Its voice, too, is for the independence of the infant republic of the gem of the Antilles. "Free Cuba and the independeuce of the island repub* lie" was the shibboleth of this body throughout the four days' debate which ended tonight by the adoption of the following resolution: "Joint resolution for the recognition of the independence of. the people and republic of Cuba, demanding that the government of Spain relinquish its authority and government in the island of Cuba, and to withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing the President of the United States to use the land and naval forces of the United States to carry these resolutions into effect. "Whereas, The abhorrent conditions which have existed for more than three years in the island of Cuba, so near our own borders, have shocked the moral sense of the people of the United States; have been a disgrace to Christian civilization, culminating, as they have, in the destruction of a United States battleship with 2(50 of its officers and crew, while on a friendly visit in the harbor of Havana, and cannot longer be endured, as has been set forth by the President of the United States in his message to Congress of April 11, 1898, upon which the action of Congress was invited, therefore, Resolved. By the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. "First, That the people of the island of Cuba are, and of right ought to be free and independent and that the government of the United States hereby recogrtizes the republic of Cuba as the true and lawful government of that island. "Second, That it is the duty of the United States to demand and the government of the United States does hereby demand that the government of Spain at once relinquish its authority and government in Cuba and withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters. "Third, That the President of the United States be, and he is hereby directed and empowered to use the entire land and naval forces of the United States, and to call into the actual service of the United I ? ?

"Fourth, That the United States hereby disclaims any disposition or intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over said island, except for the pacification thereof; and assert their determination when that is accomplished, to leave the government and control of the island to its people."

FIRST CROP RKPORT. Vegetation of All Kinds Made kittle Growth During the Week. The following is the first of the weekly bulletins of the weather bureau for the crop season of 1898: U. S. Department of Agriculture. South Carolina Section, Climate and Crop Service, Weather Bureau, Weekly Crop Bulletin. Columbia, S. C., April 12, 1898. The weather during February was steadily cool and drj\ the rainfall amounting to only 24 per cent of the normal for the State. The actual rainfall averaged 5.46 inches less than the normal during January and February, and the deficiency was farther increased, in places only, during March, but has been considerably reduced by the generous rainfall of April up to date, which has brought the total amount since March 1st about equal to the normal for this period. These conditions were favorable for the preparation of lands during February and March, which work progressed rapidly and is now about ten days in advance of its usual stage for this date, with fields practically all ready for corn and cotton. Even bottom laods that are usually too wet to be plowed until about May have been in good condition for working. Planting of the staple crops was in advance of the season up to the beginning of April, since then the cool weather and heavy rains have retarded this work, especially over the western portions of the State, where the ground was frozen hard on two mornings. tr a,a - f -11 1-T .J. 1- lit > egeiauou vi un kiuub umuo uui little if any growth daring the week as the temperature fell l>elow .the active growing point, each night, over a large portion of the State. Owing to the favorable weather during March farm work is well advanced and corn has bean planted in portions of the State, being practically finished for early corn over the more easterly portions. Much that was up was injured by frost, the damage was especially severe in Horry county. The usual amount of replanting is necessary on account of crows and cut worms, the latter giving much trouble in plaoes daring the cool weather. Corn that had been recently cultivated was badly hurt by the frost, while fields near by that had not been worked were untouched. Cotton planting has made considerable progress over the eastern counties, while little has been planted over the western portions or in the extreme northeast, but the preparation of lands is well advanced and indicates that about the same area will be put in cotton as last rear. As bat little cotton was up, the damage by frost was slight Sea island ootton is up in many places and looking well. Rice planting is well advanced, unusually so in the lower rice districts, while in the Georgetown fair progress has been made. Tobacco plants are plentiful and large for the season; very little transplanting has been done yet, owing#to the cool weather. Oats are looking very promising, except in portions of tne south-eastern counties, where it was so dry during the winter. Frost apparently did not hurt much, if at all. simply checked its rapid growth. The same is true of wheat, although wheat in places turned slightly yellow. As neithdt wheat nor oats had begun to "joint" at the time the most severe frost occurred, they will not be materially hurt by the freeze. Melons where up were badly frosted, and garden truck in general suffered more or less in all portions of the State, even in the coast truck districts, where frosts in April are very rare. Pasturage started to grow very well in March, but latterly has been rather scant Gardens very backward generally, although instances are reported of remarkably early maturity. Large shipments are being made from the Charleston district of strawberries, beans, peas and potatoes. J. W. Bauek, Sec. Dir., Columbia, S. C. STATUS OF THE ALLIANCE. What President Wllborn Says About the Cotton Growers* Movement. Id an address to the Alliance of the State, reeeiitly issued, President Wilborn thus refers to the cotton growers' fight and the action of the officials of the order: "I have been active in the Cotton Growers' association. I have worked in season and out of season, pleading with the farmer to reduce acreage. 1 feel that much has been done. I am not discouraged. All cannot be done in one year. Jf the farmers of the Mouth were out of debt and had provisions of their own for 12 months we would not raise 6,000,000 bales of cotton this year. "The Alliance bhs taught many to make their own 'hog and hominy.' It has taught the jnte trust that the organized farmer is a power. It has taught the oppressor that there is a point beyond which forbearance ceases to be a virtue. It has shown us that in unity there is strength. I issued a call for the 'rally day' for the sab-Alliance, and the result has been very gratifying. From all parts of the State come good reports, but from some subAlliances they report no quorum. I am glad to say these are very few, and to these I desire to suggest that they establish the 'darter guard,' whiob will be five members of the sub-Alli I ances agreeing to keep the charter in good standing by paying the annual dues?county, State and National? whether they have monthly meeting? or not" A Paris school advertises to teach Its. pupils how to blush.

It seems so brief a while Since this still hour betweeu the day and dark Was lightened by a little fellow's smile: Since we were' wont to mark The sunset's crimson dim to gold, to pray. Content to kuow that, though he loved to ruam Care free among the comrades of his play, Twilight would lead him home. K year ago'.'

Looked forward to his coming in the gloom; If so our hearts leaped out to meet the lad Whose smile lit ail the roomShall there not be a Presence waiting thus To still the bitter craving of the quest?

"Back iO Cbtist!" has been the rallying cry of a few prophets of a better day for Christianity. It has penetrated the Christian conscience oi a considerable number, inspiring and unifying for the noblest purposes and achievements. Many have abandoned the tithing of the mint, Hnise and cummin, and. catching a real glimpse of the mind and spirit of Christ, huve sought to reproduce His life in themselves and in others. But as an accompanying buglecall we need to take up the cry, "Back to the Church !'* 1'erhaps there is nothing more pathetic or more indicative of a dnugrroits trend in these days than the radical change manffested by the general public toward the Christian church. The oldtime reverent regard for the sacredness and authority of the church is nowhere shown in our large communities, and is fading out in the country towns. We believe the members of the Christian church are very largely responsible for this condition of things. For a quarter of a century the lodge, temperance organizations, the Grand Army, the grauge and later the young people's societies have been treated by the membership of the churches as of equal im, nance with the church which the Son of died to inaugurate. We have been maklug the annex to the Christian church larger ami more important tbnn the church itself. We are only reaping, therefore, what we have sown. That degenerate, deleted, weak ened body wnicn we can me cnurcn is the human organization which we have fashioned. At the very time when the Roman Empire officially declared its acceptance of the Christian faith, paganism with its sensuous ideas and concessions had already interpenetrated and paralyzed it. The Christian church Is now passing through a similar experience. Schliermaeher ; ightly said that the church was a society in which every regenerate soul is u component part. Wesley, in his remarkuble sermon, "On the Church." said: "The church is called holy because it is holy: because every member thereof is holy, though in different degrees; as He that called them is holy.*' President Thwing has this excellent modern definition: "The work of Christ's redemption is continued by His church. The lauor of the church, therefore, is priraurily the turning or men from sin unto righteousness. Its purpose is the incarnation of boliuess in the individual and community." The church is, or should be. Christ's representative uit this earth.living out and working out His life and dying vicariously as He did for the salvation of men. But we have been busy making it a pretty, reputable and enjoyable thing. We have been content, even anxious, to transform the church into asocial cluband palace of entertainment and amusement. We have stooped to and coddled the multitude until the identity of Christian discipleshlp is scarcely discernible. The Christian hHS become soft and enervated by this scaling down practice. Atonement. forgiveness, regeneration, conscious salvation, holiness, nave become unwelcome words, with little present and personal signification. The church is eclipsed by a multitude of semi-sentimental and semimoral organizations. It is a time for spiritual surgery, for cauterization and excision. "And If thy hand offend thee, cut it off." "And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off." "And if thine eye offend thee, pluck It out. It is better for tbee to enter into the kimrdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell Are." Then back to the church; to the church of the ' living God," of the "first born;" to the church against which "the gates of hell shall npt prevail;" to the church iu which we were forgiven, and which put a new song into our mouths: to the church so pure, so white, so single-eyed and robust, and withal so spiritually transformed, that it can lead lost men to salvation. "Blessed is he whosever is not offended in j me." This is a precious message to the spirit who today is longing for a richer and deeper spiritual life. When one knows the reality of the Christ-given life within and the opening of the Word of God by the Holy Spirit and feels the power of it all, it seems sometimes as if there should be more positive restraint of sinful and idle thoughts. When one longs fcr unbroken freedom iu prayer and an escape from wandering thoughts it seems as If the victorious One would give the sound of his conquering tread and assured victory. "Art thou he who should come?" is the soul cry. It is easy to say. "Having done so much could he not do more?" Then is the time to say, "Lord, thou knowest what I would have. Be it unto me as thou wilt" ?8. B. C. "One thing have I desired, that will I seek after: that I"?in my study.

The primary cause ot dyspepsia Is lack oi vitality; the abeenee of nerve force; theloei of the life-sustaining elements Of the blood. Ho organ can properly perform its function when the sonroe of nutriment fails. When the stomach is robbed of the nourishi ment demanded by nature, assimilation ! ceases, unnatural gases are generated; the ! entire system responds to the discord. A practical illustration of the symptoms and torture of dyspepsia is famished by < the esse of Joseph T. Vandyke, 440 Hickory , St., Scranton, Pa. In telling his storv, Mr. Yaadyke says: I "Fire years ago 1 was afflicted with a i trouble of the stomach, i which was very aggravating. I had no appetite, Jk/J i could not enjoy myself aty|fflW^V . any time, and es^cinllyWjfWwy.X was the trouble severe \ when I awoke in the morn- aCFrK X i*g. I did not know what | the aliment wot, bat it be- ' f ' came steadily worse and I I was in constant misery. , I,' I ! "I called in my family If physician, and he dlag- ly. nosed the case as catarrh ? I of the stomach. He pre- ^ scribed for me and I had ? his prescription filled. I In Mitry. took nearly all of the medicine, bnt still the trouble became worse, and Ijfalt that my condition wgs hopeless. I tried seVeral remedies recommended by my friends bat ; without benefit. After I had^een suffering several months, Thomas Campbell, also a | resident of this city, urged me to try Dr. ! Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. i "He finally persuaded me to bay a box and I began to use' the pills according to directions. Before I had taken the second : box I began to feel relieved, and after taking a few more boxes. I considered myself restored to health. The pills gave me new , lire, sirengio, summon sua usppmew. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure dyspepsia by restoring to the blood the requisite oon; 9tltuents(of lite, by renewing the nerve force and enabling the stomach to promptly and properly assimilate the food. -.These pills are a specific for all diseases having their origination In impoverished blood or I disordered nerves. They contain every element requisite to general nutrition, to restore strength to the weak, good health to the ailing. Reduced Rates in May.

Value of Skim Milk. i When a set of farmers do not know I that good skim uii!k at 1LV per 10U 1 pounds is a bargain, what must be the I real state of dairy intelligence among j them?
