the farmer can get his money
from the bank and pay cash in
all cases, if there is a lack of rea-
dy money.
Theadvance system bearsdoWn
upon the cotton farmer with
special hardship. His crop is
either sold at once or is forced to
the gin and the warehouse so as to
secure loans. If the cotton farm
er is not forced to sell or raise
money or pay debts he will store
his crop on his farm and maket al
his leisure, which is in the inter-
ests of all parties.
It appears to. me, therefore
that the farmer will immeasura

to sell his crop Immediately upol

A DOWNPOUR OF SHOT.
Strange Phenomenon-Molt e n
Rain Falls.
Santa Cruz, GAL, Dispatch. 9Th.

Santa Cruz. GAL. Dispatch. 9Th.
1t rained hot bird shot at Santa
Cruz to-day for nearly an hour,
according to Mrs. w. H. Burns
and her neighbors. Some of the
shot have been preserved. Mrs.
Burns curiosity was aroused by
the peculiar antics of a number
of barefoot children who were
playing in front of her house.
When she asked them what was
the matter, they told her that
the air was full of electricity and
that hot shot were falling from
the clouds.
She then heard a clatter on
the housetop that sounded like
hail, and she saw little white
threads of steam arising from
neighboring roofs. This steam
was found to be the result of
the dropping of little hot globules
on the daElp shingles.
This molten rain continued
from about 3 to A o'clock in the
afternoon and varied in inten-
sity. At one time the children,
who were bareheaded and I'M
shod, were compelled to take to
cover. One boy carries a burn
on his finger where one of these
hot pellets struck him.
One theory to account for the
phenomenon is that the metallic
rain was due to a meteor. The
pellets are about the size of No.
8 shot and resembled lead.

THE FAIR
TODAY is ANNIVERSARY
OF BISHOPS BIRTHDAY

Today is the nth anniversary of
the birth of John Heyl Vincent,
bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
church and father of the Chautauqua,
an educational movement which has
spread throughout the world. He
was also one of the leaders who made
the modern Sunday school the great
force it has become in the last few
decades.
Bishop Vincent was born in Tusca-
loosa, Ala, February %, 1892, and
brought up among the mountains of
Pennsylvania He was educated at
Lewisburg and Milton, Pa, with such
facilities as these towns afforded.
He was early dedicated to the min
istry. and began to preach at the age
| of eighteen. He was ordained elder
in 1857, and then began his work as
minister of the Methodist church,
which led him to many charges,
and in which capacity he has been
preacher at Yale. Harvard, Cornell,
Wellesley, and other colleges. He
has always been active in Sunday
school work, and has written much
on eligious and historical subjects.
Though largely self-educated. the
bishop is well educated and has de-
grees from several colleges.
There used to be an old camp
meeting ground at Lake Chautauqua
provided with buildings, where an
nual gatherings were held. The Sun
day School association, in which
Bishop Vincent was much interested,
and, in fact. in which he was the
leading spirit, took over the grounds
and buildings OF the camp-meeting
association and added Chautauqua
to it's name. In the summer the Sun
day School association used to meet
at Chautauqua. In 1888 Bishop Vim
cent met Lewis Miller, of Ohio, and
got him interested in the work. At
first the meetings at Chautauqua
were intended for the instruction of
Sunday school teachers only, but the
bishop saw the opportunity for ex-
tending the work. and so did extend
it until It has become what all men
llnow-a great educational factor.

THOMAS CHARLESTON DEAD.

Another pioneer was called last
night, it being Thomas Charleston.
an aged negro we'll known in this
city, where he has lived for all the
years of the county's history.
Charleston came here among the
original settlers and has always en-
joyed the esteem of the public.
About ten years ago Charleston
was beaten up by thugs in this city
and he has never been the same man
since. He lay for many months after
his beating before he fully recovered.
Up until that time he was as fine
specimen of manhood physically as
one might desire to see. He walked
very erect always. had been through
the civil conflict and had quite
military bearing.
He was a member of the local
Grand Army post in this city and his
comrades in arms always respected
Tom for his many qualities.
None knew his age exactly nor did
he himself He was however, much
older than he looked. He was over
the seventy mark considerable. At
various times he conducted boarding
houses and rooming houses through
out the city, being quite famous
cook. A number of years ago his
possum dinners gave him great rep
utation and it was quite the thing to
take possum dinner with Charleston.
He lately conducted small groc-
cry in the Milldale subdivision.
He was severely honest in his ev-
cry business transaction.
A number of years ago he made
the acquaintance of "Faraway Moses"
writer for the Pennsylvania Grit,
who was spending some time in this
city. The friendship was never
broken, although distance separated
the writer and the negro for many
years. Last Saturday afternoon
Charleston was peddling the Grit on
the streets, as was his custom. Sat
urday night he suffered stroke of
paralysis and from that he never re-
gained consciousness. Many kind
friends of his race took charge of
him in his short sickness and ad-
ministered to him.
Arrangements for his burial had
not been made this morning.

BRINKERHoFFs ENTERTAIN.

One of the most brilliant social
functions of this very busy social sea-
son took place last night at tine home
of superintendent j. IL. Brinkerhoff
and wife, at their handsomely ap-
pointed home at 43S Grand avenue.
The affair was bridge whist party
and with it a celebration of Wash
ington's birthday, all the decorations
being in comport with the spirit of
the day celebrated.
The larger majority of the social
affairs of this season have been for
women alone, but the gentlemen were
included at last nights affair and the
universal sentiment of the ladies was
ioyable than if celebrated alone.
The Brinkerhoffs proved them
selves most charming hosts and the
guests were impressed with the very
brilliant decorations which had been
made for their enjoyment and COM
fort. Throughout all the rooms, was
the cherry and cherry blossoms, indi-
cative of George Washington first
conflict with his father. There were
flowers in profusion and the en-
semble entirely complete and nothing
to be wished for.
The luncheon served when the
whist contest had been concluded
was delightful and enjoyed by all.
The party was given in honor of
Miss Annie Allen, sister of Mrs.
Thomas Dimes, from Petersburg, Vir-
ginia. To her was awarded the first
ladies honor a beautiful hand PAINTED

prize winner among the Fentlenen.
