AT DAWN.
Two Mormon Missionaries i'm
South CarOIi0n,

COLUMBIA, Augu.t 9.-Two seedy-looking,
middle-aged, men trAmped into the town OF
Chester Sunday, and registered at a hotel as
&C. ID. Robinson, Idaho Territory" and
"Henry Miller, Utah Territory" the only
baggage they carried was a griIsack and an
umbrella apiece. They were uuobtrusiye in
their manner, but 1t was apparent from their
conversation that they were men Of inteili-
gence.
They did net Indicate their mission in any
way until that night after supper, when they
distributed among the guests of the house a
pamphlet entitled, Doctrines Of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints: It's Faith
ard Teachings. By L der John Morgan.
They stated that they were elders of the
Mormon Church, and that it was their desire
to preach in town the next night il they
could get an audience.
Inc news vas soon spread on the streets
that two Mormon preachers were in town,
and considerable excitement prevailed for a
time. The young men held a meeting, al
which a committee of three was appointed,
who forthwith waited upon the Mormon
apostles, informed them that the climate OF
Chester did not sgree with "Latler-Day
Saints" and iutimated 10 them in uumistak-
able terms that il they did not make the n
selves scarce around those parts within
twelve hours, they wovld be treated TO a suit
OF tar and feathers.
Before retiring that night Elders Robinson
aud Miller settled their hotel bills, and in the
gray dawn OF the next morning they folded
their grips icks and umbrellas and silently
stole away, counting the c~rossties on the rail
road track in the direction OF North Carolina.
These worthless rave been operating in
North Carolina for the past year, during
which time they have r.ade many converts,
who have been cent out to Utah. This, how
ever, was their fret attempt at proselytism in
the Palmetto State. They have generally
steered clear OF towns, preaching their per-
nicious doctrines in the most b~enighted sec
tions Of the country, selecting the most ig-
uorant ami immoral classes for hearers, and
conducting their meetings with great secrecy.

cotton. No agents TO sell yarr. This
Is a new feature. We defy MN

Manchester 5000 miles from the coItoC-gins,
but the new mills on the new plan are in the
cotton-6elds, and take the cotton from the

send the yarns TO Manchester and bring back
immigrants and land them at the Southern

river. As long as they are landed 10 New

The affuviat bottoms of The great valley OF

cleared forest. Clear them up ard set to
growing a magnificent gras crop, TO be fed
10 all the classt Of live stock, and we can
feed England with beef, and butter and

counties in Kentucky would be forgotten
when the erass of the Mississippi Valley is
moved. We have 100 acres 10 one, and time

perior in production 10 any county IN the
bluegrass region of Kentucky. The prsiriss
OF Texas will fade away and be forgotten,
ard the stock ranches of the world will be
opened on our ~alluvial bottoms Of the Mis-

MEMPHIS APPEAL
SATURDAY, : AUGUST IL, 1888.
TENNIssEE CKoP REPORT.

The crop report, reviewing the month Of
July, of the Tennessee Commissioner Of Agri-
culture, A. J. McWhirter, informs us that
the general condition Of the growing crops
had not materially changed since the June
report. The principal crops. as corn, cotton,
tobacco, potatoes and stock peas, showed i'm
proyement;l some other articles had slightly
fallen of. The rainfall Of the month was
uneven-in some places excessive rains had
greatly injured wheat, oats and hay, render
ing much Of it unmarketsblej elsewhere
drouth had lessened the chances Of the grow
ing crops. Except in 4 very few favored To-
~calities, the fruit crop throughout the State
may be considered a failure, in the case Of
apples and peaches especially, which were
worse than in June. La many counties
threshing shows a better average yield than
had been estimated, but the average is a low
one. Everywhere the general report shows
stock 10 be in fine condition; there were, how
ever, a few localities where cholera among
hogs and murrain among cattle were COM
planned Of. Farm work was advancing
favorably and farmers were generally in
good spirits. ~"Altosether," the commissioner
concludes, "the outlook is far from dis-
courasing." The average rainfall was uE-
usually large for July. The average condi-
ton for the State was az follows; Corn, 92;
cotton, "a; tobacco, so; sorghum, "a; millei,
90; sweet potatoes, 81; Irish potatoes, lO1;
apples, 81; peaches, 90; grapes, 80; berries,
81; meIoup, 81; garden produce, 50; buck
wheat, %; peanuts, 90; stock pea, 102; oats,
81 per cent. Average yield OF wheat per
acre, eight bushels.

COMBINATIONS STRIKES.

The strike Of the telegraph operators
touches all the great avenues of trade, and
on that account has drawn unusual attention
to the subject OF labor, capital, wages, and
strikes. With some few and stupid excep-
lions, in papers that knew better, but follow
ed interest rather than truth, the right Of the
workingman 10 combine and strike, his besn
universally acknowledged. II the right did
not exist otherwise, il would arise from the
example OF employers who combine and in
combination lower wages, as the men COM
bine and by combination rsise wages. II
anyone is unaware Of the trades unions that
are kept up among employers, they will find
it out If, when some firm has lowered its
wages, the employees so to other firms and
try to get employment on the previous rate
of pay. Some complaint We have seen
made during the present strike OF the
conduct Of the men in putting the employers
into difficulties and taking advantage Of Their
embarrassment to queezs an increase for
themselves. AS there is no provision made
for any legal inquiry or mode of arbitration
by which questions between employer and
employe may be settled, this system is re-
sorted 10 Of necessity. 1t is one in which
the workman has tbs worst Of the position,
for while he can only embarrass the en-
ployer the latter can and does threaten him
with mortal peril. He says accept the wages
1 offer or slarve. You and your little ones
and the wife Of your bosom, starve and die if
you will, or accede TO the terms l impose.
just as the highwayman says, Your money
or your life" so the employer that is grind
ing and g~raspiDg says to his workmeD. But
he says this only at times when some con-
dition OF events does not allow the workman
70 strike. The more the workmen's wages
are reduced, the nearer they and their fami-
lies live to starvation, unable to lay up. a
dollar for hard times, the sterner comes the
order 10 work for still lees or live, until the
workman, ragged, hungry, and spirit broken
is reduced, like the COW aud the horse, 10 the
allowance of the mere bsre necsssaries of
life. Ii is TO fight off such an ultimate re-
suit that men combine and strike. The ms
fortune is they do not always strike al the
right Time, nor sufficiently Ttcognize the mo-
ment when reduced demand, low profits, and
falling prices make acquiescence.a just as
well as a wise policy. True, employers
sometimes Try TO reduce wages on false pre-.
lenses of losses and straits that do not exist.
II there were legal arbitration the employer,
ia such a Gaze, would have to prove his state
ments by producing his books. II be objects
ID such an investigation, then he must GET
on as best he can with unions and strikes; it
would be well for him to remember, however,
that, as the toiling class have the most votes. a
time may come when the habit of concert
and combination may prove a serious thing
for the stability Of property, for the only
guarantee of safety to property is the loyaI
will OF the citizens.

New York Morning ,Journol: "Yes," said
an uptown dealer in suspensory bapdsres-
elastic stockings and things of that sort, we
have a variety OF male customers who order
and wear appliances TO keep their shape.
People oflen call them corseis, but, Of course
they do not IN any way resemble the female

We have several foreign customers in this

takes great pride in it. We often make

There Is one actor very well known in New
York who always makes up beth for the
street and stage. He mol only wears a speeias
OF corset, but he pads his thighs and calves. for
his legs are too thin and his BODY too fat.
Mr.. Wallack used TO have the reputation of
wearing corseis, but it is not true. l know
it, because we have done business for him in
many other ways. Mr.. Wallack's shape is
entirely his own. There is no article about
it.
But mind you" went on the dealer, "tbis

10 very silly. OF course, where il is from a
sentiment OF vanity alone the thing is some-
what ridiculous, but these elastic shirts and

in many csses would proloug their lives.
