that the bottles, if sealed without the

phatic. In that case the agent of a

TIE WEATHERI AND OROPS.
1.
Valuable Inf'ormation to Those littes
ested in Fartuing Oporationts.
The following is the weekly bulloti
Issued by the weather bureau in C(
lumbia as to the condition of the crop
in this State :
CoLUMnA, S. C., Aug. 10, 1897.
The first of the week was hot an
sultry with desiccating winds, but o
the 6th there began a decided fall I
temperature with generally cloudy an
rainy weather for the remainder of th
week.
The moan temperature for the wool
averaged over one degree per da
above the usual, the weekly moai
having been 81 while the normal to
the same period is approximately 79.5
The normal temperature from now of
will decrease at the rate of about on
degree p- r week for the remainder o
the month. The maximum tempera
turo for the past week was 100 reporte<
from BIaufort on the 0th ; the mini
mum was 58 reported from Florence oi
the 7th.
There were scattered showers on tht
2nd accompanied by high winds an<
some hall in the eastern portions, an(
ou the 0th a general rain set in whict
covered the State from Oconee to the
sea, generally light over the woster"
counties and heavy over the contra
and southeastern counties. This rair
washed some lands badly in Barnwell
Saluda and Newberry. Nineteen placei
reported measurements for the wool
of less than an inch, 14 of from I to l
inches ; and 17 of over 2 inches, the
avorgo of all measurements being 1.5(
while the normal for the week is aboul
1.40.
The rain of the latter portion of the
week was generally needed, and as it
was followed by cloudy, cool weather
will prove highly bonoficial. The great
est amount reportbd was 4.23 at Char
loston.
There wore several winds notably
on the 2nd at Charleston and on the 6th
at various points in the northwestern
counties, the latter blowing down corn.
breaking fruit trees etc.
Hail fell on the 6th in Greenville,
Saluda and Laurons ; 2nd in Ban
burg ; Ist in Newborry (oing but little
injury and that conlinod principally to
Cotton.
Tihe weather during the greater
portion of the week was nearly or quito
clear aud generally cloudy on the last
two days, the average per contage of
sushine for the week was about 79,
which is considerably above the nor
mal.
The greater portion of the week was
hot and dry, and c rops over the eastern
por tions of the State lost condition very
fast, but tie general rain of the ith
came opportunoly and greatly revived
all fni ling vegetation and although the
weather became unusually cool, the
tenl)eraturc began to rise again before
any damuage resulted.
Yoing corn hiad begun to fail rapidly
but aside from the slight check in its
heretofore rapid growth its cond ition
was not mtaterially impaired. Some
leaves wore stil)u rued and daraged
as fodder. l'odder pulling is Iak
iug rapid )rogress. Corn is appar
ently tilling out quite vell, although
there are a nui her of report,s of the
Otr"s being smallr than usual.
The first, of the week was too hot
and dry for cotton which lost.condition,
due to excessive shedding of l'-aves,
squartes, and in a few instances, of young
blls. The plant turned yellow, and
a})ppared to bo dying. The greatest,
injury occ'rring] in lampton, l)or
Iiest.cr, C'olleton, I3.rkely, partions of
11 iamiitis burg, Orangeburir and Sumiter
Counties, but, reports of like dotoriora
th amie fr'om the eaistrn ptortioni of
the St ate generally and frome miany see
tionis of the wvestern portion.
I l'r'emature opening was also reported
ha,t this was largely checked by the
t,i moly r'ains and cooler, cloudy weather.
Il'iek ing has begun actively in the ox
trerme eastern counties, but will not be
general over the State for some time to
comou. in E.Igelleld county black sp)ots
have ap)peared on the boils, having the
appearance of rot, and atYecting the
tint anid soods. The disease is new to
the region, and is as yet not very pre
valent.
There arc many reports of excessive
" weed " without a corresponding pro
p)ortion of fruit, while small cottjn is
generally heavily fruit.:d.
The July crop is fully up to an aver
age over a large portion of the State,
ar.d in York, Anderson, and portions
of otrner we-stern counties raatter than
for rnany years. Traking the entire

irhe 'oniitioni of those w ho tdoponded
ton ttuci r labror for supjpor't for thomn
selv~es and their famiie ts was at that
timue a hope)tless, uinrequited dirudgery.
Ihave a vivid picture in rmy mind of
wor'k-pellle hang ing around the p)laces
.n?the ir-cn eptloymnt waiting oftten till
- nighii.it at the week's end, to recoivo
i the 1p0or 1p1 tance of wages they had
iJ Larned. T1hei r appear'ancc betokonod
tire hunger nd povert,y of their lives,
,and the hopielessness5 of thoe condi
L ion.
Aind alorng w it,h this was the political
subjection they had tto endure, which
kept them in a chrornic state of agita
tion and uinrest. About that time
.tower' looms for weavirg the worsted
cloths whichh formed the stale ti-ado of
Brad ford. my naieton adbe
first introduced. The work-people re
garded these as consigning them to
hopoless starvation and ruin, and at
mob destroyed the machines, as they
n believed, in self-defense. The Peter
loo riot and massacre in Manchester
a occurred about the same time, when
the starving people assemblod in pub
lie meeting to petition the Government
to give them some material and politi
a cal reliof,oand wore set upon by sol
n diers who rode tham down and sabred
them, killing and wounding without
L mercy.
ReligiOus matters wore In a similar
c condition. A State Church dominated
y everything; her leading ministers
a were lords temporal as well as spiritu
r al, and the great bluk of her clergy
were imere place holders, whose right
to minister was conferred by some
3 political patron, for political or family
I reasons, and whoso service was formal
and perfunctory, utterly devoid of any
I spiritual value or importance. The
- parson of the parish was the boon com
panion of the squire, and together they
managed to keel) the parishioners in
due humility, tnd suij ection.
In this connection I can claim for my
l worthy father an honorable record of
which I am more proud than if he had
worn a coronet and had bequeathed it
to me, as his son and heir. A large
I number of people were called dissen
ters because they refused to accept the
formulas of the State Church and
i worshipped God according to their
own conscience and separate from the
services of the Chur,h hv law estab
lished. My father belonged to this
number, and had joined a Church of
Congrogational or Indepondent order
in Bradford.
One of the burdon's dissenters had to
carry was what was called the church
rate, which was Imposed upon the
parish loners generally without refer
ence to whether they approved or at
tended the parish church or not. My
father hold a position in the town
whlhl gave iim the confidence of his
follow townsmen, who had hitherto
paid rate and grumbled, but had done
nothing to resist it. HI organized
an Opposition to it, and brought the
question to an issue by the refusal of
the parishioners in vestry assembled
to consent to the laying of a rate. Un
(er a mandam1us from the eclesiastical
court the church wardens attempted to
lay and collect a rate, which was re
sisted, and this led to a long litigation,
going from court to court for many
years, till at last, it reached the House
of Lords, the last appeal in the British
l',mplire, where the decision was made
that parishioners had the right to re
fuse to lay a church rate. This settled
the matter and put an end to a gross
injustice to the people, forever.
This was only one of the unequal
burdens which the people of Great
Iiritaiii were called to boar at that
timtne. Taxation crush(d every let-r
est andL conudition of life and con fo:-t.
l':ven God's light had to pay its qi".
to tihe chancelior of the ex ,r(ltlor.
The excess (if windows in a hoise itbove
a number barely sullieient for its in
hatbitilts to avoid tumbling over each
other had to be taxed. ECvLry news
paper was required to have a govern
uent staup pupon it, and everything in
it which at governmnut, ollicial couldl or
wanted to find as an advertisement
had to contribute to the national funds.
These are but speciilens of the way in
which tho aristocratic government
vulture gnawed the vitals of the peo
ple, as at that tim the science of taxa
tion was hardly beyond what we as a
people in Aimerica are barely as yet
escaped from.
T'ho imi.,t uel: ad inhIuman, how
ever, were what were called the corn
laLws. w hieh tax''d t.he f,ee of the peo
Iloe, as it was claimed, for the piotoc
Lion or tile lir-itish farmer, but really
the lleit,ish landlocrde, the aristocracy.
One man in Lancanshir-o had taken
this to heai-t, and determined to d.evote
lia life to a ireformation. This was
itichar-d Cobden, a calico p)rinter In
Manchester-. John Bright, a young
Quaker living at lRockdale, who had
just lost his wife and was inconsolable
on that account, was appealed to by
Mr. Cobden to join him in the work he
had taken up. Mr. Cobden plictured to
him the misery in which so many were
found, coinpareOd with which his own
sot-row was liht J r. Bright yielded
to the urgency of his ftriend, and the
names of Cobden and Blright werte ever.
afterwards associated in this groat
work.
I well remember., as a hoy, being
taken by my father, who thus early
souyht to interest me in the weifai-e of
others, to hear these gcr.tlemen in a
Ipublic hail in lI radfot-d, wheo they
delivered almost their fiirst public ad
dresses on this qu estion. I often had
that opportunity aft,erwar-ds in the p)ro
gress of the campaign, which went on
for years till at last success cirowned
the agitationt, and the food of a peopIle
was freed from taxation.
lIe~sid ing in Manchester for many
years, wh ich was the headquarters of
the Anti-Cotrn La1w League, I often
heard Mr. Briight, who was counted
one of the gt-cat or-ators of the nation
and a tribune of the peop1)1. Mr. Cob
don I heard in ltockdale in his last
public speech. lHe had visited the
United States-at that time a "terra
Sicogn it,a," al most in England-and
w her- he had Invested the half million
of (doliars his friends had presented to
him, in Westetrn railt-oads, which had
not, been very prtofitable to him. But
this had given himi the opportunity to
know this countr-y and people. Tell
ing oIf it, hi, isaid: "'If I were a rich
tman I wolull found a chair in Oxford
University to teach American geogra
phly."'
Tihis corn-law crusade was like the
li"ttin ou (it of water, and the torrent
grew in force and Impetus till nearly
al the wrongs and brthens of that
girat l>copIi have been swept away.
Sir Isober-t Poeel, who said he owed his
change of mind on this great quetion
to the speeches of Mr. Cobden in 'a
liament,, left the Trory party and gave
tihe 1)0(p1)1 cheap bread. Mr-. Glad
stone cleared away the newsp)aper
st,amp duty, as well as the tax on plaper,
and so gave firee scope for the on
lightonmnont of the p0Ole. D)israeli,
the shrewd plolitician, turned roundl on
the aristocratic party which had put
him Into ollice, stole the thutnder- of
the Liberals and intr-oducod at measurot
of suffrage reform so oxtr-emo that
.John Biright, who had b in 'he
chainpioni of the movement, plrotested
against it as dangerous, as it, would ad
mit the '"residum'' or dangerous
classes to the franchise. T1hio repeal
of the corn laws Irrosistably led to the
qluestion of tarirfs and1 the freedom of
trade, and brought about a complete
revolution In the fiscal p)olicy of Great
Britain. The new ctra Introduced by
this change in national policy has been
un((g Ialledl in the history of any other
country. 11cr trade extended and her
wealth increased a hundredfold within
a fow years, and this p)rosperity has
hardly known a chock.
And not only as8 to material prosper
ity has this r-oign been remarkable,
but, peirhap)s miore so In the spread of
c(ducation and the facilities made
available for the acquisItion of know
ledge equally by all claase of the pna.
ple. Within my recollection it was nc
uncommon thing for not only the
lower classes to bo entirely ignorant,
but also to find among people living in
comparativo comfort, those unable
either to road or writo. I remember
when Sunday schools were the only
chance given for poor people to learn
to coad; and more than sixty years ago,
when only a boy, I taug t a class in
Sunday school their A. B. C.
These extraordinary and beneficent
changes havo not been made without a
st,ruggle, but the real character of the
British people has been shown in a
most remarkable manner, and the
qualities they possess brought out in
clear outline. The classes in power
really feared the people, and perhaps
not without reason. Demos was a use
ful animal so long as he was under
control, but wore he let loose there
was no power to hinder him from be
coining master of all. The result of
the struggle has made it clear, how
ever, that a trusted people is also a
conservative people, and, one of the
most romarblo facts brought out has
boon that instead of the socialism and
communism which developed in France
under the revolution, the British
workman is today the real defender of
his sovereign's prerogatives and the
strength of her throne.
Long live old England, and God save
the Queen!

The Board of Visitors Cominumend its
General Contlition anti Make Sov
cral Recomimeondations For Im
provemnint.
The following report of the condition
of Clemson College as investigated by
a majority of the board of visitors has
been made.
Clemson College, S. C., Aug. 4, 1897.
To the Honorable Board of Trustees,
Clemson College, S. C.:
We, the board of visitors appointed
by your honorable body, met August
4th, 1897, at Clemson College. Present:
W. A. Brown, J. B. Watson and B. F.
Miller.
We regret that we did not have a
full attendance of the board. Those of
us who were present, however, made
as full and as thorough an investigation
of the condition and management of
the institution and everything apper
taining thereto as limited time and cir
cumstances would permit. We would
have preferred to have visited the col
lego at a time when in full operation,
so as to have enabled us to form a
more intelligent opinion of the efilcien
cy of the work being done in all of the
departments. We find all of the build
ings in first-class condition and the
equipments fully adequate for the pre
sent. We find that the grounds and
surroundings of the college have been
much improved and beautified, and for
cleanliness is unsurpassed. Whatever
may have been the local cause that
produced the lato epidemic of fever, it
has disappeared.
We commend the authorities in their
efforts to discover and remove the
cause of the recent sickness among the
students and to prevent the recurrence
of the samo. And now we congratu
late the trustees wnd the friends of the
college upon the fact that entiro good
health prevails in the college commnun i
ty, and no one therefore need hesitate
about sending their boys back at the
opening of the next session--Septom
bor 8th.
We visited the farm and find a fine
crop growing and, if there is no disas
ter, a line yield may be expected from
the lowland. We also visited the truck
and horticultural farm and found an
abundance of vegetables and fruits
growing on the same, some of which
was the Iiaest that we have over seen.
We recommend that all that can be
utilized be canned and stored away for
the use of the college. Since you have
adopted a vacation of two months or
more, in summer instead of a winter's
vacation, we can see no necessity for
the cultivation of so many vegetables
and fruits and therefore recommend
that a p)art of the farm uow being de
voted to the growing of vegetables and
fruits be devoted to a nursery and to
the raising of all varieties of seeds suit
able for.our soil and climate, to be dis
tributed to the farmers of the State, in
ordecr that our people may be protected
from bogus vendors of fruit trees and
We suggest to the professer of horti
culture the proirly of dividing a por
tion of the contents of his conserva
tory with the Winthrop Normal and
Industrial college. We would empha
size the importance and necessity of
giving more attention to the experi
mental farm, as we do think that this
very important department has been
neglected. We find that t.he tendency
is to cultivate too much land. We
would recommend that the intensive
rather than the extensive system be
adopted, showing how niuch a few
acres can be made to produce and not
how many can be cultivated.
We are pleased with the results of
holding farmer's institutes in dilter

It acts directly upon the nutritive organ

high percentage of nourishiment fronm the
food, anud enables the liver to filter all bill
ouls poisonis out of the circulation; it puts
the red, vitalizing life-giving elemnents into
the blood, and builds up solid flesh, mus
cular force andl healthy nerve-power.
In all debilitated conditions and wasting
diseases it is vastly superior to malt extracts
or aniy muere telnuporary stituulants. It gives
permanent strength. It Is better than nau

thme weakest stomachs.

out parts of the State and recommenc
a continuance of the same.
The attendance upon these institute
and the results have been highly sat
iefactory. We would further recom
mend that at. least one institute, o
two weeks during the summer vaca
tion, be held at the college and thal
suitable arrangements be made t<
board those attending said institutei
at actual cost and that the lowest ratesi
of transportation be secured. We woulc
further recommend that the origina:
idea in the establishment of Clemsoi
college be not lost sight of, to wit
that the agricultural, mechanical anc
Industrial features be at all times kepi
prominent. We find that the colleg
is well stored with a herd of fine cattl<
which supplies an abundance of gooi
milk and butter for the use of the same
and a sufficient number of hogs to con
sume all the refuse and waste from
the college and also to supply the stu
dents with all the bacon and lard n&
cessary. The dairy is well kept. We
find about 1,200 pounds of fine butteg
stored away for future use and a daily
increase of about 27 pounds. We are
gratified to know that the enrollment
of students for the past year has beer
440, that being a considerable increase
over last year. We would recommend
that not more than two boys be allowed
to occupy one room in the dormitory,
and further that the board make pro
vision for the election of a chaplain for
the institution, to conduct the opening
and closing exercises in the chapel
and to superintend the Sunday schools,
prayer meetings and the Y. M. C. as
sociation and to visit and care for the
sick. We would respectfully call the
attention of the board of trustees tc
the demand, on the part of our people,
for the utmost economy in the manage.
mont of the affairs of all the h!gher
institutions of learning in the State,
We acknowledge the courtesies ex
tended to us by President Craighead
and other olicers of the college, and
commend the board of trustees for the
zeal and vigilance that they have
always manifested for the best inter
eats of the Institution, and we expresE
the hope that the college may continue
to grow in usefulness and efficiency
under your management.
Respectfully submitted,
W. A. BI3OWN,
B. P. MILLI;R,
J. BEUL'ON WATSON.
