Mr.. Hemphill and Mr.. Henderson
both made clean, clear cut and able
speeches. There was no demonstra-
tion in favor of either, but both made
friends. Indeed, no one of the six
capable and justly prominent Caro-
linians in the Senatorial race can
speak without making friends.

Murphy & CO... stock Letter.

New York, July 1.-THE stock mar
ket started off with fair show of ac-
tiVity but total volume of business
was reduced by subsequent intervals of
extreme dullness. The favorable crop
report for a time gave quite a stimu-
lus to Changers shares, the leader be-
ing Rhode Island, but it's extreme adj
vance of nearly 9 points could not be
referred entirely to this influence. No
news, however, became public to ex-
plain the sensational advance. The
movement in fact. was a detriment to
the general speculation, inspiring as it

FLORIDA.

ST. Augustine Record: Grape culture
on the East Coast. which has been
confined principally to the cultivation
of the scuppernong, is beginning to
attract attention since the visit of an
expert vitrlculturist, sent here by the
government Bureau of Plant Industry,
Prof. Hussman has made careful
study of the soil, climate and other
conditions, and is of the opinion that
grapes will flourish in this section. The
government has already found certain
varieties of excellent table grapes
which seem particularly suited to East
Florida, and which can be matured
early enough to have absolutely no
competition from any other part OF
the country. The articles published
in the Record have been the means of
advertising this fact, and letters are
being received from experienced vine
dressers who are DESTROYS of going into
the business.

NEWS FROM KIRKLAND.

Kirkland, Ca. July 11.-Rev. T. P.
Oneal has returned from the revival
at Wildwood. He says it was one of
the greatst he ever attended, having
baptized twenty-four in the Baptist
Church and sixteen In the Methodist.
The Methodist Church at Pearson
was destroyed Monday night by fire.
No one seems to be suspected of the
deed. but it is supposed to be the same
parties that destroyed the colored Ma
sonic hall some two weeks previous.
While Mr.. w Lock Kirkland and
family were eating their Fourth of
July dinner his wife happened to dis
cover the roof of their kitchen ablaze.
Every effort was made to save the
dwelling. but without success. The
building was a complete loss, also the
greater portion of the household and
kitchen furniture. The loss was about
500. There was no insurance. Mr..
Kirkland is one of the best farmers
in Coffee county.
Sea island cotton is shedding badly.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, July 11.-Opening prices
this morning were at the highest level
of the day. There were striking adj
.vances afterwards, notably in Rock
Island and Missouri Pacific but these
proved eunavailing to sustain the gen
eral market, which sagged slowly, but
steadily throughout the rest of the
session. The majority of stocks closed
lower than last night and the declines
were substantial in such stocks as New
York Central, Chesapeake and Ohio
and Chicago and Northwestern, and
Others which have recently been prom
inent in the advance. The squirt at
the opening was due especially to the
encouragement felt on account of the
governments monthly crop report, es-
pecially in respect to corn, which had
stimulating effect on the demand for
grain carrying roads.
But it became plain at once that the
buying was conspicuous only in Mis-
souri, Pacific and Rock Island, which
stocks are peculiarly associated with
the bull leaders of the market. Atch-
lson and the other Pacifics did not
move more than a fraction at any time
The perspective of to-morrow's bank
statement was the counteracting inf1u-
ence to the crop report. The heavy
movement of currency to the interior
has been the subject of comment all
the week. The usual preliminary es-
