Donaldson Talks.

M. L. Donaldson, of this city, member
for South Carolina of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, has returned from
Washington, where he attended the
meeting of that committee. He told q
representative of the Greenville Ne,os
yesterday, in answer to inquiries, that he
had been unable to gather from bis fell
low committeeman any Information Of
value regarding the political situation in
their respective States. All were re-.
inarkably reticent.
Regarding choice for the Presidency,
Mr.. Donaldson says there seems to be
no man in sight on whom the sentiment
of the party or of any faction or section
of it Is centered. All he could gather was
that the Republicans are as badly at sea
for candidate as the Democrats. That
was the general belief Of the members Of
the committee.
Committeeman Donaldson does not
think the vote Of tho committee for the
city was test OF sentiment
on the currency question. The silver
men were agreed on only one point, and
that was to oppose New York. Many Of
them voted for st. Louis. but they did not
regard themselves as bound to that city.
By tho way, cne Of the leading delegates
IEOu AOulo 100 q Auls W III
went from Greenville County. His
mother was Young from the Paris
Mountain section of the County. He is
said to be the most prominent candidate
for the Democratic nomination for Cover
nor of Missouri.
Mr.. Donaldson met President Cleve-
land and had a brief talk with him. He
says the President looks clean, clear cut
and healthy. Any talk Of his being Q
habitual drinker or having recently used
-p,rits to excess Is evidently, Mr.. Donald
son says, slander. He observed the
President closely and was impressed with
the clearness of his skin and eyes. Mr..
Cleveland seemed to be In good spirits
and temper, and had every appearance of
q man who is in the highest health and q
,.ontented frame of mind and able to
think clearly and act decisively.-Green-
vi[Ie NeDS.

'Ihe first Christian Endeavor Society,

twelve years ago, in the Williston
Church, Portland, Maine, bv its Jealous
young pastor, Rev. F. E. Clark. He is
now known the world over as Father
Endeavor Clark The growth Of the
movement has been Unequalled. The
Christian Endeavor Societies Of the world

1t Was Unanimous.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Jan. 22.-The aglta-
ton by the Constitution in favor of max
ing General Lees birthday holiday in
the South has quickly borne fruit here
and to-day the House, with remarkable
feeling and enthusiasm and by spon'
taneous rising vote, adopted an amend
ment which made that day State legal
holiday.
When Mr.. Gadsden's bill to make the
birthday of Stonewall Jarkson legal
holiday was taken up Mr.. Floyd rose and
.ffered an amendment to make General
Robert E. Lees birthday legal holiday
.lso, thereby touching patriotic chord,
which met responsive echo on all sides.
In offering the amendment Mr.. Floyd
made some very patriotic remarks. He
said he would like to see the amendment
unanimously adopted by rising vote.
This country had few enough legal holi-
days, fewer than perhaps any other cnun
try. To make this legal holiday would
tend to perpetuate the memory OF the
glorious cause that was lost and keep
greeu the memory Of that great christian
aud hero-General Lee. He eulogized
General Lee in eloquent language. Mr.
Weston wished to add the VOICE of the
younger men that the memory OF this
great man and soldier be perpetuated In
some tangible way.
Captain J. 81. Wilson rose to add his
voice as that of one who had fought un-
der General Lee. He said that Lee, the
American, must ever be ranked with the
greatest warriors the world had ever pro-
duced-with Alexander the Great. with
julius Cm..r and Napoleon. A. the con-
clusion OF Captain Wilson's remarks Mr..
Bacot came forward and urged that un-
der the magic spell Of the name Of Lee
they adopt the amendment by rising
vote. The speaker put the question to
the House and every member rose and
stood till the gavel sounded,

The Tide Of Immigration.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Jan. 22.-Raports
received by the Southern and Northwest.
arm Industrial Association at the general
ffices in this city from various outside
pUints east of the Mississippi show re-
narkable tide of immigration from the
Northwest to the South since the holidays.
T. Is pointed out that the tide Of immi-
grafton from the Northwest has been an
important factor 10 turning alarge portion
II Southern trade from the East to the
Northwest Southern retail merchants
n the agricultural districts report fairly
active demand from new customers for
new brands of merchandise, such az agri-
cultural implements, vehicles, household
goods and groceries not handled in the
South. Inquiry on this line reveals the
fact that these new customers are " estern
farmers who have recently come South
md naturally ask for the brand of goods
With which they have been familiar 10
he West. This fact has caused number
II small purchases to be made In Chicago
hp Southern merchants who have never
c,ef re used the Western market except
TOR grain end food products A number
# minor industries are being located In
he South by Western people. Repre-
.entatives of the various professions 1r0tr
he Northwest are looking for new loca
lions in the Soutb, and current events
.eem to favor closer political and in
austrial alliance between the South and
Lha Northwest.
It is estimated that very large per.
.ent. of Southern trade will go to the
Northwest during the next season, par.
icularly In the line Of agricultural i'm
piements. All of the Southern railroads
are giving special attention to immigra.
lon and offer liberal inducements In the
way of reduced rates. No less than five
hundred land agents have gone from the
southern States to the Northwest since
the 1st of January for the purpose of pre-
senting the advantages Of different local
ties and inducing home seekers from the
Northwest to locate In the South. Nearl.
every real estate agent is now advertising
farm lands al special feature OF his bus
mess. Colonization companies have been
founded at nearly every county seat.
Out of sixty-six counties in Alabama
forty report the presence of agents from
the North west, who have been sent out
to examine land aud general conditions
IN the South. A large per cent. Of the
uew settlers in the Northwest are Grand
Army men, and this fact will show
hNavy increase In the pension pay ments
for the next year in the Snuthern States.
At present the aggregate OF the pension
pay yments in the Southern States Is hard
~ 6 per cent of the total OF the country.
Should immigration to the South from
the Northwest continue the increase in
pension disbursements for the Southern
States for the next fiscal year will prob
4bly show a gain Of fully 5 per cent,
making the total about $15, 600, 900.

- The effect of European clothing upon
Japanese women is quite remarka BILE, for
whenever 1t is adopted modern manners
aud customs go with 1t. The educated
Japanese say that when native woman
adopts modern dress she insists upon the
same treatment and courtesles that her
sisters in Europe receive. It Is curious
fact that when woman Is dressed In the
Japanese costume her husband always
precedes her when entering room or
walking IN the streets, and treats her as
q Japanese husband generally treats his
wif--that is, like servant. But when
the same woman puts on modern dress
conditions are reversed Her husband
pays her the same difference that Euro
pean husbands show their wives, and re-
coguizes her as his equal. Therefore dress
reform has had powerful influence In
the advancement Of the Japanese women,
and those who have embraced Christian
ity and are laboring for the emancipation
of their sex are all working quietly, zeal
ously and effectively to promote the re-
form that is going on in the home and the
wardrobe.

A Story With a Moral.

Here's Georgia story with moral to
it: A party, consisting of hunters, dogs,
axes and torches galore, had been hunt
ing for good part OF the night without
any luck whatever. Finally, however,
be dogs treed coon up very large
tree. While discussing the subject OF
cutting down such large 'ree one of the
many negroes volunteered to climb the
tree and investg gate the whereabouts of
his coonship.
All agreed to this and sat around to
await developments. Soon after the negro
bad disappeared among the branches the
attention Of all was drawn to q very Pc
culiar sound emanating from the top of
the tree. It was a kind of q mixture of
negro and coon dialect. Some one ven
tured the remark:
Bill, have you got that coon?"
"Yss, cal, Twas the reply. "Pse got
dis her econ /; but wish you 'u'd send
some O dem darkies up her to help mo
turn him loosep'
