NEWS AND HERALD. Pf3L15H ED SEMY- WEEKL I', -BY WINNSBORO PRINTING CO. J. FRANK FOSIE, - - - EDITOR. TERMS, IN ADVANCE: One Year,............................$t.50 Six Months................. .7 WINNSBORO, S. C. Tuesday, June 11 - - - 1901 The News ,nd Herald has opposed the cuttig of wood on the street, but it is much more opposed to the hewing of tele phone poles. If this work has to be done on the streets, why not get a saw-mill? The editor of The News and Herald apologizes to Editor Hoyt of the Greenville Mountaineer for having associated his name with the wrong paper and to the editor of the Greenvill News for having given the edi.,or of The State such a fine opportunity for giviug him a rasp. " If the man who sent the editor of the Rock Hill Journal a quar ter to pay some one to get Till mam to resign unconditionally, thought he was obeying the biblical injunction to cast his bread upon the water, will find the promise fulfilled in its return before many days, for there will never be any one to cill. Just in order that the matter may not be forgotten attention is again called to the necessity of the removal of th jail. Nothing of course can be done till th next session of the legislature, but we want the members of the Fairfield delegation to know that not only the grand jury but a very large majority of all the other citizens of the county are heartily in favor of the proposed step. One farmer has sent in a request that his name be put on the peti tion for the holding of a farmers' inAitute here this summer. Fif teen instead of thirty, is the num ber required to get the institute. Are there not fourteen others who will come forward voluntarily and sign the petition? With every section of the county represented who feel enough interest in this matter to come forwagd at once and sggvlnaiy 4.Day iJz5partanbyrg. Vi spent Sa~4urday in Spartan pr oxie of the "hu~stlingest" p)acs iin South Carolina and one S1aar indeed to avery old Wofford at1dp 9, alganus. We first yisgit.d i4 fogrteen yeara ago and lian retuned every year with p~e possible exception. But every time there was an improvement 4o be noted, and so it was this time,. Street car tracks we had seen in Spartanburg more than once, but this was the first time that we had ever seen an electric street car in the ever live Spartan city. The beauty of it is the line is not confined to the city, but goes out to several of Spar tanburg's suburbs. Another improvement is being effected. The streets in the heart of the city are to be paved. The macadam is being ploughed up preparatory to putting in the paving. It was rather a strangre sight to see a team of ten horses hitched to a big plow, and tearing up the very street that had beeni built of stone. bi z. kw years ago. Every p~o;;res~ive step ol the citry ha .e (CD);jlowedl by at. inggoVem~ent an the streets. Tlh( cit'yv has recently tf.o itd J1ondel for the further imnpr"n'nt of the same, and it is to the~ credit of the city that these vere sold at a premium. The old w:agowI from the mountains wvere still t< be seen. *Without saying any thing about what mught h m been in them, it is enough to say that a plenty of chiickens~ w ere visible and that inlterestedl us much, for they were the first we had seen this season. Why it is that the people of Fairfield can not raise enough chickens to sup ply the local market is a problem that we can not understand. It is not for the want of a suitable market, for to-day hundreds could be sold here in town at good prices. The demand for -eggs is also good. But with all of Spartanburg's material progress, only one phase of which has been barely touched upon, it is an educational centre as the city has ever been known, and this is its proudest distinc Spartanburg at the State summr' school we shall have more oc casion to speak of this. 1OSSY DALE ITEMS. Well, Mr. Editor, I will try again to reach your office with another communican as I signal ly failed two weeks ago to do so. I was in hopes my letter would have turned up 1 by this time, but such seems not to be the case. It has been lost through the mail somewhere. In it I tried to give you my reunion trip to Columbia and join my praise with others who so graphically described our grand reception by the citizens of Columbia. It was the most pleasant meeting I have ever at tended in the State, and I hope our executive committee may be able to secure our next reunion at the same place. I will not at tempt at this late day to enter into details again for it is rather late to do so. I am glad to see that the Gov ernor so completely shut off the Tillman-McLaurin embroglio and gave the people of the State one year's rest. I cannot see any just reason for their action any way, and it is remarkably strange that after Tillman's recent elec tion for six more years in the United States senate without any opposition that lie should force that course on the junior senator just to show him up to the people. McLaurin was elect ed as a Democrat in a Democratic primary, and it would seem to be a better course to pursue for the State Democratic committee, if they consider that McLaurin has violated his pledges to the party and is in full harmony with the Republicans, to say so and re quest his resignation. No need for a primany this year, for judg ing from their first joint meeting it would not be of any special educational advantage to the State. We are not in a position to cast censure too quickly and to make grave charges before time has developed things. We may not agree with the junior senator in all things, but he claims that he will and can sat isfy the voters as to his Democ racy and explain his votes in Congress to our satisfaction. Let us hold judgment and see what will transpire. The -Gcvernor replies pretty .t1tty to the senior senator in answer to his charges against him as to his reasons for re"uig the resianations. ;Now I think tipisode i~s''gand we will have no more of~tn affair; I hope so at least. Our farms are in a pretty blue fix ai this time. It has been rainiug for several weeks past and farm work has been greatly retarded. There is considerable cotton to chop yet, and what has been chopped needs the plow hadly, for it is very grassy, as the grass was cut out while wet and is grewing in the middles. Corn needs work badly. The crop is materially injured now. The oat crop is not as good as expected. Wheat is tolerably fair. Gardens are very backward. It has been the worst year to get seeds up I ever saw. The melon crop is also very backward. Mr. Jas. H. Disaker has been suffering for several weeks with a very severe abscess, but I am proud to report some improse. ment in his condition. Mrs. Laura Gibson is on ia visit at Hyatt Park to nurse Mrs. F. K. Mann, who is. sick. Mr. Mossy MLaim returned from the shops in, Colum~bia to recu perate his health. I received a letter from my Ison, .4. A. McKinstry, Co. C, 29th~ RBegiment. He has been appoint. ed corporal, was well and getting along nicely and well pleased with army life. T. B. McKi. .June 10, 1901. Mr. Thomas H.

'We are planning and hopiu for a most interesting and helj ful meeting at that time, an herewith extend to you a mnos cordlial invitation to be presen We were pleased to learn < the growth of the Wiinshr ohurch under their consecrate and energetic pastor, thme Re J.

Ezell. fliss Flenniken's Recital. It is customary at the Presby terian College for Women to have, at intervals during the month preceding the commencement, a series of recitals in the different departments, exhibiting the re sults of the year's work. One of the most successful of these entertainments was given last Friday evening by Miss Janie Flenniken, the first young lady who has received a certificate in the department of voice culture. Seldom is a programme of such classic selections given at a col lege for young ladies. Miss Flen niken scored triumph in every song she rendered, showing a voice well rounded, finished, and of sympathetic quality. She has the reputation of having been a remarkably industrious and thor ough pupil, and her work was suggestive of the excellent taste and broad culture of her teacher, Miss Klebs.

Averill and the Charleston Board. iThe commissioners who hive in charge the State exhibit at the Charleston exposition met here yesterday. There were present r at the meeting Gov. McSweeney, 0 Col. Thomas Wilson, Col. John v B. Cleveland and Senator Louis Appelt. Mr. John H. Averill, director general of the exposition r company, Was present at the 0 meeting in behalf of the exposi tion company. dcddt s th 'exposition directors to act as ~~tlie agents for the South Carolina jcosnmission. The Charleston Amanagement has a fully organized force and all of the machinery in ,operation for quick work and get ting the maximum results. The commission indicated the manner yin which it desires to have the fund expended, and the distribu tion suggested by the commission was entirely acceptable to Col. Averill, representing the exposi tion management. Three prizes were provided for the three counties having the best county exhibits. The first prize is to be $1,000, the second $500 :and the third 8250. The prize money is to be used as the county ycommissioners of the various ycounties deem best and proper. MIr. A. W. Love, the superin itendent of the State fair, was -elected superintendent for the gSouth Carolina commission. He will visit all of the counties and dgive p)ersonal attention to the tcollection of the exhibits of the .resources of the State. He will fhave charge of the State building, owhen it is completed, under the ddirection of the exposition man agement. It was provided that a reason ~able amount of floor space would dbe provided free of cost to all fparties exhibiting the resources Sof the State in any department. SThis is to apply only to South eCarolina crude or manufactured Sproducts, and no excessive amount tof space is to be allowed free to eany one exhibitor. - Clemson college and the South - Carolina college sach having :t made appropriations from their funds for an exhibit at Charles d ton, were voted $500 each on con : dition that they expended that nmchi or more, and $250 was voted I'for a supplementary fund for the SCitadel academy. nThe sum of $1,000 was set asidle for the preparation of an exhlibit of the mineral resources and forestry of the State. This -department is to be in charge of iState Gecologist Earle Sloan, who - is to work in this with the exposi tion. IThe contract for the State building as made by a sub-comn imittee was ratified and provision emade for other expenditures in iconnection with the State build iing not provided for in the origi nal contract. oProvision was made for the in stallation and care of the exhibits ...while in Chareon, for o-nnea ion in securing the exliibits from dL1 parts of the State, for the ransportation of all exhibits to tnd from the er, osition, and for much other matters as could be >rovided for. The State of South Carolina las rich possibilities in the fish ndustry and a great many imil ions are made out of fish, oysters ind the like in neighboring States. Fle commission hoped by making L first-class exhibit in this de partment to excite interest in this lepartment, which would result n developinent. An appropiia ion of $1,000 was made for-a shery exhibit. The commission, after remain ing in Session for nearly four hours, adjourned to meet at the call of the ebairman. Mr. Love, the superintendent, will get out into the field at once to secure exhibits. Col. Averill is much pleased with the disposition of the State commission and is satisfied that the State will have a creditable exhibit at the great exposition. Appropriations were made to the Institute for the Deaf and Blind and the State Hospital for the Insane to make displays of their industrial departments and the work they are doing. County Exhibits, A meeting of the exposition commission has been called to meet in Columbia, June 9. It is expected then that arrangements to receive county exhibits will be made. It is likely that some one who is familiar with such things will be able to secure such ex hibits. J. B. Mabrey, who-killed W. T. Darby over in Greenville county, was acquitted last week at Green ville. It was clearly established that gJabrey acted in self-defense. Liet. Gov. James H. Tilhnan has been invited to deliver the literary address at the commence ment of the State University of Kentucky this year. Notice of Election in School District No. 22.
