Where Our Greatest Wealth Ia.

[Richard J. Hinton in the Forum. ]
In the region beyond the esth meri-
dian Of longitude west Of Greenwich,
the initial point being st. Paul, and its
final one North Platte, Nebraska,
while on the south it extends eastward
to Fort Worth, Texas, eighteen States
and Territories were visited and ira
versed. The contrasts offered by it to
the solitude of 1865 were almost amaz-
ing. West of the meridian named there
are now at least 22,tO0 miles of railroad,
and Of telegraph wires not less than
10000 miles. Of telephone and electric
light cables, in propotion to population,
there are more miles in use than else
where within the United States. There
is to-day more property owned per
capita, than elsewhere on the CONT
nent. Two-ffths of the national do
main is found west Of the line given,
and certainly three-ffths of the re-
naming public lands of the United
States must be sought for in the same
region; and that, too, without consid-
ering Alaska. Yet how few persons are
cognizant of the fact that, east and
west, the geographical centre of this
Union is somewhere in the Bay of San
Francisco; for with the Aleutiar Islam
ders flying our flag within 50 miles OF
the Siberian coast of Asia, our domain
extends on a northwestern and south
eastern line, some 5000 miles beyond
the Golden Gate.

WONDERFUL YIELD OF COTTON.
One Hundred and Twenty Bales TO Eighty
.Acres-aIr. Doty's Success as II Cotton
Kaiser in Fairfield.
TWinnsbOro News and Herald. 1th7

[Winnsboro News and Herald, It'll
H~ving heard many reports about
the fine cotton Oh that part of the old
w. II. Robertson place, now owned
and planted by Mr.. w. r. Doty Of this
town, we decided to see for ourselves
whether or not these reports had been
exaggerated.
We were fortunate enough to find
NJ. Doty at home, who with his custo-
mary hospitality showed US over his
entire field.
The field contains eighty acres Of
cotton, and such cotton! In many
places the plant is over six feet in
height, and in all places literally COW
cred with bolls and forms. Many of
the lower limbs are so weighted down
by bolls that they lie flat on the ground.
Notwithstanding its magnificent size
this cotton is now growing and fruit
ing as luXuriantly as at any time dur
ing the summer, and it is worthy of
note that scarcely any shedding is TAX
ing place, the plants holding fully nine
tenths of the fruit taken on.
The cotton is of the Allen long staple
variety, with rows four to five feet
apart, depending on the quality of the
soil. A portion of the field is second
year new ground and the rest old red
hillside, on which, four years ago, the
average yield was about one bale to
four acres.
The fertilizer used was composed of
cotton seed hull ash, kainit, bone meal
takage and phosphate. Eight hundred
pounds of fertilizer per acre was the
quantity used throughout, the only
variation in the composition being that
necessary to afford the largest percent
age Of ammonia where the land was
naturally weakest.
Now as to the estimated yield of this
magnificent field of cotton-good
judges say that, with continuance of
favorable weather, Nr. Doty will make
from 100 to 12O bales on his so acre
field.
Think Of it, farmers of Fairfield, over
100 bales on so acres of red hillside!
Does not our true wealth after all lie in
agriculture? And was not Mr.. Mcclure,
editor of the Philadelphia Times, right,
when, after inspecting the agricultural
capabilities of almost every State in the
Union, he asserted that without excep-
ton South Carolina took the lead in
fertility of soil and variety of natural
resources?
Our County and State owe to all
such progressive and intelligent far
mers as Mr.. Doty debt Of gratitude
for thus proving to the whole country
our uneQualled agricultural capabi-

President Cleveland's Tetoes.
T Edward G.. Mason in the Forum

Edward G. Mason in the Forum
The country has been generous-as it
ought to bc-in its provision for soldiers
disabled in its service. But this very
generosity has melted many whose
claims were of the flimsiest character
to seek aid from the government.
President Cleveland determined if
possible to stop the greedy and unjustifi-
able scramble, and to this end used
the veto more than twice as often as
all his predecessors together. His pur-
pose is we'll explained in the following
quotation from veto message: "Heed-
lessness and disregard of the principle
which underlies the granting Of pen
sions is unfair to the wounded, Grip
pied soldier, who is honored in the just
recognition of his government" Again,
the President declares that the indis-
criminate granting of pensions teaches
the people "that as against the public
treasury the most questionable expedi-
ents are allowable" A careful exam
nation of President Cleveland's veto
messages compels one to the belief that
he lived up to the principles set forth
in the passage just quoted. President
Cleveland in vetoing pension bills was
defending alike the public treasury,
the disabled soldier, and the public
morals.

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps in the August
Forum
1t is fact, gloss it anyhow as we
may, that decent women have never
dressed so indecently in our county
and our century as they do in fashion
able life to-day.
Would that some enterprising Jour-
nal might take the moral census of this
subject as a substitute for prize-baby
competitions or guesses on Nelly Bly.
We should like to throw down the
gauntlet to the women of America.
defend these immoralities! Speak up
for yourselves if you camp. 1 do not
believe that two reputable women in
the land would dare publicly to defend
the styles of undress that now disgrace
our sex. The time has more than come
for such a protest against this abomina-
ton as will smite women to the dust
for shame. What is to be said? Enter
any fashionable drawing-room and look
for yourselves. What is said? Think
of it, you high-born ladies-think of
it!
In the most decorous city in our
country, lady representing what may
be deservedly called one of the 'best"
families in the State, herself a middle
aged, queenly, home-loving matron,
the wife of an afectionate husband, the
mother of grown sons and daughters,
wears her dress-but my pen shrinks
from aOritin9 what this high-bred lady
does. This case, which represents
scores of others, is Of importance, be-
cause the offender herself is so uncon-
scious of her ofense, and so farin other
respects above it.
There is no life of concealed dishonor,
no intrigue, no shoddy birthright, no
fast-and-loose views of duty. The wo-
man is otherwise immaculate. How
explain this ethical enigma? Are our
ladies morally insane or mentally? Do
they not know what they are doing?
And if not, why not? How shall we
characterize the two-low corsage with
some nothing for a sleeve? The lower
bodice with no sleeve at all? Nudity
covered by transparency? And what is
! known as the V-back? They are below
excuse as they are beyond explana-
| ton.
I What moral mania blunts the sensi-
bilities that ought to fix the standards
of nation? What dementia deters
the "ever-womanly" from "leading US
on" at least so far that the simplest
instinct of feminine modesty-that
which covers nakedness-may keep
stroke with the moral development of
the age? Let it be said that gay wo-
men always have dressed improperly.
What Of it? Is that any reason why
they always should?

THE GROWTH OF THE CHURCH.
Last Year-22 ,OOO, 900 Christians in
the United States
From the New York Herald. I

From the New York Herald
The Independent has gathered some
valuable and interesting statistics
showing the strength of the various
Christian churches in the United
States and their growth during the
past year. In some cases the figures
are estimates, but our contemporary
believes that on the whole the results
every closely approximate the truth"
From these it appears that there are
in the United States Isl, ,261 churches
of all denominations, 103, 300 ministers,
and nearly 100000 members. Dur
ing the year there has been an increase
Of $500 churches, nearly 1900 minis
tcrs and nearly 100000 members.
The most numerous denomination is
the Roman Catholic, with it's $500
churches, $500 priests. &C., and 9,277,-
600 population, of whom 4,676.000 are
estimated to be communicates.
Then come the Methodists, with, in
round numbers, 100000 communi-
cants; Baptists, 4,292, 900; Presbyterians
l, 2229, 900; Lutherans, 1855, 900; Congre-
gationalists, 491 900, and Episcopalians,
100000.
The increase in the Catholic popula-
ton during the year was 42l, ZOO. The
estimated gain in Catholic communi-
cants was over 239,00O.
The growth of Protestant member
ship was G6s,000. The Methodists
gained more than 256,O0O, the Baptists
more than $4,000, the Lutherans
$4,000, he Presbyterians nearly $4,000,
the Congregationalists more than
10000 and the Episcopalians about
$500.
The accession of new members was
even larger than these figures, since in
every denomination there were deaths
of members whose places were filled by
new acquisitions. The number of
deaths in the Methodist Episcopal
body, for example, was reported at
2S.30O.
This is highly satisfactory and en-
couraging showing to all who have the
welfare of the Church at heart. A
gain rearly eleven hundred thousand
in membership in one gear, with cor
responding increase in the number of
churches and ministers, indicates that
Christianity is marching on with no
uncertain stride. AS our contemporary
well says, "It is in itself a most over
whelming refutation of the assertions
We hear now aDd then from various
quarters that Christianity is losing its
hold upon our people and that our
churches are declining"

the body to be touched until he himself
was satisfied that life was extinct. All
Of this scene of terror could have been
avoided had the switch board been al
lowed to remain in its first position,
where all the preliminary experiments
were tried, but the day before the exc
cution by some occult influence it was
taken into the next room, and the cur
rent during the execution tluctuated
from 500 to 1900 volts.
OPINIONS OF PHYSICIANS.
One Of the most eminent physicians
present says Of the execution: "When
the electric current was applied he
stitfencd out under the shock. think
that consciousness was at once lost, but
that life was not extinct. After the
current had been applied Il number of
seconds | think | myself said dead
Then DIR. Fell rushed in and began to
loosen the headpiece. There were con-
vulsive movements Of the chest, and
there was demand that the current
be applied again.
This Was done. The instant the
contact was made there was a capillary
congestion Of the face and hands which
is regarded as 4 post mortem appear
ance as though YOU applied the current
to dead body.
The longer the current was kept or
after the period which we call the death
period this line of congestion gradually
sank until showing that the blood was
no longer propelled to the vessels, but
that had settled down to the dependent
parts of the body, as in dead sub
jects."
DR.. Carlos +. Mcdonald said:
"I think the execution was success.
1t is true that the first application Of
the electric current did not eXtinguish
the life of the subject, but it was quite
evident that he experienced no suffer
ing and died without a pain"

The Alabama Election.

BIRMINGHAM, August 5.-Later re-
turns from yesterdays election indicate
that the Democratic majority will be
the largest since the war, although the
total vote polled was very light. The
Republicans havel not carried more
than one or two counties in the State.
Walker County, the home of B. NJ.
Long, the Republican candidate for
Governor, gave Democratic majority
Of 300. For the first time since the
war, in this county, the Republican
vote fell off 50 per cent. The Demo-
cratic majority is 1000 with total vote
of only 10000.
One feature Of yesterdays election
was that few of the better element Of
the white Republicans voted.
