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

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

THE STORY OF THE CRIME. a
The account of this murder appeared c
1 the State of Nov. 27th last and fol- P

)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

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

case against all the accused now in jail
Is believed toibe a strong one."

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.

when the officers found it, and seeing
they were pretty- close and fearing cap

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

the governmental establishments edu

and establishments with a product of
less than $500, which three latter class
es were not reported at previous cen

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.
The fifth shows the urban manufac

For the entire State the following
d Igures of 50 years' manufacturing de

,,f establishments increased from 1,330
In 1850 to 2.382 in 1890 and 3,762 in

ber of wage-earners employed in ma:
a tfacturing establishmlents increas'
reper oent. of the entire population, e'a
,pared with 1.1 per cent In 1850. "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

c value. .Becaise of the large additic
to our manutactures since the cens

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:

CHEAP FOOD FOR dDQSESand CATTLE
Clemson College Makes an Important
Suggestion to The Farmers.
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.
