The kindness of our friends and neighbors
Was so abundant during the Illness and
death of our precious lime Margaret, that we
may not be able to thank all of them personally;
we therefore take this means of extending
our heartfelt thanks to all those who so
lovingly shared our burdens in this our
darkest hour of trial and grief.

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 ,

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

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

The church is large, many stories

are stationed here also to keep
them from fighting. Only last year
three men were killed here in a free

Egypt, as there has not been a mail

postal laws are very queer, as only a
part of the mail sent out ever reaches
its destination. The time must come
when Turkey will be blotted from the
map. The Sultan has got a dynamo

As we arc often asked "how are the crops
un route No.!t hIuco the storm?" wc will endeavor
to give a brief synopsis ol the outlook
for the iniormation of all interested.
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. Sanders, Lewis Kamey
and Mrs. Amanda Hamey will all have
to renlant over, tlielr entire crop1* being entirly
destroyed. 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. Thornton suffered slight
damages to their crops.
Evans brothers suffered considerable dam
nge and will have to replant or tHke chances
rjn auoui iu ui i.j -'uirc.
Mrs. Glbert aud hands suffered but slightly.
Mr. J. 10. Evr>n? sustained considerable loss
and is replanting a portion of his crop.
Mr. A. Iv. Watson wasdlnctiy in the storm
track aud suffered Irom wind an well as hall
and ralu, three tenement houReson his place
were wrecked and blown down, 7 or 8 forest
oaks just around his dwllltng were uprooted
and twisted oil. 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. Will
McKlnzie, Allen McCanty and It. W. Knox
were also damaged, both grain and cotton
crops.
Iu the Sharon section but slight damages
was sustained.
lu the Fiatwoods JMr. J. R. Woodhurst
sustained considerable damage. Gilliam

jrain in that section suffered some loss from

Corn is looking betier in the pant few days
3f sunshine una will come out ol Its "kinks"
pet.
Cotton is very small for this season of the
year ami during the heavy rains of the past
week has gotten pretty grassy. Altogether
the Interest of the /armors along this storm*wept
region is anything Dul encournging,
out these men are plucky farmers, lull of
jnerey and vim and are hard at work deterulned
to do their part, and we think success
iwaits the efforts of such men always.

THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE, ar
Pe
th
'I'lic Sontli Should Make Appropriate _p
Exhibit*.
At a meeting of Southeastern Railway
Lauti and Industrial, Agents' As- "
sociation,-an organization composed of Pr
the heads of the Land, Industrial aud
I inmigratiou Departments of the rail- er
ways south'of the Potomac aud Ohio pr
Rivers, ami east of the Mississippi er
itiver, held at Miami, Florida, March ro
6, 15)03, the following resolution was w;
adopted: m
"Resolved, That appreciating the
"great value that an exhibition of the
"products of the several States within m
"the territory of this Association at re
"the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, In
"to be held at St. Louis, in 1904, would ti<
"be in inducing immigration to those tr:
"States, we would earnestly urge upou ^
"the people of those States the impor
"tance of early aud active effort to se"cure
such exhibition by legislative
"appropriation, and would suggest *?
"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.
