NEWS AND HERALD. PBL1SHED 8EMI-WEE{L Y, -BY WINNSBORO PRINTING CO. J. FRANK FOOSHE, - - EDITOR. TERMS, O ADVANCE: One Year................ $1.50 Six Months. .................. 75 WINNSBORO, S. C. Friday. August 9. - - - 1901 Two back numbers-George Dewey and William Jennings Bryan. Tillman and no mudslinging are to be at Chester's political meeting to-morrow! It is now announced that Hon. W. H. Timmerman will be in the gubernatorial race next year. "16 to 1 or bust" is the "busted" platform the candidates to suc ceed Dr. Stokes are running on. A good roads society has been organized in Marlboro county. Fairfield county should follow suit. One court of inquiry is enough. Senator Chandler should not pre fer charges against "Robby" Evans. A physician's certificate will not aid you in buying from a dis pensary after the setting of the sun is the deci3ion of the court. With a one -fare rate for the round trip, there ought to be a good many of the farmers of Fair field to take in the farmers' insti tute at Clemson the next week. McLaurin may have missed heretofore in some of his political firing, but in hiis shot at the State democratic executive committee he hit the buAl's eye-Ben Till man. If you expect to attend the coronation of King Edward-June 25, you had better engate at once a good place to observe the pro cession. The best places are going rapidly. "Liberty," an anonymous Charlestonian, has sent us a re quest to use ouir efforts to secure the repeal of the dispensary law. The thing wanted at this time is "You can't fool all the people all the time." Tillmnan is now congratulating himself that the masses are not fooled as to who engineered those "foolish" reso lutions through the executiva committee. McLaurin has taken occasion in his reply tc the resolution of the executive committee to pour hot shot into th.e committee as a whole and Tillman the whole committee so far as the vote was concerned. Mr. Mayfield, McLaurin's Mark Hanna, says that 12 of the 21 of the executive committee who voted for the resolution against McLaurin have since expressed their regrets for the same. Re marks are withheld till further developments. At one of the farmers' insti tutes when Col. Newman began to speak about the growing of grain, one remarked: "Boys, lis ten to that; you are going to make no corn this year." We pass this warning on, and implore the farmers that they even now begin to look to their next grain crop. The governor has been re quested to furnish a suit ible sketch of Miss Parmnella (iun ningham for the Mt. Vernon ENe morial Association which was organized through Miss Cunning. ham's efforts. 'The sketch of th woman who aided so largely ii. the p reservation of the home o1 the father of his country should be forthcoming. Thomasville, North Cairolina, has a population of 1,230. It has a daily output of "3,000 chairs, 100 tables and kitchen safes, 100 baby cribs, 60 chif foniers, and large quantities of spokes, handles, and lumber." Small enterprises are the things for a small town. Winnsboro with fifty per cent. more popula tion should be looking out for some small industries to contrib ute to its upbuilding. Governor McSweeney has re fused to pardon Thomas Odom of Greenville county, sentenced to serve two years in prison for manslaughtr. Odom's crime was the carrying of a co,.cealed wea pon, which he accidentally dis eharged, killing a passer-by. Solicitor Boggs refused to recom mend the pardon on the ground that the man had no business in time of peace to be handling a weapon thus. Governor McSwee ney upheld this view by refusing the pardon. With this prece dent as a guide for future action on the part of juries and govern ors the pistol nuisance ought to be lessened. The carrying of concealed weapons is so common an evil that something ought to be done to check it. Apropos of our recent sugges tions along the line of poultry raising the following clipping is given: Missouri is a great grain State; never theless an official statement shows that the value of poultry products raised in that State last year is $75,000 greater than the value of all the corn, wheat, oats, flaxseed, rye, barley timothy, millet, cane seed, broomcorn, straw and apples raised in the State during the same year. Missouri's timber in terests are extensive; nevertheless the hens brought more wealth to the State last year than all of the forest products of all sorts put together. The value of poultry and eggs shipped by Missouri producers during 1900 amounted to one tifth the aggregate value of all the horses, mules, cattle, hogs and sheep shipped in the same length of time, the total approximating $13,00,00. If the hen can do so much for the great State of Missouri she can doroportionately as well for the small county of Fairfeld. The following clipping is from the American Sheep Breeder: "The mild climate of the South is favorable to the production of lambs for the lar Northern cities which may be reae in twelve hours. Experi ence in this business has shown that a cross of the black faced rams on Ram bouillet ewes produces the most desira ble lambs foi- these markets. The Rambouillet owe gives a good sized, quick growing lamb of the best quality. To get the earliest lambs, a few years' right management is required in such a way as to gradually, year by year, advane( the breeding season, which is done by a little good management." With so great demands here in the home markets for lambs, the farmers of Fairfield county can make money by supplying this home demand. If they will only raise the lambs, there will be no trouble about the market. And in this connection it gives us pleasure to state that one of the progressive farmers of the county is now fencing his lands for the purpose of supplying this "lamb demand." McLaurmn's reply to the reso lution of the executive commit-1 tee has been received. It is a continuous attack upon Tillman and the committee. It closes with the following condolence : "Accept my condolences on the unhappy and absurd situation into which this would-be dictator has led you. You may be assured that he will find a crevice through which to crawl, leaving you to stand the fire when it becomes hot, and that having used you he will cast you aside like many he has foi erly used. "I esire to proclaim to the world that you do not represent the intelligence, the democracy or the people of South Carolina; and to you and Senator Tillman that he has never been my master and shall never be; that he shall not escape the vengeance that must surel fall upon him when the people have been made to under stand his motives, his methods, his debased character and his shameful record. To that grand conservator of free government, the reserved patriotism and com mon sense of the people, I make appeal, against partisan intoler ance and tyranny." Nasal Pronunciation. Talking through 'the nose was formerly taken as evidence of rusticity and ignorance but it is not so now, for the habit exists even among educated people in certaiu parts of South Carolina. An eminent person of unpolished manners, or a popular young person lhaving impediments in the nasal ducts, often have imitators of the drawling notes among friends and admirers. It is an unpleasant habit and often causes unfavorable impressions to 'be conceived by intelligent strangers. The throat is intended as the organ of speech; not the nose. It has other duties. The nasal habit ought to be cultivated out. by people of culture and teachers who do not correct this habit in their pupils fail in performance of a duty. A. B. C. The city council of Charleston will, it is reported, at its next meting pass an ordinance pro viding for the enforcement of the dispensary law. The love of money is the root of some laws as ,wll a of evil. UEOURAPHICAL SURVEY. mportant Work Being none In and Around ColunhM. Quietly and without much ado i detail of ten menm from the opographical divisiog of the United States geologidal survey has arrived in this city; and yes terday pitched camp at the fair grounds preparatory tostarting a work of considerable moment to Columbia aid the State of South Carolina as well. Quite awhile ago the senators from this State agred. This agreement was in regari to a re quest to be made of th United States geological survey that a detail of men be sent io South Carolina to inaugurate t e work of making a topographical map of the State with the h e that the legislature might soo awaken to the importance of the matter and see fit to appropria funds supplementary to those spent by the federal government. In so doing this Sta$ would be but following in the ak of many States in the uno isome of which had the ent' a phy mapped out. the legislature of. N t hna passed a bill prnuling ds to pay in part the lexpense of the work in that State. T detail came here from Tarboro, N. C., where they have been faking some extensive surveys in the surrounding country. . Mr. Albert Pike of,- Wehing ton who is in charge of tie sur vey in this section, wasl kind enough to explain certain alient features of the work. It appears that this s is the first of its kind ever e in South Carolina. It will cover an area of t,000 square miles embraced be een latitude 34d. and 34d. 30m4 and longitude 81d. to 81d. 30m. The object of the survey is to construct a topographical m of this section. This map will ow all the "points of culture" o the country including roads, rail8ys, houses, etc. The map will klso register the various elevatns taken and will show the general contour of the land. This work will occupy the dir veyors until Christmas. They will make this city their -ead quarters for the first and last months of their stay in the ELat'e, sending the reznander of the t at Pr arDe miles. hdealis very t oughly equipped both as to instruments and' travelling paraphernalia. Their camp at the fair grounds contains some six or eight tents with an "Old Glory" flying over head. Among the surveyors are seve ral South Carolina fellows who have many friends in this city. The personnel of the expedition is as follows: Mr. Albert Pike, who has the work in charge, and Messrs. F. H. Cothran, H. S. Rgrs, Odell Reaburn, J. W. Inglsby. S. Smith, A Sagravio, C. K. Lindsay, Randolph Coyle and Carol Caldwell. It is a fact of significance that the section of country to be sur veyed was chosen so as to include Columbia.-The State.

The following statistics show what the reat steel strike is costing capital and labor: Number of men now on strike, 75,000. Additional number to be or dered out 90,000. Average daily wages of strik ers $3. Daily loss in wages $495,000. Daily loss in net earnings of plants $150,000. Daily manufacture of finished steel and its products withdrawn from market tons 25,000. Value of daily product $1,000, 000. Capitalization of plants in volved $530,000,000. The United States government is carrying on an interesting ex periment in Saluda county. Watermelon seed from all parts of the world are being planted to see if a melon can be found which can withstand the "wilt," a disease which has proven a deadly foe to the industry of melon planting in this section of the country. Train loads of melons were once shipped from Monetta, but the "wilt" now attacks entire fields, often with the vines full of half-grown melns. IThe steel strike is not yet set bled. The first Monday in September will be Labor day. Spartanburg is to spend $7,500 for the widening of one of its streets. In an explosion at Philadelphia the 5th about 20 people were killed. San Juan, Puerto Rico, is hop ing for $150,000 library gift from Carnegie. For changing a grade in one of its streets Greenville is to pay $2,000 damages. The Dowager Empress Fred erick of Germany died at Cron berg August 5th. The government has attached all Carter's property in and around Savannah. Within the past sixteen months 665 national banks with $34,627, 000 have been organized. Texas probably loses about $375,000 by the failure of the First National Bank of Austin. Othello Fuller of Columbia is one of the forty heirs to the $40, 000,000 estate of the late Josiah Tyson. A 15 per cent reduction in I wages of cotton mill operatives at Falls River has been an- i nounced. Mr. B. A. Hagood has been reappointed first assistant United States district attorney by John G. Capers. The Yang Tse river of China has risen to an unprecedented hight and thousands-probably 20,000-have been drowned. The boundary line between Virginia and Tennessee is being surveyed. It places the town of Bristol partly in each State. Admiral Howison has been ap pointed on the court of inquiry in the Schley case in place of Kimberly, who could not serve. Norfolk, Va., was visited by a cyclone Tuesday which wrecked a number of houses in the out skirts of the city and at Berkley. The white plumbers and gas fitters of Lorick & Lowrance of Columbia are on a strike because negroes are employed 'd: the same work. The Alabama constitutional convention has passed resolutions of sym athy for -Ex-Governor a cnc car. All told over a hundred thous and little mules have been sent from the United States to South Africa for the use of the British forces. They cost from $85 to $100 apiece. Gov. McSweeney has suspended Treasurer Dickinson of Bamburg till the meeting of the senate and appointe dJ. F. Folk as succes sor to him. The latter has quali fled and taken charge. At the recent alliance meeting in Columbia a .ommittee was ap pointed to put a lecturer in the field. They announce that they have secured the services of Hon. J. C. Wilburn as lecturer and organizer. At Enterprise, Alabama, A:' gust 7, John Wesley Pennington, a negro, was burned at the stake for an assault upon a farmer's wife of Coffee county, which crime he confessed. Five hundred wit nessed the 1)urning. The premium list of the 33rd Annual Fair of the State Agri cultural and Mechanical Society of South Carolina has been re ceived. The fair this year will begin on Monday morning, Octo ber 28, and end on Friday after noon, November 1st. Lieutenants Dunn and Mc Manus of the Charleston police force had a fearful encounter with Mike and George Washing ton, two negroes whom they were trying to arrest. As a result Mike Washington was killed and Dunn is suffering from what is probably a fatal wound. The historic old warship Ver mont has been abandoned by the government and will either be burned by fire or sent to the junk shop. This doom of the Vermont results from a recent sanitary in spection of the ship which showed that its condition was a serious menace to the health and lives of the sailors. When asked the other day he would be a candidate for the Presidential nomination in 1904 William J. Bryan said: "I have said repeatedly that I am a can didate for no office. However, I would not enter into a bond never to become a candidate. It would be foolish in any man to announce his candidacy for such an office at such a time, and it strikes me as a foolish question to be continu ally put to me by the newspaper men.

When the dry year of 1845 came which was a ornless year in this section, it required three months for the price of corn to rise from 374 en ts the first of August to 50 ents in Rutherfordton county. Now a ten days' drought in the orn States will send the price of ountry; or a generacl rain will bring the price down.-Carohina Spartan. AYOUNU LA1JD'. LIFE sAVED At P anama:.
