o, SUCH CROCODILE TEARsl

The Kansas City Times of November
5 publishes d very pathetic editorial
appeal to former Democrats who have
strsyed into the Populist party because
they believed that the Democratic
party had become too corrupt to ever
expect needed reforms to be accom-
plished by 1t, to return to their former
allegiance. 1t points to the overthrow
Of the corrupt ring in New York and
Chicago, and to the recent defeat of
the German ring In Maryland as eVi.
dence that the party is capable Of re.
form. Unfortunately for the theory
of the Times, the party is not reformed
in the cases alluded to. The corrupt
rings still remain and they are still
Democratic rings, The people have
merely repudisted them for the time
being to give the Republican rings
chance. After q while, when the Re.
publican rings have become too intOl.
erable to be longer endured, the people
will repudiste them In turn, aud the
old Democratic rings will be ''in It"

600. Everywhere we have made gains,
but our readers will have to walt pa.
tiently for the correct figures until we
can obtain them from the weekly Pop
ulist papers of the several States, the
business Of the Associated Press being
to suppress and falsify everything re-
lating to our party,
We have not even the returns from
Kansas yet. The general result is
known, but that is all. Judge Martin
Is, Of course, elected, as everybody
knew that he would be, but the great
overwhelming vote which the Repub-
nCan gang had anticipated to count as
q purely Republican majority, failed
to materialize. The county officers
elected this year are to fill the places Of
those elected two years ago, and suffi-
Clent returns have been received to
show that we have made q gain in the
number of Populist officers, though
hosO noGny we have gained is not yet
known. The result will be tsbulsted
In the ADVOCATE in due time. For
the time being it is sufficient to say
that 2opulists have no reason to be dis
couraged on account of the vote in any
part Of the country.

In this city the redeemers performed a

at that time, to exultation in conse-
quence Of temporary victory, but not

cepted. The Kansas City Journal did
say that the ghost Of the party was still
wandering about in places, and the
only conclusion that we can come to is
that there is q whole lot of those ghosts

one Of the founders of the oil m >nop-
oily no one had said that he accumu-
lated his millions in any way that in
terfered with the accumulation of
others. In 1895 the Supreme court of
Ohio found as reported in volume 43
Of the Ohio State report, that the mo-
nopoly had freight contract with the
Lake Shore railroad "to keep the price
down for the favored customers and
up for all Others" and the court said:
"The inevitable tendency and effect of
this contract was to enable this COM
psny to ruin all other operators and
drive them out of business and the
court snnulled the contract as unlsW.
full. With the help of such unlawful
contracts the capital of the oil monop-
oily has increased in thirty years from
nothing to hundreds of millions of
dollars"

The Girl Evangelist.

! The young colored girl evangelist,
Claretta Nora Avery, who has been
creating such STIR among the negroes
in this State, spent last week in Ben
nettsYille, preaching in the Colored
Baptist Church. During her stay in
Bennettsville your correspondent
heard her twice, the first time she
preached by special invitation in the
Courthouse to large audience COM
posed of whites and colored and va
riously estimated at from 500 to !, 900.
Her text on the former occasion was,
"Behold how good and how pleasant q
thing it is for brethren to dwell to-
gether in unity on the latter, eye
must be born again" She is a most
remarkable negro. She is only nine
years old, yet her pronunciation is
distinct, her English is good, her read
ing is excellent and her delivery easy;
graceful and childlike. There is in
her discourses, however, no logical
sequence of thought. She is evidently
phenomenon on tie "BlinG Tom
order. She possesses a remarkable
memory, and in her day has heard
some good sermons and is able to re-
peat about one third of each of them.
Your correspondent was impressed
with the marked similarity between
each of the sermons he heard. It is
curious, however, to note the supersti-
tions among the enegroes regarding her,
some of them believing that she is an
angel sent from God.

OCCIrRRENCES WORTH NOTING
FROM ALL OVER THE STATE.
Hog and Hominy in York.

There has, perhaps, been less corn
and bacon sold to the farmers of York
County during the present year than
during any year since the war, and
the outlook now is that even less will
be sold next year than this, as the corn
acreage IS the largest in the history
of the county, and according to the re-
turns as made to the county auditor,
there has been very gratifying increase
in the number Of hogs that will be
ready to be converted into bacon, hams
and lard this winter, as compared to
last. and that of last winter was larger
than in any one year within the recol-
lection of the writer. There has been
no considerable increase in the supply
of home raised flour, but it is to be
hoped that now that there are local
facilities for producing first-class roller
process flour, the farmers will t'tke adj
vantage of their opportunities and
raise all the wheat necessary for making
their own biscuits on their own farms.
Everybody, or almost everybody, au-
ticipates great improvement in the
business affairs of this section during
the coming fall and winter, as compared
with the past three or four. years.
While the cotton acreage is not SO
large as last year, and the yield will
not be so great, it is the general opinion
that better prices Will be realized, and
as a consequence there will be more
money than usual with which to do
business.

Clarendon Crops.

Crops in Clarendon County have
done all the impa, tial farmer can ex.
pect of them for the SEASON of '95.
The experimentation can go through
the fields now, and quite accurately
Judge the yield per acre. The cotton
crop is very inferior compared to the
crop Of '94. Ninety-fve per cent Of
the cotton Of this section has complet-
ed its mission Of '95, when in other
years the top crop is making ct this
season. Cotton is about so per cent
compared with 1894. Corn is very
good, that is there is larger acreage
this year, bat several experienced
farmers estimate the yiei | is j. per
cent off compared with 1891. This is
due to nnfavornble seasons and th4
small quantity OF guano used.
