Y., last Thursday before 3,000 people, he at tacked the expansion policy, and gave utterance to some palpable, pointed, and powerful truths. Here urea few of them: “A large standing army is a bur den to taxpayers and a mennnee to the republic. This nation can de pend upon its volunteers. They can defend it in the the he ur of danger. “What lias happened to make more solders necessary? Nothing but a republican administration. The occupation of Cuba is only tem porary. There is no trouble at Puerto Rico; 70,0b0 soldiers are wanted'to carry the benign blessings of freedom to 9,000,000 of Filipinos. Who.will pay the cost? If the Filipi nos, they must be taxed four times as high as Spain taxed them. “If we pay it, ask a gold man to show you iiovv it will get back to the taxpayers. Common people furnish the soldiers, and syndicates get the money paid for war. Government by one man backed by force is despo tism. Shall we call our chief execu tive President of the United States and emperor of the Philippines? I oppose Christianity fired out of a Gatling gun. The man who is hit does not need the gospel." These woras go straight to the core of this whole expansion business, and they should he emblazoned over evory door and over every mantel of every home in this broad land. They told us at first that destiny had imposed upon us the responsi bility of civilizing and Christianizing the inhabitants of the Philippine Islands. W’hat did destiny have to do with that $20 1 000 l 0(.t0 foolishly paid for a claim on those islands, which claim, the whole world knew, would have to bo maintained by force of arms. Considered as a trade that transaction would have discred ited the judgment of a ten-year-old boy. So much for destiny. Now, they tell us that the Filipinos have forced the war upon us, and they stigma tize them as rebels and insurgents because they did not quietly consent to be sold and delivered like a herd of cattle, by a nation that did not own them; and they say further more that it is now too late to undo what has been done, that the honor of the nation is at stake and must be preserved to the last man, the lust ship, and the last dollar. So much for the spirit of conquest, of selfish greed, and of high-handed despotism. TIMKOD’H roi.MS. The memorial edition of the poems of Henry Timrod has at last been issued and put on sale by the Tim rod Memorial Association. We have not yet seen the book, but the Co lumbia State speaks of it as “a hand some volume of over 230 pages, bound in blue and silver, with dainty typography and making a fit casket for the gems it contains." We believe the book will take and hold a place in standard literature, for Timrod was a true poet and sang his heart melodies out of the depths of suffering and sorrow. His life itself was an elegy—almost a tragedy —and the story of his hopes and dis appointments, of ids grim struggle with poverty and disease, of his suf ferings and early death, will always appeal to the tenderest and deepest sympathies of the human heart. It is sad to think that all the sym pathy and praise and admiration which liis countrymen are now ready to give him, have been with held until ho i$ beyond the reacli of human sympathy and indifferent to ] raise and admiration. But he lived in times too unsettled and stormy for a tender poetic flower and it ,was not till after the storm had long passed that the lingering fragranee of the flower that had perished re vealed the fact that it had budded and bloomed and died. The remains of the dead poet rest In an obscure corner in Trinity church yard in Columbia, and it is the intention of the Association to apply till of (lie net proceeds from the sale of the book to the erecting of a suitable monument over his grave. His most fitting memorial how ever, is I ho heart songs I hat lie sang and (hot will echo in other hearts for generations to come, mid we could almost wisli Ilia! it iri'dif sfill he I said of him ns was auid of another: ' No marble marks (by coiu-li of lowly slc'p. Hut IIvIiik statues there are seeij to weep; Afllfeliou's semblaliee lieml.s not o'er tliy tomb — Aftiietlou's self deplores thy youthful doom." KICK. We note that many of the farm ers in the middle part of the State are turning their attention to the cultivation of rice. There is no rea son in the world why the farmers of the up-country should not begin to l do the same tiling. Rice is one of the most prolific of the cereals; it grows vigorously, and is easily culti vated, and as an article of food for man an beast it lias no'superior. , The only difficulty just now in the j way ot its general cultivation in this part of the country, is the absence of mills for cleaning but they would soon come if farmers would plant it. It is only a question of time, and not much time at that, when the or dinary up-country farmer will be starved out ou cotton, and it stands him in hand now to begin to look around for other crops. It is beginning to be well under stood that the great state of Texas will soon supply more than half of the cotton that the world needs and hence will control the price. It is further a known fact that the Texas farmer, us indeed the farmer in al most any part of the southwest, can raise double the quantity of cot ton and raise it more cheaply, by at least one cent on the pound, than the average farmer in our State can do. This condition of things will work out its legitimate results, and the wise farmer will recognize the facts and begin to adjust himself to the conditions. Cotton must cense to be the main crop in this part of the country, and the sooner the bet ter. I.YNCUIMJS. We believe that the intelligent Christian sentiment of nine-tenths of the people of South Carolina con demns lynching without qualifica tion. That sentiment must sooner or later assert itself and Jynchings must stop. Recently the Supreme Court has rendered a decision which will give them a stagger blow, and now if the circuit courts will just en force the law in a few cases and col lect damages from the counties in which Jynchings occur, the spirit of mob violence to the extent of inflict ing death on helpless victims, will be crushed forever. NOTES ANI> C.'OMM KNTS. The Atlanta Constitution has added ijtoOb to the rewards olfered for the arrest of Sam Hose, the negro, who murdered a farmer and outraged liis wife. Some of the papers have characterized this act as strictiy Constitutional. Judge Brawley shed tears when delivering his charge to the jury that tried the men charged with the Lake City murder. That such crimes can go unpunished in a country supposed to be civilized is enough to make us all shed tears if tears were of any avail. The Pennsylvania boss, quay, has been acquitted by a court of justice and Governor Stone lias appointed him United States Senator. John Wunnamaker says his acquittal will be a disappointment to every lover of justice and every friend of good gov ernment in the United States. The greater the rascal, the harder it is to convict him. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Perhaps never before in the history of this country, was there more work crowded into one week than the farmers of Cherokee put into last week.

Manchkstek, Yii., April 17.—This is the I7th day of April, 1899, and us I set down to write tonight and think over the many incidents of my life, some good and some bad, what a book I could write, one that might warn many a wayward young man from the many vices of life, were I to attempt such a reminiscence. Now seventy years of age 1 might say in tiie language of the prophet, “1 once was young but now I am old, yet have not seen the righteous for saken and his seed begging bread. ’ I have passed through scenes of pros perity as well as adversity. Shake speare said very truthfully. “There is a tide in the affairs of man that if taken at the flood leads on to fortune" and I believe this is true to the letter. We all have our chances of success in life and if we take the opportunity we may succeed. When 1 look back to the opportunities that I have missed in life I can see where I have made many mistakes, but it is too late to correct now. I have made many blunders, both spiritual and temporal, and now when old age has crept upon me I am denied all of the privileges of the past, but thanks to a merciful God I am still permitted to live and breathe the air of heaven, and whilst I know that I am not what I ought to lie, yet I am not still without hope of an eternal res urrection, for we have the promise of our Great Redeemer that He will look over some of our infirmities, although our preachers teil us “that if we fail in one jot or title we are guilty of the whole," but I am one who don’t believe everything I hear, but draw my own conclusions after having read the Bible intelligently for many years. Some say tho world is growing worse. That may be so, but when I consider the great population that now inhabits this terrestrial globe and the various isms of the present day, I am Jed to the conclusion that we are still on an average and we ore doitig as well as circumstances will permit. I heard a sermon some time ago by a reverend ‘divine in which he said that the recent war with Spain was directed by divine influence and that providence had so ordained ic for the purpose of converting the heathen of foreign lands. He may have been right but 1 don’t believe a word of it. I believe it was gotten up by Wall Street for the purpose of speculation, and many thousands of lives have been lost unnecessarily. We are to have a grand time in Richmond the coming week with the Methodist denominations. It is the anniversary of the introduction of Methodism in the state of Virginia, one hundred years ago. A large con course of people is expected from every part of the state and a grand time is expected by that denomina tion. A union depot will be built in the city of Richmond soon which will necessitate the tearing down of sev eral prominent and costly buildings, among which will be the old St. Charles hotel. Richmond is on a boom. Several new industries are about to be started. " Uncle Jimmy. The Autlquity of Cilas*. Glavs lias been employed, we know, both for decorative and domestic pur poses since the dawn of civilization. The earliest remains date from Egypt 3004 B. C. and are preserved in the British museum. It is an amulet, in the form of a lion’s head, of opaque blue color, with hieroglyphics that determine its date. Ou the ruck cut tombs of the necropolis of Memphis glass blowers Were depicted as early as 3000 B. C. Stories are told by Pliny, Josephus and other writers to account for its discov ery, hut those are very doubtful, so that we have only to rely upon facta attested by actual remains. The discovery was doubtless fortui tous. .Such lucky-limls are often the work of chance. When it occurred, we cannot determine; but, so far as we know, Egypt, as sho was the germ of all civilization, was also the mother of this art, which she applied to a multi tudo of purposes, strangely excepting that which we deem most necessary— namely, to admit light into buildings. The dwellers by the Nile handed down the art to the Phoenicians, who in like manner bequeathed it to the As syrians. Then it was passed along to the Persians and the Greeks, then to the Romans and the Byzantines, who in turn communicated it to the Vene tians. The monks of the middle ages appropriated it to beautify their Gotbio temples, and so it came down thooentn- ries to modern times.—Frank II.

NO SENATOR BY PENNSYLVANIANS Legislature Finally Adjourns Without an Election. ‘ EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE Governor Idkrly to R uaseinbln 4ho Holons at nii Harly Data For the Purpose of Nuintug Quay’s Successor and Wiping Out a Dciiclt. HakrisBL'RO, April 20.—The # -sion of the general assembly of 16^9 ad journed fmaliy at noon today after hav ing been in session a little over three and a half months. The session was ono of the shortest in the state’s history and was fraught with interest through out by reason of the spirited contest for United States usnutor. It closed with out the selection of a successor to M. S. Quay and unless Governor Stone calls an extra session, at which there should be an election, Peunaylv.iuia will have only one representative in tho United States senate the next two years. On account of the failure of the legis lature to pass such legislation as would have wiped out the deficiency of $3,- 500,000 in the state treasury and cov ered the estimated ordinary expenses of the state goveruunmt for the next two years, it is not improbable that an extra session will be called. Tho mercantile tax bill wae tho moat important of the numerous schemes for raising revenue that passed both branenes and went to the governor tor his action. The bills taxing foreign and domestic beer and manufacturing corporations were defeated, the for&iur in the senate the latter in the house, as was also the revenue bill framed by the Penusyva- nia state tax couference. The tax con ference bill has fcoeu before every ses sion in the past eight years and It has always met thte fate in the closing hours of the session. The legislature has left a multitude of the bills with the governor for his ac tion, a majority being appropriations for private charities. The session has been remarkable, aside from the long senatorial deadlock, la that it pasaed few biils of general buferest. Politics were injected into the bills having for their purpose the completion of the state capitol, for which the state has already expended $250,000, and it is not likely that any work will be dona on the building for the next two years. COUNSEL FOR QUAY RESTS. ixr <-nsc OflVrs No Tuatiiuony and the Argument Com in nice*. Philadelphia, April 20 —The defense today opened its part o? the proceedings in the trial of Senator Quay ou the charge of conspiracy by moving that the court withdraw the case from the jorv and render a verdict of “not gatW." In support of this motion David T. Watson made a long argument. He began with the statement that early in the trial the prosecution presented an offer to produce evidence connecting M. S. Quay with a conspiracy alleged to have been entered into with Cashier Hopkins of the People’s bank and State Treasurer Haywood for the misuse of state funds deposited m tho People’i bank. Mr. Watson argued that the district attorney had utterly failed to prove itu case and moved that the court strike from the record (ho statement* produced from the books of tho bank because they failed to connect Mr. Quay with th« conspiracy. District Attorney Rothermel, in reply to Mr. Watson’s argument, referred to his offer of proof and declared that the commonwealth has proved the con spiracy completely within the line to which tho court limited it—namely, tho two years antedating Nov. 17, 1S'J6. He said tho letters of Senator Quay to Hop kins were proof of the conspiracy, at was also the fact that for the six motitht ending Oct. 31, Senator Quay had received $lb5,U!)U without interest Judge Biddle said he was not in posh tion to discredit the testimony offered by the commonwealth and he would therefore allow the case to go to thd jury for them to decide. There was a buzz of conversation in the courtroom over this decision ad verse to the defense, and then the Quay lawyers got together for a consultation. At the conclusion of this whispered talk, Attorney Shields made the announce ment that the defense would offer no testimony whatever and would at onc< proceed to the addresses to the jury. In order to save time, Mr. Shieldt offered to waive the right to make the opening speech. If the district attor ney agreed, he said, he would allow tho district attorney to go right on with hi sjieech and he would follow. All this was agreeable to the parties concerned, and Mr. Rothermel at once started, lu a culm, quiet manner, his attempt to con vince the jury that he has established tho guilt of .Senator Quay. Ciuay Man Wields a I’oki-r. Paou, Ind., April 20.—John Flora, whose trial was set for today for the murder of Jessie Burton, whom he shol by mistake for Ben T. Jones of Mitch ell, cannot be put on trial because of fatal injuries received at the hands of n maniac, Sherman Wall. The prisoners are all confined in a single room. Yes terday Wall became frenzied, and seiz ing a poker knocked Flora down and beat him so that he cannot recover. Opium Users ns Witnesses. Canton, O., April 80.—The defense of tho George trial began this morning ila attack on the state witness claimed to be addicted to the oplmn or morphine habit. Dr. Lyman, superintendent of the state asylum for the insane at New- burg, testified as an expert. He eaid a person addicted to the habit loses honor and truthfulness and retains little ov no principle. Sons of Revolution to Meet.

(('orii-'ipondi iici- of The I.i'ilxor ) Hpaktanhhko, Apr. 21.—Tho State ' | Sunday School Convention, which took place here and in which a groat deal of interest has been taken, came to a close Saturday. Among the im portant features of tho last day’s pro ceedings was Dr. Charles’ address on “Sunday Schools Half a Century Ago." The Doctor, on account of his familiarity with that period in tho history of our Sunday School, brought out many interesting points in con trasting the Sunday Schools of the past with those of the present. Following this address 1’rof. N. F. Waiker, superintendent of the Cedar Springs Institute, gave an account of the methods of teaching the deaf and blind pupils of his school. This was very itteresting and instructive. The coming musical festival, in the musical conservatory at Converse Col lege, which will come of on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week, is attracting much attention. We will have in Spartanburg musi cians who are excelled by few and who will, no doubt, make this festi val equal to any of the preceeding ones. A large attendance is expect ed. Prof. H. N. Snyder will leave in a few days on a lecture tour through different points of the south. Mr. 1*. C. Garris leaves for Eskine College next Thursday where lie goes to take part in the inter-collegiate oritorical contest. We wisii him much success. A Soph. A.Cane. A Scottish paper tells a story of an old Scottish woman who was “unco’ dixiuthie,” without the money to buy “a drappie." “Lassie," she said to her little granddaughter, “gang round to Donald McCallum and bring me a gill. Tell him I’ll pay him P the morning.’’ Back came the child with a refusal. Donald declined to part with his whisky without the cash. Eager and irritated, the old woman cast about fur some means of “raising tho wind," and her eye fell upon the family Bible. “Here, lassie," she said, “gio him this and tell him to keep it until I bring him the siller." Off went the little girl, but she soon returned, still carrying the Bible. Donald was obdurate. “Ho says ho maun hao the baubees first, granny." In anger tho disappointed grandmoth er threw' up her bands and exclaimed: “Losh, did ouybody ever hear the like o’ that! The man will neither tak my word nor tho word o’ God for u gill o’ wbnsky 1" Have vou Heard 01 it? You may have heard about SCOTT’S EMULSION and have a vague notion that it is cod-iiver oil with its bad taste and smell and all its other repulsive tea- tures. It is cod-liver oil, the purest and the best in the world, but made so palata ble that almost everybody can take it. Nearly all children like it and ask lor more. SCOTT'S EMULSION looks like cream; it nour ishes the wasted body of the baby, child or adult better than cream or any other food in existence. It bears about the same rela tion to other emulsions that cream does to milk. If you have had any experience with other so-called “just as good” preparations, you will find that this is a fact. The hypophesphites that are combined with the cod-liver oil give additional value to it became they tone up the nervous system and impart strength to the whole body. Aoc. anil $i Oo. all druggists.

Southern Farm Life comments as follows upon the tobacco industry: “Tobacco is becoming the great money crop of South Carolina and West Florida, and in some parts of lower Georgia also. A few years ago experiments in tobacco growing were made in some of tho eastern counties of South Carolina. The results ob tained were little short of wonderful, and today millions of pounds of to bacco are produced in those comities. The new industry has been of the greatest benefit to the farmers. From a condition border! r.g on pov erty, they are now living in compara tive independence. The mortgages on their homes have been paid and they are putting money in the hank. And this is due to tobacco culture." By allowing the accumulations in the bowels to remain, the entire sys tem is poisoned, DeWitt’s Little Early Risers regulate the bowels.
