strange case OF Three Brothers.

Col. w. c. p. Breckenridge had
as his guest that dinner his two
brothers, Gen. Joseph c. Breckin-
ridge, Inspector General of the
United States army, andCol. Robert
]. Breckenridge, Attorney General
of Kentucky, says the Lexington
Leader. This gathering of three
such distinguished and brothers
is matter of note. Two wore the
the gray of the Confederacy, while
the other fought in the blue of the
Union army. In politics they rep
resent three distinct politicalfaiths,
Gen. Joseph being straight Re
publican, Col. Robert a Goebel
Democrat, and Col, William a free

URGED TO ORGANIZE.
Address Issued BY Bryan, Steven
son and others.

Chicago, Aug. l0.-An address
was issued, signed by Mr.. Bryan,
Mr. Stevenson, Chairman Jones and
w r. Hearst, urging Democrats
to organize in every city, town, viii
lage and precinct The address
is as follows.
ITO the Democrats of the United
States'-The Democratic party and
its friends must meet the forces of
corruption and intimidation in pol
itics this year by thorough organi-
cation. A Democratic club or soci-
ETY. should be organized in every
city town, village and precinct in
the United States. Democrats, and
all who are in sympathy with the
principles set forth in the Kansas
City platform are earnestly urged
to join Democratic clubs, or when
none exists to assist in organizing
them. This work of uniting the
forces Of law and liberty into one
great systemized civil army should
be carried on simultaneously in
every part Of the country and with
out delay. The friends of govern
ment according to the hitherto un-
challenged American theory of pol
itical equality everywhere under
our flag, can not afford to be less
Jealous or less active than the ad
vocates of an American colonial
empire supported byt rifles. No
patriotic citizen can ignore the at
tacks which are being made upon
the very foundation of our present
irreproachable form of government.
This year every citizen should be
a politician. Clubs and societies
should at once communicate with
the secretary of the National Asso-
citation of Democratic Clubs, 1870
Broadway, New York city, so that
the united membership may work
Systematically in defense of the re-
public as the fathers made it. All
Democratic committees, State and
local, are requested to aid the
National Association of Democratic
Clubs in this work.

PEACE AND HARMONY ABOUND.

A few years ago we read and
heard great deal about "peace
and harmony, but there was
an exhibition OF genuine peace
and harmony and general good
feeling all around in the State
convention Wednesday when
Ex-Governor John C. Sheppard
arose and presented in behalf
of the Edgefeld delegation the
name of Senator B. R. Tillman
as a delegate-at-large. 1t was
a case in which extremes meet,
Ex-Gov. Sheppard having been
aforetime the exponent Of the
anti-Tillman faction. A del
egrate from Charleston (the
place of all others in which
Tillman was most despised and
more "cussed") was the first to
second his nomination. Truly
things have changed and all are
to be congratulated upon the
good feeling that now prevails
in the ranks of the Democracy
of this State.

Worlds Wheat Production.
and Financial World.

Commercial anc Financial World
The department of agriculture
has issued a statement showing
the wheat crop of the world for
the five years, 1895 to 1899.
This statement includes the de-
partment's first estimate of the
crop of 1899 and a revision of
estimates of the four preceding
years. Official crop reports of
the countries enumerated have
been utilized when obtainable,
In a few instances, where official
data were issued or had not been
received, estimates have been
based upon the information which
seemed most trustworthy.
Commercial interest in this
statement naturally centers in
the crop of which portion still
remains in the hands Of producers
and dealers-that of 1899. The
sufficiency of this to supply all
demands during the present crop
year seems incontestable. The
aggregate worlds production in
1899 amounted to 1926 100000
bushels, a decrease, it is true, Of
1875, ,63S,000 bushels, or a little
less than 7 per cent. from the
crop of 1898; but, compared with
the average of the four preceding
years-1S95 to 1854 compar-
ison which previously is more
satisfactory-the 1899 production
shows an increase of nearly g.
per cent.-161, 1888, 900 bushels.
The increase from year to year
in the amount consumed, fact
universally conceded, is believed
to have enlarged the capacity of
the markets, so that last years
crop may prove no more than
sufficient for consumption and
necessary reserves.
The variation in the quantity
of wheat produced on each cont
nent in 1899 from that harvested
on the same continents in 1899,
was as follows:
North America, decrease, 1856
039,O00 bushels a; Europe, de
crease, S0,154,0OO bushels; Asia,
decrease, 35,575,OOO bushels /;
Africa, decrease, 10,S30,00O
bushels South America, increase.
45,72S.000 bushels Australia.
increase, 21,232.0OO bushels :;
world, decrease in 1899, 1885,
63S 900.
The percentages of the crop OF
1899 furnished by each of the
great divisions was North
America, % SO per cent Eu,
rope, 90 G2 per cent. ; Asia, IA 66
per cent. Africa, 1872 per cent {;
South America, 4.12 per cent !;
Australia, 206 per cent.
Europe not only produces more
than half the worlds crop, but
consumes almost the entire
worlds surplus North America,
on the other hand, raises between
one fourth and one fifth of the
worlds crop, and is the worlds
great surplus exporter. Between
these two great wheat producing
regions is transacted the bulk of
the intercOntinental wheat trade
of the world.

Death of w. b. Sapps.

Mr.. w. B, Sapps died last Wed
nesday night, May 16, at the
home of his father-in law, w. j..
Long, of Lancaster, after short
illness. He had been, since last
October, working at railroad
grading near Camden and also at
Rem bert, S. 9. He came home
a few days ago on a visit to his
family and to secure some hands
to work on the railroad. He
complained Of a headache which
he said he had had for about two
weeks before he came home, and
also complained of kidney trouble,
but this was his first time to
have the headache. When night
came on he retired early, but got
no rest during the night his head
aching him so. The following
ing morning DIR. Strait was sum
moned and found him suffering
from a severe bilious attack, and
gave him a dose of calomel
Shortly after that he became al
most distracted from the pain in
his head and following that his
his head was killing him. In a
few minutes he lay down and
seemed to get easy, doing off
into sleep, and could not be
aroused any more except during
the first hour to answer the in
qulries by his wife as to how he
felt. About four O'Clock in the
afternoon he had something like
a spasm and Doctors Poovy and
Strait were summoned. On ar
irving they found him in deep
stupor, breathing heavily. They
done what they could but failed
to revive him. He fingered until
about $50 o'clock when life be
came extinct.
Thurday morning Magistrate
Caskey, owing to the illness of
coroner Young, summond a jury
and held an inquest over the
body. a verdict was returned
in accordance with the opinion of
the physicians, that he came to
his death from an overdose of
morphine or other Opiate. If such
was the cause of death, it is un-
accountable as to how he obtained
1t. for it was not administered by
the physicians or any member Of
the family.
MIR. Sapps was about 81
years Of age. He married the
eldest daughter of w. j. Long,
of this place, and to this
union three boys were born,
all quite young, who with
their mother, are left to mourn
the loss of father and hus band.
MIR. Sapps was man Of good
Judgment, was a hard working
man, a good farmer, and had
many friends who will regret to
learn of his unexpected death.
lie was buried at Camp Creek
Baptist church on Thursday, the
18th, in the presence of a number
OF friends and relatives. A short
but impressive funeral service
was conducted by Rev. NJ. j.
