LAURENS S. C, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1900.
NO. 16.
IN A SINGLE NIGHT.
The Terrible Trial of a Young
Wife I,eft on Guard.
" What a beautiful young woman !
And yet her hair ib white ad snow."
"And hi r complexion fresh as is h
chilli' Strange, la it cot v"
Thus spoke two h ungers on a hotel
porch. Hut they did not know the his
torv of that snowy hair.
From tho time Harry Wells fell ;i
lovo with Mamlo Clausen at church
social? until the marriage in the F is.
Frobbytcrian ch.ureb, tho entire com
raunity gave minute consideration u
to~.ir alTalrd. Mamie's father, John
Clauson, was a prominent OOOQiniSSiou
morchant in a Pennsylvania town,
goneraliy considered wealthy, and a<
ways lived like u man of means
Mamie waa pretty, dashing, a local
bollo, and a general favorite. Harry's
family lived a few mi lea from town,
nd thoy, too, wero people ol reputa
tion in the county.
The marriage in every way a
suitable ono Ilarry was idueatod at
Prlncotin, and although he had atone
time the reputation ol being wild, he
had sobered down and was such a
f runic, manly young fellow that no was
grnorally forgiven any Indiscretion.
Toe marriage wks the oocaslou of
general rejoicing. Mamies father
gave hor an unusually good send-otT,
and the details were sent far and widi
through tho State. Harry hud studied
law for a while and had settled down
Into a country notary, drawing up
deeds, and doing haeuwork of that
sort. They llvod about four miles out
of town, and two miles from old John's.
Uo had built them a pretty modern
cottage on a detached oortion of bis
farm. Harry had hist 111 je, an orna
mental little structure, a lew rods froui
the house, aud there trey lived as
happy as two birds.
Gradually Harry picked up businoss,
and finally, through Ills father, he he
came truoteo for some minor heirs.
They were an od- lot of children, ff Ith
a half crazy mother, and no end of
coal lands and mining Investments. Ii
was a good thing for Ilarry, although
it gave a naturally lazy man some ad
ditional w0''k. Tho worst thing whs I
that it obliged him to go to Sennit ui
now and then, and leave Mamio. When
IItrry had to go away Mamie would
get in her pnaeton and drive to town,
and there were always some of the
young people ready to go out and beep
her company. Ilarry always InslstoJ
that she most not stay alone. For a
law-abiding S ate, Pennsylvania has a
pretty rough element in it, and there
is a general sense of uneasiness.
Oae August afternoon Harry had an
unexpected summons to go to Scrantoo
about a suit clnnected with the minor
heirs. Ho had recently sold somo of
thoir property and had been making
various collections, which left in his
bands hbojt $4,500. When ho found
tnat ho had to go oil at a few moments'
notice ho wrapped up a bundle of
papers and thig money and took them
Into, the houso. Mamio was making
preparations for a pionlo they were to
go to the nt xt day, and begged him to
wait until the day after.
"Hut, my dear child, I haven't time
even to go to town and put these in
tho bacU, to you'll have to take care of
thorn. I'll try and get back in two
days at the furthest, meanwhile no
body will know that the money is
hero."
Then he explained to her the value
of tho papers and handed her a canvas
bag, Id wulch win the $4,000 belonging
to the minor heirs.
" Whera will I keep It, Harry? B.<
tweon tbo mattresses ?''
"Just like a woman ! No. Hut 1
declare 1 don't know where to tell you.
The most Insecure place apparently is
often tho most secure. Any place,
dear, but between tho maltreaso . I
leave that to you. Hut you must guard
it, If necessary, witn your life ; for re
member the money is not ours, and at
all hazards 1 am responsible. I dou't
really suppost mere is the least danger,
for no one kno ws I ha"o it. Hut one
ought to take proper precautions, and
I beg of you not to admit any tramps
while I am gone. Teil Sarah not even
to allow them to eat a biscuit."
"All right, dear ; v. e won't lot the
trampa have a drink, even, and 1 11
take caro of tho money, you may bi
sure."
Harry bade his wife g< od-hye, and
Mamie gave up the picnic. At the
end of two days she reocivod a ol -
gram from him, saying he had been
detained, and telling her to got some
one to stay with her fc r two days,
when he would be at home. Sho drove
Into town and ono of hor old friends
wont out with her. At tho end of two
days sho had another telegram saying
that he waa detained until the next
day. Her friend went homo, and in
plaoo of Harry camo a third telegram,
and so evory day for ton dnys ho wa?
expeoted homo, and overy dify camo a
disappointing telegram. Hy this time
she bad becomo accustomed to her
charge, which she had set llko a ban
of sood beans in a corner of a dark
cloeot opening from her room.
The afternoon of tho tenth day was
a hot, murky afternoon. Mamie hao
gone upstairs to take a nap and ro
fresh beforo dressing to meet Harry,
who was expected home after the
longest ah.-enee he hud over made from
her.
After a time Sarah camo up and tolii
her there was a tramp down sta'rs
who wantod something to oat und win
would not be driven ell.
" You oughtn't to leave him a
minute alono, Sarah. Go down am;
watch him, and I will come down uno
send him oil."
Sho dressed hi rself q sickly and
went down stairs, tur prised m Ii i?
how late it had gn wn. W i n .du
reached thokltchtn she found a'soa
messenger with ai other telegram,
but tho next day without fall, ll.i'-ry
wrote, ho would be homo A; rh
turned into tho kitel on Mamie hoard
tho tramp and Sarah In ev del dis
pute.
" Yes," said the fol'ow, " vthon that
time comes your m stress will hav<
another ronlng table, bclpi you, in
stead of wearing h? r Sunda, clothe*
every day."
"An' spoil In* everything feme t?
do over. 1 think I seo hor. I've wort
enough to do," answered tnc hones.
Sarah, not lndispcsod to have a chai
over hor work.
Mamlo found a gracohs - ooklnp
fellow, unbhftvon and llhdrosaed, who,
with a certain gentlemanly instinct
rose up as she came In.
?' 1 suppose my girl told you vvc had
nothing lor you, and that It will ben
great kindness if you will lea/e as soot
as possible."
" Yes, she did just that, madam, bu
I took it upon myself to beiiovo that it
wasn't so urgent. Tho tru'h is, I'd
very hupgry and dead tlrid, and 1
d'dn't behove but that you would glvt
mo something to oat; at lcaut iv
waited to ask you in pcrton."
Women are soft-hoartod creatures.
Mamie went and got him something t.<
cat herself. The darkness that nan

i those terrific thunderstorms hut gath
I or to rapidly ui d ?villi such force in

?<l>i nt there fell tteady sheets of ruin
hut brought the creek over the bridge*
? i furo morning.
" Mud tin, it's no use talking. You
I can't send u fellow out in such u s'.orin,"
.-uid the trump, us the three t>tood on
the porco watching the storiu.
"Im sorry, hut I've no place for
you."
" What! in u house like thleV 1 .'.
a pity theio laU't a cranny for a?to-a

" You are very liupcrtlni nt. I t. !;
you 1 have no place for you, aid the
storm is already breaking a.v iy."
Hveu as sue spoke the ra.u came
down in blinding sheets, and llg'utnlug
streaked tho heavone.
"Woll," he said carelessly, "wo don't
go much on manners on tho road, t_ut
I know I wouldn't send a dog out such
anight as thle. I'm not a particular
chup, leastwise not nowadays, and 1\1
have to Insist on your giviug mj some
sort of shelter, If it's ouly In your dog
kennel.''
The man spoke with decision. Mamie
felt that after all tney were really In
r.is power.
"1 will keep you on ono condition,"
sho said. ''There Is u loft to the
house, a sort of garret, which is vory
comfortable. It is closed with a trap
door, and you may tloep on tho lounge
there if you will allow us to lock tho
door ou tho outside."
" Bless my stars and garters !" ho
said, looking; at her curiously. " [
don't cure If you lock the door."
Tney took him upstairs, and ho
el Imbed up tho steep attic stairs. Tho
women shut tho door as ho politely
huil-3 them good-night, and they fasten
ed the padlock, hearing Ikiin chuckle
to himself as he kicked off his boots.
"I'd lake tho koy, mum," said Sarah.
Mamlo took tho key with her and
the two descended to shut up the
uous3. After thoy had made every
thing secure they went back Upstars.
" You must sleep in my room to
night, Sarah," tho mistress said.
Sarah dragged In her bedding and
made a pallet on the floor, and then,
after the custom of women, they ex
amined the closets, looked under the
bed and oiled tho ohulrs against tho
locked door. The rain was still fall
ing heavily and the night black ub
Irk. The mistress and maid went to
bej, and, although worried and anxious,
went to sleep.
After midnight Mamlo found Inr
SOlf awake and u bright light shining
in the room. Sue started up uud saw
that it was the moonlight. The storm
had cleared away at last. She got up,
unable to compose herself Immediate
ly, und wont to tho window. The
moon was shining brightly. As she
stood looking at tho peaceful scone
oofore her sho saw uwny down the
road, for it was as bright as day,
several horsemen, it was such an un
usual sight at this hour th'it sho stood
watching them us thoy camu nearer.
To her surprise, they turned uo tho
lane leading toward her house, and on
reaching the gate came into tho yurd.
aho was ulmost paralyzed with fear.
The truth 11 tshed across her. Thoy
must have learned that she was alone?
that she had this money, und thoy had
come to get it. For a moment she was
|jarul}/..d. She remeinlercdf Harry's
last words : " You must guard it with
your life if necessary."
Sho ran to the a'ooplnp Sarah and
wakened her. Sho got down Harry's
r 11 \ Tho sleeping girl was soon
thorough../ a.vuke, and she explained
to her their condition.
" It's the tramp that's done It."
"The tramp? No. Surah, the key,
the key of the attic.''
She 11 ;w up the Stairs, unlocked the
padlocks and opened the trup. The
man sprang up at the sound.
'"Come, eomo witn mo." His own
senses alert and hearing tho noise of
who horse below and the steps about
the house, ho followed her without u
word. At the foot of the stairs sho
stopped.
'? I have a large sum of money in tho
house, and those men havo eomo to get
it, thioking I am alone If they kill me
that money must bo guarded."
What have you ? 1'istols, shot
guns?" ho whispered, taking in tho
wtiolo situation.
" Hero is my husband's rills. It is
loaded."
" Hist ! Whoro are they going to
brouk in?" Tho ?tops came boldly on
tho piazza to tho front door.
"(Jet behind mc. 1 will lire at the
lirst man who enters. How many bar
rels arc thoro ?''
"Six, all loaded."
" Vo.-y well. Keep this cano iu your
hand for mo iu cuso 1 need it."
"There was DO storming of shutters.
They heard tho key applied to tho
door softly. It ope.nod, and u man fol
lowed by two others confidently en
tered. Tho ^rst fiu'uro walked direct
ly to tho stairs. He hud taken but ?
step when thrco shots camo in rapid
succession. There was a heavy thud ;
this man dropped and the other two
turned and tied. Sarah ran to the
window und two horses galloped down
the luno.
" Don't faint, madam ; thoro is work
yet to do," said the tramp.
Mamio cuught hold of the rail for
support, and Uiod wont Into the room.
" Got a cundlo. Surah."
They lighted a candle and gavo It to
the trnmp, who wont down stuirs, the
two women following with brandy unu
Arnrr-on'tt. Tho man bad fallen back
a ?rd and lay-with his faco and bond
toward tho door.
" Aha," said tho tramp curiously,
holding tho light and peering into the
dead mao's face, " he's fixed. Shot
through tho head*"
Mamio advanced and gazed at the
vhito face, uorOSS which a thin, d. ath
like stream cf blood wus trickling.
Sho fell buck with a wild shriek.
It wus her rusbana's dead body
which lay before her.?Argonaut.

If a tniin can dodge around tho 20th
contury question it la a Utting time for
him to consider tho shrinkage of timo
slnco ho was a boy, and to ponder upon
tho reason why tho jeira grow shorter
and shorter as he grows older and wiser,
and how tho period Is surely com log
when there will bo no yearn or months
and time will he no more. According
to scripture tills thing called timo is a
perishable, elastic and compressible
jroatlon adapted to man in his state of
probation and not at all necessary to
the.Croalor who said " hoforo tho world
was made I am." God al ways speaks of
himself in tho present tei.s) "lam."
H i Is one eternal DOW without bigln
nitig of years or ond of days. We can
not comprehend this, but as wo near
the goal we can almost catch a glimpse
of its possibility. That time is com
pres?iblo and elastic all of us havo cx
perl?noed for sometimes the hoars
seem very long and sometimes vcrv
short. In uir dreams wo sometimes
condense hours and dayB of events in a
few delirious moments. 1 Dover shall
lorgot tho anxiety anil agony of a long
elTort to keep my brother from lighting
a duel and now I helped to write all
tho correj^pondence between him aim
his adversary and how at tho last tho
duel could not he avoided and how 1
carefully selected and loaded his pistol
and measured olT the distance ami then
made another effort to pacify and ad
just and prevent the duel, hut all in
vain, and he stood to tho mark
and hred and fell. Tho report of
a gun that was tired at tho back of our
bouse at a squirrel awaked mo and it
was this report that condensed all tho
long trait* of thought and events into a
mom nt's spac 3. My wife was sitting
by my bedsldo with nor hand uuon my
feveri&h brow and declared I had not
boen usleep more than a minute?and
yet I remembered every lino aud word
of that correspondence, and when 1 re
covered from my fover could repeat it.
Tho timo of hours was condens id into
momen's Just so those who were
thought to bo drowned and were resus
citated tell us that a panorama of their
whole life came before them as they
lost consciousness. lOvery word and
thought and deed and every scene they
had witnessed from their childhood
was as vivid anil real if It were just,
transpiring. There can bo CO doubt
about this experienceOi many persons.
It is well coo fir med.
We are just on the verge of know
ing wonderful things and my faith U
that wo wili know when wo put off this
mortal coll and our souls are released
and free. Wo havo implanted with
in us a spark of divinity, but only a
spark.
But all s how little we do know and
how utterly helpless we are. We know
not whence wo come, nor whither wo
are jjolng. We cannot mako one hair
white or black. We nan not tell by what
mysterious power we raise our hands
or move our feet, or wink our eyelashes.
Wo cannot add a day or an hour to our
ilved, nor foresee the accidents Unit
may befall us as we, move t) and fro on
the land or sea. We cannot escape the
pestilence that walkoth at noonday nur
make ourseives secure against (ire and
Hood and famine. What pitiful crea
tures wo are, and yet wo see every
where around us young men who aro i
coneoited and proud of their manhood
Oi their money and wo see young girls
who aro vain of their beauty or thoir
dress when they played no part in the
formation of tho ono or the earning of
tho other. A beautiful woman is cloju
kin to the angels and she should bo
thankful that God mudo her s >, but
sho has no excuse in the world for
being vain. Humility is her loveliest
ornament. As for these conceited anil
haughty young men who etrut around
In line clothes that they never earned
or that they got by short cuts and dis
honorable means, they i x dto only pity
or contempt. Wnon wo look upon thorn
we can but exclaim with David, "lin d
what is man that thou art mindful of
him?*' Young men, why don't you hum
ble yourselves under the mighty hand
of God who made you, you havo not tho
remotest idea who you re today a-;d
you don't care if yoi. havent. You
havo traveled .'100,000,000 of miles oinco
tho last year and got back to tho tame
plaeo you started from. You travel
;>0 000 miles an hour and everyday
turn a summersault 2f>,OU0 miles round
and don't know It, and you don't care
if you don't. fho Greater is your on
gir.ec-ranl runs your train Without a
run-otT or a collision and you never
think of Him or thank Him. You seem i
to think that you are doing it.
1 reckon tho 20th century problem is
about settled, it is an old problem and i
perplexed mankind away back in tho I
agee. Tho q icstlon used to hi whether
tho year prior to tho birth of Christ
wa? 1, B. G., or 0 H G., and tho mathe
maticians and astronomers settled it
down at 0 B. G., and begun too new
era with 1, A. L)., and it remained 1, A
I), for 305 days. Hut aside frum this
tin problem is purely a mathematical
one, for If it takes 100 veurs to make a
er-ntury It will take 1000 years to make
IV centuries, and they will not havo
missed until next January comes.
What a v/orld of confusion those old
oopos and monks und kings tfot our
chronology into. With some of thorn
tho year bogan with 25*<h of March,
?Ith others 1st of January, and Christ*
mss and Master. G.io time tho year
was tot back throe months and at
another timo 12 days. Tho year was
llvided into 0 months and 10 months
??ml II months and at the lant into 12
months. They treated old father Time
according to t'ieir whims. Julius Cos
aar Btuck in a month to gratify his
vanity and ho called ll July. This
made Augustus Ccoiar jealous a^d ho
'tuck in another month and called It
August.
But about 1?0 years ago all Chrlstcn
dom got tho divisions of tlmo settled
down upon tho present basis and I hopo
It will stlc't. Wo do not kr.??* that the
Saviour w?r horn 1809 yt. rj ago lust

bo approximated, and It is near enough
'or all Chi istiuns to observe und DJ
thankful for.

The t r ijMtl Tout of (lie Courts im Itoing

Btattsttos and Matho mattes.
Tho Washington correspondent of
the Augusta Herald brings to uotic.
tbo fact that ono of tho most remark
able eases ever adjudicated by the
court of claims is now under discus
sion. Kiduccii to its lust analysis, it
means thut ono of tho most august
branches of the national judiciary It to
determine just how muou of tho hero
there is about Dowey. Tho fury of de
nunciation anu tho fervor of fanatical
eulogy ate to be uliko disregarded.
Toe measure of his glory must bo sub
mlttcd to mathematical und statistical
tests.
it is a casj tho like of which hus
?ever boen brought up in u national
tribunul siuco the beginning of n tlons
UDd tribunals. The furore wuich wus
raised soverul weeks ugo when the
gi cat udmiral chose to present to his
brido tho house which tho peoplo had
given him is responsible lor tho pecu
liar importance which attache i to the
forthcoming cuso before the court of
clahns. It may be true, as Mine, dc
Sevigno said, that "the world is neith
er foolish nor unjust." But there cer
tainly are exceptions, for while it does
seem utterly irrational, it cannot Im
denied thut tin little incident of thut
hou-50 has cast a shadow upon Dowoy
in the public esteoa.
It is argued tuat ho knew tho inferi
ority i,' " tiio Spanish tubs" when he
nailed 11 to tho harbor. Tho danger
from the ?'irpedoos is discounted ; and
a largo nuuil r of people who believe,
at least, that they arc fair-minded,
tuKetho posit on thut L>5.v;\y is entitled
to credit oil it Ii y because of the ii^.'.nx
liko silence lu maintained during ail
ttiose. weary days between tho battle of
Manila and his return to tho bosom of
his country.
If ho really contended against an
equal or superior force, then ho was,
indeed, a hero, and not a child of
chance. If ho did not, tho prejudice
against him which t-x.sts in tho
minds of so many of his fellow-oojntry
men will be strengthened.
It is well known to tho avcrago cit
Iz mi thut the government uwurds a
bouuty to tho naval otlicers and men
engaged in war. This bounty Is esti
mated according to tho relative
strength of tho contending forces. Tho
battle of Manila occurred nearly tsvo
years ugo, but the bounty hus uot yet
Deen paid. Tho puymunt of It has boen
delayed until it could bo determined
whut wore tho odds of buttle. Tho
claim for the bounty is in tho bunds of
Hon. llllury A. Herbert, ex-secretury
of tho navy, who is now practicing
ltiw in Wuihlngtun.
" Can'st thou mako a net for the
winds?" suid Job. Can you weigh he
roism he h>re the court of claim ? ?
woultl bo a parallel Inquiry, Will the
hero of Manila withstand "that fierce
light which beats upon a throne," or
will he be, us somo waggish parodist
called Napoleon III., "That tivirc? bout
who lights up.ui u throne." That's tho
question.
Tho argument in tho court of claims
began on the lUth lost, up on the claim
of Admiral Dowoy und tno ofRoera and
men of his tt|uadron for tho "beau
monoy " arising out of tho destruction
of Montojo's II iot In Manila bay. Tno
contention of tho claimants is that the
force of tho onemy wus superior at
Manila buy, and also thut tho land but
teries and submurlno mines should bo
considered In defining the question,
Assistant Attorney Ueuural IVadt
argued against tho cla:m for $2l)U
" head money," taking tho ground
that tho statute oxprcssly stipulated
' vessels" und contained nothing as to
* land batteries."
Mr. King, who opened for tho claim
ant; , li-st explained how the amount
of tho bounty upon the eight destroyed
vnsseis wore calculated. Tno report
of Admiral Montejo showed that when
ho went to Hubig nay, j ist prior to tin
battle, ho had aboard five ships l,87f?
men, whoso regular complement war
by tho t.tlijiul records D3M. Ho then
quoted Admiral Dowoy's opinion that
bile force of tho cnomv in the engage
ment was superior. There, wore four
elements?the torpedo bouts, tho war
ships, tho shoro batlo-ies und tho sub
marine, mines. K ich of these ele
monts was u menace to tho b.tcoess Ol
Ddwey's II jet and as such should be
counted in passing on tho rights of the
claimants.
?It is a Hourcu of satisfaction to find
tho phosphate industry of tho Stute
'looking up us shown by tho lust annual
roport of I'hosphato inspector Vance.
Tho year's work shows an Incroase of
over *lf>,000 in royalty as compared
with tho preceding yoar making the
aggregato royalty turned into the Stnto
treasury for tho year, of noarly $40,000.
Tho industry seems to bo recovering
from the long period of depression
caused by tho discovory of phosphato
deposits on a largo scale In Florida and
Tennessee and tno const ou^nt compe
tition growing out of this fa ;t. Bofor.
this discovory tho South Carolina phos

prevent nccurato information from
-etching tho people of tho Unitod
Statei and that it was a political
sei erne to further the candidacy of Mr.
MeK'nl'y for ronomination and re
election.
At the opening tho Pott-grew resolu
tion a'jd tho Lodge substitute, both
, seoking from tho l't osident all infor
mation regarding tho Philippine in
surrection, wore laid beforotho Stufte.
Mr. Lodge suggested that both be
withdrawn and tho Hoar resolution
adopt d as a substitute.
The resolution offered by Mr. Hoar
was sweeping In ita call for Informa
tion relating to tho Philippine Insur
rection but Mr. Lodge said his desire
for all in'ormation concerning tho In
surre'Hion was so g^eat that ho pro
nosed to (??Tor an amendment extend
log i t -? provisions
Mr. Lodge said ho wanted informa
tion especially a<* to the effect of the
encouragement the Filipinos received
from the United States. Mr. Hoar
agroed with Mr. Lodge. Mr. l'ettl
grew objected. Ho wanted Bneoilio In
formation, regardless of whether the
President wanted it knowu or not. Ho
launched into a sensational attack on
tlu administration. Ho charged the
government with withholding Informa
tion for political gain. " The trouble
with the imperialists," aaid M r. Petti
grew, " is that they have confounded
tho intereats of the people of the
United States with tho political de
sires and ambitions of their puny Pre
ildent and regarded him und his suc
cess as more important than a right*
ful treatment of tho Filipinos. The
fact is, this whole business is bound
up in the President's desire again to
no a candidate of his party for Presl*
dent."
Mr. l'ettigrew disoUPBed the censor
ing 6f dispatches from the Philippines.
He declared that important and signi
licant facts had boon strickiu from
news dispatches from Manila and from
official reports.
" As an instance of this work," said
he, " tho Sulu treaty was mangled and
partly snopresscd until after the elec
tion in Ohio." He declared the pro
clam at Ion issued by tho President was.
on the recommendltion of Gen. Otis,
altered materially by tho President
before it was published to the Philip
pine natives. As original y drawn it
waa to his mind, a 11 it declaration of
war and when Aguinaldo and his
leaders cimo into possession of tho
original they so regarded It.
' " The whole wretched business/' de
clared Mr. Po't'grow, vehemently,
"was onoof concealment and duplicity,
Intended to deceivo not only tho p :o
o'o of the United St'-^a but also tho
islanders themselves. '
In substantiation of his charge that
tho dispatches from tho Philippines
were censored in the interests of the
administration, Mr. Pettigrow quoted
from a letter written by Mr. Kobert
M. Collins, Associated Press repre
sentative at Manila. In this letter Mr.
Collins related tho substance of an in
terview upon tho BUbjeot of censoring
dispatches which he had had with
Gen. Otis. ivlr. i VU igrew read tho
statements of Mr. Colliltf, in which h>
had said it was tho evident dStdfe of
tho olli dais to prevent certain infor
mation from reaching tho poople of
the United States. When he (Co lins)
had tiled a dispatch c attaining infor
mation which ho thought, was proper
to send to the United Sta'os ho hud
been informed by tho censor that lie
had been instructed tOCUt out anything
that might hurt tho administration.
Subsequently when ho had desired to
send a story relating to the use of
silver in the Philippines, the censor
had told him that bis instructions
wero to al'ow nothing to pan him
which wou'd bo helpful to William
Jennings Bryan In the United States.
Upon this point Mr. Pettigrow bo
cam 5 particularly sarcastic and aeain
advorte.d to what ho termed tho Pre
aident's desiro to succoo 1 himself as
President, even though es>ontlal in
formation had to bo suppressed to ac
complish that ond.
Mr. Pettigrow declared that the
President himself really began tho
war and was responsible for it. "If,"
said bo, " tho administration had had
a spars: of honor in dealing with tho
Filipinos, it would have told Gen.
Morrltt to lay tho whole truth of the
intentions of tho government before
Aguinaldo and his associates." Ho be
lieved this would have averted half
tho trouble. Tho shooting by United
Statos Bontrb s of tho Filipinos
that night, of Fob. Ith, tho oponing of
hostilities, 'va-, lie said, " a foul blow
and wo wore guilty of duplicity and
treachery in killing those men.
"That wo had tired tho first shot
which had precipitated hostilities no
body denied."
Even aftor the lighting had begun,
be said, an effort was made by Aeui
naldo to seoure a suspension of hosti
lities, but he had been told by Con O l&
that now tho lighting had been begun
it must contfnuo to tho grim end.
"If," said Mr. Pettigrow, " I wero a
Filipino I would light until 1 was gray
against tho unholy aggression of the
Halted States. if this country is
wrong, this country could tako no
grandor position before tho nations of
the world than to admit tnat it Is
wrong. We have roaohod the turning
point. We must decide whothor wo
are to pursuo a OOurse of rapacity and
aggie.sion on tho British principle or
:o pursue a course of j istice and right.
No nation long can pumto such a
course a? the imperialists have marked
out for us?conrso of wrong and
treachery to friends?and hopo to
stand woll before the nations of tho
world."

A PENSION OFPIOU UOMANCK.
Tho Government Olllclals Find a Man
Atter Years ot t?ot*.rchliiir ?Ho Was
Supposed to bo Dead Nearly Hfty
Year-; Ago.
In 1Sn>0 James Williamson, a young
man of a good Minnesota family, Im
pelled westward by the dosiro of for
tune, made bis way to Colorado. Ho
found pi otitable employment, and meet
ing a girl with whom he fell in love in
the center of the State, married her.
There was not a murmur of family
infelicity, and thoy were pointed to
by their neighbors as an unusually
happy couple.
One morning, after several years of
married life, the husband kis.'cd his
wife good by and left home, ostensibly
for a near-by town. He never reached
his destination, but disappeared as if
the oartb had swallowed him.
Tne opinion was accepted after a
time, that Williamson had been mur
dered and robbed I y a gang of outlaws
then operating in mat section. Within
a few wesks a'ter the dlappearanco of
tho man, a body was found In a nulch
beside the road over which Williamson
was supposed to havo traveled, the re
mains, in a general way, answered tho
description of tho missing man, the
clothing being of the same pattern.
Though the features wero too badly
decomposed to make Idoutitloatton
positive, the remains wore given burial,
and a grief-stricken woman followed
thocvdlin to the grave. A monument
was erected bearing Williamson's name
and inscription.
In time the willow dolled her weeds.
Presently sho married again, and
started on her second matrimonial ven
ture under pleasing auspices. The
war came on, and the second husband
j nned tho Union army, lie served
with honor, and died on the dring
line.
Years after the declaration of peace,
the woman, being in reduced circum
stances, made application for a pension
upon tiie strength of her second bus
hand's service. The usual papers were
preparod, showing tiie circumstances
as to the first marriage and William
s >n's supposed death and allidavits
from tho best people of the little vil
lage.
In passing through the pension bu
reau the lirst olHolals approved the ap
plication, hjt when it readied tiio lau
auditor there was a hitch. Ho was
Impressed with tiie story of tho woman
und the disappearance of her husband.
He did not regard tho former's story
as false, but rometnberlng the munner
in which many cases of like character
had terminated, ordered a close inves
tigation.
One of the best pension agents was
sent to Colorado to look up tho case.
Williamson's relatives wero located
and traces of the maa were fouud in
Minnesota, rvhore he had spent six
years, finally leaving for Tennessee.
The elews were followed up, one after
another, and the pension agents havo
finally located their man in tho ro
spected head of a largo family in good
circumstances.
The officer confronted Williamson
with the charge of desertion and big
tuny, but ho was loud in his denuncia
tions of the accusation as false. Ho
persisted In them until thei lli;er made
threats to bring the Colorado wife to
Tennessee, when he wilted and con
fesrVd the entire story.
Too papers in the ease havo been
forwarded from the Nashville pension
ollicoto Washington. The pension will
bo refused upon the ground that the ap
plicant was not the legal wife of her
second husband. The disco/cry lias
caused a sensation In the Tonnessee
community in wnich Williamson has
resided for lifteon years, and his second
wife is now preparing to bring a suit
for divorce.
No explanation is given as to why
ho abandoned his Colorado wife and
home, bet tho story goes to show the
persistency and threwdness of the
Pension ollioi- ???"?ths. The caso is "out!
one oi many pension frauds unearthed
in N ishvlllo within the past fe-w
months, though the pension applicant
in this case was a tincere and injured
woman.
A Candidate von Govbunou ?The
Columbia correspondent of the Augus
ta Chronicle says that H >n. A. Howard
Patterson, who for BOin-j time past has
been prominently spoken of as a candi
date for governor In tho next election
has been spending a few days in the
city. Ho was approached today and
asked if ho expected to run. He re
plied that whatever hesitation ho may
havo felt in making a de Unite announce
ment heretofore, tho very Ii Itter ng
encouragement be has received re
cently, and especially since tho open
ing of this session of tho legislature,
loaves r.or.o now and that It may bo
publicly stated that he will be a candi
date for governor in tho next cam
paign. That while his general policy,
if elected governor, will bo to enforce
tho lawn upon the statute books, yet
a* there are certain i?sues which will
bo prominently before the people in
the next campaign, among them bdng
tho liquor question and the question of
eduoation, ho desires that his position
in regard to t'.iem he clearly under
tood. As to the llqu ir question, ho
will stand equaroly for the dlspensai*,
and if elected will 8 o that the law !e
cnforci J in all Bcctlons o? ih? S ?t<
without toward to theloualii-y In which
it i-, violated.
That he will advocate the. bidding
up and advancement of tho oo.nm n
soloola of 'he Stut?| as well as the
proper support'?f the colleges, believ
ing that tiie maintenance u( ouo Is es
sential to the welfare of tho other.
That he is opposed to preparatory
claries in Stute colleges, us they lire
ln.iely dolug tiie work that graded
j u!.:i high tei ods can do at much less
cost to thoStu'e and stud nte, and are
ihoreby prcvoutlng stu.icm-) who are

obtaining a higher education. And
that ho favors a moro rigid enforce
