the wind and rain storm which passed
over Morris County Tuesday. Fruit
trees, especially those located ON the
hill tops, suffered to great extent.
A large tree near the Lackawanna
tracks, between Ford avenue and
Sneeden s crossing was torn up by the
roots. Two houses in Morristown
We're partially unroofed by the gale.
One was a small dwelling on Morris
street owned by the Money estate
and the other was house on Madison
street.
One of the most pleasant affairs Id
in connection with the work of the
First Congregational Church was that
of mystery tea and fair held under
the auspices of the Ladies Guild on
Tuesday evening. The large number
present and the spirit of helpfulness
and cordiality which was everywhere
prevalent contributed no small degree
of encouragement for the future A
cozy sum was realized, which will
materially aid the church in broaden
ing it's work.

FOLLOW AS THE. DAY, THOU cANsT
Farmers Boys at College.

Some interesting figures as to the
proportion of farmers boys among
college students have been gathered
by the American Agriculturist. 1t
has returns from 178 universities and
colleges, reporting an attendance of
$4,000 students, out of total Of
$4,000 in all the higher educational
institutions of the country, In it's
analysis of the figures the. Agrioul-
turist reduces the number of students
considered to little under $4,000,
for some unexplained reason exolud-
ing, it says, few city colleges, like
Harvard, Pratt Institute, University
of Rochester, Fisk University and
others. Out of this total of about
$4,000 it finds that nearly $4,000 are
from the agricultural classes, or a
percentage of 40.2 from tho farm.
This percentage varies largely in
different sections of the country. It.
is 500 in the South, 45.8 in the far
West, 40.1 in the Central West, 2O.4
in the Middle States and 29.1 in New
England. "In no other nation will
any such condition be found" com.
ments the Agriculturist. eft is a
wonderful tribute to the general
intelligence of our American farmers
families, and to the high hopes and
deep aspirations of their sons and
daughters. This exhibit adds NIGHTLY
to the dignity of agriculture, at least
in the eyes Of the masses in other
vocations." ."-Boston Globe.

SENATOR rILLMAn MAKES A SPEECH.
Outlines the Senatorial Campaign a
Peace and Unity Man.

SUMTER, August 4.---The pionic al
which Eillnaan spoke to-day began as Q

end thore was lots of gingor, and the

along pretty we'll, and he would say
nothing to raise old issues or revive old
animosities, and protested against the
heavy coats Of "butter' that had been
laid on him by DR.. II. r. Abbott, tho Re-
form Senator from this county in 1890,
in his Introductory speech, boldly as
serted in tho afternoon, in reply to q
speech of Representative T.. D. Smith,
that he was no goody-good peace and
unity man, and that there had already
boen too much of that sort of thing.
In tho afternoon Congressman Stokes
made speech and then Representative
e. d. Smith was called to tho stand. lie

going for tho dispensary and tho man.

Senator Tillman replied in q speech
nearly an hour long that had all of the
earmarks of an 1890 campaign meeting.
Ho ropudiatod the demand that he dis.
charged his duties in Washington and
run State affaiIs also. Ho said ho would
be candidate for re- -olection and would
take q hand in tho next campaign, stump
ing overy county in the State in support
Of tho dispensary if necessary. Ho
would lick tho opponents of tho system
out of thoir boots or go down with its
ruins. He asserted that tho dispensary
was not intended to DO moral institu-
tion, but a place where people who
wanted to drink could get all thoy want
cd of a good quality and tho State re-
ceivo tho profits.
1t was forced on him, anyway. lie
found tho devil loose whom ho wont into
Office and he did not attempt to chain
him. The State had to choose between
prohibition and tho disponsary, and rs

Among themselves, woman is an ar

whom thoy bought from the Mhoors,
for which they paid from $50 to 500

[ have been here for nearly one
year and I will be glad when my
time comes to return home. I will
be happy to once more return home,
for let mo say that the beautiful
scenery of these far away islands,
the curious people and the many
other objects too numerous to men-
tion, are all very well to have seen
and to retain in my memory as q
picture to look at, think Of and to
talk about, but not country for me
to live in. The beautiful hilltops,
mountains and valleys of old Gecr-
gia are far moro beautiful and dear
to me than any other part of the
world, and when I once more set my
foot on Georgia's soil, my birthplace,
home, friends and everything that is
dear to man, 1 will simply say: "1t

here in Georgia let me live my life
here lot me die; for here only can
live my life happy and content"

Should we be compelled to fight
these people there is no doubt that
just one good battle will be sufficient
to learn those devilish Mhoors what
American soldiers can do, as well as
to bring that obstinate Sultan to his
senses. Icannot describe this Sui
tan, for have not seen him, but
those few who have had glimpse
of him, say that he is considerably
better looking than the common
Mhoors; is quito we'll dressed, con-
sidering the style of this island, but,
goodness knows, he has something
like eighteen wives to take care of
him, 30 there is no reason why he
should not be we'll taken care of,
and count q few pair of calico pants
in his wardrobe.
The place where tho Sultan re-
sides is about one-half mile from the
CITY and close to the shore, facing
the bay, and in excellent position to
be bombarded by our gunboat, should
he become too cranky to deal with.
The building is large, square, three
story building, and can easily be
seen from the city. The principal
products of the island are hemp, fruit
and coffee. Coffee is not grown in
any large quantities. The most pay
ing industry is that OF pearls. Pearl
divers are plentiful, the most of
them are Cinnamon, and they seem
to prosper in their dangerous voca-
ton. 1t is claimed that JULIO is the
cheapest place in the world to buy
pearls.
Oh, yes, the women, had almost
forgotten them There is not much
to say Of them. They wear trou-
sers; they are not pretty, but quite
the reverse, and like the men. 1t
don't take many yards of calico to
dress them. They are known, how
ever, to be faithful, kind-hearted
and oLedient, but slaves to their
men, yet the men think greet deal
of them, and would go miles and
fight hard to avenge an insult di-

SHE'S GOT ZEN aDsaONE.
Miss jeWett, Of Boston, Visits this State
and Carries Back a Negro Family.

7 CHARLESTON, August 6.--Miss LILLIAN
Clayton Jewett, tho Boston girl who is
heading the anti-lynohing agitation in
the North, has been in Charleston two
days and returned TO tho North this af-
tornoon, taking with her Lavinia Baker,
wife of Postmaster Frasier B. Baker,
who was lynohed at Lake City, together
with her five children.
Miss Jewett declared in o mass meet
ing in Boston recently that she would
bring the Bakers to that city and pro.
vide for thom. She will hold a series of
mass meetings in leading Northern cities
and exhibit the Bakers at them with O
Wow to stirring up an anti-lynching SEN
timent .. ......
She said to-day that she was aware
that tho best people OF tho South wore
opposed to lynching and that she hoped
to have their support in what she is do
ing. She said she had no definite plans
as yet, but merely proposed to agitato
with tho view to developing the solution
of the problem which she had set herself
to solvo with tho assistance of tho law
abiding people of the nation.
Miss Jewott is rather handsome
woman, about "a years of age. She was
educated in Virginia and processes to
have tho greatest admiration and love
for the South.
She was accompanied here by her
mother and r. G. Larson, representa-
two of tho Boston Herald.
Rcv. j. L. Dart, colored minister of
this city, who has just returned home
from Boston, opposes Miss Jowett's
scheme in the bitterest manner. Dart
declares that tho whole thing is the out
growth of desire to mako money and
gain notoriety on the part of few peo-
pie. Ho says tho best colorcd as we'll as
tho best, white people of Boston are
against tho enterprise, and that aftor an
investigation, they don't think Miss

such u movement as this.

promise measure, and it was voted
for and really passed by the prohibi-
tionists, for they certainly held the
balance of power, because some Of
them honestly believed that it was a
step in the direction of prohibition.
1t may be remarked here, by way
of parenthesis, that The writer never
shared in such belief. 1t was de-
clared by its advocates to be great
moral institution, intended to our
tail the sale of whisky and gradually
lead to prohibition, and great many
of the best prohibtionists in the State
were led to advocate the law for that
reason, aud that alone. Even in the
last campaign, it was arged from the
stump that the, law ought to be re-
tanned because of its moral features,
and now comes the the great father
of the institution, and, in one breath,
knocks all the morality out of it,
and declares that it was never 80
intended that he fooled the Prohibi-
tionists from the start, and led from
the path of rectitude the towards and
hypocrites, and so it was not passed
because of its moral features it was
not intended curtail the sale of whis-
key, but it was intended to give the
people all they want of good quail
ity of whiskey. -
True, this is not much information
to great many people, but the
writer is glad to have it from 80 high
an authority as Senator Tillman. He
is glad to have the system unmasked,
and let it stand out before the people
for what it really is: A scheme to-
give the people all they want to drink
and make money for the State.
Shorn of its so-called morality. and
declared by its reputed fathers to be
simply II whiskey selling scheme for
the sake of revenue only, such is the
dispensary. Let the people who
have been supporting it for moral
ity's sake take due notice and form
themselves accordingly.
BY the way, it might be profitable
to know some of the towards and
hypocrites who were members of the
General Assembly in 1892. 1t is
useless to call names, but the writer
knows some of them personally, and
a good many of them by reputation,
good men and true, who will not ap-
preciate being called towards and
hypocrites, and whose shoes Senator
Tillman is not worthy to unlatch.
