one of the fairest comities in the State.
Ix our humble opinion the bill introduced
into Congress to make the
government advance money in a de
posit of potatoes at the rate of a dollar
a bushel, is running the thing into the
around.
N. With all of Iijgall's poIitjxuiL^Uu^-and
spite of his

ofthe Union army and his last political

despite it all, hejn defeated. The

It was a choice bcN^een a force
bill and a world's fair. Many State
- V
Legislature* passed ieso!utions\n.?vQte?ting
against the bill and threatening
in the event of the passage of the bill
to withdraw all support from the
World's Fair. It is worth noticing
that many Republicans joiued ia the
sentiment, and the result is that the
force bill and cloture are dead.
The dedication of ex-Adjutant Gen??ril
Bonhatn was a matter of extreme
regiet and mortification to the very
many who knew him in these parts,
and they all rejoice that the matter
has been settled. Governor Tillman
acted in a very cousm>raie manner
throughout, and the neeu for General
Eonhain's reply to the letter giving bim
permission to lenve the State, was not
to be seen.
The Democratic party is stronger
to-day than it has been for fifty years
and it is growing in strength daily.
Its leaders are stronger than at any
time since the days of Calhoun, a
mighty press is behind it and the
popular favor is for ir. Let its old

"but lets all join hands in the movement
that is to free our country from
the money power in the next campaign.
We understand that Mrs. Boylston
has sold her property at the falls
lor $50,000. This was done on the
prospsct of a railroad being built to
the falls. Let a railroad be built to
other parts of the county and all of the
lands in Fairfield will go up proportionately.
Fairfield has always
been noted fur the strength and natural
fertility of her land?, with railroad
j'aciliiies these lands will briiij; their
real price, much above that of the
Jand< in neighboring counties.
The death of Secretary Wiudom at
the clo*e of a speech at a great banquet
is ene of these terrible dramatic
scenes that happily do not occur often.
The excitement of the brilliant occasion
was. too much for an elderly
raan suitenng lrom organic neari disease.
Fortunately in these enlightened
days the true cause of his death
vrill not be doubted. Had Secretary
"Windom lived in the days of early
England or of Medea?va! Europe, his
Midden death would have been attributed
by the ignorant people to the
fleets ol some t-ubtle poison administered
by an enemy. It is a matter of
curious speculation whether the srreat;
men of the past who died under I
similar circumstauccs were really the !
Mibj<?ct$ of a providential stroke, or!
the victims of secret assassination.
A sTiuKixc instance of the humor- i
tality of life i.< given by the time in the !
affairs of "Oid Ilutch," the one time i
? Chicago wheat king, and Senator In- j
galls. On this subject the Greenville j
JYfws savs:
*
Only a year ago "Ola Hatch," king j
of the Chicago wheat pit, was one of ,
the richest and most powerful and j
feared men in the country and J. J. ;
Ingalls was leader of the Senate, in the |
line for the presidency and counted the {
strongest man in public life.
"Old Hutch" is a beaten, broken, j
shabby old man, the sport of the bro- j
kers and in a fair way to be put. in the J
keeping of a trustee that something:
may be saved of the remnant of his I
fortune for the support of his family; i
Iugalls i? an unsuccessful aiul rejected ;
politician, kicked out of the Senate into
private life and succeeded by a man of
ivhom nobody ever heard before.
The moral of which is d?n*t name ;
your baby after any man until lie has i
been dead a hundred years and the
historians have finished the dissection ;
of his life and character; and don't i
envy any man until he lias had a gen- j
teel and respectably attended funeral? <
not then unless you are pretty certain
k which route he has taken in his journey
IV into the great hereafter.

able to refund United States bonds on
vt-rv fnvoiablt; terms. His manage
(>t the Treasury during Harrison's
adn'iini.-tration has been quite satisfactory.
The secretary was opposed
to tiie free coinage of silver., but advocated
instead the free deposit o' >:lver
bullion in the United State? treasury
and receipt of money therefor amounting
to the actual market value of ihc
bullion. In this way he argued that
!*1.
silver conid be brotijrnt to a par ivuu
gold. if Mich a thing be possible rritli
out any undue gains to either silver
mines or the government. This plan
is much more conservative and much
more likely to rehabilitate silver than
the enforced purchase by th'j ?;M*ernment
of nil the oid spoons and buttered
silver teapots in the land at a. rate
much above their valin*. In those

A VISIT TO A Mi:\ICAS SILVIill

i During ti:e ?ummcr of ?8S a pa:\y ot
i three, cuiiiloved en the Mexican Xai
*
tion?.l liuiiway, puiil :i flying vMt to a
i silver mine and mining town in the
j interior of Mexico. To the left ot the
M. X. Jiy. going s-uuih -SO miles from
Loredo, Texas, and about 10 miles
' from the road in the Sari Luis, I'otasi,
is Catorce, a city of 12,000 inhabitants,
.' situated 0:1 the summit of u mountain
; and supported principally by I he
; numerous mines in mc vicmuv. i:iu
I ciiy derives :ts name from having once
j been the stronghold of :i band of Imir!
teen robbers, bonce the name Catorce
i ? fourteen.
On the day our visit our parly
left catnp about ; ? o'clock. The only
i mode of conveyance io 'no ii:ul were
I burro?, the Mexican donkey. Altera
good deal of haggling in decidedly
bad Spanish wc made s bargain with 1
i tlie owner u: several ??f ii:?: aforesaid j
i beasts to take :ii to Catwrce and return !
for trcs The imrr.x were not
much larger than a yearling and as {

' that. Ii rtquired tiie patience ot Job i
' to sit quietly in t ie ftutdlc with the j
5 burros coming together hi a sort Of j
: collision on the narrow roiulwav, and i
the next moment brushing up a?ain.st
i i a huge cactus bristling with th*m*.
. ' At lust we are mounted and the bur,

' nrg?*d, torward by the Muchacho, who

j selves, bat despite our best cH'jrts> the
t { burros would stand flock still in tho
i road and appeared to be K si in
| deep thought. The sun is just look
i ingr over (ho mountains and in the r^sy
5 { mornii!^ light the scene is lovely, the
j i lofty mount::!::* melting away int c
J hit: in the distance, thr? shady valleys

1 ! dark am! gloomy mountain ofCatoreo
^ . directly opposite with it- cro?rii of
! I silver as the sun amies up Irmn be*

s} As we ride along through the musviquite
and csctu? across itie plains,
I stearins up the jack rabbits and coy
otesV it is a most novel and pleasing
situatitep were it nor for the agony
produced \bv our s:uldk*s. It. is live
miles to ufoiw base of tlie 'mountain.
' j Arriving there ws^move around to the
: ' right until we cotneX^o an opening in
; | t!ie mountain as liioii^UJt nad been
' j cleft from top to bottom brVyi cartlj!!
quake. At iiie entrance of UnXc^1*
' | yon we lind a pretty liitie town. TfiTi^
f if? irit Catorce, and it is the most
t ! picturesque place imaginable, built as
. it is on boih siiles of iho Utile valley.
: The house-, bri !<*es, etc.. have ttie
' : appearance of having beet; placed
i ' there by volcanic action without regard
I i t? symmetry. Under a tres by t!:c
. roadside a woman nas pulque in jars
; for sale. As we have ridden some
> I distance and the weather is warm, fee!
. ' thirsty, so we slop and refresh our(j
selves with a mug of ilie national
! Iionuvn/rn A ( ] a i- o <r/,?wi n f' willil.
? j ^ \tvwi w? M J..'?
' it;g about wc leave the town and coinj
mence the accent. The road up the
| mountain is plastered up airainst the
; side as a mud mason builds it> west.
| In some places it is \err steep, fully
j forty-flrc per cent grade. Here our
: burros are unable to carry u?, so we
i dismount and proceed on loot, leaving
I them to fallow. The road zig zagged
i up the mountain all the way 10 the
! top and was n;cely paved. At difterj
ent points along the route we ?top to
t : resiand enjoy the view, amusing onr>
j solve* by throwing rocks ovej the
> Tvall ihat skirted the roadway and
watching them a* they <;o bounding
' down the >i<!e of the gorge like a thing
' of life nnlii they disappear from sight".
I While sitting on a lodge resting a
: stone drops near us t!:ui *cems to come
f:om overhead. Looking up v.-e arc sur!
priced to see n herd of goats jt:?t above
j on apart of the mountain almost per,
j pendienlar. Some of tneni are stand
i nisr on overhanging rocks and eating
'! the herbage from around thorn. It
I i was easy to see where the stone that
.; startled us came from, us the goats in
. i leaping from place to place would dis'
j ledge a stone that would continue to
1 j roll until stopped by the roadway. At
j last we are at the summit and in front
of us hemmed around by tail peaks,
, I the white houses glistening in the
j morning sun and the immense dome ?f
' I the cathedral rising from the centre of
1 j the town, is Catoree, our destination.
A babbath-iike stillness hangs over tlie
; town, for voa must know ;he whole
i city does not contain a vehicle of any
i description. Ever) thing is packed on
| the backs of burros: even the dead
| are conveyed !? their last resting place
' ou the backs ol the patient little aniJ
main. Beside.-; there are no manu|
factories belching out smoke and disj
turbing the stillness with the din of
; their machine!y. Tlis majority of the
I male population arc einpleyed in the
I mines and consequently the town has
a deserted appearance during1 working
: hours. Before we enter t'ie Iowa we
j turn to look behind u> ?t the prospect

FARMERS OF FAIRFIELD! !

BEAIi SIRS: "\Vc have bought the plant of the Winusboro Oii and Ferti.'i-i
zo r Co., which wo propose to operate in the interest of the farmers of Fairfield, i
Co&on seed oil is a product of the Southern farm which, from its Yaiuabic
properties ami the various uses to which it can be put, must ultimately increase
the income of the farmer who raises the seed and the manufacturer who
crashes them. At present, however, the price of oi! is so low that its production
is hardly profitable and we cannot offer you a big price for your seed. We
bought all the .-ced the Winnsboro (). & F. Co. had on hand, about 100 tons,
and will begin '.his week to work them up. While doing so we will continue
to buy ali rl:at. may be offered at prices we can afford to pay.
The good that we can do you by running the oil department of our plant is j
not entirely within our control as the price of seed depends principally on the :
price oi oil. Bur. there is another branch of our business over which we can j
exercise a greater control, which we know we can and will operate in your j
interest, and that is our fertilizer department. We propose to buy only the,1
best materials ::nd to manipulate the in so as to produce first, a .high grade for- i

special kinds ol' soir.. Ii you know the nature of your land and the kind of
fertilizer it require*, buy the goods we will put up for that kind of land, for
you will find tiieni to be what they are represented and as cheap a? such goods
can be bought. If yon do not know, come to us, tell us what, you can about
the nature of your-oil, the kind of crops you have been raining, the kind of

We want lo co-operate with yott and from year to year manufacture and furnish
you such fertilizers as you will need and of course, for it is a matter ot
common sense, sell you goods that you arill find to be of superior quality,
cheap and therefore profitable for vou to buy. We wont to build up a trade
and keep it by selling you such goods aud at s?eb price* ns will enable you to

3?EW BmRTURS.
January 1st, 1891.
Fifteen years ago I inaugurated, at
Batesburcrj S. C., what I termed the
Club System, dealing directly -with i
the farmers through Club-, supplying A
them with fertilizers at boitom price S7
and discounting their paper at Banks, A
-Poi.rvirt,. fVin vrviflv nash to do Km
ulw xmi uiv/i mv ? vmmj ??,? ?
business 011, thus saving them the H
enormous prolits paid on the old-time H
system. My business has steadily increased
every day under this plan, and
1 now have Clubs scattered throughout
the State. In order to facilitate
growing business, I have found
necessary to open up a business
Columbia, S. C.. where I can readi^^^^^D
reach every portion of the State.
I might serve my customers, meeti^^H^Hj
their wants on as low basis as they
1 buy anywhere, in company with a
cr>i;,i irinn. we haveorarani^fl
at Columbia, S. C., the Globe Pflj
phate Company, with a Capital
of $50,000. which will aMNNitfH

J parsedOur works will
j ?V^&?uble trackage on either side,
^drawe con handle from twenty-fire to
thirty-fire cai*s without shifting; this
i will enable us to ship out our goods
with promptness. We will be connected
by rail with Southern ports,
and Ave have direct water connections
by way of old- Granby on the Conga
vee with the Phosphate beds
which will enable us to land our
rnr-k at, our works at about the same
price as most of the Charleston companies
pay. Situated as we are 130 jj
miles in the interior, the bi" saving in
freights will give us a decided advan- m
Lige over .the ports. Our machinery
aiicl works are of the latest and most Jjj
improved pattern. The large expert"
euce of our Superintendent. Dr. T*. C.
Robertson, who lias built one other
factory?the Columbia Phosphate
Company's works?wan-ants us in say
ing no Phosphate works in the country
will be better equipped for business
than the Globe Phosphate Company.
N ltn orana new woi'Ks, urunu new
goods, and having officers at its head
who have had fifteen to twenty years'
experience in the fertilizer business,
we can confidently hope to win the
success our efforts merit.
