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
? ? V i. J. I
States, to sucn eAieni as way
be necessary to carry these
resolutions into effect.
"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

sOD'S MESSAGE TO MAN.
T
PREGNANT THOUGHTS FROM THE
WORLD'S GREATEST PROPHETS.
At Twilight - Bark to the Church-Work
of Chrial'a Redemption Continued The
Turning of Men From Sin I'nto
Righteousness - Menage to the Spirit.
Was it so long? 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'.' The well-remembered hail
Of happy-hearted children on the green
We hear tonight, and see the sunset pale.
The distant hills between:
But when the busy feet shall homeward turn.
When little wearied heads shall seek for
rest.
Where shall you find the weight for which
you yearn.
Oh. tender mother-breast?
Dear lips, that in the twilight hushed trod
dim
Lulled him with murmured fantasies of
song:
Dear slender arms.tbat safely sheltered him,
The empty years are long!
The night's caressing wind moves babbling
on.
And all the whispered gossip of the firs
Is busy with his name who now is gone?
Yly little lad and hers!
But if we so. with eager eyes and glad.
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?
Shall there not be a welcome, too, for us
When we go home to rest? \
Yes. God bo thanked for this: the ashengowned
Nwee: presence of the twilight, and. afar.
The strong, enduring hills, in beauty
crowned
With one white, steadfast star!
A year ago? What, love, to us are years?
The selfsame twilight, cool and calm and
dim,
That led him home to us. despite our fears,
Suali lead us home to him.
?G. W. Carry! in the Century.
k'urk to the Church.
"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"

or our work tables, may be in our Father's

The Cmm off Dyspepsia.
From tka RrpvbUcan, Scranion, Ftnna.
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

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

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.

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? These farmers have beeu sneeri
ing at "book farming" for years; they
: have been calling the institute workers
"theorists," and^ every effort on the
part of experiment stations, dairy papers
and all other agencies has beeu
thrown away in striving to make them
! see good, clean agricultural truth,
j Their estimate of the value of the skim
inilk is a key to their sound practical
! knowledge of the dairy business in geu!

In a recent article of uncommon
! merit, a writer says: "The curse of
i America is the wanton abuse of honorable
men in high places. We are
driving our best citizens out of our service.
The hardened politicians only will
be left to conduct our"affairs. Already
the men of culture, refinement and delicate
sensibility turn their back on public
erapioymeut. It Is unfair, sinful,
suicidal." This witness is true. We
know many men of uncommon gifts
j who hesitate to accept pftblic preferI
nwnr WniKA it Involves the nossibllltv
of being blackguarded as 11 tbey were
so many pick-pockets.
PILES
"I ioflfcr?d (he torture# of the damned
with protruding piles brought on by const!pstion
with whtoh I was afflicted for twenty 1
years. I ran across your CASCARETS Id the
town of Newell. la. and nerer found anything
to equal them. To-day I am entirely free from
piles and feel like a new man."
