DR.. Thomas Reese was buried there
in 1776, for Dr.. Howe says the church
was not organized until 1889, and he
quotes from manuscript Of DR..

SO that he was alive nearly 20 years
later than 1776. Neither can 'sthe,,

his Huguenot settlement in Able
vile before, this and Upper Long
Cane had been organized before.
"The Old Stone Meeting House" is q
historical spot and we do not wish to
detract one iota from it's interest, for
our ancestors wore among its found
ers, as they were also of Carmel, and
their bodies rest in the old Stone
church cemetery, but we want to
keep the record straight. We are
inclined to doubt the tradition "that
the patriots met there for worship
during the first great struggle for
Independence" for our'life has been
spent in the bounds of Carmel and
the Stone church and we never heard
it before. Besides, white emigration,
traders and hunters, did not set in
this direction until aftor the close of
that struggle. The country was
wilderness during the Revolution
and was occupied by the Indians

A. w. GLEASON,

From the report of the national
department of agriculture for 1897
and 1898 we learn a point or two
about cotton production that the
farmers might take hint from if
they feel 80 disposed, especially in
view of the fact that the time will
soon be here to pitch another crop.
The first is that South Carolina is
the fifth State in cotton production,
showing 1,030,085 bales, which were
produced on 2,074,788 acres of land.
The average yield was half bale to
the acre. But the most important
point, and the one that contains the
most valuable lesson for us is, that
in 1889 we exported 4,760,633 bales
of 500 pounds from the entire cotton
belt for which TIC received $237,775,-
900, while in 1898 we exported
100000 bales for which we received
30,442,O00, or 100000 more bales
exported last year and 100000
lesa received upon it. That tells the
tale. 1t shows conolusively that we
could get as much money for 5,000,-
900 bale crop as for a 1O,000,000 bale
crop and would save the labor and
expense of making the other 5,000,-
900 bales. A word to the wise is
suificient.-Andcrson Advocate.

'It is Mr.. Hobson's general mis-
Fortune" says the San Francisco
Chronicle, "that he has not by this
time allied himself to a sensible
American girl and settled down as
far as a naval officer may in domestic
privacy. Then sappy women and
feeble minded dcbutantes would let
him alone, in public at least; and,
what is more to the purpose, he
would have an incentive, which his
self-respect and common sense do
not seem strong enough to supply,
to let them alone" Hobson's recent
kissing performances has stirred the
national heart as nothing else since
he sank the Merrimac at Santiago.
But the nation is laughing at the
hero, and his enemies arc knitting
him whenever they have chance.
The proposition to transfer him to
tHc line will be resisted by those who
are interested in not losing their own
chances of promotion. One of the
line officers is reported to have said
the other day that eve don't want
an ass for an Admiral i''-ifobson
would reach tho rank of vice-admiral
at 80 if he should be placed in the
linc-~and the navy officers would all
probably agree to the proposition.
Iobson ought to marry. A good
able-bodicd American girl would
control his kissing propensities, and
if he shouldn't have as much fun he
would at least. be more dignifed and
less likely to get into trouble.

A very sad accident occurred in
Mason Valley last Saturday fore
noon. Miller's thrashiug machine
had been at work in Henry Han
son 8 field, just outside OF the town
of Yerington, and about II o'clock
the boiler of the engine used to run
the thrasher blew up. The engin'
eer, VIM. Duncan, was almost
instantly killed by piece of iron
striking him in the head. The
fireman, Charley Odds, Was also
quite seriously injured about the
head and body, but not dangerous
ly. His version of the accident is
that the hands were about to clean
up and that the engineer thought
there was enough steam to finish.
He told Duncan there was very
little water and Duncan went
around the engine. A few moments
after the boiler exploded and Odds
knew no more until he regained
consciousness in Yerington. He is
of the opinion that cold water was
pumped into the boiler, which caus
ed the explosion, 1t is miracle
that more lives were not lost, as at
the time of the explosion number
of children were around the engine,
and two Piute boys, who were sit
ting on the water wagon. were
thrown ten feet in the air, but not
badly hurt. The engine was blown
about 35 feet from where it stood,
and large piece of boiler iron was
picked up 800 feet from point of ex-
plosion. Just such an accident
had been predicted, as the boiler
was an old one and the engineer
is said to have been an incompetent
man. The funeral of Mr.. Duncan
took place last Sunday. He was IA
stranger, and not known to have
any relatives in this section of the
country.

The Cattle THE yes.

Since the TINES published the
fact that some of Cordelli's cattle
had been found in slaughter house
corral in Carson, the other papers
of the State have dug up some other
facts in relation to the case. The
TINES was in error in stating that
the cattle were found in r. sser's
corral, but as our information came
from an Italian source, and as we
have as yet failed to master the
Italian language, We hope that error
will be overlooked. The deal made
by the thieves was with Mr.. Che die,
of Carson. The Carson Appeal
had a woman named Estes con-
nected with the thieves, but she has
explained that she had nothing to
do with Mr. Cordell's cattle in
manner that ought to be satisfactory
to all The parties who sold Ched-
ic the cattle are Bob Mckenzie and
"Mnff" Maher, and warrants are
out for their arrest in several coun-
ties, Up to date they have not
been arrested, but it is believed
they will be very shortly.
