Both boys were whirling upon the

what is called candy in the United States The
United States imports quantities of cacao, choco-
late and confectionery from European countries
and itself exports quantities. abroad it's markets
including every country in America, even those in
which cacao growing for export is an established
industry. ~~ &c.,. .. ..
Ia may be prophesied that the time is coming
when the supply of cacao will not equal the de-
mand. While there are untouched areas in Latin
America, in Africa and the East Indies yet this
area is rather sharply defined and by nature linn.

by merely looking at the map, for the climatic

cessful plantations. Probably America has larger
resources Of virgin land than the rest Of the EARTH
and will always hold the lead in production This
should surely be the case If improved methods of
cultivation and transportation increase the yield
and the profit from the crop. r.. - .asl. -..
The area for cacao production as has been stat
ed, is limited, while population is growing at
rapid rate, and in addition the value of cacao Is
becoming recognized with greater clearness each
year. AS Is the case, therefore, with other great
staples Of the world-for cacao must now be con-
sidered agricultural staple-like meat wheat
corn and cotton, the price is slowly rising as
larger food supply must be gathered for the
worlds needs. By the middle Of the century the
result may be expected that the supp]ywill be az
proportionately meager in relation to population
as 1t at present appears to be ample. --..ze

Much scientific study has of late years been

give growers some sense of security concerning

the years crop comes from seven
republics Of Latin America; adding
to this the amount grown in the de-
pendent countries Of America, it Is
evident that the Western Henri
sphere produces every year the larg-
er part of the worlds supply. The
list is again headed by those friend
~ rivals, Brazil and Ecuador, on op-
pos1te sides of the continent, but
both south of the Equator; they al
ways contribute a generous proper

BLACK Low SULLIVAN.

My ancestors lived in Charlotte
county, Virginia. This section was
SO overrun and eat out by the armies
of the old Seven Years War, that my
people decided to move to quieter
place. so they came down on the
Ogechee river near the old capitol of
Georgia, Louisville. They got into a
hornets nest again, were called out
for six months military duty under
Capt. Game Harvey and Col. Twiggs,
and while absent from their home, the
Tories and Indians made raid on
them; stole their cattle and provisions
and two negro men, Matt and Low.
Matt joined tory command and was
hung by them for some impudence to
the captains wife. Our folks stayed
one year over there and moved to Lau-
rens County, S. c., on Little river,
near Odell mill. After the close Of the
war, Charles Sullivan went to Charles
ton after farm supplies. While in the
w.
ed out in British red coat. He told
Low he was going to carry him back
with him. He consented to return if
his wife was allowed to come with him
He claims to have married a free wom-
an in Charleston. When the family
moved up into Greenville county in
1884 Baptist preacher, William Webb,
came out to visit his old neighbors
who had emgratcd south. On visit
to Charles Sullivan, Lows wife was
waiting on the table at dinner. and
heard the preacher tell about their old
Virginia friends that they had left
up there. Lows wife told him she
knew all those people and had heard
him preach in Virginia. On his return
he mentioned about Lows wife living
with a certain family. The gentleman
got interested in the conversation and
had him to give a minute description
the way from old Virginia to take
look nj her, and she proved to be his
slave that had run away during the
revolutionary war. Her owner carried
her back to Virginia. So Low lost his
wife. Low fell into the possession of
Hewlett Sullivan, who bought him an
other wife and made this agreement
with him: when you and Sylvia have
twelve children | will set you free.
They raised fourteen children. Low
beat his master Hewlett two in num-
ber, who raised twelve children. Low
moved into a cabin to work for him
self. When his wife died he was
moved back. SO he could be looked af-
ter in his old age. Low was the an
cestor of Charles p. Sullivans body
! servant, Spencer, who was we'll known
in Laurens, and of Capt. G.. w. Sulli-
vans, foreman, Long Tom Sullivan.

James " Wallace a member of the

the committe yesterday, insinuated
that Attorney General Lyon and II. b.

a bank in Cincinnati which they had

had overcharged the State of Sou.N
Carolina for labels and intimated tn. t
1t was the intention of Lyon and Eel

not been reported to the Blease com

AT this point Attorney General

to the fact that Mr.. Wallace was "giv-

the opinions were false" Mr.. Lyon
also stated that he had in his posses

entered into by Mr. Fielder with
WeiskoDf by which it was agreed TO
pay to the State $1,000 when Weis-
kopf was relieved from further prose

trustees to be paid to the State

the investigating committee by At

that the testimony of Mr.. Wallace to
