Tillman on Fluaiiciiiir tlie Crops of

Washington, August 4.?Senator Tillman
of South Carolina submitted to
the senate 1'or publication in the record
today two letters he had received
bearing 011 his effort to have liberal
1 financial arrangements made for accommodating
the South in moving
i crops.
One letter was from a farmer in
Newberry, S, C., who declared . the
situation in the South so critical
that it is not possible to sell farm
j produce for cash Another was from
j President Lewis W. Parker, president

The Newspaper Job.
Many people believe that a newspaper
falls together without work or
concerted action or plan. Rev. McI
Leod, a Presbyterian minister at PasI
adena, was of the opinion, and asked
to be allowed to edit an edition of the
Pasadena Star. The editor gladly ac
j cepted the opportunity to go fishing,
and the minister took up his duties in
: the newspaper office. This is how he
I felt when he found himself at the
: end of the task, which, it must be
| said, had been done quite creditably:
"My time is almost up as I pen this
last line; my hand is almost paralyzed;
my brain is befuddled and I!
am free to confess that I am right
glad to vacate the holy spot. Such j
uish and riot and disarray. Such aj
ljumble to potpourri; it strikes me as
| the effort to bring order out of chaos,
'and to do it lightning quick.
I "I am reminded of the memorable
words. The earth was without form
and void, and darkness was upon
the face of the waters Never shall
I criticise newspaper men more. %I
i shall pray ^or them They will have1
(my heart's forbearance henceforth and
j forever.' They are the hardest work'ed,
shortest lived, poorest paid brain
j workers on this weary old world of
: ours."
Wept at 0'>eall's Grave.
| St. Matthews cor., News and Courier.
| John Belton O'Xeall, in the long
ago, was a great temperance man,
and he did not hestitate to make
public addresses against the great
evil. In referring to his position in
a magnificent address by Dr. James '
H. Carlisle we heard him say that
he had stood by the grave of John
Belton O'Xeall in Newberry and
wept for more O'Nealls on the bench
in South Carolina. We are glad to
see that this day has arrived.
DEATHS FROM HEAT I> KANSAS.
We'itb-r Forecast Promises Reiiof
Through Thunder Showers.
i
Kansas City, August 9.?Relief from
the temperaturs of 100 degrees and
higher that have prevailed over Kansas
and in most parts of Missouri
and Oklahoma the last ten days was
! promised by the local weather fore|
caster tonight. He said that thunder
showers were probable and his predictions
applied especially to Kansas
which has been in the grip of a
draught since early in June.
Today's weather reports were
another round of high temperatures.
In Kansas the mercury again climbed
above the century mark. Thermnmof&rc
in cnrrifi narts of the State
j registered as high as 108.
Three deaths due to heat were reported
in Kansas today. Few prostrations
occurred because farmers and
j other outside workers have suspended
operations. Farmers are doing
the work that is absolutely necessary,
such as providing feed and water for
i livestock and digging cisterns, and
' pipe lines, to conserve the water on
hand.

Mr. and Mrs. Grubb have seven children,
