He pro? poses to tax all estates over $1,000,0001 per cent., all over ?2,000,0002 percent, and noon, increasing 1 per cent with every million. This, "he says, will raise $2,(100,000,000 revenue.

Walsh at its head the occasion will be a grand success. Augusta is a live city, composed of live business men, and when she undertakes any thing they corn bin a their efforts and never make a fail? ure. Crop reports from the Dakotasand . Northern Minnesota are very disconrag i ing.. Hot and high winds have been ??? blowing. - The ground is parched and the ripening grain is wilting. In places far? mers will hardly be able to harvest an jura. Expert wheat* men say that tbe i damage done already is from 25 to 60 per cent, and the average harvest west of the Red River belt will hardly be 40 per cent, of that of two years ago. Nearly a million Columbian souvenir half dollars are still held at the Philadel? phia Mint, subject to the orders, of the Secretary of the Treasury. The opinion or Attorney General Olney that no more money ought to be . paid to the World's ' Columbian Exposition will take tbe con-, trol of tho souvenir coins out of their hands and in all probability tbe coins will be placed in ciroalation at par value, as 3t is stated at 'he Mint that they will probably not be reooined. The Secretary of Agriculture and the Chief of the Weather Bureau desire to have the weather forecasts of greater use lain ess to the farmer. To this end the number of stations for the display of the weather forecasts, the sounding of steam figgjjjt??? by mills and factories, etc., is y increased. By the use of telegraph and telephone the "Proba? bilities" will ere long reach a very large majority of the population of tbe entire country from 24 to 86 hours ahead of the coming changes. The Sumter Watshman says the anti dispensary people of Lancaster County were too quick in congratulating them . selves that there would be no liquor sold iu their County. Pleasant Hill, a town In that County, boasting three freehold voters, has determined to be the disturb? ing spirit. One freeholder wants to be dispenser, one opposes the wholo scheme, and the other was supposed to be indif? ferent. The would-be dispenser, how? ever, has induced the indifferent freehol? der to sign his petition, and the State of Sooth Carolina, wholesale and retail liquor dealer, will gain a foothold in Lan . caster. Jay Gould's millions are subject to more ops and downs in the world than is the average lot of man. When he died he left stocks valued at ?70,000,000.. These securities increased in value rapidly until January 20, when the Gould estate was worth in the market $12,000,000 more than when its creator died. But all that profit and several millions more besides have been wiped out by recent events ia Wall - street. When the market closed on Jane 3 the Gould trust securities were worth 16,000,000 less than on the day' Jay Go aid died. Even that was better than their condition a month ago. On May 5 the Gould block of Western Union, Manhat ? Can and Missouri Panfificwas worth about ?61,000,000, or f9,0M>,000 less than on December 4, when Mr. Gould died. The zigzag of the Gould millions in these few months makes an interesting stndy in big figures. Taking $70,000,000 as a basis it is seen that the estate has touched as high a limit as $82,000,000 and as low a i one as 961,000,000, a fluctuation of121,000,-! ??Q, i ? Connecticut has the champion fool of (his country, A few days ago he conclu? ded he would play a joke and scare his friends. Filled np with this festive idea he provided himself with a new rope and a box, fastened tbe ro> o and fixed it se curely around his neck, and after a big groan or two to attract the attention of his friends jumped, but he missed his, goago, his groans didn't come in on time j and ne was strangled nearly to death be fore they got him down. Henceforth when the joking fever strikes him he will take some other than the choking way let ropes alone. TVil.L IT HE A FAILURE? The Colombia Slate, of June 30tb, makes the following prediction in regard to the new Liquor Law: This is the last day of the liquor license system in South Carolina. Ou and after to-morrow the alcoholic traffic becomes a State monopoly. Before the new system goes into effect we wish to record our prediction that it will fail, and in its ,'ailure do more to pull down Tillmanism than any other agenoy could possibly do. We make this prophecy with more con? fidence than any of those which have already been vindicated by time. The dispensary system is going to fail: First: Because? in a general sense all onr people are opposed to monopoly. Second: Because our people are against spies, informers and sneaks, and the State s monopoly of the liquor traffic cannot to maintained without the inces? sant activity of spies, informers and sneaks. Third: Because it will take a very short time to satisfy the prohibitionists that the jaw as "a step toward prohibition" is a Lham and a fraud, and those who are earnest and honest in their dosire for prohibition will not rest content with it. Fourth: Because the law will not bring the revenue which was tbe chief Inducement to its passage and the only inducement to its rigorous enforcement by Governor Tillman, who is an avowed anti-prohibitionist. If it will not pay it will be repealed. Count on that! - Fifth: Because to enforce it, even measurably, against the importation of liquors from other States and the'opera? tion of "blind tigers." there would be required a force of spies sufficient to ab? sorb any profits which could be made by the sale of dispensary liquor, or, at the best, leave the profit so insignificant that . the people will not think the game worth the candle. Sixth: Because under the Constitu? tional provision giving Congress the sole power to "regulate commerce among the several States," and the Federal inter State commerce law resulting therefrom, original packages of liquor may be sent into the State with freedom and impuni j ty, and in quantities sufficient to enable consumers to get better liquor at lower I cost than they could do in the dispen? saries. Seventh: Because 21 of the 85 counties j in South Carolina border on North Caro ! lina, Georgia .and the Atlantic ocean? I which means the world?and nothing I bht the sale by the dispensaries of tbe finest liquors at the lowest price yielding a profit will prevent the smuggling of contraband stuff in great quantities into the State. Eighth; Because the inter-State rail? roads will not consent to the loss of their revenues from the importation of liquors into the State, and the clauses of the law cutting off their business will have to be passedupon by the Federal courts; which courts will deny the right of the State Legislature to control inter-State traffic Ninth: Because in many counties dis? pensaries cannot be established by the consent of the freehold voters of the municipalities, and proper legal proceed? ings can negative attempts to establish them without such consent. v Tenth: Because the prices charged for liquors by the dispensaries are far too high, the number of such dispensaries will be too small and the red tape requir? ed is too obnoxious to make it economi? cal or convenient or pleasant for most people to buy. their supplies at the State establishments. They will take the li? quor wniohis best, cheapest and most approximate, and that, in most cases, will be non-dispensary liquor. Eleventh: Because it will be found,' upon practical experience, to be almost Impossible to convict by jury persons charged with the violation of the dispen? sary law. The wholesale experience of coast counties like Beaufort. Colleton and Berkeley, and, in a lesser degree, that of many other counties, from Barn well to Oconee, warrants this expectation. Twelfth: Because the law is going to bear most heavily upon the very class who constitute the majority of the Till manUe faction?the poorest class of far? mers. The man with money may send out of the State for his liquors in quan? tity, even if he shall have tailed to lay in a stock before the dispensary law goes into effect; but the man without enough ready money to follow suit is left depen? dent upon the dispensary, which will sell him the poorest grades of liquor at a much higher price than he is accustomed to pay?a higher proportionate price than the boat liquor, which is and has been beyond , his reach. He will have tbe optici between the dispensary and the "blind tiger," and he ^ not apt to let his admiration for Governor Tillman keep him from buying hia liquor where he can f;et it cheapest. He is not apt, either, to nform on the man who has sold him contraband liquor. The disgusi of this element with the dispensary law will mean its abandonment. We could go on to multiply reasons. The fact that regular drinkers all over tbe State have made heavy purchases of liquor in advance will-keep the business ox the dispensaries during their early months down to very small proportions. By thetlmestocksonhand are exhausted, systems for getting liquor into the State will be devised and in successful opera? tion, even if the law be not thrown out by the courts or repealed before that time. The big debts already contracted by the State for liquor will have to be paid, and as they cannot be paid before the Legislature meets, out of tbe profits of the business, that body will be called upon to provide for a deficit instead of receiving a great income. There will be friction and dissatisfaction and disap? pointment everywhere. The law may be modified and dispensaries may be forced upon every town, bqt that will antagonize the prohibitionists and make little difference in its favor. It is a bad law, an anti-Democratic law, and is con? trary to the genius of the American sys? tem. It will be repealed, or it will defeat the party or faction upholding it. In these predictions we do not consult our hopes. We reason from our knowl? edge of foots and conditions. Sooh a law could not ba enforced in a self-gov? erning State without a general moral support which this measure lacks. An Extra Session Ordered. Washington, June 30,?Tbe President this evening issued the following procla? mation : Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C, June SO, 1893.?Whereas, the dis? trust and apprehension concerning the financial situation which pervade all bus? iness circles have already caused great loss and damage "to onr people, and threaten to cripple our merchants, stop the wheels of manufacture, bring distress and privation to onr farmers and with? held from our wonclng men the wage of labor: And, whereas, the present perilous con? dition is largely the result of a financial policy which the Executive branch of the Government finds embodied in unwise laws, which most- be executed until repealed by Congress: Now, therefbre.1, Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, in per? formance of constitutional duty, do, by this proclamation, declare that an extra ordinary occasion requires tbe convening of both houses of the Congress of the rjnited States at tbe Capitol in the City of Washington on the 7th day of August next, at 12 o'clock neon, to the end that the people may be relieved through legis? lation from present and impending dan? ger and distress. All those entitled to act as members of the 53d Congress are required to take notice of this proclama? tion and attend at the time and place above stated. Given under my hand and the seal of the United States at tbe citj of Washing? ton on the 30th day of June in tbe year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred find ninety-three, and of tbe indepen? dence of the United States the one hun? dred and seventeenth. Grover Clevej^and. The proclamation was iBsued at 6 o'clock this evening. The President had laft' directions for the issuance of the proclamation before his departure for Gray Gables. The determination to call an extra session tbe first week in August, Instead of the first week in September, it Is understood, was only definitely reacts ed at this morning's Cabinet session, after giving full weight to numerous telegrams received from all parts of the country urging this course. Another consideration which caused the President to change bis mind was foreshadowed in a remark made by one of his Cabinet officers two days ago. that if the Presi? dent received reasonable assnrances that there was a likelihood of the prompt repeal of the so-called Sherman silver purchase law, he might be disposed to call Congress together earlier than he bad announced. It Is inferred from this fact that the president has done so, that he considers be has obtained the assurances be desired. Most of the Cabinet have followed tbe President's example and have loft the city or are leaving for brief vacations. Those who remain say that tbe President's proclamation speaks for itself and decline to discuss the situation further. It is almost conclusively established that tbe calling of tbe August session of Congress was not determined upon until after midday to-day. The plain facts appear to be that the disturbances of values arising from the uncertainties of the situation grew bo alarming that Mr. Cleveland was at last compelled to ac? knowledge that the "unexpected oontin gencies authorizing an earlier meetimr m Congress," which he spoke of in h ?*. eis brated interview of June 5, had arrived. The action of the British Government in India brought the mat tor to a crisis. Previous to that startling event Cleveland had manifested a firm determination -.0 adhere to his plan of calling Congress in September, After the Buspension, of silver coinage in India the President resolutely declined to speak further about his intentions until he should be prepared to act, and each of his Cabinet 0dicers maintained similar silence. It may be stated, however, without violation of confidence, that from the day when the announcement of the action of the India Government was made the President took steps to keep himself forewarned through press dis? patches of the slightest approach to a panic in the money market and was pr 3 Eared at any moment to take the course e has now adopted if it seemed to him that by so doing it would in any way tend to allay alarm and restore public confidence. When to-day ho found tele? grams on bis table, not only from the Eastern and Middle States, but also from the Sonth and even from some of the silver States of the Northwest, urging that Cougress be called together at the earliest day possible to end the uncer? tainty, be determined to delay no longer. But even in taking this action the Presi? dent took steps as far as he could to pro vent its being known before the Stock Exchange closed, so as to avoid any appearances of exercising undue influ? ence on the stock market. The effect of the announcement upc n Senators and Representatives in the city was very marked. Concerning the Silver Fallacy. From New York Puck. There was good gospel in the statement which Secretary Carlisle gave to tine country a few days ago?gospel which should be preached unremittingly in those farming sections of the West where good crops are not the rule. It would be a waste of time to preach it to the true sllverite whose prosperity is in any way contingent npon the output of silver. Tell this man that the Secretary of the Treasury, under the Sherman Act of Ju? ly 14th, 1890, has purchased of him and now holds in the vaults of the Treasury, uncoined, 124,292,532 fine ounces of si Ivor bullion, which cost the rest of us $114, 299,920, and which is worth to-day $103, 411,386, and he will answer that the Direc? tors of the Bank of England have hung the portrait of Grover Cleveland in their room, and that the loss of $10,888,534, which the people of the United Statts have thus suffered, has gone to' swell British coffers. We think the Populist, however, could be made to suspect thut this loss to the people was a profit to the silver venders. The Populist, using the term genetically, is the product of those Western farming lands that have failed to produce much else. His developmer t under the conditions haa been perfectly natural. Settled upon land that does net yield readily to cultivation, and wit hoi t capital to treat it properly, he suffers two or three years of bad crops and fails into the hands of the money lenders. For the first time in his life he begins to con? sider finance as a science. Two things make him conclude that there is ne t enough money in circulation. The suo burns up his corn in July and his inter? est falls due in August. He learns thi t onr "per capita" is $24.47, and he reason 3 that if this were doubled his own weal t 1 wonld be doubled. Some one tells him that this can be accomplished by the frea coinage of silver. The thing seems rea? sonable, and he declares for free silver. He then looks for a corn-fed oracle of th a Jerry Simpson stripe Co advocate hi 3 views in Congress. It does not occur t > him that an actual shortage in the circu? lating medium would immediately ba supplied from the surplus in the banks and the Treasury. He only knows that he works hard without satisfactory re? sults, und he lays bis failure to an insect he calls the "gold bug." That is the way the Populist gets his free-silver doctrine, and he has no trouble in finding Con gressmen and editors to preach it for im. Ho has a general sort of belief that the Government or "Society" should se a that he is prosperous, whether he expend 3 his energy to good ''advantage or nou His money theories are easiest refuted, however, because they are the most tangible of his whole nebulous system. There never has been a better time for him to learn that money is only a con? venient medium for exchanging labor and produce, and that if all the silver ja the world were coined into dollars it would not make him any richer. "For value received'-' must be the key-note of civilization for some time to come. Kf two dollars of cheap money won't buy any more than one dollar of dear money, they are not worth any more. It is junt as true that tbo Government which pays out a universal medium of exchange fer one that is not universal, is on the road to ruin. A man who bought up cobble? stones With the idea of making money out of them would find hordes of believ? ers in cobble-stone currency until he tried to pay bis debts, with tbem. Then he would arouse the same howl of indig? nation that we hear every time an imagi? native reporter credits the Treasury with the intention of redeeming its notes in silver. Silver has fallen 34.66 per cent, in fifteen years, during which time the Government has bought over half a bil? lion dollars worth of the metal. The philosopher of the Simpsonlan school should examine facts of this kind a litt e more closely. They are within his grasp, because he knows, in a general way, that over-production of an article cheapens it. Thore is another truth, perhaps easier of comprehension than all the others, which the Populist would do well to ponder. AH this talk about free silver and other forms of paternalism is only putting capital farther out of his reach. The West needs capital, and sound ideas on finance are necessary, since It can only attract capital by a reputation for hone.it daaling. The Sherman law will be repealed in September. Tbe repeal is demanded not only by business men but by the politicians, who are qulok to sue the trend of public sentiment. And, i\s the absurdity of the law grows more apparent from year to year, we shall ciime to wonder that there was ever a man simple-minded enough to frame it, and a people patient enough to face it to the verge of disaster. Lightning's Deadly Work. St. Pap*,, Min?., June 21.?During a sovere thunder storm this afternoon it River Falls, Wie.? just over the Minne? sota line, lightning struck the cent-.-e pole of tbe circus tent of Ringling Bro 3. Seven people wpre killed: Instantly, and quite a number injured, none of the latter fatally, The killed; O. A. Deaa, Eugene Reynolds, A. Carpenter, a four? teen-year-old son of O. P. Wiggins, a twelve-year-old son of Curtis Aldrica, J. A. Glendenoing, town clerk of Oi>k Grove, and an unknown boy. Tbe greatest consternation followed. The rain continued falling in great sheets, and the bodies of the dead were soaked through before they could be remove!. As soon as possible Ringling Bros, and their employees did everything in their power to alleviate the condition of the wounded. 'The dead wore taken down town and laid out; on poors' 'of engine houses, where v. ith the exception of an unknown boy, they wore identified in a few minutes after their arrival. The scene as relatives identified their dead was distressing. One elderly gen? tleman, tbe father of young Dean, tainted and was carried out of tbe engine housa. Theoiotbing on some of tbe dead wns torn in shreds, while others presented to external evidences of inlury except tbe awful stare and rigid features. The number of wounded is estimated all' the way from ten to thirty. Most of tbem wore taken home as soon as possi? ble and are now doing well. The presence of mind of the Ringlings and their employees prevented a stam? pede, which undoubtedly would have been attended with still raoro fatal re? sults. Tbe crowd was held lu chock and the dead and wounded romoved as soon as possible, The Champion Cowboy. Chicago, June 27.?John Berry, riding his celebrated chestnut horse, "Poison," is the winner of the cowboy race from Cbadron, Neb., to this city, He reached bis destination, Buffalo Bill's Wild Weat Show, at tbe World's Fair Ground.!, ahead of all competitors, at 0,30 th's morning. He covered the last 150 milts of the distance in twenty-four hour). The next arrival was two hours behind Berry. ? Some fiends dug into tbe grave of Charles Kelly, one of the men lynched for tbe murder of Tax Collector Arn.' strong, of Butler county, Alabama, and threw the remains out on top of the rround. The motive for this act is not mown. ? A prisoner in the Texas penitentiary who, on circumstantial evidence was ser - te.nced to the penitentiary for life for killing a man, recognized tbe man 1:0 was charged with having killed in a ne<v batch of convicts just arrived. He is in, and as, under the laws of Texas, neither can testify, the question is how he is going to get out? He is in tbe pen ac? cording to law, and his supposed victim also in the pen and in the flesh is legally dead. >*ir Onl. r of Things in Sontli Caro? lina. Charleston, S. C. July 1.?Tbis old city is remarkably quiot to day after the wild saturnalia which terminated at midnight last night and marked the assumption by tho Stale government of the liquor traffic of the State. Tho streets were crowded until midnight when the saloons closed in accordance with the re? quirements of the Evans law. There were one or two attempts to get up torch? light processions, but the police speedily checked these. Effigies representing Governor Tillman were found strung up to lamp-posts in various streets and these attracted crowds, but there was no con? spicuous disorder. Withoutdoubt, one of the most remark? able sights ever witnessed anywhere was the scene that took place botween the hours of noon and midnight yesterday. It became known that one of tbe largest grocery and liquor firms in the South was selling whisky at very low rates. Tho negroes began to flock to the ware? house Boon after and tbe rush was kept up till the proprietors were forced to close the building as the hour of midnight chimed from tho historic spire of St. Michael's church. Never was such a sight seen except, perhaps, in a dry town. Men, women and children troop? ed in. They come from everywhere from the Boro, from Princess street, from tbe tenements in tbe suburbs, from the Ten Mile hill and even from Ashley Junction. Tbey brought with them utensils and bottles of every kind. Never in the world has there been seen such a miscel? laneous collection of "growlers." They brought coffee pots and teapots, kerosene cans, bottles, jugs, jars, watering pots', slop pails, pitchers, washing tubs, paint buckets, everything portable that would bold water was pressed into service, and the procession was kept up until tbe chimes of St. Michas: struck tbe first quarter that indicated the time of mid? night. The most curious feature of the whole business is that the changed and crimi? nal character which now attaches to the business is not absolute. It is only crim? inal for tbe citizen to sell whisky. The State can sell it without violating any moral law. It is made criminal for the citizen to sell it because the State has itself engaged in the business and wants ' no rival. To-day many of the barrooms are open. Probably fifty of these, mostly corner shop groggeries, have closed their doors, but a majority of tbe barrooms, pure and simple, are open. All have free lunches spread and announce the sale of soil drinks. Rice beer, seems to be the favorite tipple. No arrests have as yet been made, although it is said that the governor has in the city two Pinkerton men and a score of State constabularies in disguise. One of the bars in the suburbs has kept open all day and is selling whiskey Just as under the old dispensation, the object being to make a test case to be carried to the United States Supreme Court, but no interference has as yet occurred. Charleston is so well supplied with its toddy to-day that it will be able to get along for at least six months without the Palmetto cocktail. As far as has been heard from only a half dozen dispensaries were opened throughout the State to-day, and these were only furnished with a limited sup? ply of Single Starr Palmetto rye.. Columbia, S. C, - July 1.?This has been a quiet day throughout the State, and up to this evening no disturbances have been reported. It was ascertained to-day that Governor Tillman had the exeoutive mansion guarded by peniten? tiary guards last night, claiming that there were rumors of some threats, none of which, however, can be traced down. Attorney General Town send visited a wine company in tho city yesterday and laid in a supply for home consumption. At least one railroad in the State will handle liquor that is consigned by paities outside the State to persons in the State. The Richmond and Danville authorities here to-day received instructions from headquarters to that, effect. The board of control recently decided that such ship? ments could be received provided tbe roads notified them, giving names and places. The Richmond and Danville authorities have instructed their men that nobody's leave is to be asked. In this city all but five liquor dealers closed their saloons. There is no record of any sales. In several of these open saloons liquors are displayed on the shelves, which is a distinct violation of section 16 of the dispensary law, tbe bot? tles and labels being an indication that liquors were there for sale. The Governor will, in a few days, be after the druggists with a sharp stick for a violation of the law, which requires that on the opening of the dispensary they shall apply lor blanks, whereon they shall state the amount of liquor tbey have on hand, and after that to make a monthly statement as to the uses to which it has -been put. Only one drug f;ist in the State has complied with the aw in this respect. From dispatches received by tbe State to-day it does not appear that tbe dispen? saries have done a rushing business in the counties. ? In Newberry there were 100 applications, twenty being rsfused. Nearly all of these were for half-pints. Tbe receipts were about $16. At Camden 110 pints and two dozen bottles of beer were sold to 130 persons, realizing 847.60. ?Dispatch to Atlanta Constitution. The Extraordinary Session Washington, July 1.?The opinion is held by a number of Congressmen that tbe extraordinary session called yester? day by the President will not be a lengthy one, and that financial matters alone will engage its attention. Prominent among this class is Gen. Wheeler, of Alabama. "I see no reason," said Gen. Wheeler, talking upon this matter, "why the country should be bur? dened by a long and tiresome session of Congress, with its attendant debates and set speeches, The President has called them together by reason of the gravity of the money question, and that alone. Tbe people have tested the virtue of the silver purchasing act, and now they should be given tbe opportunity to ob? serve tbe working of its repeal. There are numerous members of Congress who believe it would be wise for Congress, as soon as it organizes, to pass a resolution giving the President power to suspend the purchase act or deal with it as he may deem best. Congress could then adjourn at once, the relief demanded by the people having been granted. Then, when Congress convened in regular ses? sion in December, the financial question could be dealt with intelligably and with deliberation, and in the light of the re suit of four months' woik under the pol? icy the President might under resolution inaugurate." Speaking of the President's action in calling tbe extra'session, Assistant Sec? retary Sims, of Mississippi, acting Secre? tary of the Interior Department, said: "There can be no doubt of tbe wisdom of the President's action, Even the silver men breathe freer, with his firm hand on tbe throttle, and contemplate the wreok of their hopes for higher priced silver which has recently occurred. The people have confidence that Congress will meet the emergency with the repeal of the Sherman law. In the South, dur? ing tho past six mouths, there has been quite a revolution in public sentiment touching the'frep coinage of silver, and I think that our congress will give expres? sion to thisi'change by following the President's lead, f dq not doubt that the financial situation will be improved somewhat by tho more expectation of the repeal of the Sherman law, and what Jmblic confidence shall again find a firm boting when it shall be swept from the statute bookn," Atlanta, Qa., July 1.?Hon. N. C. Blanchard, of Louisiana, ohalrman of the House committee on rivers and har? bors, passed through Atlanta this morn? ing on his return home from Wash? ington. Being asked his views concern? ing the call for the extra session and the probable repeal of the Sherman act, he unhesitatingly approved of the Presi? dent's call for tbe assembling of Con-1 gress. Of tho Sherman act, be said: "That measure was enacted by a Republi? can Congress, the House presided over by Hoed as Speaker, and was voted against by every pemoerat |n the lower House, including myself, We knew that I it was a make-shift, and that it was framed by a hand hostile to silver. Sub? sequent event? have justified the opposi? tion which this biU encountered from silver advocates in Congress. J favor its repeal, but think that there should be a substitute adopted in lieu of it, which will recognize the principle of bimetallism in some effective form, and which carries out the pledge made in the last National Democratic platform for the repeal of tbe 10 per cent, tax upon the note issue of State banks, On these lines, I think, the repeal or tbe Sherman act will be a matter of easy accomplish? ment," Indianapolis, Ind., July 1,?Secretary Gresham is at the Bates House to-day. He has been visiting his mother in Har? rison county, and stopped over here to boo a few of his friends. It was the first time he had been in Indianapolis since he became a member of President Cleveland's cabinet, and his old associ? ates give him a cordial welcome, "I have not seen the newspapers for a couple of days until this morning," said Secretary Gresham, and I don't know just what has been going on." ' "Have you seen that the President baa called Congress to meet in extra session on August 7?" "Yes, I have just noted that In the morning papers, and I am very glad, in? deed, that lie has done so. I believe there was a general demand for the meeting of Congress earlier than Sep? tember, and tho call, I think, will do much toward allaying tho doubts that exist as to the outcome of tho financial conditions." "Do you think Congress will repeal the Sherman act?" "I certainly believe it will. I will say, too, that two weeks ago, Congress wonld not have repealed the act. I know where? of I speak when I say that." Secretary Gresbam refused to discuss the other questions that were suggested to him. A Race for a Bride. Atlanta, Ga., June 28.?A romantic story of a race for a bride comes well authenticated from Paulding County. Miss Annie Story, daughter of Col. H. F. Story, one of the most promiusnt men in tbe county, bad many admirers. She became engaged to two, aud bad not decided which she would marry on the day set lor tbe weddiog. Andrew McBrayer and David Govan were the young men to whom she had given consent to marry, it being under? stood by ber parents that young Mc? Brayer, whom they most favored, would bo the groom, he being wealthy and of an influential aud prosperous family. Miss Annie really loved young Govan, who was poor, but handsome, and al? together a very manly young man of respectable parentage. Miss Story announced that she had determined to wed the winner of a race for tbe license, which she proposed to the young men, they agreeing to carry out her proposition and to abide tbe remit of their race. They were to start at York town and go a distance of several miles to Dalias after tbe license and return to the home of the young lady, and immediately she would become the bride of the first to place the license in the bands of tbe minister, who, with the bride, awaited their return. The rich young man had the fleetest horse and was rapidly leaving his rival behind in the race, but the poor young man had his wits about him, and by using a cut-off by-road won the race and carried off tbe willing prize.

Some Interestiug- Facts From Lebanon. Mr. Editor: Will you allow us space in your columns to state a few facts as tbey occur to us ? Tbe first item in order, and tbe one up? permost in our minds, lu the closing exer? cises of Prof. Holland's school?the Leba? non High School. As was announced through yours and other columns, this took place on the evening of the 21st nit. Long before night the people began to gather from all quarters, and soon the spa? cious school rooms were crowded to their utmost seating capacity. Seats had been arranged for 400 persons, but we beard a number of men of good judgment SBy that not more than half of the people were iu the hou.se. Every door and window was filled with anxious eye* to witness the proceedings. A convenient and sub? stantial stage bad been arranged in the house. When tbe hour of 8 arrived, a tap of the bell announced tbe time of busi? ness. Tbe exercises were opened by a very earnest and appropriate prayer from our esteemed and efficient School Coiu l-.ssioner Russell. We will not attempt to give in detail tbe programme, as it would require too much of your time and space ; bui I will venture to make this broad as? sertion : that there is not a school in the County that can surpass the performances, under tbe circumstances, which were any? thing but favorable. You would have been amazed to have seen the ease which characterized the very small children in the rendering of their parts. Tbey j-poke without intimidation and lond enough to be beard all over tbe house. The recita? tions and dialogues of the more advanced and older pupils were grandly delivered and acted. The pieces were interspersed with appropriate music?instrumental and vocal. Iu spite of the confusion produced by tbe beat, and then a small storm, which ran the school from the temporary ante room, tbe occasion was a grand suc? cess. Not even a mistake or blunder was committed. It did not require the eye of a well-trained elocutionist, or that of an expert stage actor to see that those pupils bad been in the hands of teachers who know well how to instruct and drill. In the person of Prof. Holland we will find, as nearly as in any man, all that is re? quired to constitute the ideal man. He is a thoroughly consecrated man and worker anywhere you put him, in Church, Sun? day School, school room, or community. We love him as a teacher, and he loves us as patrons, &o. So long, Mr. Editor, as this Btate of affairs exist, you know there will be no dissolutions. His assistant, Miss Roy Nance, is thoroughly in sympa? thy with his mode of teaching, and ren? ders him valuable service. She is quite a talented lady. Her proficiency does not stop with her high literary attainments; she is an expert musician, and has been teaching a class entirely to tbe satisfaction of our people during this term of school. We bespeak for these persons a larger and better school during the year 1894, than any previous year. ' At the olose of the exercises tbe following resolutions were offered by O. W. Casey, and were unani? mously endorsed and adopted by tbe pa? trons : Resolved, That the congratulations and profound gratitude of the entire commu? nity, and more especially the patrons of the Lebanon High School, are due to Prof. Holland and Miss Roy Nance for tbe efficient and faithful discbarge of their every duty as teachers. That their literary ability and qualifications as teachers can? not be over-estimated, and we freely en dorse their mode, manner and discipline in Bchool. Resolved, That in consideration of tbe above, we can do uo better than, to retain Prof. Holland and Miss Nance as teachers for tbe ensuing year of 1894. Ab regards our crops, I thiok our farm? ers should be congratulated on their almost victory. Tbey are playing havoc with tbe grass. At one time we could not see how they could ever kill it, but by work and perseverance they have nearly done bo. I see some of your correspon? dents are speaking so encouragingly of tbe crops, a fact that is not in accordance with our observations. It occurs to us, and we are more and more impressed with the truth every day, that cotton 1b remarkably small. The only part of the crop that we can see at all flattering or promising is that of the upland corn. That which has been well cultivated is fine, but a large amount of the corn has been too long without work, as a result of the wet weather. So if we are not very prudent, we will seriously injure the crop in getting away the grass and weeds. The low lands are almost failures. Tbey suf? fered severely from the wet weather and want of work. Yet, if the weather should now continue dry, and they are worked out, there would be a great outcome. Think we should not despair of them yet. Tbe wheat orop is better than that of the average year, nut tbe oat orop is short. On account of the hard winter they were badly killed, and stood very thin on tbe ground. Onr small grain crops are harvested and almost threshed. Messrs. A. Q Smith and P. H. Brown, two of our most upright and substantial farmers, are in our midut with thoir excellent pew machinery. They are full of energy, and expedite business in a way that pleases us all, Tbe health of the community never was better, indeed, cannot be, for there is not a sick person in the community. If things continue thus, the doctors will have to look out for another calling. The Sunday School Institute meets with us at Lebanon on tbe llth and 12th of July. We are anticipating a good time. Ample preparation is being made for en? tertaining tbe Institute, and we hope there will be a large attendance. Neighbor. Needle's Newell News.

Mr. Freeman, of Furman Univer sity, preached one of the beat sarnions that 1 have heard in many a day.

Several of our hoys have got the bicycle fever, but are minus the wheels. Do you reckon that there is any danger Qf a re? lapse ? Qne of oqr young men, who looks phi? losophically occasionally, asserts (hat the reason why ladies' teeth decay sooner than gentlemen's is because cf the friction of tbe tongue and the sweetness of the lips. From a sermon delivered by tbe Bey. Sam. P. Jones, at Jackson, Tenn., last week we clip the following ' gems:" "The United States Government ia 1b copart? nership with every distillery to seod the souls of men to damnation. Ninety gents on every gallon of the cussed stuff goes into the Treasury of tbe United States. This country is In league with hell, and in co partnership with the Devil, X believe old John A, Murrell and Rube Burrows were gentlemen and scholars beside saloon keepers. I believe that if tbe Devil was President of tbe United States and there was no whiskey in America, he would go back to hell in three weeks?wouldn't run the country without whiskey. Any preaober in this audience can tuck his tail and run, but I am going to pat my chin over the moon and my tail over a star, yes, I am, I'll never run. I won't pray for a saloon-keeper. I had as soon pray for a man in hell as a saloon-keeper." Sam is an all-around daisy, but we would not feel safe in rushing blm in on the "reform movement" of this State at present, if he does nut his chin over the moon end his tail ovev a atar, No, no, we wouldn't feel a bit safe, The -'reform movement" is composed of tbe "wool-bat and one-gall us boys," and their leader (Gov. Tillman) is boss of the South Carolina Dispensary, one of tbe largest saloons in the country. We do not doubt for a moment but what (.here are niep engaged in the liquor busi? ness whose souls are as far from hell as Sam's is. He seems to be a rip snorter and a fire spitter, Had be heen over at the garden of Eden he would havo dug up and thrown out that curaed tree. I would not oross the street to hear a man preach who pretends to know more about run? ning tho world than God himself. Neu Needle. In aud Around Piedmont. We have at last got through with our grass, and have got to where we can, by close work, keep even with our work. Crops are good, and, as a general thing, are in good condition. Another week or two will put us through, and then we will be ready for the much needed rest and re? creation and a plonic occasionally. Death has again visited our community.
