Important Move by Russia
a proposal by The Government
An Information Conference to
Deal With Trusts.

London, July II. "Details of
an important move by Russia
which haze evidently been sup
pressed hitherto by the censor,
have transpirel in London. This
move is no less than proposal
by the imperial government for
an international conference to deal
with trusts.
Baron De Steal, Russia ambas-
sador IN London, about 10 days
ago presented to the British gov
ernment n note from Nj. De Wittc,
the Russian Minister of Finance,
which note was sent also to all the
powers that signed the Brussels
sugar convention proposing that
these powers should consider in
common, means to protect inter-
national commerce against the ar
titicial depression of prices, not
only by government measures,
such as export bounties or the
control of production, but also by
the much more dangerous pro
cesses adopted by trusts, private
undertakings or cartels, which
tend artiticially to influence the
international market. This cx-
plains the mysterious refernce
made in The Financial Mes
senger of st Petersburg,
early this week, to recent
note of Nj. DeWitte, which the
paper said, sis an application, in
the economic domain, of the prin
ciples of The Hague conference. "

A Sensible Suggestion by Mr..
Tillman.

MIR. EDITOR: Allow me space
in your paper to call the attention
of our farmers to an idea that /
think would he of great Interest to
them. My idea is this that our
people assemble at the court
house in the near future, would
say not later than the first Mon
day in August, and form ourselves
into what we term Il Farmers
Protective Association, for the
mutual protection of our farmers
against wind and hail storms.
This protection can he procured
at very low rate of insurance,
not more than one dollar for each
one horse farm in the county.
Now, Brother Farmers, where
is the one-horse farmer not willing
to pay one dollar on his farm for
the protection of his crop against
the hail storm! | believe an as
sociation 0f'thls kind put onits first
legs would not go lacking for
members. This protection thrown
around our crops and homes
would In a large measure relieve
our people of the uneasiness
they usually have when they see
threatening cloud approaching.

Picnic at The WarrentOn
Place
The Liberty Hill Rifles Entertain
Their Friends in Royal Style.
Congressional Candidates
Make Speeches.
Camden Messenger.


The annual picnic of the Llbcr-
ty Hill Rifles was held ON Friday
at the Warrenton place, across
the linc in Lancaster County,
about three miles from the Hill.
These gatherings have become
quite noted, and are very largely
attended by the good people for
miles around. There were some
five 'or six hundred present on
Friday. Likewise, the politlci-
ans, on election years particular
Iy take advantage of the oppor-
tunity, to shake hands and meet
and have heart. to- heart talks with
the voters.
Tho company is II splendid or.
ganization, composed of the flow
er of the manhood of the neigh
borhood, some from Lancaster,
but principally from Kershaw
County. There are about sixty
of them-tine soldiery fellows,
with Hon. John G. Richards as
commanding officer. Capt. Rich
ards is the model, type ola mill
tary man, and has to the "ullest
extent the respect, confidence and
active cooperation of his company.
lie is we'll known throughout the
county and State as an able re-
preventative in the Legislature,
and his services are assured for
two years more.
The other commissioned officers
are j. B. Cunningham, first lieuts
enant, and w. A. Cunningham,
second lieutenant, with j. b.
Cnreton rs orderly sergeant. The
company was organized about ten
years ago, and has always taken a
high stand among military com
fpanies of the State.
Generally entertaining speakers
are secured, and Senator Tillman
has attended several times. This
year the candidates for Congress
were invited to speak, and all
were present except Mr.. Finley.
Gen. Floyd was at home. He
discussed fully and in an inter
esting manner the Philip oino
question, the tariff, and ship-subsl>
! dy. He showed the overwhelming
/ preponderance of lawyers in Cong
ress, and dccried the practice of
sending there principally men of
that profession. He favored the
United States securing both of the
proposed isthmian canal routes,
even at a cost of $200,000,OO0
each, in order to avoid future
complications with foreign ma
tIons.
DR.. Strait was the next speaker.
He was also among his friends,
and is well and favorably known
among the audience. He denounc.
ed Mr.. Finley's coulse IN sup
porting the appropriation by Con-
gress for the "busted" Charleston
exposition, holding that it was
wrong In principle to vote away
the peoples money for such pur-
poses. He also dwelt upon the
Philippine matter, and gave an
intelligent and interesting review
of the situation. He repeated his
dcnunciation of McLaurin, as he
has frequently done before, and
noted the prediction that he had
made some time ago that Nc
Laurin would prove traitor and
finally land in the Republican
camp,
w. B. Wilson was the last to
address the audience. He believes
that the hand of God has been
