W. S. Spearman, near Silver Street
sowed a new variety of wheat this year
on three acres of land. He harvested
14S dozen bundles and threshed 80
bushels. And yet there are people in
this country who say we can't make
wheat. This is a good crop and we
would like for Mr. Spearman to tell us
how be cultivated it, and how much
and what kind of fertilizer be used
and whether he thinks it was the kind
of wheat planted that made the yield.
The farmers of this country must make
more of their own flour, and such
yields as this will encourage them to
do it.-Newberry Herald and News.

MR. SHEPPARD ANNOUNCES
His Intention to Stand for tue
State Senate atad, incidentally,
Touches* Upon Other Matters
Pertinent.
MR. EDITOR : I have been impor
tuned by a number of citizens of Edge
field county to become a candidate for
the State Senate to fill the vacancy
that was occasioned by the resignation
of Senator Gaines. I have-hesitated to
respond to this urgent request, for the
reason that my professional and busi
ness engagements are abundantly suf
ficient to interest my attention and
consume my time. I have postponed a
final decision upon the matter, until I
received ? communication signed by a
number of gentlemen, in which they
say :
"We, the undersigned citizens of
Edgefield couuty, knowingthe valua
ble services of the Hon. John C. Shep
pard in the service of our county and
State in the past, do hereby most re
spectfully and urgently request him to
allow his name to go before the voters
of Edgefield county in the coming pri
mary election to serve said county in
the State Senate, and we hereby pledge
him our support in said primary."'
Remembering with gratitude the
partiality which the people of Edge
field have manifested towards me in
the past, and the generosity with
which they combined to promote my
aspirations and advance my political
and other interests, I do not conceive
that I have the right to hesitate any
longer, but must yield my personal in
clinations to this call to duty.
You are, therefore, authorized to an
nounce that I am a candidate for the
State Senate, subject to the action of
the primary election.
It will be a great pleasure to me to
appear at the meetings to be appointed
by the executive committee and dis
cuss the issues now existing, or that
may arise, in connection with the pres.
ent campaign.
Before closing, I desire to make a
specific and definite statement in refer
ence to a matter of importance, and of
recent occurrence, in which the people
of Pickens and Wise Townships are
especially interested.
The people of these townships voted
for bonds in aid of the Augusta. Edge
field and Newberry Railroad; these
bonds were authorized upon the con
dition that they were not to be payable
until the road should be completed
through the townships, respectively.
The road has not only nut been com
pleted, but on thc, contrary has been
I abandoned. Therefore, it will be mani
fest injustice if the people shall be
required to pay these bonds. Unfortu
nately, the condition was not written
upon the face of the bonds,so as to carry
notice to the holders thereof, that they
will not constitute valid claims against
the townships unless the road should
be completed.
The failure to write the condition
upon the face of the bonds will, in my
apprehension, make it difficult, if not
.Impossible, to resist their payment
successfully in the United^ States
Courts. Hence I expressed the opin
ion. in a meeting of the citizens of
Pickens Township, that it wouid be
better to compromise the debt upon
the basia of fifty cents ?2 the dol?an
rather than run the risk of being forced
to pay the whole amount, together
with the expense that will be incident
to the litigation. But the people of
Pickens Township, at a special elec
tion ordered for that purpose, voted,
by a large majority, to resist the pay
ment of these bonds to the last ex_
tremity of the law. It will be my duty,
and my pleasure, to do everything in
my power to promote the accomplish
ment of the purpose of the people to
defeat the payment of these bonds.
I, therefore, distinctly deciare that
my election to the State Senate will be
without comfort to the holders of these
bonds, and without prejudice to the
effort that will be made to have them
pronounced invalid.
Very respectfully,
J. C. SHEPPARD.

For June, 1898, 2.29 inches
Average for June for six years

Average of first 5 months for five

The State campaign has now
commenced, and we sincerely
sincerely trust that it will be
conducted upon a higher plane of
morals than some witnessed in the
recent past. There is no need to
iuaugurate a systerniof bitterness
or to inject personalities into the
discussions, and should it begin
the people ought to stay away
from the meetings. We are
entering upon a new and better
era. The passions of the past
have been almost wholly obliterat
ed and it is only a crank now and
then who is kicking.-Anderson
Intelligencer.
Gen. Miles announces that he
expect to go to Santiago or to
Porto Rico, but he cannot now
say when. We suppose it will be
some time after these places
are captured by the American
troops, when things will have had
ample time to cool down. In the
mean time the valiant general will
probably fly to and fro between
Washington aud Tampa in his
palace car and continue to fight
great battles on paper. When this
war shall have had time to test the
abilities of military leaders, it is
our opinion that General Miles
will be laid on the shelf and* re
membered only as the persecutor
of Jeff Dav;s.-Lancaster Ledg?r,
