KI I.I.HI) WIDTH BOY. Negro Struck llim in llrad Causing Death. Leroy Sellers, a white boy 17 years of ago, was struck by a colored boy, Willie Johnson, in front of his place of employment on King street, in Charleston Monday morning and died almost immediately afterwards, following the blow which the negro gave the boy on the back of the head and the full to the flagstone pavement. An autopsy was held to establish whether the boy died from natural cause's or from the blow and the examination of the surgeons showed thai the boy's heart and lungs were all right, and that death resulted from concussion of the brain. The negro boy is under arrest, awaiting formal formal commitment by the coroner's jury. COSTLY "(JHHASK" i Sailors I'sed $*J0,OOO Worth of AiulH*rgris, Not Knowing its Value.

At Chester, Pa., after calling his wife and declaring he intended killing her and their baby, James Wood tired a bullet through his brain Tuesday, dying almost instantly. That the baby and the mother did not sufTer was duo to her presence of mind. The family wns at the Grand Central Hotel, when Wood called his wife to the parlor. He said: "I am going to shoot you; then I am going to kill the baby and myself." Mrs. Wood, with great presench of mind, replied: "Well, just wait till I cullmaiutna. you may as well kill us all while you are about it." The ruse was successful. Hurrying to the lower part of the hosue, the young wife called for help, and when her brother-in-law, William Minshall, proprietor of the hotel, rushed into the room.

TILLMAN POIl SECOND PLACE. Senator's Name May be Presented for Vice Presidency at Denver. ("Sen. Wilie Jones, chairman of the State Democratic comniittee, stated Monday that, lie had considered that the South Carolina delegation should present tin- name of Senator Tillman to the Convention for Vice President, and he thinks it is possible that this will be done. The nomination would be purely complimentary, of course, as Senator Tillman has gone to Europe to rest until after the close of the campaign and would not if nominated, he aide to participate in the campaign at all on account of the serious condition of his health. However his name may he presented. MANY KILLED. Engine anil Two Coaches Arc* 1 >it Willi Fatal Ill-Milts. Eight are reported killed in a Missouri Pacific wreck at Lamar, near Sedalia, Mo., Thursday.

Harris of the State Farmers' Union Issues Another Circular Letter. President J3. Harris of the State Farmers' Union has issued another circular letter urging the farmers to hold their cotton for 15 cents. The letter is as follows: Some sixty days ago wo were told that cotton was going to eight cents per pound. Wo were told this by some of o\ir leading business men and cotton buyers of our cities and they did finally scaro some of our farmers and managed to get them to sell some at ten cents per pound. Now let's se.* what it is selling; for: And the way from twelve to twelve and one-half cents per pound. Now it behooves us to investigate the cause of this rise of ten dollars per bale. Is it that trade conditions are so much better, or is it that the holding of it off of the market is the cause? Surely the blind man can ,-ee the cause. According to the best estimate obtainable the requirements of the mills thtb year wilt be greato- than > be supply of acceptable gtnlc* of :o ton, h -j; -,e there should no fear of r? surplus l? < iel.>?4* ass tl -< marketing of the balance of this year's crop. On the other hand It. Is now generally considered that after the shortage of last, year's crop of 4,500,000 bales that the world would need a big crop this year to supply the demand. A bumper crop can not be expected this year because the acreage has been reduced and tho crop Is a poor si and. exceslve rains in the west and the latenest of the season and a dozen other unfavorable conditions. It is impossible that a large crop can be made with these conditions and so there is no need to fear the alarm ing predictions of tho cotton buyers and their allies that cotton can not go higher. I want to tell you that the very thing that has advanced it ten dollars a bale in the last thirty days will still if applied make it bring ilie minimum price 15 ccntB. Now what Is tho remedy? Hold, hold, hold, spot cotton and always remember futures cannot be spun. Spot cotton is selling right here in South Carolina, for the same price Bpots are selling for in New York ami wo all know it takes about one cent per pound to carry cotton to New York and sell it. This shows the conditions at home needs it for the mills. This should stimulate every holder of spot cotton to hold for the minimum price. It is not too late to plant corn. You can plant up to the tenth of July, plant an early variety, manure and work well. It will handsomely pay you for your work. Corn is now selling for $1.10 cash per bushel and $1.35 on time. Remember well filled corn cribs and smoke-houses will always make cotton bring the minimum price fired by the producer, the only one who has a right to put a price upon his product. H. Harris, President South Carolina State Farmers' Union. Pendleton, S. C. HYDROPHOltlA. Symptoms of the Deadly Disease as it Attacks Dogs. As dog days will soon he on us it well for everyone to he very careful in handling and playing with dogs. Hydrophobia is a much to he dreaded disease. It is the result of a specific poison, and produces a certain train c?f symptoms usually 'iid 1 i\n in death. Dors are often thought to have the rallies when tliey are merely slightly affected by the sun. The disease is slow and. a dog never looks wiser than when he is beginning to go mad?mind and body are struggling for mastery. The symptoms of furious rallies are as follows: Nervousness and restlessness to a marked degree; refuses solid food; refuses water; desire to abide in dark places; uncontroiable restlessness. A dog does not foam at the mouth if ho has furious rabies, as foam can only lie produced by healthy saliva, as when chewing a bone or running at great speed. In hydrophobia the tongue becomes very dry. the larynx inflamed and swollen and the poor beast emits a hoarse, peculiar bark in his agony. In dumb rabies the dog foams at the mouth and generally becomes paralyzed. There is not the desire to bite as in the other form. No man, or woman or child can ise too much precaution in the handling of dogs?-pets or otherwise. A lady was mending a tear in her dress caused by the teeth of her pet dog, not suspected of being rabid. She merely bit off the thread from which she contracted hydrophobia. r 11 another case a gentlemen was reclining on the sofa when his dog affectionately licked his cheek. In ti short while a small abrasion on his face began to tingle and smart? he dread disease had set in. Travels in ( lass Cabinet.

I'ri/.e Fight Hackers Arrested. Charged with aidng and abetting a prize fight of 70 persons were wIrested at a Now York club last week.* THE AMERICAN FARMER. The Man Who Tills (he Soil Has Come Into His Own at l<nst. If the American farmer went out of business this year he coulil clean up thirty billion dollais. And he would have to sell hs farm on credit; for there is not enough money in the whole world to pay him half his price. Talk of the money-niad trusts! They might have reason to be mad if they owned the farms, instead of their watered stock. When we remember that the American farmer earns enough in seventeen days to buy out the Standard Oil. and enough In fifty days to wipe Carnegie ??.d the steel trust off the Industrial map, the story of the trusts seems like "the short and simple annuls of the poor." One American harvest would buy the kingdom of Belgium, king and all; two would buy Italy; three would buy Austria-Hungary. and five at a snot cash price, would take Rursia from the czar. Talk about swollen fortunes! With the setting of every sun the money box of the American farmer bulg??with the weight of twenty-four new imaginations can conceive of such a torrent of wealth. Place your fingers on the pulse of your wrist, and count the heartbeats, one, two, three, four. With every four of those quick throbs, day and night a thousand dollars clatters into the gold-bin of the American farmer. How Incomprehensible it. would seem to Pericles, who saw Greece io her Golden Age. If he could knowthat the yearly revenue of this country is now no more than one day's pay for the men who till the soil of this infant republic. Or, how it would amaze a resurrected Christopher Columbus if he were told fhat the revenue of Spain and Portugal are not nearly as much as the earnings of the American's farmers' hen! Merely the crumbs that drop from the farmer's table (otherwise known as agricultural exports) have brought him to enough in foreign money since 1892 to enable him, if he wished, to settle the railroad problem once for all by buying every foot of railroad In the United States. Such is our New Farmer?a man Cor whom there is no name in any language. He is far above the farmer of the story-books is a IPO.% touring car is above a jinriikisha. Instead of being an ignorant hoemun in a barnyard world, ho gets the news by daily mail and telephone, and incidentally publishes 800 trade journals of his own. Instead of being a moneyless peasant, he pays the interest 011 the mortgage with the earnings of a week, Kven this is less of an expense than it seems for ho borrows money from himself, out of his own bank, and spends the bulk of the tax money around his own properties. Farming for h business, not for a living?this is the motive of the new farmer. He s a coinmerciulist a man of the twentieth century, lie works as hard as the old farmer did. but iu a higher way. He uses the four M's?mind, money, machinery and muscle; but as little of the latter as possible. Neither is he a Robinson Crusoe of the -soil, as the old farmer was. Ills hermit day^ are over; he is a man among men. The railway, the trolley, the automobile, and the top buggy have transformed him into a suburbanite. In fact his business has become so complex and n> invsided that he touches civilization at more points and lives a larger life than if he were one of the atoms of a crowded city. All American farmers, of course. are not of tho new variety. The country is fike the city, has its slums. Hut after having made allowance for exceptions, it is still true that the United States is the native land of tho new farmer, lie is the most typical human product that this country has produced, and the most important, for, in spite of his eguLlstical cites, the United States is still a farm based nation.?Herbert N. Casson, In May Review of Reviews. * This world is none the poorer for losing the religion that ran itself out in rhetoric, The Power of Bryan. The Charleston Evening Post says: "And there is North Carolina in the Bryan column, after all the boasts of the opposition that the State would have nothing to do with the Nehraskan. And Senator Simmons, who is the chief anti-Bryanite among the Tarheels, had to run the gauntlet of the convention in order to get a place on the instructed delegation to Irenver. The Charlotte Observer was prepared for this before some others. A week before the State convention met in Charlotte, The Observer, predicting a declaration for Bryan, said: "Since Wnrt b ('ornlino non rtr?t etirinrr V?? V/M* VMM HWV OTT1II HIC Bryan owned party, the Bryan-owned party will be likely to swing North Carolina. The convention in this State comes even later than Virginia's and events elsewhere have likewise almost predetermined its action, Emancipation of the national party has been visibly deferred. Why should a few States burden themselves with the future? North Carolina being human, will presumably get on the band wagon | as a matter of course." It got on-all right, bnt why all this talk about the "Bryan owned" party? Who gave Mr. Bryan title to the party? Certainly he did not go into the political market and buy the Democracy. "Why not be fair to the party and to Mr. Bryan, too, by admitting I that the Nebraskan has fairly won the nomination which will be his by acclamation at Denver. He has no Federal patronage, he has no great * campaign fund, he is not a rich 1" man, although he is very comforta- ' bly provided for. Whence comes 1 his supremacy in the party except f through the power of an idea? The r idea may not be particularly attrac- ' tive to old fashioned Democrats. * We confess that we have never been t under its spell. But its presence < and force is not to be denied. It is ? a reul, living factor. Mr. Bryan is I more of an evangelist than a states- t man, and the American reopie are < more inclined at the present time to 1 evangelism than to statecraft. Perhaps it is wisely ordained that a na- i tion shall pass through periods of t elation, when the heart rules rather than the head, and this may be one of those periods, and Mr. Bryan the interpreter of its emotion. The period of practical, constructive statesmanship will come later, when those of us who understand only "safe and sane" methods in government will be at home again, and Mr. Bryan will be a saint in the political calendar. But there is no question that the transcendentalism of Mr. Bryan has a powerful hold upon the minds of the people today, and it is useless to rail against it all and to abuse Mr. Bryan as a slave driver of Democracy. "Mr. Bryan has persisted as the central figure of the Democratic party and one of the three or four commanding personalities of the country for twelve years, through two defeats of his own and one period of essay by those in opposition i to him to assert and illustrate itself as the dominant element of Democracy. It is time to put aside preju- i dices to forget predispositions and to recognize conditions that are. i Mr. Bryan is a great figure and a vital force in the politics of this country, and ho is the established leader of the Democratic party And he will be the next President of the United States." The Cotton Crop. The influence of the cotton crop of America upon the world's commerce does not decline. On the contrary, every year it becomes i more manifest. The production of cotton is studied with grtatcr care every year. Ihe different experi ment stations and the government bureau at Washington are now able to state conclusions based on experiments which are of great value to the cotton planter. At this time the chief interest seems to center in the seed selection and in the better treatment of the soil. The correspondents of Home and Farm will have 1 much to say of interest on these . points. The insect enemies of the cotton plant are best met in the se- 1 lection of the seed and in the prepa- J ration of < he soil and in the early development of the plant. The early cotton escapes the boll weevil to a large extent. In a recent bulletin published by the Agiicnltural Department at i Washington it is said the expense for picking the cotton is the largest item in the cost oj production. The. entire crop is picked by har d, just as in the beginning. i One man with modern machinery can cultivate thirty acres, hut it requires four pickers to gather the crop as rapidly as is neces&arv to prevent loss. It isestimated that one and a half million persons working four months are needed to gather a crop the size of that grown in 11)07. Let us remember that the grain crops are now harvested by machin- i cry and consider what a revolution would be wrought if we had a cotton harvester equal to the grain harvesters of the North. Great improvements have been made in the ginning of cotton, and some improvements have been made in the bailintr of cotton, but there is room for improvement on both accounts still. Further, there is room for improvement in marketing the crop. Farmers cannot control the railroads either in price or in waste or ! injury to cotton in transit, but the ' farmer of the Southern States ' should consider the cost of carrying the cotton to the railroad sta " tion. They do not not count this work as costing them anything, but it is a serious mistake. As it stands, the estimate is that it costs SO cents j to get a bale of cotton hauled to the rail-road station. This expense ( ought to be reduced one-half by the improvement of the county roads. With good roads they could haul ! twice as much with the same expenditure of labor?man labor and mule labor. The cost of marketing the crop, taking the average from different railroad station of America to Liv orpool is $3.60 a bale of pounds. In other words, it costs nearly onefourth as much to carry the cotton , to the railroad station as it does to ; got the cotton from th? railroad ! station to the Liverpool market.? 1 Home and Farm. I Cotton iiimI Prosperity. The Columbia State says: lx The last five cotton crops, the o Philadelphia R< cord reminds us, th lave represented a cash value for p, int alone, of more than three bil- n ion dollars. It is almost, perhaps .r| luite, impossible for the human (j, nind to conceive three billion dol \ ars, yot this inconceivable sum has >een poured into the lap of this na y( ion by the Southern cotton-grow jc ?rs, within live years, from the \ staple of their fields. To this three 0i >illions must Ik* added seme $500,>00,000 realized from the sale of tr :otton-seed products in the smu v. x?riod. ^ We can better appreciate this by a, emembering that previously it j ;ook ten cotton crops to approxi- a, 11 ate this vast tribute. The dcvtl- ?t jpemcnt has been greater than \ :hat of any other crop. It has n, Drought prosperity and opportunity ^ to the South. Even if we did not p reckon the lint at all, the value of w .he cotton seed would still make n cotton a notable crop; but when we w idd the oil and the cotton-seed ei meal to the lint, in which the world a clothes it seif, we have a grandpor- w duct of our fertile soil and fecudn air that means the continued and the j.roatly increased prosjierity of this i ection. ^ Persons that talk and write of cotton are of to., inclined to ignore ^ the by-products of the ticlde. A few years ago, 181) 1, the production ^ nf cotton-seed oil was or.lv 50,000,- ' DOt) gollons now it exceeds 175.000, ^ KK) gallons, Previously to 1S70 the seed was 1 thought to be a nui ianci about the 1 farm. Then it began to be used for the oil in it, and now it represents one of the great industries of c the country. We consume vast " quantities of it as salad anil cooking 11 oil, vnc feed it to our stock, with the * most gaatifying results, we ship it r to every country of the globe to on- ' rich the milk and cream of millions af dairy farms. 1 Cotton remains the most influen- 1 tial of the products of the soil.
