thermometer and reported three de
grees below zero. Then he remarked :
. "That breaks all previous records
in this section."
"For how long ?" the reporter asked.
"As far back as I have any knowledge?45
years, at least."
"Wbat is the lowest point previously
registered ?" J
"Years ago, an ordinary thermometer
tbat I then bad in my possession
registered two degrees below zero.
But I am satisfied that the thermometer
wm not correct. It may have been
colder or net quite so cold. I am satisfied,
though, it was not as cold as it
is now."
"Then there is no question as to the
correctness of your government thermometer
?"
"No, it is oorrect; or at least I am
able to determine the exact temperature
from it. It now registers fi ve degrees
below zero; but on account of a
fault in the placing of the glass to the
scale, this means an error of two degrees.
I have made allowance for
this error."
"And what about the snow fall of
Saturday and Sunday. How deep
was it?"
"I measured very carefully in a
dozen or more places, and from these
measurements I calculate that the
depth was exaetly 8 inches. Melted,
it amounted to thirty-six one-hundredthsof
an inch."
The total rainfall during January,
according to Mr. Schorb's very accurate
record, was 5.01 inches ; and during
Fftbruarv. ud to and including the
snow fall of Saturday and Sunday, was
4.69 inches.

from Mr. J. H. Riddle the handsome
cottage on King's Mountain street, in
which the doctor has been living since
the cottage was erected. The transfer
was made on last Saturday.
Star Route Service Tied Up.
As the result of the snow and freezeup
there have been no star route mails
in or out of Yorkville this week. The
riders failed to show up on Monday
and again on yesterday. As to whether
or not they will report for duty this
morning, of course, is only a matter
of possibility.

Messrs. Witherspoon & Spencer, representing
citizens of Rock Hill, have
commenced a suit to test the legality
of the recent action of the city council
in granting a 25-year franchise iu
connection with the water plant that is
in contemplation in Rock Hill. The
suit is of a friendly nature; but it is
intended, hurt or help, to establish the
law. The reporter understands that I
no animosities or conflicting private
interests are involved.

The time in which tax returns may
be made without penalty expires next

Knifed la the Dark.
Charlotte Observer, Sunday : Last

Mr. Shuman's store, near Atherton,
and asked him to 'phone for a doctor
and the police, that they had been
assaulted and cut by unknown parties
uear the Atherton mill. The blood
was flowing freely from one man's face
and arm, and from the other's wrist.
Mr. Shuman 'phoued Chief Orr at
once. A carriage was sent for them
and they were brought to police headquarters.
On being interrogated they
gave their names as Will McCoy and
C. A. Nevin, of Fort Mill, S. C. They

Mr. McDow Misquoted.
Mr. McDow was misquoted io our '
report of tbe legislative proceedings
last Saturday. That portiou of tbe i
report was extracted verbatim from '
the Columbia correspondence of The 1
News and Courier. Mr. Kobn has 1
made tbe correction in bis paper. ,
Here is tbe way he fixes it: "In my ,
report of yesterday's proceedings, rel- ;
ative to tbe South Carolina college '
appropriation, tbe wires, or somebody '
else, made a mistake. Mr. McDow, of
York, asked the question of Mr. Blease r
as to Dr. Carlisle's salary, and what
came in tbe way of debate should <
have been credited to Mr. Blease. <
Mr. McDow favored tbe committee's '
suggestion of $27,500 for the South '
Carolina college, and is one of tbe (
warmest friends of that and all state (
oolleges. Mr. Blease, and not Mr. f
McDow, wanted to provide for reduc- '
ing and fixing tbe professor's and pres- '
ident's salary." 11
Advantage of Good Roads.
Messrs. John F. aod VV. S. Gordon
sold Mr. J. H. Riddle a big lot of cotton
seed recently, and during the past
few days they have been making delivery.
The Messrs. Gordon live out
on the Charlotte road, about 4} miles
from town, and they have been hauling
these seed at the rate of something
like 8,500 poands to the. load.
One load weighed exactly 3,365 pounds.
They used four mules; but Mr. John
F. Gordon remarked that he could
have easily done the work with three.
The point in the incident is the fact
that it was possible to deliver the seed
at all. Any other farmer, on any ot her
road, the same distance from Yorkville,
could not have made delivery at
less than 50 per cent, more thau the
cost to the Messrs. Gordon. Two
years ago, at this season, the Messrs.
Gordon could not have undertaken to
deliver the same amount of seed at 50
per cent, advance on the then market
price. Good roads evidently pay.
MILES ON THE NEW ARMY.
-Tbilisi There Should Be 75,000 Hen With

~ 1 J?..
tienerai i>J.lies appeareu uuc u?j iaa?
week before the sub-committee of the
senate committee on military affairs,
which has the army reorganization bill
under consideration. He suggested
that, in view of the probability that
the reorganization bill could uot get
through this session, a temporary substitute
should be provided for the
maintenance of the army on its present
basis until the next session of congress.
General Miles also made several
recommendations bearing upou
the general bill; but these were largely
aloug the lines of suggestions made
by him which have already been given
to the public. Oue of the recommendations
which he repeated was for
the organization of the army upou the
basis of one soldier for every 1,000 of
the population of the Uuited States
proper, and for every 500 of those occupying
outside possessions.'
The sub-committee has practically
abandoned all idea of attempting to
revive the grade of lieuteuaut geueral
of the army because of the controversies
existing among the officers of the
army of high rauk.
General Miles said that be had made
a calculation showing that upou his estimate
the army would uumber about
75,000 meD. He thought we should

would give too many meu to the

army.
SMALLPOX IN GEORGIA.
The Disease Is of the Usual Mild Type
and Not Dangerous.
Dr. C. P. Wertenbaker, surgeon
United States Marine Hospital service,
who came to Atlanta several days ago
at the request of Governor Candler,
has returned to the city after au investigation
of the smallpox in several
counties of the state, says an Atlanta
dispatch of Friday. Dr. Wertenbaker
reports that the disease in the counties
visited is very light and can be
easily stamped out. He left touight
for other counties, where the pest is
reported. Dr. Werteubaker said :
"Smallpox that I have found this
time in Georgia is very mild. Many
have it in this mild type and don't
know what is the matter with them.
I would prefer that the type be a little
mnwi mali?i!?nt nail, unnld then make

tlie patient sick enough to go to bed
and we could stamp out the epidemic
easier.
"The disease is everywhere throughout
the United States. It is just as
prevalent iu summer as winter. We
hear of more cases in the winter and
i during the cold season because the people
stay closer together in the winter
and live in houses that are much closer
, than in summer.
Governor Candler today sent a circular
letter to the health authorities of
every county in the state making inquiries
as to the existence of smallpox
or suspicious sicknesses, which showed
> a teudency to develop that disease.
MERE-MENTION.

Private Takes Revenge.
Columbia correspondence News and
Courier, Saturday : A telegram was
received yesterday by an olficer of the
Second Tenuessee regiment, stating
that Frist Sergeant W. J. Hancker,
company C, of Memphis, had been
shot by a private formerly of bis com
pany, whose name has uot been learned.
It seems that this private hud an
old grudge against Hancker, and had
threatened to kill him after the muster
out. A general fight was started on
the train, and this private, taking ad
vantage of the opportunity, shot the
sergeant three times in the head. He
was instantly killed by the first shot.
After the shooting the prviate pulled
the bell cord, and when the train
slowed up jumped off and ran. It
is rumored that he came back to
Columbia; but this is oot probable.
The sergeant is spoken of by his superior
officers as a quiet and inoffensive
man. It is not known exactly where
the shooting occurred; but it is supposed
to have been done between here
and Augusta, on the South Carolina
and Georgia special, which left here
Wednesday night.

preparations for the court of inquiry
into General Miles's charges concerning
the character of the army beef are
being pushed at the war department
with the greatest expedition. It is
stated at army headquarters that all
the information General Miles had obtained
from officers' reports and other
sources on the character of the meat,
had been transmitted to the war investigation
commission before that
body adjourned. From the commission
it was returned to the war department
and thence will be transmitted
to the court of inquiry.
Colonel George B. Davis, the judge
advocate of the court, was at the war
department today, making preparations
for the session of the court, ami
later in the day went to the agricui
tural department, where the analysis
of the army meat were made, to look
into that end of the proceedings with
a view to determining how far the experts
of the department might aid the
court in thoroughly probing the matter
under consideration. General George

since it Is quite an important item with

AN IMPORTANT MATTER.
BEFORE deciding his course for next
season, the farmer will have many
matters to decide. Most of them will decide
to use Commercial Fertilizersof some
kind. If Fertilizers pay at all, (we think
they do) it will pay to use the best. His
time, labor and money are thrown away
if he uses poor Fertilizers. We sell WILnr?Y
OIRRKS /fr (!0_'S ponds?made in
Charleston. These people have the reputation
of using the best material in their
Fertilizers. We think we have contracted
for our Fertilizers at a price that will enable
us to sell at a price that will be to the
interest of the farmers to buy from us.
We will sell by the SACK, TON or CAR
LOAD. We have sold these goods for
three years and they have given universal
satisfaction. We can deliver at any station
on either railroad.
