Alderman 81. @. Mitchell, besides
raising staple crops on his model farm
two miles from the city, turned his at
tantion to the succulent onion this
year and with satisfactory results, as
the cash returns from recent shipments
north would indicate.
And a small area. will produce q
stack of fine onions.
Mr.. Mitchell has two acres plante
in the large white variety, many Of
them the size of saucers in diameter
and weighing from one to one and .
half pounds.
This variety will produce from 3O(
to 400 bushels per acre, Mr.. Mitchell
says, and as they bring So per bushel
net, in the Western cities where ship
ments have been made, it will be seer
that his two acres will pay him yery
handsomely.
Another shipment will go forward
today and this will continue while thu
crop lasts. It is, indeed, the littl,
things on the farm that pay.

STRIKERS STILL HOLDING FIRM
No Change in The Situation Here
Yesterday.

The strike inaugurated here two day s
ago by the machinists employed in the
Seaboard Railway shops, and in which
workmen in several other lines Joined
through sympathy, remained unchang-
ed yesterday. The strikers are still
hopeful of winning out.
A few of the apprentice boys here
returned to work yesterday, but the
ranks of the main body, the practical
machinists, remain unbroken.
The striking employees held a meet
ing yesterday at Magnolia Dell, al
which they discussed the situation al
considerable length. They express the
belief that the strikers or the entire
system will yet carry their point.
The following telegram was sent out
yesterday by Mr.. f. III. McGee, for
merly master mechanic at the Ameri
Gus shops but now superintendent o.
motive power for the entire systsm.
The telegram was sent from Ports
mouth to all master mechanics of thu
Seaboard Railway.
Demand was made upon us yester
day Afternoon by machinists for nine
hour day, 127 per cent increase il
wages and changes in shop regula
tions, Demand for nine-hour day
was declined. Wages paid by us ar,
already as high, and in some casel
/! higher than are commonly paid BY
other roads in our territory and so adj
mitted by committee. We stated W,
were willing to pay same wages anC
apply same conditions as were com
monty in effect on other roads in oul
territory and would meet existing con
ditions in this respect, whatever they
might be. Strike was afterwards or
dered by union without notice to us

Poor Crops, Potato Bugs and Politics al
Stateburg.

Stateburg, S. G. June S.-This Sec
tion of country is in the same fix in
regard to crops that all others appear
to be. Corn and cotton are. small,
and the latter in many places very
grassy. Even at Wedgefeld, where
crops are always well worked, a
great deal OF cotton has not been chop
ped yet. The hail played havoc with
watermelon vines, and bugs are trying
to destroy the potato vines. AL
together it has been the worst spring
I ever remember.
agree with what you say as to the
governor having deprived the people
of a splendid opportunity to hear ma
tional politics this year. All of US
need education along that line badly,
and I don't believe there would
have been any bitterness of feeling
about it except perhaps between Till
mon and McLaurin and their imme-
date followers. The governor very
likely acted for what he thought the
best interests of the State, but he
certainly played into the hands of
the politicians and let little curly
headed Johnny out of the tightest
place he ever got into. The last
named little gentleman will be more
careful how he bites off such big
''chaw'' again, and in the mean
time will go on representing demo
Gratis and acting republicanism. By
the by, what has the governor ever
done with the bill to kill the anti-free
pass bill9 If he doesn't veto it he'll
play into the hands OF politicians again
and will be sure to find that same lit
tie bill rise up against him in his
next race for Office Every one would
respect him more for signing it, than
TO try to dodge around his response
bility by letting it become law by
holding it, ". j. K.

Death of AIabama's Governor.

Montgomery, Ala, June 11.-Wm.
J. Sanford, governor of Alabama,
died tonight at Tuscaloosa, Ala,
where he has been i'll for some time.
Disease of the heart was the real
cause of death.
Gov. Sanford has been in Tuscaloosa
several weeks, having gone there to
attend meeting of the trustees of
the State university. He had been III
since before his Inauguration as gov
ernor, but it was believed that imme-
diate danger of death was past.
While in Tuscaloosa, however, his i'll
ness returned with renewed violence
and he became so dangerously sick
that the physicians feared to remove
him to Montgomery.
Yesterday Gov. Sanford was thought
to be improving, but grew worse to
day and succumbed tonight at 1910
O'Clock.

FIGHTING PESTS.

It has been customary to poke fun
at some of the more detailed labors
of the U. S. Department Of Agricul-
ture, and to question scornfully what
the mass of data collected can be
to the practical farmer. In Every
body's Magazine there is an article
by Dr.. L. %. Howard, of the bureau,
showing how the government scien-
fists have repeatedly saved the fruit
growers from utter ruin and have
made it possible to build up great ag-
ricultural industries. In Fighting
Pests With Insect Allies" it is told
how the entomologists killed of the
white scale which threatened ruin to
the orange growers of California by
importing lady-birds' from Austria
liza, how grasshoppers are DESTROYED by
fungus, how the Smyrna fig industry
of California has been created by the
Blastophaga. 1t makes narrative of
distinct interest and value.

OUR CHILDREN.

Mr.. Editor: Some one has said thai
the child is father to the man. As
understand it they meant the chile
was, if [ might SO speak, prophecy
of what the man would be. Is thl:
always true? 1t is related how a great
artist sought for a human subject tt
represent his ideal of an angel, anc
how after long search, he found it II
an Italian cradle, and that it was sc
we'll taken that it brought him fame
The story then goes on to state tha1
he then went out in search OF devl
incarnate, and after years of search
was rewarded in way that made
him more famous. It is related that
he then traced up the history of the
last, and it went back to the cradle
of the first subject. All of us will ad-
nit the possibility of such a thing.
remember to have heard number
of years ago, when the whole country
was shocked at the violence ano
murder of a man, how amlable ano
gentle he was when youth.
A certain preacher, we'll known IN
South Carolina, was so wicked when
boy that when he was converted
and began to preach certain people,
who had known his past, declared
they could have no faith in him. So
we believe that the child is not al
ways the father to the man. l wonder
what is the conviction of people about
this matter. Some years ago lady
in Florence County married, as we
sometime says, regular nobody.
After few years they went to Flor
ida, where she died, leaving an infant
girl, who was given to an aunt, a
woman of means and great plety.
The child enjoyed every advantage
socially, religiously, Intellectually
that heart could wish. The girl hard
ly reached her teens when she began
to run off at night to frolics on t he
plantation. Her conduct was dis
graceful. Before she was twenty she
Slipped away with regular yagaband,
and married. An uncle Of the writer,
pious local preacher took boy, a
mere babe, and reared him in his fam
lily, sending him to school and offer
ing such other advantages as were IN
his power. When the boy became
of age he turned out a renegade. An
other 1 knew under like pious care,
that turned out badly. a certain
community was infested with band
of thieves and robbers, and this boy,
brought up at the feet of one of the
saintliest women, was one of the
band. In certain county very
godly man, great spiritual power.
brought up beautiful daughter, we'll
ACCOMPLISHED. She married, lived
with her husband few years, and
forsook him. She was afterwards
found in a hovel, living with negro.
I suppose all of US could mention case
after case of such.
You sometimes hear preachers say,
and so the scientist, that children are
often predisposed this or that way by
birth. What do you think about
it9 Is there such thing as being
well born? Then that celebrated pas
sage: 1t is not in our stars but in
ourselves that we are underlings, !"
must be taken with some modification.

LOOKS LIKE TEDDY.

Spartanburg special to Charlotte OBJ
server, 9th inst.
Among the visitors here this week
was man who can pass for Theodore
Roosevelt anywhere. He is DR.. Mon
tague, president of Fuman University
of Greenville, S. c. He is on the pro
gramme at Converse College and there
were many remarks as to his likeness
to the vice president by those in the
audience who had never seen him be-
fore. He carries himself just as the
Rough Rider does, his voice is ''stren-
ous'' like the -Slayer's, his face
is remarkably like New York's former
governors, and if he just showed his
teeth little when he speaks it would
be almost impossible to tell the two
apart. He is a splendid speaker, and
believes in progress all along the lines.
