YTednes lay, August 9. - - 1899 CCCKIKCIUin The agJi-wtics *re ? ?vv eUs-ifying . themselves, and ??f tn*m are coming very t?f'?tr rt> nelief iu the Christian's G<~d, if no: *>*itirely so Dr. Cants, editor or :h*; M?nist, delivered a lecture not Jong at the Philosophical c ab of the University of Chicsg >, and defined his vipws upon theism. Dr. Ctra* attack* a<i?io*t:ci*ju as follows: "Agno3tic'^m as a bankrnpicy of thought, is not only the weakest, b:it also the most injurious, philosophy. It is the philosophy of indolence, which, otj account of its own insolvency, declares that the most vital question of man'* !ife, the qnestion of ?Kq ennl tha cnnl'a tr> { ho body, the immortality of the soul, the existence of God, the creation, and the ultimate purpose of beinir, are bevond , the reach of reason." Such agnosticism as thn, Dr. rarus asserts is illiberal and unscientifia:td as dogmatic as the dogmas ot the ordinary orthordox Puritan He, therefore, defines agnosticism as of different kinds? "the agnosticism of moaesiy, wmcn is a Biispeusjv" ui judgment so long as there are not adequate grounds to be bad for forming an opinion," aod (he agnosticism represented by Herbert Spencer. "His" (Spencer's), says Dr. Car as, "is not a mere suspense of judgment, 4 bfat a most emphatic declaration that the mystery of life is utterly incomprehensible, that the substance of the soul (whatever that may mean) can not be known, that energy is inscrutable," etc. The agnosticism of Spencsi is thft bind Dr. Cams refects. Dr. Cams, a scientific agnostic, is reaching out for a God knowledge. In iha lectare he defines bis conception of Deity as follows: "God i?, further, not an indifferent being to as. He has a personal and private relation to all His creatures, being nearer to every one ot them than the beating of.their hearts and the neural vibration of their brains. He is in th?m, and vet different to them, and infinitelv high above them. He is their life, their Lome, whence they stay, and the goal whither they travel. God is not like as, bat we like Him. He is the light of oar life. He' is the mariner's compass which guides us, and the anchor of hope on which we re'.y. Ualess we fee! his presence, we shall find no place iu the restlessness of this world. Unless we sanctify oar lives by the purport which His existencs imparts to all life, we^can find no comfort iu our afflictions. Unless we recognize that oar sou! is an actualization of His eternal thoughts, we shall not learu to fight the right way in the straggle for existence. Unless we listen to the stxil, small voice that teaches us our duties, we shall not obtain that blissful assurance which tli) childship of God alone can afford." ? This utterancj is .especially interestin*, as the Literary Digest suggests, because the author, at one time an athei9t, ha1? advanced to his present Y\VII lrvoAriViino 1 nAftili'xn Ana A-f jjutiv/ovyuioai puc; A > u xivm vug ui scientific agnosticism. After stating that he his investigated "the question ?'? of what God mast be, if we understand by God that something which molds the world and shapes the fate of man," he says in farther explanation of the language already quoted, <kI have, however, come to th* conclusion, and am more and more convinced, that the superpersoaalGou, the God of science, ths eternal norm of truth and righteousness, is God indeed; He aloue is God. lie is what tbe pagans (including the pagan Christians) have bee it groping after^for ages." Here is a man searching the science of biology for God, Whom many withoat anv knowledge of the science have found through the faith of s little child. Is it hoping for too mach that both may find thi same God knowledge through different researches? An officer in the Philippines writes to tbe Associated Press that "one hundred thousand soldiers should be there ready for business by the beginning of the dry season in November." ,4A continuous warfare caniot be carried on in this enervating climate by the same troops," says the offi#er, and this will 6trike unst people a? hard common sense. "Men from a northern climate retain tneir native vigor ior six or eight months after their arrival here and then begin to saceumb to the various ailments of tropical weather. This is exemplified in the case of volunteers and regulars who have been in the Philippines since last summer. The most of them are saturated with malaria, many have rheumatism and all are greatly debilitated."

A casual ob server will notice the great ioss b\ wear and tare in handling the sqnar? bale as it is generally packed anc brought to market. The round bah may be an improvement, though man} ompetent nutborities are condemin<; if. Bat the machinery for turning ou the rouDd bale is in the hands of a bh trust, the American G>tton Company Considerable literature pro and coi has been sent broadcast ihroughou the country. With the light before us we are not kindly disposed toward: the round bale trust. It appears tc | be a scheme practicaliy to control thi business. The American Cotton Com pany do not, and will not, sell thi j machinery outright, bat the company | leases the outfit?something on thi | plan of the Bell Telepbooe Co. ant similar cor:<ems. We have before usi | copy of tb? contract which ginners o: ! the round i>a;e are leqaired to sign 1 The contract in ihe ma n is in favor o j the trust. The tanner or pinner :?i?s [pay 'a-; lentals or n*vaitie>, tor tin j use of said machines, at the rule <> j twenty cents per 100 pounds of hale { tnrned out ov said machines,render in^r a report to the company on trie Z> ] day ot each month.

For. instance, a ginuei pays one y^ar, siy $2;000 roy alty, tbi next year i* a poor crop and he pay; only $500. The trust can thsn requiri him lo surrender the machinery au< go out of-r>u9iness unless the ginnei will pay $500 to make up the thousanc dollars.

Toe whole system points t< placing the cotton crop in th} hands o this trust. Samples of everv ba!< turned ont most be sent to the trust. Other points in the contract ari equally as objectionable, if not mon so. The farmer has bis hands ti?< now, and we canx.ot advise- him t< allow th;s trust to put a rofte arounc his neck \ TO THE COTTON FARMERS. The Democrat and Courier, Natchcz Miss , has offered the following plat to secure good prices for the presen crop of cotton: The time will soon arrive for thi marketing of the next coiton crop anc unless a change is made as to the modi of doing it the same low level of pricei that was current last year will iuevita bly be the result. It is a well estab lished fact that large port and interio; receipts during the months of Septem ber, October and November are th< great factors in making prices, and i is in your power to prevent tms a9 yoi have the remedy in your own hand: which is to hold back on your farm one-tbird of your ginning until aftei s December or January.

In doing this you will not !>e de i Driving the merchants or ths bai.ks if i tfhoirt you are uader obligations <>: r what they are justly entitled to, uu j ou the other baud, protecting almos their salvation as well as your own. The government says the acreage ir cotton lands is eight per cent less tbai: last year and that the July condition i: 3.4 (three four-tenths( percent less, 01 a to!al depreciation of 11 * (elevei juui~i/cuiii?j yvi ucui. Estimating tbe cuirent ci 11.. 200.000 bal-is it means a sbri..^:^ ol 1,277,000 bales, or a crop of 9,9?J,U0( bales for 1899-1S00. All of which is doubtless quite sound, but it is a waste of time to 1.5 to indues farmers to move together it concert. Tbe cottou problem musi solve itself. Farmers will continue tc plant all cotton and sell it below the cost of' production until the time fehal have couie when they can't get supplies to make the crop.

The farmer has passed through the fire; we believe that, having been severely bornf, lie will sbun it hereafter. At ail events, we prefer to take a cheerful view of it. How quick can a thing be done, is the important question in this fast oge. As soou as a wonderful feat in speed is accomplished, men exert themselves to excel it.

Education that during the summer 2 months a teachers' normal school would 5 be conducted in each county of the j State. As has been announced, the f sessions will continue for tour weeks, ; during which time much good work may be done if the teachers all attend ? and apply themselves zealously. The 2 school will open in Mt. Zion College j building in Winnsboro Thursday, y Augu't 17th inst., at 9 o'clock a. m. j For the information of teachers, the following ponits aregiTen: First. This will be strictly a summer schooi, not a course of lectures. Second. Onlv those who are teachers, } j or tiiose who intend to teach will be t enroled. Third. No visitors allowed to enter 3 either of the class-rooms without per1 mission from conductor. Fourth. Each teacher is required to study each branch and 9tand a written examination on each at the end of four weeks. Fifth. The noars wili be from 9 to 12 or 10 to 1, as may suit the convenience of leacher and pcpii. Sixth. No ?teacher will be admitted after the school has been in session 7 days. Seventh. It is highly desirable that a!! teachers be present the firs; day, at the beginning of the first day's exercises. Eigtb. Eich teacher is requested to bring the text books moat generally used in arithmetic, English, and geosrraohv. , All teachers are urged to attend 5 promptly and constantly. Board has r been procured for $2.25 per week, or 1 $9 per rnonth. Dr. H. S. Hartzog, of . Clemson College, has ja3t assured us f an able agricultural lecturer from that ) institution, Frof. Furman, for our summer school. Hi3 lecture-: will be 5 given each day in the court house, to 7 which a-l will be invited.
