ADDRESS LOUDLY APPLAUDED
the LABOR PROBLEMS.

Peru, ILL.,, May Bishop Spald-
ing, who was member of the an
thracite miners strike commission,
in lecture on labor problems at the
coliseum last night spoke in part as
follows:
Claws are not made for the great
corporations. What a gain for the
entire world if all dehumanized men
should get out. We have means
enough, we can do without capitalists
who come among US and live on the
blood of human beings. The cause Of
labor, if rightly understood, is the
cause of humanity. What labor de-
sires first of all is not charity, but
justice. We Americans are using up
too rapidly the resources of nature
and we are using up too rapidly hu-
man lives. One of the greatest
fallacies of the age is that money is
equivalent to human lives.
ssThe spirit of commercialism is
sinking deeper and deeper into us.
Whatever a man sets his heart on
must increase or it ceases to satisfy
him. What we need in America is a
realization of spiritual ideas and the
realization that the best things in life
are not procured by money. Wages
are never the full equivalent for hu-
man work. There is quality in ali
men which goes far beyond the ques-
ton of wages. One of the great curses
of the modern world is the vast con-
glomeration of people in huge cities.
The idea of civilization is country of
cities from 10000 to $4,000 inhabi-
tants. If it were not for great cities
we could do away with the evils
ticians. There is nothing which can
give Us relief from those conditions
with the exception of trades union
isms The history of trades unionism
is largely the history of benefcence.
The strike is the open weapon Of or
ganized labor, but it is as dangerous
to labor as it is to capital" I"

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.

Florence. May 4.-This afternoon
about half-past 4 o'clock Mr. S. E..
Brunson, who farms few miles from
the city, was struck by lightning,
which will very probably provo fatal.
A heavy hail storm was raging and Mr..
Brunson went in the back porch of his
house and was surveying the damage
of the hail when the bolt struck him.
Indications or his body show that the
bolt entered his breast and came out
at his heel. He has been unconscious
since the stroke, and at this time it
is not known whether he will recover
or not Several physicians went to
the scene, but have not returned yet.
There is no telephone sconnection and
at this writing his immediate condl-
tion is not known.
Later.-At s O'Clock tonight the
condition of Mr. Brunson was dis
couraging and there is little hopa Of
his recovery
1t is feared that the damage done
by the heavy haiistorm will amount
to thousands of dollars A few
miles north of the city for more than
half an hour it hailed stones as large
as walnuts, doing much damage to al
growing crops. So terrific was the
hail that in several houses the win
dows were smashed to pieces.
The hail east of the city was also
very heavy while in the city it was
small and lasted only a short while.

Value Of a Trade.

Bill Arp says that the closest obser-
vers are the worlds benefactors. He
says, I believe in school where the
boys can learn trades. Peter the Great
left his throne and went to learn how
to build ship, and he learned from
stem to stern, from hull to mast, and
that was the beginning of his great
ness. How many college boys are
there in the United States who can
tell what kind of native timber will
bear the heaviest burdens, or why you
take white oak for one part of the
wagon and ash for another, or what
timber will last longer under water,
or what out of water?
How many know sandstone from
limestone, or iron from manganese?
How many know how to cut mitre
or brace without pattern9
How many know which runs the
fastest, the top of the wheel or the
bottom, as the wagon moves along the
ground9
How many know how steel is made,
and how a snake can climb tree?
How many bEow that a horse gets
up before and the COW behind, and
that the COW eats grass from her and
the horse to hiEa?
How many know that surveyors
mark on tree never gets any higher
from the ground, or what tree bears
fruit without bloom9
There is a power of comfort in
knowledge, but a boy is not going to
get it unless he wants it bad, and
that is the trouble with most college
boys-they don't want it. They are
too busy, and haven't got time. There
is more hope OF dull boy who wants
genius generally knows it all without
study

Large Scale Farming.

Reidsville, N. c., April 24.-Mr. j.
2. Turner, who formerly lived in
Reidsville, where he represented the
Virginia Life Insurance Company, is
now engaged in farming on an immense
scale in South Carolina. MIR. Turner
has interested several capitalists of
the Palmetto State in his enterprise,
and fifteen hundred acres Of fine land
is now being cultivated in tobacco
near Orangeburg. It is the most
gigantic enterprise OF the kind known
of, and is along the line said to have
been outlined by the American Tobacco
Company some time ago. Mr.. Turner,
realizing the peculiar advantages of
the soil around Orangeburg for the
cultivation of tobacco, employed a
hundred or more farmers to make ito
bacco on. their lands fer him andhis
concern under their direction, pay
ing them so much for their teams,
their lands and their services. He then
employed fifteen expert tobacco raisers
from the famous tobacco belt of Vir-
ginia and North Carolina to Superin-
tend the work
Mr.. W. J. Courts, who was in Reds
Vile this week, is employed as one of
the superintendents, and says that
fully one hundred and fifty acres will
be planted this season, a great deal of
it having already been set. He says
that the superintendent of these
farms are furnished with about a
hundred acres to watch over, and the
necessary horses and buggies which
they use are owned by Mr.. Turner'S
company These, he says, are re-
CURED to travel approximately twenty
miles each day to see that the land is
properly cultivated and that tie tenants
and hands are carrying out the work
according to instruction. Mr.. Turner,
has local capitalists interested with
him, and last year bought up great
quantities of tobacco on the hill for s.
per hundred, and realized about $50
for it on all verage.-Richmond

RUSSIA IN china.
hIanshurian Negotiations Take Fay-
orahIe Turn.
RUSSIA MERELY made INQUIRIES.
The Views Expressed in the
American and Chinese Capitals.

Washington, May 4.-The Chinese
minister called upon Secretary Hay
today at the state department. and dis
cussed the Manchurian situation with
him. There is good reason to believe
that the negotiations have taken a
more favorable turn and that the Rus
sian coup which was expected has been
either abandoned or indefinitely post
poned. It is understood that this
involves no retreat on the part Of the
Russian government from any position
officially taken. Certain inquiries
were addressed by Mr.. Plancon, the
Russian charge at Pekin, to the
Chinese government respecting the
Chinese purpose as to Manchuria. The
Russians hold that these were erTone-
ously taken to be a set of demands. As
a matter of fact they were nothing but
inquiries and, the Chinese answers be-
ing taken as satisfactory, the Russian
government has decided to carry out
its original programme for the evacua-
ton of Manchuria.
FROM THE OTHER SIDE.
Pekin, May minister Conger,
Mr. Townley, the British charge
de'afaires, and M. Uchida, the
japanese minister, have had several
interviews recently with Grand Secre-
tary Ching on the subject of the Rus
sian Manchurian negotiations. Prince
Ching at first was reserved, but he
subsequently discussed the question
with greater freedom. The document
embodying the Russian demands IS
lengthy and certain portions of it are
vague though it's effect does not differ
from the synopsis as cabled
The Russian ambassadors assurances
to Foreign Secretary Lansdowne that
the negotiations concerned Manchuria
alone are confuted by the text which
stipulates that the administration Of
Mongolia is to main.unchanged and
vaguely that Russian interests are
paramount in north China and that
only Russians should be employed
there.
The clause particularly distasteful to
the representatives Of the interested
powers is the prohibition against grant
ing concessions or leases of land in
the valley of the Liau river to other
powers, which, it is asserted, Russia
would take extreme measures to pre-
vent.

TRAGIC Emo OF EXCURSION.
Railroad Horror at Detroit Street
Crossing---Fifteea Poles Killed
and Thirty Badly Wounded.

Detroit, Mich, May 3.-The Grand
Trunk American Flyer from Chi
cago ran into crowd of people at the
corner of Dequinder and Garfield
streets at $40 O'Clock this evening,
killing 10 to Is men and seriously in
juring about 80 more. The majority
of the killed and wounded are from
Toledo. Fifteen hundred Pclanders
from Toledo came up to Detroit this
afternoon on special Lake Shore train
to celebrate a holiday. They left the
train at the corner of Dequinder and
Garfield streets and went over to St.
Joseph's church where they spent the
day with that congregation.
The Lake Shore tracks run out De-
quinder street and special train
was to stop for the Toledo excursionists
at Garfield avenue at $50. Accom-.
panied by hundreds of their local
friends, waiting for the train the ex-
cursionists jammed Garfield avenue
some time before the train was due, in
readiness for it. When the train was
sighted the crowd pushed across the
track and on to the Grand Trunk tracks
which adjoin those Of the Lake Shore,
as the Grand Trunk Pan-American
Flyer came laundering in from the
west. The people were thrown into
the air and dashed to either side of
the track. Many of them we're ground
under the wheels. The police depart
ment was notified and allthe ambulances
in the city rushed to the scene. The
victims were scattered along the track
for distance of two blocks.

ment has just claimed the whole sum

and this involves Secretary Hay. Some
time ago the Department OF Justice
was asked for an opinion as to the final
disposition of the Sc, 600, and Attorney
General Knox advised that nothing
further be done until suit was brought
to recover the money. Neeley declares
his intention Of suing, and Mr. Payne
will try to persuade Mr.. Hay to per-
suade Senor Quesada to persuade his
government to bring suit likewise, and
there the matter lies, another tribute

slnoA7ON ON The BOND SCRIP.
Declares That if is VaIueIess as
Legal Tender.

Special to The State.
Charleston, May 2.-The validity of
the Blue Ridge Railroad Bond scrip
figured again today in a decision
handed down by Judge Simonton in
the United States circuit court in a
suit which had been brought for the
recovery of tract of land in Fairfield
county sold for taxes, the part pay
ment Of which had been in bond scrip
and refused by the county treasurer.
The title of the case is H. S. Robin
son against I. B. Lee, Jr.
The court ruled that revenue bond
scrip for taxes was not sufficient, the
scrip being invalid, first because it
was III contravention of section IA,
article 9 of the constitution of 1868,
prescribing the mode in which debts
Shall be contracted by the State !;
second, because the guaranty of the
bonds of the Blue Ridge Railroad
company, under the act Of 1868, was
in contrayention of article 9, section
Il, of the constitution of 1868, and so
the revenue bond scrip was issued for
the redemption of what was erroneous
" supposed to be an obligation Of the
State; third, the issue of the revenue
bond scrip is invalid because this scrip
in law and in fact are bills of credit
and so in conflict with section 10,
article l, of the constitution of the
United States; fourth, the plaintiff
is the rightful owner in fee simple of
the tract of land described in the bill
of complaint, and SO is entitled to i'm
mediate possession thereof; fifth, the
owner is entitled to the mesne profits
by way of damages, at the rate of
s4O0 per annum from the day of June
to the date of entry of this judgment.

DESTRUCTIVE HAIL STORM.
Ground Covered With Hail and

Beaufort, May This afternoon at
fte minutes past 8 o'clock hail storm
of unusual severity passed over our
town, lasting for fifteen minu-
tes. Hailstones completely covered
the ground and smashed glasses
in dwellings. The hailstones
were of various sizes. from that
of pigeon eggs to that OF ben's eggs.
Vegetables are stripped and battered
down. Window glasses in the church
windows have been terribly smashed.
Outside of Beaufort and higher up the
road the hail storm does not appear
to have done much damage During
the storm the thermometer, which
had indicated 72 degrees, fell 10 de-

WHAT BERCHER SAID.

"In 1865, two months after the as
sassination of President Lincoln and
four months before the reconstruction
measures were brought before Congress
(Which some of us in the North as
many IF you in the South wish had
never been adopted), Henry Ward
Beecher said: All the law in the
world cannot lift man higher than
the natural forces put him. You
can pass laws saying that the colored
men are your equals, but unless you
can make them thoughtful self respect
ing, intelligent, unless, in short, you
can make them what you say they have
right to be, these laws will be in
vain. I am satisfeud that while we
ought to claim for the colored man
the right of the elective franchise, you
will never be able to secure it and
maintain it for him except by max
ing him so Intelligent that men cannot
deny it to him, iApplause)
