And now there is talk of Japan going to war with .Russia. The State Baptist Association meets at Gaffney Citj-, Cherokee county, on the 29th inst. Dr. F. T. Pressley, of Not th Carolina, has been elected Presi dent of Erskine College, vice W. M. Grier, deceased. Dr. Burrows has severed his con nection with the First Baptist Church of Augusta and accepted a perforate in Nashville, Tenn. The supreme court of Illinois has decided that shade trees on the street in front of a house be long to the owner of the house and that a telephone company which cut the limbs of a tree without permission was liable for damage. The Boston Herald is authority "for the statement that in the past year there have been 1.456 arrests for drunkenness in Manchester, New Hampshire, and almost identically the same number in Springfield. Massachusetts. These are two New England cities of similar size-each has 60,000 population. The coincidence would not be notable where it not for the fact that Springfield is a license town, having 47 liquor saloons, while Mansfield is a pro hibition city, with no saloons. With these figures staring one in the face, might we not well say : "What's the use?" Wheat, Followed by Cotton. A Fort Mill township farmer who was in Yorkville on Thursday, reports that there will undoubtedly be a great reduction in. the cotton acreage in that township next year. The farmers are sowing more small grain than in any previous season sines the war, and they are putting it in as it should be done. Many of them have broken their lands with two-hor? plows, har rowed them well, and put in the seVd with drills. They are also tuing a considerable amount of commercial fertilizer. Mr. B. M. Faris, of the Gold Hill neighborhood, is reported as hav ing determined on quite an inter esting experiment. He has put four acres of real good land in wheat with a view to planting cot ton after the harvest. He calcu lates that he will be able to harvest the wheat about the first of June, and then he will follow, as soon as possible, with cotton of the "King" variety. The experiment promises to be a very important one. There have been several cases in this section where cotton planted as late as the middle of Juue yielded good crops. Some of Mr. Faris's neighbors are reported as preferring that hn would follow his wheat with peas. They think that if the cotton ex periment should prove a r uccesB, it will result in a still further in crease in the cotton crop in this section. Others, however, will look on the matter from a different standpoint, believing, as they do, that after a farmer has provided for an -abundance of com, wheat and oats,'etc., he is not apt to suf fer by an over-production of cot con.-Yorkville Enquirer. Gantt's Anecdotes. Col. T. Larry Gannt is generally considered the daddy of the dispen sary law. During all the recent dispensary*controversy, there has not come from Colonel Gantt's versatile and facile pen -a single word on the subject. Colonel Gantt is in Columbia this week and yesterday he was twitted about his dense silence on the dispensary. He replied as follows. "Once a negro was hunting and his dogs treed a skunk in a hollow log. The negro chopped the log open and then the smell of the skunk at once gol in a full day's work. The negro turned off in disgust, saying : .You ain't no possum you ain't no corn. I dnnna w'at you is, but Iee gwinter go off an' lei? you to stink your fool self to death."

Joe Wood, of Florence, Ala., stating bis views on the Philippine question, says : I am delighted with the Philip pine islands. I have no doubt that a little puah and energy thi3 fall will crush out the 'Aguinaldo insurrection. Out of 9,000,000 in these islands, I do not think that | he has more than 20,000 soldiers and in a square fight 5,000 Ameri cans would tear them j to pieces. All that is ne cessary to crush them out at onoe is for the army to get them and | keep at them until the work is done. The evil features of these islands have been exaggerated to our peo ple. Their extent is so great from north to south and the variation of the altitude is such as there is a great variety of climate and variety of productions. Americans will find this an excellent field for their energies and the wealth-producing powers of these islands under American influence will be very great. The action of some people in the United States in asserting that the people of the Philippines ought to have independence does a great deal of harm and assists Aguinaldo in maintaining the insurrection, as he publishes all assertions by Americans of that character and he teils his supporters that, if they hold out until wiuter,jindepenenoe will be given them. It also has a bad effect in this-that people who are disposed to be favorable to us and who desire us to govern the islands fear to assert themselves because they know that if they should do so and the Americans should abandon them they would be in great danger of their lives and in all probability their pro perty would be confiscated.
