8tautlino Stobibs about Dm. MoDow.? Charleston, July 10.?Ths street is full of rumors about the MoDow ease to-day. It is understood that most of the pastors of the leading churches will on Sunday next preach on thesubjeet efths McDow verdict, adultery and murder. At the meeting whioh adopted the resolutions denounoing I the eriae on Monday were pasters of the Methodist, Baptist,Presbyterian, Huguenot, Congregational, Lutheran and Episcopal Churches. The Iter. B. T. Horns, ef 8l. Johns, the ehuroh at whioh MoDew worships and at whioh ho received an oration on 8nnday after his acquittal, was absent. MBS. DAWSOH AlTltaLS FOB PROTECTION. It is known that Mrs. Dawson, the widow ef Editor Dawson, had to appeal to the police last night for protection, and a oolioeman was stationed on ber premises. The Mo. ' Dow and Dawson lots adjoin eaoh other in the rear, one being on Rutledgo and one being on Bull street. Persons in the rear piazzas of both houses can converse, and MoDow can easily get over his back fenoe into the Dawson premises. It is said that yesterday afternoon MoDow endeavored to communicate with the Swiss maid, who was < in the piazzas with Capt. Dawson's daughter, , and that the maid reported the fact to Mrs. Dawson. It is also said that he repeated the attempt later in the evening, when Mrs. Dawson appealed to the polios authorities for protection. TIIK J CRT II AD ITS VF.BDICT HSAKT.

Another Northern Cotton Mill IUmoveu , To Boitii Carolina.?The Xiirnnml Cmirirr heartily congratulates the people of Hock ' Hill, B. C., and the Patterson Mills Cora pa- ' uy, of Chester, l*a., upon the arrangement which line just hern effected for their mutual benefit. The Penn \r? van in Company I ; have certainly acted wisely in choosing so desirable a location to which to transfer their plant, and Hock Hill will secure a valuable*" ' mill, running ten thousand spindles, on v very favorable terms, liotli parties to the , arrangement are. therefore, proper snhjocts for congratulations, and the Xnrs unit t'-ni- 11 rirr takes especial pleasure in having been " the medium of bringing about so promis- f< "u n As was shuwa yesterday, there nro ten ^ times more cotton spindles in the North than there are in the South. All of these ' Northern spindles ught to be removed to <1 the Southern States, where they can he operated most advantageously to their owners, to the cotton j loducing States, and con- ^ requently to the whole country. And tlie v' best plan for their removal, it would nppenr, is that which has beon adopted for the trnnsfer of the l'ennsy Ivan in mill to South s: Carolina. Il{ The owners of the mill retain their in- . teresl in i*. but place it on ground that it can hold against the competition of the " world, as long as cotton grows and cotton p goods are in demand. The people of the (] district to which the mill is removed secure nt once an important addition to their indnstrics, nnd secure, besides, the great nd- c" vnntago of the long experience of tho new- en comers in the manufacture in which they y engage together. This experience would bo ' a must valuable consideration wheio tho transfer mill was devoted to the manufacture of high grade goods, and wo hope to hear of the removal of such a mill to South Carolinn at a very early day. The people of the South would much pt?- *' fer to work with Northern cetton innnuf.se- s turers, rather than against thew. to bring f, the mills to tho cotton; and we a??-vcrj ^ ruiv huh nuj roi!ip:iny in any cornier i Slnte which desires to tnovo jtn plant to ^ South Carolina will receive as eor?linl wrel- v come And substantial aid from the peoj-le \. of nny coniniuni'y in 'die Slitir aj has In? en fi>eu vy Hoc "t rjill to the I'aitu'aon 0< at. paiiy.?

Tb? following despatch tolls tbs story of tho final location of tha machinery for a cotton opinniog mill of ton thousand spindleo, from Pennsylvania: Rock Hill, Julr II.?Our town is to hare another cotton mill, the persons interested baring eocured the machinery advertised a few weeks ago. The necessary money has been raised wit h wbioh to put up the buildings and purchase engine and boilers and equip the mill. Mr. John B. London, president of the Rock Hill Standard Mill, oisited Mr. Trainer at his home in Chester, Pa., and secured the refusal of the machinery for Rook Hill. On Mr. London's return Mr. J. R. Noisier, superintendent of the Rook Hill Cotton Factory Company, was sent to Chester to examine the machinery and report. He returned on Saturday and reported tho i machinery as entirely s itisfrctory. It will be seen tbnt the praotical, wideawake business people of Rock hill, not only promptly put up the money necessary, but sent a responsible gentleman of the community to Mr. Trainer and otfered it tihim. This was prompt strictly business, and Mr. Trainer being a business man, recognized at ouce the enterprising spirit of the people of Rocfr Hill and did not hesitate to accept their proposition, proseoted as it was in such a business like and practical manner. ii? <10 not ttoow what amount has really been subscribkil for a Factory hora, but wt hope the Hoard of Trade will keep the ball moving and continue its efforts in that direction MffihitiixSxii. 'Jaciis we may confidently look for similar, if not better, propositions from many Northern Mill owners (o remove their plants to the South, anil when such cases offer we Bliould be ready to aot promptly and with somefiling tangible in our hands to offer. We. however, would like to see an effort raado to establish Factories for the finer grades of Cotton Mill produots. With the finer grades will come the "Calico Engraving ami Print works," which are equally as important to a community as the Cotton Factories, and are, in a great measure, necesetry for the success of every branch of the Cotton and Woolen Factory industries. Value of Cotton Seed Halle In a few years we expect to find every particle of the cotton plant, from the leaf to the lint, put to valuable uses. Already the fibrous stalk is being utilized for making paper, its seed manufactured into oil, food for stock ami a valuable fertilizer and it is now discovered tlmt even the bulls of the seed noHst'ss irreat fattcninir nroiu-rt ies for cnttlo. hog* nii'l sheep. We doubt if tliorc is any plant grown in nny part of the world thnt contribute* hi ninny comforts, luxuries and necessaries, for limn and beast, as the cotton plant, and it does seem to us that if auy man should grow rich and be independent, it is the cotton planter: with such a plant nt his control to provide food and raiment for himself and family. Hut not until the last few years have they begun to fully know and appreciate the true worth of the plant to thetn, and make all its important commercial and fertilizing values contribute to their financial prosperity. ruder the Alliance organization, all the money value of the cotton plant may be made to contribute to the Southern Farmers' j comfort, prosperity and independence; and we are pleased to hear that tlint organization is now contemplating the adoption of some plan by which the land owners will be able to control the sale of all the cotton seed belonging to their tenants, insuring to the latter fair prices for the seed, restoriug all its -fcrtdmdiig propetTic* toThc land where it was grown, and at the same time sustaining our home enterprises by patronizing the Oil Mills conveniently established at their doors.

In consequence of unavoidable delays, tlie addition made last year c<?uM not he com1'letcil before tin; opening; of the Fall session, hut they are now in course of completion, ami will he reaily for occupation hy the opening of the next session. These improvements will a<M greatly to the comfort ami convenience of the pupils, giving more rooms, all well vcntilatc<l ami hamlsomely finished. Already Mr. Clifford has received applications from a large numher of persons outside of this county, for catalogues, terms, etc.. with a view to patronizing the seminary next year; and the prospects for a much larger attendance are very flattering. F.very year the popularity of this adinira hie institution becomes more widespread, its efficiency and worth more pronounced and appreciated. This is apparent from the fact that almost every year, the Proprietor has been compelled to make additions to the building, to meet the wants of increased numbers of pupils. It is fast winning a place for itself among the foremost institutions of learning in the country. '?v it* own work ami merits. Personals. Mrs. J. 11.

During the early morning the clouds began to break away and the gentie??ys of the sun fell upon the landscape like moonbeams upon the boundless ocean. The long looked for "Children's day" I*? . irrived. The whacking scissors, the whUmg machine and the smoking stove had their work in readiness. Mothers, whoserfjkartj! never faint'and fingers never tift, hi# ahrahged the modest apparel of their chihlreu and had them in readiness when the hour for the service had arrived. Upon the chureh grounds was a sea of humanity. The octogenarian and the infant were present. Youth, manhood, womanhood and old age had come to witness and take part in the sceues now to be enacted. The HuperinUq^lent, J. L. Strain, called the house to order and asked all the children to come forward to front seats. The bright eyed little boys aud girlb, singly or in groups, marched up the risles and took their places in the freut rank, while the choir, led by Prof. Vaughn, sang "Ring the bells of Heaven." In less time than it takes us to tell it the large church building was crowded almost to suffocation. The Superintendent requested the children to rise to their feet ami repeat the "Apostle's erred" and "The Lord's Prayer," at the conclusion of which the choir sang, IIow sweet the name of Jesus sounds, In a believer's Mir, Ac. llev. S. 1). F. G lult in n fervent prayer invoked God's hies dug upon the 'occasion. The exercises were announced by the Superintendent as fommlly opened, and the chil<t>-?'.u gio the speakers, as well as tu? whole pw, .tllucii .?AJu>ir kind, attention. l'rof. W. F. McArthur, of (Jaffney City Male and Female Seminary, was introduced as the first speaker. We regret our inability to properly describe hie, as well as the other speeches. Suffice it to sny that he triumphantly redeemed our promise that his hearers would hear something brilliant from him. Parental responsibility and filial duty was his theme. He divided society into two classes?the governing and the governed, and dealt with each in its proper sphere. Although his name is n synonym of learning, purity and christian fidelity, yet his commanding appearance, his manly form and liis brainy speech won for hini new and warm friends in our community. His remarks were pointed, plain and practical. As au educator, he is second to none. After music by the choir, llev. A. A. Gilbert of the M. E. Church was introduced. As a pulpit orator, profound reasoner, and zealous christian he has no superior. Combining all these agencies the reader can imagine what we heard front him. His idea that Sammic Strain was only the clay tenement of nn immortal soul that was the ideal Sauimie Strain who is to live beyond the endless ages of eternity, was a sublime thought. t,api. ?. rv. oeneries wns nexi cuueu. .vi the outlet of his remarks he throttled the old fogy idea that the Sabbath School is not an institution based upon scriptural authority, and cited his henrers to Deuteronomy, tlth chap. : 0 and 7; -'list chap.: 12 and Id, 1'rov. 22nd chap. : C; Eph. tith chap : 1; John 21st chap: 15, Hi, and 17 : Matt. 2Sth chap : I'd, Mark llith chap : 15. His statistical quotations from the church and Sabbath School reports were interesting nnd showed an alarming indifference even on the part of our American people, to the cause of Christ, to say nothiug of the heathen. ()ut of a population of over sixty million American people there are only twelve million Evangelical christians, nnd that five-sevenths of the entire population of the globe arc yet in outer darkness. His was a scathing review of our neglect of tlie one thing needful. llro. Jotferjes. as our reader? arc well aware, has ait his'life been a hard bible student, and well did he maintain that reputation in the masterly style in which he dealt with his subject on "Children's day." llcv. J. W. Sell ell was next called. He spoke only a few minutes. The spenkers who proceeded him had gone over the ground nnd given it a thorough working up and lie would not trespass upon his hearers^ patience? by a long r-'pfTT-hr He wanted the children to know that it was their day and not the speaker's nor old folks' day. brother Sehell s whole time is given to the Sabbath School work.

This wns his first visit to Salcin, ami he made a fine impression upon our people? especially the ladies. Thc hour for adjournment having arrived the elmir and congregation sung. Sweet byeand-hye. The music was superb as the thoughts were sublime. Rev. Mr. Query pronounced the benediction, and tints a Sabbath day well spent was consigned to an Eternity of the past. The ladies, who are the motive power in every good work, were determined that the occasion should be a success, now took the congregation in hand and from the incx liaustihlc fountain of their hospitality spread before them such a feast of edibles as one seldom sees in a lifetime. At this point we were more than ever impressed witli the fact that when we take the child by the hand we take I lie mother by the heart. Those who had no children of their own were none the less interested in those of others. The Salem Sabbath School, through your humble correspondent, extends to all. old and young who took part with us either in person or spirit its best wishes for their future happiness, prosperity and usefulness, and trusts that the day spent together on earth is only a foretaste of that joy, bliss and happi i 11 11 iiniim ii."* ipouim ini- i nvr uii'irt flit* superintending care of the King of Heaven ?

Any way, that has been the case this year, for since the oreeks got oror the corn it has don e but rery, very little, and a great deal has since died. As for the cotton, it is badly "swamped," and is getting worse. In this line everybody are neighbors. It is a hard matter to get anybody to hoe.

Dunu, died at Hoohaa Texas. June *20, 1899, j aged 56 years and 7 days. He was born in Union county, South Carolina at or near Wilkinsville, Jane 18th, 1888, and lived in Union until be arrived at manhood when he removed to Georgia, where he married, and from there went to California coming back 1 be settled at Ladonia, Fannin county, in i 1859. Ho was in confederate service, and t was made Captain of a company. He had , the misfortune of losing an arm in battle, at Mansfield, I believe, iu Louisiana. After the war he returned to this county and l went to work on a farm, and remained as r suoh and holding, perhaps, tbo offioe of jua- j, tice of peaoe nntil 1872, when he was elected Sheriff and Tax-oollector of the county 1 and removed to Donhain, the county soat t After he bad held the office of Sheriff and y Tax-Collector for two years, the offioe waa divided into two, and he was elected Tax ' Collector, ana beia mat otuce two years. lie accumulated a nice property, estima- r ted at from $40,000 to $50,000. lie was not j an educated man, but u man of niuoh intellectual force, true and loyal to his friends. He leaves a daughter and two sons to mourn * his death. In this county in 1858 there were 536 l mairiage licenses issued by the county t clerk, and of course there wore that many marriages, and it is certain that 30 mar- I riages, which had beeu consummated pre- i vious to that time proved infelicitous, for t 30 divorces were granted during the year; ( and ns far as my observation goes the divorce mania seems to bo on the increase, more especially in the cities and towns. I have been thinking for a year or so that j 1 would nay something through the Timks ts my people about the great amount of eggs iu this country. At this writing there is no 1 douiand for eggs, they are selling at 5 or i 0 cento i* (loitD, when aold at all. Last ( week noiuo were sold at 4 touts. The prioe , I ain sure, varies more here than auywherc else. Last winter a year ago, 1 eggs fell from 25 to 10 cents per dozen in Denison and from 110 to lOcts ia llonham, in one day. 1 bought 100 doz on that decline at 20 cents and realized 11 cents per dozen for same. When eggs are worth 25 ots per dozen, which is generally tho oasc in winter, < farmers often bring to market from two to < fifteen dollars wort It, which thsy barter for j goods. When we have a foreign market for eggs it increases Uade wonderfully, for the traffic in eggs here Is great indeed. They art shipped from this part of the State to other markets nearly every winter. Messrs Cullers & Henry, of Sherman, shipped twonnl perhaps three oar loads of egg, last winter. A little over three years ago Messrs. W. 11. Wilson & Co., of Honhams i shipped a car load of eggs to the markets. ( The highest price last winter liero was 15 cents. ' It is rather too early to speak of the crops, except in a general way. The corn crop ia safe, anil it is thought by many tlie- price, . after the present crop is gathered, will be lit) cents per bushel. The weather is unpio- * pitious now for cotton, for nearly a week the plants havo been in mud and water. We bare had eutirelv too much rain for crops. J. S.C. Hows From Kelton. Kelton, July 15.?The farmers have had a splendid opportunity to work ( out their crops during the week of fine weather which has just passed.
