A dispatch from Herkimer, N. V., uniler dato of September 7, says: Kx Sonator Hill's appearance here this ovening occasioned somethingof a sen sation iii political circles. Ile came os tensibly-to visit his old friend, Hx-Judge Karl, of this place. In the evening the Fort Dayton Hand serenaded Mr. Hill and a largo crowd of citizens assembled. Ho was introduced by Judge Karl and made a speech, the chief feat uro of which was his reiterated declarations in support of Bryan. There was some talk that Judge Karl was lu be advanced as a compromise candidate fur Governor, but Judge Karl emphatically said that his name was not to be considered. Senator Hill, among other things, said : "lt is needless to say that 1 am hear tily in favor of the election ol' Brynn and Stevenson. They are the candi dates of the Democratic party, duly and regularly nominated at a National Com volition, of which I was a member, and which treated me from beginning to end with marked and unusual courtesy, and I am honorably bound to actively sup port a ticket of my party under such circumstances. "Our candidates represent the inter ests of the average man-the plain peo ple of the country--the farmer, (be me chanic, tho laborer. The issues this year are very plain ami cannot be mis understood. "One party favors large standing armies, immense public expenditures, a government of grandeur and magnifi cence, high protective ta ri IVs, a British colonial policy, great combinations id' Corporate wcaltll and a centralized gov ernment. "Tho other party favors a continuance of the plain and simple government of our fathers, public expenditures limited to the actual necessities of the govern ment, tarilf taxation for public purposes only, au army for (lofonco and not for conquest, competition in business free from monopolistic combinations. "An appeal is made by our opponents to our love of country. Country! Wc hoard tho samo specious appeal in ISOd, and we always bear it when our oppo nents seek Democratic votes to aid their causo. It is a partisan and not a sincere or patriotic appeal, ll is based upon false pretences. The country is not in danger except from those who arc now administering its government We will protect the llag wherever it goos, but we will see that the ling gO08 only where il belongs, lt shall not be hauled down in disgrace, neither shall it be raised any where in dishonor. "The people are opposed to ibis gov ernment acquiring territory which is not to be governed by our constitution, lt has no more constitutional right lo set up a colonial syst om than it has to create a king. The loreign policy ol' the pres ent national administration has hoon weak, shifty, inconsistent and unpatri otic, and the best thought ol' the coun try-the best students ol biston the most intelligent ot Americans are against it. No right-minded mau can defend a ! President who said in bis annual mes sage that it was our 'plain duty' to give free trade to Porto Kico with tho United States, and wit bin a lew months there after signed a measure which imposed a lat ill duty ol' Iii per cent. "If wiso counsels shall prevail at tho Saratoga Convention next week am! we proceed on righi lines to plan for victory instead of inviting deteat. and shall so shape our course and policies as to de serve the support <>f the great independ ent and conservative forces of this state we cannot only rescue the lan pit o SI lit 0 from further Itepublicaii control, but can give your electoral voie for vom- gal lant national standard-bearer, William J. Bryan. ?'While disagreeing with Mr, lilyan in some malters, I need not reiterate that I earnestly desire his election.

Om of tho most thoughtful and ob servant correspondents at Hie national capital is Jos. t?hl,\ot the Atlanta Con stitution. His analyses ot the political situation arc always keen and apparantly impartial, weighing and balancing the chances of each side fairly. In last Sun day's Constitution he has a letter on "Democratic Chances," thal lo say tho I on st is mighty good interesting reading foi ?i good Democrat. A- lo the Demo eratic, outlook he says ii is highly favorn Ide and that lilyan has a good lighting chance to win because there is a perfect harmony and enthusiasm in the party and tho trend of things is tow aid Bryan, All the elements in the party that np posed lilyan lour years ago are now sup porting bim loyally, ami the Itepiihlicnn leaders themselves admit thal the Demo cratic outlook is more favorable than four years ago.

Tho report of Secretary Hoary G. Hester, of tho New Orleans Cotton ICxchango, reviewing ootton condi tions for the last year ending August .'il last, presents a large mass of im portant facts and statistics. Wo note only a few of^ them which are of general interest : Tho cotton crop of tho United States for tho yoar was 9,486,410 hales, a decrease of 1,888,421 hides tis compared with tho year 1898-99, and of 1,703,578, as compared with ISD7-?)8, and an increase of 078,452 hides over L800-07? Tho authorita tive estimates of tho orop had ranged from 8,500,000 halos to Mr. H. M. Neill's estimate, in October, of 11, 000,000 bales. More than 50 per cent of tho decrease as compared with last year was from Texas and Indian Territory, the production of which was 27 per cent lees, wdiile that of the Atlantic and Gulf States dropped 11 per cent. The. average commercial value of the crop is $38.55 per bale, against $25.08 last year, ?{.28.02 tho year before and *'!G.70 in 1890-07. The comparison of the size and values of the ?ovoral crops for seven years is highly instructive, lt is as follows: Hales. Value.

This fact, of course, accounts for ti large measure of the "prosporty" of this section and that of other parts of the country.

COLUMBIA? ?September 7.-In tho presence ol' many slaveholders, the children of sla\o hold ors and hun dreds of negroes, "Mauni?" Char lotte Stewart was buried at Kort Mill, York county, yesterday. The lifo of this old colored woman had a very patliotio side to it. Captain 1). ll. Massey, 0?iC of tho largest planters in tho county, pur chased Charlotte Stewart when she was iivo years old and gave her to his oldest daughter for a handmaiden, For half a century Charlotte lived in this- household. From lady's maid she became nurse, earing for children and the children's children until she was recognized as almost one of the family circle. To tho call of freedom and her own children, "Maumu" Charlotte turned a deaf ear. She refused to be free or to leave tho house of her former owners. Fourteen years af ter the close of the war, in 187i>, under positive orders of her husband, and the entreaties of her children, she tearfully ceased her labors of love for the Masseys and went with her family to A rkansas. A few weeks ago the old woman said she was overcome by an intense longing for "the old planta tion"-ri longing that could not bc controlled. Not having the nu hoy to travel she wrote to the Masseys, and it was promptly forwarded to her. She heard the "distant voices calling," and as in ?Old Black Joe," turned her face toward tho old home. The reception given the wrinkled old black woman would, if described, be received with incredulity by those not familiar with the senti ments entertained for these maiimas. Charlotte was given her old home in the yard of the .Masseys; but she hail few days in which to enjoy her re turn. She became ill with typhoid feveiyind was removed into a comfort able room in the "big house," nursed, doctored ami given every attention. Ile eyes were (dosed by her former mistress ami wdiite playmates. The pall bearers were J. W. Ar drew, J. M. Splatt, and six grand sons of the late 1). ll. .Massey. .Mis. Massey, who has passed the three seorc-nnd-tonth year ol' her life, arose from a sick bed and drove three miles to attend the funeral on a scorching hot day. And little children of the family carried Howers for the collin and thc grave. The services were conducted nt thc family residence by Kev..!. II. Thorn well, I). I)., of the Presbyterian church, and the interment was in the family burying ground. Just across the way a monument is erected "to the faithful slaves," and the testimony to this one shows that it is sincere. A Strong; Fortification.

S. II. llAufiW n i,, A. G. P, A. Atlanta, Ga. M'KINLEY'S LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE. Wherein tho Republican Principios are Claimed to bo Correct. William McKinley's lottor acoept ing tho nomination of tho Kopubli can National Convention for Presi dent, was made public on Monday. Tho lottor contains 13,000 words, and outside of its preliminary chapter on tho money question, is mainly a re view of tho war history of tho pres ent administration and a defenco of tho policy that has boon pursued in Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines and China. Mr. MoKinley reviews tho plat form of tho Democratic, Populist and Silver Republican parties on the money question, and says that "in all three platforms theso parties an nounco that their efforts shall bo un ceasing until the gold act shall bo blotted from thc statute books and freo and unlimited coin ige of silver at 10 to 1 shall take its placo." "The Chicago platform of 1890," ho Bays, "is roafllrmod in its entirety by tho Kansas City convention. Nothing has been omitted or re called ; HO that all the perils then threatened ure presented anew with tho added forco of a reaffirmation. Four years ago tho people refused to place the seal of their approval upon theso dangerous and revolutionary policies, and this year they will not fail to record again their earnest dis sent." Tho financial administration of the government is reviewed at some length, and he takes occasion to say : "Our industrial and agricultural conditions are more promising than they have been for many years ; probably more so than they have ever been. Prosperity now abounds everywhere throughout the Republic. I rejoice thal the Southern as well as Hie Northern States are enjoying a full share of these improved na tional conditions and that all are contributing so largely to our re markable industrial development. The money lender receives slower rewards for his capital than if it wore invested in business. Tho rates of interest are lower than they havo ever been in this country, whito these things which arc produced on the farm and in the workshop, and tho labor producing them, have ad vanced in value." The construction of a canal be tween tim Atlantic and Pacific is strongly advocated, and ho says that "our national policy moro imperatively than ever calls for its completion and control by this government; and it is believed that tho next session of Congress, after receiving tho full report of the commission appointed under thc act. approved March :i, lH'.H), will make provisions for the sure accomplish ment of this great work." On the subject of trusts, he says : "Combinations of capital which control commodities necessary to thu general usu of the people, by suppressing natural and ordinary competition, thus enhancing prices, lo the general consumer, arc obnox ious to thc common law and tho public welfare. They arc danger ous conspiracies against thc public good and should be made thc sub jeet of prohibitory or ponai legisla tion. Publicity will be a helpful ? hil!uenoo to check tho evil. Uni- ? fortuity of legislation should be se cured. Discrimination between ! what is useful and necessary in bust- , ness operations is essential to tho wise and effective treat- ] mont of this subject. Honest co-operation of capital is necessary to meet new business conditions and extend our rapidly increasing foreign , trade; but conspiracies anil combi nations intended to restrict business, '( cr?ale monopolies and cont roi prices, should be effectively restrained. ? "Tho best service which can be rendered to labor is lo afford it an . opportunity for steady and rummier- | alive employment, and give it every , encouragement for advancement. ( The polioy that subserves this end is the true American policy. Tho | jiasl. ihl'OO yoai'fl bave bcoil ?nore sat- i isl'actory to American workmen than many preceding years. Any change of tho government would be disas- | lions to the highest interests. With ( prosperity at home and an increas ing foreign market for American produc?s, employment should con- J linne to wait upon labor, and with , llie present gold standard tho work ingman is secured against payments , for bis labor in a depreciated currency. Kor labor a short day is better than n short dollar ; ono will lighten tho burdons J tho other lessons thc re wards ol" toll. The one will promote , contentment and independence; the ' ?thor penury and want. The wages ! of labor should be adequate to keep llie lu une in Comfort, educate the ullildrcn and, with thrift and econo my, lay something by for the days if infirmity and old age." Thc remainder of the letter is de voted to a discussion of the "SO [Milled issue of imperialism," and dong I his lino ho says : "There were those wdio, two years i ig<>, were rushing us oil to a war nilli Spain who are unwilling now i Lo accept its clear consequence, as i here are those among us wdio advo- i .aird thc ratification of the treaty ?f pence, but HOW protest against ls obligations.

It is a singular fact that an audience will be in a laughing mood when they first enter the lecture room ; they are ready to burst out at anything and everything.

No one in town knew Mr. Clem mons or had ever heard him lecture, and they .'iitertained the idea that he was funny and went to the lecture pre pared to laugh. IC von those seated upon the lecture platform, excepting the chairman, did not know Mr. Hornet from Mark Twain, and so when he was introduced, thought nothing of the name, as they knew Mark Twain was a pon name and supposed his real name was Hornet.
