FOR THE NEGRO PREACHERS.
Sum Of 100000 to Be Raised for
Their Education.

Sum OF 100000 to Be Raised for
Their Education.
Fifteen clergymen and elders inter
ested in the work of education of the
southern negro preachers have given
a dinner in New York to Rev. G. s.
Miller, superintendent Of the John C.
Martin fund. This fund, which ap-
proximates 100000, is to be used for
educating negro clergymen Of all de-
nominations. 1t is the ultimate inten-
tion to bring the work to focus in a
chautauqua for southern negroes
The Rev. Mr.. Miller has been or.
ganizing Bible Institutes for year. He
has completed the work in Arkansas
and made beginning in Georgia,
South Carolina and Tennessee. 1--WE
have 10000 students now" he said
"and hope to have 10000 before we
are through. The clergymen are eager
to learn and they pass the knowledge
straight on to their congregations. The
people Of the south are with us; they
approve OF this method of uplifting the
negro
I'VE have had some difficulty with
inter-denominational prejudice, but we
kare getting around to 1t. 1t Is the
greatest work for the negro underta
ken since emancipation"

"A washington special says: Sitting
as grand jury, the house of represen.
tatives Tuesday, with almost full mem
bership. and afetr more than fye
hours discussion to the exclusion OF
all other business, adopted resolu-
tion providing for the impeachment Of
Judge Charles Swayne, of che north
ern district OF Florida for nigh
crimes and misdemeanors."
The case against the respondent
was clearly set out by Mr.. Palmer,
Of Pennsylvania, chairman Of the sub
committee, which heard the evidence
In the case. He carefully dissected
the evidence bearing on each of the
specifications, and said that If it we're
found that Judge Swayne had done
we'll, he should be vindicated, bat IL
he had done Ill, he should be sent to
trial, "where his excuse ami apologies
may not receive consideration" He
was followed by Messrs. Clayton, OF
Alabama; Powers, of Massachusetts,;
Henry, OF Texas, and Lamar of Flor
Ida, each OF whom in most vigorous
terms advocated impeachment Messrs.
Gilbert, OF California, and L:t,eneld.
OF Maine in speeches opposed their
colleagues on all the specifications ex-
cept one as to the account rendered
to the government by Judge Swayna
for travelling expenses. 10
Throughout the session intense In
terest was shown by members. Fol-
lowing the adoption of the impeach-
ment resolution, provision was made
for the appointment OF five members
to notify the senate of tho impeach-
ment and for a committee of seven to
present the case to the senate.
The days proceedings were the first
OF their kind since the impeachment In
1876 of General w w. Belknap. who,
was secretary Of war in President
Grants cabinet.
After Mr. Hemenway, of Indiana,
from the comUittee on appropriations,
reported the urgent deficiency bill and
gave notice that he would call 1t up
Wednesday, Mr. Palmer, Of Pennsyl-
vania, from the Judiciary committee.
called up the Swayne resolutions.
Speaker Cannon compelled silence
while it was read, remarking that ev-
cry member should hear It, Mr. Pal
mer then read the specifications
against the Judge. upon which the com
mittee had based its action.
In support of the charge of misbe-
havior, Mr. Palmer said the evidence
showed that out Of each year Judge
Swayne spent on an average of zig
days somewhere else. neither in his
district holding court nor outside Of
his district holding court Jud~e
Swayne he said, never voted in Flor

port. Louisiana, conferred togeth.
er Monday morning with a
view to organizatiin in furtherance Of
plan to hold cotton until prices re.
turn to the normal, that is 10 cents. 1t
was arranged to bring the subject and
plan to the entire body of the dele.
gates and secure adoption.
Delegates report that rs per cent
OF the farmers who have cotton on
hand are in condition to hold indefn.
! itely for 10 cents, and will do so. The
belief is general that the ginner's re.
port will show crop not exceeding
eleven and q half million bales. The
estimate by the government statisti.
clan Is regarded as nothing more than
guess, and is regarded as absolutely
grounJless.
1t Ii understood that southern bank.
ers generally will cheerfully aid the
farmers to hold by advancing, IL desir.
ed, $40 per bale.
The concensus OF opinion Is that
farmers are moro ready than hereto.
fore to stand together and to make
sacrifices II necessary to defeat the
schemes OF the bears who are seeking
to despoil them. Most experienced
farmers declare that ordinarily the
cost Of production OF pound of cot.
ton Is z cents, with higher prices for
farming implements, etc, actual cost
Is cents, and the producer Is clearly
entitled to cents a pound for his la
Dor, etc. Farmers have never shown
themselves more in earnest or more
determined to stand to their interest
tina nnow. They can thwart them. All
they have to do Is 90 stand firm and
united.
South Carolina farmers have an in,
spector at work in each county now
collecting crop information that will
be reliable and Of great value to pro-
ducers. In Texas the merchants who
mako advances will require diversified.
tion OF crops and smaller cotton acre.
age next year.
The ruling spirit is that the boil
weevil shall be killed and the bears
put to flight.
The feeling, which has ripered into
a conviction, Is that II there Is a 12.
ooO,o0o-bale crop, every pound /.
worth 10 cents. 1t Is further propos
ed that arrangements be made mex

EXPERIMENT SUCCESSFUL
Cotton Manufacturers Declare They
Cannot Secure Sufficient Home
Labor and are Forced to
Employ Outsiders.

The Introduction OF foreign labor
INTO the cotton mills of South Caro-.
lima, says special from Columbia.
marks new era in the cotton manu-.
featuring industry. This departure has
been made necessary by the scarcity
OF mill labor, due to the high price OF
cotton drawing the present help back
to the farms
An organized movement on the part
of the cotton mill interests was begun
some time ago and as result foreign
help Is being brought to the leading
mill centers in the state.
Lewis w. Parker, president of the
Olympia, Richland and CRANKY mills.
and of the mills in Greenville,
states that he is entirely satisfied with
the experiment in Greenville and Is of
the opinion that eventually foreign Ia
Dor will be brought to the mills gener-
ally throughout the state.
The mill men are delighted with the
. seadiness and reliability OF the new
help and the foreigners, many of
whom are well educated, seem to be
pleased with their new work and sur
roundings.
1t is said that one-third of the spin.
dies are lying idle in the state because
OF the insuflclency of the supply of
labor and 1t Is this condition that has
forced the mills to look elsewhere for
help.

through the endowment house twenty
times at least.

might logically lead to the creation OF
an International body to improve the
condition OF wage-earners and their re-

economic education throughout the

Never before" the report says,
have there been so many evidences

Its significant. and encouraging outlook
Is welcomed everywhere. Many differ
on the details of the work, however"
Abiding to the section of appren.
tices and efforts to regulate competi-
tion. Mr. Easley said:
"rhe eternal presence OF these ques-
tions so vital to all society and to the
progress OF civilization, invites the
most searching and devoted study. II
they are insoluble and irreducible
there may be found adjustments that
would prove effective so far as they
accord with principles. 1t Is for the
attainment of these purposes that the
department of the industrial econo.

The newly organized welfare depart

comfort, recreation and education of
the employees has received enthusias-
tic support from many employers, ac-
cording to the report of Chairman H.
