K-?*<Wenave tbe proud satisfaction of an uptmcing to oof readers that this number ? of the taTBiXiOENCBE is iBsued from a press In our-office run by electricity, and that hereafter we expect to use this power in the publication of our paper. Can any : of our contemporaries in the State or in ; the South say as much? This power Is home Companyf the An -?? derson Water, Light A Power Company, that owns and controls the water and ;ht systems of onr little city. mber this Company conclud SoTBJtiM a small crater-power, known High Shoals, on Rocky River, about 0 miles distant, for he generation of (ifty with which to run their water mpSjto rarnish.electiiclty for the city, power adapted to light machinery ftmlill' industries. Heretofore then: has used-steam power to drive elr pumps'and dy nan os, and it was to the cost of their ooal-bllls, andUo onstrata the practicability of elee ?ty for lighting and power purposes, en transmitted from a distance, that water-power was resorted to and voloped. It has been famishing lights our city for a month or more, and or four small motors are now in , sufficient to demonstrate the coess oi the application of tho power, 1 to open the way for the establish then t our midst of small industries, ? bw is the time and here Is the place set up such industries. They will nothing to do but to put up their l?hery, buy a motor, attach the and lo! the power they want is at and at work. We understand that the Company is . prepared to furnish about 175 horse? power, not more than one-third of which will, be required to work; their water pump, and that will perhaps be applied in the night time, wh9n it will not be needed for other machinery. So that the Company will be in a position to supply or furnish the entire complement of their " ? in the day-time to such indnstries see fit to adopt and use It, and can if it is necessary. '? feel very proud x> be able to boast having the pioneer Comp/ .y in the or indeed in the South, as we are ed, to. demon* tr?te the praotica of electric power by what is known long distance transmission system; hope that our contemporaries will e due notice of the fact and give to us due meed of praiss. I Weiake particular pleasure In calling the attention of the News and 'Courier, that dubbed ua "TheElectrio City," to our element in this respect, aim "to re md it that hero Is Another step in that us trial progress 1 tj the State in which It has become ^he acknowledged cham? pion and exponent ' '? Wb have the power, now let the small ustries come on and utilize it. Any that- wants from 1 up to 175 power can be accommodated. We bqnld prefer, however, to see it distribu jd in small parcels smong many small Industries, rather than, see it all absorbed one or two. The Company controls another and larger water-power on Seneca |Bm& nine miles distant, that can fur? nish any where from {{,000 to 7,000 fcorse ;-pp^er whenever the larger industries will take hold. It has got its hand in now, and would be glad to expand and enlarge its Operationu if the occasion re? quires, say for instance, if some of those ^. snib.ulatory New England cotton mills will come and locate here. 'We have the .cotton, the climate, the labor, and can ^ . fnrnlah the power if they will but come. W'ecannpt conclude this editorial notice 2^^thontgiving the meed'of praise where ~ it justly belongs. Mi. William 0. Whit ^ nsr, onr fellow-iownsman, Civil and Electrical Engineer, who projected and ~^huilt bur combined water anil light sys? tem and is its General Manager, Is enti? tled to the credit of conceiving, planning and constructing the present power plant S He is one of those enterprising, progres? sive young" men who believss in keeping -pace with ucience in its prac i.. tical application to the mechanic, and use fal arts, and neither filters at difficulties v nor is held back by the timid. In the execution of this enterprise he has been faithfully and efficiently aided by Mr. Roubon LoDff, a young, man and .^^nr^U^engiueer of fine judgment, who has, as manager of machinery, beenldon ||||fcmed with the plant from * is inception ; x-f and by Mr. J. L. Mfiuldin, its Superin? tendent, who is an enthusiastic believer in the possibilities of electricity. He has -also had to the fullest extent tho confl? uence and encouragement of the stock? holders in designing and constructing T- this work. Nothing is now wanting, we feel assured, to makii it a success except ,- the-industries to take up the power. ?- mm ?/ mm.-' ' , Gen.' Watts is pushing the matter of _ the proposed State encampment of the % State militia force. He says he has de-j '. elded that the encampment shall be held ~ daring the month of July and finds that Wgflil the troops are he artily in favor of it. It is. now simply a question as to what Bjfety or town will oflar the best induce? ments to secure the encampment. He wants to hear from all points desiring to :;y;'compete before he decides, upon the place !^;;for the encampment;. We suggest that /--our people make an effort to bring the . encampment to Anderson. Jn another column we publish a short r; communication from President E. B. ? Craighead, of Clemsc u College, in refer ^anaSto holding Farmers' Institutes this -?<;"summer." He proposes to have one in eaeh Congressional District ot tho State. This la a step in the right direction, and - if tho farmers will show sufficient inter ! eat in the matter they can make it a big . . success, and be gre&tly benefited. The /^'TJurd Congressiomd District, should have an Institute, and it should be held v. jn Anderson. What say our farmers ? *.mm * m? ,\: Qoj. Gvans, who recently attended the \> Memphis Silver Convention, in an iuter .' view with the Columbia newspaper re? porters'! says: "The Convention at Mem . phis was one of the largest ever held in 1; tbe South and most enthusiastio. It was not composed of millionaires nor politi? cians, but of men whose faces showed that they earned their bread by the sweat of\ their brow" {italics ours.) This is cer? tainly the best joke of the season, and re? if minds us of the fish atorles that we often near and read of. **The free silver people would not vote '." for Christ if he was nominated on a gold "Q platform."?B. R. Tillman, of Sonth i Carolina, at the Memphis Convention. ; This is tlio language of a man v/ho will \ attempt to represent Sonth Carolina in ? the United States Senate for the next six I years. Not even hi "the days of good stealing," when John Patterson and Tom / Bobentson, sat in the United States Senate from South Carolina, were such blasphe .. moos words ever heard from the lips of | a public, official. The campaign of 139G is beginning very early. The Republican candidates are laying their wires and working day and night. New York is headquarters for them. The latest estimate of Egypt's cotton crop this year puts the Qgoroa at 1,000, 000 bales. These figures 1:0 suggestive, showing, as they do, how rapid is tho in? crease of the production of cotton in that country. Southern farmers should take notice. ._ Tlie New York Chronicle claims that there is a redaction of about 15 per cent, in. the cotton acreage. South Carolina's decrease is put down at 10 per cent. The crop is late. The weather up to the last week of May was unfavorable. The acreage stands 17,169,863, against 20,107,247 last year. _ We are indebted to President Woodrow for a copy of the catalogue of the South Carolina College for the session of 1894 85. It is handsomely gotten up, and con? tains some fine illustrations of the College buildings and campus. The catalogue ..shows for the past session an enrolled Scholarship of 160. Southern Trade for June gives a list of some 200 new industrial enterprises in the South. It includes 29 cotton mills at so many different points; also 13 oil mills, 9 electrio light plants, 17 saw and planing mills, 9 canning factories and 22 mines and quarries. The journal's crop and I trade reports from the different States of j the South are nearly all favorable. An Appeal From the Forty. Columbia, S. C? June 13.?The Execu? tive Committee of the "forty," which was called to meethere to-night, adjourned at 1 o'clock. There were present at the ses? sion the following commltteemen: Re? formers, J. E. Ellorbe, Marion; D. E. ? Finley, York; T. J. K irkland. Kershaw ; T. P. Mitchell, Fairfield; Louis Appelt, Clarendon; J. W. Haniel, Lancaster. Conservatives, C. E. Spencer, York; Frank H. Weston, Riehlsnd ; Geo. John atone, Newberry; J. W. Ferguson, Lau rens; B. H. Boy kin, Camden; T. H. Ketchin, Fairfield; Henry B. Richard? son, Clarendon; Capt Henry T. Thomp? son, Darlington. This* is the representation based upon an .organization in every County in the State except Charleston. Altogether four? teen committeemen out of sixty-eight were present, and it wan said that there was no need for delegates from such Counties as had already acted. The working committee announced at the outset that it would give the press what It had to say to the people, and the newspaper men waited patiently. At the adjournment the committee gave out the following address, which was announced to embrace all that was intended to ne made public The address reads: To the White Voters of South Carolina: The working committee, constituted by authority of the conference of Reformers and Conservatives which met in Colum? bia on the 27th March last, commonly known as the committee of the forty, in view of the grave conditions still con? fronting the people of this State, deem it proper and expedient to make some recommendations in further? ance of the well known objects and pur? poses of its organization. We desire to call attention again to the cardinal princi? ple set forth in the platform adopted by that Convention, namely, the mainte? nance of white supremacy "by fair and constitutional methods." and to earnestly, urge upon every patriotio sbnof South Carolina, without regard to political fac? tion, the importance in this crisis of con? tributing everything in his power to the attainment of that end. To those who have labored for a reunited Democracy, and for the restoration of peace and unity among the white people of the State it is a source of gratification that a number of counties have already taken such action in regard to the election of delegates to the Constitutional Convention as will obviate all friction among the people of our race and will insure the selection of men whose undoubted qualifications and lofty patriotism eminently fit them for the important duties they will be called upon to discharge. We cannot appeal too strongly to those Counties which have not yet acted in this matter - to take immediately some steps that will place them in line with this movement, and will render it general"" through? out the State. The practical method of solving the problem is after all one that every County must settle for itself. The time for action is very short The crisis that confronts us, it goes without saying, is imminent. We believe the white vot? ers of South Carolina fully realize this. It la for them to act and act now.; % Thomas J. Kirkland, Chairman, Francis H. Weston, Secretary. When a committee man was asked as to whether any action was taken in refer? ence to the primary he said that the ad? dress explained that and that the attitude of the forty to the primary ought to be too well known to be explained. Reports were received from the various Counties. They are said to be encouraging.. The meeting passed off pleasantly and harmoniously.?Sped a I to News and Cou? rier. Propose to Emigrate. Columbia, S. C , June 11.?The news of the reversal of Judgs GofFs decision on the registration laws came to the people of Columbia as a shook, exhilera ting to the mass of white people, but ter? ribly depressing In its effects upon the negroes and very chilling to their white allies. Attorney General Barber was probably the most delighted matt in the city. He was the recipientcf many congratulation?!, but would nave nothing farther to say than that he was highly gratified. The other members of the administration in the city were exuberant and they all seem to feel that a great viotory has been gained for the State. Governor Evans is in Memphis, so no expression of opinion could be had from him. The negro leaders arj very muoh dis? tressed over the mattor. Few of them will' have muoh to say. Rev. E. H. Coll;, pastor of the largest colored church in the city, says he will advise a wholesale emigration. Rev. W. I>. Chappell, chair? man of tne Ministerial Union, which has been controlling the policy of the negroes for some time, says that as for himself, he will leave the State and that he does not see how the negro race can afford to risk its chances of prosperity in South I Carolina with the present lights before it He will advocate emigration to Rome cf the other Southern States. He believes the South, outside of South Carolina, to be the best place for the negro. Rev. Daniels, another negro leader, agrees with Rev. Chappell. A race Convention to consider the con? dition of the negro race in the crisis that is upon them has been called for July 10th. The negroes throughout the Stats have been called upon to meet on July 4th at their several county seats in mass meeting to send delegates to this conven? tion. Dr. Clayton, the most prominent white republican in the city, Bays that he takes the decision as a practical dis franchisement of the negro race and that their recourse now is to leave the State. ! Bryan Would Bolt. Jackson, Miss., June 11.?Congress? man Bryan of Nebraska, being en routs from New Orleans, where he spoke last night, to Memphis, where he will attend the bimetallio Convention to-morrow, stopped off here and addressed a large au? dience. While the audience was composed largely of Jaoksonltes, distinguished citi? zens from all neighboring towns were present. He was introduced by Chair? man Williamson of the Bimetallio League, and made about the same speech as at New Orleans. Toward the close Mr. Bryan was asked what he wonld do in case the next Dem? ocratic Convention deolared for the gold standard. He dodged the question in every way possible by quoting what Mr. Whitney said would happen if the silver standard was adopted. Bryan was press? ed for an answer to the question, and squirmed by exclaiming, in tragic style, that he was born and raised a Democrat, nursed by a Democratic mother and learned Demooraoy from his father. When he was nominated for the Senate the administration men had bolted the meeting and put out a Republican to defeat him. He did not believe that a gold plank would be inserted in the Democratic platform. He was as certain that it would not, as he was that he was .standing there. This was no answer to the question, and it was again pat: "Will you vote the Democratic ticket if a gold plank is inserted therein ?" The excitement was intense. Five hundred men were on their feet, yelling at Bryan to answer, and he did, saying: "If the Democratic party adopts the single gold standard, I will not vote for it if I die in my tracks." ? A convict in the Kansas State pen? itentiary, who has served six years of a life sentence for murder, petitioned the Governor a few days ago to sign his death warrant and order that he be executed as soon as possible, saying he preferred to be hanged at once rather than suffer im? prisonment, with no hope of release, for what promised to be a long life. The Democrats of Oconee. Walhalla, .Tn.-.-j J5.?Tho Democratic county executive committee mot at the Court Ilouae to-day and took action looking to a division of delegates to the Constitutional Convention. Oconee is entitled to three delegates. The com? mittee took important action in this re? spect. After considerable discussion by members of the committee and conferring together of members of both factions the following resolutions were adopted: "Whereas, we fully recognize the.im portance of having the approaching Con? stitutional Convention composed of our very best, wisest, moat broad, liberal minded and patriotic men, statesmen rather than politicians, and realizing that agitation by political factions does not always or usually place such men at tue front: Resolved, That we heartily concur in the purpose of the State exeoutive com? mittee orderingageneral primary election for the State to be so conducted as to se? cure Democratic nominees selected upon their merits and upon non-factional lines so far as possible. Resolved, further, that we recotrnize as an existing fact that the bitter partisan spirit that nas pervaded our politics for some time past has engendered much mutual distrust of each other between the two leading factions of the white people in our State, and in order to induce all of them to come together and participate and aid in the selection of the very best men in said primary, with the full assurance to each faction that the other will treat it fairly, we herebv make and promulgate the following rule3 to govern said pri? mary. First. This committee shall in good faith carry out the rules made by the State committee to equally divide the managers of election and clerk between the two faotions. Second. The candidates who run for nomination as delegates to the Constitu? tional Convention shall in filing the pledge required by the State committee declare to what faction they belong. Third. The person who receives the highest number of votes of all the candi? dates running, whether Reformer or Conservative, shall be declared as one of the nominees. The Reformer receiving the highest number of votes of all the candidates who havo declared themselves as belonging to the Reform faction shall also be declared one of the nominees. The Conservative who receives the high? est number of votes of ali the candidates who have declared themselves to be Con? servatives shall be declared as one of the nominees. In case the nominee first provided for happens to be declared Re? former or Conservative,- then the next highest Reformer or Conservative shall be also declared the nominee of that fac? tion, so that if the person who is declared nominated because he has received the highest number of votes of all should be a Conservative, then there will be two of the nominees Conservatives, and if he should be a Reformer then two of the nominees shall be Reformers. Tillman of Sooth Carolina. S Memphis, Tenn., June 12.?There may be twelve hundred delegates in attendance at the free silver blow out, though yes? terday friends of the movement claimed there would be twenty-five hundred. Every mothers' son of them is a politi? cian. Beginning with Stewart, of Ne? braska, and ending with John H. Mc? Dowell, of Tennessee, every political creed is represented. The convention was called to order promptly at 2 p.m. by W. N. Brown, president of the bime? tallic league of Memphis, and Col. Casey Young, of Memphis, delivered an address of welcome. Senator Turpie, of Indiana, was made permanent chairman and de? livered an address. There is danger of the wild and woolly element getting the reins. Ben Till man is most outspoken'. He says the free silver people would not vote for Christ if he was nominated on a gold platform. Governor Warner is here yelling for the free silver people to get together, and while he will not say so, he is working for a separate free silver party. Bryan is here nursing a boom. There are a dozen senators present. Bate and a few others do not fancy being cheek and fowl with Marion Butler, John Henry McDowell and' others of their ilk. There maybe trouble if the steering committee is not exceedingly careful for there are lots of jarring elements in the make up of the convention. This Case Not Affected. Attorney General Barber was the first man in Columbia to hear of the decision of the United States Circuit Court of Ap Seals' action in reversing the decision of udge Goff in the Mills' registration appeal case, and in a. short time being {tested on the newspaper bulletin boards, t was known all over the city and was' the sole topic of discussion. The friends of the administration were very naturally rejoiced and did not hesitate to so express themselves on ail sides. Tho negroes who read the bulletins seemed to be very much downcast. -Nearly everyone seem? ed to be of the opinion that the decision of the Court affected all the registration oases now pending. Jnst about the time that the news reached the city Mr. J. F. J. Ca Id well arrived in the city, coming from New berry en route to Lexington. Ho is the leading counsel in the other case. A representative cf the State at once called upon him and asked him what he had to say about the decision, and how it affeoted his case. Here is what he had to say: "The only definite intelligence we have is that Jndge Golfs injunction against the Supervisor of registration for Rich land County has been dissolved by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. We can not ascertain the ratio decidendi ?the real ground of the decision?until we have the opinion of the Court in full. It is hardly worth while to speculate in the meantime about the points involved In the controversy, or about the particu? lar issues determined by that Court. It may bo that the Court holds that the Courts of the United States have-no au? thority to interfere in contentions be? tween a State government and the citi? zens of that State in the absence of ex press race discriminations or proven personal injuries. It may be that the Court holds the proceeding premature. It may be that the Court holds that every injured citizen must apply for his own peculiar remedy?a mandamus, for in? stance; and that every man of fifty thousand or a hundred thousand excluded citizens of South Carolina must go into Court and ask for an order to be regis? tered. We cannot tell. "But this much is very clear, as a mat? ter of pleading and practice, that Court could decide nothing beyond the issue before it. The issue was, whether or not the Supervisor of Richland County should be allowed to proceed with the regiatra Won of voters in that County. There was no prayer in the bill for the registration of any voters. There was no prayer that unregistered voters should be allowed to vote. There was no prayer for injunction against the holding of elections for dele? gates to the proposed Constitutional Con? vention, or for an injunction against the holding of such a Convention. The whole charge in the suit was, that the registration laws of the State are contrary to the Constitution of this State and con? trary to the Constitution of the United States. It is said that no race discrimina? tion was alleged, and the only request made of the Court was that a specified Supervisor should be forbidden to pro? ceed in registering voters under the Act of 1894. Everything outside of that prayer is obiter dictum. "However much we may respeotthe opinion of the Chief Justice, or that of his associates, on general theories or principles, the decision of the Court has no weight, as a matter of law, beyond the one issue submitted to the Court. "The suit of Pratt and Price against John Gary Evans, Governor of South Carolina, and others, brought by Dr. Pope and myself, is by no means con? cluded by any judgment, opinion or rea? soning which may have been promulga? ted by the Circuit Court of Appeals. Our case looks, not to the closing of registra? tion, but to the prevention of the Con ven'ion. Its whole trend is to that point. The amendment making the Newberry Supervisor a party and praying the stay? ing of his operations was a mere incident. Our bill is not affected by any removal of the restraint heretofore imposed on that Supervisor. "We can move, and you will see us move before long, for the prevention of the outrage commonly known as tho Constitutional Convention of South Car? olina. The Constitution of the United States is still a potent factor : the Consti? tution of South Carolina is not yet dead: the people of South Carolina have rights which they may assert with hope of suo cess." Dr. V. P. Clayton, a leading white Re? publican, when asked about the decision, said: "I am not surprised at the decision. Under the construction of the Court of Appeals the negro is virtually disfran? chised in the State. "I have always felt that outside influ? ence irom whatever source could not make the negro a successful political fac? tor. His rights at the ballot box can be secured only through the efforts of the white people in whose midst he lives. "I think the one defense left the negro is wholesale emigration. "I expect the Constitutional Convention to disfranchise the negroes en masse as a race."? Columbia State, June 12. Which Shall it Be t Dear Mm Editor: The citizens of this community are brought face to face with an issue vital to our professions of Chris? tianity. It is high time that we were settling tho question as to whether or not religious principles are to govern us. If so, let every Christian man and woman 808 to it that their hearty support is given to the ordinance recently passed by our Council, prohibiting secular work on the Sabbath. If not, the sooner we under? stand that to become a Christian forfeits all rights of citizenship, then the better for all concerned. Were we living under an absolute mon? archy, we would not be responsible for the laws by which we are governed, but in a land whero the government is "of the people, for the people, by the people," every man ia a lawmaker to tho extent of his ballot and influence, and to that ex? tent is he responsible for the laws by which he and his fellow-citizens are con? trolled. We cannot shake off this respon? sibility. The voters have tha power of saying what shall be tbe character of the laws under which they live, and a fearful power it is. All tbe acts of men are either right or wrong. In this country we profess to have but one standard of right, and that standard is not the opinion of the public, neither the desires of any man or set of men, but it is tbe Word of God. This Word strictly forbids the prosecution of secular business on the Sabbath day. Our laws and our conduct alike must conform to this standard if we would have the Divine approval. Again, what is right for one is equally so for another. Now it is either right or wrong to traffic in any ordinary business on the Sabbath?leaving out the questions of mercy and emergency. If it be right for a newsdealer to sell his papers on Sun? day, then tho hardware dealer has tbe same right to open up bia place of busi? ness and sell plows and maohinery. If it be right for the livery stable to run its business seven days in the week, it is also right for the grocery man to do the same thing. If it be right for barber shops and soda founts to remain open on Sunday, then let the dry goods stores be thrown open also, and let the Square wear tbe same aspect on Sunday that it does on the other six days of the week. Let us not do things by halves! The issue is brought squarely before ns. Our little city is to be governed according to God or according to the Devil. Right must rule, or wrong run rampant over every , principle of righteousness. It rests with the Christian people of our city to say which it shall be. Our Couneilmen have set the pace. Shall we sustain them? or shall we re? mand them to the rear and let godl essness rua riot? Both the law of God and of tbe State make provision for works of necessity arid mercy on the Sabbath. Does any one suppose our Council possessed of bo little sense as to undertake by their ordi? nance to set aside the Statute of the State and the law of God ? Why, then, is all this ado made about some things that may be necessary on tbe Sabbath, unless it be to becloud the issue and attract the attention of tbe people away from things covered by the law to things whioh are not even hinted at ? The only objection I have to the ordi? nance is, that it isn't quite strong enough, but it is vastly better than none. I Bay 'all honor to our worthy Council,' and I call on every Christian in the oity to stand by them in the strict enforcement of the law. Yours sincerely, G. P. Watson. Teney Creek Notes. Tbe farmers are getting on nicely with their crops. Nearly all of them have their cotton thinned out and it 1b looking real nice. A little longer for the men to hurry, the good wife up to get early breakfast and dinner on time, and then all can be at leisure. Ob! what a happy time it will be when the work is over and tbe apples, peaehes and watermelons are ripe and the crops are all looking fine. We all look forward to laying-by time with no little pleasure.

EniTor.o Intelligencer : At the last meeting of the board of trustees of the Clemson Agricultural College I was re S.ested to notify the firmers at large of e willingness of the board to co-operate with them in the work of holding far? mers' institutes, at least one in each Con? gressional district. The trustees will send professors of the college, and, when? ever possible, expert farmers, to talk upon snoh subjects as may be of special interest to the farmers in whose neigh? borhood the institute may be held. To make such institutes profitable it will be necessary for the farmers to attend and to join in discussions that may from time to time arise. Such an institute should be an agricultural school for the ordinary farmer, and should be free from all red tape or formality. To farmers interested in tobacco raising I shall endeavor to get a successful tobacco grower to talk on that subject. To those interested in dairying and cheese making, I shall try to secure for them Prof. Hart or some other expert dairyman. In short, where farmers desire an Institute, I shall be pleased to co-operate with them in mak? ing it meet as far as possible their especial needs. As we shall be able to hold but one institute in each Congressional dis? trict, I shall be pleased to have letters from farmers suggesting the proper time and place for holding the same. It has been suggested that between the middle of July and the middle of September will be the most suitable time. All correspondence in regard to same should be addressed to President E. B. Craighead, Clemson College, S. C. Tho Discovery Saved his Lifo. Mr. Q. Caillonette, Druggist, Beavers ville, 111., says: "To Dr. King's New Dis? covery I owe my life. Was taken with La Grippe and tried all the physicians for miles about, but of no avail and was given up and told I could not live Having Dr. King's New Discovery in my store I sent for a bottle and began its use, and from the first dose began to get better, and after using three bottles was up and about again. It is worth its weight in gold. We won't keep store or bouse without it." Get a free trial at Hill Bros. Drug Store. Can for Headache. As a remedy for all forms of Headache Electric Bitters has proved to be the very best. It effects a permanent cure, and the most dreaded habitual sick headaches yield to its influence. We urge all who are afflicted to procure a bottle, and give this remedy a fair trial. In cases of ha? bitual constipation Electric Bitters cures by giving the needed tone to the bowels, and few cases long resist the use of this medicine. Try it once. Large bottles only Fifty cents at Hill Bros. Drug Store Reduced Colton Area. Tbo farmers of tho Smtb, lirod of rais? ing cot toil for fuu or live cents, which is? about the same thing, have determined to | raise the price by reducing the acreage of i that product which was once king. Those of Louisiana announce a reduction in acreage of 25 per cent. It is claimed that the same influences at work in Louisiana are at work in many other ootton-growing States. The influence of this reduction of at least one-fourth in the annual crop of the cotton belt is bound to be far reaching. The area not planted in cotton will be employed for raising corn and other food stuffs which many of the Southern planters have hitherto pur? chased from the North. Northern meth? ods of farming in the South are bound to contribute to the wealth oi that section. As the South becomes independent of all Northern food supplies, wheat, there will have to be another readjustment of mar? kets. With a soil rich in resources and climatic advantages unexcelled, the South is likely to become an exporter of many of the products which she has hitherto imported, The fact is that Georgia and Alabama have been already exporting corn, as the destitute inhabitants of Ne- j braska can testify.?Philadelphia Item. He Thought the Gun was Empty. Chattanooga, Tenn., June 12.?Til den McKinley, a iarmer'a boy of eighteen years, accidentally discharged a pistol, sending a ball into the neok of Roxie Echols, the nine-}ear-old cbild of a neighbor, producing instant death. The accident occurred last night on Mission Ridge at the house of Mrs. Amy Echols, where McKinley had been sent on an errand. The boy was committed to jail to-day without bail, charged with murder, but stoutly declares he thought the gun was empty. ? How's this for a comic opera plot? It is the story of a romantic marriage in Berlin, the details of which are worth relating. A young prince, not royal, but still a nobleman, fell in love two years ago with a beautiful young artist who had her studio in the northwest of the city. He made up his mind, on finding his love returned, to marry her, and to satisfy the demands of his rank, for the young girl was of an humble family, the following plan was arranged and carried out by the young couple. A come-down count in Hungary, of good and ancient lineage, was unearthed, who was only too willing to accept a large sum of mon? ey down in payment of what was requir? ed. He was to marry the lady, giving his word of honor to renounce all marital claims and be divorced very speedily. This was all carried ont to the letter. They were married in Berlin and the newly-wedded countess eloped with the prince. A divorce was applied for and obtained, and Prince and Princess X are at this moment at Nice on a blissful honeymoon.
