For this much let the legis- ^ lature receive the commendation of the tax payers. I * * The Evening Post has undertaken : to reform municipal politics in the citv of Charleston, and has com- i Sfv* v ** % menced on the police force. We I hope it will succeed, but that newspaper has a large contract on its . hands. i *** We are glad that the wide tire bill < _ t- 1 4-1... I Hits at iasi* pitsaeu tuc oniitic, auu hope to see it adopted by the House. Senator May field spoke in favor of j the bill while it was uuder discus- j siou. The use of wide tires will < materially help the roads in this ( ! section and we cordially commend J the speech and vote of our Senator on this question. ] The idea of good roads is a grow- j ing one, and it gets much stronger , each year. Newspapers, officials, and j law-makers seem to have realized I the necessity of better highways, J and we believe in a few years from * now the public roads of South Car- j . olina will compare favorably with any State in the Union. Let the good work go on. J At its last meeting the Board of | -County Commissioners paid out 1 $101 for the services of "road over- j seers." The actual return to the * f county in competent services for ] this outlay would be represented by i the fractional part of a dollar. To 1 keep step with other States in the ' march for good roads, we must re- J form our whole system of road i building and road making, and above ' all do awav wifrh the "overseer." 1 Sg---. whose pay is out of all proportion J |1? to the service he renders. Judge Buchanan has received some rather harsh criticism from ] fe : the newspapers of the State on ac- } count of his having lectured the I? jury in the Meares case for not i v agreeing upon a verdict. The judge 1 was exactly right, and any man who has had any experience in the jury 1 |p|' room will be of the same opinion. Of course the fault is with the sysv tem to some extent after all. MajoriB ly verdicts should be lawful, and " we hope the legislature will enact 1 " such a law. As it is now one prejudic&l and stubborn man can put 1 - + . the State to the expense of a new P trial, and maybe in the end de- 1 feat justice. 1 * ? m x% * * i Our friends *in the lower part of r k;- . the county have had very poor mail facilities for some time past, aud ] pT The Bamberg Herald has been I endeavoring to help them. To this j ; end we have lately been in corres% - s pondence With Congressman Tal- f bert, who is willing and anxions to | v . use his best efforts to have a new t mail route established.

This is r a matter which has been given care- I ful study by Major Eaves, a#d he speaks, therefore, more or less by 1 the card. We see no reason to doubt his facts and figures nor to question v his conclusions. There are many r cotton seeU oil mills in South Oaro lina and they all pay and are ail in- t ducement for the farmers to market t their staple product where one is situated.

This is not oue of iEsop's Fables, j .nit just a plain, unvarnished tale of i mule?a young, untamed, lierv, stubborn, determined mule?aud :hat other anonioly, which only the Sunny South produces in its fulV ' perfection?the mule's master?a 4 genuine niule-hreaking darkey. a Daily these two give performances 11 Major Hays's stock yard, and as rhere is always a large and deeply c interested audience in attendance, c the Major is seriously considering . the idea of charging a price of ail- 1 mission to these equine-assiniue neuronic seances. Saturday morning the darkey c tackled a Miiall dun mule that had 1 more'of the devil in its whiteish 1 yes, more destructive force in its * lore legs and a more deadly aim in 1 its hinder ones, than falls totiie usual lot of these humble but exceedingly * useful creatures which "have neither 1 boast of ancestry nor hope of pes- ( terity." It was purposed to "break" 1 I his particular mule to harness be- ( side a very sedate old horse in a double wagon, but His Mules hip was broken before the darkey?with the assistance of a half dozen volun J tcers?got hint geared up, and there- ' in lies the tale. As a preliminary the darkey and his volunteers chased the mule into c a box stall; then a lasso was thrown deftly over its head and tightened * about nose and neck, whereat 1 the mule lashed out fore and aft, J sending splintered wood in alldirec fions. But. the rone held fast, the 1 1 Q | stable door was thrown open and ' with a stinging whip urging it behind and the choking rope dragging it before, they managed to get it to the front gate aud pulled its nose down against the palings, with a stent line twisted about its upper lip. Then they began putting on the gear, and the circus commenced. Such rearing, and kicking, and bucking, and plunging. Twice the mule climbed the fence, and tore off half the paling?, and thev had only succeeded in scattering the crowd a half dozen times und buckling on collar aud hames, It took four men to get the bit in the critter's mouth, and this emblem of man's power somewhat tamed its fiery spirit. There was a revival of devili'shness, however, when they endeavored to buckle on the backhand, and the mule was dragged and driven backto the stable and urged into a stall. ( Then, Mr. Ed. Hays passed the con- j fining rope through an aperture in j the stable wall and the mule's nose was pulled up to the other side of the planks. It was the critter's last ! frantic struggle, and heels and hoofs struck out in all directions. Otice it. seemed as though it was about to ' climb through the roof, and the next minute its fore feet splintered* half the boards on that part of the wall 1 fronting it Several times it leaped the stall partition on either side, but tbe darkey, dodging and squirming about among those beating hoofsand crashing heels, finally got the band i" on/1 u rrlo/1 a limit u>Piif lin U1 pittl/Cj **%* %m ? jfrom.the crowd?the mule was at ^ last harnessed. It hung ita head, and had a depressed and conquered look when j they led it out to the wagon, and it ^ Dffered no further resistance- When | geared in place beside the sober, old ( iiorse, it sighed deeply and dejectedly. Man's might?a darkey's dar ing had reduced the mettlesome t wide to moderation's mournful ( mood, and when the word was given j it trotred off as though it had been * worked in harness all its life. "That mule won't give lis any * more trouble. He's broke?clean J jroke!" was the Major's positive } Jeclaration, and the ciowd, disappointed at the easy victory, melted quickly away. ^ VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS ' Are grand, but Skin Eruptions rob life of joy.

"It is astonishing to me," said dajor Havelock Eaves yesterday, why some of our nionied men who ire looking for a good, safe investnent that will pay big dividends ion't pool their issues and build a ?otton seed oil mill here." "It is a good investment then, is t, Major?" asked The Bamberg Herald representative. "I should say it was," was the juick reply. "As an evidence, go nto the market to day and endeavor o buy second hand machinery for ;uch a mill. You'll find little, f any, for sale, because the demand 'or new machinery is so great, that ;he manufacturers working night j md day can't keep up with their >rders. Did you ever hear of an oil liill suspending or demanding a re-1 jeiver, or anything of that sort?" T don't know that I ever did." "Of course you didn't. They pay ?rom start to finish, and if you want :o buy one already established you'il lave to lay down a good round sum .or it." "How much capital would be required to build an oil mill, Major?" "To erect buildings and put in an ip-to-date plant for a mill of say ;wenty tons daily capacity, which vould be about the needs of Banilerg, it would require an investment )f say $25,000. It would not only lay big dividends, but it would benefit the town more than any equal unount of outlay that I can think )f. We will take the farmer to bejin with. He has his eotton picked, *.arts it to a neighboring gin, has it ginned, and the seed is dumped into ihe wagon with the bale of cotton )n top. Thus loaded he drives aome, takes out the bale of cotton ind shovels his seed into a house, ander a house, on the piazza into a l;noeked-up shelter^ or any other old place, reloads with his bale of cotion and carries it to the nearest aiarket town. He has choice of several, and may come here or go to Barnwell, Olar, Cope, Ehrhardt, Glovan or Denmark. Later on he oads up his seed. At every loading tnd unloading, mind you, there is more or less waste. We will say ihat he brings it here. He sells it it the highest market price, and *oes home again. Mayhap though, le wants his seed ground into meal, in that case he takes an exchange ;icket and when the meal ?s ready for ielivery comes here again and carts t home. That's four trips he has made to market one bale of cotton ind get the seed meal for fertilizing lis next year's crop. Now, if there ?vas an oil mill here he would do :he whole business in o..e trip. With a load of seed cotton he could irive direct from the field to town, lave his cotton ginned in a superior manner, sell it right on the spot, tnd either dispose of his seed or >um' IimoL- thA miittl t hp s-inip ihiv " "That certainly would be a saving jo the farmer." "Now let us see how it would ben* jfit the merchants, and incidentally ' * ihe commerce and prosperity of the vhole town. The farmer would not je slow to take advantage of the fniilities I have just enumerated. Instead of taking his cotton to one of i half dozen markets he would nat arally bring it here, where he could jet the quickest anu most advantageous returns for his product, and tSamberg would recover her lost irestige as a cotton market. , lu 1890 there were 16,000 bales of eoton shipped from Bamberg, and that vas before we had the cotton mill, vhlch annually purchases and conlumes about 2,500 bales. This year lie total sales of oottou iu Bauiherg vill not exceed 7,500 bales. In ten rears the balance of our purchase las been diverted to other neirby liarkets. With an oil mill iu dperition here, all this cotton will be liverted back to our city, and the irea of the territory druined by is would lie extended*. That means t greatly increased mercantile busiiess, and a help to everybody." "It is reasonable to believe this." "Now we come down to the payng prospects of the mill. Under iresent conditions a man brings a on of seed here. It is purchased . c ? *u )Y a rep resell lauvtr ui uue ui 1,11c iil mills, and lie makes at least a irofit of $1.50 a ton on each ton he mrciiases. '.the railroad company eceives a freightage of $1.10 a ton o carry the seed to the mill. When he meal comes back there is anothr $1 GO to pay?a total of $4.20 >ut of every ton of seed eaten up n the middleman's profit, a profit hat goes neither to the farmer nor o the oil mill. Now if this prolit an be suved to a mill right here on he ground, it, in itself would make he enterprise a big money winner, or the profit on an output of tweuy tons a day would be $84, and that would eiiable the mill to pay a prety big dividend on a capital of >25,000. But the oil mills elsewhere make a big profit, outside of his $4.20 a ton that goes to the niddleman, and one here could do s well. Then again, an up-to-date il mill will be fitted with the most uodern ginning machinery, which will turn o^it many more pounds of int cotton to the one hundred (ounds of seed, than by the oidinary ountry gin. Thus you see that verybody wouia derive a oeneiic ruin the null. The enterprising iieu who erect it would reap rich ividends 011 their in vestment, the armer would get a better price for lis cotton and make a great saving a wear and tear of wagons and nules, the meichants would sell lore goods, employment would be iven to more people, and Icau coneive of no investment that would lake a richer return than a cotton eed oil mill." "As presented by you, Major, it ertainly looks alluring." "And I have given you only facts. Jvery up-to-date and progressive jwn has its cotton seed oil mill and bey all pay. There is no reason rhy Bamberg should not be as large place as dewberry, Sumter and ther towns in the State. All that is necessarv to set the boom booming is for our monied men to put out their money. There are some who hold hack from fresh investments because past ones have not paid.

I am talking now simply as a citizen who wants to see his town forge to the front. I haven't any axe to grind, and no money to invest in such an enterprise. If I uid have the money, I should keep' my own counsel and build the mill. That's the way I feel about it, and I've studied the matter pretty carefully."

The prisoner was locked up in jail and Monday morning Mrs. Dukes was arrested. On Thursday last a lot of household goods, the joint property of Medlin and Mrs. Dukes, were shippeji to Augusta by the former, and it is said, that the pair contemplated begining life together there. The whole matter was amicably adjusted Monday, through the intervention of Magistrate J. C. Kennerly, of Cope, The woman agreed to return to her husband his clothing, a mattress, and a sewing machine, the two latter articles having been already shipped to Augusta and he 011 his part decided to let Mrs. Dukes "go her route." Medlin was also released trom custody. According to his story, he, sometime since, employed the Dukes woman to do his house keeping, and look after his four children, the mother of three of which, his second wife, is now living apart from him.
