DURATION.
From February 6th, 1904 to June
11th, 1906 493 days.
TEIK KK8ULT.
(1 ) Japan has reacquired control
of Korea, establishing a protectorate,
and appointing an American, Durham
White Stevens, as adviser to the emperor,
Yi Ileui.
(2 ) Japan has regained possession
of Port Arthur and the Liaotung Peninsula,
and of such of Manchura as
will warrant its return to China, with
( "< pan doors" to the trade of the
world.
(3 ) International law has gained a
clearer knowledge than has before been
had of what constitutes "contraband
of war," and to what lengths a naval
olilcer may properly go in the "right
of search." Roth of these advances
have been made largely through the
prompt diplomacy of Secretary of
State Hay.
(4 ) Russia certainly will not get on
the P.icltic coast, the "ice-frco port"
for which she has so long been looking.

It Is regarded as of so much imporance
In that State that an associaIon
has been formed called "the Texs
State Alfalfa Growers' Association,"
i. E. Smith, of Sherman, is the
resident, and E. H. I'eters, of Cal
ert, is the secretary. Mr. Smith Is
he largest grower of alfalfa In Texas,
laving this year 1,200 acres under culivatlou,
as shown in the report pub
Ished in The News and Courier on
:0th instant.
It has been proved by the crops
jrown at the Experiment Station that
t can be grown in the State to advantage,
as orops of the last three
vears are now growing, as well as that
)f 1900. The official returns show
;liat in 1903 the Importation in and
through Charleston for the first seven
months of Eastern and Western hay
averaged In value over $10,000 per
mouth, much of whioh will not compare
with alfalfa hay for stock of all
finds. The Agricultural Society of
South Carolina has decided to offer a
prize of one hundred ( 100) dollars for
the best outturn of sound, dry, alfalfa
hay on five acres, and fifty dollars for
the best on one acre, cut and cured
luring the year 1900.
As the early fall is the best seasou
for planting alfalfa in the South
(about the last of September, aud as
the laud requires thorough preparation
before planting, as well as high ferti.
/. .tion, the best means to accomplish
this is to sow the land with cow peas
with heavy application of fertilizers,
which should be done at this time.

Master ot tho Black Boa.
A dispatch from Odessa under date
if July 7 says tho Knlaz Potemkln,
the mutinous Russian battleship, still
occupies the centre of the stage here.
The authorities are well informed
ibout her movements and her ODera
Lions at tbc various black sea ports
Form the topic of continuous speoulaLion
and comment in business and

prevails here that she will not return

ler doings interestedly, but not
soupled with any particular alarm.
The fact that the Knlaz Potemkin
s still at large, cruising in the Black
lea, threatening ports and holding up
iteamers and other craft is beginning
.o bring oritlcism upon the naval au
horlties, owing to their apparent
ilowness and lack of energy In pursung
and terminating her piratical
tareer. The torpedo boats which it is
eported are trailing the Kniaz Po,emkin
have done nothing, although
ihe whereabouts of the battleship has
tever been a secret. The Black sea Is

nruuiiBHuay ana wnion is popularly
upp(S8(l to be following the renegade
or the purpose of effecting her surrenler
or sinking her.
If the fleet is In earnest it oan caaiy
meet the Knlaz Potemkin within a
omparatlvely few hours. The belief
s general, however, and there is genral
confirmation of it, that the main
llrtloulty oodfrontlng tbe fleet regardng
the Knlaz Potemkin lies In the
act that the crews of the ships are
trongly disinclined to engage the
nutlnous battleship. It is reported
m good authority that their orews
lave actually refused to attack her.
n the meantime commerce on the
hack sea is being slowly resumed and
oastwlse and other steamers are clear- (
ng from Odessa on their former schelule.

CRIMINALS OF DEEPEST DYE. <
_____ i
Huob Were tho Parties Ijjnohcd by [
Mob at WatkliiHville. :
Mr. S. W. Bailey, of Athens, Ga., ,
tells a thrilling story that throws i
light on the character of some of the 1
parties that went to their death a few
days since at the hands of the Watklnsvlllo
mob. The story as told by
Mr, Bailey indicates that these parties
must have at the time of Its occur
rcnce been planning jmt such a murder
as in the case of Mr. and Mrs.
Ilo'brooks.
Mr. Bailey kept a store on the Scull
Shoals road, a few miles from Watktnsvllle,
and near the scene of the
llolbrook tragedy. He moved from
thereto Athens last January. One ,
night about four yeais ago Mr. Bailey
says that four negroes came to his j
store about ten o'clock and in the
number were Rich and Lewis Robin- j
son, two of the negroes who killed the |
Holbrooke couple.
His wife was in the store, and they ,
attempted in many ways to And out
where she kept her money, by asking ,
her to change a twenty dollar bill. ,
She suspected danirer and eallnrl t.n
her husband. The neKroes went out. t
Mr. Bailey got his pistol and sat down ,
In the rear of the store. They came |
back again, and saw him there and
then left. ,
Last December, Just before Christ- ,
mas, a negro named Wiley Durham ,
came to the store about midnight and ]
wanted Mr. Baiiey to get up and go (
into the store to sell him some artl- ]
cles. He was told that it was too late |
to open the store and that he could'nt j
get what he wanted. He was accom- j
pauled by another man, and when Mr.
Bailey went to the window and looked i
out he recognized that man as L jn J. f
Aycock, the white man who was shot t
to death by the mob a few nights t
since In Watklnsvllle.
Mr. Bailey had just Hold his farm t
and was was getting ready to go to t
Athens, and at that time he had the a
money realized from the sale of his ^
farm In his house. c
The negr j who was with Aycock at jj
that time was one of the negroes at \
one trtme suspected of the Holbrook
murder, bnt la|,er on released. Mr.
Bailey Is satisfied that he would have
had trouble had he opened his store at ^
that time.

At a meeting of the executive com- j(
ilttce of the Southern Cotton assoct- g!
Lion held in Memphis June 29th it t
as decided to recommend to every as j
Mjiation, State, oounty and township,
) erect warehouses at once wherever ^
ecessary. They further reootrmend g
lat this be done by local capital if it
e possible. This plan of erecting t
arehouses will be taken up by every v
tate in the cotton belt so that there c
iay be a sutliolent number of ware- y
ouses ready for cotton by fall to .
uarantee organizing a mutual lnsuruce
company. The play of this in (
nranee is as follows: j
Eich warehouse is to become through c
he mutual insurance plan security j
sr every other warehouse belonging
a or under the control of the South- 1
rn Cotton assxjlatiou. In this way
lie insurance will be reduced to a J
omlnal sum; and will guarantee aholute
tire protection without being 1
orced to subscribe to all of the plans
nd speo'ticatlons of the Southeastern '
?ari(T association.
The State says Mr. E. D. Smith, i
resident of the State association and
member of the executive committee r
f tiie southern association, is of course
nthuslastio over the plan Mr. Smith
*as in the cltv Wednesday, having J
ome down from Greenvillo. He talkd
freely about the plan.
"Hankers, merchants and business It
Don of all vocations are solicited to
ake stock In these warehouses," said '
dr. Smith. "This will solve the probetn
of cheap storage and cheap insur,nce
and will save to the farmers and
mslness men of the south, themselves,
dl the money that Is now paid to forilgn
corporations for Insurance.
"It will be Impassible for me to '
each each county In person, but 1
lope every county paper will copy this
etter, and every organization buildng
warehouses will notify this otllce
is soon as It Is assured.
"The Planters' Holding and Comnisslon
company Is now ready for busness,
and we hope that all farmers
ind business men in the south will
ake stock In this company, so that In
sonjunctlon with our warehouses we
nay have a fund from which money
;an be gotten at a low rate of Interest
jo take up the surplus and distressed
iotton If there be any such on the
narket. To sum the whole matter
jp, our plan Is this:
"The cotton farmers and southern
people will build their own warehouses,
organizing each State, and get a
jharter for doing a commission busl
ness, and then every warehouse in the
eutlre cotton belt carries its pro rata
ihare of the risk of every other one,
io that If no cotton Is burned our injurance
will cast nothing; and taking
a ten year average. If we can get
enough warehouses built and enough
cotton stored, the estimate Is that It
will not exceed 5 cents p.r bale for In
burance. The farmers themselves, having
taken stock in the warehouses, will
have their storage charges reduced to
a. minimum In t.hat Mioir ...111
-- ?. v OtVVIV TTlll,
If managed correctly, very nearly pay
for their storage; and If sulllolent
funds are pooled by the southern cotton
grower and the southern people,
and It is managed correctly, there will
he a loan fund sutllclent to carry the
weak and distressed cotton at a low
rate of interest, thereby giving the
south and the southern planter abso
lute control of the marketing of his
cotton.
' Tuis plan appeared tlie most feasible,
and 1 think will appeal to the
business judgment of everyone, and
we hope that the warehouse feature
will be pushed vigorously.
"The Southern Cotton association
also decided to ask every man, wo
man and child la the south, who today
feel that they are under obligation to
the Southern Cotton association for
the present rise in cotton, we ask
them to contribute one nickle apiece.
All South Carolinians who feel so dls
posed and thluk they can atiord this
much for this great southern cause,
:an forward their nickle to Mr. F. H.
Hyatt, treasurer of the Southern Cotton
association, South Carolina division,
Columbia, S. C. The association
s in debt, and thinks that this is a
list and equitable way of appealing
jO the people for aid.
"At Greenville Tuesday when this
ippeal was made there was a prompt
md generous response. We hope that
,hero will be a generous response from
>he people at large.
"I want once more to congratulate
,he people of my State add the south
n general upon the magnificent
achievement of the Southern Cotton
issoclatlon. For once in the history
if the south we seem to be in the sadHe;
and my advice to the people at
arge Is to sit steady and ride easy."

1 Negro Shot Dead by a Young Man
at Corclole.
At Cordele, Ga., a negro whose
lameis unknown, was killed recently
y Gus Singletary, a white boy of 15
ears, who lives four miles southwest
f Cordele. The circumstances were
ather unusual. The negro oame to the

The family consists of two boys, one
oung lady and a mother. He asked
or matches. The man looked susplious
and one of the boys told him to 1
0 to a negro house, about one mile i
Istant, and get what he wanted. He i
sft, but returned In about one hour, n
fhioh was 1 o'clock Tuesday morn- '
ag, and said that he could not get 8
he matches. '
The hoy told him to leave the prem- a
;es and not return. This the intruder I
efused to do and stated that he was a
oing to enter the house. In the mean- t
Ime the older boy of the two had \
barted out to get the negro, to whom c
he unknown man was referred, In i
rder that he might get ttie man c
way. The negro saw him leave and it t
1 supposed he thought the ladles un- a
rotected. He walked deliberately up d
d the front door carrying a heavy C
tick. t
When he was about ten feet away c
he younger boy threw the door open
nd fired, one load of No. 7 soot from
shotgun going almost through the
eart of the man. The older boy hear- e
ig the shot, ran to the scene with a F
rawn pistol and finding the negro v
Tithing in the death agony fired two o

This popular poem was first oalled
The Bridge Over the Charles," by
a author, Henry Wadsworth Longillow,
(born 1807, died 1882 ) The
Itle appears to have bee )me abbrevlted
through his own habit of referlog
to It, for greater convenlecc, as
The Bridge." The bridge, which Is
he subject of the poem was the old
ne, known as West Boston bridge,
)cated at the foot of Cambridge
breet. ar d now in process of demoll- (/
Ion, to make way for a modern one. h
n Longfellow's youth the bridge was ,,
robably more generally a resort for ?
loonltght rumlnators, comparatively
peaking, than It has been of late
ears, for then, the only means of
ransportation to and from Boston
vas a coach, and, as the fare was 25
ents, comparatively few people rode,
til that Is known of the genesis of
'The Bridge" Is found In LoDgfelow's
diary, where, under date of
)stober 9, 1845, he records having
inished It that forenoon, and again, ,
in October 17, mentions haviug finaly
retouched It.
stood on the bridge at inidnlnghb,
As the clocks werestrlklng the hour,
\nd the moon rose over the city,
Behind the dark church tower.
[ saw her bright reflection
In the waters under me,
.like a golden goblet falling
And sinking into the sea.
\nd as far as in the hazy distance 1
Of that lovely night in June, 1
The blaze of the (laming furnace
Olearned redder than the moon.
\mong the long, black rafters
The wavering shadows lay
\nd the current that came from the
ocean
iecmed to lift and bear them away;
\s, sweeping and eddying through
them,
Rose the belated tide,
And, streaming into the moonlight.
'J'lie seaweed Hooted wide.
And like those waters rushing,
Among the wooden piers,
A Hood of thoughts came o'er me
That tilled my eyes with tears.
llovv often, O how often,
In the days that had gone by,
1 had stood on that bridge at midnight
And gazed on that wave and sky!
How often, O how oficn,
l had wished that the ebbing tide
Would hear me away on its liosom
O'er the ocean wild and wide!
For my heart was hot and restless,
And my life was full of care,
And the burden laid upon me
Seemed greater than 1 could hear.
Hut now It, has fallen from me,
It is buried in the sea;
And only the sorrows of others
Throws its shadow over me.
Yet whenever I cross the river
On its bridge with wooden piers.
Like the odor of brine from the ocean,
Comes the thought of other years.
And I think how many thousands
Of care-encumbered men.
Each bearing his burden of sorrow,
Have crossed tht bridge since then.
I sec t he long procession
Still passing to and fro,
The young heart hot and restless
And the old subdued and slow!
And forever and forever,
As long as the river Hows,
As long as the heart ha* passions,
As long as life has woes;
The moon and its broken reflection
And it shadows shall appear,
As t he symbol of love in heaven,
And its wavering image here.
A Memory of June.
Somewhere, a down the stream of Time,
Amid tlie isles of June, 1 know,
A d*?y is anchored, over which
The sweetest winds of momory
blow.
The earth was vestured as a bride,
In richcstBdics and brightest bloom;
The plushing breeze that kissed her
cheek
Was slumberous with its rich perfume.
White clouds sailed slowly o'er the
deep
Of heaven's blue, serenely still,
And not a sound of discord broke
The harmony of Nature's will.
Yet, faint and far, through leafy
aisles,
Was heard the wood-bird's mellow
call?
The lappingsound of woodland stream,
Or rippling laugh of waterfall.
O, friend, who stood with me that day,
Do you recall the matchless morn
When, from the Leathcn tome, for us
One white, red-lettered page was
torn
Hands clasping hands, heart spoke to
heart,
t In language all unknown 'til then,
And from their Undine sleep our sou's
A woke to dreams, how mad! llow
vain!
I know not what life holds for you?
Our ways w^re parted long ago;
And far, o'er pathless seas, our souls
Have drifted with the ebb and flow
Yours may have reached some sheltered
bay
And, anchored safe in sunny cove,
Have long since ceased to think of
me?
Blest, by some happy, heartsome
love.
While I, the sport of idle waves,
Toss still in Ocean's stormy strife;
Par, far from rest and peace: for me,
Love is the saddest thing in life.
Yet, anchored In those "isles of
bloom,"
That sweet June heyday lingers yet*
\nd time, nor change, nor lapsing
hours
Can ever cause Its sun to set.
