lecture on the "Dispensary."" Mr.
AVatson is the Grant! Good Templar
ofytye >v 0. G. T.,*)f this State, lie
is a graceful aud eloquent speaker
and judging from his lecture, a
deep thinker.
t\ Among other things ho said that
f ?. it was hard to tell which was the
\ worst of the two evils: The barroom
or the Dispensary, and if the devil
.*> was called upon to decide on which
side he was on, he would rise up and
say, "Where am I at?"
\ lie said that the most dangerous
part of the whole thing wao that the
Legislature had tried to make liquor
selling respectable and that is what
thj devil has been trying to do all
the t'me. He vividly described the
joy of his Satanic majesty when he
heard that the Legislature of South
? Carolina had come to his rescue, and
t was doing a thing that was impossible
for him to do. A boy ruined
by Dispensary liquor, he said, is as
much ruined as if he got it from the
lowest grog-ship in the land.
-V He said that several weeks ago the
r Tillman leaders met in Columbia
ostensibly for the purpose of discussing
the railroad eases, but he was
informed by a reliable gentleman,
who was present, that they decided
that if they did not sucoeod in es
tablishing Dispensaries throughout
\ the State to call an extra session of
1 the Legislature and eliminate all
I rights from tho bill favorable to
prohibitionists, and place that right
in the power of the State govern
ment.

their hearts were right there was
something wrong about their eyes,
where their brains ought to bo,

The weather last week was cool
and pleasant, and made sight seeing
comfortable. Dedication exercises
were the order of the week, and the
homes of Canada, Minnesota, and
Illinois were all made ready, not

and the old Vienna village.

teu in festival hall are becoming more
popular every day, as attested by the
crowds who attend. That sort of
is more in touch with the public's?
fayor than the high-toned, one
string symphonies of tho masters.
Many of tho state buildings aro
keeping open house, and receive visitors
with much cordiality, especially
so among, the courteous and
hospitable southern homes.
As if tho people were liabio to
overlook old "Liberty Hell/' it has
been placed at the entrance to tho
sho" Pennsylvania building, which builmuj
ding is an exact counterpart of the
)r' cit^ hall in Philadelphia.
The electrical display is something
long to be remembered, and
the evenings when they take place,
will draw crowds to witness the beautifijl
sight.
^ -v^iey are having troub'e over in
Midway phdsance, as the tenants
claim the exposition management
have failed in many particulars to
keep their agreement. As night
comes on, darkness reigns supreme
along this avenue and tho exhibitors
claim they are losing much money.
As if to entice tho rmhlie into thoir
den, a free exhibit is made of a man
among the lions.
He fires off pistols, put his head
in their mouth, and feeds them raw
f meat from his hand. As a lady remarked,
Daniel was not in it with

t^The memorial art palace situated
on tho lake front, loot of jkdams

week, and immediately taken possession
of by tho world's congress of
representative women, and many
prominent in the. varied departments
of womens, work were present and
took part. It is intended to have
these congresses, during the next
six months.,. under the title of the
World's Congress Auxiliary of the
'Columbian Exposition, and many
subjects suoh as medicine, tetnpeianoe,
music, religion, education, etc,
will be ably presented by bright
_ _
minds familiar with the subjects in
hand.
The exhibits in the builder dovoted
to mincing and its kindred industries
are fast assuming shape.
Pennsylvania at present is very
prominent therein with the exhibit
made <>f the fifty-foot pyramid of

will have when completed, a very
fine pavilion to show off the mineral

lias reason to he proud of her exhi
bit of copper seen >in its finished condition,
and as it comes from tho
mines.
Although the new governor-gen
eral of Canada hails from Scotland,
yet he and his good lady, countess
of Aberdeen, seemed to take a great
deal o,f pleasure and interest in the
visit they made among the peasants
in the Irish village.
Ample provision has been made
in case of lire, as a full-fledged lire
department is in operation, and a
patrol boat, the Fire Queen, is in
readiness at all times to do her duty.
It is high time the proper authorities
gave some attention to the fact
that the free toilet conveniences are
kept in a condition fit for use. The
company to whom this concession
Was granted, take good caro that
tho pay closets arc all that could bv

The admissions last week were
about 100,000.
There is trouble over the official
catalogue of the art gallary, especially
among tho Frenchmen. *A

of painting in this art gallery, and
one who visits these institutes much
knows what that means, that it is
a tiresome journey to view them.
The sunshine last week had mush
to do with making the grass grow and
llowers bloom, and anot her such a
week will see oven marked improvement
in this respect.
It is well worth anyone's time to
walk through Midway plaisance, oven
though you do not visit the many
villages and other attractions found
there. Certainly'such a mixture of
Jew and (Jontile, Heathen and
Christuin were never so congregated
before, and many of these strange
people will not return to their native,
land.
The editors in their national convention
last woek and part of this,
seemed to have mixed a great deal
of pleasure with their business, and
they return to their paste pots invigorated
by our lake breezes, and to
continue the good work of saying
kind woids, for the Columbian .Exposition.
The driveways are finished, or
nearly so, but an edict has gone
forth that no driving is to be allowed,
except for the delivery of supplies
late at night and early morning.

the Columbian guards are a trifle
saucy and too oflicious. They seem
to forget that they are required to
begontlomen under all circumstances,
even though thoy are dressed in
brass buttons, black braid and blue
uniforms.
To judge from the numerous hotols
erected for the entertainment of
World's Fair visitors, saying nothing
of the old established" ones, and
many boarding and private lodging
houses, Chicago will have no difliculty
in taking good care of the
multitudes, even though all of China
were poured in on us. Rest assured
on this point, that ample preparations
have been made.
Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, May 22, 1893.
There is a new flag in town. It
is the royal banner of f^pain, and it
proudly floats in the balmy May
breezes, in full view of the White
House, and yet tho most intense
American has no criticism to make
becaf ic of its presence. It tlys over

an everlasting debt of gratitude for
having furnished Columbus the
mejuis to discover a country destined
to become, not only greater than
any other country in the world.
The royal party is headed by the
Infanta Eulalie, who visits us as the
proxy of the Queen Regentpf Spain,
who was by special act of Congress
invited to grace our Columbian exposition
with her prosonce. None
of the perplexities which noddleheaded
toadies predicted would follow
the arrival of the Infanta and
her party huvo materialized, She
has been treated with all the courtesy
due a lady, and she has shown
herself sensib'e enough not to ex/
pect any royal flapdoodle in a country
where royalty is unknown,
although every honest tnan is a king
and every virtuous woman a queen.
She was met at the railroad statioifby
Sec. Qresham, as the personal
representative of the President,
and escorted by two troops of U. 8*

furnishings aiul costly magnificence
are doubtless fully equal to
those to which she is accustomed at'

by her husband and the rest
of her suite, the gentlemen being
in full court costune, the Infanta
made u formal visit, to Pr#?siiloiit ami
Mrs. Cleveland, and delivered the,
message with which she had been
entrusted by the Queen Regent.
Saturday afternoon Mrs. Cleveland,
accompanied by all of tho ladies of
the cabinet who are in town, returned
the visit. To morrow evening a
State dinner will be given by President
and Mrs. Cleveland in honor of
-the country's royal guests. On
Thursday the Infanta and her party
will go to Now York ro remain sov- I
eral days, after which they will go
to the World's Fair to remain as
long as may suit convenience.
From tho time the party stepped
aboard of tho U. S. Dispatch boat
from Dolphin in New York harbor
they bocanio the guests of the U. S.
government and until thev shall take
their departute from our shores
every expense incurred in their en

About 000 delegates are in at ten- |

better evidence could bo givon of the
great public interest in '.his gathering

According to a decision of the U.
S. Supreme Court, dealing in options
on the future delivery of cotton is
not gambling, or at least that it was

against an Alabama customer
who had been speculating in cotton

Court decided the whole transaction
legal and Ttre customer will have to
pay his losses.
Healthy GirlsIt
is impossible to imagine a
pleasant home with a cross wife,
mother or sister, as its presiding
ymius. And it is a rule, with exceptions,
that good appetite and
sound sleep induce amiability. If
with these advantages, a girl or woman,
boy or man, is still snappish or
surly, why it must be duo to her or
his total depravity. But as yet this
soundness of bouy is one of the
things to be aimed at and striven
for, and the young girl very conscious?as
she should not be?of back,
and throat, and head, and nerves,
wishes she knew how to beautifully
healthy. Some things she should
not do; she shouldn't dose herself,
or study her case, or plungesudddenly
into vigorous exorcises. Moderation
is a safe rule to begin with, and,
indeed, to keepjon with. Moderation
in study, in work, in exercise, in
everything except fresh air, good
simple food nnd sleep.
Kew people have too much of
these. The average girl, at home,
can find no more sanitary gymnatica
than in doing part of the lightor
hou8ework. T*?is sort of exercise
has object, and interest and use,
which raises it above mere drill. Add
to this a merry romp with younger
brothers and sisters, a brisk daily
walk, the uso for a few moments
twice a day of dnmb bells in a cool,
airy room, and it is safe to predict a
steady advance toward that ideal
state of being in which wo forgot
our bodies.and just enjoy ourselves.

COL. DONALDSON'S lyOI'LY |
TO TIIIO II10 AIM, I CHIT.
Col. Donaldson lias sent 'he following
reply to an editorial in the
Piedmont Headlight to that paper
for publication, and requests that it
be published also in the Cotton
Plant:
To tho Editor of the Headlight:
Vour issue of tho 12th inst. has
just heen handed me. In your
comments upon my reply to 44ov.
Tillnvon's attack upon mo you say
"and we further ask Col. Donaldson
can he advocate Alliance principles
and then indorse tho nomination of
a man at such variance with them,
as Mr. Cleavland is known to be."
Again ,you say?referring to my
advocacy of Mr. Clevland?"this
is the only porton of Col. Donaldson's
letter 111 which tho Alliance
men of our State are interested."
Well, there is no accounting for individual
opinion in this matter, 1 am
glad to believe, it is not,and as I will
show ought not, to bo the opinion of
intelligent Allianceraen generally.
In the first place you start out on
false premises and discover the fact
that you are ignorant of the first
principles of the Alliance in that you
mix up in a conglomerated mass the
Alliance with politics, without even
an attempt to discriminate or distinguish
tho one from the other, and
just such confusion of terms and ,
misleading statements, as you in (
dulge in, as to the purposes, principles
and aims of the Alliance, is do
ing more harm to the Order, in tho
honest attempts that are being made
through it, to hotter the condition of :
tho farmer than, perhaps, anything ,
else. Whether intentional or not,
such strenuous efforts on the part of
newspapers to direct and control the
Alliance in politief, make them, (
though professed friends, the worst
enemies the farmer has.
You say the only thing tho Al liance
is interested in is my endorsement
of Mr. Cleveland. Do you suppose
you can thus lead Alliancemen
who road your paper, to believe that
it is of no interest to them, when the
President of the United States is ,
told that the President of the South
Carolina Farmers' Alliance is not fit
to hold office? Most of the members ,
of the Alliance are 21 years old and
will be apt to make up their own
1 . A I 1
minus as u> inai.
Now what about your apparent
ignorance of the first principles of
the Alliance? If you will turn to
page 0 of the Ritual you will Hud
that when a candidate is presented
for membership the Pros''dent repeats
those words to him: "Before you
proceed it will be necessary that you
take on yourself a solemn obligation
which I assure, will not conflict with
the freedom of your political or religious
views. With this assurance
are you w iling to proceed?" In the
fac? of these words, with which
every member is familiar, you pre- 1
sumo upon the ignorance or political
prejudice which you evidently sup
pose to exist in the Alliance in undertaking
to arraign me exercising
my freedom, as a citizen, in politics. Suppose
Mr. Cleveland has not endorsed
the Ocala platform. Did any
one of the other candidates for the
Presidency do so, except Weaver?
Three of our delegates to Chicago
voted for Ilill. Has he ever given
tho remotest intimation that he fa
vored tho Ocala platform? If not,
why not arraign Governor Tillman, ,
Senator Irby and B. P. Perry for
voting for a man so 4<at variance
with Alliance demands?" Thirteen
of our delegates to Chicago voted
for Boise. Ilavo you ever heard that
no favored a single plank in tno
Ocala platform? If not, why have
you not cited theso thirteen men to
trial for not supporting the candi
date who was in accord with the
Ocala demands, namely: Weaver?
If you think tho words of tho Ritual
which I havo quoted are of no force
or effect, and that the Alliance hinds
men's consciences, why don't you
cemo out squarely and say so and
admit that you think the Alliance
ought no longer stand as the only
pure and unadulterated farmers' organization,
for their distinctive pro*
lection and benefit, hut become a political
party a freo omnibus for the
transportation of demagogues and
political dead beats into office?
111 your effort to play upon tho
supposed prejudices and credulity
of the people, you lay great stress
on certain instruction.11 of tho May
convention and would make believe
that everybody know just how every
delegate would act and vote when
they got to Chicago. It was found
however, that tho delegation worked
and voted for throe different candidates
and yet 1, who was not a delegate
and could not vote, and was
not instructed in any way, you
would hold up to gaze, and have the
people believe, was the onlv man
who violated trusts and deceived
the people.
With such facts before thoin, is
it supposed that the Allianco on the
people will fail to see the organized
political persecution that is now
being directed against me?
I have, from *the beginning, believed
tnat Mr. Cleveland stood
%
if our Country."

nearer to our views than any other
Democratic candidate mentioned
for the Presidency, and 1 gave the
reasons for that belief to the public
as early as 18U1, a copy of which I
enclose and trust that you, having
so severely criticised me, will ro pub
lish as a matter of justice. I nave
no apology to make to you or to anybody
else for my course in politics
or in the Alliance, but when tit?
Parmer's Alliance is lugged in and

for political purposes, I fool that I
would l>o recreant to the trusts reposed
in nie as its head if I failed
to defend those principles. 1 have
tried wherever I have gone in the
8tate to impress Alliancemen with
the fundamental doctrine of the
Alliance that it is noil partisan in
politics and that its membership is
entirely free, so far as the Alliance
is concerned, in political or religious
views. I have great respect for my
brethren who have honest convictions
and the courage of those convictions
in politics, whether they
agree with my views or not, hut cannot
say as much for those who de
Uounce Alliancemen as holding
"with those Wall street gold kings"
when they themselves boast of voting
the same party ticket. If you ask
who is meant, I reply, "thou art
the 110111." You denounce Alliancemen
who believe in the People's
party, which opposes "those Wall
street gold kings,'' utul then witn
another Hop of your political wings
you warm with ;i long crow the A1
liancemou against me for supporting
thcMiouiinee of the Democratic
party, whom you hoast of having
supported as a party man. You
even sought for and delighted in tho
privilege of bearing upon your own
person the electoral vote of South
Carolina to Washington to be counted
for a man "whoso success you say
means utter repudiation of our demands."
Is this not a fair specimen of what
you call "idiotic inconsistency?"
Methuselah was tho oldest man and
Moses was the meekest man, therefore
David slew Cioliath, is about the
style of logic that you employ when
dealing with tho subject of the
Alliance and its relation to politics.
Allow me to suggest that there is
ipiite enough intelligence in tho Allianco
to meet the demands laid
upon it by recent events, in its own
way and at tho proper time.
Yours truly,
M. Ii. Donai.son.

I ho temperature of the fore part
of tho week was cxtrenily low, causing
light frost in exposed localities
in western counties, which did considerable
damage. The cool nights
have injured cotton greatly, much
of it dying out. Cut worms continue
to play havoc with corn and
young cotton. The outlook is discharging
for cotton and oats, hut
more assuring, however, for corn and
wheat.
The past few days the tnaxitim
temperature has reached 00 or above
witli a correspondingly high minium
giving a mean of from 70 to 77
degress, which is good cotton weather
and a great improvement has been
noticed in all crops. The rainfall

some of the coast counties and along
the Georgia border. vVhat little
rain fell was on the 10th, and except
in Greenville and Spartanburg counties
was generally less than one quarter
of an inch.
A continuance of the hot weather
is badly nocdcd with occasional
showers.
Along the Georgia border the
o n
temperature has been too low for
cotton much of which is dying. The
cut worms are still at work on corn
and young Cotton and doing great
injury. Com looks well except on
low lands. Oats aro poor but some
improvement has taken place, some
early being cut. Pastures are begining
to fail. Much cotton reported
red and small suffering from
"black frg" or "sore shin." In regard
to fruit reports are conflicting.
Oconoi county reports fruit in abundance,
while Anderson county re
ports much of it fulling off the trees.
Ahbevillo county says that
fruit and berry crops arc good. Aiken
reports tnclohs doing well.
In the coast counties cotton is
growing slow and much dying out
and dwarfed by tho cold nights.
Corn doing well although worms
still at. work* Spring oats are suffering
for rain. Cotton planted in
Barkeley, to replaco that kjlled by
sand storms, is coming up nicely
but needs rain. Hundreds of our
loads of vegetables arc being ship
to northern inurkes from Charleston.
They are poorer and only about
three quarters of the yield of last

is about 4.50 inches behind the!
normal since March 1st.
Georgetown county reports that
replanting is in the order of the day
and that early peaches are droping
off, rotted and half ripe, from lack
of rain. < )ats are looking much
i improved.
Along tlio North Carolina border
| ccld nights have killed out a large
t amount of cotton ond cut worms are
increasing the damage. The plant
| is reported small and backward,
general I) of a poor stand and much
being plowed up and planted over.
In Union comity cotton is being
hoed out rapidly with only li crop
in the field* Corn and small grains
are doing well, oats improved somewhat
but are still a poor crop and
reported to be a failure in Lancaster
Co. In Pickens Co. frost killed
some cotton and turunod corn and

In the middle counties the weather
was too cold for cotton, tlio stand
is badly broken and fully 15 days

Tho chief trouble seems to be in

of county or town uispenser;

do not conflict. It is not obligatory
upon the county hoard of control to
appoint the one who has a majority

Ventilation of Bedrooms.
The proper arrangement of draughts
for t he ventilation of sleeping
rooms has perplexed all. One thing
however, is certain. It has proved
by actual experiment that a layer of
air lies against the walls which is
subject to verj little movement,
even when there is a strong circulation
in the middle of the room. It
is, therefore, important that a bed
should not he placed close to the
wall. If kept there during the daytimo,
it should bo moved at least
several inches out into the room at
night. Alcoves and curtains should
be avoided. In an alcove inclosed
on three sides a lake of air forms,
which may be compared to the stagnant
pools often observed along ^ho
margins of rivers. A few" yards
away a rushing tide may be moviug
swiftly along, but these placid pools
are unruffled by the current.ton
