WINNSBORC, S. C.
Wednesday. March 12, - - 1902
Secretary Long has retired
from the cabinet. It seems that
it will not be long till the presi
dent will have an entirely new
corps of advisers.
Citizen Josh says give the
Tillmans what they deserve.
Then treat them with silent con
tempt instead of waftivg them
on to glory by columns of abuse.
Every now and then some one
suggests the propriety of organ
izing a military company in town.
Winnsboro, as is well known at
one time, had a company in the
Gordon Light Infantry that any
town might well be proud of.
This company, however, was dis.
banded at the time of the Dar
lington riot, and I,o successor to
it has ever been organized. The
gap between the disbanding of
the old and the organizing of a
now company is now long enough,
and we should like to-see a move
made to break the gap. Will not
some one take the initiatory step?
March 20th is to be South Car
olina Day at the Charleston Expo
tion, and the people should make
it a great red letter day for the
Exposition and for the State.
The Exposition is growing in pop
ularity every day, and is now
attracting the attention of the
whole country. The more it is
patronized by the home people
the better it can serve its purpose
of attracting the attention of the
outside world to its industries,
and without the attendance of the
people of the State it can not but
fail in many vital points. We
trust that hundreds from this
county will be able to take it in,
and we specially hope that the
child'ren will have the opportu
nity of going, for to them, espe
cially, it would be a great educa
tional influence.
On the last page of this issue
will be found the premi mn liet of
the county fair to b\held in
Winnsboro the last wee es
ber. It is -printed this faly so
ihat all may know what ~miums
will be offered and to en 3e them
to plant with a viehw tc. peting
for them. Look over the list
carefully and then set about to
compete for one or more of the
premiums offered therein. The
executive committee is very anx
ious to'-see the number of exhib
itors greatly increased, and will
be very gla.d to have your assis
tance in making the fair a success.
Orie of the ways in which you
can render this assistance is by
making an exhibit. They have
told you what they will do for
them, now set to work for your
self and for them.
The'feed problem is a perplex
ing one with the farmers this
year. The corn supply waa un
precedentedly short, the earlier
grain having been killed and the
amount of spring sowing being
very small, the farmers are going
to have to buy most of the food
with which they cultivate their
crops, and some will even have to
buy grain food for them till corn
comes in. Th trouble can be ini
part overcome by sow ing oats at
this time. Another w:iy of bridg
ing over this fee.i probn cis .
planting forige ero .s. For~ thi
purpose there is n(othe? b-*t
than ealy amb'er so gin eau&
which can be had at ha t i t
cost. If vou have ever tr ei
this useful crop, try it ti
son. Plant early, cultis we
and by the first of .) lui vIw
be getting a good suj y- of a
food for your stock. An:1i if vm
will not be too sparing in o
sowing, you can have <ntogh V.
feed borte, mule, cow, and hogs.
And it wouldn't be a bad p)lan to
set aside a good large patch for
the feed of the family. A gallon
of sorghum is far better than
almost any of the molasses to be
bought in the summer.
We have several times urged
the importance of every' citizen
to vote. Oni account of certain
restrictions thrown about the bal
lot box, there is some necessary
red tape. In this State regist ra
tion is essential to voting. Every
citizen ought, therefore, to regis
ter so as to put himself in a posi
Most frequently in our elections
where the candidate has already
been nominated in a primary, it
is a matter of very little conse
quence as to the number of votes
cast. But we have a very unde
sirable element that at some time
when the votes of the whites are
very scattering m:ght attempt to
carry the day. On this account,
therefore, it behooves every citi
zen to comply with every require
ment necessary to his voting in
any given election. Every citizen
in Winnsboro who has a State
registration certificate is entitled
to registration in the coming
municipal election, the necessity
to pioduce a town tax receipt
now being off as the time for the
payment of taxes has been ex
tended. We should like to see
every white man place himself in
a position to vote, and if there is
any white man in the town or
county who hasn't a State regis
tration certificate we urge upon
him the importance of getting
such a certificate at the earliest
possible time so that he may be
in a position to vote at all times,
and especially at such times as
where his vote is needed for the
protectioh of his race.
For Railroad Commissioner.
To the Elitor of ie 2New8 and
Hjerald:
In view of the peculiarly per
plexing problems of government
presenting themselves on every
hand it is more than ever neces
sary for the people of South Car
olina to exercise careful scrutiny
in the selection of public officials.
They cannot afford to base their
choice on any consideration save
fitness, and fitness consists both
in integrity to do right and in
intelligence to know what is right
so that the scales of justice may
be evenly balanced in the deter
mination of issues arising from
conflicting interests. Serious in
jury may be inflicted by honest
error. The problem of transpor
tation is exceedingly complex.
When properly conducted rail
ways are a great potent fac
tor in furthering the public
welfare. Their great usefulness,
however, clothes them with great
power for evil as well as good. It
is the duty of the State to see
that the rights of the public and
the-railways are alike carefully
guarded and that there shall be
no encroachment from either side.
This is a simple proposition, but
i:aplca ' is4 no ests
no;nybe use of
shippers and carriers, but also
because of the conflict between
the interstate'commerce juri'sdic
tion of the United States and the
police power of the State. 'The
exact line of demarcation betwe en
the two has not yet been drawn,
and new issues will constantly
present themselves demanding
the exercise of enlightened, judg
ment. The railroad commission,
therefore, is a department of
government of great importance.
Recognizing this, many citizens
desire to nominate for Railroad
Commissioner Mr. John G. Mob
ley, of Fairfield. Besides pos
sessing a legal training he has
for a number of years been e'i
gaged in farming and dairy hus
bandry. For twelve years a direc
tor of the State Agricultural
Society, he has done as much for
the improvement and de 'elopment
of the dairy br-eeds of cattle as
any one in South Car-olina. He
is a practical farmer-thoroughly
identified with the agriculturil
interests of the State, and has
also favored the development of
our resources along all lines of
ind (ust rv.
Mr. Moblev has ever been con
si icuous for his public spirit and
mI:tiring energy. He has always
ta. en an active part in politics
* ud has always regarded the mn
* tr<st of a friend as his own. In
e Legislature his ability. and
* ess were well display ed. lie
asfearless in presenting his own
mec, but alway s courteous to
]is 01 ponents. In recognition of
he wcrth the Legislature made
urm a director of the penitentiary
av en almost unanim:ous vote.
as F ailroad C >mmnissionier he
wend carefully study the pioblemn
of Ii ansportatio and do justice
without fear or favor. Affable in
nmnner and pl.asant in speech
Mr-. MLobley woald be a popular
as well as a capable 'f>al. For
all these reasons he. is placed in
nominat iou and it,is believed that
Ihe will be elected.
T he above is respectfully sub
mitted for the consideration of
the State by
Citizens Who Know Him.

The cre.nbrier En>tertainment.
At the home of Mr. Thomas
Blair last -Friday evening an
n'ertaiiuiient was given under
he auspices of the Greenbrier
W. F-M. Society and, as usual,
was a perfect success.
The house was taxed to its
uttermost cap:icity to accomodate
the crowd and each one w-s made
to feel as if they were a specially
invited guest, for a more hospita
ble home than Mr. Blairs is not
to be found in this county.
The souvenir room was soon
cleared by the children and their
shouts of joy after winding the
cord gave evidence of t heir 1pleas
ure and sati4actio., in th,2 souv
nir they- fouu.
The doll (a faslionab'e (1re,se3
young lady) was won by Mr.
Thomas Leitner. She was qate
a beauty and we are glad he has
at last won a young ladj even
though it b'e a doll. .
Our widower was there in all
his glory, and he wa s so 'dis
tracted by the sight of so many
pretty giils that it was almost
found nccessary to appoint a
guardian for him.
The cake for the most popular
young lady, after an exciting con
test, was won by Miss. Eula
Ligon.
Mr. Elder from the quarry
added very much to the pleasures
of the evening with. his grapho
phone. There were several ac
comolished musicians present
and entertained the crowd charm
ingly with vocal and instrumental
music.
The refreshments were so well
cooked and so temptingly served
that everything was disposed of
- of.
The process of the evening
1 amounted to $40.70.
At 12 p. m. reluctant good
byes were exchanged and the
i long talked of, much thought of
entertainment was a thing of the
past. 0. B.
