when the contest closes. II the con-
testants can not agree upon three
persons, then each contestant will
name man and the committee will
consist of five persons.
More than three weeks yet remain
aud the contest from now on will
hinge on the number of premium
coupons secured. Eighteen Pre-
MUM Coupons will be issued now
as before for every new cash-in-ad-
vance subscriber; IL for au old sub
scriber who pays year in advance.
Twelve premium coupons will be
issued for every dollars worth of
advertising or Job work brought or
sent TO this office. This leaves the
condition of the contest the same

be issued in the Posr, thereby al.
lowing plenty of time to get i'll all
the coupons that are good and Civ
ing every contestant plenty of op.
portunity to secure premium cou-
pons.
The results of this contest have
been more gratifying than we had
any reason to expect. While there
was little friction between few
candidates, there has been no hos

that this condition will continue to
the end of the race. Only a few
more weeks and the agony will be

the result of the contest. They may
bring you the first prize instead oi
the second, or the second instead oi
none. The result of your efforts foi
the next three weeks will tell the
tale. You have worked faithfully
since the contest opened. Ever,
moment still remaining is precious
and no time or effort should b,
wasted. Perseverance and faithful

petitioned the Court to appoint view
ers to abandon the driving road at
Red Hill with view to opening
new road over the hill and avoid the
d ouble crossing.
The Court acted on the petition
aud appointed Charles Wetzel, VIM
III eeter and A. A. Romig as viewers.
1t is to these gentlemen that we
n Nv direct our attention. There is
the double crossing-an open and
C instant menace to property aud
t) human life. The citizens of
Franklin Township have done their
duty the responsibility now rests
with the viewers. There is no reas-
on why.lthe public road shall con
tinue to cross the railroad at two
places within 100 yards. Condemn
the road, have it abandoned and
avert an accident that may occur at
a1y moment. A new road can be
III mlde across the field on the South
side of the railroad without incur
ing the danger of destruction of
property and human life. The duty
of the viewers is plain one and we
believe that these gentlemen will
not he derelict in the discharge of
their obligations for the preser yation
OF life and property.
But how about the situation in
Middlecreek gTownship at Kreamer
station No visible signs of any
move has come to our notice. We
admitted in our former editorial
that the situation at Kreamer pre-
sented an enigma that almost baffied
q safe solution. This does not
mean that nothing can be done.
Something should be done. When
the citizens of this township are
awakened from their peaceful morn
ing slumbers to find the bleeding.
mangled corpses of stalwart men
lying PROSTATE along the railroad
track, do they need any further evi.
dence that something should be
done? Do they need any further
evidence9 II so, look at the cripples
living remnants of that fatal col
lision, victims that will carry to the
grave scars received at Kreamer
that fatal spot; bodies that will be
laid to rest without the limbs that
were lost because the railroad cross
ing at Kreamer is dangerous place
Do the citizens of Middlecreek
township need any further evidence
that the crossing at Kreamer is +,
dangerous one? If so, let them de
lay and they will find the record o.
their folly written in emblazonet
characters with the blood of human
victims. If they can't do any bet
ter, let them place gates and {
watchman there or compel the Rail
road Company to doit. Better still
remove the crossing farther Eas
and buy the land on both sides o
the road and allow no one to buil'
near the track. This is perhaps tn
best avenue of escape from danger
, Will the citizens of Middlecreel
Q Township accept the warning note
I Will they remove the constant peri
that is confronting them like tn
, very jaws of death? Let us see.

Cuba's Friend in Congress.

WASHINGTON, April IA bill
recognizing the belligerency of the
Cuban revolutionists has been prepared
in this city and will be introduced in
Congress wher that body conyeues 10
December next. 1t was drafted at the
suggestion Of certain Representatives
and Senators nbo are in sympathy with
the efforts Of the Cubans to throw of
the yoke of Spain, and these gentlemen
will use their influence to pass it
through both houses Such action 90
the part OF the United States would Of
course be Of great service to the revo.
lutionists. 1t would result 10 the free
shipment of arms and men to the island
in support of the insurgents cause, and
would give them the moral and material
support which they so greatly desire.
Spanish officials say that bu; for toe
hope that the United States may recog-
uize Cuban belIigerency, the Tevolu-
ton would collapse within thirty days.
Dir. Marti. 10 pursuance of toe pro-
gramme already outlined, will be elect
ed President Of the Cuban provisional
government. which it is proposed to es-
tablish at an early day.

Deadly Feud IN Aiken.
Many Men Wounded in a Fight at
a Church-History of the
Trouble.

ArGurTA, Ga, April 2l.-There
was a fight at a church rear Jackson
Station, S. G. this afternoon in which
two young men, Andy Foreman and
Tony Purse. were badly wounded
and many more hurt. There were
perhaps forty shots fired by persons
who entered into the scrap after it
had been precipitated by II Green.
The story Of the fued goes back to
a time shortly after the famous Rouse
Bridge riot. in which a negro, Jesse
Jade, was implicated Green sent a
posse to whip or kill him. 4 young
mar named Stallings informed Jade
of the intention of the White Caps.
For this Stallings left the country and
after being away about a year return
ed. Some days later. Stallings was
found dead in the road. The Greens
were charged with knowing some
thing about the killing, as L. NJ.
Green who is a justice, refused to at
tend the ~corouer's inquest.
Recently there have been long com.
m%unicatiops in the Aiken, 5. c.. pa
pers in regard to the killing Of Stall
l;rgs. The last was from W Scott
Taylor, and in it he charged ali sorts
Of crimes to Green's son, from arson
to murder. After Sunday school this
afternoon, Purse made some remark
about Green. His son heard OF it
and asked that it be repeated Furse

by the Influential Cubaps and properly
led. SOME show of success might have
been looked for The leaders are not
capable Of intelligent or systematic
handling of men. Macy Of them have
have been outlaws and bandits for years.
Others are negroes or half breeds
Some bands are entirely made up of
coIored men and the difficulty 10 some
respects resembles a race war. Such
are the people for whom more or less
sympathy 10 the United States has
been aroused. False reports of battles
fought aud victories won have been
manufactured in the cigar factories Of
Tampa and Key West, As a matter Of
fact. 10 city and no town has been
taken and no battle of any Importance
fought. When the sigoal for the
general rising was given nearly two
months ago, the garrison at Santiago
de Cuba numbered 100 men 1t
would not have been difficult to capture
them. Now there are 5000 Spanish
troops here.
The instruction is deplored by the
better class of Cubaus as we'll as all
residents interested in mercantile or
producing operations. The home rule
party and the reform party as we'll as
the conservative party have denounced
the uprising as injurious to the best
interests of Ccba. Reforms which
have recently passed the Spanish Cortez
have not been put into effect. Com
merce is beginning to suffer. Heavy
expenses for military operations have
been incurred, aud these will be tackled
on to the already burdensome taxes
with which the island is saddled.
The general opinion Of intelligent resi-
dents is that the present uprising like
it's several predecessors. will fail, a few
more enthusiasts will be shot. and the
emancipation Of the fair island, which
is bound to come some day, will be
delayed rather than aided.

equipped The dispatches say that if
the uprising spreads further Gen. Mar

Big Corn Crop in the
South in 1895 is Essential.

The Manytocturers' Record wishes
to invite attention to the following
facts:
The total production of Corn in the
United States in 1894 was PIP, o0O,.
900 bushels, a decrease of over 4oo,-
600, 900 bushels as compared with
1893, and a decrease of $50, 900 900
bushels as compared with 1891.
Fortunately the South had a large
crop this year, or otherwise it would
have had to purchase its corn at a
very high figure, because OF this
great shortage As the average crop
of the United States for some years
has been about $50, 000,O 600 bushels,
the production Of the last two years
is over 500, 900, 900 bushels short Of
the average. The country will there
fore enter upon the next crop year
with a very small stock of corn ON
hand-so small, indeed, that even
should we have another 2 000,000,0O
bushel crop, as in 1891, it would re-
quire all OF this enormous yield to
make up for the deficiency Of the last
two years. Even should such a crop
as this be produced, prices would
probably still be high, because of the
decrease in 1894. Another small
crop following the n of last year
would necessarily mean e%xhorbitant
prices for corn
Because of these facts it becomes
more imperative than ever before
that the South should increase its
corn acreage this year. The South's
large crop last year was due more to
a heavy yield per acre than to a large
increase in acreage. If this section
is to maintain its independence Of the
West SO far as corn in concerned,
every effort should be made to urge
upon farmers the Importance of plant
ing a larger acreage this year than
ever before. With a big corn crop
the South is better prepared TO stand
low priced cotton than it could in
any other way.
1t behooves every trade organiza-
ton in the South, and every business
man Individually, as we'll as the press,
to persistently exert all possible in
huence to encourage an increase of
acreage in corn aud other food
supplies.
If the vigorous work of the press
is supplemented in this direction by
the active personal cooperation of
bankers, business men aud all others
who deal with farmers, it will be pos
sible to secure an increase of 25 or
more per cent. in the acreage devot-
ed to corn and foodstufs compared
with last year.
The vital interest which the entire
South has in the increase of its grain
production, which also means an
increase in the supply of provisions,
prompts the Manufacturers Record
to press this matter upon the atten-
ton of every man in the South.
