1 9,000 new streets and 10,000 new henees are baili every year. What Ijll the city be fifty years hence ? Or August 8 we left London for tyratford-or Avon, 110 miles away,) the home of Shakespeare. On oar way we stop a couple of hours at Oxford, one of the great university towns of England. A carriage drive at this place gives us a bird's-eye view of the city and its many insti tutions of learning. There are, I believe, forty-four colleges in Oxford, and of course there are thousands of students there every year. Some of the college buildings are very vener able in their appearance-none of Jflflm especially imposing. Bat here W^F10 ?f the great fountain heads of England's power and prestige in the world. We were told that there were in Oxford the week before we were there 60,000 medical students standing their examinations prior to entering upon their life work. Special trains were required to oarry these students away. England is small only in geography. We drove by the martyrs' monument in Oxford which was ereoted to the memory of the following illustrious triumvirate: Latimcr, Ridley and Cranmer. We leave Oxford at 2.80 p. m. and in about a half hour pass through Banbury, a place inseparably con nected with child literature. We pass near Rugby and go through -^JWarwlok, but do not stop to see the castle at the latter place. 1 regretted this very much, but we oan't see it all. We reach Stratford-on-Avon at 5 p. m., and enter a coaoh whioh awaits us. We drove out two miles to Anne Hathaway's house. This is a very old and quaint-looking house with thatohed roof, simple and primi tive-looking furniture, etc Anne Hathaway was Shakespeare's wife and no doubt the great poet courted her in this house. We went from this house to the church at Stratford in whioh Shakespeare was buried. This is a very old church and over the place in the rook floor where the renowned bard was buried is an in scription whioh ends with a curso upon the man who removes his bones. I suspeot this inscription has kept the body of Shakespeare from West minster Abbey. We now go to tho house in which the poet was born and where he spent his boyhood days. The house is old and quaint like that of Anne Hathaway. The ground floor is made of rocks. The house is right on the street and there is a beautiful flower garden in the baok yard, containing all the flowers mentioned in the poet's works that will grow in that olimate. We also saw the grammar school building in whioh this man of all time went to school. It is indeed thrilling to walk over such historio ground. Stratford is not a large plaoe; it has, I sup noaa. aKniif If? OOO nsonie in it r-? --- *w,vv? ........... tu .v. J it is a very clean-looking little city. Of course, Shakespeare's connection with the plaoe makes -it what it is to . the world. The public has ereoted a beautiful memorial building in the town, in whioh the most celebrated actors of the world render from time to time Shakespeare's plays. I was impressed with the literary and benevolent evidences whioh I saw that reflected oredit on the peo( le. On the attraotive publio fountain in one of the main streets were many quotations from prominent literary sources, and on ono of the horno fafe troughs, cut out of solid rook, I saw TMT this inscription : "Be merciful to all of God's oreatares." I walked over the bridge that spans the river Avon, whioh gently flows through the town, and I thought of Wickliffe's ashes whioh were thrown into these waters and then carried to the Severn and thence to the sea, a striking em blem of his doctrines, whioh are now dispersed all the world over. On August 4 we went from Strat ford to Chester, reaohing the latter place at 5 p. m. I mentioned my visit to Chester while in Liverpool in a former letter, but I was glad to see the plaoe again. I walked all the way aronnd the old wall whioh enoiroles the old part of tho town and whioh was bnilt hundreds of years ago, and whioh is now in s good state of preservation. This wall is nearly two miles long. I passed right by the tower on this wall, on the top of whioh King Charles stood and witnessed tho defeat of his army, September 26, 1547. At one point on the wall we got a splendid view of the mountains in Wales. I passed by the long, single arob, made of stone, whioh m spans the river Dee. that flows through Chester. This olairns to be tbs longest rock arch ??? thc world, with one exception, whioh is over the Danube river. After spending a very pleasant night at the Queen Hotel in Chester, we leave August 5, 8.45 a. m., for Glasgow, a seven hours' ride on a fast train. We spend the night in Glasgow at St Enoch's Hotel, a well equipped house belonging to the railway company. Many of the largest and finest hotels in England and Scotland belong to railway com panies and are managed by them. On August 6 we take a .train which carries us to Greenock, twenty miles away, where we, take passage in the steamship Columbia, Anohor Line, for New York. The reason we had to go to Greenook to take the vessel was this : the tide was not right for the ship to come into Glasgow at the hour set for the departure. I had mingled feelings of sadness and gladness when I out loose from Europe, sorry to leave that interest-1 i og country, probably never to see it | again, bat rejoiced to know that I was hourn for Amerioa and espe cially South Carolina, my own be loved State. W. G. Neville. A Continual Strain. Many men and women are constantly subjeoted to what they commonly term "a eontir.ual strain" because of some financial or family trouble. It wears and distresses them both mentally and physi cally, affecting their nerves badly and bringing on liver and kidney ailments, with the attendant evils of constipation, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, low vital-1 ity and despondency. They cannot, as a ] rule, get rid of this "continual strain," but they oan remody its health-destroy ing effects by taking frequent doses of Green's August Flower. It tones up the liver, stimulates the kidneys, insures healthy bodily functions, givoB vim and ! spirit to ono's whole being, and eventu-1 ally dispels the physical or mental dis tress caused by that "continual strain.'

Carnesville, Ga., September 14.- | The Populist county offices in this county have been ohasing men to] fill them since nominations were made some four weeks ago. The offices are here seeking the men in reality. J. W. McFarland, of this] place, declined to accept the nomi nation for county treasurer. It was then offered to Mr. Jordan, of Canon, who declined, then to S. K. Cannon, of pear this place, who, it is deolared, has accepted. J. N. Goolsby was named for sheriff and doolined with thanks. The nomination was ten dered to and ?ccepted by J. G. F. Vandiver, who was chased for a week. Later he retired from the race. D. M. McConnell was named for Repre aentative, aooepted and at once opened his canvass. In a few days he dcoliued the honors. He was again induoed to enter the race, but | has come out to remain out. R. E. Mo VV borter has been named and it is said will be actively in the field. Changes in the Populist ticket take place so fast it is difficult to tell who j are running.

Gain for the Maine Democrats. Portland, Me., September 13.-The Republicans of Maine were success ful in the State eleotion, their candi date for Governor, William T. Cobb, j of Rookland, being elected by plurality whioh probably will be as j high as 30,000. This probable plu rality is 8,300 smaller than that by whioh the Republican ticket was successful in Maine four years ago. The Demooratio leaders are claim ing that the vote indicates an in oreas9 in party strength in the State. On the other hand the- Republioan leaders had declared that they! expeoted only from 16,000 to 18,000. The complete returns indioate that the Democrats will have several State Sonators, whereas they now have only one, and that they will make a slight gain over their present j membership in the State House of Representatives.

Two years ago a very rational and j well-considered project was launched at Easley, S. C., which contemplated the establishment, in a small way, of creameries for the manufacture of cheese. It was realized that, while that seotion of tho South is admir ably adapted to stock raising and dairy pursuits, the single crop prac tico had been persisted in so long that a restoration of the flocks and herds wbioh formerly abounded there must necessarily be a slow process. Accordingly it was decided to estab lish creameries on a scale which would not involve a large outlay of oapital and locate them at points which offered the greatest promise , of interesting the neighboring farmers. The creameries established ' through this arrangement included that of the Tabor Cheese Co., ca pacity 176 pounds of cheese per day; Walhalla Cheese Co., oapaoity 200 pounds per day; Tokeena Cheese Co., oapaoity 176 pounds per day ; and the Rush Creek Cheese Co., with a oapaoity of 200 pounds per day. These creameries were established with the idea that they were large enough for experimental purposes, and would not involve heavy finan cial loss in case the farming commu nities in which they were looated should fail to respond to their sup port. That the results aohieved I through these . experiments have been successful may be iuferred from the fact that the p ities instrumental in establishing them have embarked in a larger projeot of the same kind, at Union, employing more oapital in its operation than the several smaller establishments, as originally started. The establishment will be looated on a 500-aore farm, three miles east of Union, and will be equipped with all necessary apparatus for oheese makiog. The farm is splendidly watered and will be planted in grasses and forage crops. The oompany has already commenced to place its pro duct upon the market and will keep a large herd of cows of its own, be sides buyiug the milk offered by the surrounding country. It makes 12 pounds of cheese to every 100 pounds of milk. The whey is f?d to hogs, and the company exhibits some very fine specimens of Berkshire and Poland China hogs, fed on this waste product. The oheese is readily sold in the Union market at 17 cents per pound, wholesale. It is asserted that in Wisconsin and other parts of the West the aver age production of cheese runs about nine pounds to one hundred pounds of milk, or three pounds less than is shown by tho South Carolina estab lishment; and it is claimed, also, that the Carolina oheese will uni formly command a higher prioe, by cents, than the Western product. This oreamery company desires to encourage the settlement of German farmers in the neighborhood of Union.--The Southern Field. .- <t? - A Stitch in Tim?.

Earle, pastor of the Lyttleton Street Methodist ohurch, Camden, died in that oity last week. His health began failing some six months ago and despite his patient efforts for relief he had been gradu ally growing weaker. His father and several brothers died in their prime of the same malady and Mr. Earle looked upon his illness as fatal from ? the first attaok. He was born in Charleston on February 4, 1865, and spent his boyhood days in that oity. At 1887 he was graduated from Wofford oollege and shortly after wards entered the ministry. He has been a member of the South Caro lina Conference for 17 years. On Juno 16, 1887, he married Miss Car rie Kirby, of Spartanburg, who with eight children survive him. Mr. Earle was well-known in Ooonee county, having at one time been pastor of the Methodist ohurch at Seneca, where he and his family re sided for three years. He was a brother-in-law of Rev. E. S. Jones, of Walhalla, they having married sisters. The Presiding Elder, Rev. H. B. Browne, conduoted the funeral service at the Lyttleton Street ohuroh Wednesday afternoon and the re mains were interred in the Quaker cemetery. A ' ' -A 4 c?

Two or three years ago there was a man living on a farm in Anderson county. He did not own his farm, but was a renter. But he was a hard worker and a good manager and was in good oircnmstanoes, own ing his horses, cows, hogs, etc, and made some elear money nearly every year. But he became dissatisfied. He deoided to move to Texas, where, he was told, land waa eheaper than here and there were better opportu nities for a poor man to get a start in life. So he turned all his property into cash and left. He had some $600 or $800 when he moved after paying all his debta. This was two years ago. Last week a letter was received from him, and it was a pitiful letter. He writes that his cotton crop has been destroyed both years by the boll weevil, freshets have destroyed his corn orop, nearly all the members of his family have been sick ever since reaching Texas, and doctors' bills have piled up. And all his money is gone, he is in despair and he longs to come back to South Carolina. More than likely some of his friends will send him money to OOlne back and he will go to work and pay it back, and then have to Btart all over again to accumulate a little property. This is a pitiful sto ry, but it is the j samo one that has been told over and over again, with but slight variations. How often have we known men to leave their home in Anderson county, ! where they were getting along very | well indeed, and go west, only to ] lind the bitterest disappointment. In stead of money in abundance they have found obstados and drawbacks and discouragements of every kind. Some men better their conditions when they leave old Anderson, but euch oases are extremely rare. The opposite is the general rule. The truth is that there is no better sec tion ot the country anywhere in tho world than Anderson county. Peo ple who will work and manage well can get along here. Those who do not do those things cannot get along anywhere.-Anderson Mail, Septem ber 13. er's Bu 3* "I 3ar lol ? at on\ on a ^Eastern m >n, and. iij and Win1 ling mus. I see me. "hen they rgains.

Amerious, Qa., September 14.-A remarkable story is told in Amerious of a fake funeral ocourring in a little country town nearby quite recently. The corpse came by express and a swell negro funeral followed the same iay. The weight of the coffin sur prised many onlookers, requiring the strength of a dozen stalwart negroes to oarry it. Suspicion was aroused, and late that night an investigation was made by curious white oitizens. The coffin was fi)1* '! ?ith rifles. Smothered in Lint Cotton. Raleigh, N. C., September 18. Bryant Partin, the 6-yoar-old son of Frank Partin, was smothered to death to-day while playing in a pile of lint cotton in front of his father's home, uear Raleigh.
