THAT BEEF POOL
Exists Only in the Imagination of a Reporter, Say the Chicago Pack
 ers-Cattle Are Scarce.

CHICAGO, April 10.-The story tele- graphed from New York to a morning pa per that the recent advance in beef was not justified and that the big Chicago packers were making an effort to control the meat market of the country and advance prices 10 consumers is emphaiically denied by Nell son Morris, George F. Swift, Armour & Co. and other packers.
 '.The advance Of prices in dressed beef, !"
 said Nelson Morris this morning, "is the
 natural result Of the scarcity of cattle. All ready this year the receipts of cattle at the
 four prime cipal points-Chicago, St. Louie,
 Omaha and Kansas City-are 300, 00O head
 behind last years record. Last week the receipts were %, 900 head short, which is equal to 1S,OOO, 900 of dressed beef. We are 16, 900 head short this week. Tae price of live stock is now $2 per 100 pounds higher than it was last year and l expect to see
 prices go still hieher.'
 MT. Swift also denied that there was a
 combine among the packers, and said the cattle market was 60 per c.nt higher now than it was last year, which fact is advanc- ing the price of beef to consumers. Manager Faveritt of Pnillip D. Armour & Co. said the statement that pool had been formed by the big western packers to advance the price of beef was absurd. "It is scarcely worth denying, o said he. "The only cause for the high price of cat tie are the scarcity of beeves and the failure of the corn crop. The latter is, of course, the cause of the former. We are not work ing for the interests of other packers-that is certain. Besides it would be impossible to form tue alleged pool, so diversified are the interests of the western packers. Last Saturdays receipts were the lowest have ever known them-onty 500 head. l do not know anything about other markets,
 but one has only to use his eyes to see how things are going here.'

BIG AND BITTER
Is the Pill, but Li Hung Chang Is Get ting Ready to Swallow It-Sylla-
 bus of Japan's Conditions.

wAsHINeToN, April 10.-The cable au : nouncement that seven of Japan's eight conditions have been accepted by Peace Commissioner Li Hung Chang was very gratifying to the diplomats here, who have no longer any doubt that the petc procla- nation will speedily result. As under stood in Washington, the eight conditions were as follows:
 l. Independence of Corea.
 2. Cession of Formosa.
 8. Cession of the Lao Tang promontory, including Port Arthur.
 4. War indemnity.
 5. Admission Of machinery in China and permission to foreigners to establish facto- ries.
 6. Modification of likin taxes and exten- sion of the system of transit passes for im- ports.
 2. Opening certain Chinese rivers to commerce, includ ng the Yang-.se- Kiang, to Chung ki4ng ,tbe Sinag from HanSow on the Yangsee to Slang Tan Kiang, the Can. ton river to Ouchow and Woosung and it's canals as far as Suchow and Hanchow.
 8. Railway privileges and smaller con- sessions to Japanese and foreign capitai- isis.
 In addition to these conditions it is be- lieved certain promises will ba exacted from China, the terms of which are to remain secret. A condition which 1t is thought has not yet been accepted by Lii Hung is
  the occupation of that portion of territory known as the Regents Sword and the cita- del of Port Arthur. That this would be most strenuously opposed by China has all along been undouoted, and It has besn pre- dicted that 1t might prove stumbling block of such dimensions as to prevent peace, unless some compromise could be agreed upon as to the time of occupation; {; Chinese being likely to insist that it should not be permanent. All other conditions, hot of hHT hpan a subject of diplomatic consideration for many years, and all treaty powers are as deeply interested in them as Japan has been. The United States have been par ticularly active Tn urging t. abolition of the likin tax ,whi :h is not unliks the octroi of France, though less reasonable aud less limited than the French system.
 The independence of Corea has always been A contention, and the United States have firmly maintained that Corea was to be treated as an independent nation since her minister at Washington was recognized ten years ago,

GEORGIA BAPTISTS.
A Hot Debate on the Subject of Mis- sions--The ConveI on l. Rush;ng
 Business-Adjourns Today.

SAVANNAH, Ga., April 10.-A Morning News special from waycross, Ga., says: The State Baptist convention was opened this morning at S:3O o'clock by the presi- dent, who read the foriieih Psalm.
 h the matter of missions, resolution which was acopted after much discussion yesterday afternoon, was referred to again this morning. Some of those who voted for Gsmbrell's resolution stated this morn ing that they did not exactly understand the meaning of a part Of the resolution, and lively discussion followed.
 The substance of the resolution is that the circumstances affecting lhe home and foreign m,ssion boards be rtfsrred 10 ihe state miss ion board for an equitable settle ment. The resolution, it appears, in- clnded provision tbat the state mission boards act in the matter under instructions from the convention. Tie wold "equtable'' in the resolution caused much discussio Hs it ref cted upon The existing state of affairs connected with the home and foreign mission boards. It ap- pears that the home and foreign mission funds are now collected in the state by the state mission board, and thnt these boards are required to ny 10 the state board one third of the expense of collecting. It was arg sued that the stale board should tear the expenses of collecting the funds for the home and foreign mission boards. During the discussion of the resolution, when it was first introduced by MT. Gamble, a member stated that the Baptists of the state believed that when they contributed to the funds of the home aud foreign mis- sions boards every cent would go to the cause of missions and that none of the funds would be paid 10 officers. He ob- served that the agent and secretary of the a n n fact which the majority of the Baptistsai in the state do not understand.
 The previous question was called after addresses on and objections were made by Drs. Grambell, Marshall and others. The motion, with an amendment, which re- ferred the matter 10 the state board for set- tlement, was adopted.
 The convention is rushing it's business |, and 1t will adjourn tomorrow afternoon. |. The various committees will submit their reports tomorrow, and in the rush to ad- journ they will be adopted without much discussion.

Fsl. Statements and Misrspressnta-
 ffaua.


 Corruption does not exist in politics alone. The time was when people were shocked to hear that such conditions pre- vailed in politics, but worse than ell else Is the fact that this evil should be carried into the drug business and the sick be made to suffer in consequence thereof. For vari- ous reasons dealers allow themselves to be persuaded 10 stock up medicines of all sorts to be sold to the sick on the repre- sentation that they are just the same as simmons Liver Regulator-a greater out rage has not been perpetrated upon the people. This has been the experience of many who have been duped by these false statements. Take only The Old Friend, Simmons Liver Regulator, with the Red z on every package, and you'll get the medi- cine that did the old folks so much good in bygone days. It has been kept up as their inheritar to the pres at generation.

The time has come when those VINO
prefer a government controlled by
white men to stop looking at the
past by nursing revengeful feelings
for those who may be indirectly or
directly the cause Of the present
awkward political condition. 1t will
not do to say that a certain element
is determined to rule, even if they
have to crawl to the negroes for aid.
Nor will it do to wave q red flag to
invite fight. What must be done
to preserve the supremacy Of the
white man in this State is for the
white men to be determined to carry
our coming constitutional conven-
tion. They must make up their
minds that it is q fight for life and
liberty, and go into the contest with
that spirit. The election of dele
gates to the convention is not an
election for Office it is an election
for an honor without emolument,
therefore we see no sense in the white
men SLOWING themselves to be torn
asunder, and especially so when it is
agreed that all are working for the
all-important issue of WHITE MANS
SUPREMACY. Unfortunately for
South Carolina, she has sons who
could not withstand the tempting
influence of Republican gold, and
they have sold their Mother State to
the enemy, but the goods are not yet
delivered, and it remains for US to
say, Will we let these traitors con-
summate their unholy deal or will
we stand up like men and defy the
enemy? The people were tired Of
political strife and contention be-
cause that strife and contention was
with their friends and nelghbors,
with whom they daily came in con-
tact-in church, in business and So
ciety-but since it has come to pass
that a few men have attempted to
crafty their spleen and fill their
pockets by foisting upon US a condi-
ton which threatens our civilization.
We say, let the strife and contention
go on and increase, but with the
scenes shifted. Let US, as white
men, put aside factional feeling, and
all of US work to crush out this
hellish invasion. If the hirelings,
who the enemy bought, are to lead
in this movement to crush white su-
premaey, such men are no better
than those who were leading the
enemy prior to 1876, and should re-
~csive similar treatment, There is no
question of faction now, for the res
son that no factionai issue exists.
The issue to-day is whether or not
the white men Of South Carolina are
ready and willing to 5e sold to the
enemy by Goff, Douglass, Pope, Oar
gan s. Co.
This is no time for Conservatives
to demand representation, and it is
no time for Reformers to refuse repre-
sentation. The white people must
select their representatives and, once
they are selected, all Of US must
: stand by them whether they all
please US or not. If the executive
committee order q primary every
white man should participate, and
at the ballot boxes both factions
should be represented; and, when
that primary is over, let no man stop
until he sees to it that every effort
has been made for the election of the
ticket selected.
