WINNSBORO, S. C.
Wednesday. January 8, - - 1902
And now come the directors of
the State dispensary with the
cheering information that .they
are using the profits for the
school funds as a working capi
tal.
The General Assembly con
venes next Tuesday. The elec
tion of several circuit judges and
directors of the State dispensary
will be a part of the business for
this session.
For the first time in a period
of twenty-five years . Chief Jus
tice McIver was absent from the
session of the supreme court
Tuesday, having been detained at
home by sickness in his family.
The mills and banks of Spar
tanburg county have just paid
out their semiannual dividends
for the last half of 1901, which in
round numbers footed up the
handsome sum of one-quarter of
a million.
Notwithstanding the great rise
in the price of whiskey on ac
count ol the increase in the price
of grain, the dispensaries have
maintained the former prices on
their X's. This is only one of
the ways for popularing the
State's great political machine.
The subject of good roads is
being kept prominently before
the attention of the people of
this section. A Good Roads
Congress is to be held at Augusta
Jan. 20-25. Many prominent
speakers will be present, and an
invitation will be extended the
memqers of the South Carolina
legislature to attend.
At a recent meeting of the rail
road c 'nt was
made.th had is
*imed that ti oints
'i against arohina
a no .e com
sn is was a
' ati e ide
dent milze ight had
ai sent in ance . with
these low secret ra s, the only
thing done was for the commis
mion to issue an order preventing
hhe railroads from making any
ates or charges in rates without
't submitting the same to them.
The advertisement of a Winns
o merchant offering a large
utity of peavine hay for sale
attracted favorable notice in
-quarters. It should be a
object lesson here at home.
sie hay at $15 a ton is a
-' ~ n~ ,rdfitable crop than cotton
at sighing less than ten cents.
Whiltt may not always be pos
sible to export it from the county,
yet enough of it should be raised
so that no hay of any kind should
1: sve to be imported here. Now
is the time to begin to prepare for
it. Sow grain now, and also buy
peas with, which to sow the land
after the grain has been cut.
At this time when there is
seemingly so much depression on
account of the shortness of the
crops of the past year, many are
prone to leave 'the farm for the
factory and other places that pay
a fixed salary or wages. Thbis is
unfortunate, and every famnily that
leaves the faam makes' it onily
that much harder for e?ve: y othier
family that remali~ cmo t.:e farm.
"Stick to the fariin" i~s the ven~
best advice that entr be given t
the man that is already on 'the
farm, aind we do~ubt not that it
would be the very best ad vice to
hundreds of families in tow~ns to
advise them to "teturn to the
farm." We know not how others
feel when they see this ?migration
from the farms, but as for us we
see in it the undermining of every
source of wealth in the countyv.
The farm is the best place after
all.
The question of the issuance
of -the proposed bonds is now a
dead issue. AMte1' mature reflec
tion it now seems that it was
unfortunate that the matter wvas
* egr originated. Whatever may
be said in favor or against such
a proposition under ordinary
eircnmstances, this proposal origi
nating as it did with a view in
part tomeeting an emergency has
over their conditions While
these conditions with many have
been unusually tight and are not
yet relieved, nothing is to be
gained by brooding over them.
The only thing that can be done
is to face the future manfully
and with the same courage as if
all appapently had gone well. ' In
doing this it is best for every one
to get his true bearings and trim
his sails in accordance with the
conditions. The conditions in
the county are not so bad that
they can not be met, and to those
who struggle on in a manful
way as all should do there is
surely to be a reward.
A few days ago we called to
see a certain merchant. We were
told that he was in the lot, and
being in a hurry we went out to
see him rather than wait for his
return. He was busily engaged
in having the stables in his store
lot filled with. litter, and greeted
us with the statement "I am
making corn." There was a
whole sermcn in this remark,
preached in practice. What this
merchant was doing is what all
who till the soil in any way
should be doing at thi; season.
The farmer that makes his fertil
izers at home is far wiser than
the one who buys them from the
merchant. And now is the sea
son when farmers should utilize
all their spare time in getting in
litter, preparatory to cutting
down their guano bill and to
permanently improving their
lands. This merchant had found
this work proftable last year, for
on one and one-half acres he
made fifty bushels of corn last
year, while many of those to
whom he sold corn did not make
that much on their entire place
worked by several.tenants. While
climatic conditions have not been
the most favorable, and while
much of the work' of men ac
counted good farmers has been
seemingly in 'vain, yet it must
still be borne in mind that there
is more in the man than there is
in the land.
Size Increased.
At an early day the size of The
News and Herald will be increased
Preparations are being. made to
that end.
For the information of our
readers, we have gathered the
following information in regard
to the receipts and shipments of
cotton at this market for this
cotton year. Dee. 25th, 1901, the
total receipts, including the
amount in cotto:2 mill, 'in - ware
houses, and at depot not receipted
for were 7,510 against 9,422, mak
ing a difference of 1,912 in favor
of the previous year. In detail
the figures for amounts on hand
are:
1900 1901
Cotton Mill..... 1,045 721
Warehouses...2,550 1,356
Depot platform..501 83
It is known that the amount
still in the county--as compared
with this period last year-is very
small, and it is very probable that
Winnsboro will fall short in its
total receipts for the year very
nearly 3,000 bales. The ship
ments from Winnsboro up to Jan.
1, 1902, were 4,858 against 4,805
up to .Jan. 1,1901.
Many sections of the country
suffere'd great damage from the
recent heavy rains.
A proposition hgs been made
by the United States to sell the
Panama canal for forty millions.
The secretary of state reports
that the fees collected in his office
the past year amount to $40,000,
as against 8,000 for the previous
year.
State Treasurer Jennings re
ports that so far only about $100,
000~ of the million dollars taxes
ha~s been paid into the State
treasury.
Hester's cotton statement is
sned J anuiary 3 gives the total
cotton shipment since Sept. 1 to
be 6,727,094 against 6,651,514 in
1900 and 6,029,717 in 1899.
Child Worth flillions.
"My child is worth millions to me,"
says-Mrs. Mary Bird, of Hamisburg,
Pa., "yet I would have l't her by
e*roup h'ad I not purchas. U a bottle of
Onhe Minute Cough Cure.'' One Minute
Cough Cure is .sure cure for coughs,
croup and throat and lung troubles.
An absolutely safe cough cure whieh
acts immediately. The youngest child
can take it with entire safety. Trhe lit.
tie ones like the taste and remember
how often it helped them. Every fam
ily should have a bottle of One Minute
Coughi Cure handy. At -this season
especially it may be needed suddenly.

Fir. Fiobley Interviewea&
The State.
Hon. John G. Mobley of Fai
field was in the city yesterda
and was asked by a representa
tive of The State as to the e
dition of the agricultural peo
in that county. He stated tha
ellmatic influences and b
worms that had affected the cro
throughout the State, had cu
them short in Fairfield also; bu
that the agricultural and mercan
tile interests were no worse ther
than in many other sections.
Said Mr. Mobley: "Fairfield i
one of the very best counties o
the State, and the land there re.ga
sponds generously to proper cuib
tivation, but the heavy rains ii of
the spring, and early sumne]th
followed by a sharp drought, ha:P,
made the past year the worst thalb
the oldest farmers can recollect m
"The proposed issue of bond b
has been voted down. The propo W
sition originated from pubfi d
spirited men who are large prop i
erty holders and who were actor a
ated by a sincere desire to givi ti
employment to those who wanted C
work and to improve the public d:
roads. Their patriotic effort: SI
however, has created a wrong im
pression, as the people there are
as well prepared to fight the con
ditions that confront them asp
anywhere in the State."
