The People's Journal. PUBLISHED WEEKY. T. 3. MAULPIN, - - - Editor. W. LFsLIE MATHENY, -- Bus. Mgr. Zntere4at the Post Ofioe at Pickens as second-class matter. Subs1cript on, $1.00. Year. THURSDAY, APR. 3. 1902. Last Friday was "Good Friday" but the weather didn't seem to know it. ' Havo you been to the Exposi tion yet? The railroads are doing their part to make the fair a sue Coss. The amount of actual farming done since the fifteenth of March is something to marvel at. The people aro going at the business in oarnest. When the crops are planted there will be a little broathing spell in which to think a little about what an enormous ,crop of candidates this year will produco. The way the people crowdod the Treasurer's omc Inat Monidny --M last day for t.he payment of taxes -was a caution. It was a fitting instance of the danger of procras - tination, and yet not all the people have paid thoir taxes. When good weather prevails at this season, every plow that can be made to run is moving. There is danger, when trying to get all tho work possible done, to overdo the matter somo and work serious damage to stock. ' When Treasurer Chapman closed down the tax books last Monday there wero still some who, satisfied with the indulgence already shown theni, had not taken off their re ceipts. Yot they will have an other opportunity to pay, but this time with a penalty. Thero is no question albout it, this year will see one of the most interesting political fights this state has ever had, It is to be hoped the campaigns will bo con ducted on high planos where real issues will have their places and personalities be shunned. The people are alivo to their imterests and will vote according to their best judgment. It matters very lit tlo to the low emmniiry people how the roads jn in the Piedmont section are prov'i ded for, but it is being im pressed on our peoplo most forcibly that the provisions of the prosent road law are altogether insufficient for the work required. Th~lis is a subet that will not down and the question will be agitated through the campaign this suimmor anid oin till the next legislature atdjournms. The State Suny School Con. vent Ion whiich met in Greenwoo( March 26th to 27th was an ablo earnest body of workers. ThIe~ had the Sunday School interosts na heart and their efforts wvere diroc. ted towards bringing int~o general work a nioro militant spirit and r more thorough organization with the special purpose of alcomplish,% ing results. They are doing good and when the c'onlvent ion meets in Greenville next year, oven a botter showing is anticipatedl. Easley, the most progressive town ini the Piedmont section, is mov ing for great things and accomplish ing much. Even a third cotton mill is seriously Contemplated and inaysoon he a fact. With one mill running another assured and~ dirt soon to be broken for its building anid still another in prospect those people0 are to be congratulated, not only on the success of their *enterprises but on tho spirit of *unity which always brinlgs good1, material results. ~'Capt. John Mf. Patrick, for sev eral years Commnandant and teach er in Patrick Military Institute, formerly located at Greenville but lately conducted at Anderson up to the time of the death of the late Vol. John B. Patrick, his father, is a candidate for the office of Ad~ jutant anid Inspector General. No better or more competent and suit able mian could be chosen for this position. A man well versed in the knowledge this office requires, a man of experience with the high qualities of mind and heart essen, to the mucesful administration of the affairs of this ofilce and with the peculiar energy that is needed, he is the man for the place. It is a hopeful sign when suob men~ 04er for off~oe. If you are in'the race for any thing, don't put it off too long, oth era might get ahead of you. Come out and take a stand before people sommit themselves. Charleston wants a prize fight, but if Governor McSweeney knows hiimself it will hardly come about in Charloston or anywhere else in 3outh Carolina. John W. Dillingham, for sever it years Chief of Police ot Andere son City, is dead. No better or truer man ever served his people Lhnn Mr. Dillingham. He was an ideal policeman, a terror to the evil-door and a friend to all who noodod his assistance. His place will be hard to fill. Ex-Judge C. P. Townsend, for some time lately assistant in the oflico of the Attorney General, has boen appointed Assistant District Attorney for South Carolina in the stead of B. A. Hagood, who has resignod that place. The friends >f Mr. Hagood in Pickens county xvill regret to hear of his resigna. ,,ion. We give some space this week bo announcements of candidates for state office and for congress. rhis we do siml)y by way of in, ,roducing their names to the peo. ple. We do not propose to con. 'inue to fill our columns with mat onr of this character. The best plan is for the people to see tha tndidates thomselves when they -nn form correct judgmont, Prosident Roosevelt will be Charleston's guest Wednesday, A pril 9th. The railroads have so reducod tho rates that everybody van go to Charleston. Of courso the exposition is the attraction but niany peoplo will take advantuge of this opportunity to see the greatest southern exposition ever held and the historic old city of Charleston and the Prosident of the United States as well. 'The Pickens bar has been hon. ored, and deservedly so, in the so,. lection of Mr. J.P. Carey to presido at a special term of court to be held in Greenville shortly. Mr. Carey has long sinco won this right to special distinction by his success both as a criminal and a civil lawyer, and it is no surprise that out of the long list of able lawyers in upper South Carolina, he should be chosen for this~ special work whiich callsi for a muan learned in tihe law and~ one of judicions TIlE MAN FOR TilE PLACE Capt. J. M Patrick For Adjutant And Inspector Ge'neral. Capt. J. M. Patrick has an nounced himselt a candidate for adjuItanit and1( in~spector general. Ilis friends have been urging him to run for someC time but it was5 not until yesterday that he woutld perit the nlewspapers to au nounIce his candidaoy. The a nnouncemiont that Capt. Patrick has decided to enter the raco for this oftico will be received with molre than ordinary initerost,. ieo is well known throughout tile St ate and is particularly well fit ted for the position, Hie has bleen actively connected with the'militia sebrvice of the State for many years. WheJin quite a young man, while living in1 Greenvil le, hie was elect ed captain of the Greenville (Onards, and1( re'signied that p)osi (ion when mioved to Anderson). He is no0w captain of the Anderson Riuls and1( has gotten that coim Pany into such splend(id shlapo that it is recognized as 01n0 of the fore miost iln the State. Ilut it was as commandant of cadets at the Patrick Military In stituite, whuich was p~residled ovor by huis il luastrious father, Col . John B. Pat rick, that he was buest known and~ ini which capacity 1)e rende~lred huis best services to his Stato. There alre in South Carolina hundreds of youing muen who received their mlilitary training under hnn, and to every one of them it will be ai pleasure to know that their former commandant has offered himsel f for a position for which they may yote for him. lie will have the enthusiastic support of all the for mner cadets of the old P. M. I. There is an especial reason why Anderson people will feel a special interest in his candidacy. Ander ion han' had a State officer since Jovernor Orr in 1868, and the pso le of the county feel that it is ime they were begining to have nome recognition. Capt. Patrick s a man whom it will give the people of the county pleasure to mupport, and they will give him aoarty endorsernent. Hie is splend idly fitted for the position, and bis popularity and splendid quali. ties as a gentlemanl will give him t prestige and strength throughout i the State. Capt. Patrick says he is in the race to the finish and expecta to j meake ani aggressive campaign. His fiends hope, and thy have good grountle for the hellel tbM he will be Xr. Rucker For Congress. Anderson will have two candi sates for congress in the approch. ing primary. Hon. Geo. E. Prince announced himself as a candidate some time ago, and yesterday Hon. E. M. Rucker, Jr., formally an nounced that lie would be in the race. There has been a rumor for some time that Mr. Rucker would be a candidate but he did not fully determine to run until yesterday. Hle has received a great deal of on. couragemont from his friends in different parts of the district. Mr. Rucker is a well known and popular Young lawyer of this city and will make an aggressive can paign. He has served two years ii the legislature from this county and made a splendid iecord, hav ing introduced several important measures, among them the bill making an important amendment to the law as to chattel mortgages, requiring the property mortgaged to be written instead of printed; the bill which resulted in the build. ing of the union passenger depoi in Anderson; the bill providing that in change of venue cases the cost of the trial shall be borne by the county in which the indictinen originated; the bill doubling the anount for Confederate pensions though ho had nothing to do with the law prescrbing the manner ir which the pension shall be distri buted; and the bill to allow Con, federate soldiers to peddle in the cities and towns without licenses, He was an ardent advocate, though not the author of the bill to provide free school books foi children whose parents are not able to buy them. Mr. Rucker was for five yearm an attorney in the office of the secretary of the interior in Wash ington under Mr. Cleveland's last adminstration and is thoroughly conversant with publia men and affairs.

For Irrigators In a Small Way-Do. tails of Construetion. The use of a leveling triangle was suggested to small Irrigators In Call fornia many years ago by *a prominent irrigation enginoeg. It isdtonstructed In this wa : The t iree pieces A B, B 0 and C A are made fast to eaeb other at A, B and C. The board B D is fastened to the triangle at right angles to A C. An or dinary carpenter's square used in the TRIANGLE WITH )PLUMn nOB. construction of the apparatus will in sure sufleiept acouracy In the position of B1 D. Near D, ox) the board Bi D. a plumb line is made fast. The plumb bob, like a mason's plumb bob, hangs In a hole, 4o that when B D Is vertical the string hangs very near the surface of the board B 1D. Whei B 1) is exact ly vertical, A C1 is exactly horizontal if the angles at ID are true right angles. The dimensions of the triangle may be about as follows: A C, 12 feet long; A D, about 7.feet 8 inches; 0 B3, about 10 feet; B D, about 6 feet long. Other dimensions will do as well, the oBsen taal features being the straight board A C and the board 1 1) at rig angles to it and near enough to one end of A C for the map carrying that end of the triangle to see accurately the position of the plumb line. The board B 1) should not be less thnu four feet long or the plumb line will be too short to give satisfactory results. It will fre quontly be found convenient to have a scale of feet marked off on A C. In marking on the board 1 D the line in which the plumb line will hang when A C is exactly'horisontal consid erable care is required. Two pegs are drivon into the ground as far apart as A and C for these points to rest on. The highest one is driven into the ground until the plumb line follows about the center line of the board B D. Having marked this position of the plumb line, the triangle is reversed Bo that the end 13 rests on the peg where before we had the end C, and vice versa. Should the plumb line make an angle with the first line marked on the board, then the coret position will be exactly in the middle between these two lines. This point should be per manently marked on the board B D. In iuing the triangle when the plumb line pauses through this point the base of the triangle will be level. 9Ioh Fre. Pastures. Some. of the calves borni of immune cows escape tick infestation and con sequently escape inoculation. When full grown, or several years old, they may be taken into a tick infested pas ture or the ticks may be brought to thetn by introducing no0w cattle into the herd. Then they may die of Texas fever. Many farms in Alabama are tick tree, many town lots arc tick free, parts of many farmis and pastures are tick free, consequently cattle that are bred and raised in such tick free places are susceptible to Texas fever. Tick free lots, pastures and farms are so made by keeping sill cattle oft thenm for one or more years, by rotation of crops and pastures, by burning the grass, by killing all the ticks on the home cat tle, by stock law all the year round and by introducing no new cattle without first completely ridding .them of ticks. Ticks do not travel any great distance (a few. feet only) except when upon their host. By themselves ticks will rarely, if ever, cross a read sixty foot wide. Hence a tick !fifented and tick free farm may be very near each other and remain in that condition, providing cattle and horses are not permitted to go from one farm to the other except when these farm animals are free of tick.-.C. A. Cnry. Seed Potatoe.. Potatoes that have been kept by banking with earth should not be dis turbed in the spring untIl about the last of April. They may then be taken from the bank and may be stored in a cellar or a (lark cornor of the barni un til about one week before planting time. Then they should be spread upon the ground where they .will be fully ex posed to the sunlight. Th'lis will cause the buds to make a strong, vigorous growth, which is not brokent off when the tubers are planted. Permitting the buds thus to start greatly facilitates growth after planting. 'rho Cornell (N. Y.) station has found this method of procedure to 3work well, much better than when seed tub~ers are stod in collars or wvhere they are banked Jum nmediately after digging. .
