conducted by Rev. J. A. Dorrittee,
who for years was in the Y. NJ. G. A.
work. He is an excellent singer and
succeeded in enlisting the voices of the
whole convention. His address on
Wednesday night showed that he is
also good speaker.
The convention was presided over
by Mr.. J. A. Watson, of Yorkville,
who proved to be good chairman.
Probably the briefest, most compre-
hensive and pointed speech of the
convention was made by our Mr.. W. J.
Roddey in welcoming the convention
to our town and the Presbyterian
church.
There was much interest manifested
in the meetings of the body.

merce of the valley of the Mississippi,
from the Alleghanies to the Rockies,
and from Minnesota to the Gulf, and
by it will pass all the commerce of
Asia when the Isthmian canal is con-
structed, as it will be in few years.
The harbor of Havana is the finest on
the American hemisphere. 1t can ac-
commodate 1000 ships.
The population of Havana is 3O0,-
600; of the island 100000, of which
1,11O,O00 are pure white and 52O,3l6
colored, meaning blacks, mulattoes,
Indians, Chinese and mixed blood.
The total exports of Cuba amount
to $90,OOO,OOO year, of which we
take $75,OO0,000.
Our exports to Cuba consist of bread
and meat, machinery and manufact-
ures Of iron, amounting to $24 l57 ,69S
in 1898. There are 1000 miles OF
railroad connecting Havana with the
other cities and most cultivated plan
tations. The war has destroyed the
trade temporarily.
War has existed in Cuba since 1868,
with a semi-truce from 1878 to 1895.
The island has been ravaged from end
to end plantations have been destroy
ed and buildings burned by both sides.
The country houses in Cuba are
some of them grand palaces. One of
them which l visited covered probably
10 to Is acres of ground. Around it
was a wall - feet high, Is feet through
the base and feet on the parapet. 1t
was fortification, and could be held
against everything except heavy artil-
lery. "La Guinta Delicia de Platino,"
near Havana, is much finer that Buck
ingham palace or anything 1 saw in
England. When 1 was there it was
garrisoned by 500 infantry and light
battery of 81 1-pounders. The guns
were posted en- barbette on the roof
and wall and commanded wide plain,
over which the commanding officer
told me "the rebels might charge any
morning-a rush of l, 900 yards-so he
kept on the alert
This description OF country houses
shows why the Cubans destroy them.
They furnish refuge and depots for the
Spaniards who cannot sleep in the
open and dare not venture far from
their supplies. Gomez's policy is that
of William of Orange against these
same Spaniards. He cut the dykes of
Holland and destroyed the country to
get rid of the Duke of Alva and his
barbarians.
The Cubans now tell you, "We will
make the country desert, but we will
have the sky and the soil left. We
can reconstruct our homes; we can
not live in the same one as the Span
iards." I know gentlemen who were
rich, who have been reduced to pov.

The ROUGH RIDERS. idea Of
the personal conditions Of the cam
paigning in Cuba, says the New York
Sun, may be gained by the following
extracts from letter received yester-
day from a private of Roosevelt's
Rough Riders. The writer of the let
ter is a youth who like most of bis fel-
low New Workers in the regiment, has
been accustomed to luxurious apart
ments, the best of cooking, travel in
private sections of vestibule trains and
clothing over the composition Of which
tailors and haberdashers have spent
anxious thought. At present he is
eating when he is fortunate, travelling
on foot, and occasionally on hands
and feet, and sleeping in the open or
under small tent, while the state of
his wardrobe is thus described
SIN the first place 1 have no under
clothing on, no socks on in fact moth
ing but pair shoes, trousers, q shirt
and hat. The aforementioned trous-
ers are so full of holes that if made
my appearance on the Bowery in this
rig would be arrested for violation of
the city ordinances.
Cup to this morning I had not had
a wash for 10 days. I am tanned
fine chocolate color and look like
Spanish pirate. We Rough Riders
are about the toughest looking lot of
men you ever set eyes on, all typical
hoboes, and, strange to say, the eastern
contingent looks worse than the west
ern. We have won our reputation,
but it has cost US dear. Only 275 Of
our 600 that landed in Cuba are on the
active list"

share of sugar. Under this system
the production of sugar increased so
per cent. between 1878, when slavery
was abolished, and 1883, and will in
crease still more when peace is re-
stored. Now, after this long introduce
ton, to the point as to the advantages
offered to energy, intelligence, indus
try. I put aside the question of an
nexation. A large per cent. of Cubans
in the field will oppose it; that is hu-
man nature. After such struggle
they want to enjoy the fruits of vic
tory. Gomez wants to be president,
Garcia to succeed him, etc.
But the forces of nature, the laws of
society, march with an irresistible
power, which laws and constitutions
are powerless to withstand. I under
stand now, as I never did in 1S6l-65,
that the watershed of the Mississippi,
inhabited by a homogeneous race,
must be under our system of govern
ment. I thought then, as l think
now, it would have been better for hu-
man progress-better for the happiness
of the North American people-if the
gulf states had been allowed "to 60 in
peace" for believed the attraction of
political cohesion would have recon-
ciled the Union by the reunion of the
valley of the Mississippi, and the great
strain on the theory and practice of a
government by consent would have
been spared. We do not yet know
how it will result. The march of i'm
perialism from Appomattox, has not
yet been stayed; but I can see move
ment of the imperial Democracy man
ifest toward the Antilles. Cuba is q

Proceedings of the Recent Convention In
Rock Hill.

Rock Hill.
From The Herald, of Saturday.
This convention met according 10
announcement in the First Presbyte-
rian church on Wednesday at II a. 10.
and adjourned on Thursday at 10 p. m.
There were sc delegates present, most
ly from York and Lancaster counties.
The convention was a success from
the standpoint of those most inter.
ested IN it and for whose benefit it was
called.
The opening sermon, by Rev. DR..
J. w. Stagg, of Charlotte, was very
fitting introduction to the deliberations
of the body. His text was the words
of our Saviour, eff any man will be
chief among you let him be your
servant"
DR.. Stagg delivered an admirable
address on Thursday morning on
"The Spirit of Presbyterianism." 1t
was richly enjoyed by all who heard
him.
The Rev. A. ]. McKelway, also of
Charlotte, delivered a very instructive
address on "The Influence and Power
of the Holy Spirit In the Church." on
Wednesday, and on Thursday night,
his address on 1.-THE Catholicity of
Presbyterianism" was rich, and show
ed him to be a man of power, and one
f,,lIy nocted on his suhiect
The addresses of all the speakers on
the programme were carefully prepar-
ed and much above the average of
such efforts, in the judgment of those
who are accustomed to them. We
cannot forbear the special mention of
the opening addresses on the Elder
shin and on the Diconate.
The first one was delivered by MIR.
w. F. Stevenson, of Cheraw, S. c., a
gentleman of high reputation in the
church and in the state. He handled
his subject as if he had been lecturing
to class on church government.
Mr.. G. E. Spencer, of Yorkville,
spoke on the Diaconate IN a manner
which won the admiration of all who
heard him. His was a mastery effort
for laynan.
Other speeches might we'll be men
toned with high praise, especially
those of Mr.. A. P. Brown, of Heath
Spring, and Rev. S. H. Hay, of Clover.
The singing was excellent and was

The history of this case is but type
of many others in Virginia, the Caro-

this reason it is givel l.. such detail
The destruction of these works during
the war, the poverty that followed that
struggle, the litigation with creditors,
furnish some of the reasons, for Is or
20 years after Appomattox, the south
was not able to begin anew any active
industrial development.

Letters Wheat Deal.

Letters famous wheat deal was form
ally closed May 81. The last moments
were lively and Joseph Letter, to all
appearances. was master of the situa-
tion. AS if to emphasize his command
of the market, Letter sent Nav wheat
down from s1.75 to s1.25. This move
was plainly for the purpose of evading
the big receipts and to c'rcumvent the
"tai(ers," who wanted to ring in a
lot of wheat on Letter at fancy prices.
Letter fooled them by putting the
price down. Nevertheless, he had to
take on another SEQ 600 bushels today.

million bushels which he still has on
his hands. All attempts to place

are concerned, at the elimination of

MOTHERS MISTAKE. /
Marietta Mothers Make IL, But with
aLittie Light There Need Be

How carefully parents guard the se-
crets OF their boys and girls. At night
as they carefully tuck the bed clothes
abound them they chide and warn
them that they will be angry If they
repeat last nights offense, softly saw
ing TO themselves, it's only a habit,
but we must break them of it. This is
the parents mistake. The children
cannot help it, and sweet, clean dry
beds can be the resting place of every
child when it is understood that the
cause is not habit, but a weakness
that can be cured. Active life Of the
little ones tend to weaken the kidneys.
and weak kidneys means inability to
retain the urine. This is a condition,
not habit. and should have the same
prompt attention you would give to
the marked symptoms of any disease.
One Doan's Kidney Pills taken twice
day and at bed time will strengthen
the kidneys Of child in a short time.
There will be no cause to scold for the
so-called habit will disappear promptly.
Mrs. VIM. Mcbride, Of No. 2s2 West
Bloom street Mansfield, Ohio, saws:
My little boy when he was eight
weeks old was attacked with rheufna-
tism He recovered from the immedi-
ate effects of it but ever since he has
had weak kidneys. This has given
me great deal of trouble both during
the night AND the day, on account of
the inability to retain the urine. 1t
apparently had the effect of making
him feel poorly, for his appetite flag
ged and he did not thrive. We were
anxious to get something that would
benefit him. 50 when we noticed more
than one account of Doan's Kidney
Pills curing such cases we got him a
box. We gave him one pill at time
and were very much pleased that he
was taking turn for the better, and
showed steady improvement. We can
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills for
this distressing weakness in children"

MONDAY, JUNE ,s, 1893

IT has been decided not to push for
action on the annexation of Hawaii in
the Senate until the war revenue bill
has been disposed OF, and not to com
plicate the two. The following words
from Senator Frye about states the
position OF the supporters OF annexa-
tion: II do not think that we will
leave Washington until we have done
something definite on this subject. 1t
ought to have been done long ago, but
we seem to have been unable to az
complish results. The bare fact that
our ships would stop at Honolulu and
take on coal would not alarm anyone.
Hawaii will not become responsible to
Spain nor to any one else. We will as
sumo that responsibility, and before
this Congress adjourns we will take
such action as will throw all respons-
bility upon our own shoulders. If an
nexation does not prevail, owing to
the failure of Congress to act, the
President can seize the islands, and if
he heeds the advice of those who are
friendly to him he will not be slow in
taking possession of them
