I sfopptd in at headquarters for a talk last week, and Por?ev Webb had the flcor. Subject, "Water Witches." Dorsey said he believed a man horn on the proper time of the nioou could take a forked stick off a green tree and locate a lasting spout' of water, it mattered not how many feet under the . ground; that his father wished to dig a well; sent for a water witch, who with his green twig located the place. Mr. Webb, having some doubts, drove the stake down below the surface, covered up every indication and sent for another water witch. The last one took his forked stick and, lo, it dipped over the identical spot ' where the stake was driven. If there is any prevari cation, it vas not Billy Webb. John Little took the floor. Said in bis store one day this subject was being discussed and Preacher' Webb, a Methodist minister on the Wades boro circuit, a man who stood high for eloquence and learning, spoke up and said there was no doubt .about jtj he was one himself. "Xow," said the preacher, "III go out; yon take 12 little boxes they must be empty. - place them on the floor; undejj one place a silver half dollar; I'll take a little green forked stick and tell un der which box the half dollar is placed." They took him up, ar ranged the boxes and hollered for him to come in. When lie came to the box under which the silver was placed the stick dipped down. Thinking it an accident, they had him to retire, re-arranged the boxes, but the second time he stopped at the silver. When I was a tot, attending Pop lar Hill Academy, Mr. Beeson, who was a graduate, an.1 the school trus tees, wanted to dig a well, so they sent for Cornelius Gaddy, who' was a "water witch," and he came march ing about the academy with his forked slick, watched by some hun dred "students. For weeks after ward at play-time a hundred forked sticks were carried up and down Gordon's mountain and en every road leading to the academy. That's how I learned I was one. I see the United States govern ment is going to send man with a divining rod out to the Klondyke to locate' the gold. ' How I wish they'd send me, 1 reckon if they knew I Was ; a "water witch" thev would. Anything is better than 5 cent cot ton. Yoji may all smile, but our preacher said last Sunday 'night that there were many people who thought God made everything at the begin ning, put it to ruuning and it kept on the same way th? same causes producing- the same effect, but he believed that Daniel 'was let down in the lions' den and the lions didn't eat him;- he believed that Elijah called fire from heaven to consume the sacrifice; he believed God re leased Peter from the inner prison. Mr Mac r heebie, a lawyer, in one of Scott's works, Waverly, I believe, says, "right : sure am I that no divine can doubt there are witches, since the Bible says 'thou sha'.t not suffer thm ,to li v e,' and no lawyer in Scotland can doubt it, since it is punishable with death by our law. So if you winna believe the Leoiticus, ye might believe the statute book.'" It seems that all the Whigs and Presbyterian ministers had once met to try old Janet Gelatiey, who was not only old but awful ugly, iu the Parish ; church, for witchcraft. While the witch w.i's confessing that the evil one appeared to her as a handsome black man, and the clerk was recording with a trembling hand and the divines were groaning, old Janet suddenly jumped to her feet and yelled out: "Look to your sel ves I lok ; to , you rsel ves ! I see the evil one sitting and grinuinsr in the midst of ye." Happy were those who sat near the door. Hats, bon nets and wigs went flying in every direction; seats and benches were overthrown and poor old Janet went scott-free. Steve Threadgill next had the floor. Yon all know Stew. Solid as a rock, yon would as soon expect the ; eternal hills to waver as Steve. He said he went to a lecture one night and the lecturer said two men might go anywhere iu town and hide any article and he could find it. Steve said he and a friend went way below Burns' hotel, oa the road to Col.' Bennett's,'. raised a brick and placed his pocket knife under the brick. On his return to the hall the lecturer took him by one baud, bis friend by the: other, walked through the dark from the old brick store to the place and told them the knife was under that brick. This was a little strange, but you see there are many things not accounted for in our philosophy. Steve aver red he tried to put him off the track, but he went straight on to the place of hiding. Witches in the way back attract ed attention by their feats. Xow a witch can do what, he pleases, and it doesen't seem much out of the common run. Ybu all know Edi son is a wizzard. One would not be surprised to see him driving two or four electric horses, harnessed to a lightning buggy, coming through the air some dark night, ringing sil ver bells.. My old nurse use to tell me that witches rode people. One night a witch mounted a bov. hav ing changed, him to a yearling. When she came to Pee Dee river the yearling rose to leap over the river and as they were way up. in the air the jump was. so splendid the witch said "My God, what a jump' for a little white yearling." Nurse said if a witch used God's name while out on a tare the spell was broken, so down she and the boy fell in the river and were drowned. So every Christmas eve the winches meet at Grassy Island to revel and mourn over the event. CUBA. The way that Congress is cavort ing, howling, yelling, shaking fists and talking about war with Spain. Old Janet ought to appear in the halls and say, "I see the evil one in the midst of ye." To hear some of the gentlemen talk, fighting is as nice, pleasant, safe occnpa!ion,and I'll not my old hat these very same chaps, who cut up so, wouldn't go near the fight. Some of our folks are just "spiling" for a fight. What is Cuba to us? It would cost less to buy the island than to fight for it. However, it makes - no .difference. I wouldn't b-: at all surprised if guns were boomiug before cotton planting time, and I would like to hear a real, genuine cannonade, like Gettysburg, once more before I die. Nothing short of a big war will stop cotton planting. So it is all right. Wagons ; are hauling guano. Cousin Edmund told me he wanted to buy a mule. Liggett says he is going to plant heavy, while a great many good farmers have sowed down much of. their cottou land in small grain -Tom Hyatt says he and iill his neighbors have sowed down 20 per cent, of their cotton land -1 believe fully 15 per cent, of the cot ton land of the county is now iu wheat and oats, and it looks exceed ingly well. This is not a matter of choice. The best thing we can do now is to tight for Cuba, or a slice of China, or -Honolulu, or Klon dyke anywhere.

In any act and vote with the gold bug, party or the repubbeau party, why call 3'oursel ves democrats or pop ulists? Why sail under f.tlse colors! Honesty is Always the best policy. There is no room in this State or tia tioa but for two parties. All other organizations politically are aiders aud abettors to either the gold bug repub lican party or the silver democratic pitty or they are s:rap!y swill drink ers and pie hunters. No, Mr. Editor, the silver caze is not dead nor is Vr. Bijan dead. They are both stronger by twenty per cent, today than they were on the day McKitiiey was elected, aud wi 1 bo teu per cent stronger ono year from now. Now, in eouclusiou I want to say that any man. gold-bug, populist, or republican who goes into a democratic convention and abides the decisiju of that cohyentioa aud supports its nomination is a good enough democrat for me. SVertught not to expect all men to agree with each other. All any political party eve' required ot its mAubers or its friends was to suppoit "its nominees fairly made in open convention. All that is required of any citizen, s to oe reasonrue, nouest, consistent:, just and patriotic, and seek all the in- ' formation and light on every available j t-ubji'ct, and thtu follow the dictates of an enlightened conscience and matured judgment. To be thus governed and controlled the silver men iu the democratic, re publican and populist parties, will carry this State in defiance of all op position font office-seekers, corrup tion and goldbuism and plutocracy.

At the close of his speech on the Teller resolution, Senator ' Daniel burst into this, one might say, vis ion of Democracy. It glows with the heart of a patriot and is strong even to the end with the truth vig orously conceived and delivered unto a good time. Said the speaker: "Mr. President, I shall not pro long this debate. In every Kepublie there must of necessity be a party of the people. In this country the Democracy is that party. It has male m iny mistakes. It has suf fered for them aud it has corrected them. It has done many great and wise and noble deeds which more than compensate for all its errors and leave a mighty balance of achieement and of hopeful promise to its credit. "It has been often defeated, but it has never failed to come to time fresh and vigorous on the renewal of conflict; and now, approaching the centennial of its birth, it stands be fore the country and the world as the greatest historical organization for the defense of popular rights and popular interests and for the defense of the Constitution and the liws that time has ever known. Some of its old leaders have deserted it; but better leaders have sprung into their vacated places. "'Some have abandoned its princi ples a well m its organization, and peevish tones pipe the iniilne cries of anarchy that amuse the ears which are uuaunexed to minds capable of digesting argument. But fresh re cruits from, other organization have more tirin supplied their absence; and thev are recruits v. h have clearer conviction of policies and principles and are more tenacious of conviction. Some, not many I hope, have yielded to vulgar bribes. Let those puss; we cannot outbid their buyers. "Some have bent to hard neces sity: wife and child, "bread and cheese, and kisses" have bowed them to the orders of taskmasters, who ex acted their manhood as the price of wages that keep the wolf from the door. For them, alas! Inferno yaw ns for the criminals w.ho have robbed them of their liberty, but the recording angel still holds out the beckoning hand to the unwilling sinner and washes away th stain with tears. Some have yielded not to plain bargain and corruption nor to duress, but to the atmospheric pressure of patronage and wealth ami social blandishment. Some, otherwise shong and great, have yielded in mere lassitude of moral energy, even as Merlin, the sage, to the wily Yivan. "Meanwhile, however, events argue for our cause more significantly and more eloquently than language. The party of Jefferson and of Jackson, the jvarty that di fends the Contitu tionand the laws, increases its num bers, its columns close up and press Oil', bearing that standard of the stars to which it has contributed so many years and to every star some splendid beam. "Meanwhile, Mr. President, ISOfi. with its repudiated platform, s broken pledges, its vanished hopes, recedes from view into the niits of the past. . Meanwhile, too, 1900 comes on apace "Slowly comes a hungry people Like a lion drawing nigher, One who slowly nods and winks Behind a slowly dying fire.'"'

The pension expenditures for the fis cal Jf ar 1S09, thirty-four years after the close of the war will reach $150 r 000,000. What does it mean? It means the interest fit '2 per cent. ; on a debt of $.",000 C00,0d0, which is ' more than any other national debt in i the world except that of France. It is more than the combined expen d it u res for all purposes of the States in.the Union. That is to s-iv, if the money spent for pensions were divided among the states, all taxation for state purposes could be dispensed with. It is more thin eight times the com bined revenues of all the universities and colleges of the United States, and almost as much as the cost of all the public schools. It is more than what we are accus totned to call the "crushing burden" of any army in Europe. It is enough for fortifying our coast impregnably in eight months and for building the finest navy in the world in two years. If we spent for pensions twice as much erery year as Garfield said, over twenty years ago would be the highest amount ever required, the difference between that and what we are paying now would clear off our entire national bonded debt in ten years. After that it would more than pay the interest on the bonds required to give the govern ment control of all the railroads in the United States Our pension outlay for six mouths would build the Nicaragnan Canal, and in another six months it would dupli cate the Western Union Ttleerah sys tem for the benefit of tbe public If the pension roll had been confined to double the Garfield standard we should never ha ve had a d fiVit in a single year, and instead of inning new bonds to make both ends tno't, we should Lave exhibited to the world Ion? be-fore t ow the remarkable spec tacle of a governmeet out of debt, and reducing taxrs to cut down surplu revenues.

An oCicial roller pin test conducted under the direction of the clLce of Slier investigation of the Department of Agiiculfure at Cuero, Texas, upon Texas grown Egyptian cotton, has just been concluded wi"u most suc cessful and gratifying results. For several years cultural experiments; have been earned on in Texas by Mr W H. Wentworth, from the Egyptian, seed distributed by the DeparlmenC with a yiw to tbe production in thisi country of the Egytian cotton. A se rious obstacJe to success has been the need of a proper gin to separate the seed from the lint, the ordinary gin injuring tbe cotton to a ruinious de gree, but this his been overcome by a special form of gin. The engineer expert of the Agri- . cultural Department states that tbn cotton produced from the Egyptian seed planted in Texas is stronger than the native EgypttaL, as is indicated by the yield per hour in ginning. Tbil was 70 pounds per hour in the firs1; .'.ay. and 70 0 10 per hour, the secon I day. Tiie manufacturers of the gbi used claim only 50 pounds" per day, at the output of the native Egyptian. The lint from this test will be examin ed and further repotted upon. The imports of Egyptian cotton ara steadily increasing and now amoun; in value to over $5,CC0,C00 annually. With the ginning rpiestion settled, those who are interested in the growt't of Egyptian cotton in Texas claim that production in this country is assured. iAhv. rb' "catan',i; tll:lt is N-M "vchronie intlamma- Hon of the mucous lining of whichever organ is affected.
