Chicago, Aug. 5.—After a visit to President McKinley at Canton, Senator Cullom says there is not likely to bo any general tariff legislation next winter, but that some of the pending commer cial treaties ought to pass tho senate. The senator also talked of government policies iu other lines. The senator returned home last even ing and went at once to Highland Park, where he is spending the summer. When asked as to tho story that Sen ator Hanna had gone to Canton to get aid from tho president in settling the steel strike. Senator Cullom ssid: "I know there is nothing iu that re port. Senator Hanna, President Mo- Kiuley aud myself talked of the strike as we did of other matters of current in terest, hut there was no suggestion from Senator Hanna at any time that he was i»»; - up in the mutter ut all. ” Speaking of the action likely to be taken by congress at tho next session. Senator Cullom said: "We shall have to enact some legisla tion regarding the Philippines, bnt not much I think. Porto Rico is now all disposed of, ami there is nothing to do for it. Aa far as Cuba is concerned, it has accepted the American proposals, aud we have nothing to do but let it alone and let it work out its own salva tion. From all information I can get, the feeling is growing stronger iu Cuba every day iu favor oi final annexation to this country. It will grow stronger and stronger as the Cubans find their neighbors in Porto Rico enjoying the benefits of free trade with this country, which they are debarred from.” "Wkat prospect is there of tariff leg islation by congress next winter?” was asked of the aeuator. “I do not think there will'be any at least iu the form of a general revision of tiie tariff. Uf course I wm not iu a position to speak authoritatively for the president, bnt I feel I am representing his ideas when I say that. "There are, however, some things wo ought to do which will amount to a par tial revision of ihe :anff. There are ut present pending before the senate some ten commercial treaties. These things aro of a reciprocity character aud if they are ratified will amount toachange in tho tariff with tho countries with which they are made. It seems to me as if it would be wise to ratify at least some of them. A feeling has grown up abroad that the United States is dis posed to not iu what may be called a hoggish manner iu iis trade relations, and if these reciprocity treaties cau be drawn so as to be for the mutual ad vantage of both countries entering into them I think it would bo beneficial all around.” not up to Mark. English Yachtsmen Have Little Hope That Sliuiiircclc II Will Win. New York, Aug. 5.—According to Foxhall Keene, who returned from Europe on tlie Celtic, Euglish yachts men have little hope that Shamrock II will lift the cup. "I-heard many comments,” ho said, "aud from them I judge the general be lief exists in yuentiug circles that she is not up to the mark.” Mr. Keene, who was accompanied by his wife, said they had a delightful trip on tho Celtic, but it was marred by tne death on the voyage of his famous prize Airsdulo terrier, Rock princess, which was purchased for #1,000, but became more valuable when it was judged the champion of the world of its class. "While I was on tho other side,” said Mr. Keene, "I played about eight games of polo. I was disappointed, however, at not being able to get together a team to play for tho champion cup. 1 am certain a good team of Americans would, to quote Sir Thomas Lipton, ‘lift the cup. ’ They play good polo over there, but I have seen many superior games hero. " We cau beat tho English iu almost anything. Our race horses aro winning every day and our jockeys are outriding their Euglisn brothers.” Mr. Keene said ho intended to particb pate iu the championship polo games to be played iu Boston during tho first week in September.

EttaJank, Aug. 3.—The children's day proceedings has added another brilliant chapter to the history of old Salem church and its friends are re joicing over it. Its many friends acattered throughout the distant west and elsewhere will look for The Ledger to give a full report of the meeting which we will attempt to do in this letter. 'Early Thursday morning all the roads leading to the church were filled with vehicles of almost every kind, together with horsemen, wheelmen and pedestrians making their way to the church to witness or take part in the proceedings. By ten o’clock the church grounds were covered with people and they kept coming until after the exercises had been opened some time. Fully 800 people were present. York, Chester, Union and Cherokee coun ties were all represented, with sev eral from our sister State, North Carolina. The church was beautifully deco rated. Over the speaker’s stand was the word “Welcora«.” A profusion of flowers and evergreens filled the building with their beauty and fra grance. On the right of the stand hung the United States fig. On the left was the Salem Sunday school flag, on one side of which in large letters was inscribed: ‘‘From Bethlehem’s Manger to Calvary’s Cross.” On the reverse side was. “It is finished.” The children of the Sabbath school marched into the church and took their position in frpnt of the stand facing the congregation. The col umn was headed by Leslie Wright, who carried the Salem Sunday school banner, on which was inscribed, ‘‘God is love,” and faith, hope and charity each forming crescents above and below the cross which occupied tho center. In the column was va rious flags, banners and designs car ried by tho different classes. The last and least of which was carried by little Albert Conner, of the infant class. It was the South Carolina flag, with a snow white Palmetto tree occupying the center of a blue ground. Each class formed jn front of the stand with the infant class in the front rank and the higher grades as they come in irrespectively with the senior or Bible class iu the rear. At a signal from the bell each rank turned ‘‘right face,” and tho school sang, ‘‘Stand up, stand up for Jesus,” etc. Rev. C. A. B. Jen nings arose aud asked the congrega tion to stand and sing ‘‘Praise God from whom all blessings flow,” after which he led in prayer. The school then sang a song of welcome and then followed a prayer by Rev. 8. T. Creech for God’s bless ing on the occasion. Address of welcome by 8. J. Strain. The Christ child—Willie Blackwell.

The fatal glass—Leslie Blackwell. Dialogue—Genius and application ; Mattie Lee, (Marion), Jessie Strain, (Fannie.) The parting lovers—S. J. Strain, (Charlie) Maude Blackwell (Katie). This ended tho exercises of the children. Wo then had some excel lent talks from Mr. S. M. Rice, of Union, and Rev. 8. T. Creech, of Kelton. These two able speakers, with Rev. C. B. Jennings added much to the pleasure of the day. After singing "When the roll .s called up yonder we’ll be there,” the benediction was pronounced by Rev. S. T. Creech and thus euded the most successful children's day exer cises that it has ever been our privi lege to attend. To the children alone and to Breth ren Jennings, Rice and Creech we are indebted for the success of the occasion. These, without that moral support and encouragement due them, worked for its success and their labors were abundantly reward ed. Now we can all throw up our hats and shout, ‘‘Three cheers for old Salem.” Those of the congregation who came for tho occasion alone was the best behaved we have ever met at Salem. J. L. s. CHAPTER OF LIFE. The Vicissitudes of Vain Man From the Cradle to tlie Grave. 1. Man that is born of woman is small potatoes and few in a hill. 2. He riseth up in the morning and ^iourisheth like a ragweed, and to morrow the undertaker hath him in an ice box. 3. The banister of life is full of splinters, and man slidetb down it with considerable rapidity. 4. In his infancy he cried in the day time, and at night ho is afraid of the dark. He clingeth to his mother nightly, and spoileth the re pose of his father, and alarmeth the neighborhood. 5 In his youth he climbeth up a fool hill and from that eminence he thinketh his wisdom unbounded. G. He gooth to school in the morn ing and planneth how he may easiest out-wit his teacher; and cometh home at night with pains in his head and streqks on his back; and with greediness eateth an abundant sup per, and then goeth to bed without knowing his lessons. 7. He maketh haste to fall in love with a pretty lassie, and tireth not of making goo-goo eyes at her from tho opposite side of the school while the teacher is looking other direction. - 8. He delighteth in battles royal with other boys, and oftimes findeth himself ornamented with a black eye in consequence. 9. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he is an unmitigated sham, seeking what he may devour, and resting not unless he bath been in mischief. 10. He thoroughly wasteth his school days and knbweth not what they are worth till they are over. 11. After these things, he settleth down in life and marrieth a red headed heiress with a wart on her nose; and behold, her paternal an cestor straightway goeth under with large liabilities and small assets and cometh home to live with his beloved sou-io-law. Moreover tho last state of that man is worse than the first. CONDITION OF COTTON IN SOOTHERN STATES Monthly Report of Depart ment of Agriculture.
