Apoouio regularly UeSIOWeu upon Cne
pontiff by the Italian Parliament.
In pursuance of this same line of
conduct he secluded himself within
the enclosure of the vatican and
from the sanctity of that retreat
issued manifestoes demanding the
restoration of the temporal power of
the church. No occupant of the
chair of ST. Peter has ever been
more jealous of the sovereignty of
the church in temporal as well as in
ecclesiastical matters than Pope Leo
XIII. Being 68 years of age at the
time he assumed the duties of his
sacred Office, it was not believed that
Pope Leo XIII would long continue
TO exercise the prerogatives of that
office, but in spite of the predictions
of wise prophets and the inirmities
of advanced years his reign has ex-
tended itself over one of the longest
periods in the entire history of the
church. Only seven popes occupied
the chair of st. Peter during longer
terms of years than Pope Leo XIII.
In dealing with the different powers
of the globe from time to time,
Pope Leo XIII has betrayed the
abilities of the profound diplomat.
In great international difficulties he
has not hesitated to offer the SER
vices of the church in the final ad.
justment thereof. This has been due
in part to the love of peace which
has always been one of the dominat-
ing principles of his life and in part
to the jealous manner in which he
has always asserted the supreme au-
thority of the church. In the recent
Spanish American war Pope Leo
XIII proposed to arbitrate the dis
pute involved, but his services were
not accepted and the issues of that
dispute were settled at the point of
the sword. In 1895 Pope Leo XIII
formally invited the people of Eng
land to return to the holy unity Of
the church of Rome, but the people
of England were too closely welded
to the established faith to consider
the overture of the pontiff. On ac-
count of his rare intellectual gifts,
the manifestoes Of Pope Leo XIII
have always been read with eager in
terest by people the world over, re-
gardless of ecclesiastical creeds and
affiliations, and on account of his
wonderful vitality he has always
spoken with the tone of authority in
matters Of physical diet as well as
in matters of ecclesiastical import.
In this latter respect he has been
the pontiff of united Christcn.lom.
In taking the measure OF Pope Leo
XIII it may be truthfully affirmed
that the church of Rome never en-.
joyed the administration of one in
authority more thoroughly remarka-
bic in every sense Of the word.
Scholar, diplomat, statesman, pom
tiff, author, Pope Leo XIII will rank
in history among the most illustri-
GUS occupants of the chair of st.
Peter.

Diversified Crops.

No government in the world goes
to the expense that this government
does, to give the people such frequent
and detailed information about crops;
nor is there any other country which
could furnish reports so diversified
and, from the point of view of all the
people, 80 hopeful.
Size is in itself often, perhaps
usually, an Element of strength.
This is as true of country as of an
individual; but the strength of this
country lies more in differences of
soil and variety of climate than i'm
mere extent of territory.
These differences mean diversified
products. fact which the crop
reports bring out at glance, and
therefore reduced liability of wide
spread suffering throuuh local crop
failures. Ifthere is country on the
face of the earth where famine ii
absolutely impossible, this is it. III
ordinary times we raise not merely
the food we ourselves need, but
large share also of what Europe
consumes. Our rations are not con-
fined to one or two things, but con-
sist of wheat, winter and spring;
corn, oats, rye, barley, rice, potatoes,
and many kirds of fruit; beef, NUT
ton, poultry, pork, milk, butter and
eggs. Meteorological conditions
which would blight or destroy more
than small part of this great food
supply are almost inconceivable
at least they are unheard of. And
there remain those other great crops
of cotton and hay, which, although
they do not in themselves furnish
food to man, yet indirectly put food
into the mouths of millions of our
people.
Sections may suffer as, this sum-
mer, New England has suffered from
drought and some parts of the great
West from flood, as we'll as some
parts of the South but these are,
after all, but little patches on the
great agricultural map. The country
as a whole moves prosperously on
from year to year.-Greenville Her

The Model Farm at Winthrop.

Rock Hill, July 25.-The Winthrop
State farm is, no doubt, one of the
most interesting places in this section
just now, and is we'll worth visit
from any one who is at all concerned
about farming and modern methods.
The business has been a success,
and, though the land was only or
dinary several years ago, it is in fine
condition to-day. The actual profit
in money is small, but the improve
ments would declare a big dividend.
Aside from that, the college is fur
nished with produce, fresh, health
giving, and this, too, with all regular
ity and promptness.
The tract contains IA acres, 8
acres being in an orchard of apples,
pears and peaches, 1 acre in straw
berries, 2 in alfalfa and the remain
ing number in corn, sorghum cane,
beans, cowpeas, etc.
From the alfalfa three tons to the
acre have been cut and there will be
two more cuts. This furnishes then
a splendid yield, and it is only two
years old.
The canning plant is now in ope-
ration. Already 1000 gallons OF
peaches have been put up, and 600
gallons more of fruit and tomatoes
will be preserved in this way.
Sixty milch COWS are kept on hand,
the herd being made up of Jerseys,
Holsteins, Guernseys and good
"scrubs." The beef cattle, that is
the greater part of it, is bought and
stall fed. In this way the students
are given the best beef possible. One
hundred and thirty head are
consumed annually.
From the waste products of the
farm and college, 1856 hogs are being
fed. No corn at all is given to them
AS to the corn crop every particle
is fed to the cows and to the stock,
nothing being wasted. The cattle
like the ensilage, which produces q
fine quality of the richest milk.
During the past year the superin-
tendent, Mr.. Buist, expended
$12,689.63, while the receipts amount
to $12,845.57. This makes a good
showing, and when it is remembered
that great improvements have been
made and that the girls have been
given the choicest farm produce, ii
must be pronounced splendid en-
terprise.

Prohibition In Texas.

Galveston, July 25.-The local op-
tion elections have resulted every
where in victories for the prohibi-
tionists. The latter have carried
Williamson county by 200 majority,
Hunt by 25 and Falls by 400, all of
them being among the largest coun-
ties of Texas. In Williamson
county the whiskey men have de-
termined that they will contest the
election on the ground that the pro-
hibitionists intimidated voters and
stuffed the ballot boxes. There also
may be a contest in Hunt. The cam
paign will likely be decisive for the
whole State. Prohibitionists have
already carried two thirds of the
Texas counties.

Unique Way to Commit Suicide.

Raleigh, N. c., July 22.-William
Roark, an Ashe county farmer,
committed suicide here to day in a
strange way. He tied one end of a
rope around his neck and the other
to a bush on the side of cliff and
then leaped from ledge of rock.
His body was found under another
rock on ledge some 20 feet below.
He had made several threats to
commit suicide.
