Would be Called off.

A special dispatch to The Greenvllle
News says the Spartanburg county
cotton growers recently made appoint,
ments for several special meetings In
the county. The date at sCherokee
Springs is July 20. These meetings
were intended to increase the mem
bership Of the association and to arouse
a more general intert 81 in the move.
ment. 1t was expected that they
would be farmers meetings with no
strings to them. President E. l..
Archer Of the Cotton Growers Associ
alton was notified Friday that some OF
the citizens Of Cherokee desired Col.
John L. McLaurin to make the address
on the 29th inst.
1t Is said that recently McLaurin
upon learning Of the meeting Of the
farmers, at Cherokee Springs wrote to
friend In that section informing him
Of his willingness 50 to address the farm
ers on that day. The curly. headed or.
ator did not indicate that his speech
was to be Of u political nature bu.
when President Archer Of the county
association was informed Of the for
NOR Senator's offer he promptly told
the recipient Of the letter that owing
to a previous action Of the committee
on invitation he could not allow Mr..
McL2 URN to speak at the meeting
which was called by order Of the as.
sociation. Mr.. Archer feels that In
declining the ex Senator's proposition
he is but carrying out the agreement
entered into by the OH GERS and mem.
bers Of the association when 1T was or.
ganized. He therefore declined to cx
tend an invitation to Mr.. McLaurin.
Itappears that some time ago when
arrangements were being made for
the Cherokee meeting several names
Of available speakers were suggested
by members of the invitation commit.
tee and all were Gully considered. 1t
Is said that both Senator Tillman and
ex-senator McLaurin were among the
prominent ones mentioned and wert,

President Archer made the follow

POISONED FLOUR
Shipped To China Bnd Results In
Number Of Deaths
Will Not Only Hurt Trade in That
Commodity But in Others
Tho Story.

The Washington correspondent of
the Columbia Record says report lust
received In the United States shows
that American flour shipping interests
In China are likely to receive q heavy
blow soon, unless something is done
| to correct a report that American flour
men are sending poisoned flour there.
The business OF shipping flour to some
sections Of China, especially to Annoy
and Ohangchau, is enormous. Last
year it amounted to 1853, ,5O2, and the
year previous to $685. Not long
siEcs a certain shipment of flour was
sent from Hong Kong and out of that
htpment somewhere between thirty
and forty people have died as a result
OF having eaten a poisonous mixture.
All sorts of rumors have been spread
broadcast, and antlforeign agitation
has received great impetus.
This shipment, which was sent from
Hong Kong to Annoy, was consigned
to native importers and was distribut
ed IN the ordinary course Of business,
and to all appearances was not Il fer
emit from many shipments which had
been made before. The first trouble
came at Chinese restaurant where a
man who was eating q meal became
suddenly Ill and In few moments
died. The keeper Of the restaurant
being accused Of having adulterated
the flour with poison, agreed to eat
some of the bread IN order to show
that there was nothing the matte,
With It,. In the course Of a few hours he
also was dead. His wife and daughters
also died from eating bread from the
same flour.
The story spread rapidly, and wher.
ever the flour had been shipped the
Chinese died like so many dogs. In
Changchau, city Of l 900, 900 inhab.
'tants, the result has been to almos;
stop the r( c3ipls Of foreign flour from
any port. Hundreds of small store
keepers and bakers have small stocks
II goods on hahd which they are IN
able to sell on account Of the fact thai
che people are afraid to buy imported
bread and flour. The loss to these
little merchants, while considerable,
amounts, as matter Of fact, to moth
ing In comparison to the onormou.
loss Of profits which will accrue from
oss OF business which has taken many
years to build up. Unless the present
trouble can be done away with, there
will be permanent loss, for Chimes
consumers will again become acc is
TONED to purely native food, and tbe
ground gained there by Americans az
er many years OF effort and labor will
oe entirely lost.
There is no explanation Of the
trouble, but 1t Is probable that Chin.
ese merchants made an effort to SIN
gle In morphia in sacks of -four and
Ghat the packages of poison were
broken, and the flour was thus affeot
ed. The duty on morphia is very high,
while that on flour is only per cent.
I'd valorem. Whatever the truth about
this matter my be, there Is no douo
OF the fact, as stated, that American
interests in the -four shipping bust
ness will be materially affected unless
relieved soon

HARVARD,S PRACTICE.
Attempt to Go over Course Again but
 Are Frustrated by Tug Boats.

Red Top, Gales Ferry, Conn, June fl. Tonight Captain Filley and Coach
 Wray decided as the Harvard varsity
 oarsmen were in such good shape after their time row of yesterday that it would be we'll to send them again over the course. The launch John Harvard accordingly took the varsity and fresh- man crews down stream to the draw bridge. The freshmen rowed back from that point to the first mile mark and
 waited there. Coach Wray told the varsity men to row 8 very slow, about 24 to the minute and to work on a very slow recovery.
 At the start at the bridge the boat was rather unsteady and was inclined to lurch suddenly first to starboard and then to port At the mile mark the freshmen picked up the varsity boat entering the race about half a length
 behind. The freshmen were rowing a rapid stroke about 36 and soon reached the varsity the. two mile mark finding the younger oarsmen half a length
 ahead. From this point the freshmen gradually increased their lead until at the three mile mark they were ten sec-
 onds ahead. Here the varsity crew
 took a spurt, hitting up faster stroke
 and were gaining on the freshmen rap
 idly when two tugs coming down stream
 raised such wash that the cachers
 were compelled to order the rowing stopped. The freshmen were then
 three-quarters of length ahead. The time for the varsity for the three miles
 was 10 minutes 2S seconds, which is not bad considering that the crew
 rowed only 24 strokes to the minute. Just before the Harvard crew started the Yale varsity covered the four miles in 22 minutes 25 3-5 seconds.
 The Harvard varsity four took long
 paddle three miles down the river and
 back again using a low stroke. They devoted all their practice to an effort to get together in the stroke and get
 more drive at the finish.

THE MOROCCAN DISPUTE.
Britain to stand Firm by Her Agrees
 lnent With France.

Fez, Morocco, June H.Great Britt aims reply to the sultan's invitation to that country to join an international conference on the Moroccan situation, which has been handed to the govern nent, consisted of a categorical refu- sal. This is the first reply to be receiv- ed by the foreign office and is quite un- mistakable in terms, showing the loy- alty of Great Britain to her agreement with France Count Von Tattenbach- Ashold, head of the German mission in Morocco, has handed in the reply of Germany accepting the invitation.
 It is expected that the reply of the French government will be the last to be received, in order that France may emphasize her refusal to comply with the sultan's request.
 A review of the troops was held this morning in honor of the German off, cers. Count Von Tattenbach- Ashold was unable to be present and Colonel Von Schenk, who is attached to the German mission, witnessed the march past and the various exercises. The colonel complimented the commander on the smart appearance of his troops.
