GREENVlLLE TIMES
WEDNESDAY, APRIL . 1897
PHILOsOI NY.

Probably the most surprising Tea
ture of the situation in Greenville TO-
day is the bouyancy aud hopeiulnes'
of its people, and the cheerful resig'
nation with which they regard con-
dition which the outside world re-
presents as full of gloom and despon'
dency. Instead of "twiddlng their
thumbs and bowling" the people Of
Greenville are going calmly ahead al
nothing WAS the matter viewing
the situation with philosophy get
ting all the fun out of ii which 1t VIII
afford, and waiting with patient con-
fidence for the subsistence of the wa
tar and the resumption of the inter-
rupted course of business Where 1t
is practicable it is not even interrupt
ed. The foundation Of one new
building has actually been laid since
the leVees broke, while active work is
progressing on many others. AS sn
evidence OF "sang froid' and freedom
from pauic or dependency this is
sufficiently conclusive, There are a
few people in this community who
are Inclined TO lake a gloomy view o:
the future, aud Of course 10 one Il
elated over the situation except the
skifr builders but the spirit of hope,
of making the best oft, and Of look
ing forward to cheerful prospects in
the future is general. This feeling is
not confined to the people &C the town
but is observed even among the plant
ers who are now deeply under water.
To them, of course, everything de-
ponds upon the duration Of the flood.
Much damage has already been done,
iu the destruction of corn which was
up and ready to be worked, in loss OF
stock and injury TO buildings, and 1t
will take long time to put the over
flowed plantations again in the -four
ishing condition of three weeks age.
But tho condition will come back 1t
is only a repetition of msny former
experience of the Delta country, aud
it must be remembered that ruin has
been predicted by some after every
such visitation. Ruin cannot over
take the Delta. Temporary disaster
aud a check to progress may befsll,
aud has often done so-probably will
happen again, but such a thing as per-
msnent injury to its agricultural and
business interests is impossible, SO
long as it is the home OF the people
whs now compose its population, and |
the fertility and value of its land Is |
enhanced by every overflow. The
people must simply learn as was the |
case before the war, to be prepared
for such visitstions--to build their
houses, as they then did, above the |
reach of water 10 secure their stock |
by mounds or other provision, and, if |
possible, TO keep out of debt, so that |
when an ovrfow comes, it can be re-
garded simply as a condition of tenn
porsry seigs, and even the partial loss
of years crop need not be regarded |
as ali overwhelming calamity.

PHOTOGRAPHY IN COLOR,
Now Reported to Be an Accomplished
Fact


1t is again announced that pho
Biography in natural eolors is an ac-
eomplished fact. The news reaches
the public through Sir Henry Wood,
secretary of the London Society of
Arts, who tested the discovery with
the other experts at Kings college.
The inventor is Villendien Chas-
sagne, of Paris. The process is sim
pie. Anineypcnsive negative is taken
on a gelatine plate, which has been
heated with a solution of certain
salts The nature of the solutions
used is, for the present, kept secret.
The negative is developed and fixed
in the ordinary way, and when fin
ished looks like any other negative.
From it positive is printed on sem
sitized paper or gelatine film, plate,
or paper previously treated with the
secret solution. The positive looks
exactly like an ordinary Photographic
print and shows no trace of color. 1t
is then washed over with three colored
solutions, blue, green and red, and it
takes up in succession the appropriate
color in the appropriate parts and
combinations Of colors, giving all the
varieties of tint. The general APP
pearanco Of the picture is that of
colored photograph. Inspected I'M
der high magnifying power, it is
seen that the colors follow details in
a manner hardly possible for hand
work.-San Francisco Arponant.

The Amazon is in every respect
but length the greatest river in the
world. At many points in its lower
course so vast is its width that one
shore is invisible from the other, the
observer seeming to look out into a
rolling sea of turbid water It has
over 400 tributaries, great and small,
which rise in so many different
climates that when one set is at flood
height the Others are at ebb. and
vice versa, so that the bulk Of the
great river remains unchanged the
whole year round.

News Service Extended.

The st. Louis Republic recently
made arrangements with the cable
companies, whereby direct news from
all sections Of the civilized world are
received. 1t now prints more autheu-
tic foreign news than any other paper
and continues to keep up its record
for publishing all the home news.
The outlook for the year is one Of big
news events, fast succeeding each
other aud they will be highly inter.
csiing to everyone. The price OF the
Republic daily is Sc year, or $l.50
for three months. The Twice-a- Week
Republic will remain the same-one
dollar a year, by mail, twice-n-week.

There must have been a regular Sam
Jones conversion of newspaper corres-
pondsuts In Cuba, with Weyler as
chief mourner, or there is really moth
ing happening in the island Oh which

reliable sources that the Spaniards
have sent no soldiers or money to Cuba
in many weeks from the reason that
they have none to send. There is even
now rumor of s sudden change of
government in Spain aud II Is thought
that If Cuba will refuse all offers of
autonomy it is only question oftime
until she will secure her Independence.
The Spanish soldiers are now quarter
ed IN the unhealthy barracks of the
cities dreading the period of disease

Telephone Company closed out.

The Citizens Telephone Company of
Florence, Ala, has made an assignment
to NJ. B. Shelton, president Merchants
Bank, for the benefit of their creditors,
says the Florence Standard-Journal The
assets have been taken charge of and the
exchange closed.
Mr.. Shelton, in an interview, stated that
when the company was started about
eight months ago, il was thought that the
rates would pay expenses, but that the
company had gradually gone into debt
and the creditors were pushing their
claims, some of them suing and others
threatening suit. The rates they were
charging would not pay the expense, and
the Instruments would not give satisfac-
ton. The proceeds of the sale will be
prorated among the creditors and will pay
about 60 per cent. Nothing will be left
for the stockholders. This failure leaves
the Bell Telephone Company in possession
of the field. The Bell company's service
has been satisfactory and they say they
will continue to give an excellent service
and hope to deserve the full patronage of
the citizens of Florence.
