PRESIDENT SPOKE TO MINERS
PresidentRoosevelt Gave Some Splen
did Advice.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., Special.-From
every section of the anthracite region
miners and temeprance workers came
here, thousands arriving on the early
trains, and before daylight crowds of
people with lunch boxes and umbrel
las had camped out in advantageous
spclts to await the arrival of Presider.t
Roosevelt.
The Catholic Total Abstinence Union
delegates transacted but little business
this morning, and at noon the ten
thousand uniformed cadets and soldiers
of the two regiments of the order pa
raded. This parade ended in time for
the regiments to line the streets and
keep back the great crowds. Before
the President's train came to a full
stop a great shout went from the enor
mous crowd assembled at the station,
which increased into a roar as the
President stepped briskly from the
train. The President was met by the
local reception committee, which in
eluded Father Curran and John Mitch
ell. The streets along the route froma
the station to the Susquehanna river,
where the speakers' stand was erected,
were lined with a solid mass of people.
Many of them had been standing at
favorite places for hours. The Presi
dent's reception as he was rapidly driv
en over the route was a tremendous
one. The President appeared to be ex
tremely pleased at thet demonstration
and kept bowing to the right and le:-.t.
The crowd at the speakers' stand was
so noisy that it took several minutes to
quift the enthusiasm and permit tae
exercise to begin. Those who spoke
were President Roosevelt, Cardinal
Gibbons. President Mitchell, Mayor'
Kirkdall and Father Curran.
John Mitchell, in introducing the
President, made a long defence of trade
unionism. The President then spoke as
follows:
PREISIDENT'S ADDRESS.
I am particularly glad to speak to
I this audience of miners and their wives
and children .and especially to speak
under the auspices of this great tern
perance society. In our country the
happiness of al lthe rest of our people
depends most of all upon the welfare
o fthe wage-worker and the welfare of
the farmer. If we can secure the wel
fare of these two classes we can be
reasonably certain that the cmmunity
as a whole will prosper. And- we mast
never forget that the chief factor in
securing the welfare alike of wage
worker and of farmer. as of everybody
else, must be the man himself.
The only effective way to help aay
body is to help him help himself. There
are exceptional times when any one of
us neds outside help, and then it
should be given freely: but normally
each one of us must depend upon his
own exertions for his own -uccess.
Something can be done by wise legisla
tion and by wise and honest adminis
tration of the laws; that is, something
can be done by our action taken in our
collective capacity through the State
and nation.
INDIVIDUAL 'MAN PARAM10UNT.
Something more can be done by com
bination and organization among our
selves in our private capacities as citi
zens. so long as this combination or
organization is managed with wisdom
and integrity. ,vith instance upon the
rights of those benefited and yet with
just regard for the rights of others.
But in the last analysis the factor
most influential in determining any
man's success must ever be the sum
of that man's own qualities, of h'is
knowledge, foresight, thrift and r
age. Whatever tends to increase his
sef-respect, whatever tends to help him
overcome the temptations with which
all of us are surrounded. is of benefit,
not only to him, but to the whole com
munity.
No one society can do more to help
the wage-worker than such a temper
anee society as that which I am now
addressing. It is of incalculable con
sequence to the man himself that he
should be sober and temperate. and it
Is of even more consequence to his wife
and his children: for it is a hard and
cruel fact that in this life of ours the
sins of the man are often visited most
heavily upon those whose welfare
should be his one special care.
THE~ DRUNKARD'S FAMILY.
For the drunkard, for the man who
loses his job because he cannot control
or will not control his desire for liquor
and for vicious pleasure. we have a
feeling of anger and contempt mixed
with our pity: but for his unfortunate
wife and little ones we feel only pity,
and that of the deepest and tenderst
kind.
-Everything possible should be done
to encourage the growth of that spirit
of self-respect, self-restraint, self-re
liance, which, if it only grows enough,
is certain to make all those in whom it
shows itself move steadily upward to
ward the highest standard of American
citizenship. It is a proud and respon
sible privilege to be citizens of this
great self-govrerning nation: and each
of us needs to keep steadily before his
eyes the fact that he is wholly unfit to
take part in the work of governing
others unless he can first govern him
self. He must stand up manfully for
his own rights; he must respect the
rights of others: he must obey the law,
anl he must try to live up to those
rules of righteousness which are above
and behind all laws.
This applies just as much to the man
of great wealth as to the man of small
means: to the capitalist as to the wage
worker. And as one practical point.
let me urge that in th eevent of any
difficulty, especially if it is what isf
known as a labor trouble, both sides
should show themselves willing to
meet, willing to consult. and anxious
each to treat the other reasonably and i
fairly, each to look at the other's side
of th'e case and to do the other justice.
If only this course could be generally
folloed, the chance of industrial dis
aster woulrd be minimized,

SOTI CAROLINA CROP BULLETIN
Weather Conditions Given Out by the
Department Observer.
The South Carolina section of the
climate and crop service of the De
partment of Agriculture issues the
following official bulletin of. weather
and crop conditions for the past
week:
The mean temperature for the week
ending S a. n. August 7th was slight
Iv below normal. but the week end
ai with excessive heat. The extremes
were a maximum of 9S degrces at Co
lumibia on the 6th. and a minimum of
60 degrrees at Greenville on the 2nd
and at King-stree on the 3rd. The
Irevailig clear nights were favor
able for rapid radiation causig con
siderable complaint of the nights hav
ini been too cool for vegetation. al
th'ough not unusually low. The days
were clear and hot. Winds were cen
erally light. There were no amagues
reported from storms. hail -r .oods.
The greater portion of the State
was without rain. A beneticial rain
on the 4th covered the ter itury froin
Oconee county to Cherokee and a
portion of York but did not extend
ea tward beyond the Piedmont zee
tion. The extreme southern portion
had rain on the 6th. The drought
is severe a'id injurious to crops over
the western and central couielts and
over practically all the Savannah riv
er valley couties, but the need of
rain is felt over practically the en
tire State.
The weather was favorable for cul
tivation and laying by crops which
work is practieally tinished
With the exception of good reports
from the coast counties where cot
ton is improvin'g, there seems to have
been a general deterioration in the
condition of cotton over the whole
State due to the plants turning yel
young bolls, and to rusts which is
now widely prevalent. Reports of
damage by insects continue but are
opeening generally over the southern
counties and in places. picking will
be active next week. The first. bale
was ginned on the first of
Auxgust. The 12 year average of
first bales is Akugust 6th; the earliest
was July 2Sth 1196. the latest Au
gust 20th, 1895.
The dry weather is injurious to
late corn, especially that portion now
in the tasselling stage. Tobacco cur
inz is nearly fiiished. with the late
crop better than the early one. Ear
ly riee is heading and harvesting will
begin the latter part of the ionth.
Minor crops are (oirz tairly Well;
except pastures and gardens, but all
need rain.
BeltonPower Company's Plant.
Chandler, Greenville County, Spe
cial.-At Holliday's bridge, four
miles from Belton, six miles from
Honea Path. and 12 miles from Wil
liamston, there is being constructed
a power plant, the importance and
size of whie'L are unknown to the gen
eral public. The builders are men
who have no reason to advertise for
subscribers to capital stock, and this
in a measure accounts for the far
that practically nothinle has b)een said
about the dIevelopmlent in the news
papers. A dam has just been comn
pleted. 32 feet in heizht. S feet in
thickness at the top with the proper
thickness at the base for such a struc
ture. It is near 600 feet long, and will
turn the entire current of Saluda
river into the canal that is beingz
dug. This canal, nearly -haJf a mile
in length, looks almost like a huge
river bed itself. The power that will
be developed by means of this cur
ren of water will be tremedous bit
for the present only a portion of it
wil be tutilized. Three imme~nse water
wheels will be placed in positionl in
the power house. Oil which work is
rapidly proceeding. andl 4,000 horse
~ower will be developed at once.
thugh~ tis is not lby any means the
full amount of power that will be

men. women and children met death.
Twelve hours' frantie work on the part

in sight at a late hour, but many hours

A clock found in the derbis had stop

when the crash came.
The best a!count of the event that
probably caused the ruin is given by
the head of the croekery. glass and
lrug department, which occupies the
basement.
"The workmen were sawing at a
wooden floor b'*am," said he, "which
runs underneath one of the central pil
lars in the middle of the store. Exra

everal pieces of glassware slid off on
o the floor with a crash.
"I yelled to my clerks to run for

it out of my mouth when there came
i creaking an-I everything around us

lowever, and I think every one in my
lepartment escaped, as well as the
workmen."
The pillar which drew away support
d the ends of two giant girders, and
when it fell, the main support of the
entral part of the building was gone.
X.ith a noise that could be heard blocks

rinding down. into this cavern fell
cores of employes who were working
n the four floors above and lacked the
warning which ehabled those in the
asement to escape. Some, however.
were apprized of the danger by falling
plaster and saved themselves by rush

are escape in the rear.
Clouds of dust which shot out of the
'ront entrance caused those outside to
elieve that the store was afire, and
