The State Democratic Executive
Committee meets next Tuesday, to
take steps for the reorganization of
the party for the approaching campaign.
It is said that Roscoe Conkling received
$30,000 for his services as counsel
iti the Broadway railway scandal.
Xo wonder he does not wish to go
back to the Senate.
It is stated thac Kepresentative
Scott, of Pennsylvania, will be made
chairman of the Congressional campaign
committee, to serve in place of
Senator Gormau, who refused re-elec'
tion.
Major W. H. Brawley is said to
be a caudidate for Congress in the
Charleston district, against Mr. Dibble.
4f that is to be the fight?Hurrah
for Dibble!? Greenville News.
Three cheers for Brawley !
The prisoners who are charged with
the murder of Chris. Lee, who was
killed in the Columbia church war,
have been admitted to bail in the sum
of $1,200, to be secured by two or
more good sureties.
The committee in charge of the

ducted at Gen. Grant's tomb, have
been assured that President Cleveland
and a number of his Cabinet will at
tend the ceremonies.
The Postoffice Department, in response
to a request from the residents
of three small hamlets in Tennessee,
to suggest names for their newly established
postoffices, has selected the following,
which have been accepted:
"Mikado," "Yum Yam," and "Nanki
Poo."
It has been stated that the friends |
of the two candidates for Governor of
Georgia have agreed to discontinue tbe
joint discussions, as these might lead to
personal feelings, which would be
greatly regretted by the friends of
both men. From the present outlook
it seems a good field for a dark horse
to enter.
, Large quantities of dynamite have
been found in different parts of the
city of Chicago. Gas pipe loaded and
prepared for immediate use have been
found under the sidewalks. The Anarchists,
it is thought, had placed the
stuff there, fearing that their houses
might be searched, when they expected
to make it warm for the searchers.
We would again ask special attention
to the call of Mr. T. S. Brice for
a meeting of farmers here on Monday j
rfext. The farmers' movement, to have j
any effect for good, must be a general j
movement, backed by the great body |
of the farmers. If it is to include
only the politicians and the placehunters,
it will amount to very little
at all.
representative meeting next Monday.
Ox the authority of the New York
World the Augusta Chronicle publishes
the rumor of Secretary Lamar's
coming marriage to a Georgia lady as
confirmed bv a disoatch from Wash- ,
ington. "The date for the ceremony
has not yet been announced, but it is
rumored that Mr. Lamar will take his
vacation and honeymoon at the same,
time. In addition to having won a
charming woman, the Secretary secures
an heiress?one of the wealthiest ladies
in Georgia,"
The thirty-second annual session of t
the Grand Lodge of Good Templars
met in Richmond, Ya., on Tuesday
last. There was a good attendance of
delegates and the Order seems to be in
a flourishing condition. Daring the
past year 284 new lodges have been
formed, and 11,463 members added to
the Order. The present membership
amounts in round nnmbers to about
three hundred thousand. The membership
is rapidly increasing, and the
officers of the Order presented very
encouraging reports. *
. The following interesting statistics
shows the result of the strikes in our
country this spring:
Bradstreet's reports that though
250,000 men have been on a strike in
this country at one time or another
since April 24, there were at no time
more than 125,000 employes out, and
that this number fell to 80,000 between
May 12 and May 17, and to about
48,000 by May 20. The heaviest losses
qy the strike were from delayed or
cancelled contracts, and the building
K trades suffered most. The total loss
on building1 contracts in ten cities is
estimated at $20,400,000.
Senator Bctler has replied at
length to the letter of Prof. R. Means ;
Davis, Chairman of the Executive'
Committee of the Free Trade Assoeia- i
tions, promising his influence and co- j
operation in the grand work of reliev-!
ing our people from a burdensome
war tax. In concluding his article, he
says:
Is there patriotism enough in the !
country to reduce this war taxation i
and relieve the taxpayers of these
unnecessary burdens? We shall see,
and I rely confidently on the efforts of
your association to contribute largely
to that end.
The gossips were much outdone by
the announcement on Saturday that;

A detective who, for the purpose
of having' a conversation with Maxwell,
the murderer of Preller, forced
a note on one of the Si. Louis hanks,
accomplished hi-= mi>*iou, and was put
in the ceil next to that of Maxwell's.
He succeeded in gaining the confidence
or the murderer and got from him a
confessions in detail of the brutal
crime he had committed. The detective
was in the employ of tlie district
attorney, and forged t'no note to accomplish
ju^t what he did. From tiis evidence
it is prettv certain that Maxwell
will pay the penalty of his crime with
his life.
The Congress of Churches which
met at Cleveland, Ohio, on Tuesday,
is said to be a small body, but most of
the prominent theologians of the country
were present. The following denominations

The Board or Directors of the I
Mason Cotton Harvester Company \
have instituted suit, against Owen T.
Ba<rg and the United States Cotton
Harvester Company for infringmcnt
upon their patents. The action is
brought for an injunction and damages
011 the ground that after a full hearing
by patent office officials the patent was
issued to Mr. Mason. Since that time
Owen T. Bugg has organized a company
with a million dollars capital
and is offering stock in the company
all over the country. Several of the
rights of the Mason Company have
been infringed upon after the fuil
hearing of the case in the patent office.

A leading exchange, says the Bos- \

action. Tne JS ulletin further says
that abouL forty per cent, of the work
offered tha architects during the past
week is mow hung ui> in their offices.
The colli pse of the strikes will cau-c
some of this to be proceeded with, but
the more extensive building plans will
be postponed until next year, lor the
reason that they could not now t)e advanced
far enough to get the lathing
and plastering done before the winter.
?so.ut: OTTTTtTpapers appears to "have
confounded our deprecation of the
seeming use of the farmers' movement
to help Mr. George D. Tillman to be
elected Governor, with an expression
of the opinion that the Congressman
is not a proper person to be Governor.
No such opinion has yet been expressed
iu these columns. Wedo think, though,
that a far better choice couid most
easily be made. We shall, of course,
heartily support Mr. Tillman if he be
nominated lor uovernor. ?>ut tnere j
are other gentlea)en in the State who
have abilities quite equal to tno^e of
Mr. Tillman, and who are better calculated
to inspire enthusiastic support
instead of mere dutiful acquiescence.
The latter would be all that Mr. Tillman
deserves.
"We rather think that were Mr. Tillman
going to be Governor, we could
not prevent that event. All we mean
to say now is that the papers who have
twisted our views heretofore expressed,
into an avowal of hostility to Congressman
Tillman, have simply "kicked
beiore they were spurred".
The following statement of the condition
of European affairs shows that
they are in a very unsettled condition,
and that it is not only possible but
probable that it will end in war. A
leading exchange says:
"Enrotifian affairs .ire fhrnsfinc (hem
selves once move inlo the foreground.
The Czar's war-threatening speech, the
Bulgarian conspiracy against Prince
Alexander, with its Russian complications,
and the Turco-Greck collisions,
reported, contradicted and filially af- '
firmed, all combine to create a strong .
impression among personages familiar
with the secret springs of European
action that the vear 18SG will end in a
great war, possibly the greatest of the
century. The.Czar's speech is especially
noteworthy. Read between the
lines it gives expression to a feeling of
profound wrath at the gradual slipping
away of the Christian population in i
the southea-t from Russian irrasp. The !
(,'zar se?'s the traditional policy of the j
empire imperilled and the authority of!
Russia defied by the principalities tor
which the last Turkish war was fought
and so much blood and treasure expended.
Though for the moment a
peace has been patched up, ;he near j
future is pregnant with terrible possibilities.
Our esteemed contemporary the
reics and Courier, of the 2Gth ult.,
strikes the keynote of the depression |
of the country when it says:
The trouble is, not so much that I
farming in South Carolina docs not j
pay, but that the farmer himself pavs i
so liberally, so loosely, and with so !
little regard tor consequences?which j
are none the less sure and destructive j
for not being considered beforehand. |
A pledge of twenty-five percent, of:
the cotton crop to meet advances means j
one-fourth of the crop given away
before tiie crop is made: The remaining
threc-fonrths must pay every item
of the cost of production, other than

whatever profit he can extract from so j
narrow a margin. The only wonder j
is that he ever makes a profit under j
such a system. The words of Com-1
rnissioner Dodge, of the agricultural
department, in regard to the burden I
which the familiar and fatal mortgage j
binds upou the shoulders of nearly
every farmer who adopts this means
of raising money, are well worth quot- '
? ^ ? WBWB?IM a?
ing, and their truth will be recognize
by every fanner in the South. II
says:
"It (the mortgage) is a blessin
when it enables a poor but industrior
younsr man to secure a home and
profitable business and to pay for it i
sure and easy instalments; it is
withering curse when it makes pr
clnc'ion dear and difficult, consumes
crop before it is made, and rendu
inucbte'lncfs hopeless."

Tiie origin of the human race h;
been a question which has received r
little attention at the hands of tl
General Assembly of the Prcsbyterk
Church which has been in session :
Augusta for several days. The que
tion of evolution has been a theme i
contest between different members <
the Presbyterian Church for some tin
past, and its discussion bv the highc
court of the church naturally attrac
a good deal of attention The who
matter was referred to a committee
the Assembly and on their report can
squarely before the Assembly in A
gusta a few days ago. Majority at
minority reports were made, and up<
these reports the whole matter w
discussed. Dr. Woodrow, as ti
champion of the evolution theor
made a strong address before the A
sembly on Monday, in which he a
tempted to show the position which 1
occupies, and that it is not in the lea
inconsistent with the teachings of ti
Bible. Both sides agree that man w
made of dust, but whether it was i
instantaneous process or he became
man through a long course of cvol

a matter of fact the question is sogre
that none can comprehend it. Xoo

The theory of evolution which D
Wood row ha> been condemned f
teaching was substantially explain*
by that gentleman in an address bofo
the Alumni Association of theColui
bia Theological Seminary, May
1SS-1. In that address Dr. Woodro
said that the origin of a thing in:
imply either that it came into existcn
just as it is, or that it passed through
series of changes from a previous sta
in order to reach its ^resent conditio
He found nothing in the liible whi<
contradicts the belief that God imm
diately brought into existence eav
independently; or that contradicts ti
beiief that, having originated one or
tew forms, He caused all others
spring from these in accordance wil
laws which lie ordained and maki
operative.
After exhaustively reviewing li
scientific records, Or. Woodrow die
the following conclusions:
In view of all the. facts now pr
sented?the way in which animals ha\
succeeded each other, beginning as f;
back ns we can ?o, and coming dow
to the present; the series of rescn
blances which connect them from tl
lowest to the highest, exhibiting sue
remarkable unity of plan; the exi
tence of rudimentary organs; the ge<
graphical distribution of animals, an
the close connection of that distribi
tion now and in the past; in view (
ail these facts the doctrine of descei
with modification, which so perfect!
accords with them all, cannot be ligh

my part I cannot but so regard them
and the more tally I become acquainte
with the facts of which I have give

1L' IVJsat i* Cheat? (
h I
ie There has been considerable discus10
sion lately among our farmers on ac- i
yf c junt of ilie ditiering opinions as to :
u. what chcal was and whether it was a
^ separate and distinct grain, or was J
u simply defective wheal. As to what
it is and what was its origin is a question
upon which our best farmers ;
to widely differ. Some are of theopin- <
ion that it is simply wheat which from '
some cause failed to grow with the .
JS regular grain, while others hold to the
io opinion that it is a separate grain not j
akin to wheat. The whole question is
in fully discussed bvthe botanist of the
at T'nitcfl AoriiMiltnral Denart- 1
s" ment in reply to a ietter from a large
of grain grower of Illinois, inquiring for ,
?f information in regard to it. The first
1C question asked by the correspondent
st is whether wheat under any circulate
stances will change to cheat. To this
'e the botanist (in report of the Agricul?f
tural Department of 1883) replies that
under no circumstances will wheat
n* change to clic.it. To substantiate his
>d opinion the botanist says that why it
>n conies up so abundantly in wheat fields
as is thai there is always more or less
^e cheat growing in wheat fields and as a
}'? | necessary conscquence there is always
s* some growing from self-seeding. As
f-- a consequence of its growing in wheat
fields, and being cut with the wheat,
st there is always more or less cheat seed
lie i in the wheat. It is a hardier plant
as | than the wheat and cold winters will
-in j not kill it out, where it will completely
a | freeze out the wheat. It grows more
u- j vigorously and will "sloat out" what
vs may Have been left of the "Wheat.
at: In reply to the question, what is
ne | cheat? the botanist says that cheat.has
in | a well-known botanical name. It
rt'. I belongs to the genus JJromus, and is
ut [ nearly related to the Fescue grass, and
ill i is not closely related to any of the
vc common cereals. There are about
no ' forty spccics of Bronnis in different
i parts of the world, and the species
i common!v known as cheat is Bromus
'C- 1 "
; sccalinus. The difference between I
^'e ; this specie and wheat is very great and |
t0 j a change of one to the other would be |
.ce I a great violation of the laws of nature,
| and would be without a parallel either
1 (in the animal or vegetable kingdom.
1K^ In concluding his reply nc says that it
lC is a separate and distiller cereal, and
' 1 i thai it would be just as proper to claim
15 ; thai a sparrow would change to <t

Neu- York painter, entered suit in tin
local United States Court against i
number of Knights of Labor for dam
ages for overt acts tending to injur*
his business.
The licv. Sam Jones has modified
hi* views upon base ball, and now
admits that it is a healthful and harm
less sport in itself, and only become:
objectionable when it is made theoeca
sion of betting and the like. Tin
national game and the struggle lor tin
pennant may now proceed.
The General Assembly of th<
Knights of Labor began its session a
Cleveland, Ohio, on the m.irnin<r o
presented a partial report embodying
a number of propositions, one of which
was taken up. The first propositioi
was in effect that the executive boarc
should be increased from live to elevei
members.
The House committee on territorie.'
has decided to report favorably a bil
to admit the whole of Dakota as i
State. The Senate has already passec
adversely upon that proposition. The
friend? of the Senate bill in the Hous<
claim to have strength enough to pas;
the Senate bill.
The bill has been favorably reporter
to the Semite to make Lake Bovne the
outlet to improve the low water navigation
of the Mississippi river frotr
New Orleans to Cairo, and incidentally
reclaim and protect the ValJej
lands of the Mississippi river and it;
tributaries from overllow.

as if conceived by a madman.
Yet I am sure that Mr.' Gladstone
beiieves that he is only doing justice
and acting for the good of all. I consider
that he is making one of those
mistakes only made by great and well

A dispatch from the United States
Minister at Persia, F. II. Winston, to
Secretary Bayard, dated May 24,
announces that Thomas Stevens, the
correspondentof Outing,who is making
the tour of the world on a bicycle, was
Hivnfwl liOftr nn tho frrmtifM* of Affhnn
istan, and has been forced to retrace
his steps to Constantinople. From
here lie will seek to work his way
through India. This will make a very
much longer journey for him, but
from the spirit which he has shown
there is little reason to doubt the
success of his trip, provided he be not
mad'1 the victim of a mob.
A noted statesman, in speaking of
the relations of the President and his
Secretary of State, said the people of
rhis country do not rightly appreciate
r >m Bayard and his relations to the
President. They think the two arc
wide apart, when in reality they are
jlosev together than any other memlers
of the Administration. President
Cleveland asks Bayard's advice very
j ft on and he counsels with him as to
n-ttcrs both in and out of his departneut.
Tom Bayard stands as well iu
Delaware as ever, and the people there
:hink he is a great man. lie has his
^resent position by the force 'of his
miinsand notbv his family, though I
suppose that heij)5 him a little. His
rreatest lack is personal magnetism,
[f he had this he would be one of the
nost popular of the noted men of the
lay. fie is too much wrapped up in
,vork to be a good fellow socially.
