NEXT GRAFT CASE.
Richland Distilling Company in
Hands of Receiver.

A receiver was at Camden named
for the Richland Distilling Company.
which has come into notoriety in
connection with the old State dis,
pensary. Mr.. Alvam Lumpkin, of
Columbia, was the receiver named
by Judge Ship. The papers were
filed in Columbia.
The Richland Distilling Company
is charged in the complaint with
having defrauded the State of South
Carolina out of 100000. A collision,
between the officers of the company
and the members of the State
board of dispensary directors is al
legged. That the company related
the directorate and overcharged the
State of South Carolina for WHISTLES
sold are allegations in the COM

furthermore desired that all per-
sons interested in charities and
philanothropic questions may attend
the conference. There is no bar to
membership on account of creed or
otherwise. and therefore the invi-

FiuhtinG DUTY on Potash.

The commissioners of agricul-
ture of the South have made an APP
peal to Secretary of State Knox Of
the United States TO use his in
fluence to exert every influence to
prevent the imposition Of a heavy
duty on potash by the German gov
eminent. The proposed tax will
amount to approximately $40 a ton,
which would be very disastrous to
the fertilizer industry in this and
other Southern States and also to
the farmers, who necessarily have
to buy the products for agricultu-
raj purposes.

Increase In Spirituality.

This calls into exercise all the d.

creases it's spirituality, its Joy, It's
power, its purity. its Christian man
hood. This saves 1t too from the ex'
pense incident to a campaign now
ever short. And this will secure a
quiet work, a sound work based on
the Word of God, and a work much
more likely to be permanent.
Modern evangelism lies open to
criticism on every side. HOW mucn
has to be done before 1t begins! no"
much while it lasts? And how mucn
after 1t is over? A mass OF machin.
cry is brought into play, much OF
which is quite unnecessary. And what
demands there are for large sums OF

and CAROLINA
FIGURES CONFLICT.
u. S. Statistics on Corn Crop in
South Carolina.

South Carolina.
The United States department Of
agriculture and Commissioner Wat
son have disagreed as to the corn
crop of South Carolina, or at least
their statistics have.
A regent estimate of the national
department of agriculture places
the corn crop of South Carolina at
4i.733,000 bushels.
The estimate of Commissioner
Watson places the crop at 4~9,74O,OOO
bushels.
The difference in estimates is liza
BILE to cause considerable CORE
spondence. On two previous occa-
sions Mr.. Watson has challenged
the figures Of the national depart
ment of agriculture as to the corn
crop of this State. 1t is the in
tention of the commissioner for this
State to challenge the crude"
manner that has been adopted by
the national department in collect
ing its statistics for this State on
agriculture.
A statement recently issued by
DR.. Seaman A. Knapp of the farm
demonstration work, gives statistics
as to the corn crop for all of the
States Of the South and shows that
within one years time the corn
production of the nine Southern
States has been increased by 1885,
$4,000 bushels. The increase has
been brought about as a reult of the
farm demonstration work.
The average yield per acre in
South Carolina, according to the
bulletin, was 1875 bushels, as COM
pared with 1877 bushels for last
year. The average for ten years in
South Carolina was 11.6.
