SIR, Lever Wins.

Congressman Lever is now secure
in his seat. We learn from dispatch
to the News and Courier that in the
contested election case Of Representa-
tive Lever, Committee On Elections No
l has decided to make unanimous
report in favor Of the conteStee, Mr..
Lever, and has ordered all expenses of
the case paid. This is the old election
case of Dantzler VS. Stokes, which was
pending at the time of DR.. Stokes
death. Representative Lever, as DR..
Stokes successor, became cOnteStee in
the case. The contestant, A. D.
Dantzler, is d negro from Orange
burg, who contested the election on
the ground that the election laws of
South Corolina were unconstitutional.
There is no doubt that the report Of
the committee will be adopted by the
House, though it will probably not be
submitted for some time yet. We
are glad to know that the case has
been practically decided, and that
Mr.. Lever will have no more trouble
about the place he so Worthily fills.

PIANOS AT WHITE HOUSE.
Two New Instruments Secured for THO,
Presidents Large
Family.

Two magnificent concert grand
pianos were carried into the white
house the other day and placed in the.
Blue and green parlors. The reason
for the two is that there never was;
but one piano in the white house, and
this had to be moved from room to.
room until it had become time-worn.
and almost beyond repair. The two.
instruments placed as they now are.
will obviate this trouble.
Some pleasant, musicals will be add
CO TO the brilliant season at the white
house and famous musicians who visit.
Washington will play and sing for
the president and his friends. This is.
delicate compliment to artists, and:
one that will be appreciated by them.
Formerly those who were shown the.
honor By President and Mrs. Mckin--
lcy found only a fairly good instru-.
ment, and this had to be carried from
the private part of the house to the.
ru6!ice parlors. This trouble is now
ohv!ated.
It was Mrs. Cleveland's habit to
kcco the piano in the reception end
OF the upper hall, where she also had
her desk. books and other womsnly
requisites for a honey corner.
President and Mrs. Roosevelt are
both fond of music, and the children
are students in the art. Miss Alice
Roosevelt is said to play effectively.
This gives a new zest to the white
house life. as aside from President
McNinley's love of ballads and old IA
miliar songs and Mrs. Cleveland's love
OF music, there has been but little
music in the white house in years.

Postponed Again.

The b. B. Evans case, which was to
have been tried in Columbia last week
has been continued until next term Of
court. on motion Of George Johnstone,
attorney for defendant. Mr.. john
stone presented an affidavit setting
forth that a most important witness,
the defendants brother, was in Wat
erbury. Conn, where his wife was
dangerously i'll, on account of the
death of her mother, and that it
would be impossible for him to be at
the trial last week. Next week Mr.
Johnstone had an important engage
ment elsewhere. The affidayits also
stated that Mr.. JohnStoue had hoped
to have the witness here Wednesday,
but the above stated facts prevented
it. Solicitor Thurmond announced
that the state was ready to try the
case. Judge Buchanan granted a
continuance Of the case on the grounds
set out in the affidavit.

This Is Good One.

\ dispatch from St. Joseph Mo.
says in the stomach Of steer
slaughtered in a packing house there
was found Il diamond brooch worth
$500 that was lost by Miss Margaret
Carroll. Ct Baltimore, Md, two years
ago. The steer was grown on the
plains near Dodge City, Kan. Miss
Carroll happened to be detained for q
few hours at kinSley, Kan. thirty
miles from Dodge City while travelling
with a party OF friends in a private
car. Miss Carroll had taken a fancy
to a baby On the train, and she had it
with her in the observation end OF tie
car. She bought the child toy bal
loon to which the baby playfully at
tached the woman'S diamond brooch.
\ gust of wind caused the balloon IT,
wrench the pin from its fasteing and
it was carried Off, disappearing in the
western sky. \ reward was offered
for the recovery Of the ornament, but
there was no trace Of it until it was
taken from the stomach Of the steer.

Nlassacred by kurds.

News has been received Of massacre
by Turks and Kurds OF three hundred
Christians at Diabeckir, kurdestan.
\ band Of rowing armenians recently
appeared near the town. The au-
thorities sent Abraham Pacha: at the
head OF the Kurdish regulars, to dis
perse them. The regulars pursued the
Armenians some distance. attacking
an Armenian village en- route. Fin
ally Abraham and his party were
forced back. Just as they reached the
town, seeking reinforcementS, the Ar
menians opened fire. Heavy fighting
lasted for some time. The kuriS, en-
ragged at not being able to force the
.ArmcnianS back. turned into the
Christian quarter of the town and
killed numerically. Many Turks and
kurds were also killed.

Passing Away.

The Columbia State says the pen
sion clerk is busy making out the re-
vised pension rolls for the further
action Of the State board Of pensions
next week. 1t was announced Thurs
day that while there would be a con-
siderable increase in the total num-
ber Of pensioners on this years rolls,
the increase will not be as large as was
expected. Many names have been
dropped by the State board from the
lists sent in, and there are about $50
that will be taken off by reason OF the
death of the pensioners. This is a
much larger annual death rate than
has heretofore been prevailing, and
shows in cold figures how rapidly
those who helped to fight the south's
battles are passing away.

WEATHER AND CROPS.
The General Backwardness Of the
Season Saves the Crops.

The second weekly bulletin Of the
season of the condition Of the weather
and crops in South Carolina was issued
last week by Director Bauer of the
South Carolina section of the climate
and crop service of the United States
weather bureau. 1t is as follows:
The early part Of the week ending
Monday, April II, was unseasonably
cold, with heavy frost and thin ice in
exposed places to within about 80
miles of the coast, on the 9th. The
close of the week had about normal
temperature. Light frostS occurred in
the northwestern portions on the 10th
ard l1th. The frostS Of the week nip
ped some corn, yellowed some oats,
probably injured peaches Slightly in
places. but otherwise did no material
damage, owing to the backwardness
| Of the season.
On the 7th, there was beneficial
rain that covered the entire State,
and ranged in amounts from one-third
to over an inch. In places it was ac-
companied by hail. There was snow
furry in Newberry county on the Sth.
The sunshine was about normal. High
winds prevailed on the Sth and 9Th.
The week was generally favorable for
farm work, and rapid progress was
made in preparing lands for spring
planting, except on bottom lands,
which are still too wet to plow.
In the southeastern and east central
counties corn planting is nearly I'm
ished and much is up to poor stands,
while some has been replanted. Birds
and cut worms have injured stands.
In the central counties upland corn
planting is we'll under way, while
over the western it has only begun.
Not much cotton has been planted
anywhere, scarcely any in the western
portions of the State, but over the
eastern portions the bulk Of the crop
will be planted during the present
week.
Rice is being planted, in all the re-
gions where grown, under favorable
conditions.
Tobacco plants are plentiful but
small; transpianting willnot begin for
some time.
Truck had favorable weather, the
rainfall having been particularly ben
efcial along the coast.
Wheat is generally promising, al
though small, with, however, numer-
Gus exceptions, where the crop is poor.
Oats are exceedingly variable in condi-
tion, with only a few localities, where
the crop is entirely satisfactory.
Gardens are backward. Pastures
afford grazing over the eastern por-
- rs of the State only.
Fruits are late in blooming, and the
majority of correspondents regard it
as safe to date, butin Lexington coun-
ty and few other localities peaches
have been materially injured but not
all killed.

Two Negroes Suicides.

Negroes do not often commit sui
eide but two made away with them
selves in this State lasC week. On
Monday night Eugene Code commit
ted suicide in Columbia. Code has
attempted suicide several times be-
fore and this time an overdose of laud-
anum produced theappaTently desired
result. The other case was that OF
Sam johnson in Charleston on We'd
ncsday morning. Johnson had been
drinking heavily for several weeks.
He came home early Wednesday morn
ing and said to his wife: I'm as
sick as dog: | believe III blow my
brains cut" And he did. Raising
his revolver to his head, he pulled the
triggcr-thcn he fell across his bed
and lay still.

Can't Be Removed.

Judge Buchanan has declined to
grant the petition for the removal OF
the case brought by the State against
the N'irginia-Carolina Chemical COM
pany for violation of the State anti
trust act from the State to the United
States court, and other moves Of in
terest in the now famous proceeding
are expected in short order. The case
was heard by Judge Buchanan in Col
umbia on Thursday.

Marin China.

\ courier who arrived at Canton.
China. Wednesday, reported that over
1000 Imperialist soldiers, sent by
Marshal Su against the rebels. were
ambushed in narrow detile and ali
were killed or captured. The situa-
tion in the reheliouS districts of
Sogthern China is increasing alarm
ingly. The vicerol of Canton has tele-
graphed to Peking, urging the i'm
mediate forwarding Of rc-cnforce-
ments. Lack of news from General
Ma and Marshal Su is taken to indi-
cate that the rebels have surrounded
the Imperial troops and cut Off COM
municatiOn with them.

Cheap Mail Boxes.

Senator Tillman last week offered
an amendment to the poStotfice ap-
propriations bill that is a long step
toward the perfecting Of the rural
free delivery. This amendment pro-
vides for the purchase by the United
States of locked iron mail boxes in
wholesale quantities and their sale to
the farmers on the rural free delivery
routes at government cost. Under
the present laws and regulations of
the poStoffice department the patrons
of the rural free delivery are forced to
purchase these boxes from one Of four
teen firms named by the department
at d cost Of from one to three dollars
each, or else get no delivery. This
arbitrary regulation gave the manu-
facturers Of the boxes specified by the
postoffice department chance to form
a combine and fleece the public. by
charging exorbitant prices. Senator
Tillman'S amendment, which was
adopted, protects the farmer against
extortion by this box combine by limit
ing the price Of the boxes to fifty cents
each. Senator Tillman said ii offer
ing this amendment that it was to
prevent the farmers from being rob-
bed under the law which compels them
to purchase these boxes. The post
office appropriation bill has gone toa
conference Of the house and senate
committees and it is not known what
this conference committee will do in
regard to amendment. Should they
strike it out the bill will have to go
before the house again and then to
the senate where Senator Tillman is
prepared to make vigorous fight for
the amendment.

MORE REVELATIONS.
War in the Philippines and How * is
Waced.

The secretary Of war has placed
in the hands Of the senate committee
on Philippines 4 large number Of
orders. circulars and reports bearing
upon the conduct Of military affairs in
the unpacitied provinces of the Philip
pines.
On December 24th last Capt. W. Z.
Aver, adjutant general of the Sixth
brigade, issued circular to the sta
tion commanders in Samar in which
the conviction was expressed that the
wealthy classes or "pudientes'' among
the natives were, while protesting
friendship toward the Americans,
more responsible than any others for
the continuance of hoStilitieS. Under
such conditions, he said. the only
course to pursue, would be one that
would create in the minds of all
burning desire or longing so intense.
so personal, so real that it will impel
them to join hands with the Ameri-
cans in the accomplishment of that
end"
In announcing the policy of the
brigade he said it would be from this
time on to wage war in the Sharpest
and most decisive manner possible"
Giving instructions for the carrying
out Of this order, ne said young officers
we're to be given great latitude for
this conduct in harrassing the enemy
and that natives, and especially those
of wealth and influence were TO be re-
garded with suspicion, adding: Every
native, whether IN arms or living in
these pueblos or barrios will be re-
garded and treated as an enemy until
he has conclusiyely shown that he is a
friend"
Suspected persons should be appre-
hended and if there was not sufficient
evidence to convict they should be held
as military necessity. This direction
was made especially applicable to
priests of whom Capt. Aver said that
their profession would mot be stti-
cient to protect them"
In February, 1902. Gen. Smith, the
brigadier commander in Samar, an
nounced that he was convinced Oppo-
sition had been crumbled away and
counseled softening of the rigors Of
war saving "watchfulneSS and kind
illness henceforth must go hand in
hand"
In December, 1901, Gen. J. E. Bell
issued a circular saying:
Whenever prisoners are unarmed or
defenSelesS Americans or natives
friendly to the United States govern
ment or murdered or asSinated for
political reasons, and this fact can be
established it is his purpose to execute
a prisoner of war under the authority
contained in sections SO and 14S. This
prisoner of war will be selected by lot
from among the officers or prominent
citizens held as prisoners Of war, and
will be chosen when practicable from
those who belong to the town where
the murder or assassination occurred"
Several orders were issued by Gen.
Bell against permitting any monopoly
of food products and extortion in
prices.
Instructions were given to make ex-
ceptions to all persons who had demon
strated loyalty. There lives, families
and property will not only be given
protection, so far as practicable,
against insurgents. but will be care
fully respected by our troops"
Especial warning is given against
looting.

Dickens Was Right.

Charles Dickens, on a dinner given
1T a notable agricultural occasion,
took the position that THE field it
paid the farmer best to cultivate was
the one within the fence Of his own
skull" What Dickens said was a
serious truth, though comparatively
few at the time he said it we're able
from insight to accept it as such.
Now it is generally allowed in all civ
iliZnd countries.
