London, Aug 2S.-The foreign office
has received a dispatch from the
British consul at Beirut notifying the
authorities here of the assassination
of William O. Magelssen, the United
States vice consul at that place. No
details are given. and this, coupled
with the fact that there have been no
developments since the assassination
was reported. leads the British officials
to conclude that no anti-foreign upris-
Ing has occurred.

~ Of -
Thomas Jefferson
theF tPartof a History Of the United States

Permit me 10 offer the homage, Congratu-
lations that are sincere. Read on:
May the days of your majestys life
be many and glorious
President Washington then proceeds to
hope. earnestly and somewhat humbly,
that the young pirate will treat the Uni
ted states as literally a the old dead
pirate had done.
And the missive winds up with an as
tonishing prayer that the God whom we
both adore eve pirates will bless your
imperial majesty with long life, health
and success
Blessed pirates
Al the close OF this amazing letter and
astonishing prayer are signed the names
OF George Washington, president and
Thomas jefferson. secretary of state.
Verify diplomacy has ways tn atare Pc
culiar. ana language which is queer
And when President Washington trans
mitted 10 the senate that treaty with
Trpon which the senate ratified. the in
troductory sentence ran in these words
AS the government OF the United
States is not in any sense founded on
the Christian religion. etc
This to soothe the Moha mmedan pirate
and TO keep his prices within the bounds
OF moderation
In view Of such facts as these it might
be We'll for historical authors to discard
the title Of "Barbary Pirates" and to
put upon Washington's great friend OF
glorious memory" name which would
reflect greater credit-upOn Washington.
AS We'll as another could Washington
resort TO the wiles OF diplomacy when
occasion deIna nded. Hence he could court
the MuSSulman with meaningless bland
ishments and bide the time when the
sword could cut this particularly difficult
knot.
During his second administration Wash
ington believed that his country was
strong enough to defy the Barbary pow
ers and he called upon congress for half
a dozen modest little battle ships to be
used in the Mediterranean. After the US
ual heightened debate, congress did final
~ vote the vessels
Nothing further was done until Jeffer-
son himself was president We shall then
see how tins most tenacious Of men car
ried out his original plan Of bringing the
MuSsulman to realize that the Crusades
We're over
This recommendation which Washing
ton made in lis message was based upon
the report which Mr.. jefferson. as score
tary of state. had made to congress
That body ha.ing applied to him in the
matter Of the navy he advised the build
ing OF a sufficient number Of vessels to
protect our commerce in the Mediterra-
mean. On account OF suggestions like
those he made in Paris and during his

son the father Of the American navy.

Addresses Wednesday to
Laurens Farmers.
VALUABLE TALKS.
Congressman Joseph Il.
Johnson was Present.
Addresses by Prof. G. II. Ball ard
Prof. Newman-The Latter Dis.
cussed Fertilizers Instructiyely.

10 about 40 farmers and citizens last
Wednesday, Prof. Q. r.. Ball, agrostolo-
gist of the national agricultural de-
partment and Prof. Newman Of Glenn
son made instructive addresses on
grass culture and fertilizers. Congress-
man Johnson az whose instance Mr..
Ball came here vas present and intro
duced the speakers. The talks were
plain and informal and the audience
was greatly interested. Many ques-
lions were asked and answered.
Mr.. Capers Hellams inquired of Prof.
Ball a remedy for the wild onion pest.
This was a poser. Mr.. Ball said that
the department was working to dnd a
remedy but so far had not succeeded.
NJ. Ball said that while cotton would
always be our leading crop there was
necessity for other crops. Where Mis-
sissippi uses $1.14 cents for commercial
fertilizers South Carolina uses ST. Ia.
by cattle raising the fertilizer will be
produced at the same time. 1 believe
fertilizer is a good investment but
there Is no reason why a great proper
tion of 1t should not be made through
livestock. Livestock production de-
ponds on forage crops. South Carolina
Is more blessed by far in rainfall than
most grass producing sections.
IA speaker discussed the cow-pea
as a forage and fertilizing crop and
said the amount of hay from it could be
Increased by better stacking methods.
He impressed the value of sorghum
cane as a winter forage. Bermuda is
the prince of pasture grasses but not
for the year round. When buying grass
seeds get them from Southern dealers.
Their seeds are better adapted to this
climate. DON'T buy catalogue repre-
sensations of Northern dealers, whose
seeds were produced in other climates.
Winter grass crops have the great in
ctdental value of preventing lands from
being washed away by winter rains.
Beef cattle can be produced as cheaply
mere as anywhere in the United States.
Col. Newman said that every grass
must have its rest period. IL grass is
kept eaten down in summer its life
wilt be destroyed,-leaves are neces-
sary to plant life. Alfalfa should never
De sown broad cast. We can nearly
approximate pasturage the year round
in this section.
Concerning fertilizers he said that
when the cotton seed were sold to the
oil mills an equivalent should be p ,r-
