ARP ON MILLENNIUM Ail Does Not Think Happy Time Near At Hand VEIY SLOW WORK IN CONVERTING U All the World Is to Come to Christ Better Progress Will have to Be flade By Us. I believe the millennium craze has subsided for awhile. Within my recol lection it bobbed up three, or four times and excited good people all over the country, for good people wish it to come and live in hope and expectation. I remember when William Miller, of Massachusetts, had all New England excited, for he was a very learned man and a sincerer Christian and believed aU that he professed. For ten years he exhorted the people to be ready for the coming of Christ in 1843 and even fixed the day when they would see Him de acending from heaven 'n magnificent glory and escorted by Moses and Elijah and a retinue of angels. He had over 50,000 devoted converts and the night before the promised day they arrayed 'themselves in white raiment and sang and shouted and prayed until morning ad then cHmbed the high hills and the ree tops and the spires of the churches to meet Him as He neared the earth. but He didentcome and it nearly broke their hearts and they liked to have per ished to death, for they had given away as their earthly *bssessions. Wext came Dr. John Cummings, a , 'y learned minister of London, who wrote a book on it and fixed the mil- I S-anlal year at 1863. We were flighting wVer here about that time and the mil ennium had to be postponed. The mil- I lilem means the reign of Christ upon I the earth for a thousand years,' when sverybody will be good and there shall C be no more death nor pain nor sorrow, and there has not been a century since I Bis crucifixion that the religious people d ve not been looking for His coming. a Christians got their belief from the prophets of Daniel and from St. John and St. Peter and later on from 13 benaeus and Justin Martyr and they I delighted themselves with dreams of t glory that was near at hand. Some of t them declared there would be no more J r winters, no more nights and everlast- tl tng wells would run with honey and i] milk and wine. Jerusalem would be re- c built and the fruits of the earth would iI be colossal and never dying. One nota- d ble writer said that every grape vine b would have 10,000 branches and every branch 10,000 shoots and every shoot B 10.000 bunches and every bunch 10.000 n grapes and every grape would make 25 gallons of wine. Good gracious! how thirsty that fellow must have been. But c the millennium d!dent come and by and S by Origen, a very wise and good man. came along In the third century and sc declared that there would be no such li grapes, but that Christ's coming would d ~'KU~6ffbeing predicted and wnen the reformation of Luther and Calvin came about they said that the pope was the anti-Christ and the millennium wes near at hand. Next came Oliver Crom 'well, 'who excited his followers with a -erediction of the millenlum-and so It w goes on and on and now It is about tome for another just as soon as we have done killing off the Phillipines and England has killed out all the Well, now all these rumination, about the millennium were provoked by what I have been reading about the veceat discoverles- of oil all over the country. One thought brings on another and If the comIng of Christ Is near at band and,His reign is to be a spiritual one for-a.thousand years and there is to be no winter or night or sickness or imin or sorrow we won't need all this oil, neither for fuel or light. And so I don't believe the millennium is very near. If all the people are to be con werted and become goodl it will be a Tont~ time off, for It Is a slow process and all the coal and oil that is in the bowels of the earth will be needed. It wasent put there for nothing. Mission ary work Is going on more rapidly than ever before, but it is lIke a drop in ii bucket of water. We have got 20 000 missionaries In besth'en lands and tR ey are afded by 80,000 native preachers and teachers, but these 100.000 will have to convert an average for each of ten a year to make a mi,llon, and there are over a thousand millions of heath ens now and more coming on. But they do not convert half a million a year. for the last report gives only 4,000.000 all told.. Last year we spent $20,000,000 'ea them and have now over 1.000,000 children going to Christian schools and have 23,000 churches and over 1,000 sec ndary schools besides medical colleges saI training schools and hospitals and asylums for orphans and the blind and the insane and the lepers. They have not almost everything that we have got and now have protection in Con stantinople and Pekin end Beirut and ether great heathen centers. The work they ba-re done in the last ten years is - amazin and the abduction of Miss Stone has Increased their zeal. Thirty million dollars has been promised for this yea" and they say that If we can not convert the:' we exn at least civil fre them and teach them the doctrine of a elean shirt and a comfortable home, and these are the first lessons In ?effgion3. The last official report tells us that more than half the purpils are girls. For centuries women and girls have been under the ban and were of no more consequence in the householdl than dogs or beasts of burden. but now they are being lifted up and trestcl with humanity and respect. If the work er our missionaries -accomplishedl nc ether goodl but the rescuing of wo~man f|rom the degrodation of ages it is vorth ten times its cost. Cost! whav t the cost but the surplus of crr w'ea!th and that surplus is not ours, but Gor Libraries and colleges are good thi:'. to build up and foster. but how mnuet 4o the millionaires give to the cauze c' riss~ions? Most of this charity we ar told came from those who are nov worth one-tenth of a mihion. It is a Ia aiemitable fact that the more a ms~n h-l. th~e teore he wants and the less he give away in pronortloc to his wealth. Th-~ yarah!e of Dives and Lazarus was $ssed to slarm the rich and seltid but most of them say give me a little more money and I will take the risk of losing heaven. Paul said to Timothy: "Gain is not godliness, but godliness with contentment is great gain. We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out and they who would be rich fall into temptation and into foolish and heart ful lusts that cast men into perdition. The love of money is the root of all evil." There is a sermon to live by, but it is hard to do. Somehow I can't help wishing I had a little more than I 'iave got-not for myself, but my wife would like a carriage and horses and ride around and take the grand children, and she would like to have some mbnev of her own to give away and buy titt:e presents without asking me every now and then for a dollar or two. She does hate to do that, and I don't let her when I have any to spare.-Bill Arp in Atlanta Constitution. THREE CONVICTED. Get a Five-Year Sentence For Killing a Woman. Walhalla, Special.-Thursday morn' Ing the trial of John Hudson, Money Hudson, George Hudson, Thomas Hud son and Jack Sentnell, charged 'ith murdering Rachel Thomas in the upper part of the county, November :15th last, was commenoed. Great interest was manifested in this trial and ll day Thursday and half of Friday was consumed in taking the testimony ['he arguments Friday afternoon of fessrs. Jaynes and Shelor and of So icitor Boggs were very able. John Hudson, Money Hudson and t rack Sentnell were convicted of man- 1 daughter. George and Tom Hudson. T he other defendants, were found not uilty. Judge Gary sentenced the men each o six years in the penitentiary. The ,hree convicts were young white mar- r led men. Their wives- were present in s ourt and heard them sentenced. ' Pastell Loden, one of the witnesses t a this case, was shot and killed in a l' ifticulty at Westminister a few hours t fter testifying. 1 THE STORY OF THE CRIME. a The account of this murder appeared c 1 the State of Nov. 27th last and fol- P >ws. It will be noted that they under- e )ok to correct an alleged social sin in I' heir community by lawlessness and 0 lot, and followed this with murder. t uis was the second woman ever killed 0 i Oconee county. The convicts may p Dnsider themselves doubly fortunate t i having jury and judge so mercifully tl isposed where they were guided only 0 y savage instincts: a "As the result of the killing of Mrs. E achelor Powell alias Thomas. Sunday t' ight, six young men are now in Oco- T ce jail. They are John Hudscn, q [oney Hudson. Gcorge Hudson. Tom P udson. Rowland Robertson pnd Jack C entnell. The first three were arrested E onday morning 25 miles from the w ene of the crime toward the Georgia ti ne. The others were arrested yester- is teiuet. near Salem.

After they bad torn most of the roof off and his :hlmney down to the ground Powell hen came out and found four men all >f whom he recognized as the Hudson boys. He made the best fight he could Lnd knocked Money Hudson down with i piece of plank. At this functure his wife, a woman of 50 years, came out and was shot In the heart and death rollowed instantly. Mr. Powell says he believed there were others near the house but he could not recognize them. Three of the Hudsons left and passed through Walhalla, about sunrise Sun dlay morning. At the inquest Mr. Pow elI swore that he had knocked Money lTudson down and that he had given tim a black eye. "When this statement was made Powell had not seen Hudson and did not know that he was In jail. Hudson shows the black eye. Drs. Bell and Mc Ktnlcy held the post mortem and found the ball to be one from a 38 calIbre pistol. The Hudsons had two pistols when arrested. one a 32 calIbre, anti the other a 38. Mrs. Powell leaves five children. The place of the kIlling is 17 miles north of here on Keowee river. "Westley Powell and Rachel Powell alias Thomas were under indictment in this country for living in ' deltry. The Hudsons are the sons of John M. Hudson, a Confederate soldier. Ro'b ertson is from North Carolina. Sent nell lived on Keowee river. "This is s3id to have been the second woman ever killed in Oconee county and the affair Is deeply regretted. The case against all the accused now in jail Is believed toibe a strong one." OUTLAW ENDS CAREER. Bartow Warren, the Express. Robber, Dies By Drowning. Branchville, Special-Therbody found in the Edisto river was taken'out Satuir day morning and positively identified as the body of Bai'tow Warren, thoujhr the verdict of the coroner's jury was that the man was -unknown to them and that he came to his death by ac cidental drowning. Every one that has seen this body and knew Warren during life, posi tively identified it as being his body. The pistols found on the body were also identified as Warren's property. There was a camp fixed just across the river from where the body was found just large enough for one man to sleep in. This was In sight of where thD safe was tied. on the night of .Tan. 27th. The su-pposItion now is- that War ren was at this camp watching the safe when the officers found it, and seeing they were pretty- close and fearing cap ture, tried to swim the river and was drown"d In the attempt. It was ge-n erallytho'ught that Warren was at the head of both of the express robberies whIch occurred near Fifty-Eight. Phonograph to Aid Telephone.

It is fell f interest for those who have followed he rapid development of our mechani :al industries. Nine tables of stztis Ics are presentel.: ,The first shows omparative figures for the State at the everal censuses. The second shows all the industries of the State divided be tween hand trades and the manufac ures. proper, and also the statistics of the governmental establishments edu cational and elemosynary institutions. and establishments with a product of less than $500, which three latter class es were not reported at previous cen suses. The third shows statistics of the eight leading industries of the stat" fo- 1890 and 1900. The fourth shows the totals for the city of Charleston at the censuses of 1880, 1890 and 1900.

For the entire State the following d Igures of 50 years' manufacturing de relopment are prosented: The number ,,f establishments increased from 1,330 In 1850 to 2.382 in 1890 and 3,762 in 1900. The capital increased from $6,. 033.265 in 1850 to $29,276,261 in 189-1 a $67,356,465 in 1900. The average numnber of wage-earners increased from 7,066 in 1850 to 22,74S in 1890 ane 43;135 in 1900. The tctal wages in creazed from $1,127,712 in 1850 to S5, 471 ,739 in 1890 and $9,455.900 in 1900 T e employed men of 16 years an o er increased from 5,992 in 1850 t 1 .664 in 1890 and 29,823 in 1900. Th mployed women of 16 years and ove LI rot separately reported in 1850. The Iwere reported as numbering 464 1870, 2,309 in 1890 and 8,560 in 194 The cost of materials used was $2,781 524 in 1850, $18,873,666 in 1890 and $34 027.795 in 1900.

"Pro ably the best indication of the impo tance of the wage-earning class," says, "is afforded by the greatest nut er ernployed at any one time durit n.the year. In 1900 this was 62,900~, tc 47 per cent. of the population of tl n.entire State." That is to say, in 19 et nearly one-twentieth of the inhabitan LVI of the State were employed in man r. facturin . This percentage, of coura Shas bee greatly increased since th ( time by'reason of the increase in t it manufacture of cotton, and in the lut h er, cotton seed oil and fertilizer i Si dustries. At this time the percenta . of the whole population so employ be should be 'l.5. During the decade fra 1890 to 190y the value of lands a; building invested in manufacturing creased fronm $8,573 or 9.5 per cent. the total va\ue of real estate to $12 n 316,413, or 15 per cent. of such assess c value. .Becaise of the large additic to our manutactures since the cens ee year and the -eassessmient of mnanufs ta turing properties it is probable 1h the figure is now 20 per cent. A significant tact which will ha er*its effect upon I.he public mind a: tshould be fr#ply circulated in ne nmmer's camp4gn, is that during t decade 1890-190 the number of cil Sren employed ' n manufacturing a brnsed 370.7 per cent. while the nu; tl.ber of men (16 years and over) I creased only 79 p r cent. The numb: or of women (16 y rs and over)i taa creased 158.3 per ent. 'rhis shows t c- growing tendency of our cotton man c'bfacturers to emplor cheaper classes labor.

The fertilizer industry showed only a small increase except in capital, the enlargement here being from $5,920, 218 to $10,505.043. The number o f wage-earners increased only from 1.102 to 1.772 and the value of products from $4.417,658 to $4,882,506. The flouring and grist miils show a contrary tendency as to capital, the reduction in this d!rection being over one-third and the number of wage earners increasing nearly two-thirds, while the value of products increesed from $2,083.126 to $2.247.790. The lumber and timber products showed these increase: Number of es tablishments. from 352 to 729; capita from $1,348,155 to $5.187,727; wage frm2,590 .to 4,585; wages from 4$40,g8 to$897,899: cost of - materials from $996,289 to $Z.692.805; and v e of products from $2.-!46,750 to $5,2, 184.

The following communication, is sued by the Assistant Agriculturist of Clemson Agricultural College, is of so much value to the farmers of this State on account of the present high price of all Feed products. for fam animals and stock, that I have de termined to get you to publish it: As some of the products made Up a the ration as made 'b'r Mr. Con"r may not be available to every planter I suggest that any such planter write' to Mr. Connor and state what Food products are available to him, both rough forage and concentrated food. and. Mr. Connor will take pleasure In. making up a ration to suit his needs as he has done in this instance. Yours try C. FITZSIMONS, General Manager of the Southern Cotton Oil Company. Columbia, S. C. To the Editor of The News and Courier: Farmers from various sec tions of the State have been writing asking about the advisability of feed ing horses and mules on cotton seed meal and hulls, and also asking for a- . cheaper ration than corn. The following prices are given In a. letter from Scranton, S. C.: Corn, $40 per ton; oats, $45 per ton; wheat . bran, $26 per ton; cotton seed meali . $25 per ton; rice meal, $20 per ton Of ..course, corn and oats are out of '.as a food for "'res and thn cheaper6 s eoo for. The analysishows that rice ment lis,ir-oe the same compositicoE sa on ea, and we have found that It. s just as good for feeding pigs. We have fed It to horses with good re e suts. I think we are safe In sayI 12 that it may be used in place of corn, dpound, for pound. i, If lnohay or fodder is usedin the - ration and hulls are resported to ass I, roughness, some nitrogenous food, 12 such as bran or cotton seed meal, must a be used to supply protein. Hulls may . Ibe fed without any fear of injury to' e the animal. Should they refuse to eat ie the hulls a little corn meal or 'brafl esprinkled over the surface will help' olto break them to It. te A good ration may be made up as 1follows: Six pounds of rice meal, costing. .6.62 Four pounds of wheat bran, cost .. ig. .. . ..... .... .... 5.0' la Two pounds of cotton seed meal, . costing.. .... .... .. ...... 2.5 ;Ten pounds of cotton seed hulls, .costing.. .. .. .....--.--.----' ~Total cost of ration per day 17.1 e The above is for a horse or mule of 1. 1,000 pounds live weight. - It Is evident that a ration made up 1.- of corn and fodder and containing the ; same amount of digestible matter as w. the above ration. would cost much 6; more than the above. ),- The North Carolina Exp.'rment. i Station has fed cotton seed meal and hr. hulls to horses with good results, but re the experiments along this line have 7;not, been extensive e,nough to ay 2~that cotton seed meal can be fed la .unmited quantities for any length S;of 'time without Injury to the animal. ;Numbers of farmers, however, have 0;reported that they have fed cotton eed meal and hulls- to mules and ie horses with good results. al C.
