VAN WICK ITEMS.

The cool wet weather for the
few 'ast days, has checked our
farmers in their early planting of
their crops. However, they are
we'll up with their work and they
will have plenty of time to get
their land prepared aud planted.
There has been some aFprehen-
sion among our early gardeners,
and fruit growers as to the fate
of their early vegetables and fruit,
since Jack Frost has put in his
appearance again. The genera!
opinion is, that these luxrrias arc
still safe.
Our fishing clubs have disbaHd-
ed until the weather gets warmer
when they expect to make up
for lost time. Optimus has not

The convention of democratic
prohibitionlsts which met at this
place Monday was a representa-
tive body of protesting christian
men; men, who realize that the
responsibility for the traffic in
whiskey rests upon the church
its members; God-fearing men
who would wash their hands OF
the responsibility by casting their
ballots and their influence against
tho legalizing of traffic which
has been the DEVILS creates
agency in destroying mems souls
Church members should be tn,
avowed enemies of the traffic. l
is right that they should be il
the front rank of the fight fo
prohibition. 1t is expected o
them, and if the banner of pro
hibition should be turled in de
feat at the approaching election i
will be because church members
knew their duty and did it not.

IF we 60 into war with Spain,
says the Abbeville Press and Ban
ner, 'it might be we'll enough for
the United States government to
draft her pensioners for the first
campaign. They being already in
the pay of the government, their
presence would add very little to
the expense. If they should be
killed we could spare them with
less loss than we could the death
of younger men. Let the Span
iards try their hands on the pen
sioners first. If the Spaniards
kill the pensioners of the United
States government, then she could
send better soldiers from her re-
serve force

Acreage Reduction.

Captain Samuel + White, of
Fort Mill, is of opinion that the
present scheme for cotton acreage
reduction is 'mpructicabIc, for the
reason that Il majority Of the
smaller farmers have very little
sayso as to the amount OF cotton
they shall plant. Bot the captain
thinks something can he accom-
pllshed by an organization of the
large farmers who raise 50 ba.
and over. 1t is they not the
little FELLOWSHIP says, who made
the big surplus. Then, he sug-
gests, let them organize aud see
what can be done. There is lots

Whites suggestions. y Yorkville

IN MEMORY OF EARLE.
McLaurin and Tillman Pay Tribu.
tcs to the Late Senator.

Especial to The News and Courier.
Washington, March 20. 9.-The
senate paused today, in the midst
of Il whirlwind of war talk, to pay
tribute to the memory Of the late
Senator Earle, of South Carolina.
Considering the short term of
service in the senate he was great
| ly beloved by his associates, and
the culogies passed upon him to-
day by leading senator's were of
an unusually high order.
Senator McLaurin, the successor
of Judge Earle, was appropriately
chosen to open the debate. 1t is
seldom that the senate has listened
to Il more beautiful and titting
testimonial to n departed senator
than that which the junior sena
tor from South Carolina paid TO
Judge Earle Senator McLaurin' S
personal and political friendship
for the dead senator enabled him
to Judge the deceased Mt short
range, and in the opening speech
ha sounded the keynote for nearly
al the remarks that followed.
Senator Chandler, of New
Hampshire; Clay, of Georgia;
Spooner, of Wisconsin; Chiffon,
of Texas; Cannon, of Utah; Ken
ncy, of Delaware, and McEnery,
of Louisiana, addressed the senate
in the order named.
Senator Tillnan closed the pro-
ccedings with plain, straightfor-
word story ofthe political career
of Judge Earle. Senator Tillman
departed somewhat from the usual
eulogistfc course and direc,ed his
remarks almost exclusively to the
political history surrounding
Judge Earle's life in the Palmetto
state. Senator Ti!lman prepared
his hearers for his rather extra
ordinary procedure by stating, in
his opening sentences, that he was
not personally friendly to the
dead senator, as they had been
political antagonists in state poll
ties. lie then proceeded to- re-
view the political history of South
Carolina, with a dash here and
there of some of his characteristic
tartness of expression, which jar.
red upon the solemnity of the
ceremonies. He said he would
I've cersurea for such q radical de-
parture from. the beaten track on
such occasions; but he wanted to
do full justice to the memory of
Judge Earle, to demonstrate that
he was faithful and devoted
public servant. There was not a
tinge of venom or disrespect in
Senator Tillman's remarkable
euIogy upon bis dead colleague,
and he impressed the senate that
he was earnest in his admiration
of the manly, digni6ed and able
qualities which finally enabled the
subject of his eulogy to end his
life in the United States ser ate.

SPANS POWER 500 YEARS AGO.

Macaulay drew this picture of the
power of Spain 800 years ago, that it
interesting 10 recall at just this
juncture. The empire of Philip the
second was undoubtedly one of the
most powerful and splendid that ever
existed in the world. 1t is no eXag
geration to say that during several
years his power over Europe was
greater than even that of Napoleon.
In America his dominions extended
on both sides of the equator into the
temperate zone. There is reason to
believe that his annual revenue
amountd, in the season of his great
est power, to sum 10 times as large
as that which England yielded to
Elizabeth. He had standing army
Of $4,000 troops, when England had
not a single battalion in constant pay
He held, what no other prince in
modern times has held, the dominion
! both of the land and the sea- Dur
ing the greater part of his reign he
was supreme on both elements. His
soldiers marched up to the capital
of France; his ships menaced the
shores of England. Spain had what
( Napoleon desired in vain-ships,
colonies and commerce. She long
monopolized the trade of America
and Of the Indian ocean. All the
gold of the west and all the spices
of the east were received and distri-
buted by her Even after the defeat
of the Armada, English statesmen
continued to look with great dread
on the maritime power of Philip.
Whoever wished to be we'll acquainted
with the morbid anatomy of govern
ments; whoever wishes to know how
great states may be made feeble and
wretchei; should study the history
of Spain.

WHAT is A "KNOT?"

Every ship carries log line. This
is a line, small and strong, with a
triangular plate at the free end, so
arranged that when thrown into the
water, it stands erect and presents Its
full face to the ship. The line runs
freely from a reel, so the plate re-
mains practically stationary while
the line runs out On the line are
knots of colored yarn which gives
name to the line. Those knots are
placed at distances pror toned the
same as 80 seconds are to an hour.
That is, knot on the line, the dis
lance between two marks, is the
120th part of sea mile. The num-
Der of knots which run off in half
a minute, then, shows the number of
knots the ship is sailing an hour. A
nautical mile is 6,0S0.27 feet, while
statute mile is $3.50 feet. A knot"
is therefore l.151 statute miles Eff
teen knots is 1927 miles; 20 knots is
% miles. To get the rate of any OF
the ships reported in knots, in land
niles, multiply the knots by 1.151.
