SouSa Marches Go Cheap.

The first piece | ever published |
paid for said Mr. Sousa. 1T cost me SO,
and that S25 was great deal of money to
me, an awful lot. OF course the piece
did not sell. Some friends of mine with
a great big COB 0f kindness i'm their hearts
bought copies. | think about 81 worth
But the rest of the world, though it was
hunting new tunes, paid 10 attention to
the publication of my piece. 1t had not
found me yet, and the fact that was
disappointed in the sale OF my music did
not diSarrangc its machinery in the least.
The next time thought would try Phila-
dclphia. wcntnp to the publishing house
of Lee 4 Walker and showed my two
compositions To the editor, with whom |
struck up friendship that has lasted
ever since that day, and that was in 1872,
when was Is years old. He played over
my p.>ccs and they sounded beautiful
lie was good pianist, and never have
been. lie made some kind of Il cabalis-
tic mark on them; | suppose it meant O.
X, and sent me down to sec Mr.. Lee.
MIR. Lee liked the pieces, but | was a
young man,an absolutely unknown young
man and all that-you know what they
all say. Still the pieces were very nice
they would publish them. giving me-
held my breath-giving me one hundred
| copies of each piece. My railroad fare
from Washington to Philadelphia and re.
turn and my hotel bill amounted to about
SO, and for that | was to get one hun.
dred copies of each of my two pieces
which would cost the publisher perhaps
81 thought that was pretty hard; but
would be printed of right away. It
wasn't. After about 4 dozen letters from
me during period Of six or seven months
finally got word that they might get tn,
piece out the following quarter
"'Now that You have made Il hit, don't
those pieces scll?'
"Mr. Sousa shook his head and pressed
his lips together. ''rhc world does not
turn hack and look for what it has once
passed by. 1t wants something new
After awhile sold my compositions
for what could get, anything from 81 NJ
to SO. The "Washington Post March
and the "IIigh School Cadet March"
sold for SO each. They made IN indie
pendent fortune for the publisher, Cole
man, Of Philadelphia
".And all you got out of them was So?
"Mr. Sousa nodded. He did not seem
it was kind of a joke on him, OF course
but good joke for all that. Probably
he believes that there are more marches
just as good whore they came from. Pro
bably he has got over gricvng about it in
the last ten years"

ADMIRAL KEMPFF.
Tho Man Whose Namo Figures In tho China
Dispatches.

Rear Admiral Louie Kcmpff is
prominently before the public now.
The State Department and the Navy
Department agree that he has dis
tinguished himself in his handling Of
affairs. The naval forces of the
United States in the Chinese diff
cultics are in charge of the Rear
Admiral. lie has been advanced
from one position to another because
Of the excellence of his service in
the navy. lie was born in Illinois,
and was appointed to the naval
academy from that State in 1867.
lie was with the steam frigate
Wabash i'll 1861, assisting in the
blockade of the South Atlantic. lie
was in much important naval fight
ing of the civil war, and was pro-
noted for bravery in action. For
three years, 1877 to 1880, he was in
charge of the navy yard at Mare
Island. lie then took charge of the
Adams for three years. He was
selected by Secretary Long to have
charge of the naval station at Guam,
but he is now doing in China the
most important and satisfactory
work of his life.

Noise on Hoyt.

In a business letter to the Green
vile Mountainccr Gen. f.. w. Noise,
of Sumter, says
shall vote for Mr.. lIoyt for Gov
crnor and use all the influence can
bring to bear to cause others to do
the same. My reasons are
lst. Mr.. lIoyt has been well known
to me for 3S years. lie was on the
Executive Committee in 1876 and
did his whole duty.
I'd. lie was a good soldier and
bears marks Of his sacrifices for his
State and country.
3D.. lie is a man of high moral
tone and of unblcmishcd character,
one who will give dignity to the Gu
bernatorial chair.
lth. lie is opposed to the dispcn-
sary, which deem the pregnant
cause of the troubles we arc having
with the negroes.
5th. 1t is due to the people OF the
State to elect Col. IIoyt, because
they voted for prohibition before
and were dcfraudcd out of their
right to have the scheme of prohibi-
ton tried by the substitution of the
dispcnsary law for the bill which the
people had demanded and which was
then on its passage.
9th. Because, although prohibition
may not prohibit, as, in fact, be.
licvc it will not, yet it will make the
getting Of liquor by the negroes
much more difficult. There may be
places where liquor can be bought
under prohibition, but the best pco
pie will sustain the law until its fail
urc is shown and the prohibitionists
will have had their opportunity ant
will be satisfied.
7th. Because | regard the dispcn.
sary law as tyrannical and an at
tempt to make the dealing in liquor
in retail quantities, respectable b,
engaging the State in it.
Respectfully,

KILLED HIS FATHER.
A Nineteen Year Old Negro Boy Shoots His
Father In Self Defense.

Another homicide in this county,
but this time the killing appears to
have been in self defense. Lewis
Watts, colore6, was shot and killed
above here Thursday evening about
night. 1t at appears that Lewis
was accustomed to whipping the
household occasionally, wife and
children, large and small, and that
evening he made start on his wife,
having whipped her numerically
and threatened to kill her, but she
got loose and ran off and was met, as
she went away from tho house, by
her children who had been fishing
and who took her back to the house.
Lewis started for Johnson, his oldest
son, with a razor in one hand and a
rope in the other Che used the rope TO
his wife.) Johnson backed toward
the door, but the old man got good
"swipc" or two with his razor, plant
ing an ugly cash in the boys arm.
After that bout was over it was tho
boys turn to get in some work. lie
had a pistol in his pocket.
lIo promptly drew the pistol
and fired the fatal shot, the
ball taking effect in the back just
above the right shoulder and going
entirely through the body in near
range of the heart. The father ran
out into the yard a few steps and
fell on his face where he lay till yes
terday morning when the coroncr's
jury moved him, with razor in one
hand and rope in the other. Dep
uty Sheriff Wilson went up and
brought the boy down yesterday
morning and lodged him in Jail. lie
made no attempt whatever to escape,
feeling, we suppose, that his course,
sad and awful as it was, was iustifia-
bic in the eyes Of the law.-Lancas-

NEGROES AND MILLS.
The Charleston Darkey Does Not Suit for
Cotton Mill Work.

There arc probably $4,000 negroes
III Charleston; nevertheless, the cot
ton mill III that city, which is being
operated with negro labor, finds it
extremely difficult to secure the
hundred or so hands that it needs.
OF the colored population, probably
one in every three may be called an
idlcr, while only one of the other
two works steadily the year round.
All that the mill requires is that the
employee shall take an interest in
the work and put in full time, but it
seems that the Charleston darkcy
cannot, or will not, comply with
these simple and reasonable condi-

Intensive VS.. Extensive Farming.

The successful farmer of the flu
turc must farm fewer acres and grow
more per acre. Rotation of crops
and diversified farming and stock
raising are the plans to be adopted
for laying the best foundation for
success Of the future farmer, and, as
it costs no more to raise a well bred
animal than it does scrub, better
sell off the inferior stock, and in the
future none but the very best to con-
sumo the crops raised. Fewer ami
mails in number and better ones to
consume the grain and grass raised
on fewer acres is the road to success
in these days Of small margins and
sharp competition. The writer has
observed one great mistake made by
many farmers. They undertake to
do too much, SO that they have not
time to give growing crops proper
attention at the right time.
Better drop off one or two things
in which there is the least profit, and
put more time on other crops that
pay better. The successful farmer
of the future will find that he can
not afford to undertake more than
he can do well. have had expert
cnce enough to know that in farm
ing many things must be done at
the right time to secure good and
profitable crop. If we would have
our potato patch and growing corn
do their best, the ground should be
stirred az soon as dry enough after
every rain tha. falls, forming a crust
on the surface. Every ton of clover
hay that man sells off his farm,
robs it Of about $500 worth of fer.
tl!ity; every ton of timothy hay
that he hauls away robs it Of about
S5.1S, and every ton Of wheat S7.75
Hence it is evident to every man
that if we grow clover and timothy
Tor the market it is only a question
Of time when the best of farms vii
become unproductivc. We must
practice more intensive farming and
less extensive if we make farming
pay in the future. We must plan
fewer acres and raise more to th,
acre. Wheat at so cents per bushc
and twelve to fifteen bushels to tn,
acre does not pay expenses. But i
we can so farm az to raise 80 or 81
bushels per acre then there would be
some profit in raising so cents wheat
But the American farmer canno
quit growing wheat if there be littl
or no profit in it, from the fact tha
we must rotate our crops in order tt
keep up the fertility of the soiI.-M

Chairman Richardson, address.

1T was very proper that Hon. j
ID. Richardson, Of Tennessee, should
be chosen permanent chairman of
the Democratic National Conven.
ton.
He is the lead.c of the Demo.
cratic party in the House of Repre-
scntatives; man of admitted abil.
ity and a skilled politician. Having
had such long experience in ma.
tional legislation, having demon
strated so well his capacity as a
leader and possessing such full
knowledge Of the issues upon which
the campaign now opening will be
fought, he is admirably qualified to
preside over the deliberations of the
great council of the Democratic
party.
Mr.. Richardson wastes no words
either by way of introduction or
conclusion. He comes directly to
business and quits when he has de-
livercd his message.
lie declares that whereas the para
mount issue of the Presidential con-
test Of 1896 was 1G to I, (rcfcrring
to silver coinagc), there is now pre-
scntcd another issue of 1G to 1, which
is still more important.
The Democratic party, according
to Chairman Richardson, should
press sixteen issues in their appeal
to the country this year. lie states
each of these issues very briefly and
yet with clcarncss and force.
They are catcgorically as follows :
|. Imperialism.
>. The Trusts.
;. The Protective Tariff.
4. Bimctalism.
$. The Monroe Doctrine.
6. The Nicaragua Canal.
7. Abuse of Civil Service.
s. Statehood for Territories.
Q. The Porto Rican Tariff.
10. The Philippines.
II. Pet Banks.
-. War Department Scandals.
l3. Cuban Postotlcc Robbcrics.
IT. Entangling Alliances.
IS. War Taxes.
l6. Monstrous Extravaganza of the
Present Administration.
MIR. Richardson outlines these as
the sixteen issues which are to be-,
or should be pressed by the Demo
cracy in the coming campaign. He
says they constitute sixteen parts Of
the proper campaign. The one
other nccdful part, he says, is the
assurance TO the country that the
party means what it declares, and
will be true to its professions and
sufficient guaranty of sincerity can
be given by the nomination of w.
j. Bryan for President. The speech
OF Chairman Richardson was pointed
and forccful.
1t presents the issues which will
form the contention between the
two great parties and is a very i'm
portant dclivcrancc
1t will be observed that the adj
dress contains no specific endorse
mcnt Of the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of lG to I, not even an
alluSion to it, which is a re narkable
omission in view Of the insistancc Of
Mr.. Bryan, the certain nominee of
the Convention, that this policy shall
be clearly and cmphatically pro-
claimed.
Chairman Richardson may there
fore be taken as an exponent of the
conservative element Of the Conven-
ton on the silver qucstion-it can
hardly be ca d an issue at this
timc.--Atlanta Journal, July $.

Every inch Of space on the platforms
