Called the Holy Cues.

RALEIGH, n. c., December 1.-The
community is being regaled by new
religious sect who call themselves the
"Holy Ones" A man by tho nano of u.
Loney, who cnme hero from Richmond,
Va, is the leader. lie claims to be sent
of God 70 give the last warning to the
saints and adInonishes his hearers to soil
all their property and give it to the sus-
tenance of tho Gospel, which Gospel j.
represented by Lonoy. With this man
came four women and they have been
preaching in tho suburbs of this city.
Loney teaches that unless both men and
women arc sanctitied by the Gospel
before marriage, that when married they
are violating Gods Ia. and that those
who married before they were sanctiiied
must leave their wives and husbands Or
they will be lost forever.
This new sect has rapidly increased,
and now numbers several hundred. At
their meetings it is usual to call upon all
present who belong to the "Holy Ones
TO give up all their iewolry, and they pl!o
it up on the floor in tho middle of tho
church, and frequently on the ground
when they gather out of doors, aud then
Loney and his four women tnko posses
sion of it and it Is mover seen any more.
They teach that it is wrong to call i'll
doctor when anyone is sick, and one
woman is known to have permitted her
child to die Of pneumonia rather than
commit sin by calling in Il doctor.
They also teach that the men of their
sect may have as many wives as they
choose, if tho women belong to the sect,
and that member may barter with
another male member OF the sect for a
new one, provided the woman belongs to
the scot. Many silly women have been
infatuated and have sold their personal
property and given it to the leader.
Some hnvo left their husbands and chill
dren and are now with the band trav-
Cling over the State proselytinS whoever
they can.

Flo on Ysu, Farmers.

To the Editor Of the Ne,Os and Courier j.:
It was with pleasure that I read your
CONNER on the conduct Of certain leg
islators who raised litter when Mr..
Coyington had the temerity to introduce
a bill to tax dogs. 1t has been the GUS
tom from time immemorial to meet this
question in this way, by ridicule, for
there is no argument that can reach it..
Common sense, facts and figures, all
show how important it is to have some
such law, and 1t is amazing to see farm-
ers dodging this issue that so deeply
affects the interest OF the whole State out
side OF the cities. -,
I do hope that this Legislature will
meet the difficulty, for 1t seems to be
quite difficulty, and give some protec-
ton from the dog nuisance. We have a
right to expect such a reform after such
high-sounding promises rs have been
made. It is not surprising to see men of
other professions ignore this subject, but
when T see farmer lodging it l can't do
the subject justice, for no man can prop
erly claim that he ia working for the in
forest OF farmers who opposes bill that
has for it's object the protection Of prop
elty, and there is no way In which our
property is 80 much endangered by the
depreciation Of other peoples property Ms
this. A proper tax will bring destruc-
ton on most OF the worthless dogs that
run mad and bite your children, and he
who owns good dog will cheerfully pay
a reasonable tax on his dog, and then he
should be Protected in the ownership OF
his dog and made liable for the sheep
killed by him. This can be done by the
use OF q block and chain at night. l
do hope some good may be done in this
line to encourage the sheep raiser.

The Phosphate Industry.

A late census bulletin gives us Rome
interesting facts in regard to the phos-
pbate industry, Of which but little has
hitherto been known. "The Palmetto
State' has hitherto not figured very con-
spicuously 10 its mineral output, but
since tha discovery Of phosphate it has
forged to the front and is now able to in
vite comparison with almost any South
ern State in this particular.
There were but six tons Of phosphatea
mined in 1867. The output had increas-
ed to 81 1858 tons in 1889, to l99,365 tons III
1879, and to 541, ,615 In 1889, the census
wear. The industry calls for &, 1866, us OF
capital, requires 4,932 mon, who receive
SI,14o,9 ,967 in wages, and turns cut pro-
duct of 81, 49,, ,276.
The phosphate mines paid the Stats
royalties to the amount OF S2l2, luz IN 1853
"a material addition to Its revenues.
The phosphate industry OF Seath Caro-
lima has not only benefited that State,
but the rest Of the South as well, for it
has furnished the cheap commercial
fertilizers necessary for soil i'm
poverished by excessive cultivation in
cotton, tobacco and other exhausting
crops.
The restoration Of waste lands in the
SOutuSTu htlaht!S Sts.oS1 " AtoA A''N
been given up to cultivation because
their fertility was supposed to be de-
stroyed, Is largely due to the develop
ment of phosphates in Carolina, which
State has been furnishing the neighbors
with 375, 900 tons Of fertilizers annually.
Another advantage which this industry
enjoys is the fact that large quantities OF
phosphate are shipped to foregn points as
ballast under cotton, thus assuring cheap
transportation.
At the time the enumeration was made
Florida, although known to have phos'
pilates, had not yet developed them to
any extent. In tho last few years 1t has
been discovered that the "Land of Flow
ers" has as rich deposit of phosphates
as South Carolina itself The rapidity
with which these deposits have been de-
veloped may be imagined from the fact
that single Florida town, Fernandina,
which shipped only 1924 tons in 1890,
had increased its exports to 1890 in 1881
and to 104,sA tons up to October
81 Of this year. The joint South Caro-
lima and Florida product will run up for
1892 to 500, 900 tons, worth probably 81,
100000.
There WAS no State from which less WAS
expected in mineral way than Florida.
It seemed an even more unpromising
field for mineralogists than Louisiana,
and yet 1t is turning out a large mineral
output each year, thanks to its phos-
pilates. Louisiana has no reason to give
up the hope that it also will one day fig
ure among the mineral States.-Nca0 Or

COTTON CROP ESTIMATE.

At the request of tho Augusta Chronicle,
Mr.. Alfred B. Shepperson, the we'll
known cotton statistician, has been inter-
viewed by reporter of the Southern
Associated Press. From the data at hand
gathered from official, public and private
sources-Mr. Shepperson basing his con-
clusions on the correctness OF the infor-
nation available, thinks that the crop Of
1928 will bo 6,5oO,oo bales OF less. Ho
says the amount Of the crop received since
Sept. 1st, is 100000 bales less than for
the same time last year and that it is
reasonable to presume that the move
ment can easily be over million bales
less than during last season.
This would make the crop of this year
2,645, bales less than tho commercial
crop of last year.
With this enormous shortage in the
crop Of last year, and bearing in mind tho
important fact that the worlds consump-
ton for the current year will be 100000
bales, it can readily be seen that cotton is
necessarily obliged to advance sharply in
price. Ever aimee Mr.. Shepperson wrote
the Chronicle early in September, we
have contended that cotton was obliged
to advance. With the facts before us we
arc hrmly convinced that higher prices
will obtain, and that tits not e1traTagant
to assert that middling cotton will be in
demand before long at 10 cents per pound.
All the chances are in favor of irm and
advancing market. We do not look for
lower prices. The statistical position OF
cotton is SO strong that we confidently
anticipate highor prices.
For the important information given to
the world by Mr.. Shepperson he is enti-
tied to the high appreciation and gratitude
Of the people of the South. His interview
comes at most opportune time to sus-
tain the market and stimulate prices. 1t
cannot fail to do both.

: An old farmer from Jackson county

recently talked::with tho Athens Banner,
and thus explained the cause of hard
times: "It is not the low price Of cotton
said the farmer, for I have often sold 1t
for six and seven cents, and thought
was doing we'll, but carried all the
money home with mo; | did not leave
any Of it in Athens, for I made what |
needed on the farm. You don't have any
old-fashioned gins and screws to pack
cotton in you don't hear the wheels and
cards going in the kitchen on rainy
day; you don't see any plow stocks, axe
hsndlos, hoe handles, baskets and horse
collars made at home. You all 90 to town
and get them. You dent SEQ any big
pom full of fattening hogs around tho
house. You ge to town and get your
meat. Ifyou will go back to those old
times aud make what you live OIL at
home, there will be no third party nor
anyone asking for $50 per capita, You
20 to town too often after things that can
be raised at home. ssTry it and see if an
not right"

Representative Breazeale has introduc-
ed 3 bill in the Legislature to require all
insurance companies doing business in
the State to invest in and deposit S25, 900
worth Of State bonds with the State
Treasurer, and IL It becomes law the
result will be that every irst-class,
reliable company will withdraw its busi-
ness from the State. Such legislation is
unwise and uncalled for, and will not be
endorsed by any common sense business
man in the State. What benefit would
the mass Of people Of South Carolina de-
rive from such a law?

A bright Georgia exchange says: at
is positively true that some people
would want relief if they were going to
be hung. That stale cry Of hard times,
no money, short crops, cotton all sold,
got nothing for it, would still be shouted
by some men if they had bale Of cotton
from every acre and realized 20 cents a
pound for it. They would still find
something or somebody to abuse fer
sending our country to the devil. It's
the hustler, tie man who looks upon the
bright sido of things, who heartily thanks
God for the privilege of even brief
sojonrn in this beautiful world, that
makes life pleasure

The Gould will is an attempt to found
great family, supported by a property
entailed upon it as far as circumstances
permit. After the individual legacies,
the will provides that the property is to
be divided into six shares to be held in
trust by his executors and trustees for
his six children, who under the will are
to be his executors and trustees as we'll
as his heirs. His intention is that they
shall hold the immense property togeth
or, and he specially provides that tine
railroad shares shall be voted as unit at
all public meetings. He has done his
best to turn his family into corporation
and to make it immensely powerful for
an indefinite period.

The Boston Globe says the Clerk Of the
House Of Representatives haa compiled
what may be taken as an official list Of
the representatives of the hfty-third Con-
gress. Leaving out the two membor,
from Rhode Island, not yet elected, and
one from Michigan, yet in doubt, the list
shows 2l7 Democrats, l2S Republicans
and eight Populists. The largest Repub-
lican representation in any State is twenty
for Pennsylvania, as against ten Demo-
Gratis. The largeAt exclusively Demo
cra'ic representation is thirteen from
Texas, and the largest exclusively Re-
publican representation IL four from
Maine. Illinois has tie representation.
In Colorado tho populi,ts have the Con
gressmen all to themselves. Such an
Overwhelming Democratic majority ought
to be a very handy thing to have in the
House. The people who elected this
great majority expect it to fulfill well its
many and great responsibilities.
