comes out. 1 have also been asked by |
other editors to write on the subject, |
and in order not to repeat myself too
much, need the very information
which you have sent; moreover, by the
publication of your fine portrait, the
people of this country will become
acquainted with the man who has been
the providential instrument of making
so great change in the American
landscape, and elsewhere.
II believe I am right in thinking that
the system Of tenure is largely different
in the U. S. as compared with the pre-
vailing system here. Our farmers are
so rarely owners Of their land, our
villagers are housed in urban, rather
than in rural fashion, and though land
abounds for which the owners get but
poor return, none can be had at reason
possess fair-sized holding. You will
see by the slip enclosed how I am op-
posed in my endeavour to alter these
conditions in our own parish Perhaps
you can hardly credit what I say, but
you will understand how this initiates
against the love of locality or what
we call the idea of 'home.' So different
would it be if every labourer had hold
ing to attach him, in double sense,
to the land he lives in.
II must conclude by giving you an
extract from letter I had this morning
from young couple to whom sent
my Arbor Essay. They are ON their
own freehold, though in quite small
way.
"'Dear Mr.. Till: I am writing in
stead of Dudley (as I do most of the
letters, for he gets so little time) to
thank you for the book in which we are
very interested. Strange to say,
the day after we were married Dudley
had four walnuts ready for me to SOW,
to commemorate the day, and they are
all now about six inches high. The
walnuts were from tree at the back
of our house (almost as big as the house,
which itself was sown by the grand
mother of the former tenant. We also
have on the ground horse chestnut six
feet high, which was raised from seed
brought from the battlefield of Water
loo. Dudley moved it the first year he
was here. We have, little at a time,
been buying fruit trees to cover the
vacant ground

The rains were caused by a very de-

The weather began to clear here yester-
day afternoon. and by this morning.
doubtless the 'fair and cooler" prediction
by the Weather Bureau will prevail. To-
night the temperature will probably drop

SOUTH CAROLINA LEADS.
An Industrial Record Of Which the
Little State is Justly Proud.

Columbia Is. CD special
South Carolina some time ago took her
place as the second cotton manufacturing
State in the Union, and there are features
connected with this development that
give the subject especial interest.
In years prior to the Civil War South
Carolinians had very high opinion Of
themselves and their State. and a certain
set was doubtless considered boastful.
Now, however, the people of this State
are taking a very keen delight in their
manufacturing interests, q great pride in
the rapid strides that have been made.
and made very largely with home capital,
entirely with home energy and enterprise.
While South Carolina Is second only to
Massachusetts in the manufacture of cot
ton, she stands first in the innovations in
the application OF most modern methods.
As exempiifying progress In manufacture
ing, this little Southern State Is leading
the world,> and she was. as 1t were. an
infant in arms a dozen years ago. In
Columbia IL the first cotton mill to have
it's machinery driven by electricity: here,
too, is the largest mill under one roof
in the world. Again. when experts or
men contemplating building wish to see
the mill admitted to be the finest in mill
construction, the most modern in all APP
pointments. they come here. Mill men
from Massachusetts,, as well as from
Manchester. England. visit South Carroll

ton manufacturing.
The records Of the United States Agri-
cultural Department will show that the
greatest yield of corn ever grown on one
acre was in South Carolina, and that in
a contest open to the world. 1t Is. of
course, well known that Carolina rice
ranks first In every market and grocery
The famed Sea Island long staple cotton
of this coast is unequalled. and can be
likened only to silk. The finest grades
are sent to France, and only appear on
the market In the form Of silk. The
manner in which this silky cotton is
selected and grown >would make a story
by itself. 1t demonstrates that the South
Carolina planter can be infinitely pains
taking and industrious. To grow a cot
ton that sells for 81 pound when the
ordinary short staple fetches cents, he
must have a superior order Of intelligence

KOHN CASE ON TRIAL
LAWYERS PUT IN TIME ARGU-
ING DEMURRERs.
The City Court May Begin Taking
Testimony Today-Former Bank
oficial is Charged With
False Pretenses.

Preliminary steps were taken In the
criminal division Of the Montgomery City
Court yesterday afternoon in the case
against John P. Kohn, formerly an en-
ploye of the banking house of josiah
Morris & Co., charged with false pretense
in connection with the sale of county
bonds and the subsequent failure OF the
bank.
The court room was filled with specta-
tors and the bailiffs had trouble keeping
order
when the case was called and the at
torneys announced, the lawyer represent
ing Mr.. Kohn entered a motion to exact
of the State the cause why two lawyers
appeared in the prosecution in addition to
the two solicitors.
The representative of Mr.. Kohn stated,
and made oath to the statement, that
one of the lawyers appearing to assist
the solicitors had told him that he neither
represented County Treasurer John j..
Cochran nor the Board of Revenue, but
that he represented another party. Con-
seouently the representative of Mr.. Kohn
said he demanded to know the party in
order that the defendant could exercise
his constitutional right of being faced
by the accuser.
He may be juror or WithesS' Saiu
the defendants lawyer. I'm the first case
| would want to keep him off of the jury
and in the second case l would not want
to prejudice his testimony.
Special Solicitor w. w. Pearson said
that the two lawyers in question appear
ed with the consent of the State.
Judge w. H. Thomas overruled the
motion and an exception was reserved.
The defense then demurred to the in
dictment. II was claimed that the paper
was faulty in that it did not connect Mr..
Kohn with the subject matter of the In
dictment; that is, t did not set out that
he had the authority TO make the state
ments In regard to the sale of the bonds
that are alleged to be false.
The discussion of this demurrer occu-
pied the entire afternoon and when court
adjourned Judge Thomas had not an
nounced his decision.

900. In the last four years one-fourth of
the entire capital in South Carolina mills
has been invested. There are only thir-
teen counties in which there are no cot
ton mills. The agitation about child
labor that has been going on for two
years seems to have had no effect on mill
building. There Is no decrease. New
mills are going up and old ones are being
enlarged. 1t is likely that the legislature
that meets in January will dispose of the
labor question along lines that will be
satisfactory to the mills and the children,
as we'll as the humane public.
With all Of this, there IL a general pros
perity throughout South Carolina un-
known for many years. The people are
at peace with themselves. They have
ceased fighting over politics. The Frost
King has been kind, and permitted cotton
to mature in an unexpected manner. Ter
bales have been made where. in August
seven and a half were hoped for. Old
debts have been paid and November q

NAVAL ACADEMY BUILDINGS.
Secretary Moody Nay Ask for Addip

Washington. Nov. A.-The attention 81
Secretary Moody was directed today -
the fact that it would be impossible to
complete the buildings at the Naval AcA-
deny within the limit of cost liked BY
Congress owing to the very large M
crease in tho price of material.
When the new academy buildings were
planned Congress fixed the limit Of cost
at ZOO. 900 and Secretary Long apportion-
ed this sum among the buildings and Inn
provements. Since then II has been de-
cided to erect hospital and to do certain
dredge work in the Govern.

attention of Congress to the matter In
