COTTON SEED MILL MEN PORN i CoM-
BTWR,

Rock HILL, s.. c., Nov. 5.-some
Of the cotton seed mills of North
and South Carolina have formed+a
combination whereby they viii be
able to control, or direct, the sale of
a greater part Of the seed in these
States. The plan seemed to be some
thing on the following line: The
territory is divided, and one buyer
for the several miles is placed in this
territory, and the mill nearest the
buyer has the refusal Of the seed.
1t is thus argued that freight will be
saved. Whereas a mill buying seed
some distance from its plant must
pay more freight than a mill near
the buying point, it is clear that it
will be economy to ship seed to the
nearest mill. However, this COBB
bination may seriously affect tie
price of seed.

OUT OF THEIR OWN MOUTHS.

The National Irrigation AssOcia-
ton is circulating a very interesting
map of the United States, to which
we take much pleasure in directing
attention. This precious body was
organized, itseems to cajole Congress
into ~irrigating, and then throwing
upon our already over-supplied mar
ket for agricultural land, about a
hundred millions of acres now arid,
to the enormous injury of every man
who now owns a farm, and therefore,
since agriculture is the basis of all
our American industries, to the
enormous injury of the people Of the
country, SAGE and except those WhO
are directly Interested in the "deUeI-
Opment' of the arid region. Well,
their map makes the meridian Of $50
the dividing line between Humid
America and arid America" and
gives the population east of that line
as So, 218, 600; west of it, 4,404, 900.
That is to say, according to their
own showing, considerably more
than five sixths of the owners
of the arid land-with indiVid-
ual exceptions, of course, about
in the proportion, probably, of the
proverbial drop in the bucket-are
directly interested in keeping it arid.
All the same, the one-sixth who live
around and about it and want to
develop" their new rigions, are
ceaselessly plotting to get it into
market, while the rest of Us pay the
expense.-Country Gentleman.

May Prosecute the scientists.

Topeka, Kan, May 20.-trhe Masonic
order OF Topeka, particularly the
knights Templar, are planning to pros
ecute local Christian Scientists, who,
they say. were responsible for the
death of Mrs. John NJ. Terrence. Mr..
Terrence was, up TO the time of his
death. eight months ago. chief clerk in
the Atchlson. Topeka and Santa Fe
car service here. He was leading
Mason. His wife died yesterday from
typhoid fever. She was Christian
Scientist and with the local healers re-
sisted the demands of her friends that
n physician be summoned.
Mrs. Whitlock of Chicago, mother of
Mrs. Terrence. was, it is asserted, re-
fused permission to see her daughter,
but finally entered the sick room. Mrs.
L. l.. Whitaker, the Scientist in charge,
said testifying at the cOroner's inquest,
that Mrs. Terrence was killed by the
shock of the surprise at seeing her
mother. and not by the lack Of medi-
cine. The coroners jury rendered the
following verdict:
Mrs. j. NJ. Terrence came to her
death by peritonitis tgeneraD, caused
by perforntion of the intestines, due to
typhoid fever. The case was under
Christian Scientist management and
had no medical care or treatment, and
in our opinion, she did not have intelli-
gent care which would give her any

PLAGUE AT SAN FRANCISCO.
Chinese Resist Attempts 70 InoeuI.ts
Them

San Francisco. May 19.-The board
of health has adopted resolution de-
claring that bubonic plague exists In
San Francisco. The health authorities
say that while there is no living cases
here, there have been six deaths during
the past three months. and they have
decided to take precautions against the
development and spread of the disease,
including incubation OF all Chinese.
When 1t became known In Chinatown
that the board of health had deter
mined TO inOculate the residents Of the
Chinese section, groups of Cinnamon
gathered on every corner and denounc-
ed the action OF the board as outrag-
eous. Some of the more wealthy Of the
indignant Chinese hurried their fami-
lies into hacks and other vehicles in the
attempt TO send them out of the dis
trict
Some succeeded in getting as far as
the city limits. where they were stop
ped by the police. Others attempted
10 leave the city on trains. Several
merchants endeavored to obtain pas
sage on the steamer America Maru,
which sailed for the Orient to-day, but
there was no room for them on the
steamer. The doctors detailed to inoc-
ulate the Chinese are having a very
hard time of it, every possible obstacle
being placed in their way by the Chi
nese
The consul general is cooperating
with the board of health as much as
possible. but several demonstrations
among the Chinese have caused him to
keep quiet In the matter. He has urged
his people repeatedly to submit to the
demands of the board. Yesterday a
small mob surrounded the consulate
and stoned the buildings. This action
resulted in detachment of police being
detailed 10 protect the consulate.
