Coludibla, February 9.—Unlea*
amnethlng extraodioary occurs, the
members of the General Assembly will
tie at their homes some time on Wash
ington's Birthday. The House has al
ready adopted the Courtney resolution
providing for adjournment on the
tWnd, and, as a matter of fact, from
the present outlook that will be easy
of accomplUhment. The only import
ant measures that will need consider
ation will be the general appropriation
and supply bills, and these are not of
ten subject to hard fights. Tho ways
and means committee is giving the
situation most careful study, and Mr,
Dick, chairman of the committee, and
bis competent co-worker# are getting
everything in shipshape.
There is very little prospect of a de
layed adjournment, at least such is not
the prospect now, and such will not be
unless something bresks loose at the
last moment, and it will have to be en-
tlrelv unexpected.
BXTTKK WORK THAN WRaNGI.I.
Profiting by the experience of last
session, when members spent much of
their time wrangling over politics and
side Issues and the lack of wisdom In
drifting into fights, the members of the
House have about agr-ed that If others
want to do so thst they w ill attend to
their work and accomplish what thev
can for the good of the State and i|ult
at that There has been no open fric
tion, because it takes twobndief, one
ruhtung again-t the other, to create
friction, and the consensus of opinion
has tieen that It is better, perhaps, {••r
the common good to go out of the .\ay
rather than have an unseemly right
that will accomplish no mate.,at good,
ansi, father, that the people will in
'ime see w hat I* w hst
NO kro< It M 4 K I v*, Laws,
There la little likelihood of epoch-
making legislation, such as the paas-
age of a general prohtblton or dis|ien-
eary law, the repeal <•( the lien law or
anything of that nature, There will,
of course, be a aeries of Important
matters In fact. It la uncertain
whether any of the general measures
that have been passed hy the House

GOOD PROGRESS MADE
IN CROP PREPARATIONS
Mild Weather in January Greatly Facili
tated the Work of the Farmera
If all reports be true, a bumper crop
will be made in this county this year,
provided, of courge, that the seasons
are favorable. Farmers from different
part* of the county report splendid
progress In their preparations, as they
took advantage of the extremely mild
weather last month and “broke land
while the sun shone.”
We hope, however, that one report
is untrue, and that is. that the cotton
acreage will be increased this year.
We had hoped that the great progress
made in corn production would be an
incentive to the farmers to devote
more of their lands to the cultivation
of thi* crop. There Is an old saying
that “where corn is plentiful, hogs
come without calling.” The farmer
who has hU corn crib and his smoke
house well tilled is, to use a slang ex
pression. ‘ well heeled,” and has no
reason to fear a slump in the price of
the fleecy staple.

DeUila of Tragedy Meagre—News
Stagger* Whole Scientific World
News of the death of Capt Robert E.
Scott and his four brave companions,
who succeeded by a final dash in reach
ing the South Pole, only to find proofs
that Amundsen had forestalled them,
came in a brief dispatch from Lieut. G.
R. Evans, of the Royal navy, who was
second in command when the expedi
tion started, and who now signs as
commander of the expedition.
The message was signalled from the
Terra Nova, returning from the Ant
arctic regions, while passing Oamaru,
New Zealand.
The staggering effects of the news on
the public mind is all the greater, as it
was believed that modern science
and recent experience had completely
divested polar exploration of its former
terrors.
No detailed facts are yet known, hut
it is believed the records of the scien
tific material collected, together with
the explorers’ bodies, have been re
covered. It is also understood that
gallant attempts were made by other
members of the expedition to succor
the Scott party, but these were defeat
ed by sever! weather conditions and
lack of food.
It seems practically certain that the
explorers starved to death. The fact
that (’apt Amudsen reached his base
from the pule in IK) days, while the
Scott party had been travelling more
than two months when the disaster
overtook them, is h*-li< \ed to show that
Srott must have eithrr met some mis
fortune. possibly m a crevass, or en
countered a seccession of hli/z.ar(ls.
The fact that Petty Officer Evans died
from concussion of the brain as early
as February 17 seems to indicate some
such activity, possibly involving the
loss of a [portion of the equipment
Capt Oates died on March 17, which
clearly shows that the partv was in
dire straits and must have undergone
terrible suffering darings the remain
ing 1J days No news has been re
ceived as to how the fate of Capt Scott
and his companions was discovered,
hut it is assumed that a rescue partv
was dispatched from the base

Hi# Lair Waa Raided Saturday and
Resulted in a Water-haul of
Empties.
Capt, J. B. Morris captured a full
grown tiger Saturday afternoon and
brought him to Barnwell, where he
was lodged In the county jail. He was
of the “blind” species, and In his lair,
which was located on the Barnwell-
Blackville road, a short distance from
Ashley, the following evidence of his
means of livelihood was found: Piti
empty one-gallon glass jugs, 2 empty
demijohns, a large quantity of empty
quart, pint and half-pint whiskey
bottles, 4 full gallon-bottles, and a
funnel. Evans Brown is the name of
the ‘tiger” and his ancestors hail
from the jungles of Africa. While he
was being lodged in j&il, he handed
Capt, Morris a roll of f 10 and $20 bills
which amounted to the sum of $210, In
addition to a large amount of silver
money which he had In a hag. He
was released on bond. Evans is sup
posedly a plow-hand.
The Disposition of the Cottonseed.
It is now time to consider the ques
tion of fertilizers for the next crop.
In this connection the dlsjiosition of
the cottonseed Is important. The
farmer has a choice of u-lng them di
rectly as a fertilizer, after crushing
or rolling in acid phosphate to nrr-
vent germination, or to sell the seed or
exchange [hem lor cottonseed meal.
The writer notes from recent quota
tions that the pru e offered Is around
thirty-five cent* per bu-bel w hi. h cor
responds to i'A t3 per ton, while rot-
ion*eed meal 1* quoted about J27oo
per ton. Thi* gives a rate of exchange
of 172' pounds of meal f >r a ton of
seed. Lxperiments conducted at va

MEXICANS AGAIN IN
STATE OF REVOLT.
Falix Diax is Rwl—sed from Priaon and
Hoads Rebels.
According to reports received from
Mexico City, the neighboring republic
is being visited by another revolution,
under the leadership of Gen. Felix
Diaz, nephew of the deposed president,
Porfirio Diaz.
P'rancisco Madero, the present presi
dent, and his cabinet took refuge in
the National Palace, where they suc
ceeded in repulsing the attacks of the
revolutionists. On Monday it was re
ported that Madero had taken flight,
hut it appears that he was absent only
a short time. He is confident that the
government will triumph. Diaz is said
to be well supplied with money and
ammunition and is equally confident of
the success of the revolt.
The policy of the United States is
now, as it has been in the revolutions
of the past few years, “hands off.”
However, battleships have been or
dered to Mexican waters to afford ref
uge forf oreigners and to observe andre-
port upon conditions as they develop.
The opinion prevails in official cir
cles that this last storm which has
broken over Mexico will lie followed
hy the restoration of a permanent
stable government. If Madero tri
umphs he will he so strong as to he
able to make short work of the small
er revolts dragging on in outlying
portions of the country. If Diaz suc-
! ceeds in getting controie of the fortress
of Chapultepec overlooking the City of
Mexico, either he would tie joined bv
the leaders of relxillion in the north and
* south or he m a |>osition to tom[>el their
surrender in short order.

WHITE MAN ARRESTED
ON A SERIOUS CHARGE
C. L Elliott Wa. Lodfod im Jail Swrarwl
| Days Ago.
C. L. Elliot, a white man about 3*
