If Goldsmitb had havo lived to our day he might havO written thos lines about Now England. Was there ever such a sad and pitiful picture drawn of any peoplO as that New England preacher has drawn of the country peo P11 of Massachusetts and has published in The Arena. We wonder that the editor of that high-toned magazino would daro to expose the descendants of the Puritans in all their hideous deformity and to broadcast it among the citizens of cultured Boston. The story of their degradation physically is worse than what we read about of the goitre districts of Switzerland. Six flngers on each hand, six toes on each foot, cross-eyes, hare-lips, club foot, IuIllIe chop , mutes, dwarfs and idiotS seem to be common in every rural community. But the degeneracy morally is still worse, for this preacher says when there is a gathering from neighboring towns at a cattle show or other attractionl you will see as wicked a throng of human creatures as ever gathered at Vhite Chapel or the l''ive Points, and that the pens or prisons built for drunken rowdies are Iillee before 9 o'clock in the niorninig and these hoodlums insult every woman they meet, and when niglt comes both men and women revel In the wil( orgies of a promiscuouAs dance. And yet some of those Honton editors are still crying " Stoo thief '" to distract pubic attention from their ownii shame. Once before I have alluded to Mr. Stute on's statement that the marriage relation in Miassaehusetts is al most a uululty, and timt separations are iIo're comn mon t an leg-al divorces. Not long since another New England wri tee astoutried the public by declaring that in many town s and viilages the sound of the fabbMth hell was never heard, nor the i enurc h ol or ever opened and religion was goiog rapidly into dikusc and inniocuous(I desuetude. What does all this mean ? Ias the Almighty Cod turned His back upon that historic ground and given the devil fre2 -eign over its pcople ? Has It Cole to this that a man who preaches holiness or sancti~ication is lynched with tar and feathers and made to leave the country. lf a negro commits an outiage in that once holy lard does it take guards and police and the militia to keep the mob off of him ? And yet hL Boston Transcript says that (meor-gia is several generations bebimi New England in relinement and morals. " How are the mighty fallen :" when we find that in The Arena a preacher is allowed to take his text, 'The Dlegeneracy and )ecay of Rural New England." Their conditiov is amaming, pathetic, helpless. Tile land of Webster, Choate, Pierce and Haw thorne is now 'to hastening ills a pirey,'" for as wealth accumulates in lBoston men decay around it. Thi, preah"er says " the mills are built, but the farms arc alli mortgaged."' Tuen, what wvill become of the factory girls whlen the iills are all moved Sonuth to the cotton, where they are 01)1iged to comie, or close?- Not long ago I traveled with my good friend, Galloway, of T1he Maconi Telegraph, and he talke~d in raiptures about a new book-an English man's history of the United States. Percy Greg has written two v ohunes about us, and it is a masterly produe. tion-nothing so thorough, so phi loso p~hie, so just to all tihe factors, old Engii land, New England and the South, has over been written. T1he author is an lEnglish man, a noted traveie, a scholar, high-toned, urnprejudicedl and as enter taining as Maculay. I sent to ltieh mond for it, to the Everett Waddey Company, who published the A mei can edition, and eagerly have l perused and enjo) ed it. This edition has an admnirable preface b~y General 'Wade Hampton. This book is 1to) comprIe hensive for- the schools, but every man of leisure should have a copy in his house to feed upon-to feed mbhid andl memory, and lbe established in the faith of our fathers. P com my inmost heart, I thank Mr. Greg for writing this his tory while I still live, for I feel that at last the South has been vindiented by a master mind. Every page gives comfort, and that p)ortion about our civil war and its causes and conseqiuences makes the Southern spirit b~urn with in you and a feeling of thankful pride is revived in the Southern breast. Yes, it makes me feel calm and ser-ene. Here is another book that the author has just sent mne through the mail. Its title is ''The Case of the S->uth Against the North," by [ton. 11. . Grady, a culture 'cion of North Caro 1ina and h ate a membi er of Congre-s from that State-and a Confederate veteran of four years' soldier- service. I have only had time to glance over its contents, but have readi enough to know that it will be anotiler val uable ed ucator in our schools, and( will estab 11sh the truth in the minds of our young people. Th'le long belated South is making her own literature now, thank the Lord for lIIis mecies. Here Is a beau ti ful Ii ttle hook of poemls b~y lI .cy. E. A. Wi ngard, of Coum ibia, S. C. NIy friend, E. A. AullI, of The New beriry Newis, publ)1ishedl it and sent a copy to me. Th'1e.'e poets sccem to come up) in a night. This Lutheran prcacher Is no mor'e rhmy mer :lhe is a true poet, and many of his' poemis arc as perfect gems as ever HI yno or Tinmrod wrote ; some of them rermiind one of Cowiper and Golsmith. They are as tender and true as classic. The verses " No cross, no crown," are exqu isite, and so are the lines in memoriam of Winnie Davis. Andl here I have some numbers of The Midland Monthly, of St. LouIs, that is an ad mirable magazIne, anml one enti rely fair and just to the South. My friend, Benjamin 10. Gireen, of Dal ton, was sent on a secret mision to Cuba and St. Domingo,,in 1&l8jby P'rcsl dent Tiaylor, and recently he wrote a truthful and very instructive article containing hIs observations of th'e peo ple, and especially ',be con Ilict, betwecen the white and negro races in those Islands. Th is sketch was decli ned by every Northern magazine of Itepubll can instincts--declincd becauiso Its conclusions d11( not tally wIth Repuib lican policy ; but it was promptly ac cepted by The Midland Monthly, and Mr. Green ad vises our people to con tribute to it and patronIze it. Mr. Green, a well-knowni scion of that very notable and ableo gentleman Duf Groen, 18 hImself one of the most learned and relIable wrIters of tho~ South. T'hen there is our own Thomas Neleon P age, whose " Red Riock " has awakened the conservative people of the North, and they declare with some signs of repentance that they did not know, they did not dream that the South was 89 shamefully and cruelly harrassed in reconstruction days. May be they will apologize before long. Yes, we are rising up again to the front, and will yet fulfill A blon Tour go's prediction, for he says in his "Fool's Errand," " the South con trolled and dominated the national gov ernment for fifty years, and if our poo ple continue to worship money as their God, the South will before anotber half century control and dominate it again." The North, like Haman sees Mordecai sitting at the gate, and Is un happy, and now her only hope is that there is a nigger in the woodpile who will some day break out and dronch our land with blood. Let the North beware and let us alone, for Haman was hanged on the gallowe he built for MordecaI. We do not fear the negro, for though he is a political fool, he is yet our friend. But I must be amiable today, for It is the seventy-third anniversary of my birthday. I have already had forty kisses and a hundred good wishes, and there are more te come. My wife kissed me early-kissed me first and said with a conjugal smile: "You must live on and on as long as you can, for I don't know how we would get along without you." I don't either, aud so, like a pensioned soldier, I keep living on. Time cuts down all Both great and small. Except a pensioned soldier. We had a big dining today with eighteen of the family at the feast, and the menu was an old-fashioned dinner, with ico -cream and talk and hilarity for dessert. They drank a cold water toast to my longevity. BILL Am,. WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN. COLUMuIA, S. U., June 20th, 1899. 'Ce week ending Monday, June 19th, was intensely Lot during the first four days and abnormaly cool the remain der of the week. The extreme maxi minum was 103, and the minimum 53 degrees. The rainfall was ge noral on the 16.17, and in places heavy. The week's rain fali exceeded four inches at Blackvillo, and over three inches at a number of points, with few places only that had less than an inch of rain. Over the geeater portion of the State, it came in the form of a gentle soaking rain. rho extreme heat and dryness of the early part of the week were detrimen tal to the development of all Crops ex cept cotton, and caused much sufforing among workmen and animals in proso cuting the cultivatiou of field crops, but the cooler weather and generally copious rainfall of the close of the week have changed the conditions materially for the better. 'Jotton made rapid growth during the week following the rains of last week and the high temperature--favor able weather conditions for it. The early planted has excellent stands and is fruiting well, and some is blooming. Lato planted has neither good stands nor seasonable size. Sea Wind cotton is very promising. Grasshoppers are eating cotton just coining up in the extreme western counties. The condition of corn was improved by receiving the much needed mois tore, and by the drop in temperature.

I His Joy in Going Home to Aged Parvents--He Can't Explain His Feelings. Ton years ago young Whitfield 4 Murrell was sent to the penitentiary I for being an accomplice in the murder i of a young man by the name of Yonce. The story of this famous murder case in Edgetield county is now recalled by i the pardon issued a few days ago by Gov. McSweeney, who released Murrel 4 from confinement and restored him to , the aged parents who have longed for 4 his freedom. Murrell and Wm Car- t penter were convicted of the murder of Yonco with a recommendation to mercy. At the time of the crime and for some time afterwards the whole State was astir. The capture of Mur- i rolt was only affected after the most I oxtensive search had been made. He was bpought to Columbia finally, so- < curely tied with ropes, then seemingly a mere boy. He has been serving a I life sentence. Governor McSweeney I grantod the petition for pardon on a statement of the physicians that the young man had developed consump Lion ; on the confession of Carpenter, i -onvicted along with him, that Mur rell though with him at the time had i laken no part no part in the kilticrg of I Yonce; and on petitions of the strongest I 1haractor. During Gov. Tillman's administra Lion strong petitions were presented, I but the Governor refussed the parion. I Senator Tillman's name, however, ap pears on the petition which aided in getting the pardon. The Edge1iold correspondent of The State thus describes the home-coming f young Murrell : Ills health is shattered and he is al. most a physical wreck. The pardon meets witn the hearty approval of the people of the county, and the young man was congratulated on all sides upon his arrival. His aged parents were oompletely overcome when he reached home, where in addition to his father and mother, his sisteis and brothers and friends had gathered to await his coming. For 10 long years he has languished Ln prison, stead fastly proclaiming his innocence. His co-defendant, William Carpenter, now in the ponitentiary for life, has always claimed and sworn that Murrell had nothing whatever to do with the kill. ing of young Yonce, and the jury who convicted him, realizing the terrible mistake they had made, signed the pe tition for Murrell's pardon. Whitfield Murrell left Isdgefiold.i une 15, 1888, for the penitentiary, a board less boy of 16, curly black hair, hand some clear cut features adorned with c a bright and expressive eye. On June t 15th, 1899, he returns, and few oven of a his closest friends recognize him, so e great has been the change. When rsked how he felt upon being set free, ho replied with a tone of sadness : r " God only knows. I can't describe it. 1 No living mortal can describe it. r Think of confinement in a tomb for 10 r years; think of hell with ita most re- I volting horrors, and then to be set t free, to breathe fresh air, to hear to C birds sing, see the flowers bloom, to be t again by the side of my dear aged fath- a ir and mother-their kindly voices to .heer me up instead of the clang of the iron door and tread of the guards to lepress me. Think of these things mid you may in a way imagine how I reel.' Murroll speaks in the highest terms f the present ofilals of the peniten Liary ; says they are the best that have t been there since his continomnen. Dr. D). S. Pope, the former physician of the r penitentiary, he commends in languageo that is indeed flattering. C 'Lice Secret is to Have the Faculty of' 1: Being Always Amused. 5 Edgar Baltus in Collier's Weekly. Trhe Lancet has been discussing old ago. Here is a subject which interests riverybody. To the young it is very y Lmportant. To their elders still mocre so. The Lancet thinks t hat we live Longer than our forefathers. The a thought is profound but, in view of a N1l0thuselah, confusing. The Lancet thinks too that old age can be pre- g vented. We are of the same opinion. B3y way of remedy an early demise has e always seemed to us sovereign. The e Lancet appears to prefer galvanism. t lI it has tried it the result 1o nor, yet ii Ilpparent in its pages. Meanwhile the jy 3lixir of youth which Alexander the ~ 3reat sought in India and Ponce de Leon in Florida is not forthcoming, L iherapeutically at least, for axiomnati- ii 3aliy we have it always with us. d An 1English specialist who died the e year before last, at an age which was generally regarded as very young for aimn, maintained that it. consisto.l in E ymitting everything which we like to lo and in doing everything which we ii lon't. We are convinced that he was 'ight. .fhe things we like to do are a :ither wicked or injurious, unless they t mappen to be both. Another specialist c -a German this time--maintained h hat the secret of longevity consisted n matrimony. In support of his thesis me gave the names of fifty centonarians ~ 11l of whom were widowers, a cireum tance which showed, or seemed to,n tot that matrimony is conducive to ongevity, but ratnhcr that, the man vno( survives matrimony can survive ,nything. Then there was another specialist, E either IEnglish nor Cerman, but "rench, who gave a different receipt a o every body. To one he ascribed his ~ raeen old age to the fact that, he was ontinually in his cups ; to a second me said it was due to the exercise he ~ Tot out of repeated assaults and bat cry. A thir-d was confidentially in- 3 ormee that there was nothing like ireakfasting at midnight. And so orth and so on.

SOUTHERN OOTTON MILLS, agress of the Great Revival In the Erection of cotton Mimll. anta Constitution. !he New York Journal of Commerce, a carefully prepared article, draws ention to the great revival in the otion of cotton mills in the South. 'he fact that within the past live nthe $17,C00,000 of now capital has m invested in cotton mills, and that 00,000 new spindles will be adaed to > plants of Southern cotton spinning, )ws better than anything else how Dng the movement Is, and as to what in the future. Comprised in this v work are fifty now mills now in Pcess of construction, or the capital which has boon raised, and which 1 involve an investment of $11,500, . These now mills will contain mut 700,000 spindles, and thirty nine li, which are now .dding $5,000, to their capital, will call for 400, now spindies. It is based upon se facts that The Journal of Com roe says : From 1890 to 1898 the increase in number of spindles in Southern le was less than two million. The atest increase in ono year was 578, spindles in twelve months, ending gust, 1899. It is ovidout, therefore, it oven if changes of plans or other aumstances should materially curtail > present apparent increase since first of January, the increase in number of spindles In the past live nths will still be far greater than any preceding year and will equal krgo pereentage of the increase of ht years. ' These mills represent the produc 2 of fine as well as coarse goods, and 2e of them are particularly designed )roduce for export. If the profits Southern cotton mills t re not what y were at first, when perhaps the idends included money-s that shou.d re been set apart for depreciation I renewal, and if the mills around )envillo, S. C., whose profits we re red to recently, are more prosperoub ,n many others, it remains evident t the profits of Southern cotton ntils tempting to capital, and that the antages of spinning the cotton near field where it was picked have not n exhausted. Most of these ext.en is of the cotton industry arc in the > Carolinas." 'he opening up of new markets in ia, Porto Rico and the Philippines had an effect in bringing about so new results, but even if such out 3 invitation had not existed, there o donbt that the force of commer circumstances would still have ipelled the removal of the cotton I to the cotton field. As has been wn by Mr. Hugh T. Iiman, when low price of cotton, which seems to 'e become established, makes the ght item so Important a part of the , there is nothingjleft to do but ce ro that item and transfer it into fit by putting the mill in the field. 3 Journal of Commerce is candid ugh to say that " the South iN u ring capital. It boasts that it owns itof its cotton mills. It Is acquiring roads and furnaces and manufac es," and It goes on to show mat t e th is engaging its own ports as well a large share of the busineu of 'thern ports. This, we take it, to he greatest compliment of all, that enterprises should be handled by own people. The building up of aufactures, with the dividends reg ely going out of the country, would sent, but small ground for congratu on, but when we see the factory iding by the riverside, with the 2o of its oni nor upon a hilltop near and the bank which guards its idends in a neighboring town, we feel then that we are making sub itial progress, and thbat our people reaping the whole benefit, of it. -It is the common belief that hu SIngenuity has devised no adequate iguard against the cyclones which frequently sweep ever the Wester-n irie country. The paople of the n of Hennessy, In Oklahoma, says Is a mistake, and that they have :overed a means of defence which lyclone can got the better of. They e purchasced four large cannon and sted one on each side of the town. ompetent gunner looks out for the :es, and has instructions to load and into any cyclone which may come way.
