The farmers are getting aloDg fine

chances.
The grain crops will be some better

be will pat on sis more coata if necessary.
and that with his slick buggy
he may be able to out shine the other
fellow. So look out one certain
individual. The buggy will be a
daisy and I tell you when he puts on
his Sunday suit be is as neat a9 a
new pin. I wish him success.

An International Question.
New York, April 28.?Special:
Apart from all questions of international
morals involved in the threat
ened permanent occupation of Manchuria
by Russians, the department
of etate has been presented with objections
on a purely business basis.
Manufacturers of cotton goods in
New England and in the South have
wiifcten to protest agsinst the course
of aggression which if not checked,
will cause great damage to their
i iterests. One of the letters is from
M. Weil, secretary of the Manufacturers
Association which has heavy
investments in the South, "If Rus
11 "i nx 1 :_ 5
81&1S allowed 10 reaiam iu JiBiiCLiurm,
he writes, "some of the largest mills
in the South will be compelled to
sustain their productions and may
e?en be compelled to suspend.
Southern mills depend largely on export
trade and their chief reliance
now is upon the Mancburian district.
Demand from ChiDa for goods made
in America is constantly growing,
aDd if fostered and protected by the
"open door" business, will be still
further increased in the future.
Eussia is now seeking to control
Manchura and to create mills in
Southern Eussia to supply the demands
of that section.
AmoDg other protests were several
from cotton growers in Mississippi,
Arkansas, and Texas. The writers
argue thst it is undoubtedly Eussia's
intention when once in control of
Manchuria to impose prohibitory
duties and trade evactions on products
of other countries that will
deprive American manufacturers of
the Btronghold they now have on the

Greatly Alarmed
\ i
By a Persistent Cough, but Permanently
Cured by Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.
.*Mr. H. P. Burbage. a student at
I*w, in Greenville, S. C, bad been
troubled for four or five years with a
continuous cough> which he says,
"greatly alarmed me, causing me to
fear that I was in the first stage of
consumption." Mr. Burbage, baviDg
seen Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
advertised, concluded ?o try it. Now
read what he says of it: "I soon
felt a remarkable change and after
using two bottles of the twenty-five
cent size, was permanently cured."

Homespun Waists.
Spartanburg Joarnal.
A number of well kno.wn young
ladies of this city are wearing waists
made from cloth manufactured at the
? #* Saxon
mills. This interesting fact
was called to attention by a mill man
of this city today who was sending
out some samples of the goods in
question. The cloth from which the
waists are made is a white good?,
which is tastefully designed and prettily
figured. The cloth is the product
of the Saxon mills, where it was
woven on the looms of the mill. The
i % ? - -
gooas were Dieaebed at tbe famous
Clearwater bleachery, a million dollar
plant located at Aiken.
Tbe finish product is as pretty as
anything in its line that is shipped >
here from the North for ladies' dress
goods and makes a very attractive
appearance.

Men Sold as Slaves.
Atlanta, Gf... May 5 ?Revelations
made to the Ware county grand jury
in regard to horrors of the Georgia
convict camps reached Gov. Terrell
today.
Hon. Edward McRae, odo of the
leading members of the Georgia
house of representatives, is involved
by the findings of the grand jury.
According to the report, McRae
and bis brother operate an extensive
camp in Lowndes County. Witnesses
before the grand jury testified
that in the McRae camp the brutalities
practiced are such that it is revolting
to practice them. For the
slightest offense, it is alleged, prisoners
are stripped and chained and unmercifully
lashed by the whipping
bosses. It is also alleged that the
McRae brothers go into the counties
' adjoining Lowndes, pay fines of misdemeanor
convicts, carry Buch convicts
to their Ware county camp, and
there keep them in servitude long
#, ill #
alter me terms ior wnicn trie criminals
were sentenced have expired.
The grand jury claims that at least
twenty citizens of Ware county are
held as slaves in KcRie's camp, although
their terms expired over a
year ago. The report goes on to
describe how these men are kept in
stockade, about which armed guards
march in order to prevent an escape,
and also mentions that meD, thus
illegally detained, who escaped from
the stockade, have been chased by
Ah
v/iuuuuwuiiuo ouu icuaptuicu.
The grand jury called on the state
authorities to investigate the camp,
release the men held as slaves, and
to prosecute the McRae brothers.
It is presumed that Governor Terrell
will immediately order an investigation.?Washington

The colored Baptist S'ate convention
was in session at Newberry last

than ever before in its history. Nothing
happened to interrupt the harmony
of the convention.

Times, says: "What has become of
the potato bug? I have neither seen
nor heard of one this season. I am
not complaining of their absence."

County Fair has been revised. The
premium on many articles in the different
departments has been increased
The outlook for a successful fair this
fall is bright. If the exhibits of
the different counties throughout the
State were shown at the State Fair
it would be a big advertisement of
the county sending its exhibit besides
greatly assisting the parent society.

St. Paul, Minn., May 7.?Reports
have been received of a serious accident
early today at Dexter, a small
station on the Canadian Pacific railroad,
five miles west of Port Arthur,
Ont., in which 12 lives weie lost. A
large number cf laborers were with
a work train at Dexter, where they
had been loading ties. Their train
was on a side track and the men were
at breakfast in the caboose or boarding
car at the end of the train. A
passenger train crashed into the caboose
where the men were eating,
overturning the car. The wreckage
caught fire almost immediately from
the engine. Of the men in the car
twelve were instantly killed or burned
to death in the wreckage where
they had been pinned by the overturning
car. Eight others were seriously
injured and still others lees
seriously hurt. The wreck is far
from means of communication and
details of the accident are incomplete
as the wires have been working badly
and no names or further information
about the accident has been received.
