The Spring emigration from Europe to the United States has assumed large :l ' proportions this year, according to the New York Sun. The arrivals! since January at Castle G?rden have added 50.000 to our population. Advices from " Germany, Italy, the British Isles and \j\ ^Sweden are such as to lead to the belief $}??:: -that we are about to have an extraordi j \ -. nary number of newcomers. - The Rev. T.DeWitt Talmadge has a Vj:simple :and easy plan for converting the world to Christianity. It is for each iristu'.n to secure one convert and each one of the converted to do the same. He calculates that if thi3 is done every year for a decade the 1,400,000,000' people of the earth could be brought into the Christian fold, and that the close of this century will witness the dawn of the millennium. ?r ? ' - ?? . President Harrison has appointed Mr. Abial Lathrop, of Orangeburg, United States District Attorney for South Car? Iin'a;.tb sncceed Hon. Leroy IV .Ton mans; whose term of office . recently expired. Mr. Lathrop is a-native of Maine, hot has been a resident of South ; Carolina since 1876. He was ribt en^ dorsed by either the McLane or Brayton :i:factions.;:; and is said to be very well ? qualified for the position. ^Sjpi:'.- ?i-?? ??-. The bestfpaying publishing house .in Arn^ieaj-r?-proportion to its capital, is a gious one, the Methodist Book con \ " eern. It last year declared'a cash divi '. - . dead of $100,000, being in this respect about on a par with a first class daily newspaper in the large cities. .The net \i profits of the book concern originally went to the support of superannuated -preachers of the denomination, though ^ since they have grown so large they have been diverted to other uses. There is no end to the new manufactu? ring enterprises in South Carolina.' It '. may be roughly estimated that during the last year more companies have been ini :; tiated and organized for industrial work than have been started during the prece ding five years. There are few towns-in the State which are not trying to get some j sort of a manufacturing company, and the ? success;which ia being met with indicates that the attempts in nearly all cases will be successful.. Seven years ago this State entered suit against the Pacific Guano . Company ;"and others for recovery of certain phos -phate lands. Litigation has dragged along from one court to another, and after repeated hearings was decided in favor'; ofJhe. State. A settlement ha? been effected during the last few days ^ by which the State has received $32,000 ? royalty ."on phosphate rock mined, while ; the property was in the hands of the phosphate companies. Besides this, " 'undisputed title to 5000 acres of marsh v phosphate, lands and to phosphate creeps has ten acquired by the State. The ^ property recovered is valued at $100,000. yWr^stoaster^ General Wannamaker thinky that instead of having" the postage rate reduced the postal service ought to be improved. But why not both be done at the same time? If the extra business which the lowered rate would bring to Lo^he department should not pay for the improvement of the service, then the necessary money for it ought to be taken oat of the surplus lying idle and unpro? ductive in the Treasury. It is well enough, perhaps, to keep the department ?,self-supporting, but it is not absolutely i-uecessary. The reduction of the letter rate folc, even though the present toll be as low asi any in Europe, and lower faring the distance in which letters re carried, would be a decidedly popular leasure. Dovmed by a Dark Horse. Washington, May 24.?The President '. to day appointed Abial Lathrop District Attorney for South Carolina to sncceed ^Leroy F. Youman3. This act of the President caused much sorrow and d isap poiDtment in the-Brayton and Melton . camps. Each was confident after con ^anlting the President and Attorney Gen Nieral Miller a few days ago that the .^appointment would drop into his individ ual grasp; hence their surprise must he 1very great. At the White House it is ^aid that neither Mr. Brayton nor Judge feltoh created a very favorable impre? r2?on .on the appointing power, and Mr. Bray ton spoiled whatever chance he may 'lave had by confiding to a friend of the Administration the fact that he had not practiced law for a number of years. In jaking this selection the President ig tored the contending South Carolina fac ions and picked out a comparatively ark horse. rv Mr. Lathrop made his canvass so uietly that but few of his friends were trare that he was in the race. He had ie endorsement of Judge Simonton and jveral other Judges in the State, and 'eve'n his enemies admit that he is a good lawyer and a man against whom nothing " personal can be charged. The South - Carolina contingent here was completely knocked oat when they saw the official announcement, and they are like strangers in a foreign land: they do not know which way to turn or what course to pur? sue. They claim that Mr. Lathrop is not a party leader by any means, and while he is regarded as a negative man, his - personal-affiliations have been with the Democrats more than with the Republi? cans. Whether the regulars will hold an indignation meeting and denounce the ^President is a question for further consid? eration. They are too full for utterance. At the instance of Mr. Brayton, Joseph W. T?lbert has been appointed postmaster 1at Ninety Six, Abbeville County, vice T. - T. Beacham, resigned, and J. J. Reynolds at Verdezy, same county, vice S.

Dry winds have blown away the promi? ses of showers that would be acceptable to our twisting corn, parching gardens, and the restless toads and dust-tracking ser? pents. Cotton, that is up, needs the sun ?shine, and is crowing where it has been properly thinned and plowed. Spring oats and wheat are ruined. Everybody is too busy to stop either to rejoice or to complain. Saturdays seem to be the days to catch the exceptions,' and full advan? tage of the time was taken by many of our local Alliance men and their friends last Saturday. All wore cheerful faces, and were apparently satisfied with their pros? pects of winning in the bagging troubles, and confident of bagging a large share of the profits alloted to hard workers. -While their intended good work is going on the destroyer lays his hand to the execution of his diabolical plans, and reduces to ashes the barn, stables, corn-crib, buggy house and the enclosing fence, with their con? tents?corn, fodder, hay, buggy, all farm? ing tools, and four head of horses?all the property of C. B. Lewis. The buildings and fences are reported to have been satu? rated with kerosene. Had the wind not been against the fire Mr. Lewis' dwelling would have suffered severely, if it had not been burned. It occurred Sunday a. rn. at 1 o'clock. Loss estimated at one thou? sand dollars. No insurance. Mr. Lewis is a substantial farmer and wiil rebuild and restock his ?arm. The ring of the hammer continues, and old buildings take new shape and new ones are reared. The colored Baptists, by a handsome bell tower and comfortable seats for their Church, are striving hard to surpass their Methodist friends,, whose Church has undergone very creditable improvements. Mr. E. BVltice is pressing forward the residence o ." the principal of our.school. He wishes to have it completed and occu? pied before the present session closes, so that visiting friends attending the com? mencement exercises may see how com? fortably our principal is to be fitted up. We had the good fortune to be an in? vited attendant at a birthday dinner last Wednesduy. Mrs. Dean was the good mother, mindful of the fact that her son was one year'older. She has another with her, and his birthday comes equally as often, but not on the day above celebrated. She loves this sou, too. Willie E. Breazeald gladened the hearts of many of his old friends last Friday by stopping to give them an opportunity to shake his hand and get a word with him. His visit was tob short. Some sad faces among those that were attending the pic nics that day. No names, bot they were not boys. Mr. R. A. Lewis is the happiest man in Belton. He is expecting Mrs. Lewis to return this week, very much improved in health. She has, for several mouths, been under medical treatment in Baltimore. His friend 3 will rejoice with him when she arrives. Kappa. Fierce to-sm Items. We had a fine rain in our section last Sabbath. It was much needed to bring up cotton that had been replanted. - We nave an all-wise providence that we should look to in case of need, and I think that is the reason the rain came, as a Church was dedicated to the worship of God in our midst, near Mr. Mr. C. B. Smith's. Rev. Coke Smith, of Wofford College, preached the dedication sermon, His text was'taken from Ephesians, 13th and 14ih verses. The Financial Commit* tee of the Church was J. I. Spearman, C. B. Smith and John MoAlister, who turned the Church over to Rev. T. C; Ligon, present .pastor. Our Heavenly Father looks over those who try to do His will and always takes care of them. We have had another wedding in our neighborhood, and one more of our pretty girls has left us to be a help-mate for another. Look to your laurel;, boys, or. you will get left aud be called old bachelors. Some of you think yon have the inside track. There is many a slip in life; don't think you have won your prize until you have bad G. M. Rogers, or sorao other man to say she is yours. Then laugh at those who are not so fortu? nate as yourself. Our farmers are doing good work this year np to this time. All the orops are looking very well, and especially B. T. Irby's brag cotton patch?about ten acres. Some of the stalks have eight leaves. He Is one of our best farmers, although he w;ll play checks. D. H. Hammond has the finest field of wheat I haye seen this season. Miss Nettie Hall's school holds up well, aud will continue some two weeks or more. There is no better teacher in the County, in our opinion. J. B. Harris' school is doing well. He is going to have an exhibition some time in June, aud wants all to come who will not hurt themselves laughing. Some of our ladies aud gents went to Williamston on Saturday to a pio nio. Not many of the "city folks" honored the visitors with their presence in the forenoon, as I have been informed, but think it was all right, as every one had a nice time. I think some of our boys would say they had a nice time if they dirove in sight of town, especially cnr young friend Clarence Guy ton. That is "O. K.," old boy; go it, and our best wish is that the ?'city" will always prosper. Dr. J. M. McConnell is doing good work in our community, as a physician, which was much needed. We are glad to have him with us, and hope his location is per? manent. Mr. C. J. Guy ton, who, has been in At? lanta, Ga., fiince Christmas, under treat? ment of Dr. Calhoun, has returned borne. His eyes are greatly improved. We have three Sunday Schools in our community at present: One at Cross Roads, one at Friendship and one at Bu lab.' The Superintendents are M. E. Deal, Capt. iL. M. Guyton and J. L Spear? man. The parents of the children in some of tbe?lobools take an active part. C&od Hopper. Items From Williams ton, 1 The interest of our village is turning now toward the closing exercises of our two excellent schools. The program of the Female College is about made out. The public exercises will begin with a sermon before the Sue KJrkland Mission? ary Society, delivered in the chapel on Wednesday evening, Jane 19th, by Rev. A. A, Marshall, the popular and faithful pastor of the Anderson Baptist Church. On the next morning, June 20th, the Rev. J. A. Clifton, of the Methodist Church in Spartanburg, will deliver an address before the Erosophio Literary Society. The Alumnae of the College will hold their annual meeting in the College parlor on Thursday afternoon; and, at the same time, the stockholders cf the College will hold a business meeting, in which, no doubt, there will be general congratula? tion on the removal of the debt of the Company. Prof. Watson is arranging for a very in? teresting occasion at the close of the ses? sion of the Male High School, which has had under his efficient management a very prosperous season. Our young folks made an excursion last Saturday to Allen's Shoals on the Sa luda, and enjoyed a day of much pleasure and innocent amusement. The health of our people is excellent, with the single exception of Mr. G. M. Bigby, who has been for some time In a delicate /condition. L. E. U. Murder at Abbeville. Abbeville, S. C, May 25.?D. Lncien Mabry, a member of the Abbeville bar, abont 25 years of age, waB shot and killed this morning by John T. Lyon. The weapon used was a double-barrelled shotgun loaded with bnckshot. Lyon is the stepfatheir of Mabry's wile, and there has been ill-feeling between the two men for some time. Last night they had some words and this morning Lyon stationed himself in the Academy building on Main street, along which Mabry must pass in going to his office. On Mabry's approach Lyon came out of the building with his gun' and shot him twice?the Becond time after he had fallen ?killing him instantly. Eleven wounds were found on Mabry's head, neck and chest. This is the case as developed by the Coroner. Public feeling is divided, but all deplore the deed. Another Account. For some time ill feeling has existed between Mr. John Lyon, a prominent farmer of Abbeville, and Mr. D. L. Mab? ry of that place, who married Miss Lila Wardlaw, the daughter of Mr. Lyon's wife. Miss Wardlaw is the granddaugh? ter of Mr. Eobert Wardlaw, well known in South Carolina, a grand niece of Judge Wardlaw, and a cousin of Mr. Patterson Wardlaw of Columbia. This morning, directly after 7 o'clock, Mr. Lyon was seen to enter the village academy, by which Mr. Mabry bad to pass on his way to his office, with a double barrelled 'shot gun in his hands. He is reported to have said he had the gun to give to some boys who were going squirrel hunting. When Mr. Mabry approached the academy Mr. Lyon stepped out and said : "Do you want to fight ?" leveling hiB gun. "No," said Mabry, "but if you ahoot you are a d?n coward." Lyon at once discharged one barrel of his gun, which was loaded with buck? shot, the charge striking Mabry in the head. As Mabry fell he said: "Don't shoot. I am killed," bot Lyon discharged the other barrel, the charge of which hit Mabry and he expired almost immediate "y-. Mr. Lyon then carried his guu to Joel Smith's and said : "I have kiiled Ma? bry." The victim of the tragedy was a prom? ising young lawyer, 26 years of age, a graduate .of Wofford College and the Uni? versity of Virginia.?Special io Columbia Register. An Astonishing Baby* Sunday afternoon abont four o'clock the police were notified that a baby had been found in the bushes near the Acad? emy Spring, in the northern part of the city. Detective Schlapbach and Officer Cooksey hurried to the place and sure enough found an infant only a few hoora old. The child was. perfectly nude and crying piteoualy. From the information obtained it appeared thatseveral children had been playing in that neighborhood, and being attracted by the cries of the youngster, made a search for its where? abouts aud discovered it hidden among some bushes and leaves. They reported the matter at once. When the officers arrived quite a crowd had collected and the infant was given into the hands of an old colored woman until the mother of the child could be found. Everythi ng pointed to the fact that the child had been born at the place where it was found. Chief of Police Kennedy and tbe other office? began a eearcb, and after several hours of skillful work and questioning, came to a house where it was reported that a colored woman was Bick. They went in and found Clora McKimly, and accused her of being the mother of tbe infant. ' For a long time she persistently denied it, and maintained her innocence until told that she would be arrested and took to jail. She at last made a confession and said that on Saturday about 1 o'clock in the afternoon she gave birth to thcchilci and had managed to get back to tho House where she was then located, leav? ing the infant without food or clothes there in the woods. The woman, under threats of arrest, consented to have the child bionght to her to care for. . A curious part of the find and a puz? zling thing to the physicians is how the child lived through the thirty hours it remained there without food of any kind and subjected to the cool air of Saturday night. It is alive and well, however, and seems healthy and lively for the experi? ence it passed through,?Greenville Neics, 28tk inst. Duel to the Death, Birmingham, Ala., May 24.?Just at sundown yesterday a duel to the death was fought in a dense wood about two miles from Brownsville, a small country village in Madison County. George Wil? son and James Bountree, young farmers, were the principals in the affair. Wilson was killed at the second fire. For several months the young men have been paying attentions to the same young lady. They had been warm friends since boyhood, but through their rivalry became jealous of each other. Last Sunday Bountree escorted the young lady to church. Wil? son was there, and, seeing them together after tbe service, approached tbe couple and asked the young lady if he could es? cort her home. She replied tu?.t she already had an escort. This seomtd to anger Wilson, and he said something to Bountree, who replied: "You are not a gentleman. I will not notice you." "You will hear from me soon," Baid Wilson as be turned and walked away. Next day Bountree received a challenge to fight a duel with pistols at ten paces. At first he decided not to fight, but that evening Wilson met him in a crowd and taunted him with cowardice. "I'll meet you, you cur, and show you I am no coward," Bountree at last retorted. The preliminaries were then arranged and the men met yesterday at sunset, The pistols used were 38 calibre Smith & Wessons, ! and the distance ten papes. Both men fired at the word, taking deliberate aim. Wilson received a slight flesh wound in the side and bis bullet grazed Bountres's left arm. "Gentlemen, are you satisfied ?" the ' seconds asked. "No," answered Wilson and raising hiB pistol he fired at Bountree again be? fore the aeeonds could give the word. He missed his man, and before he could fire again Bountree, who was perfectly cool, raised his pistol and taking careful aim, fired. Ab the shot rang through the forest Wilson threw up both hands and sank to tbe ground dead. Rountree's second bullet had passed through his neck and severed the spinal cord. As aoon as tbe party learned that Wilson was dead Bountree and his friends left the spot. Bountree is supposed to have fled the country, as he has not been seen since the occurrence,?New York Times. A Plucky Wife The following is a unique advertisemetj taken from an old Bhode Island paper: Whereas, My husband, Charles F. San ford, has thought proper to post me, and accuse me of having left his bed and board without cause, etc., I wish to mako it known that tbe said Charlie never had a bed, the bed and furniture belonging to me, given to me by my father; the room aud board he pretended to furnish me were in Providence, where he left me alone, while he stayed in tbe Valley with his "Ma." He offered me $200 to leave him and go home, telling at the same time that I could not stay at the place he had provided for me, and as I had never seen the named sum, I suppose he will let me have it if I can earn the amount. It was useless for Charlie to warn the public against trusting me on his account, as my father has paid my bills since my marriage as before. Moral.?Girls, never marry a man not weaned from his "Ma," and don't marry the whole family. Eleako.1 j. Sanfoed. CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Carnesville, Ga., May, 16?James Hart, a young man some 17 or 18 years old, who lives on Mr. Jasper Harber's place, was oat hunting last Saturday evening with a dog and gun. He was standing at a gate with the stock of the gun on the ground and the muzzle of it on his breast and bis foot upon the gate, when a dog ran by and knocked his foot downward. As it went down' it hit the hammer of the gun, but not enough to cock it. When it fell it fired the gun and discharged the load into his head and neck and killed him instantly. Athalia, Ohio, May 22.?Miss Bettie Kyle and Miss Rucker engaged in a terrible fight near this place on last Sun? day evening, in the course of which both combatants were very badly hurt. Miss Kyle's wounds were such as to lay her up for quite a time. The girls were on their way home from church, and the trouble originated in a dispute as to which should have the exclusive company of a young man. Both girls had penknives and they began to cut and slash at each other, despite the efforts of their friends to in? terfere. Finally Miss Kyle fell, and while down, Miss Rucker drew the edge of her knife across her back, inflicting a cut which extended from the spine to the left armpit. Miss Kyle fainted and the fight was over. Miss Rucker was ar? rested, but Justice Bowen discharged her. Dallas, Tex., May 26.?The east bound Texas and Pacific passenger train reached the crossing of the Santa- Fe, between thia city and the fair grounds, last night about 9 o'clock. At this point two men boarded the express car, knock? ed Messenger Ray, of the Pacific express company, in the head with a six shooter. They bound his hands, and at the muzzle of their pistolB, forced him to hand over the key of the safe. The train, while this was going on, was making its usual speed, the crew and .passengers being utterly oblivious to the thrilling events transpiring in the express car. From the safe it is estimated the robbers took $5, 000. In a deep out, one-half or three fourths of a mile east of where the robbers boarded the train, they pulled the bell cord. The engineer answered the signal, thinking, of coarse, the conductor wanted him to stop. The train slowed up. While the speed was being slackened the robbers jumped off and fired two shots at the messenger. Not until the train came to a standstill was the robbery brought to the notice of the passengers and crew. By this time the robbers were out of sight, leaving no clew behind. Newnan, Ga,, May 25.?Last night about 8:30 o'clock, while the sky was cloudless and not a breeze was stirring, a sudden flash from the heavens lit up the whole earth and startled all who saw the phenomenon. It looked like a red ball of fire which was no sooner seen in the northwestern horizon than it bursted in its descent, scattering sparks; in its train similar to those witnessed in a black? smith shop when hammering red hot iron, changing its color from red to blue. No noise followed the explosion. Yet had it been as near as it seemed it could have been easily heard. Those who saw it all seemed to think it wasrightat them, and it is related by a party of picnicers who were returning from Sargent's factory, that those sitting on the front seat jump? ed from the gondola to prevent it hitting them. The people are greatly excited over it, and some of the more superstitious predict it the forerunner of some great calamity. Thja is the second one of the kind witnessed here this week. Detroit, Michigan, May 27.?A spe? cial from Port Huron says: Albert Martin, the mulatto who so brutaliy out? raged Mrs. John Gillis, wife of a farmer living near this city, about two weeks ago, was taken from the county jail about 2 o'clock this morning and lynched. Ever since the outrage occurred there has ' been considerable talk of lynching, but the fact of its being talked bo openly, led :he sheriff and police to pay no attention. About 2 o'clock Turnkey Laroche opened she door, when ho was confronted by three strangers wearing masks. They seized Laroche and demanded the keys. ! He said he did not. have them. They then choked, beat and dragged him into the street, when about fifty masked men rushed him around the corner. The mob were armed with revolvers, and a few had sledge hammers, with which they soon-battered down the iron doors. The door of Martin's cell was not locked, and as the mob entered he said: "What in the hell do you want ?" These were his last words, A noose was quickly made in a long rope which the lynchers carried, and it was slipped over his neck while he was yet m bed. The other end of the rope reached out to the street, where it was held by uot less than fifty willing hands; With a blood curdling yell the mob started on the run. Martin was unable to regain his feet, and was drag? ged through the sheriffs office out to the streetfhis hes.d striking the coal stove with such force as to turn it half way round. Amid shouts and the firing of revolvers the infuriated mob headed for the Seventh street bridge, three blocks away. They had to turn two street cor? ners on their way, and as they made the turn by the Baptist church, the poor wretch's head caught in the stone cover? ing to the gutter. "No effort was made to extricate him, and ?. halt was made only long enough to ^ive a terrible tug on the rope, by whicn the body was re? leased, The noose on the rope had loos? ened, and the knot being in front, slip? ped over the wretch's chin and into his mouth. It was then tightened until his jaw was pulled down upon his neck in a manner which must have caused the victim terrible suffering. Arriving at tho bridge one end of the rope was ran over an irou stringer, and Martin was swung off. His body, which by this time must nave been lifeless, was left hang? ing, and with a few parting shots the mob quitted the scene. No attempt was made to arrest any member of the mob. It is thought it was composed of Mr. GiHia's neighbors, Fonda for Format! University, Greenville, S. C, May 21.?The ex? ecutive board of the American Baptist Education Society, which concluded its work in Boston on Monday, has donated to Furman University the sum of $7,500 for the additional endowment of that institution, provided South Carolina Baptists will raise $20,000 to add to this amount given by the Society. The sum given is part of a fund donated for dis? tribution to such institutions by Juo D. Rockefeller, the great Standard Oil mil? lionaire, and out of sixty-five applications for part of the fund, Furman University was one of the eight colleges to receive a share. The trustees of the University i will, no doubt, accept the offer at the ! next meeting, $nd havp uo hesitancy in sayiDg the $20,000 will be raised by the 1 time called for, December, 1890. A Valuable Offer. T. M. R. Talcott, first vice-president of the Richmond and Danville Railroad Company, has issued the following let? ter : "The Richmond and Danville Railroad Company desires to assist in the develop? ment of the region tributary to its lines by acquiring and disseminating accurate knowledge of such minerals, building stones, etc., as are accessible and can be utilized for practical purposes, and to en? courage prospecting, which may result in the discovery of valuable minerals. The co-operation of all persons who are inter? ested in the development of these uatural resources is invited, and they are request? ed to send to this office the best specimens obtainable of whatever mineral substances they may find, or which they may know where found, in the region above staled, with a full description of locality where found, character of the deposit, and appa? rent quantity. The nature and value of specimens, when ascertained, will be made known to the persons who send them. All agents of the Richmond and Danville Railroad Company are authoriz? ed to Bhip free of charge specimens of minerals, timbers, building stonea, etc., which are addressed to tho undersigned. In every case the name of the sender 1 Bhould accompany the specimen," I Millions in Cotton Oil. Col?mbia, S. C, May 25.?Great in? terest naturally centres now in tbe cotton seed oil business, for tbe reason that so many new mills are projected all over South Carolina. Sixteen of them have applied for charters already this year, and as more than half have been incorporated it is reasonable to suppose that they will be at work by theopening of the next cotton season. This is an opportune time for considering the possibilities of this new manufacture in the State. A rough idea of the quantity of raw material available may be obtained by means of the following calculation. Tbe cotton crop of the State in good seasons is about 600,000 bales of 450 pounds each, or 243,000,000 pounds. As the seed pro? duct is twice as heavy as the lint, it ap? pears that the full annual yield of cotton seed is 486,000,000 pounds or 215,000 long tons. No figures have been given for the season just ended, but during the preced? ing season the Columbia mills paid the producer, according to the News and Cou? rier's review of the business of Columbia in 1887-88, an average of $13 per ton. At this valuation the State's annual crop of cotton Beed woold be worth $2,795,000. Of course, under no circumstances would all of this seed be available for milling purposes, as much of it is produced too far away from the markets, much has to be retained for planting the next crop, and quantities are wasted and damaged. But, bo far as the production is concerned, it is believed that this estimate of seed is below rather than above the mark. Du? ring the season of 1887-88 tbe Columbia mills sold their products for an average price of about $20 a ton, roughly divided as follows: Oil $12, meal $6, lint $2. At these prices the seed product of South Carolina, after passing through the mills, would be worth $4,250,000. It may be thought that the business is being over? done, and that the seed cannot be obtain? ed in sufficient quantities to supply the mills. But when it is considered that the new mills aie nearly all very small as compared with the two leading Columbia mills, and that combined they will not more than equal the capacity of the mills already established, which grind say 50, 000 tons a year, it is evident that the State's supply of seed cannot be more than half consumed during the next year or two. For example, the three new mills to be erected by the United Cotton Seed Oil Com pany?and they are the largest of the new onea?will grind about 60 tons each Eer day, while one of the Columbia mills as a capacity of 125 tons a day, and another can grind 100 tons. An experi enced cotton Beed miller tells me that next season will be the first in which a full test of the success of the manufacture on a competitive basis will be afforded. At the same time he has no fears that the supply of seed will run short, as he has found that the greater the number of mills the greater has been the supply of seed. Manufacturers of cotton oil must, of course, consider the danger of over-pro? duction, but this would seem to be remote at present, as tbe consumption of the production is so rapidly extending and increasing. The small "neighborhood mills/' if properly managed, ought to do well, be? cause they will have no freight to pay on their seed, and it would be hard for other mills to draw their supply away from them when the producore them? selves are interested in the local manu? facture. After, all the only serious danger to this growing industry is the existence of a nig monopoly like the Cotton Oil Trust, which has the means and the will to make itself disagreeably felt by the small mills. It may not be generally known that the Oliver Brothers have sold out their interest in the Southern Oil Company and are again in the business on their own account, building one hundred and fifty ton mills at Charlotte and Atlanta, and prospecting for one in Birmingham. The Olivers entered the oil business before the trust was organized and made money out of a small mill in Charlotte. They then put up an eighty ton mill in Columbia. 'The newly organized trust, however, forced them to sell out these mills and the Olivers assisted in organiz? ing the Southern Oil Company, which ?ut up mills here and elsewhere in the outh as far as Texas. This new compa? ny, by the way, in spite of the competi? tion of tbe trust, paid last winter 4 per cent, dividend on its stock of four millions. Tbe cost of their plant could not have been half as much. Now the Olivers, who are worth about a million between them, have abandoned the Southern and begun again on their own account. It has;been reported that they did this because the Southern has entered into a combination with the trust, but this rumor has been vigorously denied and is not credited by men who ought to know. The United Cotton Seed Oil Company will probably establish mills in other States, as well as in Sonth Carolina. The stronger and more numerous these com? petitors the smaller will be the chance of the trust again securing control of the business and depressing the price of seed. So all ought to be welcomed.-t.iVttM and Courier._ Bobbing Peter to Pay Paul. The appropriation for pensions in the year ending June 30,1889, was $88,400, 000, and it is a question with the com? missioner of pensions whether the amount expended will not reach $105,000,000. Adding to this $88,400,000 appropriated for paBt services, the $58,60.0,000 we. pay for the services of the 36,600 men consti? tuting our present army and navy, we find that our total annual military and naval burden is $147,000,000. This is a vast expenditure for peace times, and the country is not the better pleased with it ^when it reflects that the most of it is money thrown away. It exceeds, it must be confessed, the military expendi? tures of the much pitied monarchies of Europe. Our expenditure for pensions alone ex? ceeds the cost of the most powerful stand? ing armies of this age of bloated arma? ments. Germany, for instance, spends but $85,000,000 a year to maintain her efficient standing army of 445,000 men. The 16,750 men in tne German navy represent.an expenditure of but $9,000, 000 more. The amount, therefore, we are likely to spend this year in pensions; would maintain the army and navy of the most powerful empire on $he Continent. Ger? many's annual outlay for pensions, however, is but $5,100,000, though Ger? manv has carried on two great wars since our last in 1861-65. Evidently we are very much overdoing the pension busi? ness. England maintains he? very expensive army of 210,000 men on fro .n $85,000,000 to $90,000,OQQ a year. F.ei magnificent navy, with its complement of48,280 men, costs her but $63,000,000 a year. Our present expenditure of $147,000,000 for pensions and a diminutive army and navy would, therefore, about suffice to maintain the entire force with which England holds a world-wide empire. With an annual expenditure of but $132, 800,000 France Bupports an army of 523,280 men. Her navy, which is second to that of England, costs her but $39, 000,000. Austria-Hungary has an ar? my of 266,000 men, which costs the em? pire $49,330,000 a year, and her navy, which numbers 11,500 men, costs but !&4,500,000 more. We are accustomed to lament the con? dition of the populations of Europe on account of the vaBt burdens they bear. They are ground down, we eay, with taxes to support "bloated armaments," the object of which is to maintain the privileged classes in the possession of their ill-gotten gains. But is not our case worse ? We not only pay more in taxes for pensions than all other countries in the civilized world put together, but what we pay for this object exceeds the annual coBt of Germany's standing force, in army and navy, of 461,750 men. And we pay it, not chiefly for the benefit of our 450,000 pensioners, but in order that a privileged class of manufacturers may thrive 1 Back of all our present pension legislation is the purpose of the Protec? tionist manufacturers to prevent the reduction of the taxes. This is shown in a thousand ways. The animus of the present Adminis? tration, as indicated by the rulinga of the pension bureau, is to prevent any apparent necessity for a reduction of taxes by increasing the pension list without regard to the merits of claimants. The country is being debauched by such a policy. We cannot too soon put a stop to loose views as to pensions which are dissipating the means of the people.? Baltimore Sun. Encouragement for Farmers. New York, May 24.?The Board of Managers of the New Yoirk Cotton Ex? change to day endorsed the report of the Committee on Trade in the matter of the letter of the Farmers' National Alliance, of New Orleans, which recommended uniform bales for cotton, and the use of cotton bagging for baling. The commit? tee approve the idea of uniform bales of 600 pounds each. The use of cotton bag? ging for covering, the committee believed, would use up a cheap grade cotton and form the means of employment for many hands in the manufacture. It would be advantageously used in exporting. It was considered useless for the New York Cotton exchange to pass any rale In the matter. It was referred to a special committee. Wants to Pay his Debts,, Philadelphia, May 24.?An adver? tisemcnt in a local newspaper to day calls upon the creditors of Joseph Bat tin, grocer, to present their claims. Mr. Battin failed in 1837 and made u partial settlement with his creditors, which left him destitute. He removed to Albany, invented a coal-breaker, engaged in the gas business, and now, at the age of eighty-three years, has retired from ouBi ness with a fortune. Before he dies he wants to pay all his creditors in full, but after fifty-two years finds a good deal of difficulty in finding who they are and what he owes them?hence his advertise? ment. ? A queer accident occurred in Co? lumbus, 0., the other day. A barber was shaving a customer, when a negro child fell from the window of a room above the barber shop, and iu the fall it struck the window sash beneath, treating several panes of glass. The barber was so greatly startled that he jumped sud? denly, and as he c id so his razor took off a part of his customer's nose as well as a part of one of his own fingers. ?
