GOVERNOR WILL AID
PICKENS COUNTY NEGROES

Governor Gambler says he IS going to
break up that gang Of people in Pickens
county whose object 1t seems to be to
drive all the negroes from the county
and Thursday on request of Judge George
F. Gober he issued a reward Of $50 for
the first and 800 for each subsequent ar
rest of the marauders.
The gang has been terrorizing the ne
groes of the county since last November.
Negro churches have been burned, ne
groes have been whipped and beaten and
several have been killed. Dynamite has
been used on several occasions in blow
ing up negro houses, and now the ne
groes are in such a state of alarm, that
they scarcely know what to do.
The effect Of the reward 1t is believed
will be to stop the continual depredations
that have been going on and restore quiet.
The lawabiding citizens have determined
to break up the lawlessness that exists
and to protect the negroes from the white
men. who seem bent on killing them out.
1t is understood that the sheriff has been
given special instructions to look out for
the gang and to arrest any suspicious per-
sons and bring them to trial.

MILES MAY RESIGN
4 UNDER PRESSURE

WASHINGTON, March 20.-General Nell
son A. Miles today told the senate COM
mittee on military affairs that IL the bill
introduced by Senator Hawley, at the in
stance Of the war department. for the or
ganization of a general stan for the army
should become a law, he would decline TO
longer hold his commission. The reason
he gave for the statement is that the
bill is utterly subversive Of the interests
of the military establishment, and he said
that he would not be a party to such a
proceeding to the extent even of ocontin-
uing TO hold his place. - fsro
70 The statement was made in the course
of a prolonged hearing by the committee
which was conducted behind closed doors
and I'm which General Miles touched upon
a variety OF subjects connected with the
army. The portion of the bill to which he
directed his especial criticism is that con-
tained in section z. reading as follows:
THAT from and after the passage of
this act the senior general officer Of the
army shall be assigned to command such
portion of the army as the president may
direct, or be detailed to duty in the gen.
eral staff corps. All. duties prescribed by
law for the commandant general of the
army shall be performed by the chief of
general stan or other general officer des-
ignated by the secretary of war; provid-
ed that so long as the present lieutenant
general of the army continues on the ac-
tive list, he shall be the chief of the gen.
eral staff and upon the separation from
active service of said lieutenant general

Before December 9th, 1901, as is alleged

Ordinary Brown a written notice not to

Miss Alma Critics, only about IA years

REBUKEDt. .BY.
PRESIDENT III
AGAIN. u
MILES PROPOSAL OF PLAN TO
END Philippine WAR MAY
= CAUSE HIS RETIRE
MENT.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 20.-Gen-
eral Miles second rebuff at the White
House and the recent publication of the
incident may be followed by the retire.
ment Of the old warrior by Roosevelt.
1t is said that both the president and
the secretary of war are highly indignant
that the story leaked out, and in conse-
quence the president may exercise the law
which allows him to retire an officer over
the age of sixty. Miles reached that age
last August, but unless sooner retired by
Roosevelt, will continue his present office
until August, 1903. r%s,
1t was nearly a month ago that Miles
called on the president, laid bare his plan
TO stop the war in the Philippines and re-
ceived the second presidential rebuke for
his pains. There was an understanding
between the soldier and the president that
the matter should be kept secret. Per-
haps IL would have been kept secret had
not Henry Watterson, in general news
paper article last Saturday, referred to 1t
in a paragraph. Then newspaper men
here dug out the entire story. How the
Kentuckian got the fact that Miles had
been rebuked again is still a secret.
All Decline to Talk.
In view of the fact that the original
publication represented that General Miles
had been snubbed, or severely rebuked by
the president, it is not regarded as a rea-
Sonable SuppoSition that the information
was made public by him. but rather by
some person or persons inimical to his in
terests. Neither the secretary Of war nor
General Miles, nor. in fact, any of the
leading officials of the war department,
will say anything for publication in regard
to the matter.
1t was learned from other sources, how
ever. that the president had called for all
the papers in the case and is considering
the advisability of making them public,
with a view to showing the facts and pre-
venting further misunderstanding of the
matter.
Congressional notice of General Miles
rebuff by Roosevelt when he asked to be
sent TO the Philippines to bring the war
TO a close, without further loss of life on
either side, came today when Represen-
tative Burleson, of Texas, introduced a
resolution calling on the president to fur
what he did. He laid the general blame
for this condition OF unpreparedness at
the door of congress.

The onion is undoubtedly a wholesome article
Of food; in fact has many medicinal qualities
of value, but it would be difficult to hnd a
more indigestible article than fried onions
and to many people they are simply poison, but
the onion does not stand alone in this respect.
Any article of food that is not thoroughly d.
gested becomes a source of disease and dis
comfort, whether it be fried onions or beef
steak.
The reason why any wholesome food is not
promptly digested is because the stomach lacks

stomachs lack peptone. others deficient in

acid.

ais constituting a general stan
Then he added that in all probability
the senior general of the army would not
under the provision he had quoted have
been in position to do anything, and he
called attention to the clause relieving
him (the senior generaD of command and
making 1t possible for any other officer
to be appointed. He declared that under
section seven it would be competent to
one day promote a captain to the posi-
ton of brigadier and the next day make
chief of staff, thus practically placing
a captain at the head of the army.
Warming up somewhat, he asserted that
the bill was calculated to. accomplish no
purpose, except to allow the secretary of
war and the adjutant general to promote
the interests of their personal favorites.
General Miles was questioned as to the
reasons for locating the American army
of occupation at Tampa and holding it
there so long with the resulting conges-
ton. Replying to the first question, he
said that it was because of the order to
occupy Havana. The delay was due he
said, to the fact that the American army
was supplied with only sixty-four rounds
Of ammunition, which would not have
been sufficient for more than half an hour
of fighting
Considering that Havana was one OF the
best fortified cities in the world he said,
that to have attacked 1t would have been
fool-hardy in the extreme. He declined.
however, to criticise the then secretary of
war, General Alger for the condition of
affairs, saying that probably any one
else in the position would have done about
what he did. He laid the general blame
for this condition of unpreparedness at
the door of congress.
In the course of his remarks, General
Miles told the committee in confidence
that with the bill law he could now
name the men who would hold the places
of honor provided under 1t. but the CONF
mittee did not ask for the names.
