Political Disabilities Resulting from
tho War Wiped Out.
From the Philadclnhia Times. J

'.. (From tho Philadelphia Timcs)
WAsUINGToN, June 1.-The House to.
day passed the Senate bill to remove the
political disabilities imposed by tho third
section of the fourteenth amendment to
tho Constitution. Congressman Lacey, of
Iowa, in advocating the bill cloqucnuy
roforrCd to the magnificent spectacle
presented to the country by the EXCon-
fGdCratC general Wheeler, who il on
leave Of absence from the House, in the
army of Il reunited country, Il man whose
political disabilities were removed by
special Act of Congress. lie said that
political disabilities Of all cx- Confcdcra-
tcs should now be removed.
Congressman Bailey, of Texas, the
Democratic leader, declared that Gen.
Whcelcr has no leave Of absence, and
ought not to DO granted leave Of absence
to serve in tho army. He asserted that
holding a commission in the army and Il
scat i'm tho House ut the Same time can
not be regarded as constitutional
Congressman McMillin, of Tennessee,
interrupted him with tho statements:
"Gen. Whorl,r I is loved by every mem
hcr Of this House for going to tho front
to serve his country. | would not object
to granting leave of absence to any man
in this House who might want to 90 and
place his body before the fire of tho
onomy."
Gen. Grosv"nor, Of Ohio, then delivered
n magnificent non-partisan, patriotic
speech, which electrified tho House. I'm
part, he said: T know that Gen.
Wheeler went forth in the spirit of nn-
sullicd and malloycd patriotism. Con.
Wheeler came into tho ways and means
and said he only %&mtai! t0 got a fuw
papers. IIo said ho had never frankcd u
single documonG since his appointment
and you know there could not be any
highor evidence Of Whcolcrs sacrifice"
Gen. Grosvonor spoke feolingly Of tho
spectacle of tho united country crying:
"My country, my flag, North and South"
IIc said all tho nations of tho world arc
looking Mt our grand reunion. ~ shall
voto to wipe off this law from our stat
utes, and ] am grateful to Almighty God
that have soon this day. So help mo
God will try to forgot that thcro wero

Facts tbOUt Cuba.

Cuba is about us large as the State OF
Pennsylvania, containing as it does about
$4,000 square miles.
The climate is hot on tho coast and, of
course, more temperate above in tho
higher lands. The temperature ranges
from - to 50 degrees. Ice sometimes
forms at night after Il long continuance
of northern winds, but snow is totally
unknown.
A large part of the country is occupied
by impcnCtrablc forests, not moro than 10
per cent. of the island being under cult
yatiOll.
According to recent statistics, the p0pu-
lation is 1861 ,GS7; about G5 per cent. is
negroes, alth0u IN some figures give very
much lower totals.
If all the lands suitable to the cultiva-
ton of sugar cane were utilized tho
island could produce enough sugar for
year with the small area under cultiva-
tion over 900, 600 tons Of sugar have been
exported.
The United States imports from Cuba
sugar, leaf tobacco, cigars, cigarettes and
chcroots, mOlasScS, fruits, nuts, iron ore,
tropical woods and manufactures of
hides and skins, chemicals, drugs and
dyes.
Tho cacao trees, from which chocolate
is derived, pineapple and cocoanut trees
thrive, and coffee, oranges, lemons, man
goes, Euava, tamarinds and many other
fruits of 4 local nature arc raised.
Nervousness, Slecplcssncss, Nervous
ProStration, Nervous Debility and kin
drcd disturbances are generally due to
impoverished blood. The nervous sys-
tenn suffers for want OF pure, rich blood
to nourish and sustain it. Purify, vita
iizo ana enrich the Diood, by taking DR..
Picrco's Golden Medical Discovery, and
all these nervous troubles vanish.

Good Work for Clemson,

TO BENEFIT THE STATE.
Last fall agents from two nurseries de-
livcrcd fruit trees hero at prices that
sccmcd ridiculously high. Some thoy
did rot deliver at all because tho parties
were not able to pay for tho trees ordered.
Peaches, choice seedlings, woro sold rs
high as 81 por treo, and tho common
stock sold for DO to 80 cents each. Fruit
trees can be raised at big profit to soil
them at cents apiece. Clemson College
is equipped for that purpose. Such men
as Prof. Newman and his aids know
what kind flourish better in tho State,
and which arc adapted to tho low, and
which to tho up.cOuntry. If Clemson
would take hold of this it would bring
in big revenue to tho College, and savo
tho people of tho State thousands that
they NOW pay out to exorbitant price
nurseries. Would like to hear from Prof.
Newman on this subject. t.--Sauda Sonti

To Rebuild at Once.

Tho indomitable pluck of tho business
men of Walhalla, who lost so heavily in
the fire last Friday, is demonstrated by
their decision 10 iobuiid at once. The

5hpished in modern style. X Id.
The largo two-story brick building Of
20. w. Pitchford CO. was already in course
of construction. Tho work is now being

halla has not been almost destroyed.
Only somc 800, 900 worth of property has
been destroyed out Of % total valuation
of $500,000. Two blocks on tho south

and this is tho extent of tho burned dis
trict Nine blocks on tho south side Of
Main street arc untouched, while no
harm has been done on the North side
of this street or in any other portion of

The Cotton Acreage.

Latham, Alexander & Co., in their
latest cotton circular, give some interest
ing figures as to the cotton acreage,
which show that tho acreage i'm 1893 is
20, ,73G, 600, as compared with 21,O7l 900
in 1897. Every State shows n decrease,
tho per cent in this State boing 5, Ala
bama 4, Arkansas 7, Florida ., Georgia 6,
Louisiana mississippi 3, North Caro-
lima 7, Tennessee 8, Texas 6.
Some o. this reduction in acreage is no
doubt duo to the agitation on the sub
jcct last winter, but Latham, Alexander
IL Co. explain it thus:
"Om correspondents report that tho
reduction in acreage has been brought
about by tho lower prices of cotton,
reluctance of commission merchants to
make as liberal advances to tho planters
as last year, in tho face of war, and tho
increase in acreage in tobacco, wheat and
corn, on account Of tho high prices of
these commodities"
The fact that thoro has boon an
increased acreage in corn, wheat and
CobaccO indicates that our farmers arc
paying more attention to raising homo
supplies, and this is gratifying informa-
ton.
Tho cotton firm from which the figures
arc obtained is unusually careful in it's
figures, and tho facts stated by it may be
taken as approximately corroct.--Colum-
