The young man should be encour aged to remain on the farm, for from the farm comes our foremost men in all the professions, even to politics. The Augusta Chronicle states that Gen. M. C. Butler, of Edgefield, sent to the city hospital in Augusta a few days ago, Mr. Hugh Scott, one of his scouts during the Civil war. Mr. Scott has been ill for some time, and the action of General Butler in pro viding for one of his old soldiers is leeching many commendations. -i . m - The Bintement is made that the death of Senator Vest, of Missouri, leaves Capt. Samuel H. Callahan, of Muscogee, I. T., the only survivor of the Congress of the Confederacy. Capt. Callahan is in his seventy seventh ?ear. Ile was burn in South ern Alabma. His father was a white man and his mother a half-blood Creek Indian. ? - mt - . - A better time than now can never be had to show home-seekers the pos sibilities of the South, especially South Carolina; crops at no time were ever in finer growth or better condi tion. Agriculturally, South Carolina ie on a rising tide, and growing pros perously, and with the advent of new citizens and improved methods of farming tbe State will advance dan gerously near first place. The rail roads and individuals interested' in immigration should arrange some ex cursions with liberal stop over privi leges from the North to the South while the crop situation and manufac turing industry are so inviting. - ^o-? ?tm The Union Herald, Washington, 1). C., propounds this question : "The question now is, shall labor permit it self to be used as a paw in the inter esting game of politics?" Certainly. Aren't laboring men, at the behest of political agents, striking to create a diversion and discontent? There is nothing else to strikj for, because there ha? been no cut of wages to just ify it, in fact there has been no de crease in wages except where the de crease of business made it a necessity. Labor will havo fewer troubleb io eoa tend with when it becomes thorough ly informed on business conditions and learns to adapt itself to the vary ing economical conditions-condi tions all the legislation in Christen dom cannot control, except for univer sal harm. It is grat *'ying to note the extreme tendency toward democratic harmony in all sections of thc country. It bodes well for the party nt the ap proaching presidential election. In West Virginia everything has been subordinated to the wishes of Mr. Davis, the Democratic nominco for tho vice-presidency. The Democrats of that State are most interested in carry ing West Virginia for Darker and Davis. They do not want to see the State go against thc aged ex-senator, who occupies a place on the presiden tial ticket. They are subordinating everything to the main fight of carry ing the State for the national tiokct. Consequently the warring factions of thc Democracy io that State have 'grounded arms and in the State Con vention the utmost harmony prevailed. In Indiana the same thing is appar ent. The party is in fighting trim under the leadership of Thomas Tag gart, National Democratic Chairman. A strong tioket has been nominated for Governor and State House officers, and if Roosevelt carries the State he he will know he has been to the mill. In Kansas and other western States the Democrats will fuse with the populiste and in that way down Roose velt. In New York the Tammany and Anti-Tammany factions are work ing in harmony, which means Demo cratic success in that State. Carlyle McKinley, chief editorial writer of the staff of the News and Courier, died Thursday morning at his residence in Charleston. His newspaper career began in 1875 as cor espondent of the NewB and Courier at Columbia. He aoted also in this capacity af Washington for a time, and in 1881 became a member of the editorial stall of the paper. His work was performed in an admirable man ner, and his opinions on publie ques tions were valued throughout the en tire country. Possessed of a brilliant mind, a close student, and a clear thinker and reasoner, Mr. McKinley's services have been a strong factor in giving The News and Courier a nation al influence. He was with all his attainments an exceedingly modest man, and this prevented him from being better known among the jour* nalists of the country. . He had a decidedly literary turn of mind, and during his busy life found time to write some poems of rare merit, He was best known by his work, "An Appeal to Pharaoh,'* a book ^hich advocated deportation is tl?'-' onJy final solution of the vexed race ijues tion. No was a Georgian by hirth, springing from au ancestry winch con tributed many able men to the State and federal service. The body was taken to Lexington, (?corgia. thc place of his birth, for interment. Latest War News. Chefoo, August 85.- Port Arthur ia tottering to its fall, but it hua been j brought to that condition at appalling cost to the Japanese. The reeent assaults by the Japanese have been of the most desperate char acter and were marked by Josses which almost stagger belief. Advices received here to-day stat?' that the attempt of the Japanese to capture fort No. 1 cost them fully 10, 000 men, killed and wounded. Four desperate chargea were made by the Japanese on the fort, but each time they were forced to i';ill back bel ore the terrible lire ot' tho Russian bat- ' teries. Thesecond, third and fourth I chargea of the Japanese were mude j over tb<' corpses ot their comrades who j had tullen in thelirst dash. When thc attack, ceased the ground for -'?on yards in front of tho fort was j literally covered with the bodies of the mikado's soldiers. Many of the Jar panes*' were shot down at the ditch surrounding the fort. This assault was made under the eyes ol Field Mar shal ('yama, who arrived several days I ago, ii.id is directing operations against Fort Arthur. St. Petersburg, August 20.--The ad vices of tho war ollice from the front are very meager. In fact, they are confined to a report, dated August'?4, giving an account of the nd vance of the Jupaneso column of ?50,000 mun along tile main road toward Lino Yang, which began at daybreak, Au gust 24. The Japanese drove in the KuBbian outposts and when the column reached a point a couple of miles west of Liandiansian, theJapanese attempt ed to install batteries, but they met with each a hot lire that they only suc ceeded in placiug one battery, which wau soon compelled to change its posi tion. Tokio, August 28.-The general staff maintained silence throughout to-day concerning the lighting in the vicinity of Lino Yang. It is reported that General Kuroki has seized and cut the railroad south of Mukden, thus sepa rating* the Russian forces and cutting Liao Yang oft from a direct line of re treat, but con li rn i uti on of this re;-ort cannot be obtained. The fighting reported occurring east and southeast of Liao Yang is regard ed here as preliminary to a larger con test in the immediate vicinity of Liao Yiing. It is expected that General Kuroki, Oku aul Nodzu will press for ward speedily. London, August 28.-According to a dispatch of to-day's date to the Cen tral News from Liao Yank, an artillery battle has beeu in progress since 8 o'clock this morning near Liao Yang. The ltussian inaiu position, the dis patch says, is what was formerly the outpost line of the Liao Yang garri son. Liao Yang, August 28.-The Rus sians retired from Anahanshau yester day after a tight which commenced on the morning of August 20, and con tinued in a desultory manner ?ill day and night. Arrangements for a battle had been completed by night time when the order to retire was given on account of the situation to the east. The order was received with dis appointment by the troops. The re tirement was made in an orderly man ner. The plain between Anshnnshnn and Iluicheng waa covered with Japanese troops, who burned the bridge und shelled the rnilwuy station after the Kussian retirement. The Kussian losses amount to '.100. The Japanese are advancing with great rapidity. Ht. Petersburg, August 28.-It is un derstood from a reliable source that Lieutenant General Stoessel, comman der of the Kussian military force at Port Arthur has telegraphed to the emperor Hiankiug him for the recent niessnKe of encouragement sent to the garrison of Port Arthur, suying that the defenders of the fortress are ready und willing to lay down their lives, but added that the'garrison has already suffered severely and intimating that it is hardly possible to hold out for more thflu a month or six weeks.

Weevil Damage is Increasing. Galveston, Aug. SC.-In conjunction with th? weekly crop bulletin of the Texas section of the L'nited States Weather Bureau has issued, Profes sor W. D. Hunter, special agent of the Agrieultuial Department in charge of tht' boll weevil investigation in Texan, han ismred a special reporten tho boll weevil and the injury it has inflicted to cotton duiJug the past month, ile says : "Since the publication of the man showing the distribution of the boll weevil in Texas and Louisiana on .July lu, the department hus continued the investigation ol'northern counties in Texas. In Kastland, I'alio Pinto. Parker, Tarrant, DnllaH, Kaufman and Denton Counties nany points have been visited. The result of the inves tigation has shown that the line indi cating the northern limit of the seri ously infested region has, niuce July IP, moved about 20 miles ntnthward. "lu other words points in the lati tude of Dallas and Arlington, which at that time were uninfested, now show a considerable number of wee vils. In fact, they are now found in the vicinity of Currollton, in Dallas County, in both of these cases about seven miles south of the Denton Coun ty line. "At the lust mentioned points the buding of numbers of adult weevils in the cotton bold with no lavae or other immature stages indicates that the migration is taking place. This migra tion will continue indefinitely, its ter mination depending upon climate con ditions in the fall. "For the present it may be sufficient to state that the northern limit of the seriously infested region has moved 20 miles northward during the last 30 days. Weevil damage is now general from Hill and Navarro counties south ward to the gulf. In Victoria, Karnes and Bexar couhties southward to the gulf. In Victoria, Karnet und Bexar Counties the insects have multiplied to such an extent that it is very rare ly that a bloom is seen in the fields. "The squares are all being punctured as they are formed, and the surplus of weevils is attacking the bolls in a great many cases. In the latitude of the counties from Washington to Travis the weevil has not yet reached quite such great numbers. In fact, many fields where 20 ro 25 por cent', of the squares are nut yet destroyed. "However, it will require only a week or 10 days for the pest to mul tiply so that all of the fruit will be destroyed. The only prospect for a crop through that region is from the bolls that are already set upon the plants. From the latitude from Washington and Travis Counties northward to Johnson and Ellis, the percentage of infested squares de creased from the neighborhood of 75 to 25." Minutes of the Association.
