The news that cane ftom Charles.
ton last Friday that . syndicate of
northern capitalists has purchased
four thousand acres ui land near that
city for tie purpose of establishing
an extensive tea farm is good news
for the entire low country OF this
State. If this tea farm proves a
financial success many s'mlla farmsr
will be established and lands will
Increase in value. Tea can be
grown in all the middle and lower
counties of the State, and. perhaps, in
the course of time many of the
cotton fields OF Sumter county will
be converted into tea farms. For
years tea plants have been grown as
ornamental shrubs in the gardens OF
this city and they have survived,
unipjured, the eeverest bIizzards and
the mos, protracted drough's on
record. No experiments have been
made in tea culture in this State,
except at Summervilie, where Dr.
Shepherd has made complete
success, and it may be shown IN
time that this section of the State is
better adapted to tea culture than
the coas. region. At any rate we
should be glad to see an experimental
tea farm established in this county by
the United States Department of
Agriculture.

The wife Of q President bears no
small part Of the burden Of his great
Office. 1t Is much as it Is with a cler-
gyman's wife;Na church employs only
the minister, but 1t often demands
much Of his helpmate. 1t is in social
affairs that the wife Of President
principally appears. Mrs. Mckinley, on
has always been excused by common
consent from many duties which ordi-
narily fall upon the mistress Of the
White House. At the formal receptions
she has usually occupied chair in
the receiving line, and instead Of at
tempting to shake hands with those
who were presented to her, has merely
bowed pleasantly as they passed.
Countless appeals are made to the wife
of any President. Persons who seek to
secure some favor from him think how
powerful an ally in their efforts she
might be, without realizing how i'm
possible it would become to transact
public business in that way. For ex-
ample, women who desire for their
husbands appointed to Office, to save
the family from want, or for son a
cadetship at West Point. or the pardon
of nephew, often try to secure the
intercession of the Presidents wife.
These requests are usually made by
mail, but personal appeals are not un-
known. Moreover, the influence of the
Presidents wife in behalf of expert
mental charities, young musicians and
new books Is constantly sought. In its
bestowal the greatest discretion is nee
essary. The first lady of the land"
possesses great opportunities for the
display of tactfulness and diplomacy
in her attitude toward people on the
great occasions, and in those more Sc
lect groups summoned to the White
House. What she does not say is some
times quite as significant as what she
says. Many victory Of craftsmanship
Is won in the drawing room; and over
the most famous drawing room in the
land It is the privilege of the wife of
the President to preside.

AN UNHAPPY WOMAN.
SAD LIFE OF DoWAGER EMPRESS

Eldest Daughter of Queen Victoria and
Wife of Frederick ILL.,, Her Death
Will Be Little Mourned by Her Ger
man Subjects.

Daughter Of Queen and mother Of
an Emperor, brilliant beyond the meas
ure Of most brilliant women, and now
unhappy to the last degree, the En-
press Dowager of Germany lies near
death in the gloomy castle at Crons-
berg-on-the- Main. Half deserted by
] imperial son, bereft of her mother,
aud having the contumely of foreign
nation which never understood her,
this daughter of the throne Of Eng
land lies awaiting the end. Only her
iron will has stood off the destroyer for
so long. The world has wondered why
she should care to live. 1t has been
said even that she herself will have
no regrets when at last she lays down
her burdens. Her position is simply
that of one who sees the inevitable,
but who stands waiting for Fate to
turn the last card.
Alone in the cheerless rooms of the
great gloomy castle the Empress Dow
ager of Germany mourns her life away.
She reads little and at rare intervals
attempts to paint. Twice week her
youngest daughter, the Princess Of
Hesse, comes over from Frankfort to
spend an afternoon. AT. rare intervals
the German Emperor comes. He
alights from horse or carriage and,
leaving his attendants. strikes through
the broad courtyard, nodding here and
there to an old servant. When he has
had refreshments he goes for a few
moments to the room Of his sick moth
er. 1t is heartless visit His greet
ing and parting are perfunctory, and
when he has gone there is silence and
perhaps tears in the sick room.

toria, Victoria Adelaide Mary Louise,

liant, she received every advantage

mother could not break. But as the
child grew toward cultured womanhood
a strong affection sprang up between
the mother and daughter. and in later
years the princess took on the features
To-day her likeness might be mistaken
for an early picture of the lamented
Queen Victoria. At the age Of IL the
princess met the Crown Prince of Ger
mony, on the occasion of visit Of the
young Frederick to England in 1851.
A friendship sprang up between the
royal children which ripened into love
as the years went by. In 1858 they
were married in the chapel Of st.
James Palace, London.
Though the marriage was well re-
ceived in England, the Prussian king
dom was shaken to its foundations.
Bismarck, the Iron Chancellor, set his
face against 1t and in every way posi-
BILE he used his influence against "the
Englishwoman." as he called her. His

That the princess ever became queen
was due to her own indomitable will
and energy. While the old Emperor
Wilhelm lay dying the Crown Prince

The Congregational Church at Grin

do. by casting out George D. Heron
from its membership. If this act, says
the Chicago Journal would also be
the means Of casting him out from all
association with decent people and
make him a social pariah everywhere,
the punishment would then most ade-
quately fit his crime. One matter for
cOngratulatiOn there is, and that is for
Mrs. Heron. She has gained good
rlddance Of man utterly unworthy of
the bargain. Herron's letter to the
council that tried him Is the usual plea
of the man who, tired Of one woman
finds his affinity" in another. There
is not line in Herron's defensive let.
ter that would not be indorsed by Brig
ham Young were that veteran married
man and affinity seeker alive. Miss
Rand has for the present been seal
ed" but there is nothing in Herron's
avowed principles to present his seek
ing other "affinities' and of leaving
her whenever conscience-Herron'
conscience tells him that he is ''living
a lie" and had better make change.
Miss Rand would better hold on to the
purse strings and continue to be the
financial head Of the firm. Then some
day, when she tired of Heron, as she
will, she can look around for some 9TH
er clergyman's family to break up.

as to the origin Of the trouble. The sol

Most of the men had several hundred dol

man named Morgan Of the Forty-sxth
was found unconscious in the front Of
Mrs Powers saloon- Two company
mates took him to camp for treatment.
The doctor pronounced it s case where
drugs had been administered. The news
spread rapidly about the camp, and soon
there were a dozen or more men running
to Mrs Powers saloon They demanded
reparation for the dragging Of their COM
rade, but any knowledge Of the affair was
denied. Two or three ex-soldiers lOunging
about in the place sided with the woman
and ordered the soldiers from the prem-
ises, and a riot followed and the saloon
