRLY engaged in an attempt to
blight the character Of fellow man.
There is none who regrets the trouble
more than I, and If could, with self
respect, remain silent, would willing
ly do so; but in his efforts to cover the
faults of others the attempt Is made to
damage me, and I will, as briefly as I
can, present to the public the cold facts
in this unfortunate affair so far as they
relate to me.
am q graduate Of a military school
and became the commandant of the
Kings Mountain Military academy.
The entire military branch Of the insti-
tuition was under my supervision and
responsibility. In November last, on
account Of interferences Of Colonel Ste
phenson, who is not military man, 1
became dissatisfied, not being willing
to continue in responsibility when there
was another interfering with my work,
and I rendered my designations; but af-
ter Col. Stephenson importuned me to
remain, expressing the utmost conf
dence in my ability, yielded and with
drew my resignation. Furloughs were
granted at irregular and extended In
tervals without my consent. I reduced
cadet officer and he replaced him
without consulting me. Another cadet
who was in arrest several times for ex-
pulsion offences, I recommended expul-
sion; but the superintendent refused to
take action. Col. Stephenson was ad-
vised by me that my remaining with
him under these circumstances was
distasteful and only to carry out my
contract with him, and that under no
circumstances would return to the in
stitution under his management. This
was known to him at the time I con-
sented to remain after rendering my
resignation.
At another time, Colonel Stephenson
approached me with a proposition for
the next session which, although the in
ducement Of an increased salary was
attached, I declined, because did not
feel warranted in risking my reputa-
ton under a man whose conduct war
rants me in saying was incapable Of
discipline, one of the accessory ele-
ments of a military school.
1t was only two days before left
that Colonel Stephenson approached me
with the kindest assurances and asked

LITTLE KING OF THE CORN PIT.

Geo. H. Phillips Is "a years old,
smooth faced, weighs 125 pounds, Is S
feet u inches in height, dresses plain
ly, rises at a. m, and starts his days
work at home at $50. He is called by
some "a statistician BULL" He first be-
gan trading on the board Of trade In
1892; but before that time, as he him
self puts it, my highest ambition was
to become pit salesman with salary
of perhaps SIS a week. Later I wan
ted to grow a moustache and be allow
ed to have charge Of an elevator at
$1OO a month. Then thought would
be rich and could marry" His first
membership in the board Of trade was
bought for him by George A. Seaverns,
who, he says, taught him all he knows
Of the grain business. He is not plum
ger. He does not aspire to rule the
Chicago market. He says there is no
reason why corn should not be 40 cents
all the time, because it costs that much
to produce it, and give the farmer a
reasonable profit for his labor. He
Enthusiastically says of his desires:
'If it were in my power to advance
the grain market by refusing to sign a
treaty Of peace between two countris.
I am not so grabbing that I would do
it. By fair means believe in advanc-
ing the price Of grain and in that way
helping all parties, but in no other way
would I do It."
Since his success he has bought no
horses, yachts, fine residences or dia-
monds. He Is as unlike the average
speculator, the man who has a great
deal to do about the board Of trade In
the past, as black is different from
white. He is original and scrupulously
honest. He stands for fair play in trad
ing.-Chicago Record-Herald.

NO MORE PETTIGREWEL.

South Dakota Statesman Tanned, So
to Speak, by a Wall Street For
tune.
Are we to have no more pettigrew-
ing?
Who of us, two months ago, dreamed
that such a question could be asked In
good faith today?
1t is true that Pettigrew went out Of
office on the 4th Of March; that after
that he no longer had a seat in the SEN
ate from which to arise, and with
the aid Of the press reporters, pour
out his pettigrewel upon a helpless
people. But it was everywhere as
sumed that in or out Of office,
Pettigrew was Pettigrew, that Petit
grew would continue to be Pettigrew
until either Pettigrew or time should be
no more, and that, reporters or no re-
porters, he would continue to Pettigrew
his peevishness, pessimism and perdi-
| ton upon a wretched and worthless
world.
And yet within less than two months
| all is changed.
We hear no more the prophet Of evil,
| the minstrel of misery, the bow-wower
of woe, the dancing dervish Of doom.
Where once fell on our ears the wall
of the whangdoodle, now sounds the
voice of the turtle in the land.
And the whangdoodle and the turtle
are one.
And the one is Pettigrew.
What has worked this miracle?
Simply that Pettigrew has met the
Money Devil and found that the Money
Devil is his'n.
ster, and Pettigrew has made meal of
| it.
We all remember-how can we for
get?-what an important constituent of
Pettigrewel two months ago Wall street
was; how it was the root Of all evil. the
fruit of all monstrosities.
And yet since Pettigrew left the sem
ate he happened to stray near the pur-
] lieus of Wall street, and to meet a man,
the president Of the great Northern
railway, who though he is an insider
of the street, was yet admitted to Petit
Crews presence on speaking terms, and
this wicked Wall streeter ventured to
whisper to Pettigrew tip or two, and
Pettigrew ventured a tip or two on
these tips, the result being that Petit
grew has gone back home carrying sew
eral hundred thousand dollars which he
secured by buying a few options in
Wall street and unloading them to the
| dear people,
That is why we are not having any
more Pettigrewing just now; why Pet
tigrew is no longer prosecuting his plan
to turn Wall street into a pasture, and
why the wall of the whangdOodle has
given place to the voice of the turtle in
the land.-LOuisville Courier Journal.

PLACER MINING.
immense Machinery Being Placed
in Position in the Dolores
Country by Wealthy
Mining Company.

Gen. Lucius Clark and David Camp
bell Of Chicago, Engineer s M. Snyder
and John j. Lumsden returned Tuesday
night from the Dolores country, whers
they went in the interest of the Reming
ton Mining & Power company. This
company will work the placer ground Of
the Dolores river, which was worked
quite extensively several years ago.
Gen. Clark and Mr.. Campbell went
with Mr.. Lumsdsn to locate the ground
for the placing Of the extensive machin-
cry which the new company has pur-
chased to work the ground. John }.
Lumsden has secured the contract to
transport all the machinery and place
same on the grounds Of the company.
which is, by the way a considerable con-
tract.
Ths new machinery for the company
conprehends an outlay of oyer ffty
Thousand dollars and with it they expect
to carry on. placer mining on more ex
tensive lines than has ever boon carried
on in western Colorado. Two great Le-
fel wheels which will run the force
pumps will carry the water up over Gig ht
hundred feet, developing Hve hundred
horsepower in tho pumps. The wheels
will run under an eleven foot head of
water.
The water will then be carried by
pipes and fiuming to the place where op-
erations will be carried on, and will issue
from a four-incn nozsle, developing y
force which will. tear down the placer
ground in great chunks.
Gen. Clark says they have enough pla-
Ger ground 10 work constantly for per-
iod OF sixteen years. working $50 days to
tne year. The operations will be carried
on extensively with = strong and wealthy
corporation back OF the work, "a uill be
readily recognized by the large amount
OF money which will be expended right
at tho start of the work. The task Of
sitting up the machinery 10 no inconsid-
erable one, neither is its transportation
over the roads which lead into the Do
lores country. However, the contract is
in the hands OF q man who does not
know the word fail. and it can readily be
anticipated that John j. Lumsden will
land tho machinery at the point required
"bottom side up with care" and set it up
according to the plans and specifications
required.
1t is matter Of satisfaction that the
placer workings on tho Dolores are to be
again placed in active operation. There
is no question that the gold gravel de-
posits are rich and worth working thor
ouRhly. The company which has now
come into possession of the old workings
is amply able to place the very best ma
chinery in operation and work the ground
for all it is worth. The opening up Of
the workings will help advertise western
Colorado to the mining world and to in
vestors, and it cannot hurt, but will hen
eft us greatly.
