His sub ject was: “Atlanta Riots and Colum bia Dives,” and what he siys of these cities is, we fear, more or loss true of other places. He spolte from the text: “1 hen cried they all again,* Not this man. hut Barahbas!’ Now Ba ra hhas w:is a robber.” In comment upon sociological conditions, he in part: am addressing you at this ser- on mob law and Co’umbia dives I have selected a text that only ests the two ideas upon which 1 CITY FATHERS MEET. mg said “I vice ami siu Oci b—A gentleman aid the other day that every boll of •ring him that said there WilUnsvilh at Yorl-vi le ho would give $•’» fot cotton any one would made in August. 1 was no August crop. Th ■ continuous wet weather is causing both cotton and corn to rot In the field. The cotton is much worse the corn. Nearly all the corn than that are not hanging with their points downward are more or less damaged. The hulk of the cotton crop is open and much of it picked out. Cotton in j tins section, we don’t believe, will i average ad per cent, of an average crop. Farmers, many of them at J least, are becoming very despondent i about it. Much of that picked out is j heating and it is very probable that i the lint will he more or ’ess damaged | if the wet. cioudv weather continues j much longer. Coupled with this the immense damage done along the gulf | coast, and generally throughout the ! cotton growing belt is reasonable I to conclude that cotton will reach a | fabulous price this season. It is not | so much a cause of rejoicing as re- ! gret that this state of affairs exists. Several years ago Dr M J Walker in speaking of things along this line ssii: “Though we boast of the woaderful resources of our country and have reason to be proud of it. is is not beyond a possibility for us to have a famine here just as they some times have in Fastern countries. Sup pose two. three or four consecutive failures of the grain crop would tube place in the grain-growing section of the United States and not onlv this country hut more or less all Kurope would he made to feel the effect. It would cause a famine throughput the whole civilized world.” How thankful we should he that it is as well with us as it is. As some one has spoken of IHJd be ing a year without a summer we might call this <19d‘>) a summer without a sun. Rome “high larned,” college-bred people take issue with us in what we said recently about Latimer and Itid- lev being burned at Uk> stake. They say its fiction rather than fact. if we couldn’t trace the history of England for nearly 2,000 years (much less six centuries), we would confess we knew nothing about it. • The profound ignorance of such people is on par with the ignorance who scouted the idea of txaptism be ing a sacrament. We have always been taught that “a sacrament is a ho! v ordinance instituted bv Uhrist wherein bv sensible signs, Christ.” and the benefits of the new covenant are represented, sealed and applied to believers.” On account of failing health Mr. Malcom Lowerv has resigned as mail carrier on R.

Barabtns was a robber because certain resorts and associates j asked for Jesus and turned upon so cietv a thief and murderer, because wisdom and social benefit never fol | low mobs. “Atlanta is a fine illustration and I I | now picture that, city during the re- i I cent riot. The mob, it is claimed, turned out to kill negroes guilty of aj j certain offence. They never touched | a single man guilty of this awful : crime, but put to death manv inno cents, caused to he killed many of j their own race, caused a white lady to drop dead, broke up white proper- tv and caused a loss of thousands of white people’s dollars. Sanity never follows a mob and resultant evil falls upon their own heads. The law ma jestic and powerful, is the only agen- cv that can turn the searchlight upon the guilty and bring him forth to tils merited fate without mistake. Let us trust the law. "My main thought in this message Is upon the dives of our city. These are the schools in which our young le gro men are educated in crime and heap upon our heads all that on our part brings about trouble between the races. The dives in Columbia are situated on Washington street, be- tween Main and Assembly, on Assem- bly street between Washington and Gervais, and on Gervais street be tween Main and the Seaboard depot. A dive as defined by the Atlanta city council last week is a place where people meet to loiter, eat food and drink whiskey and have improper privileges. This is what 1 mean by a Columbia dive. The negro billiard rooms and little side fish stands are the biggest dives in any city and the greatest menace to our common wealth. “I don’t know how much revenue these are to our city. but. 1 do believe that under God they should be closed up. “Thieving among our people in Co lumbia has become alarming and 1 venture to sav that nine out of every ten male thieves among my people got their inspiration in the pool dives of this city. Help us to wipe out these places and you have the nearest solu tion to our labor problem. “I assert from scientific study that v r ' place is so calculated to take out of a human being the habit of industry as the present day pool room. For my own race may the Eternal hasten the day when the entirety of these places shall he wiped awav from us. “Another class of dives I call Co lumbia’s attention to is the midnight dance halls. These reach the negro f*'inale among us. No girl can dance all night and do an honest day’s work the next day. The dance hall is an evil that reaches the highest soclially and Jhe lowest socially and the only way to reach those that, need reach- in" is to stop all.” J. L. S Mattercs of Importance Discussed and Business Transacted. The regular monthly meeting of the citv counsel was held in the city coun sel chamber last Friday night. A. B. Smith, a well known mechanic of this city was elected to the no ice force to take the place of Oftic'r “Cap” Lemmons, resigned. Two applications for charter for a street railway were made to the board. One was from H. I). Wheat and associates, while the other was from N. H. Littlejohn and associate. The matter was discussed at length and it was finally discovered that the counsel had no authority to grant a charter: that the law requires that | such matters he submitted to a vote of the people. It was decided that J the Projier thing to do was to follow j the mandates of the law, therefore the question of a street railway will lie submitted to the people in some form or another before a great whi e. Another matter that, engaged the attention of the counsel and brought forth lively discussion the condition of the cemetery, counsel seemed to realize that it not given the city of the dead proper attention in the past and withstanding the fact that the streets bordering the cemetery are in better condition now than for several years past they decided to go a step father and clean out the walk ways, etc., and at earnestly request owners of lots to have their lots properly cleaned off. As matters now stand the ceme tery is grown up in broom straw and weeds, and some of the graves are UteraUv Covered with this unsightly "rowth instead of flowers, as they should be. The counsel will be ap plauded for this action. The question of admitting two elec trical power concerns Into the city was deferred until the 15th instant when another meeting will be held and this matter considered. Routine business engaged the at tention of the counsel for the remaind er of the session. SHORT NEWS ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST.

Frequent reference has been made in tile Field to the returns from a small piece of land in the South, car rying poultry, fruits, vegetables, stock and other lines which can be looked after by the women or children of the family. A striking illustration of what can be accomplished in this di rection is the experience of Mrs. I. E. Richardson and sister. Miss Lucy Ge rm!, at Coden, Alabama, on the Mo bil** & Ohio Railroad. With their aged mother, these ladies occupy the old Gerard homestead, which has been the family residence for more than fifty years. Thirty-eight acres are contained in the home place, of which but the minor portion is used in the crowing of pecans and figs, and. 1 the raising of poultry and a few head of stock. There is not a map about the place, Mrs. Richardson’s eleven-year-old son monopolizing all the credit which ac crues to the male line of the family. The ladies carry on the place with only such outside assistance as in necessary at times in the gathering of fruits and nuts. There are about 150 fig trees on the place, but the product of some twenty-five is employ ed in the preserving of the fruit, of which Mrs. Richardson estimates a thousand pints can be put up. these selling at $1 per doz n. Five thous and pounds of pecans were gathered last season from fifty trees and sold at ten cents a pound, the nuts being shinned to Mobile. About 100 hens are kept, the figures for March of this year showing that 134 dozen eggs were sold in that month at twenty cents j dozen. The ladies kept an accurate record of their financial transactions and their books show that from about seventy-five hens in 1905 titev not only received $85 in money, but such additional sums as paid for the feed of the chick ens and the keeping of the family hors- and cow. all of these besides eegs and iKmltrv for the table. Dur ing the past ten years a few head of stock have been raised, and sufficient sales of beef e*»ttl« were ma'Y to show an annual dividend of thirty- three and a third iw*>- cent on the amount invested, without counting the additional sums which have occasion ally been realized for stock b| for other purposes. The Gerard homestead, pleasantly situated near th*; hay shore, is sur rounded by tre o 8. the princiti-*! one being a live oak. sixty feet in height, whose spreading branches of about 1511 feet delightfully shade the yard and porch of the residence. The place is well supplied with various fruits, including grapes and oranges. film my Simpson, representing Barkoot Carnival company, was in the city Saturday trying to get his at traction into Gaffney, but there was absolutely “nothing doing."

We are always gratified to note the improved condition of the morals of our community. It is the best evi dence in the world that prohibition is best for a community, and this is our contention. • j shooting by the negro. J. E. Gailliard, j of Sumter, is lying in a hospital in that citv with a death wound. Mr. ihe i ^''-''kett, of Bishopville, is painfully wounded, and W. E. Haseldon slightly wounded. It appears that Gailliard. Burkett and Haseldon rode up to the circus train, which was on a sidetrack at Manning, during the early part of last night. The men had been fox hunt- in" and hailed the members of the circus. There appears to have been i -o ne little altercation and a negro in | one of the cars stuck his head out of Brothers th. window and be°;an cursing and shooting. The result was as above stated. The train then went on to Sumter and the Manning officials te u eioaphed for the arrest of the guilty parties. At Sumter the train was boarded by Policeman Pearson and Mr. Burkett, who was but slightly wounded. The m*>n weni on down to Bishopville with the circus train and Small was iden- tified as the man who had done the shooting and he. along with Master of Transportation Spiven and Employes W. H Ford and E. Dillon, was put un der arrest and turned over to Sheriff Muidrow, of Lee county. In the meantime Gailliard had been taken to Sumter and placed in a bos pital. He is a very popular man in that county, having for some time been deputy sheriff an.l having been defeated by but a few votes for the office of sheriff, indignation was high in Sumter and a mob was formed to meet the train which came lu from Bishopville with the prisoners. The crowd was waiting at the denot and was addressed there by Hon. Richard I. Manning, who ple^d for order. Mr. Manning had in the meantime commu nicated with Governor Heyward and the governor had wired to Sheriff Muidrow, of Lee county, to carry his prisoners over to Camden and from thence on up to Columbia. Sheriff Muidrow drove from Bishopville to Camden, took the Seaboard train at that place, and is scheduled to arrive in this city at an earlv hour tomorrow and no further trouble is anticipated.
