In Growth of Population by j
the L< w Country,
Which is a Surprise
Wo aro going to giv'o you a surprise
and knook out somo long hold theories
at) to tho quarter ;n whioh tho Stato's
growth in population has boon greatest.
Praotioaily every man if asked
whioh oountics liavo shown tho largost
porocntago of inoroaso in population in
tho last 20 years would say: "Tho
Piedmont counties, of course." Not
80.
What is the Pioaroont rcgiou? Wo
!quoto from Harry Hammonds handbook
of South Carolina, issued by tho
Stato department of agriculture in 1883:
Tho Piodmout region ot South Carolina
coinoidos very noarly with what is
known as tbo upper country of tho
Siato. It inolu'03 tho whole of eight
counties, to wit: Abbeville, Audorsnn
Nowberry, Laurens, Union, Fail field,
Chester and Lancaster It also embracos
tho uorthcru portions of Kdgofield
and Lexington and tho northwestern
portions of Kiobland, Korshaw
and Chesterfield. Tho southorn parts
of Oeoneo and Piokcus, and tho southorn
aud larger portions of Grconville,
Spartanburg and York aro within its
limits A line drawn from a point on
tho Savannah river three miles abovo
Hamburg to Columbia, "Mid running
thonoo northea-t to whero tho Groat
Peo Deo river cris-tcs from North into
South Carolina, defines, in a general
way, its southoru border. Its northern
boundary follows, in tho tuain, the
dircotiou of tho Atlanta and Phailotio
Air Lino railroad, whioh lies on tho
edgo of tho Alpine region, just north
of tho ono urnii r oonsidt ra iou.
As it is impossible with iholi.uros
now available ?and probably it would
bo equally impossible if wo Had the
figures by townships?to asoorlain tho
oxaot population of the L'icdinout region
wo must conlino ourselves for tho
purposes ot this aniolo to tho uso of
tho terra as oomraonly aoeoptod, including
in tho Piodraout tho small Alpine
region of tho Stato and tho sand
hill portions of suoh oountics as are,
aoooruing to tho foregoing statoraont,
in part representative of tho Piedmont
region.
In 1880 the populations of the respective
oountics touohod by tho Piedmont
rogion were as follows:
Abbeville 40,815

Theao were 18of the 33 oountios then
in exiatenoo. The organization of nt v,
eounties has sinco inoreased tho nun

Summing up results wo find tl a'- tho

have increased ihoir population 186,988
or 37 9 10 peroont.
That tho ooast oouutioa havo incroas
cd their population 57 931 or 23 4 10
per cod.
That tho middle countiis, inoludirg
most of tho aandhill region and tho
upper pine belt, have increased their
population 99 817 or 39 2 10 per cent.
Therefore the State's greatest gain
in population in tho last two decades
has been in wuat may bo termed tho
low or middle oountry and not in tho
Piedmont region. '1 his is roiuarlcablo
when wo consider how muoh of this
territory is covered by tho sandhill rogion
with its unproductive lands and the
further fact that ootton manufacturing
has not been developed in it to any degree
approximating tho growth of that
industry in tho Pioduiont. Tho figures
go to show that with tho impending
Rroat extension of cotton manufacturing
iu this holt, tho rapid growth of
tho tobacco industry and tho fino trucking
lauds which 1 io sonth of tho sandhills
there is good reason to cxpoot an
iijcroaso of population in this part of
tho 8tato during tho next ten years
whioh shall equal if not surpass that
in any other region.
Unquestionably tho gonoral avorago
of tho Piodmont region suffers by reason
of tho inclusion in it of sovoral
oountios known to bo in tho part pooi
and non-progrossivo: but this is equally
duooi thouiiddlo rogion, and its growth
despito theso disadvantages is a very
cheoring tokon of tho futuro of South
Carolina. In tho oourso of timo tho
movomont of population and of industry
will oxtond to tho coast oountios?
as it would do now woro thoir rosouroes
and opportunities realised?and thoro
will thou bo throughout South Carolina

tho most meaning and dircot judioial
arraignment tho notorious lawlessness
of that oity has yot received. Tho remarks
of }tho judgo woro very frank.
Judgo Bonot said: "You have mado
a mistako. Tore is a looality on tho
opposito side of tho Stato from Spartanburg
where you can soil liquor with
impuuity and where grand juries won't
present guilty parties and pitit juries
won't convict; whero you oan sit and
stnilo at (ho plainest, most oonvinoing
ovidonoo against you must supply that
always great demand for whiskoy,
omigrato to that fAVorod looality.
It is not hero. In this Piedmont ooun
try jurors do their duty and tho law is
observed." .Theso remarks mado a

a justified contrast.
Scrubs Cows Teeth.
'Aooording to tradition," says tho
Philadelphia Rooorl, <4thero was onoo
an old woman who kissed her oow and
said, 4Kvory ono to his own tasto.'
Out at Bustloton there is a 'gontleman
farmer' who oan give tho aforesaid old
woman cards and spades and beat her
at her own game. Ho doo9 not kiss his
cows, but doos something mere remarkable.
He aotually scrubs thoir teeth
with a large toothbrush! This man
has many poouliar ideas about his livo
stook, and particularly his cows, whioh
are of tho very finest breeds. So cautious
is he about their eatinganddrinking
that all tho water the oows uso is
distilled. It is said that he has a separate
toothbrush for each oow, and, as
he oannot depend upon his men to do
tho brushing, he does it himself, using
tho very host Castilo soap. He feols
that in adopting this oourse ho is assured
of puro milk, free from the possibility
of miorohos.
CONWAY,

Washed from h Wrecked Steamer
to be Frozen to Death
ON A DESFRT ISLAND.
The Story of Horrors Comes
From Seven Islands Bay.
N o Riiivivr>r rt f thn
Disaster Found.
A new horror in rep >rted from Seven
Islands I> iy, on the coast of Labrador,
wbcro 2t> lives wcro lost by the wreck
of the iron coasting steamship St. Olaf.
It is now believed that many of I ho
victims of tho disaster escaped iho
h<:? to meet a liugering death in tho
Hi-mv on ti desert island. A schooner
wiih aioliol' party wont from tho village
cf Seven Islands to Islo Bou'.o,
seven miles distant, to search for sur
viv.irs. Thoy found no sign of life on
the island which is circular in shape
and a mile in diaraotor, containing
many boulders, but otherwise oovcrod
wiih stunted trees.
Tho hull of tho sunken steamer is
broken into four pieces, having orash<d
iuto rockv cliffs in about 30 fathoms
of (V&tth Oa tho rocky beach close
by aro three botm of tho vessel smashed
to pieces- In addition to tho proa
eneo of tho boats a-horo tho searchtrs
found a keg containing ] revisions at
tho odgo of the woods soruo distance
from tho water, showing conclusively,
says the leader of tho parly of senrohcrs,
that some of the victims got aehoro.
No sign of 1 ifo was to ho found, and
lho islana is covered with three feet of
snow, beneath which it is expected,
tho missing bodios will be found. Tho
search is being continued, but it will bo
slow work removing so much snow.
There was no shelter but that of tho
trees on the island, and it is probable
that the survivors of tho wreck wont
ashore Wednesday night in the midst
of tho storm. Tho body of Miss Mario
Pago, ono of thofio rcoovircd, was
clothed in a night dress, indicating
that tho wreck occurred at night, and
at tho St. Olaf left Sheldrake. 45 miles
distant, on Wednesday altcrnooti, the
wreck doublets oaourrod that night
The lighthouse oou'.d not bo seen from
Boulo lslaud, and there is no fog gun
near. Seven of the victims were passcugors.
They were Louis Uaggon, n
trader of Pontecost, Labrador. whoso
brother is a lucrohant of (Jueboo; Josoph
Baoon, Clarcnoo Bon?l, Jeremy
Ohinic aud Miohaol Mahor, of Sheldrake;
Napoleon Beadin of St. .Johns
river and Miss Mario Pago of Thuudor
llivcr. Thoro wero 19 ruoinbors of the
crow.
Tho St. Olaf traded botwecn hero
and Eskimo Point, on tho Labrador
coast, and carried tho government
mails to tho various points of that territory.
She was huilt by Murdook &
Murray at Port Glasgow, on tho Clyde,
in 1882, and originally plied to tho
Orkney Islands. Tho steamer passed
Sholdrako on Wednesday afternoon,
when there was a gale, with snow, at
tho gulf. It was evident that in attempting
to make tho harbor of Sovon
Islands aha atruok Houlo Inland, at the
ontranoo of tho bay, in tho galo. Somo
bodies wero washed ashoro thoro as
well as a mail bag. Furihor investigation
rovcalcd on tho rooks tho boiler
and a part of tho bow of tho wreoked
vobsoI, Ono of tho bodios rooovered is
that of Miss Mario Pago. Tho body of
MiHR Pago was oast up on tho shore inoascd
in a life-proscrvcr. This goos to
snow that tho only woman on board
tho ill fated vessol was not forgotten by
the crew. Miss Pago, who was young,
was on her way to Montreal to nuroo in
a privato family.
Help is needed at odco when a person's

It is reported from Pekin that an
