Goes Down to Jericho, i Jerusalem, March 0, 1903. j At last ou my journey I have reach- > ed the Holy City. It is certainly the j dirtiest, dustiest, filthiest place I ever saw. lieggars, some lame, some de- , formed, aud manv bliud, are betrcinK , on every comer, and especially at the ' doors of the churches, mosques, and ( aud in the Jews' wailing place. The , city outside the walls is new, mod- : eru aud tolerably clean, but when j you enter the gate you find all filth , and dirt, rags aud beggars. t Ey carriage I visited Bethlehem, J where you find the church of the Nativity built over the birthplace of , Christ. Three sects have churches under this roof aud soldiers are sta-L tioned there all the time to keep theui I. froui fighting. This little village has i' several shops and small factories j where souvenirs of mother of pearl L aud olive wood are manufactured toL be sold to tourists, and the work isL very good considering the looks of L the workmen. Caravans of camels] aud the patient donkey with his heavy load are ever present. * The mosque of Omar, which was , built in the oth century by?Coustan- i ti e, on the site of the temple of Solo on 'and afterwards the. temple of H rod (these temples have all but a , < ? " ? lew lOlinuaiH'u muuvo uvoviujvm; were located on the summit of Mount Moriah and in the center under the dome is the rock upon which Abraham prepared to sacrifice Isaac. The rock is still here about ,'?0 feet in diameter surface measure. Under thes'e temples aud now under the mosque of Omar is Solomon's stables where thousands of arches support the buildings, and the court above these stables is hewu out of the rock and arched up for strength. On the way to liethlehem is passed many sights of interest, one of which is Rachel's tomb. The Jews Wailing Wace is of great interest. As I visited it ou Friday hundreds of Jews were there wailing for the downfall of the Temple aud praying for its restoration aud the return of the Jews to this city (but I would advise all Jews hi America to stay there.) The Mount of Olives, the pools and quarries of Solomon, the Hill of Zion aud ami Garden of Gethsemane are of j ?reat interest, but I would advise my , friends who have great respect for ( Bible history and reverence for the ( holy place to stay at home rather than , visit Jerusalem. When one looks at j the rocky, barren soil, the poverty and | distress, the half clad wonderer and , the poor, over-worked camel and don- t key, he is bound to say Moses was a poor judge of a country to pick on ' such a place as this for a promised , land. I am stopping at a French monas- } tery outside the Jall'a gale. It is very j clean and they are very kind. The t bed is fairly good but ihe floors are j stone, the walls stone, the ceiling stone, uo tires anywhere; in fact no , one here ever has a fire. There is nothing to burn. You are fed on bread, j well cooked, honey and horse meat , (well done,) goal's milk and black cott'ee, but when you tramp through ] the city (no streets are wide enough , to admit of a carriage) or ride a donkey , around the country you can eat with . a good relish what is set before you ] and ask no questions. I would not ] ailvise young people to c<?me here to , spend their honeymoon. You would , tire of it soon. , I left the ship at Joppa, or Jall'a as . it is now called. This city is older than Noah's Hood and the country ] around raises the finest oranges, lemons, dates and olives I ever saw, but after you cross the mountains of j Judea and get up here it is cold and | but little more than a desert. Jn company with Dr. Cotter, of California, I spent one day visiting the leper quarters and hospital. At the German Leper Hospital there are ol patients, many with their hands and 1 ? i.n.wi t ICCL gwuc, uwrni, I1C 111 1 11 U? t'ul ? ami noses, and some confined to their * beds. I took photographs of most of them and have a nice collection of i pictures of this ancient and dreaded i disease. This hospital can only be < entered by order of the German consul. This was obtained through Mr. , (.'lark, the American vice-cousul who , furnished us with a ^uide and car- j riage. After we got tbrough there we | took donkeys and visited the leper j settlement outsit the city walls. 1 | Mere we saw over .'JO of the worst ( | u retches on earth living in mud and stone houses with dust floors, no win- | dows, in dirt and tilth, almost starv- , iiiif:.

Jericho has about 350 population i living mostly in mud huts and tents. Ihe Sheck or head man, took us to < bis lodge where we saw the sorrow : junce as the cholera killed 30 of their , number recently. In fact the quaran- ' line was only raised three days before 1 ive were there. We weut down by J the road traveled l^y the Good Samari- ? an when we found the traveler bleed- 1 iig aud robbed by the wayside. An 1 inn now stands on the same spot where the inn of old stood. 1 stopped there and got a cup of black 1 jofiee. f We nHSapd the hrnnk where TCIiia . **as fed by tlie raven;-, not birds but a ribe of Arabs that dwelt there at hat lime. So the miracle goes to pieces. After spending the night at an inn n Jericho called the Gilgal, we visited he mountain where Christ wastemptand by Satan was shown all the world and was oflered it if he would all down and worship him. The nountain overlooks the valley of the Fordan from the Dead Sea about 20 niles north and the desert beyond, the 'iver. The whole thing would be ligh at 30 cents for it is only a barren waste. I then drove to the Dead Sea ind afterward to the sacred spot by ;he Jordan where the waters parted ind let Israel's host cro?s. They ;ould have built a bridge in a couple >f days as it isn't over 40 feet wide md not deep, a small, muddy stream. At this spot is where the Saviour was japtized. Many other historic spots were visited on the return. This was a lrive of (JO mile- through rain and. nud, over mountains and through swamps. The flowers of Pal is tine are beauti"ul. The lily of the field is the nicest wild flower that grows; but not a jird, rabbit, mouse, suake or any iving creature is seen (nothing but leas.) After my return to the Holy City I spent one-half day In the church of ihe Holy Sepulchre. This covers Ihe ground where Christ was crucified ind buried, also the grave of Adam, ihe center of the earth, and many Uher holy places. The church is large, many stories ligh, has several domes, and caves jnder it. Four sects own it and solliers are stationed here also to keep them from fighting. Only last year three men were killed here in a free for all to settle the question as to who had a right to sweep it. out. The sepulchre of the Virgin Mary, the tomb )f Absalom, the pools of Siloam and Jove and many other places were visited, but I have neither time nor pace to describe them. I have tried to give you a short iketch of lower Palistine, not as seen by one prejudiced in any way. but just as it is. The city has about 50,000 inhabitants, of all nations, colors and creeds and a hard lot they ire. Will mail this from C'ario, Egypt, as there has not been a mail tiere for over three weeks and Turkish postal laws are very queer, as only a part of the mail sent out ever reaches its destination.

The center or the siorm ?i nan nna rain on Monday June Imi seemed to be around the vicinity of Bethel Just 4 miles south of Abbeville on the Snake road. Ills generally thought immediately after an accident of any kind the ttliualion in likely to be exaggerxted, but. not so iu this Instance is the writer'lias been through the storm beat region and rinds Irom observation the following: Mr. VV. 1'. Hiiintuond and hands' crops btidly damaged. tenants planting over. Mr. W. T. MaOlll, J. P. and A K. Drennan, 3. E. Hammond, W. T.

Mr. George Wardlaw was badly dumaucd and will have to replant a large portion of his crop". Messrs S. N. Neel, \V. H. McAllister. J. M. Maury and J. K.

His crops was badly damaged and a number of ncres will have to be replanted. Ou down this road hut little damage was done to crops save the blowing down and tangling up of toe gralu crops. Just below Mr. Watsons a colored Baptist Ch-urch "Walnut Grove" was razed to the ground and now lies a pile of rutns. Messrs Wilson brothers sustained heavy damage to crops on the Cable place, which will nearly all have to bo planted over. Mr. J. M. Link suffered considerable damage to crops and will have much to replant. Mr. J. l>. McGaw will also have to replant a large portion of his crops. Messrs W. J. I-Mwards, H. I'. Metis.

"that *>uch effort be made through 08 "Boards of Trade and other local or- th "ganizations. In thi^ effort we pledge Id "our earnest support and co-operation." dc The objects of this Association, and ^ all the efforts of its members, being to ^ develop and build up the States within our territory by increase of population and industrial enterprise, we especinLy u realize bow much good can be accom- ? plished in this direction by an exhibi- y? tiou of the prodccte of the several w States at the St. Louis Exposition, where it would attract the favorable j attention of huudreds of thousands of people of the populous Northern States VI from which we must hope to secure immigration. It is for this reason that we urge upon the people of the several ^ States within our territory, who should y( be equally interested with us. in our work, the imnortance of taking active n aud immediate steps toward creating a r? popular sentiment that will demand cf In the Legislatures of the several States pi that they shall make sufficient appro- 2C priation to defray the expense of mak- m ing such exhibits as will reflect credit ?s upon the States making them. All classes of citizens should be interested . in this movemeut, for it is for the bene.fit of all, aud we would suggest that action be taken through Boards of 111 Trade, Chambers of Commerce, City ai Councils, County Commissioners, tl Farmers' Clubs, State and County Ag- b< ricultural and Horticultural Societies, f0 aud other organizations representing ^ the people. The time is short in which to make preparation ; work should be- . gin immediately and be continued until the object is achieved. [From J. W.
