EDITORIAL NOTES.

Prophets are without honor in Bombay.
One of them recently predicted that the
city would be swept with a tidal wave on
October 1, and the authorities promptly
put him in Jail. He was only released
when he explained that he meant October
1, 1900. But he was told that it would go
hard with him if his prediction should
prove to be untrue.
Woman can still love if she finds, or
thinks she finds, Man. A southern
Oregon paper relates that Miss Sophia
Ish, of Jacksonville, who inherited for
tune of 500, 900 from her father, decided
the same to her relatives because they
objected to her marrying poor man,
and then welded the man of her choice,
who had only manly attributes to recon-
mend him.
California raisins are coming to market
| in immense quantities and from localities
| not heretofore credited with raisin produc-
ton. The growers have been in such haste
to market their crops that they send rails
ins packed in barrels and sacks. Up to
November %, 142 carloads had been ship
ped from Riverside, and some of the cars
contained as much as 10000 pounds each.
California raisins are very good raisins,
very good raisins indeed.
Some people know how to make Other
people work for them. A citizen of Jack

should quarter the oranges and place tn
! peel in barrel of alcohol standing nea

, disposed of, to the satisfaction of tn

HOW TO MAKE MONEY ELASTIC.
: Many ingenious schemes to prevent re-
currence of the financial crisis which this
country is passing through are put for
ward. 1t is generally admitted that there
is money enough, and it is also generally
admitted that it is not in the right places.
The dangerous inelasticity of the circulate
ing medium il isasmlssSaaahsaaty admitted saa''s'
az Edward Atkinson hagthought out plan
which he is confident will prevent such
trouble as. is now on us. The minimum of
all the business transactions of the country
is estimated at not less than $130, 200, ,000,
600, of which 80 per cent, or S117, ,000,-
000, 900 year, are credit transactions, that
is, are com pleted without the direct inter
vention of money, but by the passage of
instruments of credit This enormous vol
ume of business is done on basis of
81 500, 900, 900 of circulating medium in
actual use, of which about $500, ,000, 900
are in the reserves of the banks, national
and state. 1t is no wonder, then, that the
withdrawal of even few millions from
this small and inelastic basis should set the
whole structure to shaking.
Mr.. Atkinson would give elasticity to
the circulating medium by making per-
manent and legal the issuance of clearing
house certificates which has proved the
salvation Of the business world in several
| financial crises. He would engraft the
| clearinghouse certificate plan upon the
national bank system as permanent
| feature Of it. He 4would=haye the banks
| of the country divided into districts, those
| in each district to organize clearing
house, and each clearinghouse to be au-
| thorized to issue certificates like unto the
| present bank notes to the extent of rs pei
cent. of the market value of approved Sc
curities deposited by the banks with the
| executive officers of the clearinghouse
His argument is that if, especially under
the examination and direction of the
federal comptroller, all the banks of {
given district guarantee the payment of 1
clearinghouse certificate, the credit thu
given would be as good as that of Bank o
England notes, and he further contends
that the issuance or such certificates woult
furnish just that elastic circulation whicl
is plainly needed, since the issue would b.
determined by the current normal require
ments of trade from time to time.
This is certainly simple and practica
plan. Business men can understand it
and might feel safer with it than with tn
Financial legislation" which congress in

The Newspaper Of the Future.

The newspaper of the future will
rid itself of the smartness and flip
pancy with which the newspaper of
the present is to often disfgured.
Its writer's will be selected for their
learning, careful literary training and
fairness of judgment. Verbosity is
one of the most dreaded terrors of the
average newspaper reader. He is
likely to think that an erudite, thor
oughly informed writer must needs
be dull and pl osy. Let us admit that
we cannot endure long, dull editorial
articles, and that we will not have q
colorless, dry statement of facts in
the news columns of the journal OF
our choice. But it is asking too
much of human nature newspaper
human nature-that the paper shall
be crisp and bright without malice,
learned and intelligent without dull
ness.-N oah Brook in the Forum.

A Gruesome Hour.

The law of Minnesota, which re-
qunes that the execution of q mur-
derer shall take place between mid
night and dawn, has just been en-.
forced for the first time in the case of
William Beodker, who was hanged
shortly after midnight at Pine City.
The Minnesota lawgivers seem to
have desired to add gloom and solem-
nifty to a ceremony most gruesome at
best, but the hour must be very in
convenient and untimely one for the
murderer himself Every attentive
reader of the accounts of execution
ers knows that a baby never enjoys
balmier and sweeter slumber than a
condemned murderer the night be-
fhre he is to be hanged. He also
knows that he takes very excellent
and hearty breakfast in the morning.
The refreshing sleep and the hearty
breakfast are always the features OF
the few hours that precede an execu.
ton. But under the new law there
will be no such enjoyment for the
murderer in Minnesota. He will 90
to bed after supper. be called up in
the middle of his sleep, and be hang
ed on an empty stomach.-Chicago

THE GROWING CROPS,

How They Appear to otheCorrespondents i,i
raY5il South Carolina.
The estimate given below are based
upon reports received from 237
special correspondents OF the Depart
ment of Agriculture i'll every part of
the State.
Eighty correspondents report the
weather favorable ndtwenty-five un-
favorable.
The condition of the cotton crop,
reported ut 103 one month ago, is
still very high. The warm, dry wealth
er that has prevailed over the greater
part of the State has been most fa-
vorable for the growth of the plant
and the destruction of grass. The
crop has been well worked and is
exceptionally clean. At this date
the condition is in upper Carolina
101, middle Carolina 1O1, lower
Carolina 100. Average for the State
1O1, against sS at the same date in
1SS9
The outlook for the corn crop is
not SO good as on June 1st, as the
early planting has suffered for rain
in some sections. The condition in
upper Carolina is reported at 95,
middle Carolina 80, lower Caro-
lima 80. Average for the State 81,
against 81 for the same time last
year.
Th1ce crop is generally in good
condition. THE acreage, including
the June planting, is reported as
per cent, less than for 1889. The
condition is for upper Carolina go
middle Carolina 95, lower Caroline
95. Average for the State 90, against
SO at the same time last year.
WHEAT AND OATS.
The small grain crop was harvested
in fine condition. Wheat was seri
ously injured by rust. The yield is
estimated at six bushels per acre
The product is estimated at 40 pei
cent. less than last year. Thirty
six correspondents report the quality
as good as last year and eighty-three
correspondents as better than last
year. The yield of oats is estimated
at eleven bushels per acre. The yield
of fall and spring sown was about
the same. The total product is esti
mated at % per cent. less than last
year. The quality is reported bette,
by 3 correspondents, as good by 13(
and inferior to last year by "a CORE
| spondents.
| SMALLER CROPS.
The smaller crops are reported IL
generally good conditions: Sorghum
at 81, sugar cane at 90, sweet pota
toes at 96, Irish potatoes at 90, gar
den products at 80, peaches at %
apples and pears at 46, grapes at 83

Born With Teeth.

Yesterday morning Mrs. Carl Kim
BILE, cf No. A Kindel avenue, gave
birth to twins. The doctors who
were in attendance at the birth of
the babes noticed that they were
exceptionally large and well develop
ed. Greatly to their surprise upon
examining one of the twins it was
discovered that it possessed two large
lower front teeth, which are at least
an eighth of an inch in length and
perfectly formed. The teeth are of
pearly whiteness and look as natu-
raj as those of child six or eight
years old. This is q rare occurrence,
and a similar one has never been re-
corded before. There have been
cases where there was one tooth
when single child was born but
never before when there were twins

THE VALUE OF TURNlPS.
Suggestions on One of Our Most Impor tan
Crops-When and How to Plant.

Suggestions on One of Our Most Impor tan
Crops-When and How to Plant
In cool climates the turnip crop is
quite an important one, being used
quite extensively for feeding sheep
The climate of the cotton States does
not suit the turnip sufficiently well to
warrant its being ranked as q staple
crop Other crops, like the sweet
potato, can be raised more easily and
prOhtably tor stock feed. Still the
turnip has some value as succulent
stock food in winter, and contributes
something to the health of stock,
though not very nutritious. For ta-
BILE and for stock it should claim at
least patch on every farm.
Success in raising the turnip de-
pends very largely on the preparation
of the land, almost as much as in the
manure applied. Perhaps no crop
demands finer tilth. It is important,
therefore, to begin the preparation of
turnip land early. It is none too
early now to begin. The first thing
is to break the land thoroughly and
deep. If left all cloddy the roller and
harrow should follow the plow at
once. After the next rainfall plow
again across the first, and follow as
before with roller and harrow. If
one has no roller, make drag, by
mailing lumber lOx2 to two slides
slopod urward at front, nailed on
weatherboard fashion, and drag it
over the land. It will grind and pull
verize the clods very nicely. About
five pieces eight feet long will suffice.
This is very valuable implement on
farm.
Next to preparation comes manur-
ing. Turnips will not grow on poor
land-it should be made exceedingly
rich. Cow-penning is excellent for
the purpose, but this practice is be-
coming less practiced than it used to
be. Some stable or lot manure should
be put on the land before the first
plowing, with a view to getting it
fined and we'll mixed with the soil.
Before the second plowing this should
be supplemented with heavy dress
ing of phosphate-say, at the rate of
1000 pounds per acre. This fertili-
zer is peculiarly adapted to the .tur-
nip. Some nitrogen and some potash
are needed also, but phosphate is the
chief manure it calls for. Not only
should liberal dressing of this be
given broadcast, but if the seed are
drilled a little phosphate should be
put in the drill also, to push the crop
forward rapidly OUT &c the way of the
flea bug. A moderate dressing of
cotton seed meal and some ashes or
kainit should be given also.
On excessively rich land fine crops
of turnips may be raised by sowing
seed broadcast, but on ordinary land
better results will follow sowing in
drills two to two and half feet apart,
thinning out the crop and working it
with plow and hoe. Our experience
is, that in our hot, dry climate the
turnip should not be sown early
from first of August to middle of Sep
tember is the best seeding period.

Drinks for Warm Weather:

Lemonade and buttermilk are as
good as anything drinkable that you
can find for this weather." said a
physician.
"They both are great things tc
quench thirst. They both act as a
pleasant tonic to the stomach and
they have stimulating quality. But
they should not be drunk ice-cold-
That is, bits of ice should not be in
the goblet. Let them be as cold as
the ice chest or refrigerator can
make them, but not more than that.
When you pour down your throat a
pint or so of fluid that is fresh from
the ice temporary paralysis of the
stomach follows. If man happens
to be very hot, such q thing not in
frequently ia az fatal as lightning"

THE FARMERS COMMITTEE.
a Meeting in Columbia to Discuss the Situa-
ton:

COLUMBIA, 5. c., July In re-
Spouse TO some understanding appur-
emily reached by private communica,
ton, number of the leaders of the
Tillman movement assembled in this
CITY to-day for conference.
Among those present were Capt.
G. W. Shell, Laurens, another of the
famous manifcste-or of that part of
it which Capt. Tillmon does not
claim-Col. j. l.. NJ. Irby, of Laurens;
T. w. Standard, of Berkeley; Octa-
vus Cohen, of the Charleston World;
J. T. Murphy, of Charleston; HI. r.
Thomas, of Edgefield, and others.
Capt. Tillman by reason of the de-
lay of the Augusta train, did not
reach here until 7:3O and took the S:15
train to Camden without coming up
town. The number of conferees was
increased by the arrival of j. A. Sigh
and w. d. Hardy, NewberTy; A. W.
Barnwell; o. w. Buchanan, Fair.
fiele; w. III. Zimmerman, Edgefield
j. f. Tindal, Clarendon, and FL
A. Meetze and J. III. Counts, Lexing
ton.
The conference first assembled to
night at the Agricultural building
but hastily adjourned on the dis
covery by late arriving delegate tina
n reporter had climbed tree within 6
few feet of an open window where
the meeting was held. The confer
cncc resumed it's session at the Grand
Central in q room on the second fool
with guards posted to keep at q dis
tance representatives of the press.
Capt. Shell presided and the situa-
ton was Thoroughly discussed. The
sense of the majority present, it is
learned, was in favor of making NO
nominations at the August conven-
ton, but to vote down the. PROPOSE
ton of State primary, and to also
elect new State executive committee
of known Tillman tendency.
1t was also proposed by some to
have the convention take action fol
the reapportionmcnt of the State at
the September convention, talang the
population of the counties by the
census of 1880 as the basis, instead OF
asnow.
The members of the conference
talked with express the greatest con-
fidence in being able to control both
the August and September conven-
tions for the farmers movement
