KEPOKT C)?^ THE COMMITTEE IN
\ THE
CltKIOUlON CAHE.
Hit Statement of the Jnvestigation
of the Matter by the
Committee.
The Rev. C. W. Crelghtcn, editor
of the Christian Appeal, published at
Greenwooo, has Issued In his D&Der
the following statement In regard to
the Investigation of the complaints
against him:
"We cannot at this time publish
the full details of the Investigation of
the oomplahlAj made by the presiding
'U elders against the editor of this paper.
We shall, however, publish enough to
give the public ho insgnt into the
methods employed in that proceeding
"On March 21 last the committee
met In the Methodist Church at this
plac?. W. T. Duncan, by virtue of
h<8 (til .re, acted as chairmar f M B.
K >lly served as secretary, lu addi
cou W. T Duncau bad retained the
servloea of a stenographer?a very
competent one.
"We were accon panled by our
counsel, tbe Rev. J. W. Daniel and
the Rev A. J. Cauthen, and Miss
Myrtle Davis, our stenographer."
"The committee was composed of
L Peter Stokts, a cousin of one of the
^ preiid.ug elders; W. A. Masseabeau,
a nephew of mrtber presiding eldtr.
whose term of cilice is fmbractd in
the period covered bv the criticisms of
the editor of the Christian Appeal,
and who la also under J. W. Kllgo,
one of the & mplalnants, and pastor
of Ki'go's family, and also that of
Bishop Duncan, w^o has been active
In this matter; T. C. O'Dell, who
served on the ccmmlttee at Conference
' When the committee met W. T.
Duncan, by an arbitrary ruling, which
Is contrary to the law and practice of
the Methodist Church, exciudtd Dr
Daniel, the counsel of the accused;
the Rev. A. J. Cauthen, his brotherin-law,
ard then also tried to exclude
Miss Davis, his stenographer.
''The presiding elders made two
complaints.
"1. Falsehood and slander. To
substantiate that charge they produo
ed ooples of the Christian Appeal containing
an editorial on 'RlDgs and
R suits,' 'How the Scheme Works,'
'clerical Diurnal inn '
"2. Immorality. To substantiate
that charge they produced copies i f
the paper containing communications
signed by 'A Pastor,' 'John S. Moore,'
'A Layman,' ' n Old Layman' an*
'Ohas. P. Hodges.' The alltged immorality
consisted in publlstiing In
the Christian Appeal the commuuica
ttuns named.
"We do sanded the right to cross
examine Me accusers. Finally four
of th*m were tut up. During the
cross-examinations the presiding eld
ers repeatedly refused to answer and
they were told by W. T. Duncan that
If they thought the questions "incriminated"
them they ueed not answer,
and they did not. On other
important matters they answered,
"don't remember" and other similar
replies. We were oulv allowed to
ct ss-examlD? four. That concluded
the testimony. We were engaged
until April 12 in this matter, not in
eluding the period of adjournment
When the testimony of tue witnesses,
J. W. Kt go anu VV. P. Meadors, as
taken by the stenographer was read,
they denied it; they were offered the
privilege to correct it in any particular
way they pleased; they decdned to
make any corrections and then refused
to sign their testimony. Trie witnesses
had been kept in the room over
the protest ofthe accused and
prompted each oifter during the examination.
And yet th? y refused to
approve and sign the testimony S
"We demanded of W. T. Duncan
that he present their testimony to
them for their signatures, but he refused
and, 011 his own motion, ruled
their testimony out. That left the
committee without a word of testimony
before them. And yet they re
ported a trial necessary.
"There Is a great dial more that
we would like to publish, but It is
tbougbt advisable not to do so at present
That a man should he charged
with immorality for publishing nr minaMoris
of such men as John S. Moore
mad (Jhnrles P H dges over their own
signatures and similar oommunications
of 'A Pastor,' 'A Layman,' etc.
will be ast( unding to Intelligent men;
that be suould be clarged with false
hood and slander In criticising methodsand
practices which have given rise
to dissatisfaction and oomplalnts in
the Oburoh for years will bear but
one construction and admit of only
1 one conclusion by a lib .rty-loving
_ people; tbat a trial should be reported
necessary without a word of testlmony
by a committee, the majority
of whom are blood kin to presiding
elders and their predecessors In office,
will open the eyes of the blind and inspue
the Ignorant.
"We are not destitute of feeling,
but we infinitely. prefer to be in the
place of tne editor of the Ohrlstlai
Appeal, with that report against him
than in the place of the men wh<
made it."
TarrtfT for K?Tfnn?i Only.
There Is no crop raised in the Southem
.states ..that is pip tec ted by the
tariff from foreign tax on tobacco, but
it dees not protect the grower, for like
wheat and corn, the price is fixed by
the exporting demand, there being a
surplus raised of all those products,
which must be fold in the markets of
the world in competition with other
countries which also raise a surplus.
The price of these products for home
consumption is therefore largely fixed
by what the surplus exported will
bring. Cotton, the money crop of the
South, is on the free list and there is
absolute free trade in that staple.
But everything the Southern planter
buys is protected by the tariff and
is taxed from 25 to 175 per cent, which
prevents mosti people from buying the
imported goods on account of this tariff
tax being added to the price the imported
goods cost abToad. The trusts
and combines that manufacture similar
goods here take advantage of tills
tariff taxation and add to the profits
they charge for their products nearly
what the tariff tax would be on the
imported articles over and above what
would be a fair profit. So the American
consumer, be he planter, or whoever
he is, is compelled to pay the
nusis aim corporations pretty nearly
the same tax that would be paid on
the imported goods. The difference being
that instead of the government
getting the tax the trusts and corporations
collect it in increased protit.
As some of t lie border Southern
states elected Republicans to represent
them in Congress, the voters must
have been led to believe that the protective
tarilT was an advantage to
them and that trust high prices were
a blessing in disguise. But with wheat
corn, tobacco and cattle and protected
by the tariff and yet selling at a low
m ice, w hile cotton entirely unprotected
selling at a fairly good price, the
Republican argument that the tariff
protect the planter and farmer is
shown to be but campaign talk and
not borne out #by actual conditions.
The ideal condition for the planter
and farmer is to have the unobstructed
right to sell in thedearest market
and buy in the cheapest market. That
can only tie brought about by the Democratic
plan, of a tariff for revenue
only, to produce enough money to run
the government, when honestly and
economically administered.
T|.p lii hliyiHi <\re Wplomno.
A Republican Co? gross is a rich field
for the corporations and trust to get
in their work, and when a bill is pending
that is intended to plunder the
people their lobbyists gather around
the corridors of the Capitol like buzzards
at a least. When Mr. Carlisle
and Mr. Crisp were speakers o' a Democratic
House, the corrupt lobby was
eliminated. Rut how different now.
R? c ting the events on the consideration
of t/iie Ship-subsidy b 11 by the
House Committee on Merchant Marine,
aim Fisheries, a New York newspaper
sa .s: 'Lobbyists overrun the committee
room and their leader occupies a
\ I ice at t he head of the table prompting
Grosvenor, Littletield and Minor
wiii-n <iu> wnness argues against subsidy."
Comment on such a national
disgrace is unnecessary. Cut voterscan
draw their own conclusions about who
to vote for next Fall, for it is hardly
necessary to say that all the I>emocratic
members of t he committee are
opposed to the bill at d every Democratic
member of the House is in line
to vote against it. Why President
Roosevelt recommended this corrupt
legislation is a mystery, but that he
encouraged the lobbyists and grafters
to corrupt bis part: is certain.

PLANTINU AH ORCHARD.
It maj be that soma of the readers
of these notes arc planning to put out
an orchard thin spring, large or small,
as the case may be. A few suggestions '
gained from practical experience may
be of usaintance In doing the work so
na to ! eture !n a measure satisfactory
results. First, the varieties planted ,
should be few and should be secured
ou the recommendation of /our nearest
reliable nurseryman. When stock is
bought from a distant firm or of an
itinerant peddler whose location Is unknown.
there is danger that trees may
prove not only unsulted to your lati- *
tude, but also untrue to name. Almost |
any soil that will produce an abundant (
field crop will be found suitable for
orchard purines. The location is a
matter of secondary importance, al- *
though it Is usually considered that a 1
nortlieust slope is preferable for the J
purpose. The writer has found that a
bolt of timber skirting his orchard 011
the west and south has served as a c
splendid wind break and been the
means of saving a large amount of '
fruit that would otherwise have been
blown from the trees. The ground
should be put into good condition before
the trees are planted, and if the '
orchard p'an is a large one?an acre
or more?the hard work of planting '
may ne greatly ngntened by a plowing
of furrows of tt good depth in which
the trees may be planted. They should
be set In rows north and south, which
provides protection frotn the sun when
they have attained any size. If they
are set so as to form rows east and
west the cultivation of the orchard
for the tlrst few years is greatly facilitated.
The trees should he planted
from twenty-live to thirty-live feet
apart each way. depending somewhat
upon the variety, and be set in the
earth from live to six inches lower than
they stood in the nursery and should
tilt slightly to the southwest, the object
of this being to have the tree shade
Its own trunk during the hottest portion
of the afternoon.
During an experience covering several
years we have found that the
greatest source of danger to the orchard
and particularly to young trees
is the root borer. The beetle lays lis
eggs on the trunk of the tree Just
above the surface of the ground during
May and early June, and these
hatch during the month following, the
baby borers being so small as to lie almost
Invisible. They work In the tree
near the place of entrance the lirst
season, bore down and to one side the
second year and early in the third take
an upward course, emerglflfc from the
tree during the latter part of May and
June at a point three or four inches
above the ground through a perfectly
round hole about an eighth of an inch
in diameter. If the borer is not discovered
because of grass or earth
about the trunk, the fate of the troe is
practically sealed. Three borers in a
five-year-old tree will kill it outright
in three years or will at least weaken
it so It becomes the inevitable victim
of the first heavy windstorm that
strikes It. While washes of different
IHnrlil ora crf\ ml lt? fholr n'n tt tira Ko vo H
found nothing ho uure us u close ex- ^
amluatlon of eueh tree with n sharp
Jackknlfe. A careful scraping of the t
earth from the trunk to an Inch or *
more below the surface will show at *
once If borers are at work. If the '
bark shows green and firm nil the way 1
round and there are no evidences of *
the sawdust-like excreta. It Is pretty '
conclusive proof that there nre no bor- '
ers at work. If found, they should Ik? '
cut out and killed. A sharpened slen- *
der twig will often reach them If they
are bedded deep In tho bark. Grass '
and weeds should be kept hoed from '
the trunks of the trees, so as to leave
a clean spot about two feet In diain- '
eter. 1
For the flrst live years and longer, If '
the trees do not Interfere, crops should
be grown among tho trees?beans, corn '
or other crops that will not seriously 1
rob the soil, yet which will Insure a '
thorough cultivation. At eight or nine 1
years It is well to put the orchard into '
clover or alfalfa or other nitrogenous '
cover crop. Even under these circum- '
stances it should be plowed every third
or fourth year to kill out the blue
grass which Is sure to creep In. The
last crop or growth of the season 1
should be allowed to stand to serve as <
a catch for the snow, which will nro- <
tect the roots of the trees. As winter
comes on precautions must be taken to
protect the trees from the mice and 1
rabbits, wire screening or wood shields
being most frequently used. Keep ull 1
stock out of the orchard.
TOO MUCH ROPE),

In life that are counterparts of the i

our own flesh and bone, are often allowed
to gradually slip away from us i
and out from under our control, all be- i
cause we love them so much and hate

they are our boys nnd girls, and they

COTTON IS KINli.
r?!K SOUTHERN COTTON ASSOCIATION
WINS AGAIN.
Foreign Spinners Visit the Sonth to
Confer and ook Into the
Condition.
Tnfc Times says President K. D.
Smith of the state ootton association,
md national organizer, spent Saturlay
n 1 kht In Florence. He had Just
'etruned from a conference at Charotte
with the representatives of the
European spinners association who
lave come over here tc look Into the
sondltioDB of cotton. It is the plan
>f the association and Is approved by
>he representative of the foreign spin
iers to sell direct from the assoc<a
ion to the wnlnnem. Then says Mr.
>mlth, the New York and Liverpool
xchanttes nuav put what figures they
please on the boards, the farmers and
manufacturers will deal on other
;erms suitable to themselves. This
icheoce, while Utopian in appearance
h worklnt( out In a thoroughly prao
/leal form.
Mr. Smith calls attention to the
'act this is the first time in the hlsiory
of the country that such a de.il
ihk beeu possible between the proiucer
ard consumer, the first time
hat repre-entatlvts of the foreign
lountrles have come over here to meet
ind make terms with these people
'or the purchase of any product and
t Is a victory for the association that
s nut to be discounted. It shows
<hat the association Is the neatest
lommercial power on tarlh and must
)e recogniz d.
it had been thought that these
e present all ves of the spinners were
iruught over here, to buy up J&i da for
European syndicates to grow cott n
or themselves, but Mr. Smith show
5(1 them so plainly the errors In the
inures that had been submitted to
them to show that cotton could be
naae at a paotit for six cents thai
they have have changed their minds
In the matter of the selling of the
lext crop at prices now ell :red Mr.
Smith said that he was not worried.
10 Knew that every itlort was being
nade to buy up as much or it as pos
uble but be expected to get praotical
control of the crop for the association
ad he knew thai only a small proportion
of the crop would be delivered to
these contracts. He expected rood
;o Bee In thorough organ;zition the
warehouse and holding companies
through the south and be fully expected
next fall to be able to take
jvery bale off the market without
training the farmer or the local
lanks. He f xpected in fact, to get the
itraln off of the local baDks which are
iow carrying it to the dfsoomfort of
ither buslr e^s. He would soon have
lomething ready for the press on this
ln?.
Mr. Smith is very enthusiastic over
ibe prospects for the association and
ts abl ity to serve its purpose. The
rreaieat in ilcatlon of this was In the
'act that while so very few of those
who met with great promises at New
Orleans a year and a half ago helaout
n the crucial tests that the association
were subjected to nearly all of
them and now coming back one by one
ind the work is going on j ist as before.
The association does not have to seek
rlends now. those who want to te
irlends are seeking it.
lie called attention to tbe fact tbat
ne could now sit In his crtice in Co
lumbla and in ji few minutes speak to
ivery stale dispensary in the country,

Information be Of uld get it into the

or North Cvolina just as

jVer the city of Colum -ia And in just
Dte form be wanted, each word or letter
italicised.
As an argument for raising our sup
plies at h< roe, Mr. Smith showed a
Time8' rej.orter a typical boll weevil,
compared with tbe T.xas specimen
ai.es, which he had taken <. fT the lapell
3f a gentleman's coat in Maysville.
The gentleman was standing by a car
load of western hay, from which undoubtedly
the weevil came. In such
ways an that the pest will come Into
this Htate to blast our coitcn fields and
we will wonder hew it happened.
A Boy Killed.
At Bethune on Saturday as a southbound
freight train was shifting cars
ear Main strpet, the 12-year-old son
of Mr. C. V. M^ers, a highly respected
farmer who livts a tew miles west
of here, was nin o*er by the train and
n-itamly killed*/1 From the testimony
>f Police man H or ton. who was toe

it sterns that the bov was running
across the railroad ou Main street
when the engine bumptd into the cars
which were standing on the crossing,
knocking him down, with the result
ibove stated. The sad accident cast a
