A Woid is Season.?The r*4 Dee Index 9J
quotes M follows from the Cfcsraw Repmrter. \
We were pleased last week to see Captain
JameeO. Lidd, our former postmaster, la B
tow a. Captain Ladd has been keeping ?
books for a Chicago firm for the last year or
so. If Cheraw is to hare a change ef post- ?
master during the coming administration, ?
we fkel confuleut ih*t the people of Cheraw
would prefer Captain Ladd to any one else.
Thereon the Index saye:
Wp notice t{>at not a word, tare an al- fl
lusion to the Feasibility ofnt 'change,' in the
nMemnee ef the Report** refers- to -the tB- ?1
Wdsut gsutloman and good Democrat now
holding the office. Wi*.hcnt onee considering
the possibility and perhaps the probability
of the retention of efficient and non-par- ^
tisan office holders In the South by Harrison,
the editor begins losing the praises =
of Captain J. O. Ladd,' who for thirteen
years held office undsr the Republicans,
Many think H highly probable that Harrison
will attempt to break the solid Democratic
8outh by retaining the efficient Demo- c
erata in office, thus making thsse offices a
Irise to be songht, irrespective of party,
f this is to be his policy, it is undoubtedly | E
bad polioy for us to suggest or inaugurate j
in* removal or our owu men. In the case
in queation it dots not appear that Ladd has ,
even so much as asked for the place. Ha
wants a larger and swoeter plum than that, c
as shown by ths filing of his nomination far
United States Marshal for this State. It
may be well to warn our Democratic friends '
against signing any petitions for Republicans ,
to succeed Democrats. There are yet no
vacancies, ami there may be none, unless
our people giro excuse for them by petitions
praying for the appointment of Republicans
in place of Democrats already in office. I
Oar advice is to go slow until we know what ,
is to be the policy of the oemiqg adminiatra- (
or wke&or might is to rule right.
Whilst The Itroister d oes not think it worth
white for any Democrat to encourage the
hope of retaining office under Harrison, we
yet heartily agree with the Index that it
wears on its face an unseemly assiduity for
Democrats to be bringing their advice to the
new administration ss to the filling of the
places now held by good Democratic oilioials.

Homo M um Brooms.?There ia a successful
enterpriae on a moderate scale, now
being conducted in this country, of which
comparatively few people are aware. For
aome time past Mr. A. B. Bewden, of 1'endlelen
Township, has been raising broom
earn to a limited extent, but he found that
marketing the product was ratker unsatisfactory
and determined to pursue a different
policy. I.ast year ho bought a broom

for the planters lay in the perfection of

liven this frail hope-is new removed. From
New Ycrk comes the authoritative news
that the Standard Oil Company lias purchasad

The Snow Storm at the Seminary.
The snow was a most welcome visitor to
the pupils of Clifford Seminary. They
could not elaiin kinship with it, but they
were allowed, nevertheless, to receive it
with nriAn nrml 'IV lh?>n ????? V
from the lower section of tbo State such a
mow was a great' novelty; but they; -with /
ho othors, wero not slow ia finding out the
Measures of snow balling, and for an hour
>r two the fleecy missiles were flying through
he air, sometimes hitting, but eftenor missog
widely, the mark.
All scenod to enjoy the sport, excepting
me stately figure that became very conipieuous.
She stood quiet in the midst of
til the excitement; no challenge from large
>r small was accepted, and no shout ef joy '
:ould induce her'te take a hand in the fun.
She remained in quiet dignity, her shawl
bided closely around her, and her hat
irmly fixed en her head.
The irreverent small boy on the outside of
the fence threw snow balls at her, but she
did net reply by werd or ball. Seme
bought she was very indiscreet to be oat
n the snow in a white dress. Elderly genlemen,
who have long since passed the age
>f such fun as throwing snow, were glad te
tee one dignified youog lady in the crowd
tnd lifted their bats in appreciation of rare
txcellcncy. Young men returning home

tViucipal was in the liouss, and as shs did
lot turn her head she certainly did not dlstpproTS
of it. But evidently she enjoyed
he snow, for she was the list ous seen on
he campus, and the first one out next morn- ,
ng?in the same plaee, and with the same
iniet dignity?and there she is at the pree- (
mt writing, growing beautifully less, but
till there, for the snow woman has not yet
netted.
And so mischief, friendly interest, and
pprsciatisn and gallantory were all lest, as |
hey so sftsn are.

The biggest snow that has fallen for years
visited this county on Thursday last. It
measured about 12 inches dacp here, and
patches under the trees aad on steep northern
hillsides are still lingering, and perhaps
waiting for more. Sowing oats was
being pushed on very hard when the bad
weatbeer set in, but is now at a stand still.
The farming classes are determined te
lire more economical this year, if possible,
than aver. There is one item #f no small
importance, that every tiller ef the soil
ought te consider when he sets out to ass
economy; that is time, prtciotu time. We
have scan people who would split a trade
for a nickle, bat woald not hesitate to loa^
day after day, at the cross road store. That
is poor e^nroiry, in our judgment.
We are reliably informed that the hot
upper at New Hope Church wee a financial

seventy-five dollars. This amount goes
toward building a new house of worship at
that place. The Pastor in charge, Rev. D.
P. Boyd, is the chairman of the building
committee, whioh is a guarantee of its success.

There is a small farmer we have in eur

wears his Father's ceat, wears a pair of
shoes made about 20 years ago, b*> bought
only 2 saddles in bis life and has a hamper
basket that helped gather GO crepe of ootten
