This is a full length j ortra t of an evolutionist
who substitutee the brtt'kl origin for
the divine origin. * 1 showed \*.u last week

in opposite directions at oO miies the
hour, their locomotives meeting on ihs same
track. I showed that a.l the evolution scientists.
without any exception, were pronouueed
infidel*: <h*i evolution wi? a tea
thenfsro iho\isaml? uf years old; that such
n,en as Agssjh'.aud Hugh Miller aud Farraday
and Dawt<??n;3.ad Dana h:-^! for that
doctrine of evolution unlimited contempt I
showed you that their favorite theory of the
'survival of the fittest" was an absurdity '
and an untruth, and that natural evolution
? was always downward and never upward,
and that there had never been any improvement
for man or beast or world except
through the dircct or indirect infiuen.ee of
our glorious Christianity. And in the closing
part of that sermon I told you I was not
a pesssirsist, but an optimist, that instead
of it being 11 o'clock at night it is half past
5 m the morning.
Now, i go on to tell you, it seems to me
that evolutionists are trying to impress the
great masses of the people with the idea
t^ai there is an ancekral line leading the
( serpent and on np through the quadruped
and on up through the gorilla to man. They
admit that thjre is a "missing link" as they
call it, but there is not a missing link?it is
a whole- chain gone. Between the physical
construction of the highest, animal and the
Ipajrgic&i uuuovrutjiiuu ui mc IUVIC^I iuaxx
there is a chasm as wide as the Atlantic
ocean. Evolutionists tell us that somewhere
in central Africa or in Borneo there is a
creature half way between the brute and the
man, at d that that creature is the highest
step in the animal ascent and the lowest
step in the human creation. But what are
the facts? The brain of the largest gorilla
that was ever found is 30 cubic inches, while
the brain of the most ignorant man that was
ever found is 70. Vast difference between
30 and 70. It needs a bridge of 40 arches
to span that gulf.
Besides that there is a difference between
r the gorilla and the man?a difference of
blood globule, a difference of nerve, a difference
of muscle, a difference of bone, a
*- difference of sinew. x The horse is more like
man in intelligence, the bird is more like
him in musical capacity, the mastiff is more
like him in affection. That eulogized beast
. oi which we nes." w,> muca, represeutcu yu i
the walls of cities thousands of years ago, is
just as complete as it is now, showing that
there has not been a particle of change.
Besides that, if a pair of apes had a man for
descendant, why would not all the apes
lave the same kind of descendants? Can it
be that that one favored pair only was honV'\
' ' ored with human progeny? Besides that,
evolution says that as one species rises to
anotiter species the old type dies off. Then
r how is it that there are whole kingdoms of
j?. chimpanzee and gorilla and baboon?
Er'~ v_ The evolutioms* s have come together ana
have tried to explain a bird's wit>g* Their
theory has always been that a faculty of an
animal while being developed must always
be useful and always beneficial, but the wing
of a bird,' in the thousands of years it was
gfe:. being developed, so far from being any help
must have been a hindrance until it could
"be brought into practical use away on down
, ia. the ages. Must there not have been an
iutelligent will somewhere that formed that
wonderful flying instrument, so that a bird
600 times heavier than the air can mount it
and put gravitation under elaw and beak?
That wonderful mechanical instrument the
iq wing, with between 20 and 30 different apparati
curiously constructed, does it not imdIv
a divine intelligence? Does it not imply
Ki : ' - a direct act of some outside being? All the
evolutionists in the world cannot explain a
bird's wing or an insect's wing.
So they are confounded by the rattle of
the rattlesnake Ages before that reptile
had any enemies this warning weapon wa3
created. Why was it created? When the
reptile, far back in the ages, had no enemies,
why this warning weapon? There
mu3t have been a divine'intelligence foreseeing
and knowing t&at in ages to come
that reptile would have enemies, and then
this warning weapon would be brought into
use. Tou see evolution at every step is a
\ contradiction or a monstrosity. At every
% \ stage of animal life as well as a', every stage
\ of human life there is evidence of direct ac"
tion cf divine will
Besides that, it is very evident from another
fact that we are an entirely different
creation and that there is no kinship. The
animal in a few hours or months comos to
fall strength and can take cire of itself
The human race for the first one, two, three
five, ten years is in complete helplessness.
? , The chick just come out of its shell begins
to pick up its own food. The dog, the wolf,
the lion, soon earn thuir own livelihood and
act for their own defense. The "human race
does not come to development until 20 or 30
years of age, and by that time the animals
that were born the tame year the man was
born; the vast majority of them, have died
of old age. This shows there is no kinship,
there is no similarity. If we had been born
of the bea3t, we would have had the beast's
strength at the start or it wonld have had
oar weakness.- JNot only airrerent, out opposite.
Darwin admitted that the dovecot pigoon
has not changed in thousands ot years. It
is demon >uated over and over again that
he lizarJ on tne lowest formation of rocks
was just as complete as the iizard now. It is
shown that the ganoid, the first fish, was
just as complete as the sturgeon, anothei
name for the same fish now. Darwin's enlire
system i* a gues3, and Huxley and
John Stuart Mill and Tyndall-and especial
ly Professor Haeckel come to help him in
the euess, and guess about the brute, and
w ?
guess about man, and gaess about worlds.
Pbut as to having one soiid foot of ground to
stand on they never have had it and never
will have it. I, put in opposition to these
evolutionist theories the inward consciousness
that we have no consanguinity with the
dog that fawns at our feet, or the spider
that crawls on the wall, or thi fish that
Hops in the frying pan, or the crow that
. swoops on the field carcass, or the swine
that wallows in the mire. E rerybody sees
the outrage it would be to put asiae the
Bible record that Abraham begat Isaac, and
Isaac begat-Jacob, and Jacob begat Judah,
for the record that the microscopic animal^
~ Karros tQ.-innlp and the tadnole be
gat the polliwog, and the polliwog begat the
serpent, and the serpent begat the qnadru\
ped, and the quadruped begat the baboon,
X. and the baboon begat man.
X The evolutionists tell us that the apes
were originally fond of climbing the trees,
ijtrt- x after awhile they lost their prehensile
powe>and therefore could not climb with
any faciHty, and hence they surrendered
monkeydoiQ and set up in bu^utss as men.
L Failures as apes, successes as men. Accoruing
to the evolutionists, a man is a bankrupt
monkey.

But says sorre one, "If we cannot have
God make a man, let us have him make a
ho^se." "Oh, no!" says Huxley in his
great lectures in New Tort years ago. No,
he does not want any God around tne Dretnises.
God did not make the horse. The
horse came of the pliohippus, and the pliohippup
came from the protohippus, and the
protohippus came fiom the miohippus, and
the miohippu3 came from the meshohippus,
and the mesh >Lippu3 came from the orohippus,
and so away back, all ihe living creatures,
we trace it in a line until we get to
the moneron. and no evidence of divine intermeddling
with the creation until you get
to the moneron, and that, lluxley says, is
of so low a form of life that the probability
is it just made itself or was the result of
spontaneous generation. What a narrow
escipe from theneceFsity of having a God!
As near as I can tell, these evolutionist*
seem to think that God at the start had not
made up his mind as to exactly what he
would make, and having made up his mind
partially he has been changing it all through
the ages. I believe that God made the world
as he wanted to have it and tnat tne Happiness
of all the species will depend upon their
staying in the species where they were
created.
Bat, my friends, evolution is not only in
fidel and atheistic and absurd. It is brutalizing
in its tendencies. If there is anything
in the world that will makes a man
bestial in his habit3, it is the idea that he
was descended from the beast. Why, accord
bg to the idea of these evolutionists,
we are a only superior kind of cattle, a sort
of Aide- ney among other heards. To be
sure, we browse on better pas'ure, and we '
have better stall and better accommodations,

die like a beast, to die like a beast, for the
evolationists have no idea of a future world
They 8 y the mind is only a superior part of
the body. Tbey say our thoughts are only
molecular forma'ion. They tay when the
body dies the whole nature dies. The slab of
thetepulcher is not a milestone on the journey
upward, but a wall shutting us into eterdal
nothingness. We all die alike?the cow,
the horse, the sheep, tae man, the reptile.
Annihilation is the haaven of the evolutionist.
From such as'enchful and damnable
doctrine turn away. Compare that idea of
year origin an idea filled with the chatter of
apes and the hiss -f serpents and the croak
of frogs?to an idea in one or two stanzis
which I quote from an old book of more
than Demosthenic or Homeric or Dantesque
power; '-What is nan that thou art mindfulofhim?
And the son of man, that thou
yisiteat him? Thou hast made him a little
lower than the angels and hast crowned him

Clash of the "War Secretary and Com.mander-ic-Ciiief.
When Gen. Miles returns to Washington
he will he asked for an explanation
of recent interviews appearing with
him, and the publication of certain dispatches
which the war department has
not made public. Whether the investigation
v.ill take the course of a mili
tary Uourt ot inquiry or a private interview
between the President, the
Secretary of War and Gen. Miles remains
yet to be seen. Until the arrival
of Gen. Miles the war department will
not discuss the matter. Secretary Alger
says that the department will not
enter into any controversy with its subordinates,
and he does not propose to
discuss matters affecting Gen Miles during
his absence.
The department is of opinion that
Gen. Miles made public the dispatches
of the Secretary. Gen. Shafter and himself.
Such action it regards as a broach
of military regulations, but no military
Court can secure proof that Gen. Miles
made public the dispatches if he and
the person to whom they were furnished
refuse to give the information, as several
military trials have made it settled
law that no military Court can
compel a civilian to testify if he doe?,
not want to. Gen. Miles also may be
cc-Iicd to account lor tne interviews witn
hi m. as, unless disavowed, they would
place him in the attitude of criticing
his superior officers, and subject him to
military discipline.
The publication of the dispatches
taken together with previous interviews
ir the Kansas City Star, were the topic
oi conversation among officers of the
war department, and alreidy there is a i
disposition by some to take sides in the
n atter, while others deplore the conditions
as tending to lower the tone of
the army and to do irreparable injury
to the service. It is expected the controversy
will extend to both houses of
Congress, and it is feared will have an
adverse effect upon the legislation
which will be asked to better the army.

force will have to be largely in"?

creased, at least until uie conquereu
islands are disposed of, and it is feared
that legislation in this directon will be
iiampered by the inevitable controversy
between the Secretary of "War and the
general commanding the army.

Pennsylvania, near the mountains,

3 years old, was soon lost in that extensive
chain of mountains extending
from Concord to Cumberland county.
An alarm was immediately given and
the people of Burns valley and vicinity

I BIG EATERS OF THE OLD DAYS
I Seven and a Half Pounds of Beef Part
of One Mac's Dinner.
The late Abraham i lay ward refers in
j his reminiscences to Thomas Walker,
I who died early in the present century,
and was editor of a singular gastronomic
journal, called the Original. Among
other things he speaks of 3Ir. Walker's
np.rsistent advocaev of' a verv fnw wr
fectly served dishes at a single meal.
Among others he mentions a Christmas
dinner given by Mr. Walker, in
which three persons including the host,
participated. It was composed of
crimped cod. woodcock aud a plum
pudding, just as much of each as was
i wanted, with champagne in abundance
as the role wine. This dinner excited
considerable comment at the time, for
it was given at a period when it was
considered good form to load the table
j with an endless quantity of viands and
drink in profusion, manv varieties of
i wines.
This dinner of Walker's leads Mr.
Hayward to comment upon the formidable
appetites with which people were
endowed in the early years of the century.
One of Walker's meals was merely
a nibble to the robust eaters of this
period.
The lord lieutenant of a certain western
county of England ate a covey of
partridges in their season every morning
for breakfast. Another man of
title consumed daily an equal number of
these birds as a mere whet, and his appetite
was only sharpened by the performance.
This feeder, before he had
finished with a round of beef, had eaten
seven ana a nait pounds oi solid meat
and a proportionate quantity of vegetables.
3Ir. Hayward tells of a distinguished
literary and political character who
was in the habit of ferquenting the
notorious Crockford's. His appetite
and capacity were so prodigious that
the proprietor of the establishment
determined to offer him a substantial
fee to refrain from eating there. He
was about to do so, when he was informed
that this glutton had been
bought off by the proprietors of all of
the other exclusive feeding and gambling
resorts of London.
Troubles of a Trust.
The Atlanta Journal says ''the Sugar
Trust has a rough sea ahead of' it. If
there ever was a trust which was
thoroughly disreputable, and which distinguished
itself by its defiance of decency
as well as'of public opinion, this
is the one. ihe probability that the
sugar trust has seen its best days will,
therefore, be viewed with general satisfaction
by the public, which it has
fleeced for so long a time. The dangers
that beset this gigantic corporation are
manifold. It has recently found a
powerful rival in the Arbuckle Company,
which has built and'opened a
great sugar refinery in Brooklyn. Another
refinery on Long Island, taj?ey
operated by the Doscher Company, will
be ready for business in October. Still
another refinery that will make war on
the sugar trust has just been completed
in San Francisco. The trust now pro
duces about thrce-rourths of all the refined
sugar used in this country, but itt
is estimated that its powerful competitors,
who are now in the field will take
away nearly half of its business. The
rapidly growing beet sugar industry is
"also giving the sugar trust trouble. It
is necessary, in order to make the production
of beet sugar profitable, to refine
sugar where the beets are grown,
and thus make a large saving in freight.
The business of refining sugar near the
Louisiana plantationsis also increasing
every year for a similar reason. But
the RArirms rlfl/n^er wbinh nnw beset.
the sugar trust is one winch was broght
on by its own greed and the exercise of
influence with Congress. The .lobbyists
of the trust and its tools in Congress
succeeded in putting a differential
duty of one cent a pound on refined
sugar into the Dingley tariff Act. This
gave the trust an enormous bounty, but
was too good a thing. It is this big
differential which has lured other powerful
companies into the sugar refining
business. If the sugar trust had not
grabbed for so much in the way of legislative
favors it would now be in a much
stronger position than it holds. And
now the trust is brought face to face
with another perplexing problem. The
sugar of Porto liico and Hawaii will
be admitted free of duty. The sugar
product of Cuba, will also come in free
when Cuba becomes ours, as it probably
will before long. There will certainly
be refineries established in those
islands to put the sugar into shape for
market before it is shipped to this
country. The trust will have a gay
time keeping down this competition.
This concern now has common and preferred
stock to the amount of $75,000,-'
AAA x"L I ~ 1a. ' i. J
uvv. un mis it is eAputaeu uu pay
handsome dividends. It has been
forced by its policy of crushing competition
to pay for competing refineries
prices immensely above their real value,
it is said that all the plants of the trust
could be duplicated for one-fifth of the
amount for which they are stocked.
This gives the rival refineries recently
built an enormous advantage. To buy
up these refineries would put a stop to
the trust's dividends and run its stock
down to something like real value. To
face and fight the great competition
now before it will be to lose one-half of
its monopoly. The situation is badly
mixed for the trust, but all peraons who
do not hold its watered stock may contemplate
the situation with equanimity
and hope for the collapse of a combination
which has forfeited all claims to
sympathy or respect.

The Government steamboat John E.

escape. The killed were Capt.
Starr, commander of the boat: Sergt.
John Newman, of the engineers; Pat
Carlos and Ralph Rogers. Those
wounded were Fritz Koch and 1). B.
Reddy. Major Quinn, of the engineer
orpSj was advised that the Meigs had
been blown up by a torpedo or. mine.
T^e Government engineers had been
Enable to recover the mines and torpe'
docs from shore by means of the cables
to which they had been attached, owing
to the fact that the sand in the river
had weighted them down -and caused
the cables to part. On this account a
crew was ordered down on the Meigs to
grapple for the mines and Iriug them
to the surface. The crew h^i almost
completed the work when the accident
occurred. The dispatch to Major
Quinn *says that the Meigs sank out of
sight in deep water near Fort St. Philip.

LOVES ONLY HIS PARAMOUR.
Peculiar Answer of Atlanta Lawyer
to a Divorce Suit.
A suit for divorce, filed by Mrs. T. J.
Leftwich of Atlanta against her hus
band, who in .addition to being one of
the best known lawers of Atlanta, is
the son of Br. J. T. Leftwich, a Presbyterian
preacher of wide reputation,
has provoked a rejoinder today from the
defendent which bristles with remarkable
features. The defendant admits
that he was unduly intimate with Maud
Jordan, as his wife asserts, and
declares openly that for years he has
given her the affection and and attention
which was due his wife, and that
it is his intention to marry her as soon
<10 from Ms nresp.nt matrimo- I
nial bonds. He says that his marriage
fifteen years ago was in every way unfortunate,
and that when he met Maude
Jordan he realized her as his soul's
ideal. He treated her as a wife and
' has had two children, a boy of 5 years
and a girl of 8 months, by her, He alleges
that he recently called a council
of his most intimate friends.told them
the circumstances, and declared that
she and he would prefer disgrace and
imprisonment rather than undergo separation.
He asserts that he dearly
loves the Jordan woman and his two
illegitimate children, and any sacrifice
which he can make for their welfare
will not be too great.

prepare iox n licm.
Let the farmers, possessed of foresight,
energy and business tact, con
sider the value of the wheat crop.
Heretofore there was little demand
for surplus wheat except for seed. It
was too convenient to buy store flour.
For the last few years our merchants
would hardly have known what to do
with 500 bushels of wheat put on the
market in one day. With several roller
mills in the country and a large one
nearly ready to grind in the city, wheat
will demand cash almost as readily as
cotton. The ambition of the farmer is
,o bring his cotton crop up to a 500
bale to the acre. The same land* pro
perly prepared will make 20 to 30
bushels of wheat. It requires a man
and horse two days to prepare the land
' Tt j .1
and put in one acre ot wheat, ic lases
six times as much labor to plant, cultivate
and gather a cotton crop as it does
wheat. The wheat land will also produce
a late corn and pea crop and with the
addition of a little manure, the land
will be improved. Let the farmers
consider this question from a business
stand point. With these mills going
up. wheat will bring ready cash.
Seven Men Drowned.
It lias just been reported that Lieut.
Morgan U. S. Engineer corps was
drowned off Tybcc in the storm Wednesday
with six regular soldiers. He
went out in a yawl to rescue the sailors
of an Italian bark. The yawl capsized
and Morgan with his men were drowned.
This is authentic. Morgan was a
Georgian.
Earthquake at Santiago.
Two earthquake shocks were felt at
Santiago Saturday afternooi. The first.
which occurred at 2:15, was of unusual
severity and shook every house in the
city. The frightened people ran out
into the streets. The second shock,
which was lighter, occurred just an
hour later.
LOST IX A STORM.
ftnie Hundred Spaniards on a Trans- j
port Drowned.
The liong Kong daily Press is an- I
tiiority l'or the statement that !?(>(>
Spaniards, including sixteen priests,
lost their lives several weeks ago when
the Spanishgnnboat Leyte was captured
by a vessel belonging to Admiral Dewey's
squadron. The Lcytc had been
stationed in an adjoining island where j
tne insurgenis were numerous ana aggressive.
The latter were gaining
ground rapidly, causing 0i)0 Spainards
to board these sailing vessels in an endeavor
to escape from the natives, who
won Id massac re them.
The gunboat Leytc undertook to tow
these three transports to Manila bay,
where the Spaniards aboard them were
to surrender to Admiral Dewey if they
did not succeed in landing somewhere
and reaching Manila under cover of
darkness. After the Leyte had towed
them down Pampangas river and some
distance along the coast, a heavy storm
came un. making it necessarv for the
gunboat to cut her tows loose and proceed
to Manila for assistance. Before
getting there she was captured by the
Americans next day and an American
vessel was dispatched to find the three
transports, but failed to discover any
trace of them.
The natives on the adjoining coast
say they saw nothing of any vessels.
The conclusion was finally reached that
the vessels foundered with all on board.

The Cotton Outlook.
The outlook for cotton is not very encouraging.
With middling cotton
selling around 5 cents there is aot much
left to the producer, after the freight
and middlemen's charges are deducted.
If' we take $22.50 as about the average
value per bale on the farm, there

capital or labor, under the most favorable
conditions of yield and with the
most economical management. As cotton
is the basis of values throughout
most of the South, this condition of
things is bound to make itself felt in
many ways. .Of course, any depression
in the price of a staple commodity will
work its own cure, in the long run,but
the process is both painful and expensive.
The main cause of the present low
price is the general conviction thdt
the world is face to face with another
monster crop. Whether that conviction
is based on facts or. not. the result is
the same, for the time being. Unfortunately.

undoubtedly, take a large crop of American
cotton at the present level of price,
it does not require a crop of 11,000,000
bales, and will only take it on a speculative
basis. As a matter of fact,
the size of the present crop is
still a matter of uncertainty, as its
backwardness would make it peculiarly
susceptible to injury by an early frost.
Yet the size of the crop is taken for
granted, and affects the price, for the
moment, precisely as if the result were
certain. As things now stand, there is
only one inflnence that could check the
decline. The Southern farmer has got

About Reducing Cotton Acreage.
The Xews "and Courier under tlic
heading "The Cotton G-rowersin Council"
say* that the National Cotton
Growers'.-.- association at Memphis recently
;??3oj?t???! a new policy to restrict
thy production ol' cotton. lwslnction
of acreage by agreement was discarded
as imparacticable. The new policy is
"diversification of crops,'" and this is to
-be kept before the eyes of the farmers
by the distribution of literature. To
this end the formation of a society similar
to the Grange and Alliance, free
from polities, is recommended. This
seems to be a wise direction given to
the "Cotton Growers' association, if it
can be cirried into practice. The efforts
and experiences of years in
this section show the folly of the effort
to rcduce the acreage in cotton by
agreement. It is a saying among farmers
themselves, that farmers can't
combine/' They will acknowledge
that as a general rule, less cotton
should be planted, but every individual
man of them thinks that it is good for
all the other fellows and not for him?
this year. lie has moaey to raise to
meet a debt in the fall. He can't sell
liis corn, fodder and other produce without
a sacrifice .and cotton is so low. he
must plant largely to raise the money.

the low price he' gets for everything
he has to sell, tlie farmer has to plough
a stumpy row. The cotton is such an
easy crop to cultivate, it woos him away
from tobacco which requires so much
trouble and skill in the curing. 'There
are a number of good farmers around
us who know that tobacco is a far more
profitable crop than cotton, that there
is a cash demand for it as early as
August, but "it is so troublesome." So
after all the clement of ease in the cul
tivation and gathering of the crop and
the application of knowledge already
acquired, are important considerations
with many. By concert of action,
the farmers and those interested with
them, could make the plan proposed
very useful. The question is, will it
be done?
Rainfall in the State.
The past week was characteaized by
steady, even, normal temperatures,
ranging between a Maximum of 96 de
grees on the 21st at Batesburg, and a
minimum of 66 degrees on the 17 at
Greenville. The State mean for the
week was 79 degrees, which is also the
normal. With the exception of limited
areas in Newberry, Aiken, Florence,
Dorchester and Chesterfield counties,
where less than an inch of rain fell,
the rainfall amounted to from 1 to 9
inches over the entire State, the latter
excessive rainfall occurred in Pickens,
county, and lowland crops in that,
Greenville and Spartanburg counties,
where from 2 to nearly 5 inches of rain
fell, were in places severely injured or
entirelly destroyed. Cloudy and showcry
weather prevailed generally during
the first of the week, but after Friday
there was more sunshine and less frequent
showers. The average rainfall
for the State was 2.52 inches, and the
normal for the same period is approximately
1.48 inches.
Crops in the State.
The condition of corn has changed
but little and the crop is a fairly good
one, but has been damaged by high water
in the extreme north-western counties
and by an excess of moisttire on
stubble lands. The weather was unfavorable
for saving fodder; much of that
pulled during the week was damaged
and some totally destroyed by rain.
The cotton crop is fairly promising, but
as yet uncertain, and deteriorated during
the week. The continuous cloudy
and rainy weather has caused an in
crease 01 rust and sheading, botn 01
which are common over the entire State.
Matured bolls are rotting to some ecx
tent. Cotton is opening freely inplaces,
but generally slowiiy, and pi pking
has fairly begun in the easternn ortions
of the State, and will soo be
