The sensation Of the week was the
demand made by Spain upon Presl
dent Mckinley for the recall OF
General Fitzhugh Lee as United
States Consul to Cuba and that pro-
visions be sent to the suffering Cabans
in vessels other than armed men OF
war. Both Of these requests were
promptly declined by President Nc
Kirley and Spain receded from her
demands, and thus the incident has
ended for the present. About
fifty million dollars was appro-
priated by the House yesterday
amid the widest enthusiasm and
made Immediately available for the
purchase of gun power explosives
and other munitions of war. The
House has passed d bill creating two
new artillery Regiments. This is
considered war measure. O'her
warlike measures are being pushed
with almost startling rapidity. Ar
rangements have been completed for
the purchase Of a number OF first
second and third class war vessels
should it be decided that they are
needed.
Spain is said to be no less active in
making preparations for war. We
trust, however, that an amicable adj
justment of the differences between
the two nations will be satisfactorily
effected and obviate the necessity OF
unmuzzling the war dogs.

Editor Culp Of the Union Times,
has ceased to smoke the pipe of peace
and has put on full coating Of war
paint and is just hungering and
thirsting for Spanish gore and it
seems that nothing but gore will sat
isfy him. He has written an open
letter to Governor Ellerbe wherein
he graphically recounts the deeds of
bravery of the State MALTA during
the memorable Greenville campaign
while rusticating on the classic banks
of Reedy river in 1883, and winds up
by offering his valuable and indis-
pensable services to the State.

Eaiiv Day.
Old Point, S. G, Feb. 25,h, 1898.

Old Point, S. G, Feb. 25,h, 1898.
Ny Dear Sir and Brother: Alter
much serious thought and conside:a-
ton have at list decided to issue
tie Gail fpr + lily Day, for every sub
Alliance that has ever been in exist
ence in South Carolina, on March
II. 1898.
The reason for this must commend
itself to your mind and heart. Our
country is most surely settling itself
into conditions and quagmires that
promise no good for the farmer-for
his interest or his family after him.
This is most assuredly an age Of
combines. We have combines Of cor
poration, combines Of brain and
money with brain and money, until
there is low scarcely an article that
you use that is not controlled by a
Trust-from the Gil that lights the
lamp by which the young mother
sings her first lullaby. to the nail
that must go in the coffin. The
monster trust is thus feeling its way
to test your patience and the ability
of the Alliance on cotton ties. The
Jute Trust may again arise and
shake itself. What can the indlvid-
ual do? Answer: Nothing but sub
NIT. What can the Alliance do,
with every old and new member in
active afiliation and good standing?
Answer: Give relief and demard
respect.
I therefore send you this personal
appeal to sec to it that your sub
Alliance meets on the day appointed,
and that all members be requested
and urged to put themselves in good
standing with the State and National
Alliance by paying their annual dues,
which will be twenty-five (25c.) cents
State and ten (10c) cents National.
All back dues are to be cancelled.
The County dues can be arranged
with the County Alliance.
The National Farmers Alliance, in
Supreme Council, has provided for a
Charter Guard, which is working
we'll in California. Will be glad to
give further explanation when le-
questcd.
Reorganize your defunct Alliances,
elect delegates to your County Ali
ance and see that they attend; for
sake not the assembling ofyourselves.
Your next county meeting, according
to Constitution, will be the second
Friday in April. I hope to commu-
nicate with every County Alliance at
that time. Ifyou have had no county
meeting for some time, let it be
known that one is called to meet at
YOUR Court House on the second
Friday in April, and go to it.
Fraternally,
J. G.. Wilborp,
Pres. F. A. of S. G.
The above has my endorsement
and trust all sub Alliances will act
promptly.
D. F. E6rd.
County President.

"DaMNAsLE" LIBEL.

The Columbia State, commenting
last Thursday on the acqulttal OF
Robert Hook for the killing OF 70
liceman Goss at BrooklaDd; the Kill
ing of T. J. TRIMMER at Spartan
burg, and the murder Of Baker and
his infant babe at Lake City, is un-
Justly harsh and entirely too severe on
the people Of this county in partlcu-
lar and the white people Of the State
in general.
That the taking of human life un-
der any circumstances is greatly de-
plored by peaceful and law abiding
citizens of every condition in l'te'
But there are oftentimes conditions
when it becomes an absolute neces-
sity for the shedding Of human blood
to protect ones own life and property
Both Divine and human law recog-
nizes this and when a case OF sell
defence is clearly established, or
there are mitigating circumstances
surrounding a homicide, both laws
either justi6es or excuses the act
To ascertain the circumstances IN
cases of this class, as well as to pun
i.h the malicious and wanton viola
tion of the law, were our criminal
courts instituted. We never heard
a word of the testimony either Tor
the prosecution or defense on Hooks
trial: we are as certain as certain can
be that the States editor did not, be-
cause he was neither in the court
house nor in town. We have not
read a line of the evidence, and we
are satisfied that the Columbia edl-
tor did not either, because none OF 1t
was published. Now, who is to be
the Judge of the merit OF Hooks
defense? 4 self confessed prejudlced
editor, sitting in his saptum fourteen
miles away from our temple OF JUS
tice, who never heard word OF the
testimony, or jury of twelve as
good, as honest and as conscientious
men as this country ever produced,
who patiently and attentively listened
to the testimony as it fell from the
lips of sworn witnesses, both pro
and con for two days. This question
is easy of answer. The Judge before
whom the case was tried is one of
the most eminent and upright lurist
in the State and if there had been
even the semblance of "damnable
perjury Of the jury" the Judge
would have most sssuredly rebuked
the jury and caused an indictment to
be issued against each one OF them.
The prosecution was conducted with
unusual closeness and skill, ability
and thorough knowledge of the
law marked every stage as the case
progressed, so we have been reliably
informed, and had the jury COM
mitted ':damnable perjury" Solicitor
Thurmond would have certainly no
ticed it and would have Immediately
instituted legal proceedings against
it's members. Judge Klugh, at
Chambers in Columbia, strengthened,
if he did not virtually favorably de-
eide, Hooks case in granting his ap
plication for bail by so pointedly and
so strongly commenting and sustain
ing the position Of the defense and
contention Of Hooks attorney. The
whole truth of the matter is that the
prejudice of the States editor and
his zeal to put check upon the
growing prevalence Of crime have
warped his judgment and blinded
his reason and in his high state Of
mental perturbance he charges
something which has existence only
in his imagination.

FARMERS INSTITUTE.
A GOOD ATTENDANCE AND INTERESTING
ADDRESSES.

The hall Of Paris Grange WAS well
filled at the hour for opening the farm
ers' institute Thursday. John +. Talbot
of Andover, member OF the Board OF
Agriculture for Oxford County, presided.
Secretary Mckeen WAS unable TO be
present on account OF III health. and his
place on the forenoon program Was
taken by W. q. Hunton OF Readfield,
member of the Board Of Agriculture for
kenuehec County. who gave an address
on dairyiDg. lie thought success In dairy
ing depended upon three elements-the
man, the COW and the feed-snd the most
important of these elements Is the man.
Members of the grange and visitors
enjoyed irst-clsss dinner In the dining
hall OF the grange.
In the afternoon Professor Chas. ID.
Woods, director OF the experiment sta
ton at the University OF Maine, gave an
address on stock Folders and Methods
Of Feeding" Professor Woods talk
was based upon the n C Of chemistry
as applied 10 the feeding OF animals.
He showed, what all farmers now under
stand TO some degree, that all animal
foods-and human foods also, for that
matter-Are composed OF three kinds OF
constituents - proteins, carbohydrates
and fats. which serve different purposes
in the ply sical economy-and that TO
get the best results from feeds there
should be the proper balance Of these
different constituents. There were dis
tribuied smong the audience leaflets
containing the analysis Of different fod-
ders, with some simple instruction In
the first principles Of the chemistry OF
feeding.
Many questions were asked, and
practical illustrations were furnished by
figuring upon the rations fed by some OF
those present, as furnished by them.
Professor Woods, however, WAS careful
to give emphasis to the principle that
no absolute rule for feeding could be
laid down, but that every man must TO
some extent Judge for himself, accord
| ing 10 his circumstances and his indi-
vidusl animals.
Particular attention was called by
Professor Woods to two laws passed
BY the last legislature regarding the
inspection Of seeds and concentrated
feeds. He already sees good results
from the seed law, and expects good
results from the other, though 1t has
been in operation only about four
months, and has not as yet been fully
tested.
In the evening Professor Woods gave
an address on 1.-The Influence Of Wide
Tires on Draft and Condition Of Roads.
His remarks were illustrated by Stats
tics. and gave q showing In general
favorable to the wide tires.
