SEVEN DROWNED.
A Schooner Capsizcd Near Kingston,
Canada.

About one o'clock in the afternoon the Jes-
sic Brock, two masted vessel, capsized of
Nine Mile Point, Kingston, Canada. Many
people watched her as she struggled against
the storm. The steamer Hiram Calvin
started up the lake and an hour later
found the water logged Breck floating on her
side. Tho crew were drowned, as the vessel
capsized too quickly for any to he saved. The
crew included:
R. Davidson, a sailor, of Kingston; George
Frank, a sailor, of Kingston; Thos MaGkle,
the captain; Joseph Mackie the mate; John
Mackie, sailor; Maria Mackic the cook;
w. Mullen, a sailor, of Kingston.
The Mackies were all Of the same family
and they lived OIL Wolfe Island.
1t is thought that the lifebolts had besn
washed away, and when Captain Mackie
hauled the vessel up before the wind sho
filled and went over. The schooner was on
her way from Toledo to GarIen Island, tim.
ber laden. She was valued at 5000 and un.
insured.

Overhauling the Yantic.

The Secretary of the Navy has ordered
survey on the Yantic at the New York Navy
Yard to determine the cost Of fitting her for
another cruise. He. boilers need consider
able repairs, but in other respects she is in
very good condition. She will not probably
get to sea again before lato in the summer,
as there will be little money available for re-
pairs until the beginning of the next fiscal
year.

MY PICTURE.

MY PICTURE
Do you want to see my picture,
8: The one love the best?
! 1t comes when dying sunbeams
!, Lead nature to her rest. ). J..
The background to my picture ~
- Is mountain towering high,i
Whose rugged pessks are softened
- In outline 'gainst the sky.
The stars look brightly downward
Isee them in the lake,
And of its silvery whiteness
A magic mirror make.
With giant limbs extending,
Behold my noble trees.
Their branches gently bending
!: To softest perfumed breeze.
The flowers have closed their dainty cupa
And try to hide from sight,
The moonbeans touch the tree-top
And paint them glistening white
Oh, artist! can'st thou paint me
"A scene like this Of mine,
Can'st make the dewdrops glisten,
The silvery moon to sinner
Oh, paint me little aower-cups,
Whose perfume fills the air,
Bedew their lovely petals
Display their beauty rare. !
The stars-my living diamonds
Those brilliant eyes Of night
Can'st draw their shape, oh, artist
Their colors, too-their light.
The brush divine that painted this
Is not to mortals given
The colors and the Master Hand
Are only found in Heaven. :.

To be Returned to China.

I AS result of correspondence between
the Department Of Justice and the Treasury
Department, it has been decided to send back
to China the twenty-one Cinnamon who
were smugged into this country
from Mexico, and who are now in
custody in San Diego, Cal They will
be transferred to San Francisco, and placed
on the first steamer sailing for China. This
action is taken on the theory that it is cheap
er and better for the Government to bear the
expense of their return to China, than to
send them back into Mexico and run the
chance of having to re-arrest them and send
them back indefinitely.

Naval Commander McCalla Sus-
l. pended for Three Years.

The action of the Secretary of the Navy
In the case of Commander Bowman H.
McCalla, late commander of the United
States steamship Enterprise, has been
made public. He was tried by court
martial on five charges, as follows: Striking
another person in the navy (Fircman John
E. Walker; violation of the Twentv-fourth
article Of the Articles for the Govern.
ment of tie Navy Gnficting improper pun
ishments): maltreatment OF persons subject
to his orders, conduct unbecoming an officer
of the navy and violation Of the tenth clause
of the twentieth article of tho Articles for
the Government Of the Navy, in failing to
read to the ships company the Articles for
the Government of the Navy.
The court found him guilty of all the
charges, and sentenced him to 'be sus-
pended from rank and duty for period Of
three years and to retain his present num-
Der on the list Of commanders while so sus-
pended"
The Secretary approves the finding Of the
court, Except in that part which finds
that Commander McCalla caused men to be
on the quarterback of the vessel from about
9P. n to about A. N. for four consecutive
nights"
The Secretary reluctantly approves the find
ing that in ironing the men together McCalla
did not impose unauthorized punishment,
and does so only because the court seemed to
think the ironing was necessary at the time.
Accompanying the record in the case is a
Recommendation to clemency, subscribed by
ten Of the twelve members of the court
The Secretary is of opinion, however, that
there are mo grounds which would, in the
Judgment of the department, justify a mti-
cation of the punishment imposed by the
cDurt

The Sale of Liquor in Army Canteens

The Secretary Of War has amended para
graph 800 of the Army regulations as follows:
The sale or use OF ardent spirits or wines
commanding officer is authorized to permit
light beer to be sold therein by the drink, on
week days, and in room used for no
other purpose, and, when practicable, in
a building apart from that in which
the canteen is located whenever he is salts
fed that the giving to the men the oppor-
tunity of obtaining such beverages within the
post limits has the effect of preventing them
from resorting for strong intoxicants to
places without such limits, and tends to pro-
mote temperance and discipline among them.
The practice of what is known as Treating"
must not be permitted.

A Statue of Secretary Stanton.

! The House Library Committee has made
a favorable report on the bill introduced by
Mr.. Boutelle tor the erection Of statue in
Washington City Of Edward N. Stanton,
Lincolns Secretary of War. The statue,
which is to be of heroic SIZE is
to be cast, if possible, from the bronze of
condemned cannon used by the Union forces
in the War of the Rebellion, and is to
stand in the open plaza at the front of
the State, Navy and War Department
Building. An appropriation of S50,
600 is made for the statue ami
pedestal. This is not good year for statues
to public men, but the Library Committee
hoped to get through without difficulty so
worthy project as the erection at the Cap
ital of a fitting memorial os one of the most
commanding figures in the history Of the
Civil War.

HE ALLIANCE AND FE4G PRESS.


At the recent quarterly meeting OF
10 Abbeyillc County Alliance. q res
luton was offered and unanimously
doptcd removing all restrictions
rom the members Of the order in re-
ard to taking the newspapers Of
heir choice. These resolutions are
worthy the high spirit of the order,
nd all the county Alliances of the
State would profit by following the
leadership OF Abbeville in this. There
no antagonism between the cause
i the farmer and the country press,
)ut the cause of the one is the cause
II the other. In season and ont of
season the country newspaper has Ia
oored for the bcttermcnt of the con
htlon OF our farmers. Take the file
u any 0! our country papers and go
'vcr them, and anyone will be con.
'lnced that they lave over been on
ho.sidc CT the farmer. 1T was the
country press that first gave the Far
mersl Alliance headwav, that filed
the sails Of the new and untitled
bark as it was launched on its course
for reform. 1t has been their
nntiring helper and faithful counsel,
OF. It has been their faithful watch
man, ever on the lookout md ready
to warn the order when breakers ap-
peared in it's course. Then why turn
and throttle this faithful ally because
il should still warn them to have q
care while in apparently smooth wa
ter. There is neither justice nor rca
son in it. The farmers do not nj
agree upon certain measures, neither
do newspapers, and it is folly to at
tempt to drown man or destroy hi:
busin oss because you hold differen
opinion on o certain measure. re
do this would be the first fatal stroke
nt our free institutions.
Abbeville county has acted wiscl,
in declaring the boycott off and al
loving the privilege of free speech
aud ffeedom of action and opinion
t5boycott is unworthy Of the order.

The RaggIng 0ucstIon,

The farmers are on top in the iute
baSglng fight. 1t is now ouly about
half tho prico it was before thev
tackled it. They are still keeping m
the fight and intend to fight it to tho
end.
Our merchants are laying in n bio
supply OF sugar sacks us a substitute
for regular juto. bagging. This is
we'll Tor our farmers as it is both
cheap and heavy. We learn that it.
weighs about p pounds to the yard,
and is to be sold at y cents.
Instead of keeping up the fight at
u loss, as was done last year, the far
mers will this year, lose absolutely
nothing i'll weight and get the cover
ing ut less cost than they did last
year.
We arc not informed as to what
quantity of sugar sacks has been
bought, but it is reasonable to SUP.
pose that the supply will not be equal
to the demand, for the reasons that
it is heavier and cheaper than the
Jute hagging. 1t may, therefore, be
we'll for planters to invo 5tigate this
matter and make such ARRANGEMENTS
as they deem most desirable.
In connection with this, we wish to
call the attention Of our farmers TO
tho importance Of packing their cot
ton IN standard balcS-four hundred
pounds.
Six per cent. of tho Gross weight
OF bale is knocked off for the han-
GlnG and ties. The farmer then
should put on six pounds of baeyinm
nnd ties for every hundred pounds Of
the gross weight of the bale. If nc
puts on less than this amount of bag
GInG and ties, he forces himself to
submit to loss of lint cotton.
There is Obliged to be IL loss to the
falmcr of about sixty cents hun.
dred for any excess in the bale over
400 pounds. If Il bale weighs 600
pounds the tarc is 3G pounds. If
only 2l pounds of hagying and ties
rs put on, the farmer loses II pounds
of lint cotton.
Abbcville county has been losing
by packing heavy bales, enough mon
cy to pay her taxes.
There isn't farmer in Abbcvillc
county who packs his cotton in COO
pound bales, who will not lose an
amount equal to his taxes.
The fight on jutc bay%ing, and the
opening of the eyes Of the people to
their loss i'll packing heavy bales, will
be worth to this county alone in years
to come, hundreds of thousands ct
dollars.
When the people find out that they
are losing from SO cents to 81 bale
on heavy bags, they will save by rc-
ducing the weight. This, together
with their victory in reducing the
price OF iutc, should be Il sufficient
rccJmpcnsc for their trouble, even if |
nothing else is gaincd.-AbbcYill:

The Manufactures Record of this
week Says: Regardless Of tho efforts
OF few politicians to retard the
Sonths Industrial progress, the great
mass of American people North and
South are hccominw moro and more
| impressed with the wonderful activi-
ty that IS seen everywhere from Ma
rNland to Texas. Enterprises in.
volvinG millions of dollars are being
pushed ahead by men who wear
or two ago would not believe that The
South POSSESSED the advantages
which the Record has for years
claimed for it; nor would they believe
that it was ever to hold the COM
manding position Industrial matters
which they arc doing all in their
power to give it. At Norfolk and 1T
Salem, Va, plains are being maturcd
by outside capitalists for extensive
steel, plants the one ut Norfolk to
make BcsHcmcr steel from Cuban
ores and the one at Salem, for
basic steel, while at Bcuna Vista the
money has been raised for $500, ,0O1
steel plant. At Trcdcgar, Ala, work
has been commenced upon tho large
steel enterprise recently reported,
which is to have daily capacity of
300 tons Of finished steel, and include |
rolling mill, rail mill and cotton tic
mill. Here are four great stccl-mnk-
ing enterprises which are hut signs of |
the times that indicate that the South |
Is now to turn its attention to steel |
making with the same vigor that it has
for several Years given to the increase
IN IRON production. This is the !
rounding out of the South'S develop
mcnt, and is but the natural order Of
growth from the first stages of n
rom'ry's development III the max
nG of the coarscr grades of goods to
thr finer productions. AS in iron
..nl Steel so will it be in the manu-
lactmrc Of cotton goods, for the South
having gained control of the market
for the cheaper grades Of cotton
goods will, now turn its attention to
finer qualities, and in all other lines
"t4 industry We may look for the
| same evolution.
