Van Wyck farmers are behind
with farm work, owing to the
continued wet weather. There
has been but few days suitable
for plowing. Labor is plentiful
hnt the cotton acreage Will he but
little increased if any. Our farm-
ers will continue to diversity their
crops, looking t. IN abundant
home supply regardless of the
advance in the price of cotton.
About the usual amount of com~
mercial fertilizers will be used.
Some grain fields arc looking well,
but as a general thing the grain
crop is very back ward and damaged
by the late freezes. However.
we have not heard of any Grain
fields being plowcd up for cotton.
Some of our farmers have been
trading some of their old stock
for new ones this spring, and can
boast of getting some fine mules
and horses. Some of them pride
themselves of having the best in
the county.
The iron gang on the & & & \

from Monroe laying heavy rails
in place of the lighter ones. The
work will be pushed until the
whole road will be laid with

A Day of Pleasure.


MICS, that your correspondent has
ever witnessed, was given at South
Carolina's famous wonder, the
Forty Acre Rock, on the 10th
inst, by the tlourishing and ever
progressive schools of Taxabaw,
Tabernacle, Bethlehem, Flat Creek
and Charlesboro, with many
friends and acquaintances from
different sections of this and
Chesterfield counties.
Your correspondent, on arriving
at the Grand Curiosity of natural
formation, found that a large
number Of young people had al
ready preceded him, all with pleas
ant and captivating manners,
which forctold to us that there
was a rare treat in store for all
that would participate in the de-
llghtful festivities of the occasion.
The people kept coming from ali
sections, until when we all as
sem bled for the bountiful repast,
at II O'Clock, there were between
one hundred and fifty and two
hundred people upon the surface
of that great rock.
In It short time after your cor
respondents arrival he had the
pleasure of joining party that
were going out to explore the
wonderful works that nature has
wrought in and around this ccle-
brated place, and best of all he
was successful in obtaining the
most charming company of one of
the fair sex, which was unboundcd
pleasure and some would have the
expression, "a sweet consolation
to his heart. -
We proceeded to explore all
the places of interest descending
and ascending many very steep
and difficult places, beholding the
beautiful and picturesque cascades
and waterfalls and still pursuing
our course we came to the greatest
OF the curipsities, The Devils
track, track imprinted IN solid
rock, that resembles j human
track in everything except its
great length, and the minds Of all
are be~ildered when they even
ry to conceive an idea Of how
these mysteries were created.
As the noon hour was near at
hand We hegan to retrace our
footsteps and at length came to
the place from which we set ont.
All being somewhat fatigued we
soon began to make preparations
to satisfy the sharp appetite, that
had been greatly stimulated by
oui journey. Dinner being spread
in usual picnic style, all partook
Of the hounteous supply, to the
great satisfaction of the inner man.
Dinner being over, the evening
was spent in varIous ways by the
plcnicers, some desiring a rest,
remaining, while others desiring
to know more of the wonderful
works of nature here exhibited,
proceeded to further explore it.
Your correspondent had the pleas
ure now Of visiting the wonder
ful cavern, known az the "Rock-
house, and also the Dungeon, "
neither of which has ever been
fully explored.
1t was made known to us that
our Mr.. Cas'on would make a
photo of the party and with great
difficulty, on account of the great
steepness of the rock that we had
to descend, we arrived at the
place selected and had our "Beau

 fl STRONG ONE.
Favor Making the Most of the Coun- try's Expanded Armament in Holding the Balance of Power in the Orient Can Dominate the Situation, Espect- ally With Strong Ally.

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
 Yokohama, Oct. 9.-The accession of Marquis Ito to power has been receiv- ed by the native press generally in a spirit of reorganization, especially in view of the rising feeling that Japan just now needs her strongest man at the helm, in order to enable her to as- sert her rights The influential papers are clamoring for a strong foreign pol icy. They favor making the most of Japans expanded armament in holding the balance of power in the Orient. It is felt that the Chinese difficulty has demonstrated that the western powers are essentially weak because they are not here and cannot get here in any, thing like powerful force. Japan being on the spot with her army of half a million and her powerful navy, can cas- fly dominate the situation, especially if any one of the strong western pow CTS will join hands with her.

After breakfast the par ty adjourned to MT. Bryan's room where the candidate received Congress- man Richardson and several local poli- ticians. MT. and Mrs. Bryan and Mrs. Bennett then left the hotel and walked through the park to the Madison Ave nue Presbyterian church. When MT. Bryan first appeared on the street there were few people about, but those who were there instantly recognized him, and with many a shout followed him to the door of the church
 Yale and Harvard boys, who came to New York with MT. Bryan on Sat urday, were also at church, and occu- pied seats short distance in front of MT. Bryan.
 pr. Parkhurst, the pastor, was not informed of MT. Bryan's presence, and his sermon was an exposition of a DOT tion of the scriptures. Word was evil dently passed through the concregation during the service that MT. Bryan was in the church for when the benediction was pronounced almost the entire con- gregation made a dash for the doors and filled the sidewalk and street in front of the building. He was followed to the hotel by a large crowd. and as he disappeared in the entrance cheer after cheer burst simultaneously from 2 000 threats.
