Dr. Talmage, who is now sceedng scions the Pacific to Honolalo on his round the world journey, has selected as the subw feet for serrsocic discourse through the press today "The Exoited Coveraor," ? A-?4 Ante Yviv. 25l LUC tCAO ucuig uutu uvui "Felix trembled, and answered: Go thy way lor this time. When I have a convenient season, I will call tor thee." A city of m3rbie was Csesarea?wharves ot marble, houses ot marble, temples of marble. This being the ordinary architecture of the place, ycu may imagine something of the splendor ol Governor Felix's residence. In a room of that palace, floor tessellated, windows curtained, celling fretted, the whole scenc afflaent with Tyrian purple and statues and pictures and carvings, sat a very dark complexioned man ot the name of Felix, and Desice Dim a wcehiui Ui I Etraordlnary "beauty, whom he had stolen by breaking ud another domestic circle. She was only 18 yetrs of age. a princess by birth and unwittingly wailing for her doom?that of beins buried alive in the ashes and score of Mount Vesuvius^ which in sudden eiuption one day put an end to her abominations. Well, one afternoon Drusilla, seated in the palace, weary with the ma^ificent stopidities of the place, says to Felix: "You have a very distinguished prisoner, I believe, of the came of Paul. Do you know he is one of my countrymen? I should very much like to see him. and I shoeld very much like to hear Kim oruaot fSr T h?v% heard so much about his elcqueDce. Besides that, the other day, when he was being tried in another room of this place and the windows were open, I heard Ice applause that greeted the speech of Lawyer Tertallu3 as he denounced Paul. Now I very much wish I could hear Paul speak. Won't you let me hear him speak?" k*Yes," eaid Felix, "I will. I will order him up now from the guardroom." Clank, clank, comes a chain up the marble stairway, and there is a sbuffis at the door, and in comes Paul, a little old man, prematurely old through exposure ?onlv GO vears of age, but looking as . - - ? w though he we:e 80. He bows very courteously before the governor and the beautifal woman by hi* side. They cay: "Paul, we have heard a great deal ab?ut jcur speaking. Give us now a specimen ot vour eloquence." Oh, if there ever was a cbance of a man to show off, Paul had a chance there! He might have harangued them about Grecianart, atcut the wonderful waterworks he had sern at Corinth, about the Acropolis by moonlight, about prison life in Phiiippi, about "what I saw in Thessalonica," about the old mythologies, but ^No!" Paul said to himself. "I am now on the way io martyrdom, and this man and woman will soon be dead, and this is my only opportunity to talk to them about the things of eternity. And jest there and then there broke in upon the scene a peal of thunder. It was the voice of a judgment day speaking through the words of the decrepit apostle. As ihat graod old missionary proceeded with his remarks the stoop begins to go out of his shoulders, and he rises up, and his countenance is illumined with the glories of a future life, and his shackles rattle and grind as he lifts bin fettered arm, and with it hurls upon his abashed auditors tbe bolts of God's iadignatien. Felix grew ve::y white about the lips. His heart beat unevenly. He put his band to his brow, as though to stop the quickness and violence of his thoughts. He drew his robe tighter about him as under a sudden chill. His eyes glare, and his knees shake, and as he clutches the side of his chair in a very paroxysm of terror he orders the sheriff to take Paul back to the guardroom. "Felix trembled and said: Go thy way for this time. When I h^ve a conven lent season, I will call for thee." A young man came one night to cur service,'with pencil in hand, to caricature the whole scene and make mirth ot those who should express any acxiety about their soul3, but I met him at tne door, his tace very white, tears running down his cheek, as he said, "Do you think there is any chance for me?" Felix trembled, and so may God gram it may be so with others. I propose to give ycu two cr three reasons why I think Felix sent Paul back to the guardroom and adjourned this whole subiectof religion. The first rea son was he did not want to give up his sins. He looked around. There was Drusilla. He knew that when he became a Christian he must send her back to Az!zu3, her lawlul husband, and he said to himself, "I will risk the destruction of my immortal sou! sooner than I will do that." How many there are now who cannot get to be Christians because they will not abandon their sins! In vain all their prayers and all their church going. You cannot keep these darlmg sms and win heaven, and now some of ycu will have to decided between the wine cup and unlawful amusements and lascivious gratifications on the one hand, and eternal Balvation on the other. Dalilah sheared the locks of Samson; Salome danced Herod into the pit; Drusilla blocked up the way to heaven for Felix. Yet when I present the subject now, I fear that some of yen will sa>: "Not quite yet. Don't be so precipitate in your demands I ttsrra o fonr VBt thftfc T hftVB lO a. u?,v u j use. I have a few engagements that I must keep. I want to stay a little longer in the whirl of conviviality?a few csere sufiaws of unclean laughter, a few more steps on the road to death, and then, sir, i will listen to what you say. 'Go thy way for this time. When I have a. convenient season, I will call for thae.,?' Another r*?ar.n whv Feliy Rcnfc Paul back to the guardroom and adjourned this subject was lie was; so very busy. In ordinary times he i^uad the affairs of state absorbing, but those were extraordinary times. The whole land was ripe for insurrection.

Aud vet and yet and yet you wave him back to the guardroom, saying: "Go thy way for this time. When I have a convenient, season, I will call for thse." AgaiD, Felix adjourned this subject of religion and put oil' Paul's argument because he could not give up the honors of the world. Jde was'airaia someuuw uc would be compromised himself ia this matter. R?mark3 he made afterward showed him to be intensely ambitious. Oh, how he husrged the favor of men! I Eever saw the honors of this world in t'ueir hcJiowness and hypocrisy so much as in the life and death of that wonderful man, Charles Sumner.

When I see a man like that, pursued by all the hounds of the political kennel so long as he lives and then buried under a great pile- of garlands and amid the lamentations of a whole nation, I say to myself: Whit an unutterably hypocritical thing i3 all human applause and human favor!

'Go thy way for this time. When I have a convenient season, I will call for thee!' " And now my subject takes a deeper tone, and it shows what a dangerous thing is this deferring of religion. When Paul's chain rattled down the marble ofotra nf "CVliv thftf. was "Felix's last chance lor heaven. Judging from his character afterward, he was reprobate and abandoned. And so was Drusilla. One day in southern Italy there was a trembling of the earth, and the air got black with smoke intershot with liquid rocks, and Vesuvius rained upon Drusilla and upon her son a horrible tempest ot ashes and fire. They did not reject religioo; they only put it off. They did not understand that that day that that hour when Paul stood before them, wa3 the pivotal hour upon which every thing was poised, and that it tipped the wrong way. Their convenient season came when Paul and his guardsman entered the palace?it went away when Paul and his guardsman left. Have you never seen men waiting for a convenient seasoo? There i3 such a great facmation about it that, though you may have sreat resosct to the truth of Chri3t, yet somehow there is your soul the thought: "Xot quite yet. It is not time for me to become a Christian." I say to a boy, "Sspk Christ." He savs, *;No; wait nutil lam a young man." I say to the vouu2 man, ''Seek Christ." He says, "Wait uutii I come to midlife." I meet the same person in midlife and I say, "Ssek Christ." He says, "Wait until I set old." I meet the same person in old age and say to him, "Seek Christ." He says, t;Wait uatil I am on ray dying bed." I am called to his dying couch. His last moments have come. I bend over the ccuch and listen for his last words. I have partially to guess what ihey arc by the motion, ot bis lips, be is so feeble, but rallying bimseif, be whispers, until I can hear hf.m. say, ''I?urn ?wailing?for?a?more? ccnvcnien t? season," and he is gone! I lell you wben your convenient season will ccme.

Do you ask me howl kGOw this is jcur convenient seasoo? I know it because you are here, ard because they are here, and because the Holy Spirit is here, and because the elect sons and daughters of God sre praying for your redemption. Ah, I know it is your convenient season. .: bteause some jou, like Felix, trembie ps yourpasL life comes up?n you with its 8:ii and &li the future life comes upon you with its lerrcr.

The Jacksonville Times-Union which has no use for Governor Tillman politically, in a recent issue gives the Gov' * *4 ernor creuib iur sayiug twv i/uiu^a an the immigration convention at Augusta, that every community in the South should think about and act upon. Th e Times-Union says "the Governor is quoted by the Associated Tress dis| patches as saying that it was well ! enough to invite people and capital ' from the outside, and all that cam e would be welcome; but for every dollar of outside capital the Southern people must expend tea of their own, if they were in earnest about desiring to build up the South. That the future of this An fho nf Anr? SC^IIUU va uu& va v*. vu* own people, and what the Southern farmer needs most is an immigration of ideas and intelligent agricultural methods. That Southern farmers would never prosper as long as they spend six months in Killing grass in their fields , and the next six in buying hay from Maine and Northern States. Like many other speakers Governor Tillman exaggerated for the sake of giving emphasis to his ideas. It is not necesasr for the Southern people to spend ten dollars of their own money to obtain one of foreign capital for a Southern investment but it Is necessary that they should invest some of their own money in any undertaking for which they hop'e to get outside support. An undertakl ing that does not show enough home I confidence to secure a reasonable back ing from the men in whose midst it is to be established will not be likely to command much foreign support. On this line the South should take this advice from Gov. Tillman: If you wish todca tbiDg commence it yourselves, and don't ask for outside help until you show you are in earnest. As to the farmers of the South many of them have already learned the lesson that Governor Tillman recommended for their study. They are already rapidly making the South the home of diversified agriculture, and their success shows that the advice is good. The other lesson from Governor Tillman we com- ! mend, especially to the people of Jack- ; sonville. He declared that he had no Dlan of his own, but that he had come to the congress to put his shoulder ot any wneei mat started in tae rignt direction, and to do all in his power to check anything starting wrong. Hehad no pet scheme of his owl), but was ready to cooperate earnestly in any that promised to accomplish the objects of the immigration movement. >Vhat a city we could make of Jacksonville if all of our leading men would put a shoulder to any wheel that started in the right direetion?that 13 if they would put their shoulders on the right side of the wheel. The trouble is, we have too many men who put their shoulders to the wheel to push backward movement. Governor' Tillman's suggestions were good, and the people of Jacksonville would do well to profit by them, without stopping to inquire i where they came from." Heterozeneoas Democracy. The Columbia State is thoroughly disgusted with the action of the State Democratic Executive Committee in receiving the Weaverite3 back into the party. "As the Democratic party of South Carolina stands today all white men, whether Democrats Republicans or Populists, have equal rights in it" it says: In answer :o which the Greenville News truly says: "Why, that has been the case in South Carolina since 1876. Every white man has been virtually counted as a Democrat. We have had high tariff and low tariff men, paper money and gold basi3 men, r?f all IrindA and varipf.ips nf nn. ywv^*v V* Vf4* v??V. , r.? litical belief. The men who voted for MeLane, the greenback candidate for GoverLor, in 1883 were admitted back into the party without a word of protest. In Greenville county, we know, and probably in other counties men who are Republicans in all their political principles have called themselves Democrats and have been sctive in local party affairs as Democrats; while others who were declared Republicans have been voting, regularly in the Democratic primaries. It Is a bold attempt to ignore patent conditions and psst history to contend that the white men of the State cannot divide up on enconomical policies and national issues and come together again on the great overshadowing issue ia the state." The Rev. Andrew Jackson Potter has announced himself a candidate for sheriff and tax collector of Tom Green County, Texas. He will be remembered as the gentleman who created considerable excitement several years ago by rising in his pulpit in Uvalde, Texas, with two big six shooters in his hands and informed the audience, mostly composed of the toughest of toughs and who bad run many other ministers out of the town, that if there was anybody in the audience who had the audacity to assume that he could put mm OUl OI sue puipio iu ate]/ iwiou auu take his medicine, and wound up by sayicg that with the help of God and those two forty-fives he proposed to preach to the people that day.

He beiran by stating that angels had no ancestry and ihey knew nothing Ot the family relation. ssx, matrimony and children are tuman and do not be? long to &Q2ei3, Thev do not know anythir-sr ot the blessedness of childhood. Earth a^d Heaven are the only places illumined by tl e radiant smiles ofintancy.Ch'ldhuod i3 a divine arrangement arid has hsen distinctly and emphatically recos[n:z5d bv God in ail the great epochs of the world'3 bistory. It our first parents bad ret lined their sinless integrity all perfections would have been transmitted to their posterity through endless ases and a detection from original purity would have been impossible. This grand opportunity was lost and thus the curse was entailed on posterity and depravity Lor.k noasession of the race. But human exigency is the divine opportunity. Re-1 peatance, regeneration and sanctification are the remedial exeedieata by which God sought to redeem the race. One half of the human race cies before reaching the a?e of five. Many of the otheis pass away before they reach the years of accountability. S? a majority of the race is tranferred to the paradise of God and Heaven is peopled largely with children. The death of each infant is a defeat to Satan. If ihe presence of the gleeful glorified children ?ladden the streets and mansions of the New Jerustiiem how fearfully dreary, doleful and desolate must be Satan's dominions, where childhood never can enter. Parents sometimes charge God foolishly when their children are taken away but these little oaes did not live in vain. T'l-ia-t? Vio^ <hoir nhiwork.

Delicate chords are touched into harmony by iin7 fiagers where they would not respond to the rude eweep ot older bands. The gay, frivolous society woman is of:en brought to herself by the death of her child. A common grief and a common tie in Heaven binds parents closer together here on ear',h. Children are leaders towards the Kingdom of God. Let not everything be attributed to the preacher. bcok3, the press, because thousands are led to a higher and better ?~V.

In tbe first epoch of the world's history the means of salvation included tbe childron, for Noah failed to save the world from thefbod, buthe,saved all his own family. Then came the grand opportunity of the race, mt Noah fell and his posterity was exposed to ravages of sin. Tbe second epoch was when Abraham was called to become tbe founder cf a great nation and tbe promise was to him and bis children. Thev were included in the covenant as often as it was repeated. "" ' * *' 1 ^ ^ JlQ IQS IQira cpjyu cruu Luuiuiauucu Moses to keep the children of Israel a separate and distinct people. Special Instructions were given as to the trainiDg of children. In this school the Israelites were kept with fortunes tor,1 500 years, when the last great epcch was ushered in by the birth of tte Saviour, who co> secrated childhood forever by His birth in the manger at Bethelehem. In all His teaching He was especially coniderate of litte children. In all these leading epochs the spiritual agencies were directed to childhood. At any given time the majority of the race is joung. In this majority mere are those who will live the longest time and exercise the greatest itflaence. W hen one seeks to instruct children they are dealing with those who are to be* coxe the most important factors in working out the world's destiny. The mind of children 13 receptive, the conscience is tender, vicious habits have not been formed, and it i3 easier to plant good seeds which will vield abua.Iantly good fruits. Childhood offers aatural an/? constitutional facilities for the op eratloh of the spirit of God. Children are imitative and gladly follow others. They are curious and'are always ready to demand the reason for things. They never doubt and their faith is strong until they are deceived. This is the formative period when character is fixed. The impressions of childhood are more lasting than thope made later in life. Tbe mother's smiles and cradle songs will all come up to the aged when they are descending the dark valley. Mothers write with indelible ink. Archimedes believed he could move the world if he had a place to stand and a rest for his ful crura. Childhood is the luicrom ana eternal truth is the leyer, and by this a fallen world can be lifted back into the bosom of its God. Feathf rinjE His Nest.

P01QL 01 View. OULLie uuaeiviug iauui reformer ia Washington has estimated that Coxey is 87,000, or more, "ahead of the hounds," in the job of leading tbe commonwealers to the city. He declares that Coxey from the day he left home has been constantly in receipt of checks, postal notes and currency from sympathizers in his movement and that very little of this money has been expended on-his followers, who have lived off the country, but has been put where it would do Coxey individually the most good. At first Coxey took special pains to have published the contributions to his cause with the omnrrnf r\-P thoir (InnaHnns hilt. thiS very soon ceased, not because donations did not arrive, but it was not necessary from the business side to publish more than the harrowing details of the physical sufferings of his men. Xo one knows' except Coxey himself how much hr?s been donated to the army of peace. It is asserted that these contributions aggregate between ?10,000 and S12.000, of which not more than onethird is thought to have been expended on the army. This is the trouble always. The leaders of such movements as Cox8y's are always lookihg out for the main chance ar^ as long as they can fool people and lieece them iu the name of the poor they will do it, instead of going to work and earning an nonest living like the rest of us. Killing: In Birmingham. Birmingham, Ala.. June 14.?After knocking down ex-Mayor Jeffries, an aged man, P. G. Bowman shot and killed young Eugene Jeffries, the two affairs occurring only an hour apart in the Florence hotel here. About 7 p. m. P. G-. Bowman, a prominent figure in politics, wa3 in tbe Florence hotel bar drinking, when ex-Mayor Thomas Jeffries walked in. Bowman made some insulting remark; the lie was passed and Bowman knocked the old man down. Friends intercepted and the old man went his way. It was an hour later when Eugene Jeffries, a son of the ex-mayor, whom, it is said, had heard of the affair, and had expressed his intention of making Bowman apologize, walked into the bar where he was still drinking. Xo sooner had the boy opened the door than Bowman pulled a gun and fired killing Jeffries instantlv. Bowman was hurried from the scene as quickly as possible, and soon a crowd gathered whose threats were maay, and there was a likelihood of his being; lynched if a chance had offered. * A WAR ROMANCE.

June 13.?Tbe Dreparations for the trial of a laud suit which is to come up at the approaching term of the circuit court in this town ha3 revealed a singular story. Throughout the civil war this backwoods region ?Burksville Is 40 miles from the nearest railroad?was debatable ground. It was harried alike by federals and confederates, and, worse than all, by the guerillas, who claimed either flag, as it suited their convenience, and robbed the friends of both alike.

From thatvicmty they made manyraid3 through the surrounding country, and often attacked detachments of federal troops. One of the boldest and most dashing of the guerillas vas a young fellow named Jack Mason, who said he was from Tennessee. But of his family and antecedents he told his companions nrt+hinor TTo man alerirtar in fnrm anrl | UV/VUAUg? ULV If MW ?.v* w M?.v. effeminate in face and manner. But these circumstances were attributed to his extreme youth. His enterprise and bravery in battle prevented his compan| ions from commenting upon his girlish appearance. One day a "smart" skirmish between querillas and federal troops was fought Jack Mason was wounded in the shoulj der and fell from his horse. His com[ panions picked him up and carried him off with them. But he was so severely wounded that the rude surgery of the camp was not sufficient. A friendly farmer named John Orta took the wounded youth into his house, and Mrs Orth nursed him. Mason had not been in the house of the orths long before they discovered that their wounded guest was a girl in j disguise. The girl's wound, though I not serious, was painful and slow in healing. She was in bed several months and in that time a baby girl was born. When the mother became strong and well she suddenly disappeared from the home of the Orths, leaving her baby. She also left a considerable sum of money and some jewels and a note directing that they be used for the benefit of the baby. The Orths adopted the little girl, and she grew to womanhood, married a prosperous young iarmer namea maybe w, and is now the mother of two children. Maynew owned some land in this county, which he sold. Later a question of title came up and his wife was summoned as a witness. In the course of her testimony she told the strange story of her abandonment by her mother, the disguised soldier. Local newspapers printed the facts, and they were reprinted in a newspaper at Knoxville, Tenn. Recently a middle aged but good loosing woman arrived here. She said she was Mrs. John Mason, who lived near Knoxville, Tenn., and that Mrs. Mayhew was her daughter. Then she told her story. She said she was the disguised soldier, Jack Mason. She hurl rm nroav frnm her home in Ten nessee, and had married a young man against the will of her parents. Afterwards she became jelous of her husband and deserted him. Ashamed to return home she had put on men's clothes and joined the guerillas. When she left the house of the Orths, she said, she intended to return and claim her baby, but wben she reached east Tennessee she fell into ?, fever and was never afterwards able to locate the place where the Orths resided. Sbe and her husband where reunited, and they advertised extensively for the child, but heard nothing. Mrs. Mayson was overjoyed at nnaiBg her daughter, Mrs. Mayhew. A Circular to Military. Columbia, S. C\, June 13.?The following circular has been sent to the captains ot the various newly organized military companies: Executive Department. Office of the Adjut. and Inspec, General. Columbia, b. C., Jane 11th, 1894. Sir: I am instructed by the Commander-in-Chief to issue the following circular for the Information of the newly or l A._ iL. ?anized military companies, -auer me Darlinatoa riot every encouragement was given by the Governor to the organization of new companies and to ail such a promise was made that they would be armed nnd equipped as soon as possible. Owing to the policy pursued by ths Adjutant Generals during the last ten years the State has very few first class arms and there were none in stock, so that in arming new companies only those were available thatjwere taken from the companies who refused to obey the Governor's orders, and these have alrady been distributed. The rule adopted in the distribution was to arm companies in the counties where none previously existed, 2d. To leave the arms alread in a county where they were giving them to the new companies taking the place of tbe old onse. 3d. To arm those companies wh;ch came to Columbia during the not. Upwards of 100 companies have been organized and the officers commissioned, while the Adjutant General has only taken arms from about eighteen companies, thus leaving over eighty still unarmed. Tbe annual appropriation for the maintenance of the militia, ia not available lor the purchass of arms, but must be distributed prorata among the companies already in existence, which meet the requirements of the law. There is,therefore,no money at present with which to buy arms, but in I July t'le appropriation from Congress will be available for the purchase of arms and when the Legislature meets the Governor will advise an additional appropriation for the purchase of arms. The Commander-in-Chief takes this op! portunit/ of urging the companies to ! thp.msftlvea in drilliner and to i rwt4wv" ? purchase a cheap shirt or blou3e to be J used as a uniform. He will exert him | self to the utmost to arm all tae companies he has commissioned us soon as possible. By order of the Commander in?Chiel: B. L. Farley, Adjutant and Inspector Genprsl. A Disgraceful Fig he. New York, June 8? Daniel Lane, 28 years old, was sent to the island for 10 days for being drunk and disorderly. He is the son of John Lane, who died Saturday night. Mr. Lane was a retired merchant, and was worth about $40,000. He lives with his sons?Daniel and Michael?and bis daughter, Mrs. Patrick Feenev. Daniel is dissipated, Mr. Lane had been ill for a long time, Daniel was afraid that hi3 brother and sister would influence their farther to maKe a will aisinnenimg mm. anaic that his father was at death door, the young man returned home on Saturday intoxicated, and began, in a loud voice, to recount liis claims to consideration at the hands of his father. The dying man begged Daniel tr leave the house. Michael, reminding his brother that the laat sacraments of the Catholic curch had alrady been administered to the d^ins man added his entreaties to these of his I father: Daniel, snatching a candlestick, dealt Michael a blow on the head with it. I The two wrestled, and two or three I times they almost lell upon the bed in which their father lay. Michael finally caught and held his brother until a policeman came. Shortly after he had been taken |aTay Mr. Lane died. The. justice said he would be very glade to make the sentence more severe if he could, but a3 Lane's brother and sister did not appear, he could not. The pri - soner admitted tbe allegations mau<j oy the policeman, bat said his people had been trying; to influence his father against him, and had provoked him. I CO-OPERATIVE COTTON MILLSA Gen le K- inicdt-r to the People ct S nth CtroJlaft. la the current issue of the Baltimore Manufacturers' Record Mr. D. A. Tomkins, of Charlotte, one Df the most successful cotton manufacturers in that section has an interesting article on co-operation in building cotton mills. X!i?Tnr?ti'no chi-imQ hntff />nmni>nips Pflfl be organized and the money raised by weekly payments for building cotton mills in such a way as to make the organization of such companies feasible in hundreds of towns where it would be impossible to secure large subscriptiocs. In the South we have few savings banks,compared with these in the North, and we need enterprises that trill encourage the habit of saving and trMoHrfro rw?rfinn nf the n?Oilfcll7 Pftm . iur 14 UAVU VI. w**w ?. vu?M | ings of the average citizen. Building c.nd loan associations supply this want to some extent, but we need.co operative companies to push industrial enterprises* witn the capital that can easily be furnished in small weekly installments from thousands of our peeple. The success of this plan ia Charlotte speaks for itself. Mills have been built near Charlotte by subscriptions payable weekly in small sums for one, two, four and eigbt years, Due tti8 ravonte plan i3 that of paying 50 cents per week on a share for four years. At this rate 1,000 shares would make a capital of S 100.000, a sum sufficient to build a cotton mill of about 5,000 spindles, with looms enough to weave their product. Mr. Tompkins gives the following estimate for such a mill: Employees, men and boys 30 Emgloyees, women and'girls 60 Pay roil per week, about $350 JBales cotton consumed per week 20 In North Carolina the products of the different mills vary greatly. At Charlotte one mill makes warp yarns, another skein yarns doubled and twist ed, another makes both warps and skeins, another white cloth, another ginghams, another counterpanes an! towels, another stockings and knit goods. Those mills which make colored goods must have dye works. If the subscriptions to the stock of an enstallment mill are made payable at ihe rate of 50 cents per week per share, and the capital subscribed was $100,000, then in the first year the nvnnunf in trt tha onmrwnn'a trocic. auiuuuu ^/aiu iu lu ula\j wtuw v*vm*. ury would be about $25,000. With this money the buildings could be built and paid for, leaving a surplus ia the treasury. The buildings would be a main building, engine room, boiler room and hou3es or cottages for the hands to live in. In some special case.';, where the factory was to be built in a city, these houses might not be built, as the hands could find board or houses to rent near by the factory in the city. Generally speaking, however, it Is best to put a factory one to four miles away from a city, and let the company build and own tho houses the employes live in. In Charlotte no house rent is charged, the factories furnishing houses free of rent. In some other places reut is charged at the rate of SI per room. Considering that subscriptions were being paid regularly^ and that the buildings were an completed ana paia for at tne end of about one year, and that the company's income was about S2.000 per month from regular installment payments on subscriptions, then under these conditions about S2.500 spindles and appeartainiug machinery could be bought for a good cash payment, and the remainder payable SI,000 to 52,000 per month. In about sixteen to eighteen months from the time the first payments were made the mill could be started up on about onethird to one-half its capacity; then the remainder of the machinery could be added and started up from time to time as the money continued to come in by installments. No dividends should be paid until the stork is naid in full and the offi cers should receive very small salaries. The mills near Charlotte, built on this plao, have been very successful, and some of them during the dull season have run night and day to fill orders for their goods. The co-operative plan if fairly tried would soon make the South the cotton manufacturing center of the world. A NARROW ESHAPE. A Hon Attacks Hli Tamer la the Case. Coney Island, N. Y., Jane 10.?

A Wtll ot Ice. Cociiran, Ga., June, 16?The people of Cochran are now the victims of tbe most peculiar circumstances ever recorded in history, be it ancient or modern. The main street of our little city rima "VArf-.h anr? in each end of' which there is a large well, used by the public. The south well is filled with water of an average temperature. Yesterday morning the patrons of the Xorth well awoke and went about their usual routine for supplying themselves with water. The buckets when let down would invariably land on a hard surface unlike water.. Wonder demanded an investigation. It was ice ?pure ice, several 'inches thick, that covered the surface in the North well. Freezing in one well. Hot in another withm a radius of a hundred yards. EFFECTS OF THE DROUGHT Wetkiy Bolltitia ol the Conditio-l o 1 the W^aJber ?i d Crep*. Columbia, S. C, Juce 13?The foliowic;? is the weekly bulletin, of the coadiiioii of tbe weather and crops throughout the State, issued jesterday by State Observer Bauer: Annroximatelv normal or seasonable temperatures prevailed during the past week, it beiog relatively cooler near the coast than ia the interior. At Charleston the week average one degree a day cooler than seasonable while westward there was an average excess" of two degrees aday. There were one or two rather cool nights, but on the whole the temperature was favorable. There was verv little cloudiness except on Wednesday the 6:h, when the sky was overcast during the afternoon. Tne sunshine averaged about 90 per cent for the State. On Wednesday (6ih) afternoon and night there were scattered, light showers in various portions of the State, but they were entirely two light to relieve the droujjhth, amounting at no. place to more than 0.50 incb, and generally not more than a sprinkle. The normal amount for the first week in June is approximately one inch. Over many portions of the State there has been no rain that moistened the soil deeper than an inch or so, since about the 20 of May and tbe previous rainfall had not left tbe ground ia condition to stand a prolonged drought as the comparative records at Charleston and Columbia will show. At Charleston the average rainfall from March 1st to June 10th is 13.47 inches this year the ramraii nas osen o.m mcues, uiaiuug a deficiency of 7.69' inches. At Columbia the comparison is equally unfavorable. Average from Maren 1st to date 13.19 inches, rainfall this year, March 1st to date 5.18 inches making a deficiency of 8.01 inches. The effects of this deficiency in rainfall are felt mostly by the cereal crops, except possible "com and rice, grasses, garders, etc., or in general terms, food and forage crops which stand in urgent need of rain to prevent them from being- more or less failures. Pastures are dying out with no new growth to replace the grassed cropped.' Grasses for* haymaking no growth. Cow peas are being sown on stnbble and in com fields, bat not as they would be were the soil in better condl* tion. Oats harvest continues in sections and spring sown oats are very poor. Chesterfield is the only county that reports a big crop. Wheat being cat very green in western counties with prospects uf poor yield. Threshing begun in parts of the State with yields that indicate from one forth to cnehalf a crop in yield per acre. The weather has been unexceptional for harvesting oats and wheat. Potatoes not doing well, too dry. The setting of sweet potato sprouts practically suspended on account of dryness. Sice doing fairly wsll on bottom lands, but rather poorly on higher ground, Tobacco not keeping up the good showing previously made. Melons not growing well, although some good fields are reported. Gardens dying out and in the utmost need of rain. Corn continues to look healthy but is small and making little or no growth. Should the dry weather continue much longer it will materially injure the corn crop. Cotton lias generally improved 1a appearance under tbe inflcence of higher temperatures with fairly good stand, but continues very small and backward. It seemiEgly stands the drought better than other crops. Cultivated fields are clean and well worked. With good soaking rains crops would make1 rapid impovement. Musical Homes are Happy Homes. Have you ever noticed it? Call to mind the homes of your friends who have a good Piano or Organ in the hftnsft a.ta r.hev not brlcrhter and more attractive than those where the divine art of music never enters? To be sure it costs to buy a good instrument, but it lasts many years, and will pay its costs many a thousand times over by interesting the young folks in their homes. Don't make the mistake, though, of investing haphazard. Post yourself thoroughly by writing Ludden & Bates Southern Music House, Savahnab, Ga., the great music house of the South, established in 1870.
