A remarkable instance is given below
Of the dash, ingenuity and enterprise Of
this age. In twenty-five hours trees are
taken from the forest and converted into
paper, with the latest news spread upon
it, ready for the reader. How astonishing
such paragraph would have been to the
ancient Egyptian writer who laboriously
engraved his characters on the papyrus,
where so much time was required to pro-
duce a single copy that none but the
wealthy could buy them, 30 great was the
cost of production. He would have re-
iected it as untrue We accept it without
question or surprise. The paragraph is as
follows: "Mr. singerly has made an inter.
esting experiment as to the time requir-
ed to print his Philadelphia Record upon
paper direct from the tree. This is the
record: Chopping one and half cords
poplar wood, stripping and loading on
boat, three hours; time consumed in
manufacture of wood pulp, twelve hours ;
manufacturing the wood pulp into paper,
FIVE hours; transporting to Record Office,
one hour and twenty minutes; wettipg
paper preparatory to printing, thirty
minutes; printing 10000 Records, ten
minutes. Total time from tree to paper,
TWENTY-FIVE hours"

A Secret Political Society.

Topeka, KAN, June 2.-The Grand
Lodge, Knights of Reciprocity, is now in
session in this city. This new organiza-
tion was called into existence by the in
roads made in Republican ranks by the
Alliance, although its founder had COM
menced work upon its principles long be-
fore. The membership has been rapidly
extending in this and other StateB, until
now there are seven Grand lodges. In
Kansas there are sixty lodges, with
membership of about ten thousand. Mis-
souri, has thirty lodges, with promise of
an even hundred before the end of July.
Nebraska, where the Alliance is strong,
has nearly forty lodges. In other States
the strength is less.
The Knights of Reciprocity form Sc.
cret political organization, opposed to
third party of any kind. 1t is Republican
throug ghout and, while not pretending 10
direct the party at present, it expects soon
to have strength enough to control it, as
the party workers are rapidly entering
it.
The Grand Judge, in his first annual
address tonight, declared that the OBJ
iects of the Order were to bring about
changes in the administration of the Gov
ernment by aud through the Republican
party. He disputes the idea that recip~
rocity is free trade, and declares that it is
fair trade only. He warns the Order
against all class legislation, such as OBJ
tains in the Alliance, which he declares is
founded to benefit one class to the injury
of all others. He would have this new
Order cast its weight in the Government
scale for the benefit of the entire people
of all occupations. He especially de-
clares that only in the Republican party
can be found the principles of true re-
formation.
This Order has its signs, grips and pass
words. It admits women as we'll as men
over IS years Of age. Negotiations are
now pending to take in the Knights and
Ladies of fAmerica, numbering about 4, 600
which is similar secret politi.
cal society in this State.

Dedication OF n Church.

Last Sunday 9th inst.) was great day
with our colored brethren at Liberty
Church, in Hnnea Path. A very large
congregation came together to witness the
dedication services. The sermon was
preached by Rev. L. Y. Gasaway, of An.
derson, from Ps. 81 and L How amiable
are thy tabernacles, 0 Lord of hosts" The
writer was not there in time to hear the
sermon, but heard it favorably spoken Of.
The Church building cost about $1,000, and
is a neat, comfortable building. The
Church was organized in 1866. Rev. w.
P. Martin and Rev. R. King assisting in
the organization. They have had three
pastors. Rev. Stewart Oliver, the present
pastor, has served them faithfully since
1880. Under his ministry the new house
has been erected, and be desires to thank
the white people for their generous help in
building the house. The mem bership is
now about $50. After the Dedication q
collection was taken, amounting to $500,
which was very good considering the scar
city of money. The writer made some re-
marks at the close of the services. We hope
that the Church will be prosperad more
aud more as the years roll by. We were
glad to be present, and judge from the mp.
pearance Of the people that they must be
in q prosperous condition.

Frequently We hear stories told Of boys

call the father "Elias," and the boy we
will name "Hamp.n The father, it
seems, had great fondness for having
some one fondle with and comb his hair
especially when he desired taking nap.
Hamp had been at work all the week up
to Saturday at noon, and was desirous Of
going fishing in the afternoon. He
asked his father the privilege and his reply
was, "get the fine comb, and comb my head,
aud if you find louise you may co." so
the son went vigorously to work to cap
ture the animal, but at one time he was
almost despondent, not finding one. An
other idea struck him, and, sitting at the
old mans back, he deliberately removed
his own hat, and bringing the comb
across his scalp, he joyfully exclaimed,
"I've got it," He went fishing, and the
old man never knew of the trick played
on him. But Hamp, who is now father,
may soon fall heir to similar joke.

Fair Play Items,

We had very heavy wind, rain and hail
storm last Saturday night. It hailed about
twenty minutes. The hail.stones were
small but done some damage to cotton and
corn. It was the heaviest rain that has
fallen in this section this year, washing
land badly. Streams were the fullest they
have beer this year, but We came of light
to what some have, especially on the road
leading from this place to Earle's Bridge.
On the plantation Of N. o. Farmer the hail
beat his cotton and corn up terribly, the
wind blew his pasture fences down, and he
was compelled to build them up Sunday
morning to keep his stock up. Mr.. Calvin

Senator German is not the only DEM
ocrat who believes the force bill, which
the Republicans tried SO hard to pass in
the last Congress, will be brought up
again. Senator Faulkner, of West Vir-
ginia, who was Senator Gorman's most
active lieutenant in the famous fight the
Democrats made against the force bill in
the Senate, was in the city for short
time during the week. TO reporter
he said: "Some Democratic papers have
shown an inclination to deprecate and
make light Of Senator Gorman's declara-
ton that the force bill is still living
issue. But Senator German knew what
he vas talking about. The force bill is
not yet dead. 1t will be revived just as
soon as the Republicans see "a chance to
pass it. Ifby any means next year the
Republicans should again gain control
Of both branches Of Congress and elect q
President, one of the first things they
will try to do will be to pass force bill.
They have not given up the idea by any
means."

the lightning is at the least distances. III
precise terms, according to NJ. Hirn, the
beginning of the thunder clap gives us
the minimum distance of the lightning,
and the length of the thunder clap gives
US the length of the column. He also re-
marks that when a flash of lightning
strikes the ground it is not necessarily
from the place struck that the first noise is
heard. Again, he points out that bull
let whistles in traversing the air, 80 that
we can, to a certain extent, follow its
flight; the same thing also happening
with falling meteorite just before strik.
ing the earth. The noise actually heard
has been compared to the sound produc-
ed when one tears linen. 1t is due really
to the fact that the air rapidly pushed on
one side in front of the projectile, wheth-
er bullet or meteorite, quickly rushes
back to fill the gap left in the rear.

As matter of fact, when was Henry
W., Grady born2 Was it on the Oath of
April, 1850, as Joel Chandler Harris as
serts; or did it occur on the 18th of May,
1851, as J. Marion Verdery says; or was
B. 81. samett right when he says it took
place on May "a, 1850? "Twice told
tales" are all right, but thrice born
babes won't do. Yet Joel Chandler
Harris, of the Constitution, who recently
edited q biography of Mr.. Grady. allowed
his birth to be accredited in the same
book to each of the dates given above,
and each writer knew whereof he spoke,
presumably, and each spoke of the same
"Henry Wood6n Grady" These discrep.
ancies detract seriously from an other
wise pleasant book. Some of these fel.
lows who can never get at facts will have
to be "born again" before they shuttle
of, or be compelled to stay where it is too
hot for comfort; or perhaps they would
not have been missed if they had never
been born at all.

On our first page will be found spe-
cial to the Columbia State from Sumter,
that the condition of the sixty
seven convicts which lay over there
for few hours was shocking"
&c. This report was coroborated by the
local paper. The Superintendent of the
Penitentiary denies that their condition
was such as to justify these articles. The
States correspondent has replied vigor-
ously, and asserts that their condition
was SIS bad as reported. He annexes
certificates from number of the Sumter
people, among them the depot agent and
chief of police, who sustain the article
in question. The truth seems to be that
these unfortunate prisoners were without
shoes, were badly clothed, we're in q
filthy condition, and at that particular
time would be without food for twenty.
four hours. This was an accident, We
hope. and will not occur sgain. Still, it
deserves criticism, and is sure to get it.

point, and will be if the company that
has charge of the road will only investi-

the road will find that the most practical
route, all things considered, is the one by

Every place along this line has signifed
its willingness to aid the road materially.

A New Sub.Treasury Scheme.

TOPEKA, KAN, June THE Alliance
Executive Committee of Kansas is con-
sidering gigantic scheme, which practi.
cally places the Sub-treasury plan of the
National Farmers Alliance in the hands
of private capitalists. j. G. Hopkins,
who was delegate fiom the New York
Economic Club at the Cincinnati conven.
ton, is the originator of the scheme. The
plan is to establish bank in each Coun.
ty of the State, under the direction of the
local Alliance Exchange. The capital
stock is to be furnished by private sub
scriptions, as in other banks, except that
as far as possible the subscribers are to be
members of the Alliance.
In connection with each bank an eleva-
tor or storehouse is to be built. A farmer
may then dump his grain into the eleva-
tor, receiving for it a check for 80 per
cent. of the value Of the grain deposited
by paying small per centage for storage
and insurance. he will be allowed to
keep his grain in depository until such
time as he may deem it bast to place it
on the market.
Corn, wheat, rye, oats, tobacco, cotton,
silk, castor beans, or any other imperish.
able farm product, the price of which is
not liable to too great fluctuations, is to
be received at the depository and deposit
checks issued on 80 per cent. of it's value.
The amount of grain deposited in this
way must not exceed the amount of stock
subscribed for the bank. AS soon as the
capital of such bank is subscribed, 20
per cent. of the same must be paid in. Of
this, one half must be deposited in the
home bank to take up checks offered,
then the balance will be deposited in New
York, where most checks are ultimately
taken up.
The checks to be issued by these banks
are peculiarly devised and are printed in
colors. Some have already been printed
and it is the judgment of Alliance officers
that they would be quite as hard to coun.
terfeit as national bank note. Each de.
position receives a check book with checks
made out in small amounts, total not to
exceed 80 per cent. of the value of the
grain or other product deposited. These
are made payable in gold or silver at
any of the banks run in this manner, and
it is intended that they shall be circulated
as money. They are first made out in
the name of the depositor and afterward
endorsed by him and made payable to
bearer.
