Wednesday, December 15. 1897. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. "A matter of great satisfaction is the growing feeling of fraternal regard and unification of all sections of the c untry," says ihe President. This j'rcm the administration which promised prosperity to all sections, and has announced tfae very anomolous theory that taxation plus scarcity of money equals prosperity. That taxation, too, partakes too of the rankest sectionalism. That it 19 the most sectional tariff bill ever passed, a detailed analysis of it will most conclusively show, yet the President . declares that there is "the growing feeling of fraternal regard acd unification of all sections of the country." There is "a growiog feeling of fraternal regard and unification ot all section?," but not in the seuse'wd by the President. Thoie oppres-cd feel a sympathy for each other, and thereis "a growing feeling" that the govern raent must be rescued from the tariff barons, tru=ls, combines and monopolies. "Tariff legislation,''we are further told by the President, was settled by the extra session ot this Congress, and again Mr. McKinley tells the Congress that the full effect of this tariff legislation "has not yet been realized," but "what'it has already accomplished assures us of i:s timeliness and wisdom." "To lest its permanent value further time will be required." Why did not the President speak the whole truth and tell it honestly? V\ hy did he not say that tie tariff had not brought that great wave of prosperity which so often promiwd it would io? "Why did he not say that since the operation of the tariff law, it had tailed to produce the necessary revenue? Why did he not go still further and tell the truth by saying that its object was protection, and not revenue? Having said that the tariff had been settled, the President now thinks that Congress should settle the currency question. The President practically concede' that the gold reserve cannot be maintained except by issuing bonds as was done daring the administration of President Cleveland. He seems to have forgotten that he ^criticised Mr. President on this very point last year. Mr. McKinley asierts that during the Cleveland administration, there was a deficit of revenue, and a part of the proceeds of the sale of bonds were devoted to make up this deficiency. This has been often denied ; in Congress, and figures have been given to show that there was no cificit in revenues. Mr. McKinley recommends that "when United States notes are "presented for redemption in gold, and are redeemed in gold, such notes shall be kept and set apart, and only paid out in gold. This is common sense. It amounts to the same thing as cancelling them when paid. Ifc cuts off "the endless chain." Mr. McKinley concurs in the plan suggested by. the Secretary of the Treasury. He thinks that national banks should be allowed to issue notes "to the face value of the bonds which they have deposited for circulation, and such notes to be taxed one-half of 1 per cent per annum. This would not suit the South, because it would not supply currency in abundance and it would not b# elastic enough. What this section wants and what it needs is the power to use its own credit without any interference from the iederal government. The South ha3 never believed that the United States government had any constitutional .?? power io ievv a tax. We hope that the cotton groTersi will "be more successful in perfecting: their organization than those who tried to organizo the county into ?, road association. The plan of organi zation is similar; -bat the cotton growers have this fact in their favor! It was o-cent cotton that prevented the organization of the road association, and 5-cent cotton is the tav.se for orgacization of the cotton growers. If one-half of the present crop should be suddenly destroyed, and cotton should bound up to 10 cents, the cotton growers association would not be heard of again until cotton dropped down to o cents. The ^cotton growers always act upon present conditions. It iiever seems to occur to them that the next fa!! may bring the same conditions. General Miles wants an increase in :he United Slates army. He sugai a hpi/irminor that the ftrmv he ~ O O w w increased 100 per cent. What would the frairters of the Constitution think of this? ^Ye have too much power centralized at "Washington now. A large standing army is inconsistent with the idea of a Republic, and the people should zealously watch every attempt t strengthening the power of the Federal Government. It has already usurped powers which were reserved to tbe States, and a close watch ou anything which tends to centralize power at Washington should be cxercised. ijaip ? It would be well for peopie in Winusboro and vacinity to be vacci nated when a case or smallpox 13 reported so near ;c us as Kock Hill. The holiday season is close at hand, aud we hope that our correspondents will be on the lookout for item?, and send them to us promptly. i i iTiiiiMi'iiiiifliafflB?i A SCBSTITCTB FOR 5-CENT COTTON". <Jlt is said," says the Cberaw Chronicle, "that the sct'operao:^ jjrape will yield 1,000 gallons of wine per acre. It is also said that Chesterfield County has hundreds of acres of land that won't grow cowpeas,and yet this very land is said to be the very thing for grape growing. We are surprised tHfcf ?nm(>nne Las not started this in dustry before now. In Caiitoruia new wine, it is said, sells for 21 cents a gallon, and a yield of 1,000 gallons an acre wonld bring $210. What crop have we that will bring that much? Let someone give this in 'ustrv a trial. A few dollars for grape roots willbe all that Is necessary to start ou." It has bean proved by experiment, we believe, that scuppernong wine can be made at the rate of about a thousand gallons per acre in Charleston County, yet there is not nearly a thousand gallons made on all the acres in the county, which proves again that we are not living up to our opportunities. If the Xew England Siates could make scappernong wine for us we would be glad to buy it from them by the Cirload at 40 cents a gallon.?News and Courier. We Lave often heard that the land about Blythewood was admirably adapted to the culture of grapes and other fruits. The above sugge?tbn might be of use to the farmers in that section. Oar observation has been that the scuppernong grows well anywhere in thin part of the country. The whole State will lvgret that Senator McLaurin is quite ill in Washington. The long summer campaign* that we are accustomed to have iu this State are enough to tax the strongest constitution. In recent years the effect of these campaigns on the participants has been noticeable. Even Senator Tillman's iron constitution was shakened. We have very little doubt tut that Senator Eirle's <rrr*a eVir\rtonf>f1 hv his rftmnaiorii. i ITY **0 guvikV/iiVM m, j j~ 0 , and it is quite clear that the heat and nervous strain of last summer have left their effect upon Senator McLaurin. If oar Senators continue to break down under them, then aspirants will feel that it is as much as a mau's life is worth to undertake the race for the United States Senate. The New England mills will ;be driven to the South. When it cost 6 ?ents in New England to produce an article which can be made in North Carolina, South Caroliaa ?r Georgia for 3? cents, New Bnglaods mills have nothing else left ttf them eicpt either to go out of business or move to the South. The New England manufacturers will try cutting ths wages of labor 10 per cjnt. isot iu oraer 10 meet Southern competition it is estimated that a cat of 25 per cent mast bo made. Even this would not help matters much, because the laborers have to live, and it costs more to Jive | in New England than in the South. The operatives with a continual reduction of wages would kick, and this would lead to a itrike. General Edward McUrady's History of South Carolina will be published during thejpresent month, and may make its appearance during the next ten days. It will treat of the history of the colony under the Proprieiary Government from 1670 to | 1719. This book will sell for $3.50, which should put it within the reach of many persons. This period is very little known, and the ignorance of most of us about South Carolina's history is astonishing. It is hoped that some one as competent as General McOrady will undertake to write a history to cover the subsequent per iod We have had no iush of those wishing in finhcerihe for a suitable abaft to mark the spot of Mobley's Meeting Plouse. An exchange remarks that Tom Reed "are" now in ses?ion. ? installation ceremonies. According to appointment, the Bethel Presbytery held a call meeting on Saturday, December 4:h, ?' Mizpah Church, Chester County. T e opening sermotl was preached by itev. Mr. Hall. It was an able discourse opon the influence of (he Christian religion, basing his remarks upon the words, "Ye are the salt of the earth." After the sermon Rev. Mr. Hall called the Presbytery to order and presided. He stated the object of the meeting to be the ordination and installation of Rev. W. W. Sadler. Mr. Sadler having been previously examined and received into the Presbytery, nothing remained but to proceed with these solemn services which was to set him apart to the full gospel ministery. The candidate was then called forward and the questions were propounded by Rev. Mr. Hall. Rev. Mr. MeLauchlin, of Chester, 'led in the ordination prayer, which was a most fervant one. It then became the dut} of Rev. M. R. Kirkpatrick, of Blackstock, to charge the pastor. His words were solemn and beautiful. The audience seemed to catch his inspiration aud were impressed with the solemnity of the occasion. Rev. Mr. McLaucblin addressed the people. Ilis charge was practical. He earnestly urged upon the people their duty of giving to their pastor moral and financial support. Presbytery made arrangements for the installation services to take place at Salem on next Saturday, December 11. The minutes were read by Rev. Mr. Milliard, who in the absence of the staled clerk was elected clerk pro tem. Having 110 further business Presbytery adjourned. The ladles had been mindful of temporal needs and served a delightful dinner in the church because of Hie rain on tbe outside. Mr. Sadler has accepted the call to both Sale? aad Mizpah congregations. The friends of these churches rejoice in their good fortune in securing so able and cousecrated man as their spiritual guide. The pleasure of the occasion was increased by the presence of Mrs. Sadler. Mr. Sadler has recently brought home his bride. She promised to make a faithful helpmeet for him.

Rambler. / Crosbyviile, Dec. 6,1897. ??itmmmm?i?mrrrr >"i ? hum *" the baptist convention. . 1 he Baptist State convention which convened in Rock HH1 Nov. the 30ih jo Dec. oth wa> in many respect", one of th3 p!ea?autest ever held. This industrious city paused ia her bustle long enough to thro>v wide open h2r arms f.-id welcome into her homes the Fnnr n- hnndrel visitors that carn-3 from all pai-ts of the State. Judge J. 11. Hudson was re-elected president of the convention by a unanimous vote. Toe '.Judge is very popular, and ,m>iket> a ft tie presiding officer. Mauy years spent in "sitting in judgment'-' has well prepared this honored man to preside over the convention. The cjnven'ion sermon was preached on Wednesday night bv Dr. D. M. Ramsey, pastor of the Citadel Square church of Charleston and often spoken of as one of the most eloquent tpeakers, and the hand-omest man in the south. The church was tilled to every available nook by members of all denominations and representatives who hid come io hear this popular preacher. The first meeting of the Woman's Missionary Union, auxiliary to the convention, was held ou Wednesday morning in the Sunday School room of the Presbyterian Church. Mrs. S^oan of Greenville wa? rc-elected president and Mrs. Jamisonof Camden was elected secretary. The union regretted very much the absence of tbe honored members of the "Central Committee," Miss Mary Coker, and Mrs. John Stout, which was occasioned by the death of their neiceat Wiotbrop College. Resolutions of sympathy and expressions of regret at their absence were passed by the body. Under the presidency of Mrs Sloan, tho meetings passed' off delightfully and were of extraordinary interc "t throughout. The meeting on Thursday eveniog was one of particular interest, being the occasion of the address of Mrs. YV. E En'tzminger, missionary to Brazil. Mr. Entzmlnger is an attractive speaker, and a* she spoke from her heart, her words found lodgment in tbe hearts of her audience. As she told of her fxr?f npitilencG. iCLlUv 1U l UU V'tMW J- -? --? ? / such a? small-pox, yellow fever, and leprosy, and worse than all a3 she beheld the sinfulness, the idolatry, the poverty, indolence and ignorance of Brazil's priest-ridden people, many eyes were moist from the burning eloquence of her words, 'ihursday morning's session of the convention was devoted almost wholly to business. By special request, the Rev. R. Carroll, a colored preacher of ; marked ability, made an address before the conveniiou. He made an eloquent appeal for a reformatory for juvenile criminals. His strong words were ; interspersed with an occasional bit of humor, a# he told with peculiar ability some anecdote taken from the lives of ! his own race. At the conclusion of his address, a resolution was passed 1 appointing Dr. C. C. Brown of Sumter to appear before the legislature io behalf of the proposed reformatory. Friday night's session was the educational meeting of the convention and . it wa3 certainly the occasion of an p-rhihitton of the oower and influence of education. The report of the trustees cf Farman University was read by Dr. A. J. S. Thomas, and grateful mention was made in the report of the generous gift of the Ceasers Head -property by Dr. and Mrs. F. H. Myers. The principal feature of the evening was ths address of President A. P. Montague, Ph. D. L. L. D., the new president of Furman University. Dr. Montague is a native of Virginia, and at the time of bis appointment to the presidency of Furman University, was Professor of the chair of Laiin, and Dean of the iaculty of Columbian University. Dr. Montague is an eloquent and impassioned speaker. He possesses all me qualifications of an orator, but as some one said of him, "he is not only an orator, nor the t- morfnofiem I possessor UJL SUUIi gicai mug n >^vj juj ; but he is one of the finest educators of the day. The crowning fact to ailthat of his fine personality, his power- : ful magnetism, is that he i> conse- 1 crated to God. Into his life there has not found its ?vav, as is the case in the lives of some educated men of the day, that element ot conceit, which makes them believe that their minds have expanded beyond the boundary of human understanding, : and pierced far into the vista of im- j m rta'ity where they can seen-. God. He resizes that, even the greatest miuds are limited to a certain understanding. We cannot fail to tell you of the delightful evening spent at the Win- : throp Normal and Industrial College. At the meeting of the convention on Friday there wa3 given to each visitor ( a ticket ioto the walls ot South Carolina's college for women. After reaching the college programmes were dis- ; tributed containg the following order: 1 Reception and Conccrt in honor of the Baptist State Convention ( of South Carolina, in Seventy-seventh Aunual Session at Rock Hill, S. C , given by the j Wiathrop Normal and Industrial , College Friday, Dec. 3,1S97, 5 to G p. m, 3 to 4 raception, i to 5 conccrt, 5 to ] 6 refreshments. , We will not tax you with a programme of the concert given in the college auditorium, the sealing ca- ' pacity of which is about eight hundred. 1 hnf; wft must sav that to those of us 1 who possessed music loving souls, it was verily a feast. Neither will we take time to give the bill-of-fare, which came immediately after the concert. "Refreshments" was ahnoU too light a term to use for the substantial feast set before us. The event was delightful and was verily a glimpse into the "rosebud garden of ' girls." Tt was indeed intcre=tin2 to watch the manv maidens a; they ' flrl;ed about in bright array, bringing forth a hearty laugh from some grave, ! gray-headed doctor of divinity or a blnsh to the cheek of some young 1 divine stiil revelling in the glories of * sir.gle blessedness, or perhaps it might hare been one whose loving wife was c at home. Every" earthly care was ' forgotten, unless it was the reflection of some straggle with this study or that one, provoked by the familiar figures on the b ards in the various : recitation roo::.s.

Last night our town wa; favored with one of the best things of an educating and amusing nature that it has lnd recently * Hon. W. P. Wideman, of Abbeville, who 's row winning a considerable reputation as a lecturer all over theSoutb, delivered bis famous lecture, "Hit the Giit," in the High Rflinnl KnilHino- Tin TCJ1S introduced to the audieucc as the "funniest and fattest man in South Carolina," and before he had completed his lecturc the audience was fully persuaded that this was true; but this is not all that can be said of Mr. Wideman. He approached different points of his lecture in a sound, logical manner, and his flights of eloquence were s:tch as is seldom our privilege to hear. He began with a beautiful description of the Southern log cabin as the birthplace of America's greatness and of the wide opportunities it affoids a young man or woman to 4(hit the grit." A new feature of his lecture was his eulogy on the old time amateur fiddlers as a type of a man who had to "hit the grit," and his expert use of the violin in illustrating the different parts of it. For over an hour he held complete sway over his audience. One minute they would be attentive to the extent that they were as motionless as statues, and the next in uproarou3 laughter. We heartily recommend Ma. Wideman's lecture and wish him well in other parts of the State. x-v i * ? - ? ? ?_i_ l i _ r? _ _t <jn Jasi xuonuiy zn^ut uie ranter House <vas {he. scene of a very pleasant social gathering of the school children.
