Divorced and Married.

One day last week Mrs; Min;
ME Schilling, % years old and
pretty obtained divorce from Conrad
Schilling in a. St. Louis court. Before
she stepped out Of the court room Har
~ J. Holiness, Of Ballston, \. y, whc
heard the proceedings, rushed up to the
young woman, renewed an acquaintance
of long standing and proposed matrlmo'
ny on the spot. He was accepted with
Just as much rapiGity: and the couple
went to the marriage license office.
After producing dollar and getting
the coveted document, they marched tc
Judge Haughton.s Office, where Mrs.
Schilling promptly became Mrs: Holl,
ness. The whole thing was done IN
less than fifteen minutes after the dl,
vorce decree was read. Even the mar,
riage license clerks. used to hasty we'd
dings, were astonished at the celebrity
displayed by this couple. Gladys Rose
the three-year-old daughter Of the bride,
was with her, and as soon as the knot
was tied the alert bridegroom picked ur
his stepchiId and walked off with his
';little family in conscious pride.

er's right hand in household matters,
and who is not above taking ar interest
in the most trivial matters in connec-
tion with house duties.

entertaining companion, and who has
ever kind word and pleasant smile for
all with whom she comes in contact.

gency can turn her hand to anything,
from cooking the family dinner to re-
trimming an old hat
They admire the girl who is unselfsh
enough to give up some pleasure of her
own to benefit another, and does not
consider herself aggrieved at having to
do so.
They admire the cir! who can talk Of
more important things than dress or the
last new opera, and who can listen in
telligently when deeper subjects ale in
troduced.

trict there was Republican nominee

of Prisoners.

The Peace Commission at Paris will
soon be through with its work. Spain
has accepted the American demands.
The Spanish commissioners announced
being authorized by their government
to reply that though the American
propositions are inadmissible on legal
principles and are not proper compro-
mise on legal principles, that on the
Spanish part all diplomatic resources
are exhausted and that Spain, inspired
by reasons of patriotism and humanity
and to avoid the horrors of war, resigns
herself to the power Of the victor. She
accepts the offered conditions uncondi-
tionally in order to conclude treaty of
peace. The American demands includ-
ed the acquisition Of the whole of the
Philippine and Sulu groups for s2O,-
900, 900, and it is also understood the
United States will purchase the Caro-
line group. The question Of the deb:
of Cuba was left unsettled.

fore the two commissioners covering the
following subjects:

pines.

can missionaries there.

States to inaugurate in the Philippines
an ''open door" policy and to guarantee
the same to Spain for at least twelve
years.

broken by the war.

a Verv Peculiar Case.

A very peculiar case is now puzzling
the people of Walterboro and vicinity.
The Press and Standard gives the fol-
lowing particulars Of it: Thursday
morning last Sam Riggs, a Negro living
in the low country, drove into town AID
presented Sheriff Owens with a horse
and buggy and double barrelled
breechloading gun, with one barrel
empty and the other loaded with buck
shot. Riggs said that Wednesday night
two men broke into his house, cursed
him and then would have shot him,
but another Negro being present and
knocking up the gun, the load took ct,
feet in the side Of the house. He said
that several of his friends were in the
house with him then, and that before
the man could shoot again one of them
had seized the gun and wrenched it
from him; that the men being thus dis
armed, gave up the attempt and fled.
Their horse and buggy was tied nearby,
but they were so closely pursued by the
enraged Negroes that they didn't stop,
but continued their fight through the
woods. The Negroes, failing to over.
take their would-be lynchers, united
the horse, jumped into the buggy, drove
to Walterboro and turned them over to
the sheriff. Riggs says there were
other white men near, but does not
know who they were or how many. But
this is Riggs side Of the story. MIR;
Dave Blocker, to whom the horse and
buggy belonged, tells another story5
He came to town, regained possession
of his property through claim and de-
livery proceedings. He says he was
waylaid on the highway and deprived
Of the turnout. 1t is rather peculiar
case and somewhat involved in mys-
terry"

This is rather discouraging result Of
years labor. 1t does not matter much
to him that sugar, shoes, funiture and
clothing are cheaper than ever before.
Wherewithall has he to buy? 1t stated
by the gentleman who furnished US
these figures that the tenant is thrifty,
industrious man, and in addition to
laboring himself, two other members Of
his family worked on the farm. There
are six in the family to clothe and
shoe, etc., and there were doctors bills
$3.50 and taxes $40. Take these
amounts from the amounts charged to
necessary family expenses" and one
can Judge whether the expenditures Of
this family Of six persons were extrava-
CANT or not. When such is the expert
ence of an intelligent, industrious and
economical family, in which every ct
fort was made to make both ends meet
it is easy to see how much worse 1t
was with large percentage who are
shiftless and who kept no amount OF
expenditures or cost. 1t is BAD STATE
Of affairs, and all talk about 4-cent cot
ton not hurting the southern planter Is
simply talk and nothing more. In the
abandonmento Of cotton to large extent
and the cultivation of diversified crops,
the southern farmer must look Tor re-
demption. Cotton must be raised IN
the south, Of course, and will continue
to be, but the southern planter must
raise his food crops also, and must learn
to produce cotton at less cost.

from Spain, but as they form part OF
our new empire we include it with the
others. According to the dimensions
Cuba is about the size Of New York,
Ohio or Alabama.
Porto Rico is little smaller than
Connecticut.
The Hawaiian Islands are somewhat
smaller than New Jersey, the largest
island, Hawaii, being about twice the
size of Delaware.
The Philippines cover land space
aboutas great as New York and the New
England states together. Luzon, on
which Manila is situated, it not much
smaller than New York.
All the new dependencies together
are about equal in erea to the New
England States, New York, Pennsyl-
yania and New Jersey.

The Lessonsis .Plain.

It has been stated that because Of
the low prices at which the farmer can
procure the things he has to buy, he is
better off despite the fact that he gets
so little for his cotton, but this has
beea effectively and convincingly an
swered as follows in the Augusta Chro-
nicle: Suppose farmers cotton costs
him scents pound to make it. and he
sells it for Scents. He has Scents
pound profit with which to buy his
sugar, coffee, clothing, shoes and other
necessities. Now suppose that, though
it cost him 5-cents to make it, he only
gets 4-cents pound for it. Instead Of
having balance to spend, he has lost
money on his years work. Now, what
does it matter to the farmer who has
not made cent whether sugar, shoes,
household goods, clothing, etc., are
cheaper than they were few years ago,
if he has nothing with which to buy
them? This is not fancy sketch, but
is the problem that confronts many
farmer today. Here is a statement
from an intelligent man in Jefferson
county who keeps books on his farming
operations. 1t is the experience of

cauley, I believe, who said Of the
French Revolution, 1T destroyed lib
erty, but preserved civilization. 1t was
an awful calamity when, after the war,
vast horde of ignorant voters were en-
franchised. More than once have our
people been face to face with the dread
choice between liberty and civiliza-
ton.
Once in South Carolina Wade Hamp-
ton thrilled the hearts of our people
with the words:-'1 will be Governo,
Of South Carolina, or, by the EternaIr
we will have military government.
Better for me military despotism than
a civilization inferior, degraded and
corrupt.
This is the cause of civilization. The
Southern people can stand four cent
cotton and poverty, but they will not
stand Negro domination. As long as
there is decent white man living he
will be ready to die in defence of our
women and our civilization.
think one Of the greatest mistakes
now being made is in the methods of
education of the Negro. He is being
rapidly developed Intellectually before
he is prepared industrially and moral
ly. The three should 60 hand in hand,
and the process in the first is too rapid
for the latter to keep pace. On the
contrary, it is just and right and abso-
lutely best and wisest for both races
that the white people, who settled this
country and civilized it and made 1.-THE
grandest country on the globe, and who
have done more for the negro race than
all other peoples, should govern it as a
whole and in all its parts. 1t is their
country and they have right to rule it,
nd they certainly will rule it.
