part well in buying and each and

part of making the price lias been

OCTAVOS’VIEWS
ON SENATE ROLES.
Senators Should be Allowed'
to Fight to a Finish,
BEN TILLMAN IS NO FOOL.
Oetavus Think** If Senate Would Permit
Puglllatii Senator., to "Fight it Out’' H
Would Prevent Snell Ulagr.icel'ul Orenr-
rencea Farmnrs Hel.ii.d With Work,

Willie, Mch 17.—VVe humbly t g
the pardon of our readers, and also of
I’he J.e'ger for staying atvay so long,
but reelly we suspect that the loss
has been very light However we
promise to try to cou e oftentr io the
future.
VVe don’t know where Mr. Black'
burn lives, but we tbir.k that he
acred wisely in publishing nis letter,
commending Senator Tillman for his
action ou the floor of the senate
chamber, outside of this State
where the people didn’t know any
better. The people of this State know
Senator Tillman better than that.
There is one thing that we all
know, and that is, that Senator
Tillman is no fool, and had he
known that it would have been a
fight to the finish, we have very se
rious doubts, in our mind, whether
Senator Tillman would have struck
that blow or not. We rather think
hat if the senate would adept a rule
allowing senators to fight to a finish,
whan they get into their pugilistic
tantrums, it would go farther toward
preventing such disgraceful occur
rences than suspension afterwards.
Sam Stagg was tried and iouod
guilty last week at Spartanburg, for
the murder of J 0. Chapman on the
2(i’h day of last January The jury
naviug recommended him to merc>,
his sentence was life time imprison
ment.
Mr. Joe Clayton’s baby died o f
pot-umoma the 10th, inst., and was
buried at. Holly Springs on the lltb.
Our farmers are badly behind with
their work now, but they are cei-
(aiuly utilizing every moment tbai
the weather will permit.
Until South Carolina elects men of
honor to sit in her high places she

Jim Tillman epinod*-, no one ever ex
pected any better ol mm.
VVe have heard wheat raisers say
that wheat always depended largely
upon the May seasons for a crop. If
so, it is well that it is so this year,
because the prospect for a wheat crop
at this time is the poorest that we
nave ever seen, and the oat crop will
depend almo-t entirely upon the
spring planting.
VVe reck m that * Farmer,” of
Jonesville, and Mr. Black, of (.rassy
Pond, are right in advising the boys
to stick to the farm, hut the prospect
for the farmer, for the last few years
has been very gloomy and our candid
opinion is. that had *e stuck to
the farm exclusively, that we would
not have now been here to tell the
tale (perished) Farming, though, is
like other trades; all tmn were| not
made for farmers. Just imagine
what Spartanburg and Cherokee
counties would have been, had the
boys all “stuck” to the farms
While we don’t claim to be compe
tent to give the boys advice, we will
merely suggest that if they are doing
well on the farm to stick to the farm,
but if they are not doing well on rh*-
farm. to try something else, and when
they find an occupation at wuich
they can succeed why, stick to it.
Miss Ruth Thompson, a student ot
Ro 'k Hill college, spent a few days
last week with her parents. Dr. and
Mrs. R E Thompson, of Clarence

Pickens county, and also Mr. J B
Finley, spent several days not long
since, visiting in this section
Our farmers seem to be hauling
guano very sparingly so far, but per
haps bv the time they get through
they will have hauled about the
usual amount.
W. R Johnson went to Hpartan-
burg this week on business.
This section is now pretty well
covered with the so-called free rural
mail delivery. VVe only lack one route
of having our section entirely covered
from Campnbello to Willie, and the
carrier. Ed Jackson, expect to mak
his rounds on the first of April Now
I want to say that if the rural de
livery law is as some of the carriers
claim it to be, requiring the patrons
to buy boxes from u hem. giving them
from $1 50 to 00 for boxes worth
from 2oc to 50c. it is going to lie a
great inconvenience to a large ma
jority of the patrons. Wtf hear of
considerable dissatisfaction with the
service where they have been trying
it. We think that one man has just
as much right to have his mall
brought to his door as another
whether he happens to live on the
public road or not. Or'r.wrs

The roads are in bad shape in this

Mrs. 8. M. Powell and family, ol

VVe are having some trouble about
getting our mail during the last two
weeks. The postmaster at Cowpen*
hands the mail out to different peo
pie and sometimes it reaches us aqd
sometimes not. VVe hope the post
master will be more cautious aboui
the mail matter hereafter. We hear
lots of complaint about the mail de
livery here of late. A good many peo
ple would take the county paper if
we had better mail facilities. Rural
delivery does not do much good; the
old way is the best.
