If the story reproduced from the New
York Evening Post is true, the presi-
dent does not show up SO badly in the
Miles matter as was reported. The
character of General Miles is not alto
gether admirable. There is no doubt
of the fact that the old fellow is disposed
to greatly exaggerate his personal
Importance, and he really had no busi-
ness to express himself on the Schley
matter. If it is a fact that President
Roosevelt undertook to give General
Miles gratuitous tongue lashing in ad-
dition to the formal reprimand that had
been administered through the proper
official channels, then the president
showed up small even as compared to
Miles. But the testimony as it now ap-
pears, favors the president, and the
probability is that after all Miles is de-
serving of no sympathy.

LOCKHART LINKLETs.

York People Mt LOckhart-Shooting
Anair-Dr. Hope Goes to Union.
LocKHART, Janaury 6.-Quite num-
Der Of people have been moving to
Lockhart during the past few weeks,
among them Messrs. Julius A. Hope,
Lester Good and William Love from
York county. The available houses are
pretty generally occupied and the pop
ulation Of the town is larger than 1t has
ever been..
George Sealy, white, shot and serious
ly wounded John Littlejohn, colored, on
last Friday. Sealy's bullet penetrated
Littlejohn's right lung and has not
been located. There were no witnesses
and the stories Of the respective par
ties to the shooting vary. Sealy claims
that he did the shooting in self-defense;
that Littlejohn was advancing toward
him with a pitchfork. After the shoot
ing Sealy gave himself up to an officer
Of the law; but changed his mind on
his way to Union, about going to jail
and made his escape. He Is still at
large.
Engineer D. P. Poore, who has been
running on the Lockhart branch Of the
Southern, has been transferred to the
main line, and Engineer John Neil Is
now running in the place left vacant
on the Lockhart branch.
DR.. w. D. Hope has moved to the
plantation he recently purchased from
Mr.. Charles Farrar and is now a citi-
zen of Union county.

The Rebuff of Miles.

So many ridiculous exaggerations
have crept into print and club CONVEX
sation regarding the interview in which
the president is said to have rebuked
General Miles in the presence Of a
roomful Of visitors, that 1t is just as
we'll that the actual facts should be set
before the public.
General Miles visited the White
House last Saturday afternoon, evil
IDENTIFY with view of heading off, by a
personal appeal to the president, his i'm
pending reprimand. He was ushered
into the ante-room where a number of
other visitors were gathered, including
senators, representatives, executive Of
ficers of the government. When the
president entered and began max
ing his rounds as usual he swept with
his eye the group of men present and,
as General Miles advanced toward
him, waved his hand towards the door
Of the cabinet room and said: I'm mo-
ment, general; will see you in there. "
Ordinary visitors accept this as a
compliment, it being the presidents
habit to direct them towards the cabi-
net room If he wishes to see them in
private, and there was nothing in his
manner towards the general to indicate
that he was not as well pleased with the
latter's visit as with any of the others
Of the afternoon. Ignoring the sug-
gestion, however, the general pushed
himself forward and insisted on de-
tanning the president and having his
interview then and there. 1t was obvi-
ously annoying to the president, but
with no indication Of impatience he led
the general aside and they had a few
whispered words, which appeared to be
argument, and in the course Of which
both voices grew louder and more dis
tinct. The discussion ended with an
expression of dissatisfaction from the
president with the generals errand and
a declaration that he wished to hear no
more of it. This is assumed to have ap-
piled to the Schley controversy, which
the president is bound to choke off
without mercy as far as concerns the
services directly under his command.
1t was not an agreeable incident, but
General Miles provoked it as deliber-

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.
The Nicaragua Canal Matter Has the
Right of Way.

The Nicaragua Canal Matter Has the
Right of Way.
After a recess Of three weeks, both
houses of congress convened on Mon
day, says Washington special of
Sunday. The principal item on the
house programme for the week is the
Hepburn isthmian canal bill which was
the special order for Tuesday. No linn
it has been fixed as to the time for de-
bate upon this measure; but Mr.. Hep
burn does not contemplate a pro-
longed discussion of it. It is surmised
in some quarters, however, that If the
proposition Of the Panama Canal COM
pany to sell its property and franchise
for s40,000,0 1000 should be made, as prom
ised, this may have the effect Of open
ing a wider field Of discussion than at
should prove to be the case the bill
may be before the house for longer
time than is now contemplated. Mr.
Burton has given notice Of speech on
the bill and it is understood that there
also will be other speeches in criticism
Of special features Of the measure; but
its friends are very sanguine, not only
that the bill will pass but that it will
pass speedily. Mr.. Hepburn, the author
of the bill thinks that only few days
Of debate will be necessary.
1t is expected that by the time the
canal bill is disposed of there will be
one or more appropriation bills ready
for consideration by the house. None
Of the appropriation bills have yet been
passed on by the appropriations COM
mittee, but both the urgent deficiency
and the pension bills are in a forward
state and the expectation Is that they
will be considered by the committee
during the current week. The present
intention is to give first attention to
the deficiency bill. The estimates for
that bill aggregate about s12,OO0,oOe
and it is not believed that these figures
will be scaled down materially.
The senate has no programme for the
week and very little business on its cal
endar, as the reorganization Of the SEN
ate committees did not take place until
just before the holidays. There are,
however, a few bridge bills reported,
and Senator Morgan's bill for the &C.
QUESTION of right Of way for the Nicar-
aqua canal is among the measures In
position to receive attention. 1t is not
probable, however, that the right OF
way bill will receive consideration at
this time, the disposition being rather
to await the action of the house upon
the general subject, and then the sem
ate predicate its action on the house
bill. If this course should be decided on
the discussion Of the canal question In
the senate will be postponed for few
weeks. The committee on the Philip
pines will take up the Philippine tariff
question very soon, but there is yet no
indication as to how much time the
matter may consume in committees.
Hence there is no probability that the
senate itself will be able TO reach that
question for some time. Senator Frye
is engaged on his report on the ship
ping bill but it not yet able to fix the
time for its completion.

REPRESENTATIVE Of the Panama
Canal company have made a formal
offer to sell the concessions and prop
critics of the company to the United
States for s40.OOO,OOO. Had that offer
been made at the outset it would have
been accepted very likely; but whether
it will be accepted now is doubtful.
There is reason to fear that it will only

men on Saturday night.
The salesday crowd Monday was
rather small for January salesday. All
sections of the county, however, were
we'll represented, and it was a good
day for business.
There was such a small attendance
on the Saturday normal in Yorkville
last Saturday that it was decided not
to attempt to hold the exercises. The
failure Of the teachers to attend was at
tributed to the bitterly cold weather.
Mr.. T. T. Allen died suddenly at
the York Cotton mills on Sunday, and
was buried in the Yorkville cemetery
on Monday. He was a Confederate
veteran and leaves widow, one son
and two daughters. The family came
to the vicinity Of Yorkville some ten or
twelve years ago and has been living
at the York Cotton mills for year or
more.
The correctness as to statement In
the last issue Of THE ENQUIRER as to
local cotton receipts has been question
ed, and, the reporter Is convinced, very
properly. According to that statement
there was a difference Of only 21 bales
In the receipts for the four months end
ing January 1, 1901, and the four months
ending January 1, 1902. During the first
mentioned period the receipts were CIV
en- as 4,6S3 bales, and during the second
mentioned period, as 1852 bales. The
figures included only the cotton that
was handled by Messrs. Riddle & Car
roll, ]. P. White, Moore, Springs 6 Co.,
J. M. Heath & Co., Latta Bros, and
Beard & Carroll. Mr.. J. B. Pegram
advises us that in partnership with Mr..
John M. Hope, he handled about zoe
bales Of cotton during the first season
against none during the second. This
would give the 1901 season large ex-
cess over the 1902 season. Still further
inquiry develops the fact that much OF
the cotton that was credited to the
1901 season was counted twice by rea-
son Of it's having been transferred from
one local buyer to another. From such
information as has been gathered or
the subject, the reporter would say that
the 1901 receipts were several hundred
bales heavier than those Of 1902; but
for the reasons stated, 1t Is practically
impossible to give exact figures.
