Just one yeanlgo a 'clotid hurtt fi ll upon the beautiful county of Spartan burg in South Caroliua, and the angel of death rode on the turMulcnt waters ol the l'acolet and I.awson's Fork Dor rested until millions of dollars worth of property had been swept into the ob livion of deetruelion and half a hundred Uvea had been lost in what must 0 dowu in history as the Johnstown Hood of the south. . June 6, a year ago, fell upon a Sat urday, and on this fateful day the pouring rains that had raised the waters ol southern streams above their banks ended with a cloudburst in Spartanburg county and the peaceful Paeolet, the three Tigers and Lav. son's Fork became ihe terrible monsters of an angry na ture that swept valuable property and human life before them without a word of warning. On the banks of the I'ifcolct, the beautiful Clifton mills Nos. 1, 2 and 3, were either swept out of existence or damaged to the extent of hundreds of dollars. Other mills in the same vicinity suffered the same fate. So terrible was the rising of the rivers that some looked and saw what seemed to be a solid wall of water many feet high rushing down upon them and were sucked in by the terrible eddies before they could rush to the foot hills which rose above the banks. Bleeping families were awakened to find their homes, rushing down the stream at a rate that soon separated the boards of the wooden structures and left helpless victims to perish within the very sight of fathers and mothers. Some f these mothers were later res cued by men dragging them from points of vantage in overhanging branches and several were bereft of reason by the terrible eights th(y had seen and the( exposure from cold and many bruises. But perhaps it was in the utter de struction of the great brick mills that the force of the awful Hood was the llustrated. In one instance one of the largest mills was completely swept out of existence and the original course of the river so changed by the breaking of a dam that the bed of the new stream passed directly over the foundations of what was once a mill of many thou sands of looms and spindles. Homes of the operatives were swept so completely out of existence that their original sites could not be deter mined until days later Burveyers ran their lines to find what was actually lost real estate. Some of the incidents of that awful morning can never be exaggerated or even approached in the matter of description. Second only in joint suffering to the actual duration of the Hood were the next days and night that followed, in Spartanburg county, as well as in many other mill counties the homes of the operatives are built in long rows on the sloping Bides and crests of rising hills ixactly alike in point of building, paint, etc., these clusters of bouses give much the appearance of a mammoth deck of cards with the backs up scattered across the country. . The first few (hays and nights the scenes along the narrow streets were heartrending. The bodies identified at the temporary morgue were brought to sorrowing homes for burial. Others there were whoe loved ones were nown to have perished and the bodies were absolutely deatrojed. In such homes cotfseles8 funerals marked the sad rites of a time wben the shadows that rested over Spartanburg county ere the deepest in all the southland. But even etill mor touching were the homes of those who waited in an agony of ufpenee to hear the familiar footsteps of those not known to be dead but simply counted among the missing. n Buch homea where hope played at cross purposes with despair, the anguish was of the kind that makes young mothers old years and years before their time : nd loving fathers Jhere were ho sat on the tiny porches in silence staring with sleepless eyes at every ap proacing stranger. Mothers there were whose babes had been trn from their very breasts. This was not a poetical figure of speech, but a sad reality. With the raging rivers, the ataff cor respondents of large newspapers found the road to Spartanburg a difficult one. Railroad bridge had been destroyed, county biidgea had been swept away and for the newspaper men it meant using nana cars, horses, wrecking trains and walking all night to reach the icene of this disaster and tell the sad details to the waiting world outside. For The Constitution and raaay other newspapers this was made pos sible by the energy and pluck of four Postal telegraph men, who to repair ... brokeu connections aofeially bwi rivers at the risk of their lives. But sad and terrible as was ye awful Hood nt Spartanburg, there wag tun bhine in Up generous and immediate aid that came pouriajg in from every part of the country that knew neither geographic or political sections. And as for theSpartans of Spartan burg, they proved themselves wil worthy to be called the namesakes of the bravest heroes of the classics, for in8tnily they turned their hearts and hands to the rebuilding of the devas tated places in a way that proved the highest qualities of American pluck and courage and at the same time a practical and everlasting monument to the energy and enterprise of the new south. The Farmer. Charlotte Chronicle. These are the days of the farmer The manufacturer and the merchant are not in it with the farmer for pros perity. Kggs twenty and twenty-live cents a dozen. Spring chickens twenty five to thirty-five cents each and scarce at the price. Oniona at a premium Butter and milk high priced and scarce. Everything that grows on a farm 18 scarce and high priced. Surely the farmer should be enjoying bis day of dominant prosperity. It's all right. We are glad the farm er is having a day of prosperity. He traveled in the valley a long time and he is fully entitled to his day of sun shine. The important thing is that he appreciate the situation and make the most of his inning while he's in. He should treat the soil well and make it smile while the price of cotton is yet high, and ho need not apprehend it will go much below what it now is. He should sing the song : "If I had a cm that gave such 10 1 Ik, I'd dress her in the finest silk, I'd feed hor on the best of hay And milk her 4(1 times a day." e Treat the mild-eyed Jersey right. She's a money-maker these days of high-priced and small spring chickens and eggs, very few of which are the black hens; of butter, milk, onions and high-priced everything that grows on a fa rm. . Touch your hat when you meet a farmer. Cotton is king and the farmer is prime minister in thcsepiping times of peace and prosperity for the fanner, but alas! not altogether so for the man ufacturer and the merchant. But when the farmer prospers all the rest, including the poor newspaperman may hope. When the farmer prospers the rest of us will sure prosper in time. If we must work and wait, the prosper ity of the farmer is a pure Bign that in time the rest of us may know prosperity also in some degree, perhaps not as much as the farmer now enjoys, but to some extent. We rejoice that things are going the farmer's way. It him prosper. W like it, and we are willing to wait our turn. WHITHER AUK WK DltlFTIMW. Maug-fiter by Infernal machine, Cripple Creek, Col., Dispatch, 61 li. Tvelve men were killed and several severely wounded today by the ex plosion of an infernal machine at a railroad station in Independence Eleven were killed outright, being blown to pieces, and one died later from bis wounds. Alltlie killed and wounded, with the' exception of two men from the Deadwood mine, were non-union miners employed on the night shift of the Findlay. The in fernal machine with which the murder was committed consisted of a quantity of dynamite, probably 300 pounds; loaded revolver, and a long, fine steel wire attached to the trigger. The re volver was fastened so that the pulling of the trigger would not draw it away The wire ran from under the station platform to the cribbing of the Pel monico property, about 400 feet away, where its end was fastened to the rung of a chair. The dynamite was placed close to the muzzle of the revolver, which was discharged by pulling the wire. The ball from the revovler, and (ue resultant concussion, exploded the dynamite. Several of the bodies dropied in the pit made by the explosion, but heads, hands, ears, legs, and trunks were strewn about on all sides. Pieces of fltsh were found on buildings 500 feet away, while splaslifll of blood were found on everything within radius of fifty feet. A minister bad recently been preach ing in behalf of the Bible Society in a city church. As he walked down from the pulpit an old woman came up and congratulated him upon the excellence of his sermon. As she was moving away a "pillar of the church" ap proached, and, supposing that some uuwelcome ciiticisra had been made by the old lady, said quickly, "Oh, don't mind her, she's feebleminded!" Under the above caption the Wil mington Messenger contains a long editorial embodying some thoughts it is well to remember. We make the following extract: Whither are we drifting we the Democratic party of North Carolina? Itcannot be denied that a serious con dition of affairs cxisU in our State. We have nearly reached the crii-te, and what the result will be no one ran tell. There have been for someftime ef forts on the part of certain newspapers to stir up stri to array one class of our people against another. Kvery thfiig that "lias been done by (he one side which did not suit the editors of these papers and their backers has been denounced as conspiracy against the slate. No one dared criticise even in the mildest manner any action of the state administration or of one of its officials unless he was willing to be de nounced as a traitor and a conspirator. There seemed to be a persistent effort on the psrt of these men to misrepre' sent the motives of all who did not agree with them, and to incite the people of the State agaiuBt them. This denunciation of certain men and of their actions has been going on for sev eral months. Scurrilous editorials cal culated to stir up bad blood and strife have appeared from day to day. It seemed to be the object of these editor ials to bring on a clash. The immediate cause of all this was the bringing of a suit for the appoint ment of a receiver for the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad. The remote cause and the origin was the disfran chisement of the negro in this State. Many will think this latter statement very nonsensical. But look back to conditions which existed before the adoption of that amendment, to the cam paign of 000 and to events occurring and conditions existing since then. Before the adoption of the amend ment the white people of North Caro lina were almost solidly Democratic. White supremacy was the dominant issue. It kept the ranks of Democracy as solid as a Urecian phalanx. All minor issues were laid aside. All fac tional differences were buried. Jhe white people knew that for their protec tion tliey must stand together. They obeyed their parly leaders without questioning. They accepted the ni chine's proposition and elected its can didates without a murmur. Then came the projiosition to amend the State constitution, bo as to disfran chise the negro. The white peop! were told by the advocates of th measure that it would relieve them from the bondage of blind obedience to tho mandates of party rulers. The were told that when this amend men was adopted they would be free to think and act for themselves. Th amendment waj adopted. Some Dem ocrats refused to vote for it. Many voted for it just becauso it was a party measure, though not approving it. But these classes were afraid of its effect on the party. They saw that, with the different views as to what the Demo cratic party should advocate which ex isted among 'the people of our Btate there was danger to the party in the elimination of the negro as a political factor; in other words, they knew the strongest tie which bound the white people together was the solid negro vote on the other side. The amendment was adopted, and the white jieople of the Slate began to exercise that right and privilege which the advocates of the measure promised them from the stump. They began to think and to act for themselves. They began to throw off the yoke of party rising, and to resist the tyrannical dictation of self-appointed party lead ers. This created a protest from the headquarters of the old party masters, But the march of independence has not been arrested, and the protesting has not ceased, but increases. Tbe Messenger then goes on to speak at leugth uixtn the contempt case OTIIKIt CABINS YUAN l.lf90 t.N'. The fwnHdlnff Dennett Acquired a Jen Uavls Cabin Which Na One Would Buy. New York Sun. When Sandford Swain, the manager of Dennett's lunch rooms, read in yes terday's Sun about the Lincoln cabin now stored at College Point, he was re minded of a "Jefferson Davis cabin," that he has had on his hands for several years. Both of these cabins were own ed by A. W. Dennett until just before his financial reverses in 1808. The I.incoln.cahin then passed into the hands of David Crear, a New York builder, and the "Jefferson Davis cabin into the hands of his stepson, Mr. Swain. "I have very good reasons for re membering that Jeff Davis cabin," said Mr. Swain yesterday. "Mr. Den nett bought the "Lincoln cabin about ten years ago, through a minister, the Rev. J. W, Bingham of Hodgenville, Howling Green and other places in Ken tucky. Encouraged, possibly, by Mr. Dennett's enthusiasm in historic birth places it' wasn't long before the Hev. Mr. Bingham came to him again this time with a Jeff Davis cabin. Mr, Dennett jumped at the opportunity. "Along about tho time of Mr. Den nett's financial reverses, when I took charge of thia business, I also came into possession of this' Jeff Davis cabin. I wrote at once to the Rev. Mr. Bing ham, asking him for proofs of its au thenticity. He replied that bo would gladly furnish such proofs for the trilling sum of $100. It seemed to me that as he had negotiated the sale he should furnish, the proofs ree, and sol kept my $100 and he kept whatever proofs he had. ; "After exhibiting my cabin at a fair, iu Memphis I think it was, I offered it against Editor Daniels of the News and Observer and says the condition of things just enumerated brings events up to the issuance of the rule by Judge Pufcell. It then says: All this horrible state of affairs grows out of the determination of a few self- appointed leaders of the good old Dem ocratic p?rty to rule or ruin it, and they arc fast doing the latter. If the party is defeated, it will be due to thatp "holier than thou" Democrats, who denounce all others in the party, many of them lietter Democrats than they who oppose their schemes. The Messenger has done well to point out dangerous tendencies, but "if the party is defeated" is an observation remote. The party will not he defeated. The sober, good sense of the people will swing clear of the demagogue and the nile or ruin fcllowB. We, as a people, have drifted, but we are not out of sight of land and the tide is already turning back. Jl DI.K I' A It Kill's I'ltlKMIN IIIOIM II. Ilulthajire. Sim. Some of the big politicians in the Democratic party, as reported in The Sun's dispatches, have been holding conferences in New York in the last day or two and discussing the availability of candidates for the Presidenti:.l nomi nation. Tlie Democratic National Con vention will meet in St. Louis on July 0 one month from today. It is as sumed by some of our New York con temporaries that the Democratic poli ticians, who have been talking over the situation with the Tammany leader, Charles F. Murphy, are not friendly to Judge A. B. Parker. The assumption may or may not bo warranted by the facts. If Judge Parker is really the choice of the majority of the Democrats in the United States, the will of the majority will prevail at St. Louis and the Judge will be nominated. At present there is no candidate for the honor who has a sufficient number of Instructed delegates to make his nomination a cer tainty. There will be Wi delegates in the St. Louis convention, and if the two-thirds rule is not repealed the suc cessful candidate for the nomination, if all the delegates are present and vote, must receive 063 votes. It may be that Judge Parker will de velop sullieient strength before the con vention assembles to make his nomina tion a foregone conclusion. At Jiiis time, however, the question of the se lection of the party's standard-bearer is still an open one. The situation has been described tersely as "the field against Judge Parker." So far as indi vidual candidates are concerned the New York Jurist is in the lead at present, but if "the Held" should ombine on another candidate Judge Parker's friends in tho convention would be in a ma a nrflionl tn lha I laoarh lara of Ilia I . , . 6... .. ...v hopeless minority should the opposition Confederacy in Richmond.

He was born in Kastport in 1S23, and when a young man learned the carpenter's trade. While teaching Sunday School in Whiting he observed among his pupils agirl whowasalllicted with cancer and whom none of the doctors could help. The text for that day was: "They shall take up serpents and if tl-.ey drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them. They shall lay handa ou the sick, aud they shall recover.' Dr. Estey had faith and ho tried the laying ou of hands, with the result, as it has always been declared in the neighborhood, that the girl was com pletely cured. Other cures followed. and this encouraged the doctor to make a tour of New F.ngland, New York and New Jersey. His fame spread. He never would accept money for his services, and al ways paid even his railroad fares. It is said that he returned many thousands of dollars that had been sent to him in letters, and that he might have been rich had he accepted the half of what was offered to him. He made a tour of Europe in 1872 and was presented to Quern Victoria. A few years ago Dr. Etsey caused a sensation iu Maine by publishing in all the newspapers this challenge: "I will give $100 to any minister of gospel who will dine with me and drink 'any deadly things,' as spoken of in St. Mark xvi, IS. 1 took poison in Troy 'and am ready to do so again in 'the presence of any minister of the gospel on earth." Needless to say, the challenge was not accepted. The doctor was high iu Ma sonry, aud c&uld quote the Bible by whole chapters. He based his claim that he would never die upon this pas sage fiom the Scriptures: "He that believrth in Me will never die." The doctor's health was good up to the last week of his life.
