WOMAN LRAvEs HOME
Mr.. johnson Greatly Distressed Over
Wife's. Departure Barking OF
Dog and Dream.

Spartanbutg Journal, 25tbs ". 81
Mrs. II w. Johhssoi,5eage rs Years,
is missing from her home and her hus-
band is greatly distressed ,becnuse, of
tho mysterious disappearance Of his
wife. E. lE#
Mr.. johnson lives near MotloW 5
Creek church, several miles from
Campobello. On Monday morning ho
visited .Campobollo in search Of tho
missing woman, though rs yet he lins
received no information concerning
hcr whereabouts. While at Campo
bcllo on Monday he told several par
tics tho circumstances of the disap-
pcarancc OF Mrs. Johnson, all, of
which arc most remarkable. @Gn=
Hc says that he and Mrs, Johnson
retired at tho usual hour Sunday
night and shortly after retiring they
were disturbed by the barking OF a
dog and acting as though someone
was about the promises. Mr.. john
son says that he got out of bod and
made an investigation, but could find
no one. He returned to his bed and
soon fell asleep and dreamed n most
distressing dream. When he awoke
he called to his wifc to relate tile ter
rible dream he had just had, but to
his utter astonishment and surprise
he found that Mrs. Johnson was gone.
Hc made careful search of the house
for hcr, but without success. She had
disappeared completely. Thinking,
perhaps, that his wife had gone to the
house of neighbor for some cause,
though for what reason she left home
in the night he did not know, he call
ed at the homes of several neighbors
and told them of the disappearance of
his wife, related the circumstances of
the barking dog and the dreadful
dream, but no trace of the missing
woman was found. ...
Mr.. johnson is very much Distress
ed over the affair and wishes as much
publicity as possible given t6 the dis
of the opinion that his wife has elop=
cd with another man and it is pOssi-
bic that she can be located at some Of
the cotton mills in Spartanburg or
Greenvillc county.
Hc describes his wife as being akc@:
25 years of age, five feet three inches
tall, weighs about 130 pounds. She
has brown hair, blue eyes and fair
complexion. He is poor man and if
any one can give him information as
to the whereabouts Of his wife he will
feel grateful. He says he has no
money to spend in trying to locate
her and invites newspaper publica-
tion of her disappearance with the
hope of locating her. His address is

That Chinese Boycott Hammer.

That Chinese Boycott Hammer.
The cotton bear element is now cir-
culating the news that all American
spinncrs, that supply tho heavy cot
ton goods trade to China. are now
turning their attention to finer goods,
and, in consequence Of this, are using
only about half the amount of cotton
they formerly used in this Chinese
trade. Consumers aud spectators arc
using this fact to hammer down prices
when. in reality, ii makes little or
no difference whether England or
America makes the cloth for the Chi
nrsc trade; in either ease American
cotton will have to he considered in
this thing just the same. Really. we
want some of our smart cotton men
to tell us the difference about who
makes tho cotton goods if our Ameri-
can cotton has to be considered in the
supply Of tho raw material for this
Chinese shirt. Now, if these cotton
bears will show us that these China
men arc to reduce the length Of their
shirts or go without kimonaS. then
there might be some logical reason for
producers to become alarmed, but sly
long rs Chinese babies and others are
born naked this American cotton will
have to he considered us constituting
about eight -tcnthS of the raw material
that goes into their clothing, and we
are in doubt as to whether it makes
very much difference as to who makes
the cloth.

EVEN FRIENDS ARE SUSPECTED
Motives of the Members of Veterans
Peace Committee Mistrusted

By Associated Press.
HAVANA, Sept. 1.-THE Sovernment
of Cuba now views with suspicion not
only its political opponents, but also
many of those whom it has hitherto
trusted as friends.
The government, it is learned, has
suspected for several days that even
some of the members of the veterans
peace committee desired to turn their
peace making into practical liberal
victory. The veterans deny this in
sinuation. They are all apparently
solely interested, for the moment at
least, in securing peace.
When General Menocal was ques-
toned on the subject he glanced at the
clock and declared that he had hoped
that by that hour the whole matter
would have been definitely settled. He
had a telegram from Pine Guerrero
expressing the leaders willingness to
accept terms to which the government
did not object.
Others among the veterans for peace
said they were not joining the rebels
or thinking of doing so. They said the
case was not hopeless, inasmuch as
the insurgents were willing to nego-
tiate.
Rumors are persstently rife that the
government was assured of the back
ing of the United States before the
issuance of the fresh declaration Of
war

MADE CHIEF PAYMASTER
COL Sniffen Succeeds Gen. Dodge, and
Promotions Follow for Comeeys,
Halford and Lynch
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-Word was
received at the war department to-
night from Oyster Bay that President
Roosevelt has appointed Col. Culver C.
Sniffen to be paymaster general of the
army to succeed Gen. Dodge, who re-
tires today.
The new paymaster has been in the
service since March 13, 1877.
Col. Towar of the pay corps was
the ranking officer, but he does not re-
tire until nearly two years after Gen.
Sniffen and he waived his seniority in
favor of his junior so that Gen. Sniffen
might become a brigadier general be-
fore he reaches the age of retirement.
Gen. Sniffen will serve until June 1,
1908.
The retirement of Gen. Dodge caused
a number of other promotions, namely:
Lieut.. Col. William II. Comegys, to be
colonel; Maj. Elijah w. Halford to be
lieutenant colonel. and Capt. John r.
Lynch to be major. Col. Comegys has
been in the pay corps since 1881. when
he was appointed from Ohio. Col.
Halford was private secretary to Presi-
dent Harrison. Maj. Lynch was once
member of the house of representa-
tives from Mississippi and was later
fourth auditor of the treasury. He is

which was finally won by r. NJ. Fitz-

ward White of Santa Cruz. The fight
proved to be an unusually close one,
Fitzgerald receiving 379 votes while
S45 votes were cast for his opponent.
Fitzgerald had the support of the
delegates led by Gavin McNab of San

from what is termed the country
districts voted for White. The latter is

J. Mcdonald Of Alameda rose to place
the name Of r. NJ. Fitzgerald before
the convention.
"Mr Fitzgerald is eminently quail
fed, fair and impartial" said Mr.. Nc
Donald.
w. r.. Jacobs Of stockton urged Ed
ward White as a candidate for the
chairmanship.
While the roll was being called, a
disagreement arose among the mem
bers Of the Thirtieth Assembly district
as to how the 13 votes Of the delegates
should be cast
Former District Attorney Bylngton
OF San Francisco objected to the pres
ence Of William Bell I'm the delegation
on the ground that Bell was a Republi-
can and had sat In the convention ct

the argument over the ballotinR, but
he finally left the hall when continued
objections were made to his presence
During the discussion sergeants-at-

said In part:
"A Democratic convention would not
be complete unless there was some
Of q
wise choice for chairman and I now
hope you will nominate for governor a
man that will carry off the honors on
election day."
Significant remarks were made by
Temporary Chairman Fitzgerald In his
speech of acceptance. He denied the
insinuation that has been made that
he Is a corporation man.
II am not a corporation man, as has
been intimated," said Fitzgerald. "It
is time for the people to take notice
cation to party bosses in order to Sc
cure his nomination, as was observed
at convention not long ago.
Untrammeled Judiciary
ut is time for us to take our judiciary
out of politics Our system of govern
ment is wrong and false unless we can
have an untrammeled judiciary.
This country must revise its tariff
system, for we now have several large
