Ciiic.k(o, Apfl 29.---Tlhe extremely low price of cotton and the reduced acreage agitation having attracted so much attention, an asiociation of Chi cajgo business itien authorized Mr. W. HIoffman the editor of the Chicago mar kets, to procure an accurate and relia ble report of the acreage planted for 1892. Mr. I oflfman mailed a circular letter of inquiry on April 9 to the lead ing nierchaL in every to wn containing fifty or more Population i the states of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Iinis. sippi, Alabama, Geortria, North Caro lina, South Carolina and ;ennessee, re liust ing that at least ten reliable plant ers be interviewed in each locality as to the planting for the year. A total of 1,017 replies received up to (late from every county and almost every township in the cotton belt (Flor ida and the Indian Territory alone ex cepted) report 23,936 planters inter viewed, and a s millnarizing of all re plies received gives an average reduc tion in aereag a over the entire cotton belt of 22l. per cent.; that 40 per cent. less fertinzers have been used; that planting is two to thrtee weeks late; that thIe season is cold, wet andl rainy, aLnd the ground in lunch wvorse condi tion thani at the correspondilng time last year. This result Is regarded as accurate and reliable, and indicates a largely decreased production of cotton f or this season. A Debate Oa'. C'OLuInIA, S. C., April 2t.-Governor 'Tiliman will leave Columbia for WVash ington on Saturday, and for this reason t he proposed debates at Spartan burg on the 30)th inst., and Laurens on May 2, have beeni indefinately postponed. Gjov trero Tillman goes to Washington for ihe purpose of securing $9,000 interest Onl the dire'ct tax fuind, this being the amount (laimned that the United States is withh ioldinIg fromt SouLth Carolina claimaints. 'The f act that Goveornor 'illman will, from lneceSsity, bet unlable t.o attendl either thle Spartanburg or Laurens mneetinugs, is being used by his opponents to have it alppeartl that, Till man is unIwillin]g to meet Sheppard at Spart anburg on account of the fierce 01) position to him at that place. 'fhis, however, is hardly p)robable, as Gover nor TIillmiuan had positive a ppointments with the government ollicials at Wash ingtooi be fore either of the above nam ed( dte ts were fixed.

HENDRIX MCLANE WORKING FOR HIS MONEY. A Mi4ioiary Vioit to Wagener's Ias tile lutdrcet, of tian "ieforaed Itepsbil eniha'P-Tryinag to Dupe the Democrats 1,y Abutialif 19 Old Friends. WAGENER'S, S. C., April 2.-J. lien drix LcLane arrived in town last Sat urday, and after remaining a short time left here. Ile returned this morn ing and hold conversations with several gentlemen. Knowing that McLane represents the Reform Republican party and that a meeting has been called for the 7th of May at this place by the Reformers, and assuming that his visit bore relationship to this meet ing and the propagation generally of this so-called Reform party, i made in quiries and received the following in. formation direct from the gentlemen whom McLane had approached. The econd gentleman who McLane spoke to describes the interview as fol lows: McLane said: "I want some one of intelligence who can fairly represent to the people of this country what we in tend by our meeting on the 7th. Our ultimate intentions will not be icade public just yet, though our speaking and our election of delegates to Min neapolis will be public. The true ob ject of this leauge now Is to rid the people of the dregs of this old line party of carpet baggers and to create a conli dence between the North and South by not maiing a question of race or color, but ty selecting the best men for the ollices. Where it would best influence that race we would use the negro for public oflice. We mean to rid the State of all such villanous men as Webster, Brayton and Tom Johnston, since they are a disgrace to the party, and none deplore it more than the knowing Re form Republicans do." ie also stated that these men, about seven in number, claimed to represent the entire white Republicans in South Carolina at the last National Conven tion. Harrison was in favor of the best men until he was misled by false rep. resentations and petitions. Ile would not have removed any Government of ficial or employee in South Corolina, but Brayton, Webster and Jot.ibtoni repre sented that the men the, recommended were honorable, high-toned men, and had done great and invaluable work for their party and suffered much for the cause. Ile stated that the most proininent citizens of Coluintia had given him great encouragement, and not only there, but everywhere he had been, and that a great many prominent men had intimated that, inl the event that Tillman got his foot on Sheppard's neck, a majority of the Sheppard party would join them in the event that they put a ticket in the field; that matter they would consider at the Minneapolis Convention. And if the Tillman party saw that. the Sheppard party would win they would do likewise. lie said their great aim was for national affairs though if they saw at any time it was probable to do effective work, they would turn their attention to State af fairs. To another gentleman McLane thus delivered himself: "You are aware that there will be a meeting here on the 7th, and I want to say that I or some one else will speak on that day. We want all the good people of the country to attend, and we want a good qiiet meeting. The object fur holding the meeting here was on account of its be ing a white section of the State. The Northern people want this State to send a delegation composed of Its best men to Minneapolis, to give the party a true statement of the affairs of this State. The State has been misrepre sented by such men as Jirayton and \Vebster, who are low dirty men. John ston,.of the Custom IIouse, is low and nothing more than a libertine, and not it to represent us as a people with for eign (naval) people. Our Reform Re. publican party wants to get rid of ne groes, carpet-baggers andl scalawags, and get the people of the North and South together. We need the,ir influ ence and their money. O'ur party wants to lill all oflices with good men irre spective of politics. At the meeting on the 7th we want a meeting of white people, not niggers." McLane said that the national comi mittee had made arrangements with the Louisville and Nashville Railway Company so far, and would complete tnem with other roadls, to transport the delegates for one-half fare, and that it would not cost the delegates anything and they would be paid handsomely, iIe saidi 'I'he News an d Courier had failed to fInd fault with them and left off the usual criticisms that had been put on the 01(1 line Re l)ublicanls. Continuing, lie said, a decent mnan would not go into Bray toin's oflice among his negroes unless compelled to (do so, that the North had nio conlidence in the Southern people, from the tact that they could get nio justice before the Courts; that the few goodl people of the South had to resort to lynchings, the bowio knife and the pistol to punish theIr ciminals, and the North regarde'd any investment in the South as unsafe on account of the rottenness of the old Bourbon D)eim ocraitic rule; that the Democrats of the North were, as a class, as inferior to the Rept-bhicans as the nigger is to the white man in the South. iIe stated in conclusion that their maission here wasL to create a confidence amnoly the people; that later on they wvoul consider what they would (10 as the prospect for elfective work brighten ed; that would be more fully develop ed by the time the Alinneapolis Conven tion convenedl. A few days previous to the Conven tIon held in ColumLin McLane wrote a letter to Mr. Larkini Garvin, of this plaice, a promiment citizen and a staunch Deimocrat, Inviting him to attend the Convention. Mr. Glarvin. afer reading the letter, tossed it into tMAeLane asked the town authorities to provide some extra polecemen on te day of the meeting and tried to engage board at one of the hotels for fromd $gefeld'"t--"ome of the boys McLane has some relatives here, who are and always have been simon pure Democrats, andi are among the most respected citizens of this section. 'The two gentlemen with whom Mr. McLanel conversed will if necessary, substant,iate under aignatuse, the enti re correctnm ofthes above It is a source of annoyance to the good people of this conimunity that McLane should come in their midst with his missionary work-under the guise of a Reformer-when it is too apparent thtt his honeyed words aiid apparent frank statements are, when divested of their deceptiv0 (1iilities, but pitfalls to ensnare us back into a ;degrading and hateful political bondage.-News and Courier. THE WAR IN VENEZUELA. Tite 11arbiran Tacticti Itemortod to by P'atuelo. Niw Yoinc, April 29.-A special to the Iferald froi Laguayra, Venezuela, says that on April 18 a quantity of arms from Trinidad, intended for (en. Crespo, was seized at Ciudad Bolivar. The Government also captured a son of the revolutionists, leader, and the young man, it declares, will be execute d on the day his father comes within a league of Caracas, President Palacio also announced that he will subject young Crespo to torture unless Mrs. Crespo divulges her husband's plans. The Government's losses at the battle of Tompit de Colon were 330 men killed and 500 wounded. Gen. Crespo is marching on Caracas with 18,000 in fantry and 2,000 cavalry. Tle revolu tionists are well armed. Of the iuifan try 8,000 are armed with small calibre repeaters and 3,000 with rillum of the lastast model. Most of t hese guns are of Austrian manufacture and have been sinuggled in from llamburg steamships. The cavalry is well I mounted, having had the pick of horses in the country through which Crespo marched. The army is said to be ac companied by thousands of camp fol lowers who have risen to join the revo lutionists and are ready to light as soon as arms can be found for them. Crespo is welcomed in all the villages along the line of march, and money and food I nre supplied to him from all sides. Many of the troops in Caracas are sus pected of disloyalty. lhe garrison is infested with informers, and upon t their accusations soldiers are being ar rested daily for conspiracy against the Government. l'he fall of Caracas is said to be eer tain unless Palacio's army can be ur ited and pushed in pursuit of the rovo lationists with unprecedented speed. The revolution has demioralized a large part of the population. Bands of pluni derers and highwaymen, calling them selves revolutionists, infest all districts. They make raids on the villages, bin-il the houses and rob the shops. iozens of wealthy men have been kidnapped I and held for ransom. There is ab;o lutely no trade in the region thus it llicted. Business men are fleeing wit i their moniey or btryimg it and hasten ing to the seaport towns. It was reported just befoi-e the sail ing of the Amerique that a recuiting company froal Palaclo's army wos sur rounded and massacred by the people of a countrytown in Tachira. Crespo has captured Casanas, Palacio's ninis ter of the I ntorior. Hie has warned Palacio that should further cases of cruelty toward suspected revolut lonists in Caracas occur, Casanas will lie taken out and shot. Panic prevails in the capital. Guv ernorneht troops are throwing up earthworks before the city and citizens have been compelled to work night and (lay with pick and shovel. Cattle are being driven into the city and the garri son has been provisioned for six weeks. Most of the shops are closed, and the price of food is so exorbitant t,hat tia poorer people are starving to death. The attack of the revolutionists, it is expected, will be madie withini two or I three days. It is believed that 1'alacio is p)rep)ar-I Ing to ilee, as the main body of his army is too far distant to succor him before the attack, and the garrison is too weak to offer prolonged resistance. The capi tal is full of rumors as to plots against, Pahaclo's life, and on last Sunday night four men were ar-restedl. charged withI aconspiracy to blow up the phiaco n ithll (lynamite0. As there has been no tril I or examination ouitside prison walls< nothing Is known as to the foundation: of the accusations. D)espite thei ac- 1 cumulating evidience of hits app)roach Ing fall, it is believed that Il'alacio will (lefer his ight to the last moment. .COLuolrA, S.

A 'Talk withx Dr. J. W. Jonep, the Fait]; Curer---%o&jo of tie Methods of the Trvatinoint Used by the Doctor. CIIARnL:ST ON, -, C., April 29-Dr. .J, W. .Jones, ol Lslic, Georgia. has been staying at, the St. Charles Hotel for souie days, and will remain in Char leston for an indefinite pe-iod practicing hi, prolession, that of healing by faith. A Reporter called upon Dr. Jones yes. terday morning, and spent a half hour in his room conversing with him con cerning the purposes of his visit here, an(d the work which helhas already done and expects to accoiplich In Charles ton. Dr. Jones said he was a native of Ohio and was 49 years o age, le has been a practicing physlcian for twelve yeAis, a gr,,CK.er portion of which time has be;n spent hi Georgia. 1)r. ,lones exhibited his diploma from 4e eincin nati Eclectic Medical College In 188%. Speaking about his past, Dr. Jones said that when he was a voung man he led it very wild and dissipated jife, but i earl.v manhood he had been converted. He joined the Methodist Church, but did not hold strictly to any particular denominational bias. Ever since his conversion lie had been prompted to abandon the practice of medicine accord. ing to the ac :epted theories and to be in to heal the sick and suffering by faith alone. For fiIteen years he had resisted God's will, but six months ago lie had determined to throw physic away and rely upon fith in God alonc. Since that time lie has been perfectly happy, and has accomplished wonderful results and made a number ol converts. Dr. ,oneiS said that some ionthis ago lie was instructed of God to write a book organizi a secret society to be kn)wn as Christ's Council, and it is With this object in view that lie has come to Char leston. The first Council will be organ ized In Charleston, which city will here atter contain the GirAnd Council When the Order shall have spread throughouL the world. Christ's Council is a sacret organization with by-laws and sacret signs and pass words, whiWh have been composed and collected into two books written by Dr. .Jones. The Doctor will remain -in Char"eston until the Order has been established here. Since his arrival iii this city he has had twenty patients who have conie to hlin to be cured by aithil. Onie of these is Mrs. It. Riicke's, of 59 Line szLeet. ,Nr8. Itickels, the DOtor said, had been in bad health for eight years and durin the past, tWelve mou1iths hadl been eutire. iy paral3zud, and was coniined to her bed, unabue to move hand or tbot, Vithi out assistaice. Tuesday she had seen his card i The News and Courier and sent for himl). He0 went to her house, where lie tonnd her lyinv in %0.l i., f'ectly helpless condidon. lie asked it she believed lie was able to cure her. She replied that she certainly did, and lie Said then that inl God's name sh1e ibould be cured. The .1)octor Said that, Mrs. Riickels could then and there have . isel and walked, but le had advised her not to do so for twenty-f'0Ur hours. She, however, moved her aris and linmibs freely, a thinlg which she had not donle for a year. Yesterday mloring, Dr)i. Jones(1 said, lie called upon Mrs. Itiekels, and that, she had arisen and accompaniied1 hiim dIown-stirs. where lie lelt her seated in a chair. T1hie reporter called upon Mrs. litekels yesterday and found her seat,ed on a sofar in tbe parlor behind the bakery at, the corner of Linie and Meeting streets. Mrs. Rickels is a large elderly lady and her face showved t,he ravages of' many months o1' suffering. When t,he object of the Rleporter's visit hiad been explaini edl, shte said that Dr. .Joncs had been at tenid mg her for the intst two days, and that, she had rcceived much benefit, fi-om his treatment. Yesterday mnornin.g she had walkedl alone frn the first time in two years. She had suffe,red much pain formerly, hbut this was greatly lessened under Dr. Jfones's tr'eatmnent. She was still very weak, but, beli'eed that D)r. .Jones would ultimately entirely dire hier. WVith the assistance of her son, Mrs. Rtickels ro.se to her leet and walked slowly across the room, and then hav ing rested .or a few moments returned to the sola. She said that Dr. Jonea had rub)bedl her head with sonic medlicine and that lie had left miedicine for her to take before and after her meals. She was satisfiedl that she was being greatly benefited. Among t,he other cases iiow under treat menit by Dr. .Jones are these: John N. M. Johnson, Mrs. E. O'Briien, Miss A . M. Chiisolm, Mrs N. M. B. Kennedy, Mr's. M. McCarthcy, Mrs. JIohnm holmes, 1. W. Bailey and Dri Carter, of Somerset, Kentucky. Dr. .Joner says that, lie claims !,hat God has distinctly called him for this work, and1( that lie works alone in God's name, Hie no longer believe that, dIrugs and1( medicmies are healing agencies; God's power is the only and all sufliclent agency. [aI his practice Dr. .Jones somet,imes gives medicine,, but, this is doiie merely to st,rengthen the faith of the patient,, tnuh not because his belief inl the eflicacy ol the drugs. Jones said that when hie visits a pit,icnt lie prays that, God il make thema whole, and then pirescribes hor, them whatever iremedy the H oly Spiit, suggests to his mmid. Hie hind mfadle men see aufter innointing their eyes withi clay, but whatever the Spirit instructs him tofprescribe lie p)rescr'ibes .vithiout, hesitation and mi perfect con)ifi deuce oft its efllcacy. CTe remedy is noting, anmd faith in God's power to cure is ever'yta.ig.-News and CourIer. Ount off Hier Hair. CH AnCLOTTE. N.
