THY WILL. BE DONE.
When earth is reached with sunny blue.
And life is but the caroling
Of memories of pleasant hue,
And thoughts that can no sadness bring,
How easy then it is to say,
On bended knee, day unto day:
"Thy will be done."
But when the morning's rosy light
We see not through our tear-dimmed eyes.
And Peace has winged herself from sight,
And bird-songs are but mockeries;
How hard a thing it is to say,
On bended knee, day nnto day:
"Thy will be done."
Thrice blessed they, or high or low,
Or rich or poor, In youth or age
YVJQO cajnuy wais. uiiuu^u ?cai ui
And con life's lessons page by page,
And with an honest heart can say,
And with a child-like trust can pray:
"Thy will be done."
THE DIVINE RESCUE.
Salvation WJtlioat 31 oney?Death Robbed
of Its Terrors.
Brookta*n, Sept. 2.?Rev. Dr. Talmage,
who is still absent in the south
Pacific, has selected as the subject of
today's sermon through the press "The
Rescue," the text chosen being Acts
xvi, 31, "Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and thou shalt be saved."
Jails are dark, dull, damp, loathsome
places even now, but they were worse
id the apostolic times. I imagine today
we are standing in the Philippian dungeon.
Do you not leel the chilJ? Do
you not hearthe groans of those incarcerated
ones who lor 10 year3 have not
seen the sunlight and the deep sigh of
women who remember their lather'3
house and mcurn over their wasted
estates? Listen again. It is the cough
of a c&BSumptive or the struggle of one
" * ' ? Vah
la me nignimare 01 a great uvuui. j.
listen again and hear a culprit, his chains
rattling as he rolls over in his dreams,
and you say, "G-od, pity the prisoner."
But there is another scuad in that prison.
It is the song of joy and gladness.
What a place tc sing in! The music
comes winding through the corridors of
the prison, ana in all the dark wards the
whisper is heard: "What's thai? What's
thai?"
It is the song of Paul and Silas. They
cannot sleep. They have been whipped
very badly whipped. The long gashes
en their backs are bleeding yet. Theyllie
flat on the old ground, their feet fast in
wooden sockets, and of course they cannot
sleep. But they can sing. Jailer,
what are you doing with these people?
Why have they been put in here? Oh,
they have been trying to make the world
better. Is that all? That is all. A
pit for Joseph, a lion's cave for Daniel,
a blazing furnace for Shadrach, clubs for
John Wesley, an anathema for Philipp
Melanchthon, a dungeon for Paul and
Silas.
But while we are standing in the gloom
of the Philippian dungeon, and we hear
mmnli'nn TT/\ir>aa nf nnK and OTOfin (
wjuvj i viwu _j???
and blasphemy and halleluiah, suddenly
an earthquake! The iron bars of the
prison twist, the pillars crack oft, the
solid masonry begins to heave, and all <
the doors swing open. The jailer, feel- 1
id? himself, responsible for these prison- i
ers and believing in his pagan ignorance i
suicide to be honorable?since Brutus
killed himself and Cato killed himself, !
and Casslus killed himself?puts his '
own heart, proposing with on? st-ong 1
keen thrust to put an end to his excite- 1
ment and agitation. But Paul cries out: *
"Stop, stop! l)o thyself no harm. We
are all here."
Then I see the jailer runniDg through ]
the dust and amid the ruin of that pri- 1
son, and I see him throwing himself
down at the feet of these prisoners, cry? i
ing out: "What shall I dc? What shall i
I dc?" Did Paul answer: "Get out of j
this place before there is another earth- I
quake. Put handcuffs and hopples on i
these other prisoners, lest they get i
awav?" No word of that kind. His i
compact, thrilling, tremendous answer, 1
memorable all through earth and heav- i
en, was, "Believe on the Lord Je3us <
Christ, and thou shalt be saved."
Well, we have all read of the earthquke
in Lisbon, in Lima, in Aleppo and
in Caracas, but we live in a latitude
where in all our memory there has not
been one severe volcanic disturbance.
And yet we have seen 50 earthquakes.
Here is a man who has been building up
a large fortune. His bid on the money 1
market wss felt in all the cities. He
thinks he ha3 got beyond all annoying
rivalries in trade, and he says to himself
"Now I am free and safe from all possible
perturbation." But in 1857 or in
1873 a national panice strikes the foundation
of the commercial world, and crash
goes all that magnificent business estabhsement.
Here is a man who has built up a very
beautiful horns. His daughters have
just come home from the seminary with
diplomas of graduation. His sons have
started in life, honest, temperate and
pure. When the evening lights are
struck, there is a happy and unbroken
family circle. But there has been an
accident down at Long Branch. The
young man ventured too far cut in the
surf. The telegraph hurled the terror
up to the city. An earthquake struck
under the foundation of that beautiful
home.
The piano closed; the curtains dropped;
the laughter hushed. Crash go all
those domestic hopes and prospects and
expectations! So my friends, we have
all felt the shaking down of some great
trouble, and there was a time when, we
were as much excited as this man of the
text, and we.cried out as he did:
"What shall I do? What shall 1 do?"
The same reply that the apostle made
to him is appropriate to us, "Believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt
be saved."

Tnere are some documents 01 so ihuc
importance that you do not care to put
any more than your last name under
them, or even your initials, but there
are 3ome documents of so great importance
that you write out your lull names
So the Saviour in some parts of the Bible
is called "Lord," and in other part,
of the Bible he 1? called "Jesu3," and
in other part3 of the Bible he is called
"Christ," but that there might be no
mistake about this passage ail three
names come together, "Lord Jesus
Christ."
Now, who is this being that you want
me to trust in and believe in? Men
sometimes come to me with credentials
and certificates of good character, but
I cannot trust them. There is some
dishonesty in their looks that makes me
know that I shall be cheated if I confide
in them. You cannot put your heart's
confidence in a man until you know what
stuff he is made of, and am I unreasonTrrV*/art

that you want me to trust in? Xo man
would think of venturing his Hie on a
vessel going cut to sea that had never
been inspected.
Xo; you must have the cerliOcate
hung amidships, telling how many tons
it carries and how long ago it was built,
and who built it, and all about it. And
you cannot expect me to lisk the cargo
oi my mortal interests on board any
craft till ycu tell me what it is made oi,
and where it was made, and what it is.
T ool? rrAn orlir? thio ic VOil

want me to tru3t in, you tell me he is a
very attractive persoD. Contemporary
writers describe his whole appearance as
being resplendent. There was no need
for Christ to tell the children to come
to him. "SuSer little children to come
unto me," was not spoken to the children.
It was spoken to the disciples.
The children came readily enough without
aDy invitation. No sooner did Jesu3
appear than the little ones jumped from
their mothers' arms, au avalanche of
b*autv and love, into his lap. Christ did
not ask John to put his head down on
his bosom. John cou'd not help but
put his head there. I suppose a look
at Christ was just to love him. How attractive
his mauueil Why, when tbey
saw Christ coming alone the street they
ran into their houses, and they wrapped
up their invalids as quick ub they could
and brought them out that he might look
at them. Ob, there was something so
pleasant, so invitirg, so cheerlnr in
everything ha oid, in his very look.
When these sick ones were brought out
did he sa}: "Do not bring before me
these sc-ret? Do not trouble me with
these leprosies?" No, no. There was
a kind lock; there was a gentle were;
there was a healing touch. They cculd
nrtf 1utcov f.-iim him.
In addition to tb'13 softness of character
there was a fiery momentum. How
the kings of the earth turned pale! Here
is a plain man with a few sailors at bis
back, coming cfi' the sea of Galilee, going
up to the palace of the C?iars,
making that palace quake to the foundations
and uttering a word of mercy
and "kindness which throbs through all
the earth and through all the heavens,
and through all ages. Oh, he was a
loving Christ. But it was not effeminacy
or insipidity of character. It was
accompanied with majesty, infinite and
omnipotent. Lest this world should not
realize his earnestness, this Christ
mounts the cross.
I think there are many under the influence
of the Spirit of God who are saying,
"I will tru3t hisn if you will only
tell me how," and the great question
asked by many 13, "How, how?" And
while I answer your question I lookup
and utter the prayer which Rowland
Hill so often uttered in the mid3t of his
sermons, "Master, help!" How are
you to tiu3t in Christ?
Just as you trust any one. You trust
your partner in business with important
things. If a commercisl house gives you
a note payable three months hence, you
expect the payment of that note at the
end of three months. Ycu have perfect
confidence in their word and in their abilitv.
Or. again, vou go home today.
You expect there will be lood on the
table. You have confidence in that.
Now, 1 ask you ..o have the same confidence
in the Lord Jesu3 Christ. He says
"You oelieve; I take away your sins,"
and they are all taken away. "What!"
you say, "before I pray any more, before
I read my Bible any more, before I
cry over my sins any more?" Yes, this
moment. Believe with all your heart
and you are saved. Why, Christ is only
waiting to get from you what you give to
scores of people every day. What is
thai? Confidence. If these people whom
you trust day by day are more worthy
than Christ, if they are more faithful
than Christ, if they have done more than
Christ ever did, then give them the preference,
but if you really thiDk that
Christ is as trustworthy a3 they are then i
deal with him as fairly.
"Oh," says some one in a light way,
l!I believe that Christ was born at
Bethlehem, and that he died on the i
:ro8s." Do you believe it with your i
head or your heart? I will
illustrate the difference. You I
ire in your house. In the morning
you open a newspaper, and you read <
low Captain Braveheart ou the sea
risked his life for the salvation of his
passengers. You say: "What a grand :
fellow he mu3t haye been! His family
ieserves very well of the country."
i'ou fold the newspaper and sit down at i
the table and perhaps do not think of i
Lhati ncident again. That is historical i
Faith. i
But now you are on the sea and it is 1
light, and you are asleep, and vou are
awakened by the shr iek of "Fire!" You '
:u3hout on the deck. You hear, amid
the wringing of the hands and the fainting,
the cry: "No hope! No hope! We '
are lost! We are lost!" The sail puts
out its wing of fire, the rope makes a
burning ladder in the night heavens, the
spirit of wreck hisses in the wave and
on the hurricane deck shakes out its
banner of smoke and darkness. "Down
with the lifeboats!" cries the captain.
"Down with the lifeboats!" People 1
rush into them. The boats are about
full. Boom only for one more man.
You are standing on the deck beside the
captain.
Who shall it be? You or the captain?
The captain says, "You." You jump
and are saved. He stands there and
ales. Now, you believe that Captain
Braveheart sacrificed himself fo: his
passengers, but you believe it with love,
with tear3, with hot and long continued
exclamations, with grief at his loss and
joy at your deliverance. This is saving
faith?in other words, what you believe
with all the heart, and believe in regard
to yourself. On this hinge turns my
sermon?aye, the salvation of your immortal
soul. You often go across a
bridge you know nothing about. You
do not know who built the bridge, you
do not know what material it is made of
but you come to it and walk over it and
ask no questions. And here 13 an arched
bridge blasted from the "Rxk of Ages"
and built by the Architect of the whole
universe, spanning the dark gulf between
sin and righteousness, and all God asks
ycu is to walk across it, and you start
and you come to it and you stop, and
you go a little way on, and you stop and
you fall back, and you experiment, You
say, "How do I kuow that bridge win
bold me?" instead of marching on with
fum step, asking no questions, but feeling
that the strength of the eternal God
is under ycu.
Oh, was there ever a prize proti'ered
so cheap a3 pardon and heaven are offered
to you? For how much? A million
dollars? It is certainly worth more
than that. But cheaper than that you
can have. it. Ten thousand dollars?
Less than that. Five thousand dollars?
Less than that. One dollar? Less than
that. One farthing? Less than that.
"Without mcney aad without price."
No money to pay. No journey to take.
No pennance to sufl'er. Only just one
decisive action of the soul, "Believe on
the Lord Jesus Christ aod thou shalt be
saved."
Shall I try to tell you what it is to be
savec? I cannot tell you. No man, no
angel can tell you. But I can hint at it
for my text brings me up to this point,
"Thcu shalt be saved." It means a
happy lifeihere and a praceful death and
a blissful eternity. It is a grand thing
to go to sleep at night and to get up in
the morning and to do business all day
feelinsr that all is right between my
heart and God* Xo accident, no sickDe33,
no persecution, no peril, no sword
can do me any permanent damage. 1
am a forgiven child of God, and he is
bound to see me through. He has sworn
he will see me through. The mountains
may depart, the earth may burn,
the light of the stars may be blown out
by the blast of the judgment hurricane,
but life and death, things present and
things to come are mine. Yea, further
than that, it means peaceful death.
Mrs. Hemans, Mrs. Sigouraey, Dr.
Young and almost all the poets hive
said handsome things about death.
There is nothlDg beautiful alout it.
When we stand by the white rigid features
of those whom we love and they
give no answering pressure of the hand
aJJU LiU L C LUl iiilii; AiOO Ul bUO n v uv
not want anybody poetizing around
about us. Death is loathsomeness and
midnight and the wringing of the heart
until the tendrils snap and curl m the
torture unless Christ shall be with us.
I confess to you an infinite fear, a consuming
horror of death unless Christ
shall be with me. i would rather go
down into a cave of wild beasts or a jungle
of reptiles than into the grave unless
Christ goes with me. Will you tell me
???HllirTTT r Ml Ml III
that X am to be carried out from my
bright home and put away in the darkness?
I cannot bear darkness. At the
first coming of the evening I must
have the gas lighted, and the farther on
in lite I get the more I like to have my
friends round about me.
And am I to be put oil' for thousands
of years in a dark place, with no one to
speak tc? When the holidays come and
the gifts are distributed, shall I add no
ioy to the "Merry Christmas" or the
"Haypy New Year?" Ah do not point
dcwn to the hole in the ground., the grave
8iia can it a oeautnui piac?. uniess
there be some supernatural illumination
I shudder back from it. Mv whole nature
revolts at It. But now this glorious
lamp is lifted above the grave, and
all the darkness is go*e, and the way is
clear. I look into it now without a sing'e
shudder. Now my anxiety is not
about death. My anxiety is that I may
live aright, for Ikuow that if my life is
consistent, when I come to the last hour
and this voice is silent, and these eyes
are closed, and these hands with which I
beg for your eternal salvation to day are
folded over the still heart, that then I
only begin to live.
What power is there in anything to
chill me in the last hour if Christ wrap3
around me the skirt of his own garment?
What darkness can fall upon my eyelids
then, amid the heavenly daybreak? 0
death, I will not fear thee then! Back
to thy cavern of darkness, thou robber
of all tbe earth. Fiy, thou despoiler of
families. With this battleax I hew thee
in twain from helmet to sandal, the voice
of Christ soundmg all over the earth and
through the heavens: ;'0 death, I will
be thy plague. 0 grave, I will be thy
destruction."
To be saved is to wake up in the presence
of Christ. You know when Jesu3
was upon tbe earth how happy he made
every house he went into, and when he
brings as up to his house in heaven how
great^shall be our glee! His voice has
more music in it than is to be heard in
all the oratorios of eterni'cy. Talk not
about banks dashed with till iresceDce.
jesu3 is las cmer Dioom 01 Heaven. we
shall see the very face that beamed sympathy
in Bethany and take the very hand
that dropped its blood from the short
beam of the cross. Oh, I want to stand
in eternity with him. Toward that harbor
I steer. Toward that goal I run. I
shall be satislied when I awake in nis
likeness.
Oh, brosen hearted men and women,
how sweet it will be in that good land to
pour all your hardships and breavements
and losses into the loving ear of Christ
and then have him explain why it was
best for you to be sick, and why it was
beat for you to be widowed, and why
it was best for you to be persecuted, and
why it was best for you to be tried, and
have him point to an elevation proportionate
to your disquietude here saying,
"You suffered with me on earth; come
up now and be glorified with me m heaven."
Some one went into a house where
tbere had been a good deal of trouble
and said to the woman there, "You
3eemtobe lonely." "Yes," she said;
"I am lonely." "How many in the
famdy?" "Only myself." "Have you
had any children?" "I had seven children."
"Where are the\?" "Gone."
"All gone?" "All." "All dead?"
"All." Then she breathed a long sigh
into the loneliness and said, "Oh, sir, I
nave Deen goou a momer 10 me grave."
And so there are hearts here that are
utterly broken down by the bereavements
oflife. I piont you today to the
eternal balm of heaven. Oh, aged men
and women who have knelt at the thorne
of grace for threescore year and ten, will
not yourdecreptilude change for the leap
of a heart when you come to look face
to face upon him whom having not seen
you love? On, that will be the Good
Shepherd, not out in the night and
watching to keep ofl the wolves, but
with lamb reclining on the sunlit hill.
That will be the Captain of our salvation
not amid the roar and crash and
boom of battle, nut amid his disbanded
troops keeping victorious festivity. That
will be the Bridegroom ot the church
coming from atar, the bride leaning upon
his arm while he looks down into her
face and says: "Behold, thou art fair,
my love! Behold, thou art fair!"
WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN.
As Ktported by 0. W. ISauer tor the
Week Eadlag Sspf. 3rd,
jLutJ temperature was sumswnat ruwer
than during tne previous week but
there was an average daily excess of
temperature of from two to three degrees
over the normal,quite evenly distributed
throughout the week. The
coast regions were relatively warmer
than the interior of the State. Highest
temperature 96 at Oakwood on the
30th, and 94 at Spartanburg on the
31st; lowest 56 at Greenville on the 28.
There was more sunshine than during
the previous week. Daring the latter
portion of the week there was
much haze or smoke, which caused
light fleecy clouds to form during the
hottest parts of the day through which
the sun shed a diffused oranged colored
light. The nights were uniformly
clear after 9 p. m.
There were few rainy days, although
the rain that fell on the 28th throughout
the greater portion of the State except
on the coast where the showers
occurred on the?28th, left but small, if
any sections of the ^tate without rain.
It was generally needed and proved
very beneflcia), except that the showers
on tbe 28th were very heavy at
places washing some lands badly.
Cotton bolls are maturing and opening
rapidly and picking has by this
time become general. As nearly all
fields have been gone over, the actual
condition of the fields can be judged,
for instance, the fruitage and the damage
by sh6dding and rust, and the rotting
of bolls. Shedding and rust are
not as general as nereioiore ar.nouga
the reports of damage from those
sources continue, particularly from localities
having a sandy soil, where,
also, there is no top crop, making
growth having stopped. On stlffer or
heavier soil the plant has attained a
very rank growth of weed, but the
fruitage is' deficient, owing it is
thought to the rapid growth of the
plant when the July rainS Began. This
luxuriant growth of weed has given
crop a deceptive appearance heretofore,
and its aggregate condition must be
placed at considerable less than an average
crop. There is considerable and
quite,general complaint of rotting of
bolls near the ground.
The late corn crop is fast maturing
and will not yield as well as the early
planted but is nevertheless a fair crop.
Fodder about all gathered in very good
condition.
Considerable hay was made during
the past week under favorable weather
conditions, although the showers in
the fore part of the week drenched
some newly cut grass injuring it
slightly.
Peas are beginning to make pods and
are doing very well. Some pea-vine

The rich harvest is still under way
and the yield is most encouraging for
a good average. Shipments of new
rice have already been made to Northern
matkets.
The yield of sweet potatoes is large,
but the growth of the tuber was so
rapid that many are split, and a dry
rot has affected the crop in places.
Ilutabagas and other varieties of
turnips are growing finely where a
good stand wa3 obtained, which was
generally the case.
A large portion of the cabbage crop
has rotted, but other seasonable garden
products are plentiful, having been
favored by the weather.
On the whole the past week's weather
was favorable for growing and
maturing crops.
A DAUGHTER'S LETTER.
A TOUCHING DEFENSE OF A DEAD
FATHER'S CAREER.
ThePltlfal Side cf the Kecent RIackvllle
Tragedy?An Explanation From Constable
(Jrlbban'a^ e dent DAughter?The
Story.
Columbia, S. C, Sept, 4.?There is
another chapter of the recent tragedy
in Glackviile, in which Liquor Constable
Gribben and Mr. Sol Grown iost
their lives, that presents a very pathetic
side to the picture. The chapter is from
the pen of the deceased constable's
daughter, and it was received by Governor
Tillman Saturday. The constable's
daughter, under the caption "A Few
ivciuai&s i?u J^Apiaui ^uattno xuui
Excellency, Governor 1J. It. Tillman,"
writes as follows, endeavoring, as any
true daughter should, to shield her father's
career:
You are no doubt aware of the circustances
of the butchery ot our dear
father.
Sudden and unthought of as was the
shock or his tragic death?3udden a3
the shock was to his widow and orphan
children?it scarcely seems as if
it was near so bad or unlooked and
uncalled for as the defaming of his
character by Col. Mike Brown and Edmund
Felder, which neither one of
them would have dared to do, or ever
did as long as there was a breath of
life in his dear body.
No one would be surprised at the
statement of. Col. Mike Brown, who
was the brother of my father's murderers.
But for Edmund Felder, who
my father has defended from hirpself
many and many a time, it looks to
any one who knows my father and his
character, moral and otherwise, strange
and unchristian.
He was on their hot tracks the last
few days of his life and was expecting
liquor at any hour on any train or any
conveyance, in any shape or form, to
be delivered to them or called for by
them at any stations, Blackville or
other wheres, as they have been getting
it left off at different stations. Of
course it was mineral water, but it
occurs to me, and no doubt it will to
you, that innocent mineral water would
rather face its accusers, instead of
coming home roundabout ways like an 1
inlluential drunkard who has been
painting the town red and not coming
home till 2 in the morning. ;
My father always did his duty and
any other constable you choose to" send
here, who tries to do his duty, as papa
did, will be served the same way, no
doubt, as my father was, as the Jirowns
are still at large and at present it looks
as if nothing is going to be done to
them. As regards my father being discharged
by the present town council i
for lack of judgment or political faith,
owing to pledges made by town council
before being elected, there is no
truth in such a statement. The present
town council was elected by bought
negro votes, and old Simon IJrown
was the purchaser. As the present ;
town council's principles, not political,
did not agree with my papa's, he hand- ;
ed in his resignation. It wa3 accepted
with reluctance, owing to my father's
general competency and superinten- i
dence for the good of the town. They
had no idea he was going to resign and
thus avoid collision with Simon Jirown.
As he bought the election, it was supposed
that he would run the town too,
and furthermore he served as town
marshal a term during your administration.
My father joined the JJritish army
when a mere boy. lie did not like it,
neither did his friends and relatives
like his being there, so he left, owing
to the iniluence of his friends and relatives,
who where very inlluential
with the government, and to prove that
it was not desertiun pure and simple,
my father went to Scotland, then came
to America; then went back to the old
country and stayed there two years,
^ : 1 > 1 t T
pan, or toe time iu r.iugiauu, Areiauu
and Scotland, without any attempt
being made to touch him.
As to joining the United States
troops, that is what brought my poor
papa to the South. lie came in 76.
He stayed in the army about six
months. As before he did not like it,
and he applied for his dismissal. Owing
to his good behavior and good
conduct, Capt. Ciine, of Company C,
(so far as lean remember it was Capt.
Cline of Company C,) secured his papers
for an honorable discharge.
I had forgotten the circumstances
about my father leaving the Marine
Corps. I remember now that he told
me about it. lie got the colonel at
Edgefield to have his papers straightened.
The papers came out correct
If the living liars about my dead*
father were to take the trouble to find
out, they would find the papers still
correct instead of using the word
deserter."
As to being a straggler of Sherman's
army, one does not know whether to be
amused at or to pity Col. Brown's lamentable
ignorance. My father, as far
as he can remember, was at that time
between nine and twelve years of age.
AC mac cime ae was iu juciuuu wicu
bis mother.
As to his not resenting the abuse of
tbe Browns awhile ago, I am reliably
informed that my father's murderers
were in waiting for young Brown to
fight with papa and then come up and
butcher him as they did the other day.
It was a feud of long standing owing
to the fact that my lather did his duty
and did not allow the Browns to run
the town.
No matter how zealous he was in his
duty he had always the endorsement of
his superiors to support him.
When my father opened the box in
the freight deopt there was not one
word said to trim, but iirown went
home and armed the family to be ready
to butcher my farther when he made
his appearance on the streets again;
and they succeeded, but it took four
to doit. Before the light my father
offered to light all of them one at a
time, after trying his best to ward oil

The Alliance in Georgia.
Tne statement is going the rounds of
the pres3 that the Georgia Alliance has
disbanded. This is not strictly true.
The Georgia Alliance is badly disfigured,
but still in the ring. The Gan- '
caster Jteview, which is an Alliance
paper, says the present bad plight of
the Georgia Alliance seems to be due 1
to two causes, politics and mismanagement
of its State Exchange. When it
went into politics as an organization it ;
was 80,000 strong, but in a very short
time its membership was reduced over

but the beginning of the end, It seems.
The politicians who captured the organization
proved to be too big a burden
to carry. The indications are that it i
will scarcely recover from its bitter political
experience. Its late annual
meeting at Dublin was slimly attended, i
It elected officers, however, for another
year. The State Exchange, in which ;
the members had put over ?70,000, was i
closed with a debt hanging over it of
?25,000. It is thought that its organ i
will soon suspend, as it too has been
losing money heavily. The Alliance in
this State if wise will profit by the sad
experience of its Georgia brethren. 1
f
THE COTTON OUTLOOK.
Mr. Ilcstor of New Orleans Reviews the
Situation.
New Orleans, Sept. 3.? Secretary
Hester's New Orleans Cotton Exchange
report on the cotton crop was
Issued in full to-day. After stating
that the crop for 1893-04 was 7,319,870
bales, an excess of 840,132 over last
year, he says: The largest part uf the
gain was in the group
of Atlantic States, consisting
of Alabama, Georgia, Florida and
North Carolina, which ran ahead. The
Gulf States, Arkansas, Louisiana Misciacinni
and Tpnnin^op innrPSSfd 331.
v?4 ~ - '
000, while Texas dropped olT 59,000.
Mr. Hester puts'the average commercial
value of the crop at 837.50 per bale,
against 812 50 last year, 837.50 in 189192,
and the total value was 8283,118,000,
against 8284,150,000 last year and 8338,812,000
the year before, showing the
remarkable fact that while the output
of the last year has been 849,452 bales
in excess of the year before. Its commercial
value is 81,032,000 less.
Mr. Hester says with an average of
7 1-2 cents per pound which the crop
brought, planters as a class would have
been bankrupt had they adhered to
their old policy of all cotton and little
food crops ani instances the significant
fact that the cotton States produce
over 8148.000,000 of corn, nearly all of
which was consumed where grown.
In reference to acreage, he says the
published estimates are still unsatisfactory,
and comments on the Intention
of a change of the base of comparison
on that subject by the United
States Agricultural Department being
first made known through an Fogitsh
source. From this information the
statistician of the Washington Department
has written to a prominent mem
Der oi the nouse giving as nis opinion
that the cotton acreage of 1893 was
20,000,000 acres, or more than 3,000,000
acres over the heretofore published
estimates. M:. Hester announces the
result of his investigations In this
movement under a new system, saying
that several hundred thousand bales
have hitherto been credited by the
trade to Gulf States which properly belonged
to Atlantic States and that facts
show the seat of cotton production has
not been moving Westward as rapidly
as supposed.
The commercial crop in bales is given
as follows, in thousand bales for 1893 91:
Alabama, 935; Arkansas, G25; Florida,
50; Georgia, 1,125; Louisiana, 400;
Mississippi, 910; North Carolina, 425;
South Carolina, 750; Tennessee, etc.,
275; Texas and Indian Territory, 2,059.
Total crop, 7,550,000 bales.
In relation to American mills, Mr.
Hester says the season has been anything
but favorable, North or south.
On the heels of their largely decreased
Zakings forl892-93 Northernmlll3 show
a further reduction for the past season
of 80,113 bales. The effect of financial
stringency and delay as to tariff legislation
also decidedly were depressing in*
lluences in thi3 industry, and for the
first time since thi war ? set back is to
be recorded. Instead of an increase of
37, bales, which with anything like la3t
year's crop would have resulted from
bringing into full play the new spindles
added in the South at the close of last
year and the early part of the present
season, .Southern consumption ha3 fallen
off 25,333 bales. The total takings
North as shown were 1,001,173, against
1,087,280 last year and 2,11)0,700 the year
before, while the mills in the South report
as their consumption (including
takings from ports) 718.515, against
743,818 in 1892 93, and 080,080 in 189192.
Commenting on the outlook for cotton
consumption in the South, Mr.
Uest6r says with a return to normal
conditions there is promise not only for
an increase of 02,000 bales per annum
in the products of mills now in operation,
but tables show twenty-one new
mills not completed with nearly 100,000
spindles, besides thirty-six idle mills
with 130,000 spindles, a good part of
which would be brought into play. In
other words, the South has 2,500,000
spindles with a consumptive capacity
of 825,000 bales per annum.
Groverand Gorman.
Washington, Sept. G.?There wa3
a story back ot the wholesale discharge
of employes ia the government printing
oilice last week not disclosed in the
casual announcement that there had
been a reduction of the force because ol
the adjournment of congress. Of about
500 employes discharghed, nearly 300 of
them had been appointed on the political
recommendation of Senator Gorman.
The Maryland senator is chairman of
the senate printing committee. He has
been in a position to make trouble for
every public printer who did not honor
his requisitions for patronage. Under
the last Republican administration he
controlled about 200 appointments, although
he wa3 then only a majority
member of the committee instead of its
chairman. Captain II. T. Briau, the
foreman of printing, is a Gorman appointee,
and lias been retained through
several administrations on the MaryIan-!
senior's demand. Public Printer
Benedict had determined to dislodge
Brian when he took charge of the office,
but found his own nomination held up in
the senate, and Senator Gorman would
not permit it to be confirmed until Benedict
promised to keep Brian as foreman
cf printing. The recent onslaught by
the i ublic printer on Gorman's appoin aap.

The war between President Cleveland
and Senator GormaD, growing oat of the
tariff debate in the senate, is getting
more seiious every day. The action of
the Maryland federal GlUcials recently in
resigning from the campaign committee
at tee request of the president, although
advised by Senator Gorman not to do
so, shows that the Gorman-Cleveland
factional war in the Maryland Democracy
is getting serious for the senator.
The entire Maryland delegation in the
house stood out against Senator Gorman
in the last house caucus and voted
againt accepting the senate bill. Congressman
llayner, who recently announced
a3 a Democratic candidate for
governor, will stand as an administration
candidate against Gorman domination
in the slate ot Maryland.

Washington, Sept, 5.? Chief Hasen
of the Treasury secret service, received
a telegram today announcing the arrest
in St, Louis, Mo., this morning or Secretary
Smith, ol the St. Louis Bank
Note Company. This company, it will
oe recalled, pruned ana engraven mc
$5 and $2 warrants of the State of Miss
issippi, which bore a striking similitude
to United states money. The
president of the company will be arrested
when he reiurus to St. Louis and
Agent Holmes, of tire company, who i3
in charge of the Chicago branch, will
also ho looked after. In the meantime,
the United States district attorney at
Jackson, M:.3S., is preparing a case
against Lrie Slate oiuoiais o. Mississippi,
Governor Stone and others, in the fame
case. The Mississippi ollic'als refused
to call in the warrants, but the fact that
they have been declared illegal by the
general government has, it is said, had
the ellect of destroying public confidence
in them as money, and the banks relusc
longer to take them.

The Orangeburg correspondent of the 1
News and Courier recently had an interview
with Col. Gardner, the engineer
of the Atlantic Coast Line system, during
the course of which Col. Gardner
is reported as having said that he had ]
ju3t heard it rumored that the Louis- i
ville and Nashville had bought the i
South Carolina and Georgia Koad. |
Col. Gardner did not vouch for the |
statement, but merely gave it as a rumor
which had reached him. Discussing
the matter further Col. Gardner is '
reported as having said that the line
recently surveyed to Augusta would
probably be built if the Louisviile and
Nashville did not succeed in purchasing
the South Carolina and Georgia i
property. Iu commenting on the
above the News and Courier, of last I
Wednesday says: ''The fact that Col.
Gardner is ofliclally connected with ]
one of the lines which proposes to build |
the new road lends a weight to what- (
ever he may say on the subject which
it would not otherwise have. There is .
rift rnionn f/fti- nroon minrj f h at
W iCCWVU XVI yxvoumiu^ vuww .
Gardner was speaking excathedra, yet 1
in cases of this kind the public will lind
it hard to forget that he 13 an Atlantic '
Coast Line official, and that the name
of the Atlantic Coast Line has been ?
intimately assoc'ated with that 01 the i
Louisville and Nashville system both
in the project to build a new route to j
Augusta or to obtain control over the <
old route. la regard to the rumor that f
the Louisville and Nashville has act- j
ually arranged to purchase the South ,
Carolina and Georgia Road, railroad
men in this city place little faith in it. (
No one questions that such a transfer .
has been and still is one of the possibil- 1
ities, but that any of its details have 1
been arranged at the present time is
another question. The present owners 1
have taken possession of their property
and are operating it in a manner (
which suggests that they have come t
to stay, at least for a period somewhat (
longer than would be the case had they (
sold out to the Louisville and Nash- ^
ville system. Col. Gardner's belief that j
the new line to Augusta will be built
if the purchase of the South Carolina
and Georgia by the Louisville and
Nashville is not iinally effected is
shared by many people. On this point
Col. Gardner's opinion is entitled to '
some consideration. He was selected
by his read as the man to make the pre- I
liminary survey for the new line, and J
he did it. When the road was projected
it was stated that It would be built t
if it could be constructed within a giv- t
en ligure. That Col. Gardner believes
it will be done in case the competing ^
line cannot be bought would seem to
indicate that his survey had demon- ;
strated that the road could be built for
a sum falling withia the limit set. J Jut
everything pertaining to the subject
lias been discussed so often that there
is no reason for adding an additional
word now. Col. Gardner's statements
stand lor themselves."
Killed a Tramp.
Henderson, Kv., Sept. 4.?Two
tramps entered the farmhouse of John
Gillespie, near Rriks City, on Green
river, and, Hading his wife alone, they
demanded -food, which she refused,
when they helped themselves and plundered
the house. On her husband returningand
ascertaining of the robbery,
he armed himself with a shotgun and,
accompanied by a neighbor, went on
the trail. They came upon tae tramps
near Congleton, McLean county. Toe

BARN BURNERS KILLED.
\n Organ'zjd iiing; of Fiends ShotDown
by Iadiguant Clt'z^UB. tl
Memphis. Tenn, Sept. 1 .?Six negro ^
oarn burners were taken from the cus- ^
ody of ctlicers at Millington last night
ind shot to death by a 120b of unknown a]
men. Miliington is a village in the ^
northern part of Shelby County on the w
Chesapeake and Ohio and Southwest g,
Kailroad. Recently there have been a ^
Qumber of lires in the vicinity of Millington
under such circumstance as to
indicate that they were the work of an ^
organized gang of iucendiaries. Cotton *ins,
numerous b?,rns and other out- "
houses and one or two dwellings have been
burned and the diabolical work '
:ulminated in the destruction of the
buildings on the fair grounds at Mil
LlUglA/11.
Several negroes were charged with :
complicity in these deeds of arson and ::
yesterday evening Deputy Sheriff Richarasoa
arrested Dan Hawkins, Glenn
White, Warner Williams John Hughes
Ed IJall and Robert Ilatnes, all colored,
on warrants charging them with
the crime. The arrests were made at
Keevllle, which is a station on the
Chesapeake and Ohio and Southwestern
Railroad below Millington. The prisoners
were to have had a preliminary
hearing before a justice of the peace
at Millington today. The deputy and
one guard, a white man named Atkins
3tarted for that point, carrying the prisoners,
who were chained together in a
wagon. As the party neared the Rig
Creek bridge, a very lonely spot in a dense
forest and cane brake, almost a
jungle, a voice from out the thicket i
was heard to say: " Turn to the right,
the bridge is down." The deputy who
was on horseback ordered Atkins, who
drove the wagon containing the prisoners,
to tuin into a narrow road leading
to the ford. As he did so, a band of
about fifty armed men appeared and de-manded
the prisoners. The deputy re- <
monstrated with those who seemed to
be the leaders of the mob and protested
against any violence, but to no purpose.
While the ollicer was being held under *
cover of revolvers the rest of the mob ?
drew their weapons and opened a murderous
fusilade on the defenseless prls- r
oners. One of the prisoners, IIawkin3, ?
threw his arm3 about the white driver, ?
imploring protection, when one of the u
mob placing a revolver close to his '
bead, blew the top of his skull off. The #
men were not masked, but neither the
deputy or tbe driver, Atkins, recognized
any of them. None of them live
in that community and it was quite
dark where the murderous work was
done. Deputy Richardson immediately *
apprised the justice of the peace of
what had been done. The jury was
summoned consisting of four negroes d
and eight white men and an inquest {
held. The verdict was in accordance
with the facts as detailed by the only *
witnesses. \
Judge Cooper of the Criminal Court, ?
summoned Deputy Sheriff Richardson I
before him today, and questioned him
closely concerning the lynching. 4
The J udge is prepared to issue bench
warrants for the arrest of all parties
with reasonable suspicion of beiDg
connected in the crime. At half past
1 o'clock this afternoon, Deputy ~
Richardson was arres'.ed on a bench "
warrant issued by Judge Cooper,
charged with being an accessory.

Columbia, s. C\, Sept. * G.?Tne
Journal published an arlich a lew days
ago saying that it was likely that an extra
session of the Legisla'ure would be
called to amend the elechon lows otthe
Stale. Senator It by was seen at tbe
Lrran.1 Central Hotel and when asked for
an interview on the subject said: 'T
did not come here to be interviewed I C
came here to attend the meeting of the $
State executive committee, and when
that is over I shall go home." Then w
iookiDg in a rather insinuating way he p
said: "I do not shoot in the bushes. ^
r w-ftiL until the birds come out." c.
"Is that in reference to the proposed a
"independent movement?"
"Yes, tut I do not think there will tt
be cne. When those fellows got sober
Lhey wih think the matter over and ^
not put out a ticket. There is no cause
for it. The people have spoken and &
that settles it."
"Do you think there will be an extra ft
3essicn of the Legislature?"
"It depends upon circumsances,"
was the significant reply. XI
"What circumstance.4?"
"That is private," was the pertinent
reply. v
"What do you think of the reigistra
lion laws?"
"They are before tiie Supereme Court, [
am uo lawyer. I reformed and quit
-be law, and cannot new give a legal
opinion."
"Will the registration law3 have any*
-hing to do with the calling of the ex,ra
session?"
"I not know. Go ask Tillman,"
was the evasive answer.
"Do you not think that Governor Tiilraan
has been indiscreet in his attacks
lpon the Democratic part}?"
"As I understand it, he has not at- .
-acked the Democratic party. lie gave
Jleveland the devil, but Cleveland deserved
ten times as much a3 he gave
lim. Cleveland is not the Democratic
sarty, nor is it represenlsd by such
mmVkiim. hA iia Kim* r>f?n n'<? m Smith
Carolina seem to think that Cleveland
3 the embodiment of the Democratic
Darty. I don't."
"Don't you think that Tillman will
eave the Democratic party?"
"I believe Tillman is as good a Dem)crat
as wear3 hair. If anybody leaves
,he Democratic party Cleveland's sort u
night. I am convinced that Cleveland
,'ould not have gotten the nomination if
,he Southern States could have known
ns linancial policy in advance."
"What about the Reform convention
idopting the Ucala platform?"
"The convention only reiterated what
,he Democrats of this State adopted in ^
LS92 as their platform."
"Rut there are those who say thai
he platform adopted in 1*92 was not
Democratic?" Jy
"I thought it was. Democratic then,
ind I think so now, acd the people o{
be State ratified it."
With this the Senator and the rep.orer
parted company.
