Tuesday. September 3 - - 1901
The suggestion made a few
days ago that there is need of
organized labor in the working of
the county roads applies with
equal force to the working of the
streets i.1 town. It strikes us
that ii wouldbe the better part of
wisdom to get a thoroughly com
petent man, well ve in road
working and with experience in
supervising labor, to take charge
of a large force of hands for a
few days rather than to have a
small force all the while without
direct supeivision. This is a
practical suggestion and were the
streets worked on this plan better
work would be done, and that toc
at less cost.
The condition of Waters Hill
near Rock Hill has been such aE
to be an impediment to the farm
ers of the surrounding country
when coming into that progres
sive city. But it is not alway,
to remain thus. Progressive pri
vate citizens are furnishing some
money and progressive farmer,
are furnishing teams and wagon
to put the ill. in a proper con
dition. What Rock Hill haj
done in this matter of fixing ul
the roads leading into it is fo
an example for every town in th
State that wishes the key to suc
cess. A similar investment oi
the part of Winnsboro's citizen
and neiahboring farmers coul4
effect great things for the prog
ress of our town. A town cai
make no better investment tha
in its street and in the road
leading into it. It beats factoriei
railroads, etc.
A visit to any of the churc
cemeteries of Winnsboro im
presses one with how rapidl
these sacred spots are bein
filled. The family square, wher
great grandfather and great granc
mother together with their child
~~but little more room. Potter'
- field f*. the strangers and. th
poor is well nigh full. Severa
generations have found their las'
resting places in these sacrec
spots. Provision must be made
for the burial of some of the
present generation and for th<
generations to come. A pubhi
cemetery is needed. This nee<
could be based upon sanitary rea
sons. .But the crowded condi
tion of chese cemeteries supphiet
the basis for the greater need o
a public cemetery.. Let wha
space now remains in the ceme
teries cf the various churches b
set aside for the burial of th
older ones of this generation
But for the younger ones, fo
new corners, for the poor, and fo
the strangers let a public cemeter;
be provided.
A few days ago the editor o
this paper spent several hours a
Hartaville, the town of Majo
J. L. Coker, in Darlington county
We say the town of Maj. Cokei
for to his indefatigable efforts
successful business managemen
and public spirit the town is wha
it ia~-<ne of the very best sma]
towns in the State, in fact
model town. Its founder in hi
farsightedness incorporated th
wise provision that no whiske
should ever be sold in it-so1
has no barroom, no dispensary
nor indeed can it have.
Hartsville is both ' ani agricul
tural and manufe.cturing tow:
Its situation and its fertile soi
make it well adapted to agr ica]
tural pursuits. At the time c
our vi.sit its cotton and~ eor
crops easily surpassed ;uny w
had then seen. The gramn ere
had been unusually fine, especiall;
wheat, that crop for so man;
years not adapted to the loi
country. What little tobacci
was obiserved, was poor, thougl
the sh rtness of the crop is mor
than cnmpensated for in the goo<
prices. Three watermelons weigh
mng 214j pounds-70, 71 and 71
pounds respectively-gave prac
tical demonstration of the possi
bilities of this section in melo:
growing...
Som~e methods of cultivatio:
of crops were noted. We giv
only one. Much cotton is plantel
in six foot rotvs with a row c
peas 'between. By putting th
same amount of fertilizers on a.
acre Dlanted thus, the yield i
very. iGearly if not quite as muel
a- where the rows are plantei
more ooieIy together. The dif
ference is well made up for in the
peas, which, without any con
sideration for their value for hay
or for seed, pay a good dividend
in building up the soil. While
but few have tried this method,
its strongest supporters are those
who have tested it most thor
oughly. We might add- that the
finest cotton we saw was in rows
planted as above, and there was
also a fine prospect for a pea
crop in the same field, the peas
being very late.
In manufactu.i the town has
a cotton seed oil mill and a cotton
mill in construction. These man
ufacturing enterprises are too
common to mention. We shall
speak here of another manufactur
in enterprise that gives to Harts
vile the singular distinction of
having what no other town in
South Carolina has-a paper mill.
From this mill one to three car
loads of all grades of wrapping
paper are daily shipped to large
jobbers. In the making of this
paper several Carloads of wood
are daily used. This wood was
at first obtained near the mill,
but it is now shipped in and
brings abont $3.00 a cord. The
sap wood is preferable, and the
short leaf pine is preferable to
the long leaf. In converting the
wood-only pine is used at this
mill-into paper two processes
are used. In the one the wood
is fed into a large chopping ma
chine that devours chunks of
wood as readily as a corn shred
der does stalks of corn. This
chipped wood is then cooked into
the finest pulp by a chemical
treatment of sulphuric acid and
lime. In the other process the
r wood is fed into a crusher, whiel
is as fond of big sticks of wood
- as a sausage mill is of fat meat,
And with all your talk about wet
9 sappy pine won't burn, you jus
I ought to see what a quantity oJ
- water is required in this machin
I to prevent this same wet, sapp3
i wood from being consumed b:
a the friction of the machine! The
,t quality of the paper made de
pends upon the relative propor
tion of cooked and ground woo<
used, the more cooked wood giv
- ing the finer grade. This pape
mill represents an investment o
over $100,000 and is said to b
a fine paying investment. All th
--labor used is white, and tho

Sactual workings of the school
wero also encouraging, and the
school seems to have a brighi

What we saw and heard deeply

A Misinterpretatlon.
This paragraph was in. Friday's
issue of The News and Herald:
For twelve yeW The State has been
trying to defeat Ti.man.by opposing
him. If itcontinues its support of him
it will come neirer making-the job
complete iin twelve months.
The State resented it. in the
following:
This is a misrepresentation uuworthy
of a gentleman bearing the reputation
we have understood Mr. J. Frank
Faoshe, editor of The News and Herald,
.to have. The State does not object to
an intimation that its su port will de
feat any candidate, but it doe objeet
to the promulgation of an insinuation
that it is suporting or has supported
Tillman. e senior senator has five
years yet to serve in his present office
and is not now subject to support or
opposition. If the editorof The News
and Herald does not know that fact,
and if he cannot realize that it is possi
ble to agree with a man on certain
issues and yet disapprove of him wholly
as a person and as a politician, that
editor has not sense enough to edit a
newspaper. If he can realize the dis
tinction and disr rds in a desire to
make a hackneye jibe at a contenipo
rary, he displays a woeful lack of char
acter that should disqualify him frr the
work of imparting instruction eitherto
the public-or to children. .
Of course the editor of The
News and Herald knows that
"the senior senator has five years
yet to serve in his present posi
tion." He also realizes that it is
possible to agree with a man in
certain issues. and yet disapproye
of him wholly as a person and as
a politician. This position he
has announced mora than once in
connection with Mr. McLaurin,
whom he does not favor at all,
though he does entertain and has
for a long time entertained some
of the same measures that the
junior senator now advocater.
This editor also knows that the
senior senator is "not now subjeci
to support or opposition", in.the
sense of being a candidate tc
succeed McLaurin. Nor wag
there any effort on his part tc
throw a hackneyed jibe at a con
temporary, whom he had misin
terpreted, but whom he was i.nt
wise endeavoring to misrepresent

A Strong Plea for Uoed Roads.
.Mr. .Editor: It is pleasant tc
see building going on, even od
new stores, though there are sev
eral unoccupied in town now. II
seems that it would be better to
build dwelling houses -ind thereby
encourabe an increase of popula
tion. But new stores are going
up and customers must be looked
up. The roads around Winns
boro are bad and many people
who would trade here often gc
elsewhere. If the roads were
muacadamized for 10 miles in al)
directions from Winnsboro much
'trade would be brought whicta
now does not come. Would ii
pay for the town to issue bondi
to the amount of $10,000 to build
to build the roads? I believe it
would. That amount (with the
help of the chain gang) expended
on the roads would do much tc
build up Winnsboro and its brade
more than anything else that ih
possible now. Progress.
The complete returns of the
Lcotton mills from Aiken countj
show that upder the new plan o:
assessment the assessment o:
mills in that county will be re
duced from $1,718,952 to $1,500,
1300. In Bichland county the in
crease in assessment on the cot
ton mills will be considerably
over half a million dollars.
OUR PROSPEROUS CITIZENS.
The Average American a Well-To-Do I
Property Owner.
The average American, accord
ing.to Dr. Henry Gannett, is as
sredly prosperous. He owns a
farm vorth $3,500, on which there
is a mortgage of $500, and his
yearly income is about $540. Be
sides, he has $750 in railway
stock and bonds, and, on deposit
in a savincs bank in Columbus,
the sum o7 $150. Elsewhere Le
possesses other property, includ
ing a house-lot in a suburban
sub-division, the value of which
at present it is not easy to esti
mate, as it was purchased several
years ago, at inflated prices. His
entire estate has an estimated
value of $5,000, and his annual
income is, on an average, about
$750. His property is assessed
at about 40 ..per cent. of its true
value, and he pays taxes amount
ing to $14.60, or 73 cents per $100
of assessed valuation.
