Gkeknwood. s. O., Feb. 2,1^92. There l:; a noticeable dearth of news in town this wi-ek. The flying trapeze left for Newberry Monday. An election for the bonding of the town for SS.000 for graded schools was unanimous for bonds. Cards arc out for the marriage in Orangeburg of lte v. John McLees and Miss Cornelson on the 3rd iuxiant. They will leave at once for a four months tour on the coutinent mid Holy Land. Messrs. R G. and R. A.

Snead requesis the statement that their mantua making room will not be closed, but open at all tunes for their customers. Front the pinnacle of the Baptist Oplianage one has a fine view of Greenwood and sur I rounding country. During all I tie war talk there were many of us who didn't lee) at all Clilie. but quite comfortable in poor homes. In fact, the darker the clouds grew the more cheerful and attractive our homes soomeit to b;>. None of us are members of the Maxwell Guaids. It has been suggested to me that some tinner might.get beside himself?above his business, because I stated that John Bunyan was a tinner. To avert, such a calamity 1 hasten lo remark that while the old man may have continued busiuessat the sameold stand, as soon as John become to oe a gentleman he quit It. Mr. Mo?elev, policeman elect, has taken charge and seems perfectly at home. A primary for (he election of a trial Justice here has been ordered for the 10th of frcbrua ry. .now mai we me ujiiii nnvc u?uitocYery?>o<ly should and doubtless will be satisfied with the result. Speaking Tor myselt, I will say that I will accept defeat gracefully?Just what I will do tor State officers, If nominated by direct primary. It cannot be doubted that a good mineral spring is a great addition to the upbuilding of a town. In fact, many towns have been built up with no other natural advantage. There is within the corporate limits of Greenwood what seems to be a very valuable one. So sure is Mr. Blake on whose land the spring Is, of the efficacy of the water, that he has undergone a heavy expense In improving the grounds and having the water analyzed. The analysis given by thestate Chemist contains: Sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, lithium carbonate, calcium ca. bonate, magnesium carbonate, potassium sulphate, sodium chloride, iron carbonate, iron oxide, inancanese oxide, alumina, silica, cobalt. The Doctors pronounce this as fine a combination ol elements as can be found. News reaches me that one of the most protuincut Tillmanites last campaign has named a recent addition to h!s lamily circle .Joseph Kaile. His home is near Chappell'a, Newbeiry county. This is all I am at liberty to state. Rev. Mr. Jacobs, of Clinton Orphanage, was in town Sunday and preached in the Pnesbyterian church. A vague rumor reaches us that our townsmen Messrs. S. B. and U. C. Hodges and A. St. Clair Lee are to realize a nice little fortune irom their phosphate interest In Florida. As soon as the main building of the Orphanage Is done work will be commenced on twoor more brick buildings, so that by midsummer anyhow 76 to 100 cnildren can be accommodated. Messrs. R. S. Sparkman and D. C. DuPre are tne nl in rods of town. Judge Hudson had quite a number of mishaps on leaving Abbeville last Saturday eveulnir. He lett his dress hat at the hotel, which the landlord sent to the train In time; the hackmnn charged him 50cents wheD it should have been 25 cents. On boarding the train he left his umbrella in the waiting room. He '.-ailed and paid the agent for a ticket, to Columbia, but the conductor on the tniiin line informed him that it was good only to Ureen wood. He proffered to pay the difference, and not hearing anything to the contrary 1 suppose he reached Columbia in sa.'ety. Mr. and Mrs. Sn#*ad now occupy rooms over Miller & Harber's furniture store. A lar?e number of negroes have been arrested during the past week for selling whiskey. In almost every case they were bound over to Court. J do not desire to shield the guilty, they should be punished, but it is a very profitable business for witnesses and constables to attend Court, hence it is a great Incentive to negroes and unscrupulous white ciien to work up cases against innocent negroes. There are but two of us. my brother and I. He is a red-hot prohibltiouist, almost extremely so. I consider legislative prohibition at least debatable. About the only similarity Is in our initials, both containing a "J." Because of this a letter from a prominent Distilling Company, evidently intended for me, was addressed to him. The letter opened with the statement: "We are informed that it is difficult to procure good pure liquor iu your town, even at enormous prices." It then proceeds t o offer him their "celebrated pure double copper distilled six years old whiskey, made lrom the choicest grain lor S3 pel gallon. They make him a less price in ciub lots. As a still further Inducement they oiler to ship in a box, "wired and sealed up, with no murk or brand, so no one will know what the box contains." They have got the business of a "dry town" down "pal,".but have mistaken their customer. At thls.wrltlng I have only heard of two probable candidates for trial justice?Major John R. Moore and Captain Kerr. Mr. Moore uao p^iiipfa i tv/wt uu ipto auu w vuv * ? vu ? from the Democracy in tills county than auy man In It. Herhas never In my knowledge asked for office. He did accept a trial Justiceship alter It had been pres.-ed on him. tie made a good one. and his hooks were always in order and before the grand jury at the proper time. Very lew, if any, ol his decisions were ever reversed. This is sufficient recommendation, hut the people owe him a debt of gratitude they can never pay. Although exempt by law he enlisted under the Confederate flag, shouldered his nmket aud went to the front at the commencement of the war and remained there until its close. All agree that there was no truer, braver soldier lu Kershaw's Brigade than Capt. John K. Moore. He has always been a conservative and uncompromising Democrat. Because of his conspicuous advocacy and leadership for good government?Democratic supremacy ? iu TO, the incendiary's torch was applied to his house and In one short hour he and his large family of small children were made homeless. Such is a brief and imperfect outline of the career of one of the candidates for our suffrages. Captain Kerr is also eminently qualified for the duties of the office, having held the office of Clerk of Court of Fairfield county lor several years. He was also a Confederate soldier having lostan arm in the service. He is comparatively a stranger here, but is thoroughly identified with us. His home and a considerable amount of his property is here. He Impresses every one us being a high-toned Christian gentleman, for whom any man can well afford to cast his ballot. Tl^ro ?ll.^ 1 l.l? + If T knew of them now I would willingly put their claims before the people. I overheard a negro, who bad evidently had considerable experience on the witness stand, drilling another negro how to act when he went on it. Said he, "You must not getexcitcd; you must tell the same tale every time; you must not talk too fast, and keep your eye on the lawyer that's asking you questions; don't pay any attention to the Judge, nor anybody el>e; they wont hurt you, but If that lawyer catches you napping lie will make you tell fifty lies before you know it. You will get to telling them so fast that the Judge will Just look at you a little while over his spectacles, and he will say, 'Mr. Sheriff, take chur^e of this witness," and off you go to jail. Mr. I). A. P. Jordan, among the politest ol men, lias been in town-for several days, when be meets you on the street he seems to recognize tbat he is passing a human being and not a stump. 8.

Serve hot. One of the best ways to keep the boys on the farm is to send them oil* once in a while where they will get enlarged views of the world. One of the surest ways to uisgust tne boys witn the farm is to keep them on it from one year's er.d to the other, aud uever let them go to fairs, etc. A tablespoonful of black pepper stirred in the first water in which gray or bufflinens are waahed prevent the col! ors from running or having the articles clouded or faded. Black pepper j will also prevent the color from "runjning" in black or dark-colored hosiery, : calicoes, or cambrics, and also from staining the skin. The pepper will not injure the soap-suds in which they are to be washed. To cleau gold jewelry with the stones in, wash in warm suds made of fine soap, with ten or fifteen drops of salvolatine in it.

Some Practical Experiments Which Nhow It* Valuable Properties. Greenwood Observer. During the fall and winter Dr. Milhvee has made some interesting and valuable experiments in feeding with cotton seed meal and hulls. Wishing to test the true fattening qualities of the meal, groat care has been used to obtain the most authentic and accurate results. The experiments were made ou seven steers and two cows, these cattle being fed five pounds of meal and one bushel of hulls each daily. Under these conditions the following results have been obtained : In 28 days one steer gained 190 lbs In 38 days another gained 185 lbs In 19 days another gained 105 lbs In 21 days another gained...: 100 lbs In 18 days one cow gained 00 lbs In 23 days another cow 120 lb* Tlinso nrn sliirt.l in<r fi (Mires and well worth the consideration of every man who has a head of stock to feed. It is an admitted fact that cattle cannot subsist off of the green seed alone. Farmers lind it necessary to feed some long food in connection with them, yet here are cattle not only subsisting but fattening with marvelous rapidity off nothing but the products of the green seed. The increased value of tlie seed necessarilj' must originate in the cooking. We have here at our own doors a food for cattle second to none. It literally costs us nothing, and there is no reason why we should not raise and fatten every pound of beef consumed in this country. Yet a large majority of the meal made by our mills is shipped to the Xorth and West, where it is fed to the meat of which we will buy next fall. I)r. Mill wee has just tilled an order for 100 tons of meal, sixty of which go to Lynn, Mass. The Massachusetts man has to pay ?rt.4() per ton more for his meal than our farmers could get it for, vpf. tin fiiirlvi it lirntttnhln to buv it. The farmer who takes a ton of seed to ihe mill receives back the exact equivalent weight in meal and hulls?seven hundred pounds meal and 1,300 pounds hulls, or food for one steer for between four and five months. Certainly sufficient to put him in first class order. ?> When suffering from overstrained and tired eyes, bathe them in hot water several times a day. A little kerosene oil rubbed briskly over the spots on dark clothing, will brighten the garments and remove the stains almost like magic. Broyled Oysters.?Drain the oysters and lay them on a clean towel. Salt and pepper th?m. Dip each oyster in beaten egg, then roll|in cracker crumbs; lay the oysters on the broiler and place over a quick fire. When done lay I them on a warm platter, and pour ovier each oue a little melted butter. Squeeze a lemon over them and serve.
