Of President Mckinley. The assassin
is not in a state Of collapse, as has

DR.. McAlester Talks About Cow Peas

DR.. A. w. McAlester, Of Columbia,
was in Paris Tuesday ON Professional
business and a Mercsrg reporter had
an interesting talk with him, says the
Mercury In addition to being dean
Of the State Medical School, DIR. Nc
Alester is one Of the best posted far
mers In the State, and as such is an
ardent advocate Of the COW pea. We
must find something to stand the
drouth, be says, and there is but one
objection to the COW pea, and that is
that it is not profitable when the
price of seed go beyond two dollars an
acre. Clay peas, the best, he says, dc
not mature early in this climate. Frost
kills them and it is seldom possible tC
get seed from crop. Clay peas, he
says, furnish the best forage and grow
from four to eight feet long, furnish
ing three and four loads to the acre.
The whippoorwill variety makes only
seed but the black variety makes
both the pea and forage. They make
the very best OF hay for growing stock
and If possible should always be plant
ed in May, the ground being first thor
oughly prepared. He hopes to see a
large acreage planted by Missouri far

The question as to whether a man

as good Christian as a man who op-
poses saloons all together when he
knows that whisky will be sold in a
score Of dives instead Of in three pub
lie places cannot be decided by any
newspaper controversy. This with
some other questions will be settled al
'he day Of Judgment. There are
thousands and thousands Of Chris
'lans who are opposed to whisky whC
laVOr high licensed saloons for reasons
which they think unanswerable. Nine
'enths Of Christian people while the!
oppose whiskey, prefer high licensed
puoliesalons to secretdlves. Some time

The declarations OF Winslow Warren
at a meeting Of members Of the Anti
Imperialist League in Boston point to
the dlsintegration Of that body. Mr..
Warren has been prominently identlfl-
ed with the league, but he says:
at makes little difference whether
we disapproyed of the war with Spain
or in the Philippines. 1t is done.
'There are no people in the Philip

whether we had better not drop the
name Of anti-imperialist and assume

from party feeling and place us In a

These assertions amount TO some

ROOSEVELT MAKES A BLUNDER
Entertainment Of Booker T. Washing
ton at Dinner at the White
House Creates Quite a
Sensation "A Grave
Mistake.

| WASHINGTON, Oct. II. = President
Rooseyelt's action in entertaining
Booker T. Washington, President Of
Tuskegee Institute, at dinner last
evening has caused comment among
Southerners here. There is but one
similar instance within recollection
when persons Of colored blood dined
at the White House. That was wher
Queen Lilioukolani visited this coun
try to resist the proposed annexation
Of the Hawaiian Islands aud was en-
tertained at dinner by President
Cleveland.
Dispatches from the South tonight
show that the Presidents new political
friends are generally talking of his
action.
Southern members Of Congress who
are here criticise the President, but
no one has been found who win per
NIT the use OF his name in connection
with these criticisms.
MEMPHIs, TENN, Oct. H. Under
the caption Of "a White Mans Count

ing the entertainment Of Booker
Washington at the White House, will
say tomorrow:
"This is a white mans country. II
viii continue to be such as long as
clean blood flows through the veins Of
white people. The negro is entitled
TO his right under the law, and the
men who stand for white supremacy
are the strongest advocates Of grant
Ing him these rights. But beyond
that they win not go. The example
OF President or potentate cannot
change their views. President Roose-
yelt has committed a blunder that is
worse than crime, and no atone
ment or future act Of his can remove
the self-imprinted stigma"
The Scimitdr this afternoon con-
tained a column loaded editorial un-
der head Of "a Gratuitous Outrage, "
which says:
"The most damnable outrage which
has ever been perpetrated by any citi-
zen of the United States was COM
