The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1897-11-17


1T is scarcely necessary to call at
tention to the superior merits Of THE
TwTcE-A-WEEE edition Of THE. ST.
LOUIS REPUBLIC as newspaper. 1t
has so many advantages as news
gatherer, that no other paper can claim
to be its equal. The whole field of
news is covered thoroughly. The
special features and illustrations arc
always the best. More noted writer's
contribute to its columns than to any
other paper Of its class. It is pub
lished especially to meet the wants of
that large class Of readers who have
not the opportunity or cannot afford
to read daily paper. It is the lead
ing Democratic paper Of the Missis-
sippi Valley and the South and West.
BY special arrangement made for a
limited time only, our friends will be
given an opportunity to take advan-
tage of this liberal proposition.
Remember the offer, The TwIcE-
-A-WEEK REPUBLIC, is pages week,
and the ANDERSON INTELLIGENcER,
8 pages week, both one year for
only $500.

Passing Of the Chestnut.

The fact that the chestnut trees of
this section have been rapidly dying
out for some years past has ben sub
jcct Of frequent remark
Some 80 or more years back, chest
nut trees were common in all parts Of
York county. Now they are getting
scarce. Where middle-aged men of
to-day used to go as boys to groves
which yielded chcstnuts by the bush
els, now the trees generally are either
lying on the ground i'll decay or stand
ing, leahess, barkless, and dead, with
fruit only memory.
There are still few live, chestnut
bearing trees scattered throughout the
country, but they are exceptions; and
when one is found lit is generally with
many dead branches mixed with the
live ones.
The reporter had talk with North
Carolinian-Mr. j. 2. Coffey, of Cald-
woll couuty-on the subject, few
days ago. Mr.. Coffcy lives about
eight miles north Of Lenoir and some
10 or 13 miles from the foot of the
Blue Ridge. He deals in chestnuts
every fall, both wholesale and retail,
and mas noticed the scarcity referred
to. When asked about the matter, he
said:
"Oh yes, we have been noticing
The passing away Of the chestnut trees
for long time. have been coming
down this way for some 20 years, and
it was some 10 years back when l first
noticed that the chestnut trees were
dying. 1t was noticeable down this
way first but now it has gradually
extended north, until it has reached
us at the foot of the Blue Ridge. Ten
miles ncrth Of u.s. in the mountains,
the trees all appear to be still healthy
and chestnuts are abundant but right
around us they are dying as rapidly as
they did here aud between"
sit has been suggested" the rcpor-
ter remarked, "that the death Of the
trees is possibly due to some climatic
change, or something Of that kind
"Oh, no." continued Mr.. Coffey,
sit is not that. The old people up
our way say it is because Of the attack
of peculiar worm. And this, they
think, is proven by the fact that it is
almost impossible to find sound
chestnut. tree among the grcenest in
the woods-that is in onr ncighbor-
hood. At the saw mills, worms are
found in the very heart of apparently
sound logs. In some cases the worms
are few, and in other eases the logs
are literally riddled. On the other
side of US, in the mountains, it is still
All easy matter to ind trees which are
perfectly sound.
Mr.. Coffey went on to say that the
disappearance of the chestnut is re-
ceiving attention in different parts Of
North Carolina and in this State. It
is believed that if the trees are set out
anew, they will grow all right, and
during the present season he has re-
ceiyed quite number of orders for
carefully selected chestnuts, which,
he understands, are to be used for

into the right way, just say to him,
'Professor-dCctoT-judge, why was it
that Paul declared he was a debtor to
the Greeks?" And ask your learned
friend to take his Greek Testament and
translate for you, in his own way, from
Greek into English, the splendid perora-
ton Of Paul's sermon on Mars hill, I'M
der the power Of which the scholarly
Dionysius surenderod-namely, 1.-THE
times Of this ignorance God winked at,
but now commandoth all men every
where TO repent, because he hath APP
pointed day in vs. ich he Will judge
the world in righteousness, by that man
whom he hath ordained, whereof he
hath given assurance unto all men, in
that he hath raised him from the dead. |"
BY the time he has got through the
translation from the Greek l think you
will see his lip tremble, and there will
come a pallor on his face like the pallor
on the sky at dayoreak. By the eternal
salvation Of that scholar, that great
thinker, that splendid man, you will
have done something to help pay your
Indebtedness TO the Greeks. And now to

What Browning Missed.

A curious example Of the literary
criticisms of half a century ago is re-
counted in an article on Robert Brown
ing in The Temple Magazine. Brown
ing's BELLS and Pomegranates" had
just been published, and John Stuart
Mill expressed his admiration of the
poems and Of the originality Of the les
sons they contained, and he wrote to the
editor Of Tait's Magazine, then one Of
the leading literary journals, asking if
he might review them in the forthcom-
ing number. The editor wrote back to
say that he should always esteem it an
honor and an advantage to receive a re-
view from the pen Of Mr.. J. 5. Mill.
but unfortunately he could not insert a
review of BELLS and Pomegranates, " as
it had been reviewed in the last number.
Mr.. Browning had the curiosity to
look at the last number Of the magazine
and there read the so called review. 1t
was as follows: "'Bells and Pome-
granates, by Robert Browning: Balder.
dash. 1T depended, you see, said
Mr.. Browning, "on what looked like
the merest accident, whether the work
Of a new or as yet almost unknown
writer should receive eulogistic re-
view from the pen Of the first literary
and philosophic critic of his day-a re-
view which would have rendered him
most powerful help exactly at the time
when it was most ncodod-or whether
be should receive only one insolent cpl
tibet from some nameless nobody"

The only che Of the European coun-
tries having colonial possessions which
is failing in respect Of number, wealth
and population is Spain, once the chief
colonial power Of the European conti-
nent. While other governments have
been extending their influence and pos
sessions, spain has been falling in the
rear, and the reason for this is seen
clearly in Cuba and the Philippines.
Wastoful, oppressive, mercenary and ill.,
efficient government is the direct cause.
In a census Of the colonial possessions
Of governments made 20 years ago it ap-
pemcd that the total colonial possessions
Of Great Britain covered 1000, 900
square miles, or more than 60 times the
extent. Of the United Kingdom, and had
a population Of about 200, 600, 600.
France had foreign colonies exclusive Of
Algeria, covering AGO, 600 English square
miles, with population Of 2, 900, GOO.

navigatoIs covered an area Of 10000

ishCd as a united government, had 10

total population being about 30, Geo.
Norway and Swoc On had one small is

lation Of 100000 Since that time
most European governments have ex-
tended their territory.
The British empire now covers H.
600, OCO square miles. of which only
12O, geo are in the United Kingdom.
The population Of the English colonies
is $40, 600. The colonies Of France
cover 1890, 600 square miles and have
population Of 2l,OOO, 900. The area Of
the colonies Of the Netherlands is &C.,

The Russians have spread their colo
mics until these have in Asia a popula-
ton in excess Of 80, 600, coo, and, though
the population Of Portugal is less than
5000, 600, the colonies Of Portugal have
collectively population in excess Of

being 30 times greater than that Of the

Cancer
Can be Cured.

II is very often that the most insig'
nificant symptoms are forerunners OF
the most violent disease. There is
not a more destr uctive disease than
Cancer, and in a majority of cases il
is first indicated by very small pim-
pie or sore, to which no attention is
attracted, until it before long develops
into the most alarming conditions.
Here is another case where the first
symptoms of a most violent Cancer
were too small to receive much notice
until the disease had fully developed.
Mrs. Laura f. Minis has resided at
Smithville, Georgia, for years, andis
we'll known throughout the adjoining
country. In a recent letter she tells
of wonderful case.

Japan. Experience with Silver.

The attempt of Japan to maintain
mint ratio that was different from the
market ratio was failure and resulted
in denuding the circulation of gold. BIZ
metallism had failed in Japan as else
where.
The decline in the value of money had
in Japan the effect it always has bad Of
robbing the laborer and enriching the
capitalist. The miserable pittanee paid
TO the wretched operatives must at 10
distant period lead TO a social revolution
unless the rate of wages be considerably
improved.
In 1879 a family consisting Of five
members Of the lower middle class could
subsist on 20 yen year. In 1898 the cost
of living had risen TO $50 yen a year
During period of 22 years the silver
yen declined very nearly one-half in its
gold value, about two-ffths in its power
to buy merchandise and about one fourth
in its power TO buy labor
The gold value of the exports from
the United States and England TO Japan
was over $1S, 900, 600 in 1892 and nearly
$31, 900, GOO in 1896, while the imports
