Two of a Kind,

Andrew ID. White tells this story of
Robert Browning, whose poetry is
full of enigmatical meaning. The
poet one morning, hearing a noise in
the street before his house, went to
his window and saw a great crowd
gazing at some Chinamen IN gorgeous
costumes who were just leaving their
carriages to mount his steps.
Presently they were announced as
the Chinese minister to the Court of
st. James. and his suite. A solemn
presentation having taken place
Browning said to the interpreter,
May ask to what | am indebted for
his excellency's visit?" The interpre-
ter replied: His eXcellency is a poet
in his country" Thereupon the two
poets shook hands heartily.
Browning then said: May l ask to
what branch of poetry his eXcellency
devotes himself?" To which the in
terpreter answered. His eXcellency
devotes himself to poeticat enigmas." "
At this Browning. recognizing fully
the comic element in the situation,
extended his hand most cordially,
saying; His eXcellency is thrice well
come, he is brother indeed"

ever before enjoyed is already assured

Harvest AhOnI Over.

J. +. Reynolds, one of the most
prominent threshing machine men in
Grand Ronde valley. passed down the
O. II. & N. today to the Lewis and

practically over in Grand Ronde val

yet the hot weather during June and
July blighted some localities so the
yield is very light in spots. The
sugar beet crop is excellent and beet
harvest is now beginning.

To Sell Court House.

Sumter, April 29.-A matter
that is exciting considerable in
tercst in this county now is the
proposed sale of the Court House
and Court House square and the
erection of new Court House.
The Court House square is situat-
ed on the west side Of North Main
street in the centre Of the business
district and contains one acre.
The Court House itself is anti
quated and there has been COM
plant for years that the noise from
the street interfered with the dis
patch of the business Of the Court.
For these reasons it is desired to
erect large and modern Court
House in a more quiet locality.
Within the past few weeks the
county board of commissioners
has received an offer Of $6o,ooo
for the Court House square, and
public sentiment is strongly in
favor Of the acceptance Of the Of
fer, inasmuch as another lot can
be purchased and the new Court
House erected for the price re-
ccived for the old lot. The grand
jury, in its presentment yesterday
afternoon, recommended the sale.

which he will pay the death pen
atty WAS the brutal murder of his
wife, Mary Henderson, on
Washington street, this city on
the night of December 7. Hen
derson used u butcherknife and the
woman was horribly mutilated
Henderson admitted his gulltwhen
captut ed in Lee County more than
two months after the murder, aud
made no excuse, except to say tina
he did not think he had hurt her
enough to kill.

The Farce at Lancaster.

That was a remarkable 6uscO
in the preliminary bearing at Ian
caster in the case brought against
alleged lynchers of John MoIri-
son We confess to mn inability
to- understand the full lnwardncss
of the judicl2l invo stIgntion 1t
is quite conceivable that the So
licitor should have unwittiDgly
employed disreputable agents to
secure evidence against the lynch
ers of Morrison. That the sotic-
itor should dcsi: g to bring lynch
ers to Justice, regardless of their
pei sonnel, is most commendable =;
and as long as the guilt of any
man or body of men were truly
established the manner of secur-
ing the evidence was OF secondary
consideration in the eyes of the
law. The most astonishing pal t
of the proceedings is that man
as unknown to Solicitor Henry IS
Howie appears to have been and
one who would not have improved
on acqualntance-should have
been entrusted with the executive
part of such an important case.
1t is incomprehensible that the
arrest of a batch Of citizens on so
serious Il charge should have been
made without evidence against
them.
We lack explanation rs to why
Howie and the alleged States
witnesses were absent from a hear
ing ADVERT ,ed far in advance.
But when the solicitor arrived he
was prepared to admit having
made blunder; he appears to
have then realized that he hal
been victlmlzed. In justice to
the accused, the charges should
have been Immediately withdrawn
in acknowledgment of the absence
of foundation for the prosecution.

THE WAR.

The world is still waiting for
the promised battle between the
fleets Of the Admirals Rojestven-
sky and Togo, but is now more
in the dark regarding their posi-
tions than week ago. All that
is positively known is that the
Russian vessels have disappeared
from kamranh Bay, about which
they apparently hovercd for some
days after, getting outside the
three-mile limit, and it is believed
in some quarters that they will
enter the Pacific and endeavor to
reach Vladivostocl. Admiral Ro-
jestvensky is apparently delaying
his movements to allow the squad
rou under Admiral Niebogatoff to
join him before Togo makes his
attack. Where the Japanese ves-
sells are at this time is apparently
a complete mystery. They are
doubtless not far from the Rus
slams, but where is unknown.
The news from Manchuria con-
tinues to chronicle insignificant
clashes Of more or less severe
character, but the land forces are
apparently still waiting fer the
battle Of the ironclads Of Togo
and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Oh

Farmers Are Being Unjustly
Criticised Average Has Been
Reduced.

Atlanta, Ga. May I:-Thc
farmers Of the South are now and
have been for several months un-
justly criticised by class of peo-
pie who are engaged in other
lines Of business. In December
the business and speculative world
said the cotton growers would not
hold their cotton in the face Of an
enormous overproduction Of the
staple and a rapidly declining
market. Yet the facts show that
the spot market was absolutely
tied up for several months and
the price of the downward tend
ency Of the staple checked and
advanced back fully two cents
per pound, netting from twenty
five to thirty million dollars on
the amount Of cotton unsold up
to December 8, Ioo4.
The heavy sales made during
the past 90 days would never
have taken place if proper storage
facilities had been provided to
keep the staple in sound condi-
ton. The farmers whipped that
fight, which cannot be denied.
1t is now reported that the cotton
acreage reduction will not mate
rialize and that an increased
amount of guano has been sold.
Farmers all over the cotton belt
testify that the cotton acreage has
been materially reduced and it is
now an undeniable fact that the
actual sales of guano have fallen
short from 20 to 40 per cent less
than last year. The fertilizer peo-
pie themselves do not deny this.
l am convinced that the farmers
are honest and have lived up to
their pledges and know that the
faces will substantiatc this state
ment.
The general public is not Civ
ing them credit for either honesty
or ability to stand by their pledges
or promises. 1t is unfair and un-
jhst to discredit Southern farmers
in the eyes Of the business world
when they hove during the past
few months proven themselves so
capable Of doing great things, and
when they have by their cooper
ton and persistence saved the
whole South from financial de-
preston and ruin. The truth
must live, but the present bearish
literature that is being published
and sent out broadcast that the
farmers have failed to reduce their
cotton acreage and use of guano
will have speedy death in the
near future.
