Negroes Are Inclined to Believe That They Have to Do the Flhtis TMs Time. War is a big thing an awful thing but our people do not seem to be very much concerned. They have more curiosity than apprehension, i he great excitement ia at Washington, and even there it is based not upon fear or blood or aufiering, but upon the $tr aggie between the two great political parties which one shall get ahead and what move ia the best one to get ahead and stay there. Whatever McKinley does or proposes to do the Democrats must fight it and vice versa. The success of the. party is a bigger thiDg than war. We have never seen Congress eo be wildered. Some are for intervention, some for recognition, some for annexa tion and all for revenge. Wall street sees nothing but the money that is in it. Some preachers are for peace at any price and some are howling for war. Of course the army and navy want a right, for that is their profes Eional business, and gives a chance for promotion. Then there are the editors and publishers who must appear to be at fever heat whether they feel so or not, for it is a harvest time for news and the people want the news and will buy the papers. The farmers, too, are affected and are studying what to plaut for profit, and the speculators in grain and meat are bulling and bearing, according to their faith. , Kut the great masses of the Ameri can people, the toilers and consumers, who have nothing to gain and nothing to lose by a war, ' are lookers-on with unconcern. They have no ax to grind,, nor even a hatchet, but still have a feeble hope of more work and better wages. Down here at the South there is no great interest except in the cities, for our people never get p.ny contracts or government jobs, and don't expect any gain from a war with Spain. If we get a custom house here and . there the material must come from over the line, "notwithstanding the marble and the grauite are at our doors. Northern contractors clean out. our rivers and our harbors and all the profit goes away from homo. Our mischievous people tell the ne groes they have got to go and do all the fighting, for it is McKinley's war and they all voted for him. The boys read to them paragraphs from the Northern papers which say that Northern soldiers would die of fever in Cuba in a week, and that only Southern negroe3 can stand the climate. Lots of them around here are .fixing to hide out and have done picked out their cauebrake. Clar ence, the drayman, is a leader, a heeler in elections, and he sa3's: 'T never vote for any war. I ain't gwine to fight. I ain't done nothin' to nobody and nobody ain't done nothin' to me. I ain'fmad wid nobody and how can a man fight widout he's mad. ATr. Aker man and Mr. Crawford got me into di3 scrape and dey must git me out. . 1 wonder if dey is gwine to de war?" - Last Sunday I saw a gansr of negroe3 standing around a preacher and. he wa3 reading the big headlines of the Con stitution to them. There is a large pic torial recruiting poster in the postoffice and they stand off and look at it with serious alarm. But they are not going from these parts, neither are the white people going right now.. Old man In gram vas a good fighter in the last war and seemed to like the business and he nays he wouldn't mind going if they will let him fight under General Lee and wear gray clothes; My friend, Captain Dobbs, says he will go along with Dr. Calhoun and will skirmish around awhile and get sick and get the doctor to give him a discharge at the end of three months and then he will come home and draw a pension all he rest of his life. Well, if it has to be a war Mr. Mc Kinley had better turn it over to Gen eral Lee to fight it. Big things are piling in on us just now. The State canvass for State of ficials is now going on and getting red hot and it takes nearly all our time to keep up with that and the war too. Mavbe we will need .another war gov ernor and if we do Colonel Candler haa had more experience in that fine than some other folks. Colonel Benfro could take care of the negro convicts and march them to the front just like old Joe Brown did the 200 convicts in the penitentiary when Sherman came along. Governor Brown went down there with a wagon load of' gray clothes and made them take off their stripes and he gave them all cuns aid had them to elect their officers and then make them a speech and said: "Gentlemen, Fellow Citizens, Sol diers: It doesn't follow that because you are convicts you are not patriots. Now is the great opportunity of your lives to redeem yourselves and wipe off the disgrace from yourselves and your kindred. The enemy is at your doors' and you must fight him yes ! "Fight till the last armed foe expires Fight for your altars and your fires, God and your native land. " And they hailed their freedom with a shout and they marched forth like new men, and they did fight. Just so, Col. Renfroe could march the 2,000 negro convicts forth and under his lead thev, too will fight. ; Then here is the cold wintry blast that has come over oar country and killed our fruit and vegetables and par alyzed our hopes. Our most forward peaches are not killed, but our potatoes are utterly prostrated. They will come out again and I think will make us a good crop. Two years ago mine were killed down to the ground, but they came up again and I never had a better crop. This leads me to think that may be cut down early and then they would innko more fruit and less vines. My wife throw all sorts of old clothes over her Mareschal NeaW ose vine that was full of buds. My neighbors covered up their beans and beets, and some of them spread newspapers over their po tatoes and saved them. I was away down in Greensbnro the coldest night and it was not cold enough thereto kill anything. A few decrees of latti tude makes a great difference. Mr. Marbury, the weather man, foretold us of this coming freeze and I have great faith in him. When the weather bu reau was first established we thought it was a humbug, but long observation- has convinced the world that the winds and the waves and the weather are hot the mystery they used to be. Science has revealed their courses and their changes and the telegraph tells it truly many hours beforehand. The scripture fays, "The wind bloweth where it listeth and ye hear the sound thereof, but ye cannot "tell whence it cometh nor whither it goeth." , , ... But we can tell now and can lortiiy against disasters on land and perils on the deep. Verily, there is something new under the sun. - j I was ruminating about the classic tawn of Greensboro, one of the oldest totvn3 in the State. What a beautiful country surrounds it! What pretty roads and etreets. What attractive home3 end pretty mansions.: What wealth of lovelv flowers. I saw wis terias there growing wild and bowering upon old dead trees. Many of these statelv ante-bellum mansions still have the tall fluted columns and the parapet roofs that were bo common in the olden time. I saw the old Cone mansion and the house where William C. Dawson lived. I went to college with the Daw eon boys, but they are dead and left no sign, "i heard their father make a speech in 1S4.5. He was the first Whig who ever represented that district in Congress, He was United Slates Sen ator in 1847. He wa3 universally popu larkind, courteous and gentle, he worked his own way from humble lifo Up to mr.ny eminent positions and never lost a friend. Dawson county was named for him, but none was named for-Toombs or Stephens. .They were greater statesmen, but they made ene mies while Dawson, by his exceeding courtesy and gentle manners, made friends. Young men, if you aspire to political honors, you had better re member this. When Stephen Girard was asked the secret of his succes, he replied: "Civility." Bill Arp in At lanta (Ga.) Constitution. : JEFFERSON'S BIRTHDAY. A Democratic Celebration In Wash ington W. J. Uryan the Speaker. The one hundred and fifty-fifth an niversary of the birth of Thomas Jef feison was celebrated at Washington on the 13th by a dinner given at the National Bifies' armory, under the aus pices of the 'National Association of Democratic Clubs. About four hun dred representative Democrats from all sections were present, including many Senators and Representatives. The guest of honor was the Hon; W. J. Brvan, of Nebraska. Mr. Bryan respond edto the toast of "Thomas Jefferson," and was greeted with enthusiastic cheers, and throughouthis speech there were many demonstrations.! In the course of his .remarks ho spoke feeling ly of the Cuban situation, declaring that if the United States assumed 4he re sponsibility of deciding that the cruel ties and barbarities of the warfare on that island should cease no nation in Europe could protest without' defend ing the. things which we condemned. He said that any man had a right to prevent the erection of a slaughter house in his own yard, and that we, who live side by side with those who suffer, could not refuse, in the name of humanity, to insist that those who had manfully resisted the iyranny of Spain had earned their right to self-government. In addition to our rights to stop the war on humanitarian grounds he de clared that wo had a right to insist that- any government, at our doors should be of such a character that one of our ships would not be blown up while under its protection. He con gratulated the Democratic party also upon the fact that recent events had vindicated it from a charge persistently brought in the North that it was not a patriotic party. He paid a glowing tribute to Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, which set his hearers wild with enthusiasm, and in concluding declared that the enemies ofthe Democratic party could no longer revive the issues of the civil war, but must meet the Democracy upen the issues which arose in time of poace.'-. I'OWK.KS TO INTERVENE Ccclare l Untrue and Will Offer No Resistance as a Body. v Washington (Special). A sensation waa caused here by the report which comes from Rome, London and Madrid that the Powers will intervene to save Spain, but later reports from above points state that the alleged interven tion is untrue tfat the Powers had ex pressed any proposition of concert of action, and have decided for the mo ment to offer no further resistance as a body to keep down war between Spain and the United States. The war feeling in Madrid, Spain, is strong, and the Queen is reported a3 saying that she would rather have : war than to have the prestige of the army of TS pain tarnished.' The London Chronicle says: "Eng land i3 now onco more dragged at the heels of despots, and made to play the game of the latest of the rotten tyran nies that encumber the earth. It was easy to coerce Greece, but America stands in a different category. She is a very great power, intensely proud and entirely self-contained. Her fate has been to undertake a task peculiarly arduous and thankless. She is not go ing to be bullied by the heroes of the Cretan blockade, and if the movement agaist her is pressed too far, she will be compelled in her own interests to clear the situation. 'Our present purpose is to insist that our gbvernment does best by us ing every means in its power to defeat any anti-American combination. If there be any doubt about the feelings of :tho great majority of the nation, we shall be happy to try the experiment of marching a hundred thousand London ers through the metropolis with the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes injeombination. It is the business of the mother country to stand by their children of the West, as stiffly and Btrongly a3 one country can by another." THE ARMY MOVES. A Most "Warlike Step No Such Mobil ization Since the Civil War. Washington," (Special.) Decidedly the most warlike step taken by the War Department in preparing for the possi bility of an encounter with Spain, was inaugurated on the loth, when orders were issued for the concentration at four points in the South, of six regiments of cavalry, twenty-two regiments of in fantry and the light batteries of five regiments of artiiiery. At Chickamauga there will be six regiments of cavalry and the light batteries of five regiments of artillery; at New Orleans eight regi ments of infantry; at Tampa seven regi ments of infantry, and at Mobile seven regiments of infantry. Since the civil war no such proportion of the army has been mobilized, and the movement itself is the best evidence of the gravity of the situation as looked upon by the President and "his advisers. -Major-General Miles is in command of the army. Any one having an old calendar of tS7 may successfully utilize it for this year, as 1S18 is an exact icproduction, holidays and all. This will not again occur until 1913. OUR illllAI: STflTISHCS.

The total, number of cases tried for the year ending July 1, 1897, was, there fore, 8,812. For two years previous the total was 17,070, an average of 8,539, so there was some increase in crime. Of whites convicted, there were for the vear, 4,388; negroes, 4,398, Indians, 26. There were 8,099 mules and 713 females. The convictions in these cases, includ ing submissions, were 5,813; the acquit tal, 1,327; noil pross, 1,551; otherwise disposed of, 121. There were nolynchings durips: the twelve months.

XAii ' In telllnrf his storv, Mr. Vandyke aysi "PlvaV6ars aaro I "was afflicted With a trouble of the stomach, which was very aggravat ing. I had no appetite, could not enjoy myself at any time, and especially was the trouble severe when I awoke in the morn I did not know what the ailment vfas, but It be caraejsteadiiy worse and I was in constant misery.

WORLD'S LARGEST SHEEP FARM Australia Breeder Will Shear Over 1,230,000 Animals This Season. Samuel McCaughey, of Conong, R1 verina, N. A. W., is the largest sheep farmer in the world, both as regards numbers and, what is more Important, quality.' He is the most progressive sheep farmer of the age, and has brought his stock to great perfection. He shears 1,250,000 sheep this season, and would have had more, but lost 250,000 in the drouth two years ago, but thought nothing of it, as . every year he has between 300,000 and 400, 000 lambs. At Toorak and Duhlop, his stations on the Darling river, he shears C0O.OO0 sheep this year. He bought ;them from his uncle, Sir Samuel Wii 'son, and has developed them magnifi ;cently. There is literally "water, "water, everywhere," what, with dams, tanks and artesian wells; and all is fenced in and subdivided Into; pad docks. The area is about 1,500,000 acres In a ring fence. He has also a fliio property in Queensland, en which he shearing 400,000 sheep. His Coo-n-Viig station is only his stud farm. It (i only 41,000 acres in extent, and he bds upon it 15,000 sheep of very high quality, from which he sends annually large drafts to Improve the breed ou his other properties. Mr. McCaughey is able to boast, as one result of long-continued efforts, that he has increased the yield of each of his own sheep yearly to the extent of one pound of clean scoured wool. Now, even at the present low range of prices, a pound of clean scoured meri no combing is not worth less than IS pence, so that ,it follows that this en terprising man has Increased his wool returns by upward of 100,000 rr an num.
