EUROPEAN WAR CLOUDS LOWERING

Startling Disclosures Concerning the
Propagation OF Socialistic ideas.
LONDON, March 29.-This evenings
advices from Berlin state that unusual
activity has prevailed for the past three
days in the var office, and that an un-
usual number of employees were busy at
the office to-day. The Emperor had a
long audience with Chancellor Caprivi,
and the high officials generally look as if
something important was on the tapis.
There is no doubt that the movements
OF Russian troops near the German
frontier and the evidence of the cordial
intimacy between Russia and France
has caused much anxiety in Berlin, and it
is possible that the alarm caused by the
apprehension Of wal may lead to impor-
tant military changes.
Besides, the thought that Russia and
France may be preparing for war, the
German government is said to be very
much stirred up owe startling facts that
have been disclosed in regard to the So
cialistic propaganda in the army. The
military authorities have come into pos
session, through Il recent arrest, of evil
dence going to show that the social de-
mocracy has been spreading its doctrines
throughout the ranks, both of the army
and navy, and has made numerous pro-
elyites, and that the propagation of
socialism among the troops is not con-
fined to Germany, but is Systematically
carried on throughout Europe, with the
exception of Russia, and that all the ar
mics of Western Europe are honey.
combed with the subGersive ideas Of the
pledged enemies Of established institu-
tions. The Kaiser, it is stated, has
given directions that the evil shall be
dealt with most radically, so far as Ger
many is concerned, and any officer or
soldier detected in propagating the pre-.
hibited opinions shall be punished with
the utmost severity.
The information ascertained has also
been sent to Austria, Belgium and Italy
for the war Offices in those countries to
be on their guard.

Wide Awake for Education.

BLACKvILLE, March 25.-The COM
mittee appointed by the Baptist Assoc
citation to take under consideration the
advisability Of establishing a school of a
high grade for boys and girls in this
county met here on Wednesday. Reports
from all sections of the county were very
interesting and enthusiastic. The O
ject is bound to be a success. After
hearing these reports the committee
agreed to organize for business. and the
following committees were appointed:
A committee after circulation, q commit
tee TO get up plans for building, and a
committee on bids for location.
The object o fthe Baptists is to raise an
amount OF at least $4,000 for buildings,
together wit. ten acres Of land, on which
the buildings will be placed. The build
ing will consist of a large three-story
school building. On these grounds they
propose erecting suitable buildings to be
used for boarding purposes, thereby not
only placing the children directly under
the supervision Of the professors, but
greatly reducing expenses, as they claim
the charges Tor board will be very
moderate.
While this school will be instituted by
the Baptist denomination, it is not, how
ever. intended to be sectarian, as 1t will
be open for all and help viii be received
from all. The committee on bids, con-
sistiDg of the Revs g.. p. Erwin, Bam-
berg, w. ID. Mcmillan, Blackvlllc, and
w. ID. Rice, Graham, are authorized to
ask from the towns in-the county the
amount that they are willing to give for
the location ofthe school In their respcc .
tive towns. These bids are to be closed
on September Is next.
This is certainly big thing and will be
q great addition to our county and a per-
feet bonanza for the town that succeeds
in securing it.-NeWs and Courier.

"A double murder and suicide occurred

New York, March 3O.-An evening
paper says that G, ngressman Jerry
Simpson, of Kansas, was at the Windsor
Hotel to-day. He occupied q Sc a day
room and seemed to be perfectly at

that the Farmers Alliance is in with the

publicans declare we are nothing but

Why should L not want to see him

cause it would lessen our chances in the

"How do you expect to have q balance
OF power in the Senate by the election
of Senator Palmer?"
EASY enough. He is a Democrat and
will vote against protection and against

The First II ONE Made Robol Gun.

The first gun made tor the Confeder-

the Summer of 1861. 1t was carried
through part Of the war by a young man
of Holly Springs, a friend OF Mr.. Nc
Elwaine. %0rigiuallyit had a rifled bar
rel. About the middle of the war the
barrel was injured bv a ball, and the
gun was retuned to Mr.. McElwaine, who
cut it off at the injured point and bored
1t for n shot gun.
Mr.. McElwaine was q native Of Pitte-
field, Massachusetts. where he learned
the trade of q machinist. Afterward lie
worked in a gun factory in New York,
and then moved to Sandusky. 5 Ohio,
where he engaged in the foundry bust
ness. In 1850 he went or a prospecting
trip to Mississippi. He settled at Holly
Springs, and In a crude way began the
foundry business with two partners
When the warbegan the company had a
we'll equipped establishment, which Pre-
sident DAVIS induced the owners to con-
vert into an armory. Small arms were
badly needed, and Mr.. McElwaine
planned and made the necessary machln-
cry for manufacturing them. With his
own hands he made the first gun, which
his daughter now preserves.

 Among the Standing Committees.
 NEW YORK, June 9.-The dioceses of the Protestant Episcopal Church through out the country have given Rev. pr.

The vote stands as follows:
 Affirmative-New York, Albany, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Western Missouri, North Carolina, Southern Ohio, Indiana, Central Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michi- gan, Connecticut, Maryland, Nebraska, Missouri, Minnesota, Long Island, Cali fornia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Vir- ginia, Kentucky, Virginia, Kansas, Vest ern Michigan, Florida, Delaware, Louisi- ana, Pittsburg.-29.
 NegaGive-Newark, Iowa, Milwaukee, Chicago, Mississippi, Maine. Texas, Fond du Lac, Springfield.-9.
 AS soon as the Massachusetts diocese receives formal notice from the necessary number of standing committees its officers will communicate with Bishop Williams, the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States, and he will ask the seventy-four bishops to say yes or no to the question of Phillips Brooks's conservation. He ought to get the answers within two weeks.

Willie's Disaopointment.

Willie was very fond of raisins, but in his childish vocabulary the fruit was known as "reasons." Sitting demure1y in church one Sunday he was quite de- lighted to hear the clergyman say in the course of his sermon: "I will give you my reasons later" When at the close of the sermon the contribution plate was being passed he was sure the promised treat was forthcoming, and it was a much perplexed and disappointed little boy who said after the service: 'Mr. S. said he would give us some reasons, but when they passed the plate there wasn't a reason on it!''
