CHAKI.KSTON, .August IS.-The
Kev. Arthur Crane, pastor of the
First Baptist church, who came here !
a few months ago ami jumped into
notoriety hy his sensational sermon's
about high life al night and general
immorality, has been pounding
Charleston ami telling things in the
pulpit that Others believed best un
said. Kev. Crane did tho Parkhurst
act, ami before he delivered his first j
sensational sermon he got two of his
deacons to show him the wild places
of the city. I lu visited the resorts!
and then dropped in at the gambling!
bouses and saw tho little ivory billi
Spinning while the men stood by anti j
played. Ile look in everything and!
then tobi it in bis church.
After bis li rsl attack on the city
Kev. Crane gol seam courtesy from
the press.
In bis Its' sermon Kev. Crane
made a violent attack tm President
McKinley because wines were stored
in the cellini- itt the White House.
Ile attacked governor .Mcsweeney,
ami he charged openly that three
members ot" the Charleston city
council were running blind tigers.
Ile gave thc Haine of tine council
man whom he claimed was the
keeper ttl' a blind tiger ami bas con
tinued to whack him on various
occasions.
A Call to Organize.

forth in Kansas City platform are |(
earnestly urged to join the Demo- ,
eratic clubs, ami when none exists to
assisi in organizing them. This work
in uniting the forces of law timi lib
erty into one great systematized
civic army should be carried on
simultaneously in every part ol' tho
country, ami without delay. The
friends of the government, accord
ing to the hitherto unchallenged
American theory td political equal

moved off on fast time. Oh, hut it
is hot, and the water a long ways

get there. Hut we had a splendid
meeting of the old Beaverdam. It
was full of life and spirit. Full
time was given to "State of Reli

.Many good talks were made by dele
gates. How the laymen can talk
when you get them started. They
beat the visiting brethren. This
first morning was a moBt delightful
m?oting, full of spirit and power.
In the afternoon report on educa
tion was the main thing of the day.
Bro. Shelor made a fine report and
Di*. .Montague made a captivating
mooch. If he comes your way, kind
render, lie sure to hear him.
The brethren caine to do the
work in two days. The political
mooting at Walhalla, seven miles
away, would have tho right of way
mi tlie third. So we agreed to come
back to-morrow and finish. It is
wonderful how fast brethren can de

lo do so.

are. They are not afraid to shake

We discussed the old preachers

lu the afternoon Bro. Mcclintock

Brethren Yass and C. Wardlaw
made talks. A good impression was
made. The Beaverdam will not for

The report and discussions on

MILL TROUBLE
In North Carolina Object to Textile Union
May SI.ut Down.
CllAKI.OTTK, N. C., August 18
The ICrwill Cotton Mills, ono of the
largest in the State, will likely bc
forced to shut down in a few ?lays
because of the organization ol" a
textile mill workers' union among
its employees. About a month ago
tho organization was started and be
fore lite mill owners were aware of
its existence there wen' a large num
ber of members and thc organization
had secured a linn footing. livery
effort w?m made lo stop the organiza
tion, but to no avail and Saturday it
was stated that there were 200 mem
bers in this mill alone, in addition to
another branch in the blast Durham
mill. A few days ago some If) of
the members of the union were noti
fied that they would not bo needed
in the milt longer than two weeks,
there being an agreement between
the employer and the employee that
a two weeks' notice must bc given
in before any discharges aro made or
any of the men quit work. Satur
day Mr. Krwin notified ?til who were
members of the union to quit at the
expiration of two weeks. A special
meeting of the union was held to
night, at which it is stated l'> new
members joined notwithstanding the
position taken by the mill people.
This makes in all over 800 members
of tho organization and .us till will
have to give up their positions il
means that the mill will have lo
close down for awhile at least. It is
saiil that one-half of the mill will
close down in a day or so and tho
other half will have to close unless
hands are scoured at a very rapid
rate.
lt is understood that there an'
two men on the road for the purpose
of getting labor and some of these
new men have .arrived. in nearly
every instance these men have joined
the union before going lo wort, and
the tnalter of pulling down the union
is not being strengthened very
much.
There is no trouble anticipated.
They operatives say that everything
will be done in an orderly manner
and that the men who are given
their walking papers will <piielly
seek other positions and the union
work will go on among those who
take their places.
The Krwin mill is one of thc larg
est in the Stale ami employs about i
OOO or 1,000 hands. There are a
large number of these who are rep
resented by tho 300 who are in the
union, there being several in many
of the families who work in the
mill. The general opinion is that the
whole employment will result in a
shut down of the mill. i
Ku turo developments will be
watched with no little interest by
the people in this section, Those ?
who are joining the union arc not
asking for more pay nor short Ol'
hours, bul simply claim the right to

Senator Tillman's Speech in Greenwood.
The writer bf these lines lias never
been in the opposition lo Senator
Tillman, nor docs he feel now ?my
bitterness towan! him. We were
out of the State when the issues
which landed him into office were
raised and did not return until three
years ago when we came back to
become managing editor of this
paper. So we could not be ?mt
down as cither for or against him,
but we are frei' to confess that out
sympathies were willi him in his pro
fessed interest in behalf of the clasn
of people in the State who deserved
consideration, ami we have alway?
given him credit for sincerity.
Hui the speech w hich he made in
this eily last Monday was an' out
rage and we are ashamed that South
Carolina has a mau lo represent bet
in the highest counsels ot the nation
who is so entirely destitute of re
verence, and who has such little re
spect for the great majority id" tlu
people he represents. His irrever

Missionaries Should not <]0 to China. j
Senator Tillman has given out his
views nu i he China question. Ile says
ho is unalterably opposed to missiona- 1
rios going to China lo teach religion,
favors convening Congress at Ibis crisis'
and will support an alliance with Cleat
Britain and Japan to pr?vint partition.
Ile says:
''.".ince tho downfall ol Napoleon Ku
i'ope has not faced snell a serious sil na
tion, ll is a great, pity Ibo United States
is compelled to mix np in it, but we aro
necessarily forced to protect our ambas- I
sudor, ami, as far as possible, to protect
the missionaries who have ventured into
the interior. Public Opinion is univer
sally in favor of going that far, but Pres- j
?dont McKinley has already transcended t
his constitutional authority and should j
have called Congress together as soon as i
Ibo situation became aculo. If he can'
invade China with one regiment without
authority ol Congress there is no limit
to his use of troops. A brigade, a divis- j
ion, au army corps can be sent there hy
executive order with just as lunch au
thority, and tho power vested in Con
gress to declare war will have been
usurped lo all practical purposes by tho!
President. No doubt the President
would have convened Congress hut for
tho fact that we have au election on
hand, bul that is no excuse for ignoring
his oath of office and overriding the Con
stitution.
" The policy to be pursued in thc event
of the capture of Pekin by thc allied
forces is the ono which should cause as
much concern as the usurpation of power
by Hie President. The partition of China
ought not 1.0 be thought of for a moment ;
certainly thc American people do not
want any share of the country. Our In
terest is to preserve trade relations and
an equality of duties with our competit
ors in mann fad mes.
"I would support a policy looking lo
the maintenance of the Integrity of the
Chinese empire, and to that cud would
he willing to sec Kngland, Japan and the
I'niled Slates form au offonsivo and de
fensive alliance lo guarantee tho integ
rity of tho Chinese empire willi equal
opportunities of trade with all Christen
dom.
"In regard lo tho missionaries and thc
future effort lo force tho Chinese to aid
thom and protect them, I am utterly op
posed. Wo do liol admit tho Chinese,
even lo work, ami the idea of their send
ing missiona. ies herc to preach is as pre
posterons to us as our sending missiona
ries to them. If tho Christian religion
cannot conquer an entrance to tho Chi
nese people on its merits through per
suasion, I seo no warrant in Christianity
forcing if Oil them at the point of tho
bayonet; that religion is tho religion of
love and not of force."

Will make both land und fanner

Stable manure is valuable, though
loor ill fertilizing qualities, because
,\ hat qualities it has are easily tivail
ible. It loosens soil and enables it I
o hold water.
Commercial fertilizers aro neoes
tary lo replace materials taken out
>f soils by crops. Nitrogen phos
ihorio acid and potash aro tho con
ditio nts. The leguminous plants
Lake up the nitrogen which attach
themselves to the roots of the plants,

Those coming from the lower part of

Phosphoric acid does not escape

as tho potato bug, may bo poisoned
by Paris green, but tho leuf-sucking
insects, like tho oabbago bug, must
be poisoned by spraying. Paris
green may be applied by mixing witli

There is no danger in using Paris
green on cabbage plants. It doos
not take up tho poison. It kills the
cabbage worm, but not tho bug. In
sects liavo their weaknesses like
everybody and everything else, and
we should take advantage of thom.
Tho cabbage bug likes mustard, and
if you plant a row of mustard along
side of oabbago tho bugs will collect
on tho mustard and may then bo
burnell by putting straw on tho mus
tard and sotting it on lire. Another
way is to scatter chips and leaves
along by the plants. At night the
bugs hide under those and may bo
gathered up with tho rubbish early
in tho morning.
Clean cultivation will help to got
rid of tho bud-worm in corn.
To got rid of scales kerosene
emulsion, made by taking half a
pound of sliced bar soap and boiling
in a gallon of water and, after boil

This is very good. Put one part of
the emulsion to five of water before
applying.

Kver since cotton became the money
crop in South Carolina, tho fanners
-white and black-have waged an
incessant and merciless warfare
against all manner of grasses. Of
late years a reaction, favorable to
tho healthy being of "General Green"
has set in, and the tip-to date agri
culturalists of the Palmetto State,
awakening to thc fact that we have
an ideal country for stock raising
have in a groat measure made friends
with their old enemy.
This fact was much in evidence
h?re Monday night, when tho first
day's visitors to tho Farmers' Insti
tute, liung interestedly on tho words
of Prof. J, S. Newman in his infor
mal and instructive lecture on the
subject of "(ir-isses," and illustrated
hy sheaves of cured grasses and
grains, prominently displayed upon
the rostrum. As he talked upon the
relative merits of Bormuda and
Texas blue grass, hairy vetch and
cow pens, ho was frequently inter
rupted by interested questioners
whose practical knowledge of the
subject gratified Clemson's agricul
tural chief and showed conclusively
that intelligent inquiry and carne:-!
experiment will in limo put our
State to thc fore as a stock-raising
section.
Yesterday this increase of inter
est in stock-raising was evidenced
by tho unanimity with which the
ilelegatos and visitors accepted tho
invitation extended to them by Prof.
0, M. Conner, in charge of the de
partment of animal husbandry, and
visited and inspected tho big barns
in tho college farm. They admired
tho mild-eyed Jerseys, tho sleek
Devons and the big black and white
Holsteins; they watched with elgor
interest tho milking nf the herd, by
the whito-apronod, spotlessly clean

which tho two big sil?s aro to be

answering tho questions, aud al
though other topics equally interest
ing were taken up by the speakers
who addressed tho institute during
the session, it may be safely said
that yesterday, because no doubt of
Dr. Newman's admirable talk on
grasses, the night previous, was OB
mntially "stock day."
Col. II. B. Watson spoke for a few
minutes on chicken raising. Col.
Watson, though a good orthodox
Baptist, took for his text John Wes
ley's famous saying : "Cleanliness is
next to godliness." A good sermon
it was he made too in behalf of our
feathered friends. Cleanliness, vari
ety of food, good fresh waterf and
plenty of room wore tho divisions of
his talk.

About thirty more farmers ca.no

M. Shaw, of Laurens, was with the
jrowd. Ho was tho questioner
ti last year's meeting, and last night
te began his same obi tricks, thereby
tdding much life to the mooting.
In fact we had some fun last night,
md now everybody fools freer and
?asier. Mr. W. E. Leslie, Mr. Mo
Jill and Mr. Wardlaw came from
\bheville.
Yesterday afternoon tho crowds
/?sited the barns to see the largo
lerd of cattle milked. There wero
IcfBcys, Devons, Holsteins, all of
.he ii nest breed, and tho managc
nont and milking processes wero in
teresting in deed. Many wore in
.ercstcd in watching tho big shred
ler cutting up tho green corn for

diards and vineyards and enjoyed
tam piing tho fruits.
It is encouraging to seo so many

Prof. Massey, who is always ready,
ook Prof. Wclborn's place. Ho spoke
ntcrcstingly on "plant growth."
His text was "Consider the lilies,
tow they grow ; they toil not,
teither do they spin, and yet I say
into you that Solomon in all his
jlory was not arrayed like one of
hese."
It was a channing talk through

polled by an attempted reproduction.
