" i. still live." I was ruminating about the last words of grea'. men, and those of Daniel Webster always im press me with peculiar force. On the very confines of eternity, on the brink of the everlasting change that he knew was at hand, his great mind seemed to he studying and waiting for the mo, ment of his departure---waiting and watching for the separation of the soul from the body, and wondering how he would pass the crisis. There was no fear, no dread, as he calmly whisper ed, " l still live," and immediately died. His body died, and what was the next vision of his great soul the world would like to know, but it is for bidden. I thought of all this not long ago as I seemed to be drawing near the end and approached the confines of that undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns. I was Serions and solemn with expectation, but was not alarmed, for my faith is that my Maker will take care of inc and of all others who love Him and try to do right. All that troubled ile was the separation from those I love and their grief at my departure. Two months is a long time to be a child again without vital force enough to walk alone. But I have passed the crisis, and though weak and nervous am on the up-grade, and can walk ab-mt the garden and carry the little grandchild in imy arms and give him flowers and feast on his smiles and care;SC. Well, that is enough on that line. You readers can find sermons and prosy commentarios on sickness and death on another page. "Carpe diei." Let us enjoy the day and be tbankful that we still live. But to drop rever ently from the sublime to the ridicu lous. I recall that when I was young a number of us were quoting the last words of great men such as Seneca and P1lato and Calvin and Luther and one said: " Well, you know what Daniel .Webster said'?" No, we did not re member and he replied: " Why he opened his great big eyes and looked at his friends who were weeping around him and whispered, ' Boys, don't cry; I am not deai yet.' Forty-one years ago last Sunday the battle of Manassas was fought. It was the fIrst hattle of the civil war and made a deeper impression upon those engaged in it than any other. Comu pared with the great battles that came after it, it was almost insignificant, for theic was only four hundred and seventy Federal killed and three hun dred and seventeen Confederates. The Federal account gives sixteen hundred of their army as missing. That is a mistake, for by four o'clock they were all missing. Our cavalry couldn't find them, though they followed their trail of discar,ed guns and haversacks for miles and miles. There never was such a rout and such a panic during the war. We didn't have enough wa gons next (lay to gather up the scat terel munitions of war, and it took McDowell a month to call in his army of twenty-seven thousand men and re organize. But in the long run they got even with us and a little ahead, and the Grand Army is still bragging how four of them whipped one of us in four years. That's all right. We are satialled with our record and it, grows brighter as t,he years roil on. Anno Dlomini will tell. The other day my doctor said I must take some exercise and lie took his mother and me up the river road for a few miles to the ruins of the Cooper ironi works. 1I, was awild, weird, ghostly lace on the banks of the Etowah, where once were rolling milla and foundry and furnaces and flour mills andl tan yards and hundreds of cottages, where happy laborers and mechanics lived. But Sherman's army burned and dlestroyed -everything, and since thein most of the crumbling walls have fhalleL and1 the trees have grown up in their midst, and wild vines have climb ed the trees and nothing is visible but ruins and the sad spectacle of a cruel amti brut,al war. But this is one burn ing that, according to the rules and usages of war, was justified, for these iron works wore making cannon for the Confederacy. 'It, was the lone -sonme chimneys of the poor all along his line of march that marked his bru tality and proved his assertion that "war Is hell." But no more of this. While view ing these ruins my memory went back to the time when Joe Brown was Governor and ordered that 5,000 pikes he made with a spear point and a side blade curved downward like a reap hook and a long handle in a socket, so that, our boys might take 'em coming and going. If they didn't run we were to spear 'em, and if they did run we were t,o overtake 'em and hook 'em back. -That's what old, man Lewis told me, and he was the master mechanic who miade themi, and he still lives near here and is in his 88th year. I saw him today and he steps light and springy, ie is an Englishman. "Mr. Lewis," said I, " why didn't the Geor gia boys use these pikes ?" " Well, you see," said he, " the old army of Ilecers who were drilling our boys at ig Shanty looked at these pikes and saidl to the Governor; * What will the enemy be doing with their guns whle~ our boys are rushing on t,hem with these pIkes? They will shoot our boym down before they can,.get to them,' and -they made so much fun over the pikem that,. they were refused. West, Poli wouldn't have anything that was noi bused at, West Point." And so the ft.rther manufacture o pikes was stopped and those that were made are now scattered all over the country as curios for museums. A sister of mine says she saw one of them not long ago in a museum in Boston. But still 1 don't see why spears are any more out of order than bayonets when a desperate charge is to be made. " Charge bayonets!1" is in the West Point tactics, and why not " Charge pikes?" They are an awful looking weapon, and if they were coming at me and my gun was to miss fire I should drop it and run like a turkey. I had rather be bored with a bullet than stuck like a hog. But it is all over now, and we have beaten our spears into pruning hooks according to Scripture and will not learn war any more, except when the mulattos and niggers refuse to give up their lands to us. We want more land for teiritory and more niggers for subjects. But I hear the dinner bell and must go-not to partake of the feast, but to say grace and pieside and inhale the savory odor of roast lamb and green corn pudding and look at the peaches and cream for dessert. They let me do that and give mo nothing but soup and rice for my share. My tomatoes are now in their prime and it pleases me to gather them in the early morn. My largest weighed two pounds, lacking two ounces, and was a beauty. It was working them in the hot sun and then filling up with ice water that laid me up. trLL ARP. TilI TEXTII;E INDUSTRIIS. South Carolina 11ns the First Place inl the South as to the Cotton Mills. The United Slates census report on cotton manufactures, gives South Car- I >lina the first place in .he South among 4 the cotton mills. It gives the compara.

The census bulletin has this 'emarkable and certainly mobt inter %sting statement : " It was not possible, of course, to iccount for all the exports declared I ipon the clearing of vessels for foreign ?orts, since a considerable part of the lomestics sold abroad are made for the f meo market and are purchased for l tale in other countries after they have )assed wholly out of the control and f he knowledge of umnufaturers ; but, o far as the managers of mills are able ,o trace their products, they furnished c goods for export during the year 1899 1900 to the value of $15,357,502, or c ibout live-eighths of the value of cloth t ;xported during the fiscal year. Almost c ;0 per cent. of the total value repre. onts the product of Southern mills t md nearly 37 per cent. the goods of New England. It is an interesting fact that South Carolina, which was 1 istorically and politically during the years precedling the civil war the most, conspicuouis champion of a policy fa- i vorable to the exportation of raw cot ton, upon which the planters most re lied, andl opposed1 to the fostering of manufactures of cotton, spunl in its I own mills in 1900 a quantity of cottoni exceedimg the half of its own cropm andi export,ed close upon one-half of all the I cotton~ cloth reported to the census as having been dispatched to foreign< countries. The exact percent,age of South Carolina of the total export re p)orted was4.. The Atlanta Journal , in commenting upon the census report concerning cot ten statistics, has the following p)erti nent comparisons: If anybody had predlictedl twenty years ago that b)y this time the Sout,h would have attained her present im port.anc.e in the iextile indust,ry lie would have been lau'ghea~ at. There has been nothing in the same line any.. where comparable to this adIvanlce in the part of the count,ry that has b)een called slow by those who either know little about, it or intentionally 'misrep resent it. The actual facts and figures tell a story of the South's progress in textile mnanufactures (luring the last two decades that is more eloquent than any words that could be used on the subject. The official figures of the last census show that the capital invested In the South in the textdle industry was but $25,379,140 in 1880 and by 1900 had grown to $146,840,155. The capital in the same indlustry in New England1 in 1880 was $201,61,147. In 1900 it was $524,899,302. Thus while t,he capital in the textile industry of the South had increased 478 per cent, in tweny years that, of New FCngland h ad increased only 100 per3 cent. The actual and relative increase in the value of thme textile product,s of the South was quite as remarkable. 1t grew from $25,6318,246; in 1880 to $114,887,668 In 1900. The figures for he Neew England mills were $310,542, 352 in 1880 and $412,876,976 in 1900.1 Tlhe value of the textile product of tIhe South inereased in twenty years 348 per cent. and that of New England only 32 per cent. The Increase of t,he whole counit'y In these two items of cap)ital Invested In the textile industry and the value of it,s product for the ,period mentioned was 142 per cent, for ,te former and 6$5 per cent. for the lat,ter.. I n 1880 t.he invatmanten the& . dustry in the Sorith represented 0 per cent. of all in the country, and in 1900 14 per cent. In the same period the proportion of the value of the products in the South advanced from 4 to 1:1 per cent. of the total for the country. The South has gone much further forward in the textile industry than she was in June, 1900, when these figures were taken. The next census will have a report to make o: Southern industrial progress that will be even more marvelous than that at which the world is now wondering. A VICT( xfY FORt ICI414INGIC. The F;tit AgainMt Alleged TrusMt Rtemun<le to1 State CoulrtH. Charleston Evening Post. In the United States Circuit Court today judge Simonton handed down his decision in the case of the State of South Carolina against the Virginia. Carolina Chemical company, granting the motion of the plaintiff for the re-' mand of the case to the State court. The decision is a victory for Attor ney (eneral Bellinger. It will be re- t called that several months ago Attor ney General Bellinger brought action against the Virginia-Carolina Chemi- e cal company, in the Richland County court, under the anti-trust act, alleging t that the company was purchasing and e acquirimg a mionop)oly of the fertihzter , industry, contrary to law. The attorneys for the company e inoved before Judge Buchanan for a transfcr of thle suit, to tho Federal ~ ourt. alleging the act to be in deroga- a Aion of the constitution of the United Slates. The judge refused the motion, V )ut the attorneys secured copies of ,he proceedings and filed them in the tircuit court and later Judge Simonton t teard the arguments on the motion >f Attorney General Bellinger for the c emand. Judge Simonton's decision is lengthy, r .otaining many law citations. The ( ourt notes that, accompanying the r ecords, there is no order of the State r ourt removing the suit. " But from e idmissions," continues the court, e nnde at the bar and from the t rhole tenor of the arguments, it ap- t ears that the absence of the order, 1 emoving the cause, was not based 4 ipon the insufliciency of tie bond, but n ipon the legal ground that the case nde by the plaintiff, (lees not raise u lie Federai question on which alone e his court can take jurisdiction. The uestion involved in this discussion is r ;rave and beset with difliculty. The e tato has the right to have the case rought by her, tried in her own ourts, unless the constitution of the Jutted States has secured to the do endant the right of protection in the Oederal court." Judge Simonton ruled that the Fed ral question did not appear on the V ace of the record, and lie was bound c o go by the record and remand the e ase to the State courts. The decision hows that the act of the Legislature t ontained no mention of the constitu- t ion of the United States, and no rights, e laims, privileges and .immunity of r ederal statutes which would bring t lie act into any relation or conflict 'ith the Federal law. The court etates, towever, that a Federal question might a e raised hereafter in the State courts, t nd in such an event a direct appeal t an be taken to the Uniited States Su' s rome Court from the State Supreme ~ ~ourt,. WVA'rER F-Of SH!EEP.-An important point, ini successful sheep) manlagemnent E s the water supply. While good water 6 s a great thing in growing all kinds of 1 ive stock, it is especially so with the I heeop, which is not only a dainity feed- I ~r but a dainty drinker, and will only ake bad, st,agnlant water into its( itomach when dlriven to it by thirst. N{ot only wvill it suffer for the want oft Irink when the supply is had, b)ut it ist mubject, to more dliseases, usually para sitic, that have thelir origin in p)olluted water, than any other of the domest,ic mnmmals. Whlere the flocks get, their I mupply from surface water courses Liable to pollut,ioni of all kinds, sick sheep may be exp)ected with the ag gravat,ion that, it is oft.en impossible to tietermiuo whlat is the matte: with the animals or what t.o (10 for them. With such a source of supply, also, a rainy season, wvhich washes the soil from long dist,ances and( brings dlown ac cumulations of filth, is likely to increase the amount of obscure disease lin the flock, it is also no unusual cause of scours in lambs. We generally look for the cause of scours in t,he feed, but, quite as often it is due to impure water. Everybody is familiar with the disturbance in the human family, particularly in hlot weather, which fol lows the use of bad water. The stomach of the !ao' , and even the sheep, is quite as seeptible to dan gers from thlis source as is that of the shepherd. We oft,en see flocks on fairly goodI pastures, that ought to do well so far as' feed is concerned, show ing a lack of thrift and a general dull ness for which there seenms to he at first blush no apparent reason. Very of ton an examinat,ion of the water supply will reveal the cause. Governor Cummins, of Iowa, is one of the bes8t authorities in that State upon forestry. .He has mastered the subject thoroughly, having originally taken it up somo years ago as an amulseent and liaving stuck to it, ever since.

BRYAN IS NOT A CANI)I)ATE -ie Tilinks a Private Citizen IIN Greater Jiotir Than i King1.. On Saturday afternoon, in the pre senCe of an audience of 4,000 persons assembled in the amphitheatre of tho Mountain Lake Park Chautauquan As :ociatioi, Md., Win. Jennings Bryan liscussed the problems of government. Mr. Bryan prefaced his address, which was of two hours' durati-n, with a lenial that he will again seek to be eomc the national stannard bearer of ie Democratic party, his denial being ,ontained in the following phrases: "I hope you will give me credit for he possession of a higher ambition han to be satisfied with the oilce of L'resident of the United States. I am ;oo democratic to covet an ambition hat only a few in one generation can hare. I prefer the honor of being a rivate citizen, an honor greater than hat of a King." Throughout his discussion of the nomentous problems now engaging ho attention of the two great polilical arties Mr. Bryan occasionally tapped vein of quiet humor that generated miles on many countenances. " You will recall," he said, " that lie Republicans have had two telling hances at me, and on this occasion I1 tould seek one at them. In dealing nth the theme of 'Problems of Gov- 1 rnuent' 1 shall endeavor to inject nough religion to suit a Republican lid onough politics to carry favor with Democrat." Mr. Bryan stated that primarily it ras his purpose to deal with the moral hiase of the subject. I[e declared ti at the partiuan discussion of the riff, free silver, the trusts and im crialism had been dragged down by impaign orators into the mire of dol trs and cents. In civilization, which t ir. Bryan delined as the harmonious evelopment of the human race, e iorally, mentally and physically, he egar(led the cultivation of the moral t lenient as a paramount issue and do- j lured that history supported his con- i .ntion that moral decay had preceded lie ruin of every nation that had fal n. " A nation," said Mr. Bryan, I is strong only in proportion to its ioral excellence." -Ie declared that the present Ad iinistration had developed a tendoncy i amend God's holy ordinances, Thou shalt not steal," "Thou shalt ( ot kill," " Thou shalt not covet," i tc., by adding an apologetic clause, save when done on a very large t cale." Reference was made to the Philip ine question and the conduct of the merican soldiery in suppressing the isurrection. lie denounced "imi erialism " at great length, then re erted to the currency question, pro aiming himself as devobt an apostle f free silver as ever. He further denounced what he rined the plutocracy of wealth, the riff and injunctions, and said that the a ily possibility of suppressing anarchy ested in the education of the people o love their government. t Mr. Bryan stated, with marked em hasis, that if he had the power every rticle manufactured by trusts would c placed upon " the free list," al bough he sincerely doubt.ed if this tren uous and radical measure would iholly frustrat,e the trusts. A NE~W RAI LROAD) DEiA [.--It is an 2nouncedl from Baltinore that the eaboard Air Line Railroad Company as b)oughit the South and Western lailway. The latter is a new comn any, under which two or more roads nill be consolidlatedl. It owns the )hio River and Charleston Railroad, vhichi it is proposed to extend from he coal fields of Southwest Virginia > Limcolnton, N.

TIhe promoters of the chneie announce that the route plan )ed will be the shortest line from the rirgimia coal fields to the Atlantic ~oast and the South. The proposed roadl will be about, 275 niles in length, but it is thought thatj ~he mileage will be increased by it,s ex-| ension in a northerly (direction.
