Pressly, Mission* ary From the Associate Re formed Presbyterian Church, Tells Something of Mexican Conditions?Agrarian Troub les Koot or ujvii. Mexico is possibly the richest in re ources of the Latin republics. The ex entof territory is about equal-to all that >ortion of our country east of the Missis ippi River to ths Atlantic Coast and from he Lakes' to the Gulf of Mexico. The opulatlon given by the last census ie Ifteen millions, more than half being de cendants' ofthd* Aborlginees, two-thirds )f the remainder are Creole or mixed, and he remainder of European blood. The il iteracy of the country as a whole is to be amented The story that such a condition resents explains in a measure the die urbed state of politics and destructive evolution that has existed for the last bree years. Of the fifteen millions of eople, more than eleven millions are illit rate. Mexico became a sovereign and inde endent country in 1857 and has as such emained excepting the short time of the iVench intervention, with Maxmilian as imperor, during the decade beginning pith 1860. A constitution was adopted on he 5th of February, 1857, and a republic >nly in nam? was launched. This step vas premature; the people were not ready or self-government; the illiteracy of the nasses made it impossible for them to mow and understand the rights of citizen ihiil. The means' for enlightening the nasses were few; the edition of any of he newspapers published in the capital sity was limited to a few thousand ; there vas only one railroad connecting Vera }ruz with Mexico City; no mail facilities; io poet offices except ih the cities and nore important towns. As late as 1880 he postage on a letter was twenty-five on fa The country from the time of its inde >endence, first declared in 1810, had been he stage of internal disruption and al nost continued revolution. The struggle if the illustrious Juarez which terminated a the adoption of the Constitution, the onfiscation of the vast estates, convents, oonasteries and churches, was the rneas tre that paved? the way for the era of >eace and 'prdaperfty under the adminis ration of Presrfdbn't Djaz. The Church of tome, not ?& knowu in the United States, tb*-?rrogai>t possessor of three-fifths f all the personal property and real estate if Mexico, the sole ruler of the oppressed, ffnorant millions. The simplest truths of aorality have never been instilled Into tht eopte, nor imbibed'by them. Moral law a thtHridividdai, in the home, in the state ,nd camtfeh, is a? prliieipte of which the aasses are us ignorant as the peopfe of larkest Afrf^'i Ignorance, superstition ,nd vice is the product of the Roman ;hurch in Mexico, and has been a power in :eeping the multitudes in their decadent onditloiv, more powerful in its influence or ignorance than all the agencies em doy^d the last^thirty years for the uplift ng, elevating 'and civilizing of the coun ty Since 1880 more than twenty thousand Qiies of railroad have been constructed md operated successfully; and for tho last ive years by the Mexicans alone. The oining of silver and copper has Ijeen a re ource of great importance, giving em >loyment to thousands of men ; ne* nodes and methods In the agricultural mrsuitshave given a new Impetus to this >ranch of industry, and new branches of ndustry have been developed all over the epublic that have brought wealth to the souhtry and' large profits to the promot irepthe last:,of these are the crude oil iepoeits, which are found on the Gull soast, and which are classed as the richest n the ; world. Millions of dollars have >een invested in this industry. i The couhfcry has made more progress in ;he last' thirty years than in the two cen ;uries before. In this generation of thirty peare a new Mexico has come on the stage )f life and a majority of them have come !rom the humble class. They have been axed to support the government while ;he landlords, the aristocratic, have not x>rne their proportionate part of taxation. 3n the contrary they have legislated igainst the humble tillers of the soil, theii ands have been confiscated, and burdens oo heavy to bear have been increasing 'rom year to year. The aristocratic land jroprietor was growing richer and the la jorer more and more oppressed. The causes that brought aoout tne de position of President Diaz, and the over throw of his government lasting for more ,han thirty years, are many; but the greatest one is the land question, the igrarian problem. The country had nc jooner rounded out its first century than this serious problem camo to the front md it found a champion in the person ol Mr. Francisco I. Madero. He found thou sands that were ripe for his standard and the aristocratic land owner began to real ize the energy, vigor and determination oi the new move. Some of the ways pro posed were the taxation of landed estates In such a way as would compel the owners to sell; the appraisement of lands by t commission and take them over for th< government, the confiscation of them, etc Mr. Madero understood that the masses had no representation in the government they were not justly compensated for theii labor, few were land owners, and citizen ship was only nominal. With such nobis purposes and the will and valor to enun ciate and stand for them, he was over whelmingly elected President. His aspi rations were pinned down by the aristo crats and their satellites, and the only waj to save their estates and power was soughi in the assassination of Mr. Madero, ant the unfortunate step by the class of mer responsible fer the barbarous act has brought the government to ruin. Ths country has been desolated and anarch j sweeps over it from center to circumfer ence. The railroads have been torn up bridges blown up, engines by the scores have been dynamited, the cars both pas senger and freight have been destroyed thousands burned, the mines and smelters closed, business paralyzed, haciendas and farms abandoned, and the homes are un der the cloud of sorrow and distress .on ac count of those that have been forcibly taken from home or have fallen on battle fields in defense of a vital principle, citl zenship and proprietorship. Some will ask how is the Mexican ques tion to be settled.

Such a step would arouse the sav age instincts of the people in a common cause. When the word came to Tampico that Vera Cruz had fallen, it was not the property-holder that was intensely incensed and enraged ; but the work ing class, and the first night from seven o'clock in the evening until after midnight, in frantic spirit thousands pa raded the streets vociferating huzzas for Huerta and the Mexican Republic and death to the gringo (Americans). This spirit has been rampant in all the country. There are many questions that will have to be firmly settled, and the agrarian prob lem is the most Important of all. The ruling, landed aristocrat must go, and with him hydra-headed Church in politics. Best Crop in the County. W. F. Langley, who is farming near Clatworthy's Cross Iioatls in this County, has the best crop, as a whole, in the Coun ty today. Mr. Langley is both intelligent and en ergetic, two essential elements of the good farmer, and the observer may read while he runs that Mr. Langley's crop has not suffered for the constant use of both the prerequisites to good farming.

Importance of Healthy Kidneys Abbeville Readers Should Learn to Keep the Kidneys Well. The kidneys have a big work to do. All the blood in the body is coursing through the kidneys constantly to be freed of j^pisonous matter. It is a heavy enough tusk when the kidneys are well, but a cold, chill, fever or some thoughtless exposure is likely to irritate, inflame and congest the kid neys and interrupt the purifying work.* Then the aching frequently begins and in often accompanied by some ir regularity of the urine?too frequent passages, sediment or retention. Thosands testify to the wonderful merit of Doan's Kidney Pills, a rem edy for the kidueys only, that has been used in kidney troubles 50 years. You will make no mistake in follow- , ing this Abbeville citizen's advice. J. L.Clark, Fort Pickens, Abbeville, 9. C., says: "We have used Doan's Kidney Pills, getting them at P. B.Speed's Drug Store, and they have brought I such satisfactory results that we cau recommend them. They were taken for backaches and other symptoms of weak kidneys. Prompt relief was had."

Edwards will retire from that office voluntarily and ;urn the town over to his successor and a lew council. He is a native of Abbeville iod a citizen of Edgefield by adoption, where he found his wife. For a number of pears he has been successfully practicing nedicine here and he is the county physi ;ian. He is a young man with many years ret to live in the natural course of life. |It is nothing more than justice to say of Mr. Edwards, that under his administra tion as mayor, Edgefield has been better governed than ever before in it's political listory. There has been better older, and i marked decrease in the matter of the licit sale of whisky. Besides, improve ments in the town have been steady ind as great ais our limited finances would permit. While the credit for securing the jlectric light plant cannot be given to Dr Edwards irdividually, it was established during his administration, and met with lis entire approval from the begining, and is mayor he forwardod the' enterprh e io the best of his ability.?Edgefield Chronicle. * Palate pleasing candy.
