Will Widen the Oil Field.

Capt. Geo. H. Howe, of Howison,
Miss. was here two or three days this
week investigating the oil situation.
After seeing the amount and quality
of oil pumped out of the well now be-
ing drilled, he concluded that the in
dications for a vast supply of oil were
as good or better here than anywhere
in the South, and accordingly pur-
chased forty acres some distance from
the we'll of G. L. Taggart, paying
s., 900 for the tract.
Capt. Howe is an oil man of expe-
rience, as he was among the first to
enter the Texas field and has been
very successful in the business. He
is interested at Beaumont, Sour Lake
and is at present having we'll bored
at Spring Hill, Texas. He owns his
own outfits and says as soon as the
Spring Hill we'll is completed he will
bring his apparatus here and begin
sinking a well on his Welsh holdings,
which he claims will be within 60 days.
The captain seems confident that he
will have oil, In which event the area
of the Welsh field will be cOnSidera-
bly, broadened. While we have no
eusher yet the quality of the oil al
really secured and the strong pressure
of gas are causing prospectors to
flock here from all parts of the coun-
try and many are investing in real
estate

Gen, Jase Smith AdmoniShed.

Kill and Burn Orders.

Washington. July 16. -Secre-
tary Root brought from Oyster
Bay the caae Of Gen. Jacob II.
Smith, tried by court-martial at
Manila on account of the order S
issued TO Major Waller.
Gen. Smith was found guilty
of the charges by the court and
sentenced to be admonished bv
the reviewing authority. The
President has SO admonished Gen
Smith, and retired him under the
law which provides that ofiicres
having reached the age of SO
years, may be retired at will by
the President.
Secretary Root supplements
the reprimand of President Roose-
welt in a long circular, in which
he explains the conditions which
resulted IN the court-martial of
Gen. Smith and shows that, al.
though Smith issued the "klll and
burn" order, as matter of fact
very few persons were killed as
the result of that order, the cas-
ualties being confined almost who'll
ly to the eleven natives killed un-
der Major Waller's direction.

tions:
Very favorable temperatures

lattc' have suffered somewhat
from excessive heat, but have re-
ceived much needed rains, reliev-
ing to a great extent The severe
drought.
The corn crop, as whole, in
the principal States has made very
favorable progress. In the
southern States late corn has i'm
proved somewhat, but the early
corn crop is very poor.
Winter wheat harvest is about
completed, except in the northern
portion of the winter wheat belt.
Spring wheat is new heading in

wheat region and the general
-
outlook continues promising.
Oats continue in promising con-
dition.
A general improvement in the
condition of cotton is indicated.

tensively reported. In texas, ex-
cept in the region of drought

The Gates Corner in Corn Ter
inmates by Private Settlement

Chicago, July Is. The famous
John w. Gates corner in July
corn came to an abrupt termina-
ton to-day when 1T became known
that shorts to the extent of a good
many million bushels had effected
private settlement with Harris,
Gates & Co., and that tho deal
was at an end SO far as the steel
magnate was concerned. The
July price of then settled took
quick dropto 651 Later it re-
covered a fraction and closed at
65a, su bstantialIy the price cf the
cash article. Just how many
bushels were subject to private
settlement will probably never be
known, or ID there much chance
that the identity or the "oig fell
lows" in the trade who doubtless
contributed literally to the fortu-
mes of Mr.. Gates and the friends
associated with him in tho deal
will ever be positively known.
1t is estimated that Mr.. Gates
profit will no exceed 81, 500, 900.
This amouut will be divided up
bst Hwen ten or dozen million
aires who were interested in the
deal.

string the rural free delivery ser
vice must erect ut his cost and by
the roadside, SO that the carrier

Tried 20 Howl Down Ex-Goyer-
Eor Evans.

Special to The State.
Charleston, July 15.-The
senatorial and congressional caudi>
dates meeting was held in the
Hibernian hall at S O'clock this
evening in the presence of 500
people.
The only incident of the meet
ing was the thwarting of a preal-
ranged plan to howl down ex-
Governor Evans. 1t was reports
cd on the streets this evening that
such an attempt would be made
and friends of all the candidates
went diligently to work to prev
ent it. Be it said to the credit
of the better element of citizen
ship in Charleston the disgrace
was narrowly averted. The world
applauds manly man, whatever
or whoever he may be, and had
not Mr., Evans pursued the course
he did he would have had to sue
cumb to the inevitable.
He hurled no defiance at these
people US in the days of yore, he
made no threats or boasts, but
simply stood his ground and never
yielded an inch. He made his
speech and finished his allotted
time amid applause. Credit Is
due Chairman Thayer, who oreer-
ed the police to remove from the
hall one yonng man who seemed
to be leader of the mob.
Another thing was demonstrate

not the patience to sit up in hot
halls and court houses aud listen

ed in the summer school of educa-
ton II month ago against Com

ton is settled in South Carolina.

alities were indulged in nor was
any reference made to the incid-
ent.
Strange to say there were no
Farmers among the candidates
nor was any reference made to
what "wc farmers did in 80
and '92, in fact the "farmer
candinate' was by far the most
dudishly attired candidate on the
stage and the Irshmen mistook
him for "Mickey." That ac-
counts for the cordial reception
extended him. Col. Elliott's
ovation was almost equal to the
one accorded him IN George
