Animal Meeting Of the State Orange of South Carolina. Sensible Address pf WorvJiy Mas? ter W. K Thompson, Showing the Object and Importance of . the Grange. Next Annual fatting to be Held at Bish&pvilie. Hagood, Deo. 2.-The Stale Grande . of Sooth Carolina held its regalar ab B?al meeting here yesterday Worthy Mittler Thompson presidio g. The n as tor read hrs an o aal add ress : Worthy Brother?" ?nd Sisters of the State Grange of Sooth Carolina: It becomes my" do ty again to address yoa oo the condition of the Orier io oar State and So reason with yoa a poo the seeds aod, requirements * of the Grange. For twenty-five years the Orange baa been en agricultural Organ watson tn oar State, which bas been etroestly laboring for the material, social and intellectual advancement of the farmer, ?o^d I wish to cor g rat ai a te yan apon the saecess we have attained No uifloence has done more to advance tlteBOcial culture and enjoyment of the former than the Grange Ou? coope? rative efforts have done mach towards rtdooiog the pt ices of fertilizers, farm supplies and implements and loo se o old anppfies, and cor yoa og sons and daughters have enjoyed rare opportuni? ties for iotelleetoal improvement, which bave been fraught with wonderful bringing forth of Trait. Th? Grange bas been a grand organization for the farmer, and it bas always been a matter of great wonder te me that every farm er in the land is not a zealous Granger. We believe an organisation of tbe farm era an absolote necessity in. this coun? try Also, we believe ib selecting such lenders as are thoroughly identified and in sympathy with agriculture interests. Wo believe ia organisation, not to against any other or ^rofessioti, bot for our it is with great pleas upon the awakening which indicates lis n eoe ss i y, and With the great army seeking to secure for leir families a fair of their own labor, as I said two years i bow progressive we, aa may become, if we cannot tbe benefit of what is properly oar owe, oar best efforts* are lost i we be ^eo?ae the dope pf somebody else. f>"A? to the condition of the Order in ^ tbi? State : While the Grange is not a* ^'fenrishiag as it osoe waa, still we are jrrowiog, and o om ber more to day than , we did a year ago Two new Granges bare been organized, and I am con > . lVTO0ed that if the proper effort was pat forth ?we could organize many new Granges and reorganize many of those . that once were strung, aod thu? ir - crease our number and influence throughout oor entire State, and it gives me pleasure to State that ocr Na? tional Grange stands ready to give ns ewe?ry aid we can .reasonably expect. Bat. brothers and sisters, we need ex .pees no belp if we do not help ourselves. vVe can build ap the Order if we ase .earnest, presistent work. Now. shall we make tbe effort ? Will this State Grange, now m session, devise and pot toto operation such pisos as will build op the Order ? Th?s subject will and oogntt to engage oor serions considera? tion, and I traat you will not adjourn tili yon. take some decided step in this matter. ip I regret that I cannot report a pros perons condition among our farmers. Oar food crops have been fairly good, bot oar cotton crop, (the principal mooey crop,)' while o ot a fol! yield, is ; being marketed at a price that does cot pay for producing, and, in my judg? ment, leaves the farmer in a worse rcondition than a year ago. A remedy for this is bei og sough: Ao au rest exists among all the producing classes, : ' aod to-day farmers are being urged to assemble, to agitate and discuss this great question. A foll discussion of. these matters should be encouraged, for oat of disoassioo light aod help may nome. Upoo this question of obtaioiog better prices for oor farm products there is, I know, a radical differeoo? of opinion, aod to expressing my views I do not mean to bind this body or aoy member of oar Order, and I do not koow that I can say more than I said to yon io my address- two years ago, viz : "That tbe farmers bold the key to tbe situation. Plant less cotton and re? does the cost of makiog it by prodooiog everything necessary on the farm, and tbos become, io deed aod io troth, pro? ducers and not altogether consumers Let every member of oar Order through . oot tbe load ase bis iofloenoe to prevent the increase io the acreage of oottoo for tbe fotare. 1 woald farther arge oar members everywhere to ate every effort to induce oar national legislative body to pats soeh laws that will forever pre? vent future specolation io farm prod oats aod let tbe ioexorable !aw of sopply aod demand fix the price of oar pro? duce " Until we cao become independ? ent of tbe factor and merchant, by diversifying oor crops and selling more tbao we boy. we cannot expect to be io a poeitioo to better our condition or lift ourselves from the position of "bewers of wood aod drawers of water." Another burning question should bare your consideration, viz, tbe unjust tare demaoded of oottoo producers We to-day pay 6 per cent tare, whe^ in reality the weight of cotton covering amounts to only 3 J to 4 per cent. The farmers eh on ld not rest till some meas ure is taken by our National Congress to rid us of this unjust borden I brought this matter before the National Grange at its last meeting and urged some action by that body. It was my pleasure to attend the meeting of the National Grange, which convened in the city of Harrisburg, Pa, on the 19th nf November, aod it is ex tremely gratifying to say tb*at the Or? der throughout the United States was never tn a more flourishing condition, both aa to members and fioances. And now, sisters and brothers, I wish io conclusion' to express my thanks to the officers and members of tffis State Convention for the earnest support which you have given to my administration. Without such help it must have failed Any progress we have made as ap Order is due to the earnest, zealous patrons you represent, a?d I h?p? that every effort will be made to add to our membership from ?ie solid, conservative, thinking men and women of the farm Ic re? tiring from the responsible posi? tion to which you selected me I can only ask for my successor the same support whioh you have given me And now to the work of the session and may God direct and bless our labors This being the time for-the election of officers the following were eleoted to serve for thc next two years, namely : W K Thompson, master ; J J Shaw, overseer; J W English, lecturer; W J Young, S ; J C Bullock, A S;CJ Rollings, chaplain ; fi J Boy kin, treasurer ; W A James, G K ; Mrs W K Thomson, P ; Mrs J J Shaw, F ; Mrs J W English.

L Davis. The Grange adjourned to meet at B'shopvi?le the second Wednesday of December, 1898 The State Grange was elegantly en ter tai oed by the Orange Grange, for which a vote of thanks was offered. The Good Hoads Movement.

L DONALDSON, Chairman of Committee. ? Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic Cures Fever Work For Congress, Matters Likely to Come Up for Consideration. Washington, Deo. 5.-The regular, or loog session of congress, ss it is called because there DO constitutional limits upon the per iod of its du ration. opeos at noon to-morrow. The leaders aod a large majority of the members of both houses are here to participate io tbe openiog cere? monies, and President Mc Kio loy has made tbe journey to Washington from the bedside of bis dying mother that his absence might not delay the Di? tton al legislature at its assembling. Tba extra session robs the opeoing of the regular session of excitement and interest which usually attaches to it On the eve of a regular session ordina? rily Washington thrills with excite? ment. The hotel lobbies sargo with place huorers io the wake of the vari? ?os candidates, for speaker, clerk, door? keeper, etc The members are strug? gling for oommittee assignments and the air is full of rumors aod plots and I counterplots But as the house was completely organized at the extra ses? sion and all toe committee assignments were made then, beyond the natural stimulus produced by the returning statesmeo, the regular hangers on of legislation and the outlining of schemes by members of "the third house." or lobby, Washington to-nigbt is tranquil The programme of the house to-morrow is very simple, and beyond the spec? tacular show which it offers there ie little attraction The boase will be called to order by the speaker, who, after the chaplain's iovooatioo, will direst the clerk to call the roll This having been accom? plished aod the presence of a quorum demonstrated, the clerk will be directed to notify the senate that the bouse is ready for business and a committee will be appointed to wait upoo the Presi? dent. After that there will be a recess' to await the arrival of the President's annual message, which will be read upon its reception and be followed by ao adjournment ur.til Taesday. This is the rag ol ar routine, and OD less some I thiog ooforseeo occurs, will not be de parted from. It is the intention of the house lead era to proceed with the business of the session as rapidly as possible. The committees will all begio their labors this week, and as all of them have more or less bills on haod which were introduced at the extra session there will be oo lack of material for the boase to work oo after the committees have begun work. The appropriations com minee have been at work for ten days, and Chairman Cannon expects to pass at least two of the regular budgets be? fore the holidays-che legislative, exe? cutive aod judicial aod tbe pension ap? propriation bills One or the other of these fills, it is expected, will be re? ported by Wednesday, and the end of the week promises to see the bouse dowe to business Among the early general measures to receive considera? tion will be the bankruptcy bill Whether it will be tho Nelson bill, which passed the senate at tbe last ses? sion, or a modification of the Torrey bill, depends upon tbe temper of the judiciary oommittee, wbieb will submit tbe measure to the house. Beyond doubt there will be several resolutions of inquiry during the first week, wbich may be more or less sensational and some of tho radical pro Coba members will attempt to get consideration for a Cobao resolution before the foreign af? fairs oommittee cao aot. Congressman Livingston of Georgia is one of these Bot o wi og to tbe nature of the boose rules, all these hasty efforts will take their regular course There will be nothing except indispo? sition apon tbe part of members to pre? vent the senate's entering promptly upon its work upon convening tomor? row, as there is a calendar ready made for it containing about 500 bills reported from committees duricg the special ses? sion. If aoy ci rsum s ti a ces should prevent the receipt of the Preeideot's message oo Mond?y the probabilities are that the senate will adjoorn over without taking up any other business until the message oould be received With the message read, it will remain for the senate to decide whether it shall enter seriously upoo the work of the session after Monday or begio a system of delay intended to throw all important questions over be? yond the Christmas holidays. The iodioatioos are now for a little more activity tban usual during the pro holiday session This is largely due io the fact that the supporters of tbe ad? ministration and the advocates of annexation are very anxious to s; cure the earliest possible consideration of (be treaty with Hawaii. Senator Davis, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, announces his purpose nfl pressing annexation at th3 earliest pos? sible moment, but it is probable tbe j matter will not be taken up seriously J until tbe committee can bave a meeting and deoide upon detail? of procedure. The committee will be called together j on Wednesday for this purpose 0>-e point which the committee will be call ed upoo to decide in whether to proce d to ratify the treaty annexation or to an oex the islands by resolution. Annex atiooistH have lost some votes during the vacation, and there is now appre bennion that the two thirds v >te neces? sary i o assure the rati6cau<n cannot be secured No sati?ifiOtory o-inv.^s if possible until all the t^nators arriv-'. and if it is then made manifeste that tbe necessary two-thirds vote oanoot b3 secured it ts likely the proceeding, by means of resolution, which would re? quire only a majority vote, will be ioaogorated Some members of the foreigo relations committee who favor annexation advocate this course, because they say they see no reason for travers? ing the ?ame ground twioe, as they woold be compelled, todo incase the mattet shoold be first considered in executive session, fail there and then be takeo up in the form of a resoldtiou io open seoate and house. The immigration bill, for which Senator Lodge stands sponsor, is practically at the head of the senate legislative calendar and will be con? sidered early in the session. Senator Lodge to-dsy repeated bis iotention of pressing the bili, but be will not anta* gooize the Hawaiian treaty with it. Tbe first bill on the calendar is Sena? tor Gear's measure providiog for the adjustment of the Pacific railroad debt, but thaeale of the Union Pacifio doubt? less will have the effect of causing the temporary withdrawal of this bill and the substitution of others. Of tbe 300 bills on the calendar, about 200 are private pension bills and all of these probably will be disposed of at one sit? ting when taken up There are also several hundreds recess appointments to be considered in executive session. It is not probable that much will be done in tbe way of legislation during the present week. There will be an adjournment for the day after receiving the message on Monday and as there is no .disposition to press the Hawaiian matter until the foreign relations com? mittee agrees upon a line of action, the indications now are that it will not be takeo up in the seoate before next week. Tbe Regular Session Begins Witbont Notable Incidents. Washington. Dec 6.-The open ?ng day of the regular session I'D tbe house passed without an unusual incl dent of any kind. The formalities attending the inauguration of the session were dry, and except as a spectacle hardly repaid the crowds which thronged the public and private gallaries. Mr. Dingley, the floor leader of tbe majority ; Mr Bailey, the recognized leader of the minor? ity, and Mr Grosvenor, of Ohio, en? joyed the distinguished honor of be? ing appointed to wait upon the Presi? dent, whose message was, of course, the event of the day Its reading was long and tedious, bat it was fol lowed by close attention by the mern ber? and the SDectators. a There was no demonstration until the reading was concluded, when the Republicans joined in a hearty expr?s sion of approval. Immediately after the reading of the message the house adjourned out of respect to the mern or?es of Senator George of Missis? sippi, and Representative Wright, of Massachusetts, who had died during the session. IQ tbe Senate. Washington, Deo. 6 -Tbe attend? ance upon the session of the senate *o dav, both upoo the floor and in tbe gal? leries, was notably large, despite the well understood fact that little business beyond the presentation of the Presi deht'a message and t*r>e proceedings in? cident thereto would he transacted. Prior to th? convening, the members passed no . hour in exchanging greet? ings Mr Hanna of Ohio, who bas been ill for a week, was given a cordial reception by bis Republican colleagues. Mr. Wolcott of Colorado was also given a warm greeting. Charles Page Bryao, the new United States minister to China, was a notable figure io the reserved gallery, and in the diplomatic gallery were several members of the Chinese legation and other members of the diplomatic corps When the s-nate convened after the reoess. Hon H D S Money, the new senator from Mis? sissippi, entered the chamber, but the oath of office was not administered to bim during the session. The recep? tion and reading of ?be President's message was the important and only feature of the day New York, December 5.-The Prince Line steamer Trojan Prince, which arrived from Leghorn, Genoa and Naples, brought from the latter port 1,008 streerage passengers, the I greater portion of them being women and children This is the largest ?umber of Itfc?ian immigrante brought by any one steamer to this port in many years. The State of health on board was excellent Canton, Ohio, December 5.-At 9 45 P M Dr Phillips left Mr? Mc? Kinley. He said she was growing weaker rapidly now and he scarcely thought she could survive the night. She is in no pain or distress, simply quietly passing away A special from Raleigh says : Albert Johhson, the oldest locomotive engineer in the United States, died to day, aged 88. He was a native of Petersbnig, Va . and began running an engine in 1836. Detriot, Mich. Dec 4-Two eu burban cats carrying some 20 pan sengers, and both running at a ?peed of 1?5 miles an boor, collided on the Detroit arul Oakland Electric railroad ?t 1 o'clock this afternoon. 1 he re suit was that three men were instantly killed and a score of persons injured, j 10 of them serious. WON'T ACT IN TIME. U. S. Supreme Court to Hear Cases on March 7. Colombia Deb 6 -The mem bera of the general assembly and Governor Eilerbe will hardly relish the news that there is absolutely no chance of obtain? ing a decision frome-the Tfoited States sopreme court on the main issue, Yan dercook cases, io time to serve for the matter of liquor legislation at the com ing session. Bot that is the situation and the goveoorr will have to deal with the liquor prob? lem io the light of present conditions. Then the legislature will have to wres? tle with the problem aod act as it deems best. Up to? this time every? thing has been in a very unsettled con? dition, the hope being constantly ex? pressed that the O P. issue would be Goally determined one way or tbe other before the general assembly adjooroed Already the possibilities are beiog freely discussed. One member of tbe general assembly last evening said it looked to bim tbat, if the prohibition bill wa3 net passed, the dispensary law would be left untouched, the 0. P. stores would be licensed aod then when the deoissioo was Goally filed a* extra session would have to be held io the I early sommer, io the event that Judge j Simonton is sustained.
