THE electe10 OUT. ? , We have the proud satisfaction of an? nouncing to ouf readers that this number I of the IsnriLiaaiOToa? is issued from a press In our office run by electricity, and :. that hereafter we expect to use this power In the publication of oar paper. Can any S of our contemporaries in the State or in /..'/?toe South say as much? This power Is furnished by a home Company* the An ; Water, Light d; Power Company, owns and consols the water and light aystems of our little city. ^Last/December this Company conclud? ed to utilize a small water-power, known . as High Shoals, on Rocky River, about - five miles distant,, for the generation of electricity with which to run their water . pomps, to rarnish .electricity for the city, and power adapted to light machinery ancV. small industries. Heretofore their it'. has used steam power to drive sir pumps and dynamos, and it was to the cost of the!:- coal-bills, an&to ibnstrate the practicability of elec ity Tor lighting and power purposes, ion transmitted from a distance, that water-power was resorted to and loped. It has been furnishing lights it city for a month or more, and or four small motors are now in Ion, sufficient ;o demonstrate the of'the application of the power, > open the way for tho establishment vour, midst of small industries. ' aw is the time and here is theplaos set up suoh industries. They will ;have nothing to do but to put up their machinery, buy a motor, attach the and lo t the power they want is at hand and at work. We understand thit the Company is prepared to furnish about 175 horse? power, not more than one-third of which . will be required to wors; their water pump, and-that will perhaps be applied in the night time, when it will not be needed for other mac?dnery. So that the Company will be In r. position to supply or furnish the entire complement of their power in tile day-timi to suoh industries i may see fit to adopt and use It, and can ictlf it is neces ary. 1 We feel very proud to be able to boast 5Di\^ying the piomer Company in the lot- indeed in tie South, as we are led, to demonstrate the praciica ? of electric powcu- by what is known long distance'transmission system; E we hope that our contemporaries will te due notice of th< fact and give to us due meed of praise, re take particular pleasure in calling ief attention of the News and Omri?*, \ dubbed us "The Electric City," to our lent in this respect, and to re f that here ie another step in that ?\|i?trialprogresslit the State in which Laa- become the Acknowledged cham . and exponent. 7e have the power, now let the small lustries come on tnd utilize It. Any that want) from 1 up to 175 horse-power can be nccommodated. We .should prefer, however, to see it distribu? ted in small parcels among many small industries, rather than see it all absorbed by^?heVr two. Tha Company controls ^another and larger water-power on Seneca ; . River* nine miles distant, that can fur-. ; nlsh anywhere from 3,000 to 7,000 horse ; .porter whenever the larger industries v will take hold. It has got its hand in ;? ? now, and would be glad to expand and ; enlarge its operatiofaif the occasion re r^ftifiires, say for instan ce, if some of those .-? ambulatory New England cotton mills will come and locate here.

Mr. William O. Whit ^ nar,v.our fellow-tovTisman, Civil and ^-?Elecir3^_Engta^, who projected and '^boJlt bur combined vaterand light sys '? ?] tern and is its Genend Manager, is enti? tled to the credit of conceiving, planning and conatrao?ng the present power plant. He Is one of those enterprising, progres? sive young' men who believes in ,v keeping; pace with science in its prac ;,, tical application to the mechanic and nse , fal arts, and neither Gaiters at difficulties . nor.Is held back by the timid. pi<;. In the execution of this enterprise he j* has been faithfully and efficiently aided \: by Mr. Reuben Long, a young man and ;^ pra^cal engineer of fine judgment, who t has, as manager of machinery, beenlden ^tifled with the plant from its inception; fand by Mr. J. L. Mrnldin, its Superin? tendent, who is an enthusiastic believer in the possibilities of electricity. He has ^gso had to the fulleist extent the confi? dence and encouragement of the stock? holders in designing and constructing r7 this work;; Nothing 3s now wanting, we feel assured, to mafco it a success except . .theindustries to take up the power. Gen.' Watts is pushing the matter of . the proposed State encampment of the t-. State militia force. He says he hasde '. ?ided that tho encampment shall be held ^ (during jthe month of July and finds that ; nil the troops are heartily in favor of it. ; It is. now simply a question as ;:o what city or town will offer the best /induce? ments to secure the encampment. He wants to hear from all points desiring to compete before he decides upon the place for the encampment. We suggest that ? 'our people make an effort to bring the ? encampment to Anderson. . Tji smother column we publish a short indication from President E. B. { ighead, of Clemson College, in refer ice'to holding Farmers' Institutes this ' summer. He proposes to have one in V each- Congressional District of the State. < This is a step in the right direction, and ? if the farmers will show sufficient inter * est In the matter they can make it a big ;'? success and be greatly benefited. The * Third Congressional District ohould :, have an Institute, and it should be held . in Anderson. What say our farmers ? ": ? Got. ?vans, who recently attended the ,. Memphis Silver Convention, in an inter 'view with the Columbia newspaper re-1 porterp^ says: "The Convention at Mem . phis was one of the largest ever held In ! . . the Sonth and most enthusiastic. It was not composed of millionaires ncrpoliti? cians, but of men whose faces showed that \~ffiey- earned their bread by the sweat of !?' their brow" {italics ours.) This is cer- ! . tainly the best joke of the season, and re? minds uu of the fish stories that we often * hear and read of. - **The free silver people would not vote .for Christ if he was nominated on a gold - platform."?B. R.. TlUman, of South Carolina, at the Memphis Convention. This is the language of a man who will attempt to represent South Carolina in the United States Senate for the next six years. Not even in "the days of good stealing," when John Patterson and Tom Bobenteon, satin the United States Senate from South Carolina, were such blasphe? mous words ever heard from the lips of | a public official. The campaign of 1896 is beginning very early. The Republican candidates are laying their wires and working day and night. JSew York is headquarters for them. The latest estimate of Egypt's cotton crop this year puts the Qjjaroa at 1,000, 000 bales. These figures are suggestive, showing, as they do, how rapid is tho in? crease of the production of cotton iu that country. Southern farmers should take notice. The New York Chronicle claims that there is a reduction of about 15 per cent, in tbe cotton acreage. South Carolina's decrease is pat down at 10 per cent. The crop la late. The weather up to the last week of May was unfavorable. The acreage stands 17,169,663, against 20,107,247 last year. -j . & ? m - We are indebted to President Woodrow for a copy of the catalogue of the South Carolina College for the session of 1894 9c>. 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 electric light plants, 17 saw and planing mills, 9 canning factories and 22 mines and quarries. The journal's crop and trade reports from the different States of 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 meetjiere to-night, adjourned at 1 o'clock. There were present at the ses? sion the following oommitteemen: Re? formers, J. E. Ellerbe, Marion; D. E. Finley, York; T. J. Kirkland, Kershaw; T. P. Mitchell, Fairfield ; Louis Appelt, Clarendon ; J. W. Ham el, Lancaster. Conservatives, C. E. Spencer, York; Frank H. Weston, Ricbland; Geo. John stone, Newberry; J. W. Ferguson, Lau rens: B. H. Boy kin, Camden; T. H. Ketchin, Fairflefd; Henry B. Richard? son, Clarendon ; Capt. Henry T. Thomp? son, Darlington. This' 1b the representation based upon an .organization in every County in the State except Charleston. Altogether four? teen committeemen ont of sixty-eight were present, and it was said that there was no need for delegates from such Counties as bad already acted. Tbe working committee announced at tbe outset that it would give tbe 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 be 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 recommendation j 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 sot 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 patriotic son of South Carolina, without regard to political fao 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 tbe white people of the State it is a source of gratification that a number of counties have already takon 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 upor to discbarge. 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 generalr 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 ia for them to act and act novr. Thomas J. Kirkland, Chairman, JTbancts H. Weston, Secretary. When a oommitteeman was asked as to whether any action was taken in refer? ence to the primary be said that the ad? dress explained that and that the attitude of the forty to the primary onght to be I too well known to be explained. Reports i were received from the various Counties, i They are said to be encouraging. The meeting passed off pleasantly and harmoniously.?Special to News and Cbu Propose to Emigrate. Columbia, S. C, Jane 11.?The news of the reversal of Judge GofPa decision on the registration laws came to the people of Columbia as a shock, exonera? 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 man in the city. He was thereolplentcf many congratulations, bat would havo 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 victory has been gained for the State. Governor Evans is in Memphis, so no expression of opinion could be had from him. The negro leaders are very muoh dis? tressed over tbe matter. Few of them will have muoh to say. Rev. E. H. Colt, pastor of the largest colored church in tbe city, says he will advise a wholesale emigration. Rev. W. D. Chappeli, chair? man of tne Ministerial Union, which has I 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 ohanoes of prosperity in South Carolina with the present lights before it. He will advocate emigration to some of the other Southern States. He believes the South, outside of South Carolina, to be the best place for the negro. He v. Daniels, another negro leader, agrees with Rev. Chappeli. 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 State 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, says that he takes the decision as a practical dis franohisement of the negro race and that their recourse now is to leave the State. Bryan Would Bolt. Jackson, Miss.. Jane 11.?Congress? man Bryan of Nebraska, being en route from New Orleans, where he spoke last night, to Memphis, where he will attend the bimetallic Convention to-morrow, stopped off here and addressed a large au? dience. While the audience was composed largely of Jaoksonites, 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 would do in case the next Dem? ocratic Convention declared for the gold standard. He dodged the question in every way possible by quoting what Mr. Whitney said would happen if tbe silver standard was adopted. Bryan was press? ed for an answer to the question, and squirmed by exclaiming, in tragic style, that ho was born and raised a Democrat, nursed by a Democratic mother and learned Democracy from his father. When he was nominated for the Senate the administration men had bolted the meeting and put oat a Republican to defeat him. He did not believe that a gold plank wonld 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 put: "Will you vote the Democratio 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 Democratio 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:.-d .5.?Tho Democratic county ex?c?iiive committee mot at the Court House to-day and took action looking to a division of delegates to the Constitutional Convention. Oconee is entitled to three delegates. The com mitteo took important action in this re? spect. After considerable discussion by members of the committee aud 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, most 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 the front: Resolved, That we heartily concur in the purpose of the State executive com? mittee ordering a general 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 recognize as an existing fact that the bitter partisan spirit that has pervaded our politics for some time past ha* engendered much mutual distrust of each otber 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 tbe other will treat it fairly, we hereby make and promulgate the following riile3 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 betweeu the two factions. Second. The candidates who run for nomination as delegates to the Constitu? tional Convention shall in filing the Sledge required by the State committee enlare 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 all 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 deslared 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 deolared 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. Tiilman of South 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 thcire would 1 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 Turple, 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 ia 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 fauoy being cheek and jowl with Marion Butler, John Henry McDowell and' others of their ilk. There may be trouble if the steering committee is not exceedingly careful lor 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 tbe Mills' registration appeal case, and in a, short time being posted on the newspaper bulletin boards, it 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 bo express themselves on all sides. The 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. Just about the time that the news reached the city Mr. J. F. J. Caldwell arrived in the city, coming from New berry en route to Lexington. He 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 affected his case. Here is what he had to say; "The only definite intelligence we havo is that Judge Goffs injunction against the Supervisor of registration for Rich land County has been dissolved by tho 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 abont tbe particu? lar issues determined by that Court. It may be 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 thut 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 muoh 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 prooeed with tbe xegistra tlon 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 inj unction against tbe 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 discrim Ina Uon 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 respeot the 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 tbe 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 tbe Circuit Court of Appeals. Our case looks, not to the closing of registra? tion, but to the prevention of the Con? vention. 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 the Constitutional Convention of South Car? olina. The Constitution of the United States is still a potent faotor: the Consti? tution of South Carolina is not yet dead: the people of South Carolina have rights which they may assert with hope of suc? 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 from whatever source could not make the negro a successful political fao? 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. **l expect the Constitutional Convention to disfranchise the negroes en masReas a race."?Columbia Slate, June 12. Which Shall it He I Dear Mr. 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 the question as to whethor or not religions principles are to govern us. If so, let every Christian man and woman soe 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 where the government is "of the people, for the people, by the people," every man is a lawmaker to the 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 the power of saying what shall be the character of the laws under which they live, and a fearful power it is. All the acts of men are either right or wrong. In this country we profess to have but one Btandard 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 the Word of God. This Word strietly 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 the hardware dealer has the same right to open up bis place of busi? ness und sell plows and machinery. If it be right for the livery stable to run *ts 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 the same aspect on Sunday that it does on the other six days of the week. Let us not do things by halves 1 The issue is brought squarely before us. Oar little city is to be governed according to God or according to the Devil. Right must rule, or wrong run rampant over every prinoiple of righteousness. It rests with the Christian people of our city to say which it shall be. Our Councilman have set the pace. Shall we sustain them ? or shall we re? mand them to the rear and letgodlessness run riot? Both the law of God and of the State make provision for works of necessity add 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 Borne things that may be necessary qn the Sabbatb, unless it be to becloud the issue and attract the attention of the people away from things covered by the law to things which 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 say 'all honor to our worthy Council,' and I call on every Christian in the city to stand by them in the strict enforcement of the law. Yours sincere! y, G. P. Watson. Teney Creek Notes. The farmers are getting on nicely with their crops. Nearly all of them have their cotton thinned out and it is looking real nice. A little longer for the men to hurry, the good wife np 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 the apples, peaches and watermelons are ripe and the crops are all looking fine. We all look forward to laying-by time with no little pleasure. After seven months of toil at the school house at Shady Grove, Miss Lucy Gambrell has closed her school to take the long looked for rest by her and the faithful students, While some of the children seemed to still want to go on, others were glad to take a rest We shall all miss the smiling face of Miss Lucy.

There was a large crowd present and everything passed off nicely. AH returned home bappier by being present. We hope to secure Miss Lucy again, as She Ib a faith? ful and accomplished teacher. The Rev. R- J. Williams preached an excellent sermon to a large congregation at Shady Grove last second Sunday. It was communion day. Lost, between Mr J. S. Acker's and Shady Grove, or on the chnrch ground, a handsome, bl&ok silk fan. Any one find? ing it will oblige the owner by leaving it at Mr. Acker's. Mrs. Dr. Cannon is still real feeble and confined to her bod. Mrs. Dr. Cheshire has gotten home after, staying away three weeks under medical treatment in Anderson. 'Tishoped by her many friendi that she will soon be herself again. She is getting on real nicely. Fred. Cox has been sick for the la t we3k. Mr. Andy McDavld spent the day with bis unole, Mr. J. S.

They bave eight children, all living, forty-nine living grand childen and twenty-five, great grand-children. It would be a grand time to have them all meet together. Little Grady Acker, cged five years, son Of W. H. Acker, commenced going to school to Miss Lucy Gambrell in the spring. He knew his letterp, and when school closed last week he had finished the 2nd reader. He is a bright boy. 'Tis a qestion asked by many, "What has become of the flies." We hope it will be decided that it is unconstitutional to bave them during this Bummer. If that will be the case we say hurra for the reformed party, Tillman or any other man. 0lan da.

Editors Intelligencer : At the last meeting of the board of trustees of the Clemson Agricultural College I was re? quested to notify the farmers at large of tue 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 tbe college, and, when? ever possible, expert farmers, to talk upon suoh 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 tbe farmers to attend and to join in discussions that may from time to time arise. Such an institute should be an agricultural school for tbe 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 espeolal 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 tbe proper time and place for holding the same. It has been suggested that between tbe middle of Joly and tbe middle of September will be the most suitable time. All correspondence in regard to same should be addressed to President E. B. Craigbead, Clemson College, S. C. The Discovery Saved his Life. Mr. G. Caillouette, Druggist, Beavers vllle, 111., says: "To Dr. King's New Dis? covery I owe my life. Was taken with La Grippe and tried all tbe 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 etora or bouse without it." Get a free trial at Hill Bros. Drug Store; Core 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 tbe mofct dreaded habitual slok headaches yield to its influence. We urge all who are afflicted tu procure a bottle, and give this remedy a fair trial. In cases of ha bitual constipation Electric Bitters cures by giving tbe needed tone to the bowels, and few cases long resist the use of this medicine. Try It ones. Large bottles only Fifty cents at Hill Bros. Drug Store Reduced Cotton Area. Tbo fanners of the Smth. tired of rais? ing cotton for fun or live cents; which is about the same thing, have determined to raise the price by reduoing the acreage of 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 Statos. 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 of 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? braska can testify.?Philadelphia Item. He Thought the Gun was Empty. Chattanooga, Tenn., June 12.?Tll 1 den McKinley, a farmer's boy of eighteen years, accidentally discharged a pistol, sending a ball into the neok of Roxie Echols, the nine-j ear-old child 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 I to-day without bail, charged with murder, I but stoutly declares he thought the gun i was empty. ? How's this for a comic opara 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 eount 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 aud be divorced very speedily. This was all carried out 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.

If he is well, he has three years' time in which to revive the Policy by payment of arrears of Premiums with Interest; while if he is sick, or unable to pay the Premium, he is protected by his Eitended Insurance.
