Westminster, August 18.-Mr. John Cheek was hurt in tho wreck, near Atlanta, Monday. It is feared his wounds will prove fatal. His flither and mother have gone to him. Wo sympathize with them and hope ho will recover. Miss Rosa Matheson, after a visit of ten days to her sister, Mrs. W. J. Stribling, has returned to her homo in Atlanta. Tho Elberton (Ga.) Tribune says : "Mrs. Matheson, of Atlanta, and ac complished daughter, Miss Rosa Matheson, are spending a month at the hotol. A married daughter, Mrs. GaineB, of Ilartsvillo, S. C., is also a member of this bright and interest ing party. Mrs. Matheson has a strong claim upon the affections of Georgia Baptists because of the con tribution of lier celebrated son, Kev. S. Y. Jameson, to that grand old denomination." Miss Mary L. Coker, president of the central committee of tho Bap tist Missionary Union of South Carolina, spent last week with Mrs. T. N. Carter. Miss Coker is a very womanly woman, and a consecrated worker, giving her time and talents to the Lord's work, for which she receives no recompense. She gave a very instructivo talk to tho women at the New Baptist church Tuesday afternoon, and we hope much good seed was sown, which will bring forth many fold for our Master. The Boaverdara Baptist Associa tion was largely attended, and many visitors from a distance were present. Dr. Harvey Hatcher, of the Baptist Publication Society, preached at tho New Baptist church Wednesday evening to a largo audience who felt very much edified and strengthened for good works after such a plain, practical sermon. Kev. I. T. Jamison, superintend ent of the Connie Maxwell Orphan age, delivered a very fine sermon Thursday afternoon at the arbor, near the old church. The devotion of the orphans to him was very touching. Those who had been spending thc month of July among the good peoplo of this association welcomed him joyfully. Dr. Montague, president of Fur man University, is a noble looking man, and it is a very easy matter to think that he is an ordained minister when he is delivering ari address on Christian education. If all the boys and young men who ought to attend a Baptist school could have heard him (those who live in thc bounds of this association) Kurman's halls surely would be full next term. .i. & M.

To tho Farmers of Oconco County -Gcntlcmon : You have, no doubt, read in thc papers that the Fanners' Alliance has undertaken to revive all of the defunct Alliances in the State. Thc reorganization of thc dead Alli ances alone is not an object. We want every fanner in tho State to join us in our organization for self protection. Wc are making no light on anybody, but want to get in shape to protect ourselves. Isn't it strange that thc farmers, the mud-sills of all other callings, professions and indus tries, should be thc last and the only one that has not organized? I say tho mud-sills from tho fact that in the first place wc ara so near down in the mud, from a business stand point ; and second because we are thc foundation upon which all others build, live, thrive and accumulate J great fortunes. Now, gentlemen, isn't it timo we were doing something?

Wants Dispensary Law Repealed. Charleston, August 19.-Kditors Keowee Courier : Excuse me of tak ing up your valuable time in tho cause for liberty and for tho repeal of tho dispensary law. The writer is not a politician or a liquor dealer, but a lover of liberty and for tho protection of thc home, our women and children. Tho writer doos not like to seo private homes ruthlessly invaded by constables or any one else ; women and children scared and maltreated through the enforcement of a had law. Ho thinks a man's private home is his castle, and there ought to be no such law to take away thc people's rights and liberties. Their rights, because the State has no right to go into any business whatsoever, as that right properly belongs to the people, as the State has only the right io pro hibit or regulate the sale. Their liberties, because thc law allows pri vate homes to be invaded, on infor mation and belief, in the mad search for liquor. Innocent homes are mo lested, and thc law ought to bo re pealed. Therefore, Messrs. Kditors, WO appeal to you to help the cause through the columns of your valua ble paper by creating a sentiment ; by inducing good men, irrespective of faction, to stand for election to thc State Legislature, and havo tho pooplo to elect them, that aro willing to work and vote for the law's repeal Liberty.

London, August 16.-Tho IIouso of Lords took an unusual step this morning, suspending tho scsssional order with tho object of passing on its second reading- of tho hill granting special powers to build a pier and other works at Berehaven, in Santry Bay Ireland, in connection with tho proposed fast stoamship lino from Berehaven to tho United States, by which it is hoped the voyage will he \ccomplished in four and one-half :lays. Tho bill had already passed the IIouso of Commons. Lord James, of Hereford, remarked that suoh great public interests were 3oncorned that the government do ored to pass the bill at tho present session. Ile added that tho pro moters desired to construct harbor works, with object of inaugurating a line of steamers to the United States. The steamers will bo built in Wrcat Britain and will accomplish tho voy age in four and a half days. The jssent of tb'; admirably ollicials, who aro constructing naval works at Berehaven, had bool.

Tho farmers of tho State arc more interested in tho cotton seed question than they are in the Tillman and Mc laurin wrangle, as to thc purity of .heir Democracy and the degeneracy of their manhood. These two men, important as they may seem to bc, will soon pass and be forgotten, but ?otton seed is herc to stay and play m important part in tho business problems of tho farmers. The purchase of most of the large oil mills in this and adjoining States Dy tho Virginia-Carolina Chemical C?mpauy may not tend to a monop oly of the business, but it has a sort of leaning in that direction. Kvon before thc corporation carno tito existence there were certain coni oinations amongst mill men that en leavorcd to fix thc price of seed. It itands to reason that tho Virginia Jarolina Chemical Company will <eop up the same plan. That then oaves the farmer in the condition that ho haB to sell at tho fixed ju ice )r hold his seed. Seed is worth as much for manure when not crushed ns when crushed. Al the Mississippi experiment station \ctual experience and chemical anal ysis demonstrate that thc raw seed red properly is worth equally as much ts the meal and hulls. The farmers :>y keeping and properly using their ?oed get full value. Mills generally charge toll for grinding products ot thc farm. They sh argo one-tenth or one-twelfth for grinding wheat and corn. Even the roller flour mills, that exchange flour ind bran for wheat, place thc ex change on the basis of one-tenth for Loll. In grinding sorghum and mak ing syrup the toll is one-fourth or perhaps one-third in some cases. How is it with crushing cotton seed? Let us take recent quotations of tho product. A ton of sound cot ton seed will make about 750 pounds of meal, 1)50 pounds of hulls, '?5 pounds of dirt and linters, and '275 pounds of oil. At. present prices the product of one ton of seed will be as follows : 7f)0 pounds of meal - * 0 .'17 050 pounds of hulls - 2 08 25 pounds of linters - 25 275 pounds of oil - M HO Total.*20 50 Now, one-third of that amount, or ?8.9.'!, would be large; compensation for the oil mill, which would leave t? 17.87 for the farmer's ton of seed. That is equal to about 27 cents a hush ol. The mill men will say that is too much to pay for seed. But consider how it works. When the fanner buys in the shape of fertilizer ho will pay the manufacturer $8 for the ammonia in one ton of seed. He sides this ho will pay about ftl.80 for tho potash and phosphoric acid in a rRAP T TIGHTER. ? ring of sincerity Liing : 1 Drills.6c. .5c. ?oap for 25c.

When the farmer sells his seod to the mill at $10 to $12 a ton and buys from the fertilizer manufacturer tho plant food in a ton he will pay at least $12.60 for it. No farmer can afford to trade that way. What can he do about it ? In the first place he is not obliged to sell his seed. Tho oil in it does not in jure it as a fertilizer or feed. Prop erly and carefully applied nine bush els of seed is worth moro to tho farmer than 100 pounds of meal. It requires that amount to make 100 pounds of meal. Tho remedy is to demand a fair exchange in hulls and seed. Let mill men understand at once that farmers aro to re?oive full value for their seed or they will not sell. At| tho present, price for ammonia, potash and phosphoric acid quoted at Clem son College one ton of seed is worth all of $12.50 as a fertilizer. That is, tho farmer will have to pay that I much for the same plant food in any fertilizer he may purchase, no odds) what is the source of these elements. Let the farmers of thc Stato con sider this question from a rational standpoint. Let them demand full value for their seed or keep them at] home. The only loss will bo in the oil, but the farmer will not suffer in that respect, for ho gets no benefit | from the oil. The figures given above aro only approximately correct, but they aro near enough to exactness to form basis for figuring a little on the prob lem. Leaning farmers could even call a meeting and ask representa tive mill men to be present and in a business way talk the problem over. It would do no harm. The mill men have their meetings and never invite farmers to attend and discuss tho prices of seed.-Spartanburg Spar tan. CANDY CATHARTIC Genuine stamped C. C. C. Never sold In bulk.

Through the bursting of a boiler or tho ignition of natural gas in the new waterworks tunnel on the lake, nine workmen met death, and a number aro in tho hospital in a pre carious conditiou. Tho explosion occurrod before daylight. Three gangs of tunnel mon, who live at tho crib, were caught liko rats in a trap, and either had to jump into the lako and possi bly drown, or go back into tho tun nel to probably meet death by suffo cation. Crib No. 2 oaught fire. When tho tugs responded at 4 a. m. the burning crib prevented aotiou. Half an hour later tho flames wore under control. Tho tug brought twenty-two badly burned and half naked men to tho shore, whore seve ral of them wore taken in ambu lances to tho hospital. There were two shifts of thirty men eaoh work ing at tho cribs and in tho tunnel. Ono shift was asleep in tho crib when tho fire broke out. now IT occunnisD. About 2.30 this morning Capt. Thorne, of the tug Sprenkle, heard a detonation in the tunnel, and a mo ment later he saw burning timbers hurled into the air from whore crib No. 2 was located. Tho fi?mes im mediately died away, but he thought ho could see smoke through tho haze. Steam was up on thc Sprenkle, and after notifying the fireboat, he bogan to race. Though tho boat made splendid speed, the crib was burned to the water's edge when they arrived. In tho water woro shrieking, half drowned and scorched men, begging to bo saved. The rescuers quickly picked up twenty-ono men, and one woman, while tho fire boat began work on tho Hames. There was little to be done, for everything inflammable wes about destroyed. Two of the men picked up had been badly hurt. They were taken ' a hospital, where it is said they w: '"- ivor. No excavating has been done, in the tunnel for several weeks, but sub-contractors were preparing to resume tunneling. The men et the crib were there for the purpose of cleaning out tho tunnel in tho vicinity of the crib. When the explosion occurred, from somo unknown causo et 2.30 o'clock, the fifty or sixty mon and one woman cook, composing tho two resting shifts, were asleep in their bunks. Tho force of the blast throw many of these men from their bunks, and the next instant the crib was n roaring furnace. Those in tho crib, pressed by tho flames, jumped into tho lake. It was choice between drowning or being burned to death. Jicforo they could escapo to the water many in the party were badly scorched. Thoro was not a boat at the crib, nor anything to hold out a r^y of hope. Land was three milcB away and the morning was foggy. To make matters worse, many of tho unfortunates could not swim and thoy floundered in tho water, tiring themsolvcB in their struggles to koep their heads above water. KCltHAMINO FOK HJC?.P. All tho time thoy wero shouting nd struggling, reaching out madly for charred pieces of wrookngo upon which to cling. Tho shift that was at work down in thc tunnel below tho crib num bered twolvo men, thc survivors say. Tho superintendent in charge of tho work seemed paralyzed by tho horror of tho eccident. Your cor respondent found him walking up and down tho dock trembling and palo. "It is horrible," ho said, "but I can give no information. My God, I win?i I could. No, sir, wo du not know how many aro' down there. I could not tell you even how many were on tho crib last night. Tho books were burned up in thc crib.

Bila Klttredge, of Belfast, Maine, charapiou small writer of the world, haB retired from tho field, leaving his record of 46,000 words written with a common steel pen on an ordi nary postal card for ambitious micro scopic penmen to equal or beat. Up to two years ago ho wroto a great deal, but now, hoing within a few months of 90, he has given up the laborious practice of writing volumes upon small cards, his hand being less steady and his eye less bright than in hie best days. Mr. Kittredgc has long been fam ous for his penmanship. He is a Vermonter by birth. His practice of miniature chirography began early in life and many a time ho has gone without his dinner rather than leave unfinished a piece of work. His first serious competitive effort was made in 1887, when some one sent to the Belfast Journal a postal card upon which GOO words had been crowded, and defied any one to beat it. A few days afterward Kitt redgc handed in a postal card upon which he had written 1,000 words, and this being beaten he produced ono with 3,000 words. Thc 3,000-w ord postal card ended tho competition, but Mr. Kittredge kept on crowding bis letters and words into still smaller space, turn out in succession cards bearing 0,000, 10,000 and 20,000 words. His finest work was dono in 1889, when he wrote 40,000 words upon an ordinary postal card, and thc entire text of the Now Testament, about 181,000 words, upon four postal cards. Ile has written several Presiden tial inaugural addresses upon postal cards and has always considered it oasy to write tho Lord's prayer eight times within tho space covered by a five-cent nickol.
