Navy Department Notified.

Just before the departure Of the Allan
tic fleet from Gibraltar this morning for
Hampton roads Rear Admiral Sperry sent
a dispatch to the Navy Department say
ing that the court-martal in the case of
Capt. Edward F. Qualtrough of the bat
tleship Georgia. had found him guilty of
conduct to the prejudice of good order
and military discipline, and sentenced him
to six months suspension and to lose ten
numbers in his grade. 1t was stated also
that Lieut.. Commander George w. Kline.
temporarily in command of the Georgia.
would remain in command until after the
arrival of the feet In Hampton roads.
1t was stated at the Navy Department
today that no one had yet been selected
to succeed Capt. Qualtrough in command
of the Georgia. but that selection would
be made by the time the vessel arrives in
Hampton roads. Commander Kline will
bring the vessel home and will be in COM
mand during the review of the fleet the

1t is said to be not improbable that
Commander William S. Sims, the Presi-
dents naval aid. who has not been TO
sea since October. 1902. may be given the
assignment. although 1t is usual to limit
the command of battleships to captains.
Although the finding of the court-mar-
tia in the case of Capt. Qualtrough is
final and cannot be changed. ii is within
the power of the President to change the
sentence. II desired, by remitting the
loss of numbers and reducing the period
of suspension. The friends of Capt. Quail
trough will undoubtedly endeavor to Sc
cure executive clemency for the officer.

no part of Florence county is to be

Some little changes in the line be-
low Cades will also be made. Now
that the vote for new county will
be confined to Williamsburg and a
small part of Clarendon, which We
understand IL almost unanimously in
favor, we have no doubt that the
new county will win. 1t begins to
look as though the taking of Hanna
and Pee Dee in the origin petition
were ruse intended to keep Kings
tree in the dark. Mr. Welch was the
attorney who successfully piloted
Calhoun through legal mires and IS
now engaged in Dillon's behalf.
It will not be necessary for the
people of Florence to give further
concern to this matter,as the inform

riously injured.

Late last night Bert Johnson
was placed under arrest by Spe'
cial Officer r E mcknight and
put in the guard house. Friends
of the job nson-Lee faction pro.
tested against the arrest, and the
lives OF witnesses at the investi-
cation were freely threatened.
The Scranton mayor, MIR NJ L
Gasque, on the advice of Mr.
Wharton, wired the Governor as
follows:
Lives of witnesses testify ing
before deputy insurance COM
missioner concerning recent fires
here are threatened by accused.
Advise me quick
The Governor replied:
If parties threaten lives of
witnesses take out criminal
warrants against them and have
them arrested. Send for sheriff
to protect Witnesses
The understanding is that the
sheriff is now at Scranton in
charge of the situation, though
he had not been sent for at the
time Mr. Wharton left last night,
and the Governor has heard no
thing further this morning.
The marshal of the town, Mr.
s N Welcb, made an affidavit be-
fore Mr. Wharton that Lee was
carrying a repeating shotgun
about with him, saying the wit
nesses were up to some damned
and that he proposed
to kill zone damned man" if he
testified against him. The mayor
also reported that Lee was
making threats. The old negro,
Charlie Tate, came to the deputy
commissioner after this and re-
ported that he had been warned
by Charlie johnson that he
would catch h. from P NJ Lee
that night. Mr. Wharton asked
Mr. Lee to protect the poor old
negro and advised telegraphing
for the sheriff.
Mr. RIB Cannon, of Cannon &
Jackson, insurance agents, with
whom Lee insured his stock for
$4,000 in August and an addi-
tional $1,000 in November, made
an affidavit that Lee hurried to
them $50 in payment in full of
all premiums, late the night OF
the fire, which occurred about 4
o'clock the next morning. He
also stated in his affidavit that
Lees brother,R L Lee of Charles
