EWS AND HERALD. PUBL1ISWD WEEIK, WINNSBORO PRINTING CO. J. FRANK FOOSHIE, - - - EDITOR TERMS, 1F ADVANCE: One Year,................$1.50 1 Six Months....................... .. -75 WINNSBOR O, S. C. I WednesdAy. Norember 5, 1902 1 The committees appointed to get up the enrollment of the Con- t federate veterans of this county I are published in this issue. Mr. I Neil deserves thE greatest thanks of all who wish to see the records t kept straight for the faithful man- 1 rer in which he performs his duties in this matter which he is making a labor of love. If these E committees will only go to work t with the same earnestness and t enthusiasm as has Mr. Neil, it t will only be a question of a very short time till the complete records for. Fairfield County will i be safe. In this connection we i beg again to express our willing ness to print any old company ' rolls that may be in the hands of t any one in the county. The pub- C lication of these rolls can be of great service at this time. By reference to another column of this issue, it will be seen that a party in town has undertaken* the establishment of a regular ma .et for butter and eggs in W insboro. Of course there is already a market for such articles but the seller has oftentimes to huat the town diligently over for i it, ard then in too many instances be compelled to take almost any ( o'd p:ce .'or it. This difficulty in fiudng a ready bayer has been a the occasion for many a person ] to neglect the handling of these so called small itens, the total annual value of which amounts to more than the value oficotton - and corn. If the plan fallen upon - works, then there ought not to be ( any trouble for any one to find a market for their butter and E eggs. The success of the plan, I however, depends upon parties who will give enough attention I to these little trivial matters as to have their supplies at regular!i intervals, There ought to be a 1 arge number of persons able to . supply one to five pounds of C 'cutter regularly eve -y week and< also several dozen eggs. To suchI parties the plan proposed offers g eat inducemonts, and they si ould not be slow to carry it 2 into practice. A few of teprominent busi ness men of Kershaw have or ganized themselves into .a stock company to experiment in the1 Scultivation of tobacco with. a~ i'ew of getting the farmers in that sectioin interested in the caltivation of this crop which of has.to e so manch for the im provement of the Pee Dee section of South Carolina. What the business men of Kershaw are doing is what the business men of Winnsboro should do. As noted by us a few days~ ago there in very much land in Fairfield county that appears lo be well~ *adapted to the growing ofgbecco,I a crop which has proven 'fo be! very profitable of late years. But it remains for an actual test to bei - .. made to prove whether these] lands are so adapted. If it is left for an individual farmer here and there, then it will be many a year before anythirg definite "?along this line can be accomiplish ed. The needl therefore is for co-operation on the p~art of busi ness men, who are, willing to risk a little money to stimnulatei a new industry in the county.] If the bun ess men of \Vinnsboro would get together in thi~s ma.tter. they would no d,>ubt ar aLIy hel p themsalves in their effir:s to bely others. Will not somie o.etaC the leaMi The usual annual ww i f .I ball between the studets of t b< South CarolinaL College aui 1 l son College came off at the~ Stat fair last Thiursday, resuhing ii. favor of the former instittiion,. he score being 12 to 6. This ing their first victory over t Le lemson tigers in about six or ven games, the Carolina stu nts became so elated over their ctory thaf~ they made a transpa cy, on which they represented .fbeir victory by a game cock sit ting on the head of a tige~r. This -was a little too much for the1 Clemson boys, and so they went * to the college campus and de manded the transparency. The cooler heads in the two student I bodies agreed to submit the mat ~er to a .beard of arbitration, t rIIaarecy should be burned in ho presence of the two student sodies and that both sides ishould leclaro for peace. Up to this )ont the daily newspapers had ittle to say of the matter as they o their credit were not endeavor ng to make a big sensation of he same. However, one could 1ear from those who had been in tttendance upon the fair that the eeling between the two student >odies was much greatei than had >een reported. The Clemson itudents and their friends it seems nterpreted the final settlement of be matter as a back down on the >art of tbo Carolina boys, and his has led the latter through AT. C. Benet, Jr., an alumnus of he college, to make a statement u their behalf, in which Lieut. .irmyer in command of the corps )f Clemson cadets is taken everely to task, for not keeping he Clemson students under con rol, especially when he well knew heir intentions in the matter. Chere will no doubt follow a war )f words between the friends of he two student bodies, and there vill doubtle.ss be echoes of this ame for a long time to come. rhere even comes a report that he matter has divided the stu lents of Winthrop to such an stent that the two factions are 6hmost at "dagger's" points.

THE OBEAR DRUG COrIPANY, 5< Druggists. A Growing City. M B1 Monday afternoon we took a little flying trip out in the vicinity t of Rock City. and though it was U very late in the afternoon enough was seen to impress us that the WiDnsboro Granite Company is a doing a great thins in the devel- ti opment of that section. . The ti company itself is having a good b number of cottages built-12 in t h all-and is putting up anotherh hotel. Thea, too, several parties -n in the community are putting up ti small cottages to rent and also to sell to the operatives on the in stallmant plan. Th tore buildi recen -? >ccuplie teT..

Up af Green- ~ brier, if that part of Rock City ~ can be so called, Mr. J. R. Curlee is doing a good business in the b store recently built for him, and o, just a little further up Mr. G. H. d Steadman is still doing business P at the old stand, which he has ~ found necessary to greatly en large -within the past few months ~ on account of the growth of his a business.

AGE ON THE COAL STRIKE inancier Declarea Operaitntn Should Meet Strikers to End Trouble. "The coal mine operators ought to mfer with the strikers. I have no ?rsonal interest In the mines, but In any railways that buy and carry ml, and so if my opinion be asked I in take the liberty of expressing it." Russell Sage expressed this opinion te other night to a reporter of the New ork American at his cottage at Cedar urst, Long Island, after reading of te serious aspect the coal strike had msumed. "As a director in twenty-seven corpo ttions," he continued, "with much ex rience of men and manners, I rec nmend to the employers to meet their bellious workingmen in the fairest ay that may be devised. The em oyers have said that there was noth g to arbitrate, I know, and there is great deal of vanity in their refusal make advances to the strikers now. he employers consider that their feel gs have been wounded very cruelly. "I admit that. But so have been the eliugs of the strikers. Why can't the nployers invite their laborers to meet em and talk over the whole matter ain? They need not talk of senti ent. It is a question of money sim y. The strikers are not making any, r are the operators, nor are the deal s. I should think that the dealers ight use their efforts, combined with ofit to themselves, to persuade the nployers to yield. I have yielded of n, although I have been called un nching. Here Is a mortgage the In, rest of which has not been paid for ree years. Have I not yielded? The terest amounts to $2,000 now, and e debtor can pay. I have written to m to pay or the mortgage will be reclosed. But I have yielded for tree years, "The mine owners and operators ive not yet made concessions. Why W't they make concessions? They Ill be stronger afterward In their con ousness of right. If nothing comes a conference with the strikers, It ill be time to invoke the law. In atters of this sort we haven't to con der public clamor. We have to con der only what is right. "Do you know what embassador of ie patricians to the plebelans told iem a fable and won them with Its oral?" Mr. Sage asked. "Yes, Mene us Agrippa," he assented. Continuing, said: "His fable was that the stom Mh refused to work for the limbs, and e limbs retaliated by refusing to feed e stomach. Limbs and stomach suf red atrociously, did they not? And en there was death. The American is done all that one could ask of it bring the strike to an end, and it ight do nothing better than repeat tat moral often." VELTY. IN NEWSPAPERS. urnal For fieggars ad some of Its Innovations in journalism are not nmerally looked for In Europe, but aris of late has been doing a few ings In that line which have been stinctly new. The latest,~ according the New York Times, Is a journal r beggars, which has been started r the purpose of disseminating use II informat'ona among the mendicant aternity and the price of which is 5 nts a copy. At a glance it would em as If this charge was rather high, mnaiderng the supposed straltened ans of its readers, but presumably eO editors know what they are about. The advertisements furnish interest g reading for beggars temporarily it of a job, though it is dificult to un rstand how' the advertiser could ex ct to receive an answer to the fox wing: "Wanted.-A blind man who can ay the flute a little." Probably some unfortunate dumb an will tell his blind confrere of the icancy. Here is another sample of an adver sed vacancy which requires awkward salifcations: "Wanted.-A lame man for the sea de. One without a right arm pre ~rred." In addition to "ads." of this kind no ces of forthcoming christenings, urials and birthdays of rich people re pirinted, so that the beggar may now whei'e to go to prosecute his ye ition with success. Evidently the 'de of mendicancy is established on good business basis in the French ipital, and New York is not the only ity with a "beggars' trust." Electric Shoeks Can't XII mim. George W.
