We recently read a letter from a gentleman who owns lands in almost every Southern State to Mr. Barrett, vice president of the Georgia Agricul tural Society, upon the cultivation of Chinese hemp as a profitable crop in the Sauth. We had intended giving our readers the benefit of the article in full, but through somie means when we wanted the clipping it was misplaced. It may sound just now like a dry subject, but it impressed us so favorably that we will endeavor to give our readers some light upon this crop in the future. It is claimied that millions of dol lars worth of this Chinese hemp, as it is commonly called, is imported an nually from Italy and other Eastern countries, and that the same soil and climate that we have in the Southern States to poduce the finest cotton will make the finest hemp. It is claimed that it has been grown most successfully in Mississippi, and also in Georgia right near Augusta, where the soil and climate is practically the same as ours here in Clarendon county. The methods of preparing the hemp for market by getting it into bales is not near so troublesome as the preparation of cotton for mar ket, when we consider the ginning and baling of cotton, and is scarcely so troublesome as tobacco. It is easily made and brings a good price when put on the market, and our im pression is that it can easily be made a profitable crop to go along with to bacco and take the place of cotton, the continued planting of which is making the farmers of the South poorer every year. We hope some of our more wide awake farmers will keep this subject in mind, and by writing to Mr. Bar rett at Augusta they can get some valuable information. There is ap parently no reason why it cannot be raised to advantage. The eastern part of South Carolina, including our own Clarendon county, is now recog nized throughout the whole country and abroad as being one of the best tobacco growing sections in the U~nit ed States, and twelve years ago such a thing was not thought of. About all the tobacco that was grown in this county ten or twelve years ago was a few stalks that some of the old aunties planted near the chimneys to make their private smoking, and now what do we see? Any one who is in Manning next Wednesday will be impressed with the change, and there is no reason why other and just as profitable crops as tobacco cannot be made to take the place of cotton. About twelve years ago the late D-. Ingram made an experiment with tobacco in Manning, but was unfort unate with bad seasons and aban doned the crop. Shortly afterwards Capt. Alderman planted a crop near Alcolu, but for some reasons did not continue it. Then a few enterprising citzens of Salem, notably Messrs. J. E. Beard, Lige and R. R~. Tomlinson and A. T. Buddin took up the plant ing of tobacco and made a success of it. These gentlemen might almost pe called the pioneer successful to bacco growers in Clarendou. But it wvas not long before the Messrs. Tur beville, Baker, Morris, Floyd, Green, McIntosh, Worsham and others went into the business, and one has only. to ride through the neighborhood of ' these gentlemen now and note the changes of the past seven or eight years to see what tobacco has done. 2lnere are other sections of our coun ty which should be under last.ng ob ligations to the people of the Ne~w Zion and Douglass Swamp sections for beginning the cultivation of one of the~ most profitable crops that our farmners have ever planted. We want to see other crops planted, and with tobacco, hemp and the many other crops that we can raise just as soon as we learn how, we will yet some day have the best State in the Union. We often imagine that there are other States or countries which are better than ours, hut when we visit them we do so to find that we have only heard the bright side and nothing of the disadvantages and drawbacks. There is little that peo ple need that we cannot make here, and diversified crops will do more towards making us a happy and pros Robert Ingersoll, the famous agnos tic has at last gone to his eternal home and we have no doubt that he was convinced of the falsity of his teachings on earth. Ingersoll was one of the most brilliant and most eloquent men in the United States and having such magnificent attain ments and attributes, made him the more dangerous to society. He had the ability to do good, but he pre ferred to waste his talents in the op posite direction. His death was sud den, like the snuffing of a candle, and the memory of the man should be blotted out as quickly as was his life. Secretary of War Alger has at last succumbed to the demands of the press and tendered his resiguation to President McKinley. The resignation was accepted in one, two, three or der and a New York lawyer by the name of Elihu Root appointed. Al ger held out a long time and his ad ministration was a rough and rug ged one; it really is pretty tough on the Michigander to be fired at this stage of the game. We have no idea that Alger is altogether to blame for the conduct of the war; there are oth ers equally at fault, if fault there be. The press of the Union made a de termined effort to force Alger's dis missal and the desired result has been obtained. Now will Eli get there and stay there? Those newspapers editors in this tate who are persisting in their in timations that Senator McLaurin made a deal with President McKinley to vote for the peace treaty in return for Judge Simmonton's official shoes, know full well that they have no foundations for their miserable asser tions, and it is only a part of the con cocted program which was conceived long before the peace treaty was be fore congress, for the gratification of a sore-headed, defeated Congressman whose district was very weakly repre sented while he was in Congress. The idea of charging John McLaurin with being a republican is absurd, and why is the charge made? Because McLaurin in his judgement saw fit to break away from certain self ap pointed party leaders and assert his own manhood. He voted for the peace treaty after the American flug was fired upon by foreigners, because by rejecting the treaty it was virtu ally acknowleding that Dewey had no business in Manila bay. William Jennings Bryan, the chosen leader of the Democratic party, and who win be the party's nominee next year if e lives, advised and urged the demo rats in Congress to ratify the peace treaty. We read the declarations of newspapers that declare AMcLaurin a republican, and at the same time they old up Bryan as a symbol of Democ racy, and we are amazed at their in consistency. If McLaurin by voting for the peace treaty is a Republican, then Br-yan who advised his adherents to vote for the treaty must also be a Republican and therefore should not ave a place at the head of the Demo ratic ticket. But where do these editors get their idea that voting for the peace treaty is treachery to De mocracy? The declarations of a par ty are made in its platform, and the Democratic party has not as yet made any declarations, one way or another. t might as well be said that because Hoar of Maesachusetts, and Edmunds of Vervont, both distinguished and life-long Republicans, have made speeches against McKinley's war pol icy that they are Democrats, we hear no such charge as that, but because McLaurin has seen fit to differ with Ben Tillman on purely a question of American policy, when no party feal ty is involved, he is at once stigma tized a Republican. Trake 3IcLaurin's record in Congress and see how faith fully his votes have been cast when a question involving tbc Democratic platform came up. No, MIcLaurin is not a Republican, nor wa his vote cast for Simonton's judicial robe, and before his term shall have expired the people of South Carolina who are doubting him now, will see that even if mistaken, he has been an honest and faithful Senator, doing what he could for his people. $100 RIEWARD $100.

FINISH THlE STATE HOUSE--WH ENi This is the subject which is giving the editors of the State food for re flection during these hot days. It seems that they are nearly all of one mind. Some fellow pitched the tune and the fraternity is joining almost with one accord in the chorus: It shall be did, It shall--it shall --it shall Be did-did---did-did. And away they sing. One brother editor announces the question closed since the press has so universally en dorsed it. An editor began the move and another editor closes it with a gusto announcing that the press can have done what it wants. Why do not more of the editors want administration of the government. The Laurens Advertiser does not join the chorus, but in an editorial headed, "Busted," says: "There is a small chorus of approval of somebody's suggestion to finish the State I House according to the original plans. The estimates are put at some $300,000. We had better go slow. If we start the busi ness it won't stop under some nullions. Th'.e House as it stands is good enough tor the work done within its walls. Then if we finish it up after the origial grand conetptions it wli require millions fLr statuary of o'ir great men.

Wvashilngto Letter. (From or.r Regular Correspoudti ) Washington, July 21.--The refusal of the administration to take any no tice of the courageous exposure by newspaper correspondents at Ma nila of the deception practiced upon the people of this couutry by Geti. Otis in his official dispatches and of the extraordinary tactics employed by him to prevent the truth being cabled by the correspondents, is a tacit acknowledgment that the decep tion has been carried on with the knowledge and approval of the ad ministration. This attitude of the administration bas been barshly crit icized by prominent Republicans as well as by eveiybody else. If the ex posure had been made by one cor respondent it would have been right enough to say that it might have been inspired by personal pre-judice, but it, was signed by every promi nent correspondent at Manila, in cluding those of the Associated Press, which furnishes papers of all shades of politics, aLd moreover it merely confirmed what was known to many for months past. If the administra tion enjoys its present position, its opponents ought to raise no objec tion, as it is making anti-McKinley votes by thousands. Secretary Alger has told Mr. Mc Kinley what he had previously told everybody else-that his resignation, which accompanied the information, might take effect at his pleasure. That was no news to Mr. McKinley and has not relieved his embarrass ment a bit. Members of the cabinet are not in the habit of refusing to re sign when asked by the President to do so. The only man who ever did so was Belknap, who had to be kicked out of Grant's cabinet. While it is not known positively what concessions were granted by this government in the four treaties negotiated with England, under the Dingley law, respectively for trade reciprocity with the English colonies of Barbadoes, Bermuda, British Gui nea and Jamaica, it is said that they are equivalent to a horizontal reduc tion of 12 per cent. in the duties levied by the Dingley tariff on the products of those colonies. All of these treaties will have to be approved by the House as well as the Senate before they go into effect. The time imit was reached this week, and no more treaties can be negotiated un der the Dingley law. Events this week have made it cer tain that there is a movement on foot in administration circles to throiw Hobart overboard to make Governor Roosevelt Mr. McKinley's running mate in next year's campaign, the idea being that Roosevelt's war record will neutralize any defections caused by Algerism and administration war blunders and mismanagement. Roose velt's consent has not yet been ob tained, and that is why the idea is being publicly pushed. The man agers of the scheme think that if the McKinley and Roosevelt ticket is ad vocated by a large number of Re publican papers it will tickle the van ity of Governor "Teddy" to such an extent that he will consent to being shelved by becoming a candidate for Vice President.~ Mr. Hobart's con sent has not been obtained, either, but that is not considered any more necessary than was Levi P. Morton's consent when a similar game was playe 1, notwiths.tanding the close personal friendship existing between Mr. McKinley and Mr. Hobart. Friendship counts for nothing with the men who are arranging for Mr. McKinley's political future. "The trusts must go" is the key stone of an organization which though comparatively new, already claims members in every State and Terri tory. It is known as the American AntiTrust League. The executive committee of the league held a meet ing in Washington this week. The league, which has a full set of na tional officers, thus sets forth its ob ject: "The purpose of the American Anti-Trust League is to arouse the only power on earth that is stronger than the power of money in public life. Thatt power is the patriotic imn pulses of the people. The little fin ger of that power, when awakened, is stronger ten thousand times than the influence of all the billions of all the trusts and combines of the land. Th'Ie memories of the many' sacritices of the fathers call us to action. If these trust combinations are allowed to go on they can plunder each of us into poverty. No man knows how soon the fear of hunger for his wife and family will make him a coward. It behooves us to strike while the fire of iberty yet burns. The American Anti-Trust League is non-partisan. We call all American freemen to council. If a Democrat or a Populist or ai Republican public man has shown himself to be a subservient tool of this great corporate power, then all the united power of the men of the American Anti-Trust League will be used to crush him and drive him from public life. WVe will adopt the tactics of our enemy until we have created a lEgislative, j udicial and executive power1 in sympathy wih the public welfare. And wve cll uponi every Anmericatn citizen who l'ves his country and the great. prin i ph s of our popuilar goverunanft bnier th1 an he d1oes his party' to join is iu the work of re-establishing the qal rights of American citizenship."

I think that inasmuch as the people >f Clarendon county have placed the editor of THE TIMES in an important position in regard to the levying of taxes they will be gratified at the position he has taken. The taxpay ers of this State are already burdened with taxes, and to raise the State levy at this time would be more than the people would stand. At any rate the people should have an opportu nity of saying whether or not the levy should be raised, and I venture the assertion that no candidate will come out and advocate an increase in the tax levy if he has any idea of being elected. There are many people ini this county who would like to see the State house completed if they were able just now to stand an increase in the levy, but at this time they are too poor.
