Cotton And Tea Farms For South
Carolina.

Due West, April q 27-Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson is delighted
with his tour of South Carolina
thus far. He came through from
Charleston to this point today,
standing the long ride wei. Mr.
Wilson was much grati6ed at what
he saw of the country from the cal
windows and platform.
He is an entertaining talker and
doubtless will be called upon at
tomorrow nights oratorica! contest.
in which he is judge, to make a
brief address 10 the audience.
Mr.. Wilson expressed the deepest
interest in tea culture
and is so much gratifed at what
he saw of DR., sheppard's tea farm
at Summerville that today he said
he intended to Join DR.. Sheppard
in his efforts, and proposed to have
the government take the matter OF
tea culture up. He says the soil OF
South Carolina is specially adapted
to the cultivation of tea and be.
lieves the industry can be introduc.
I'd and made to develop as rapidly
as the beet sugar industry in his
section.
He is giving some attention tc
tobacco culture also, and is charm
ed with the cotton mill situation,
believing that therein is to be found
the future of the one crop farmer Of
the south.
Saturday he will inspect The
electric cotton mill at Pelzer, anc
on leaving here will be shown
something of the Piedmont section
by Congressman Latimer. On
Tuesday next he returns to Wash
ington, and remaining there a few
days will 90 on a similar trip tc
Mississippi. He has some expert,
ments bearing upon the culture OF
tobacco in view that promise great
things for the growers of the weed
He was given cordial welcome
here.--E. J. W., in The State.

Threatens a Race War.

New York, April 26.-At the an
nual conference of the African
Methodist Episcopal church i'll
Jersey City today, Bishop Walters
spoke on the recent burning at the
stake of Sam Hose, colored, at
Palmetto, Ga. The bishop assorted
that the charge of assault which
was put forward in justification of
the treatment of Hose was unfound-
ed and would soon be shown to be
false. He warned the whites of
the North that if the Negroes of the
South were not given fair treatment
race war would be precipitated.
"The Cubans and Filipinos,"
Bishop Walters said, "for whom
we have spent so much money and
shed so much blood to free them
from Spanish oppression, were
never treated so barbarously iii
time of peace by that government
as some Negroes have been in the
States of Arkansas, Texas, North
Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia.
"Those who speak Aippantly of
our extermination," he said, "wlll
find when that work is begun that
all the white people of America
will not be against the Negro any
more than they were during the
civil war"
Bishop Walters announced that
the first Sunday in June will be
observed as a day of fasting and
prayer to Almighty God for aid III
this hour of distress.

The 9 C. & Ga. Railway Leased
by the Southern.

Charleston, April 29.-The lease
of the South Carolina and Georgia
to the Southern carries with 1t
absolute control of the Augusta
southern line, but the Ohio River
and Charleston, the other leased
line of the South Carolina and
Georgia road is not included in the
deal. Orders were at once issued
from the Washington and New
York officers of the Southern
system continuing existing officials
of the leased lines in service and
directing them to report to the
proper departments of the
Southern.
The deal is regarded here with
much favor by the business inter-
ests of. the city,.especiully as assur-
ances have already been received
that Charleston is to be made a
leading Southern railway terminal
point from this time on. Vice
President A. B. Andrews said
tonight that the South Carolina
and Georgia would be equipped
at once with steel rails ard the
most improved rolling stock.
Through passenger trains will be
put on between this city and the
Piedmont section of Carolina, and
e through freight service via
Asheville will be inaugu-ated
between this port and the Miss
issippi valley. All indications
point to- the fact that Charleston
is about to become the leading
South Atlantic port of the Southern
railway system.

DEATH OFCAPT. LYCURGUS
CHARLTON.

"He seemed the thing he was, ane
joined
Each office of the social hour
TO noble manners. as the flower
And native growth of noble mind,
And thus he bore without abuse
The grand old name of gentleman"
Died, at his home in this town,
on Saturday morning, the 18th ef
April, Capt. Lycurgus Charlton, IN
the I'D year of his age.
The demise of this honorable
and honored, and good and worthy
citizen, causes universal lament
throughout our town, and we al!
feel and deplore his loss, and will
long miss his friendly greeting,
kind words, wise counsel and gen:
tie admonition, for we all loved
him-white and black alike-and
held him in high regard. Truly,
he was one of natures noblemen,
and more, "aa honest man-the
noblest work of God"
Capt. Charlton was a native OF
Tennesse, and when the civil war
began between the States, he
promptly allied himself OIL the
side of the Confederacy, and with
a regiment from his State, vas as.
signed to the Western army, where
his gallantry was conspicuous and,
at the battle of Shiloh, whilst
leading his company, he received
wound in the left arm necessi-
teting amputation. But his ardor
for the cause and rights of the
South were as buoyant as ever,
and though he could not lenger
WELD the sword, yet he continued
in the service, and was transferred
to- South Carolina as recruitin g
officer. And whilst thus engaged.
he met the beautiful and accom-
plished Miss Lizzie Dozier, daugh-
ter of the wealthy and prominent
old Mr.. Allen Dozier, of the Saluda
section, and ere long they were
happily married; and happily
they have lived and loved from
thence on, and on, and on, until
now alas! stern cold death sepa-
rates them! A link in the golden
chain has been broken! But per-
haps only for t. little whilel And
then the reunion "on the other
side" will be joy eternal, and
love for evernore.
"We must all die!
All leave. ourselves, 1t matters not
where, when,
Nor how, so we die well; and can that
Man that does so
Need Iamentation for him?"

prospects for the near future, says
the Denver News. The growing
demand for power in the mines, it
is said, cannot be met by the COM
panies already operating and the
Woods Investment company of
Victor, will be in the field within
a few months with new concern,
the erection of which has already
begun. The new company will be
known as the Pixies Peak Power

The water supply will be furn-

CONTINUED PROSPERITY.

She prospects for an era of un-
precedented prosperity of which
she present year is the beginning.
1t has Just been determined that
unless some accident occurs, all
previous records will be broken by
the corn crop product of the
United States this year. Accord
ing to advices received from the
eight states which raise the bulk
of the corn, an estimate is war
ranted of two and half billion
bushels. And this increase of pro-
duction is not confined to corn
alone. All lines of breadstuffs
will make record this year in
their production. And then to
add to the general prosperity of
the country the crop in India and
Russia have failed, making GER
tain an enormous demand for
American breadstuffs for the com
ing year. Our exports will be i'm
mense. The demand will be even
greater than the supply, and when
there is an open market for the
farmer the nation prospers.
The Florence daily tribune., 1899-09-06

The action of the health and
street departments in taking ag-
gressive measures to insure clean
streets, alleys and back lots for
next week, is one to be commended.
There is no possible excuse for un-
cleanliness in this respect any
more than there is in the home
when visitors are expected. 1t
would show a most inhospitable
spirit if the visiting knights had
to be ushered into the midst of filth
and dirt. There should be no hes
itancy on the part, of anyone to
put their places in the best possible
condition. 1t is not an unreason-
able demand.

Effective Advertising" 1t is a
clincher: "a man who once tries
extensive advertising, guided by
good judgment, ever remains lib
eral advertiser. He finds it con-
stantly increases his business, re-
turning its cost many fold. Ev-
erybody understands that mer-
chants who advertise sell the most
goods, and can sell closer to cost
if they wish George d. Prentice,
whom all once delighted to read,
advised people never to buy of
those who did not advertise; they
sell SO little they have to sell dear"

Sugar-beet Crops In Small DANCE

Sugar-beet Crops In Small Danger
M. L. Allison of Grand Junction
says the report of damage to the
sugar beet crop of Mesa county is
greatly exaggerated. Experts Nit
chell and Cox, who are employed
by the beet sugar company to look
after the agricultural end of the
work, have given much attention
to the attack of worms on the grow
ing beets. They report about 200
acres near Paljsade very badly
damaged entailing loss of prob
ably $1,000 to the farmers. In
other parts the crop is damanged
very little. 1t is not the work of
the cutworm, but of common
caterpiller, which has been known
to exist in that section many years
but has never exhibited an affinity
for beet leaves before. just what
it will do now that it has acquired
the taste is of course, a matter for
speculation. Sugar beets have
been raised for years in Mesa, Delta
and Montrose counties, the crop
having hitherto been sent to Utah,
Denver Times.
