COTTON CROP CENSUS.
An Expert Special Agent Has Been
Appointed TO Obtain Com
pIete Returns.

Washington, April 16.-There is
probably no single fact the knowl-
edge of which is more interesting and
important to the southern people
than the amount of the cotton crop.
The present methods of ascertaining
the magnitude of the cotton crop are
unsatisfactory. There is one method
of ascertaining the amount OF the
crop exactly, for there is one process
that of ginning-to which all cotton
Cor any commercial or industrial use
whatever must be subjected. If one
could obtain from all the cotton gins
of the country reports of the amount
Of staple they have turned cut, the
precise aggregate of the whole crop
would be known.
IT is proposed TO apply this process
in taking the twelfth census, the field
work of which is to begin on June /.
An expert special agent has been APP
pointed whose sole duty viii be TO OBJ
tain returns from all the ginning and
baling establishments in the cotton
growing region. No ginnery is too
small or insignificant TO be visited
and asked for a return.

Atlanta. Ca, April 1j.-Armed with
4 pardon from the governor for the

ed him the paper which meant free
dom to her son.
"The governors pardon is unneces-
sary," said the guard tenderiy. "Your
son died a few minutes ago. You come
too late with your pardon"
Mrs. McCabe, bowed with grief, re-
turned to the city and made arrange
ments for the burial of her son. The
boy had been sent to the convict

Paris, April 16.-Glorious weather
favored the opening of the exposition
TO the general public Sunday and i'm
mense crowds focIed into the
grounds. The area of the exhibition,
however, is so great that nowhere
was there any crush. The visitors
were mainly composed of prOvincials
and foreigners. Comparatively few
Parisians were to be seen. Aware of
the great backwardness of the prepa-
rations they remained away for the
most part.
The management demanded two en-
trance tickets for morning admission,
one for afternoon admission and two
during the evening, when the Eiffel
tower and the palaces on the Champ
de Mars were illuminated. But there
were absolutely no attractions pro-
vided, not even n band of music, and
the people promenaded in front of
the empty and in many cases unfin-
ished buildings and along roads where
only in the case of the main avenues
had the work of paving been com
pleted.
Visitors who left the central ar
teries found their pathway filled with
pitfalls and heaped with debris, some
| thOrOughfares resembling mere bride
paths. The crowd, however. was per-
fectly good natured and took the mat
ter philOsophically. Hardly a muir
muir was heard anywhere in the way
of criticism.
The moving sidewalk, access to
which cost 80 centimes, proved a great
success, and was damned throughout
the day.

manned closed. So also did most OF
the other paviliOns for the excellent
reason that their interiors are still
unfinished.

THE FAMOUS CLOCK.

A young lady of Chester, Miss
Bertha Stain, who is travelling
in Europe, refers in q letter to
the Reporter to the famous clock
at Strassburg IS follows:
Last night we arrived al
Strassburg, and have visited the
cathedral here, which contains
the most famous clock in the
world. The little chapel in the
cathedral is crowded every day
to see the clock strike twelve
When it strikes twelve the fig
ures of the twelve apostles move
around and bow before the fig.
ure of Christ and as Peter pass,
es by a large cock flaps his
wings and crows, a little angel
turns his hour glass, which
runs again for twenty-four hours
and many other interesting
things occur. This clock was
built in 1885 and has a calender
set for 9999 years. 1t marks
each year and even the days Of
the leap years are told with ex.
actness. 1t has the earth and
planets rotations around the
sun, and the changes of the
moon. 1t is said that the peo-
pie put out the eyes of the maker
of the clock, for fear he would
make another. And this is a
true tale.

Prohibition is Not Intended to
Prohibit.
From the report of Howard Patterson's cam
paign speech

From the report OF Howard Patterson's oam.
paign speech.
Col. Hoyt, the nominee Of the
Prohibition convention, in the
platform which he wrote and
which was adopted by the con-
vention last month, that Neil
Dow, the great Prohibition leader
of the State of Maine, said that
the people of Maine saved by
Prohibition over $24,000,00O a
year, and that at that time, after
they had had Prohibition for al.
most half century, they sold
clandestinely about $1,000,O00
Whereas, under the dispensary
law only $1,798, ,425.90 was sold
lawfully last year in South Caro-
lima. Think of it! A Prohibition
State for 40 years selling g$1, 900,
900 worth of liquor a year.
Therefore we have more Prohibi
ton in South Carolina, under the
dispensary law, than they have
in Maine, with law against the
sale of liquor.
The attorney generals report
shows that during the year 1898
there were over 1900 indict-
ments for the violation of the
law in Maine. If there were over
1900 indictments, how many
violations of the law were there
that never came to light?
Col. Hoyt says in effect: "Let
us all, all opponents of the dis
pensary, go together as far as we
can, and when we have gone far
enough to destroy the great whis-
key machine, which is the chief
impediment to Prohibition, then
let us agree,as we can,upon plan
which will give Prohibition a
major part of the territory wrest
ed from the common enemy"
Now what do you think OF
this, you who are Prohibitionists
from principle? Here is the can
didate of the Prohibition party
favoring a return to the saloon
system in some counties and Pro
hibition in others. What is it all
for? The man who does it sim ply
wants office. Columbia, Charles
ton, Greenville, and Spartanburg
may wish the license system, and
that would be a winning card tc
play.
