Taesday. February 12. : : 1895
IT really seems that the cotton plant
is the true exponent of th3 great re
sources of the South. It furnishes
food and raiment for man, food for
cows, sheep and hogs, and now we are
told that horses may be fed most
economically on hulls as a substitute
for forage.
WE are anxious to see the work of
organizing P.ize Clubs throughout the
county go on. Three clubs were re
ported last week and we hope to hear
of more soon. In- organizing these
clubs the most practical part should
not be l.st sight of, that of keeping in
view that these clubs should be neigh
borhood experiment stations. Not
only the largest yield but the largest
profit should be the object sought.
PREsMENT CLEVELAND has put the
question squarely to Congress as to
whether the geld reserve be held by
the treasury to redeem its notes shall
be maintained by the issue of geld
bonds. The President has been much
abused on account of his sound money
ideas but he has now left the matter to
Congress. What that body will do
no one can with any certainty predict.
If they do not do something to settle
-thll financial policy of the country
with~ themu must rest the responsibility.
TaB Nuws AID HERA.Dw has always
been interested in the advancement of
the educational interests of the county
and is anxious to become the medium
of commiunication through which the
may reach each other in the discus
sion of questions pertaining to the
advancement of the schools. To. this
end we have tendered the School Comn
missioner the use of our columlns and
hope to have something of interest
each week in this line. Already we
have had contributions from several
teachers, and others are promised.
GOmERTOR EvTAis has found that the
system of book-keeping used by the
- - dispensaries iv not satisfactory and he
proposes to look into the matter and
reorganize and reconstruct the machin
ery of the department. This is proper.
It is remembered that no intelligent
statement could be gotten out of the
published reports during the last cam
paign. Charges of fraud were made
and as often 'denied but the figures
were so mixed that no two account
ants could get the same results from
them. This is all wrong, and the ad
ministration owes it to the public and
to themselves to see that a complete
system is used. This can easily be
done if the selection be submitted to
competent accountants. The Gover
nor is right and no doubt will have the
matter attended to.
TsE recent cold snaps have been
most destructrive in Florida, the mer
cury reaching the lowest point on re
cord. Orange trees are nearly all
killed and the pine apple interests in a
deplorable condition. The cultivation
of the latter has recently been pushed
far up in the-State and had become an
important industry. It is estimated
that forty per cent of the pine apple
plants were killed by the irst freeze
and those left were damaged to such
an extent that very little fruit could
reasonably be expected. The present
cold wave, reported more severe than
the first, has probably destroyed the
remaining. This is bad news from
the sunny land of nlowers whose
people have been congratulating them
selves upon having felt none of the
depression of the hard times. Now,
however, they will have to fall in the
procession and move on to the doleful
term of "Hard Times."
A Good schemeo whieh Failed to Carr in
The Associate Reformed people of
the city are deploring the fact that
Rev. Mir. Todd accepted the presidency
of the Due West College, as a plan
was on foot to establish a college here
with him at the head. The Osanva
was informed of this two weeks ago,
but was not at liberty to mention it.
The idea was to rent the college and
for Mr. Todd and Miss Lilny Long to<
run the schol. Mr. Todd had prolfdied
the Due West people to give them an1
answer Thursday, and the other plan j
not having come to mnaturity, he ac
eepted the offer from Due West.- Char- t

JENKINSVILLE, S. C , Vebruary 7.
'he happenings in this section for
onetime were rather "tale, flat and
uprofitable," and I did not feel iu
elled to write you of them fearing
hat they wonid fail to interest your
eaders, but silence, although "gol
en," like "patience" ceases to be a
irtue sometimes and duty bids me
vite without waiting longer for some
hing new or startling to "turn up.'
I thought to have one item of newi
or your columns, that would be api
o enlist attention, that of the only
narriage that has taken place here
bouts recently, but your reporter
ver wide awake, did not wait for m4
o inform him. I refer to the mar
iage of B. H. Yarborough to Misi
Evelyn Yarborough, by the Rev. J. H
iarborough, at the residence of tho
)ride's father, Mr. R. T. Yarborough
)n the evening of January 9. Tha
ounds as if it was "all in the family
oes it not?"
We are as busy as bees trying. t
keep warm for the snows, sleets, rain
and blizzards succeed each other si
rapidly as scarcely to allow us time tA
thaw out. Winter is most assuredl;
asserting her strongest characteristic
this season, her reign is absolute it
deed, and the crackle and glow of i
bright wood fire affords us solid com
fort just now-is enough to "deligb
your heart" as the Irishman said abou
the potatoes.
Our jower gardens look as if a fir
had passed over them. Many of th
evergreens appear to have been kile
and all are shedding their leaves.
Farm work is out of the questio:
almost. A few rails have been splil
and a few cords of wood cut, betwee
the rains and snows. This is the sut
and substance of it.
The cotton planters are casting side
long, wistful glances at the fertilizer
lying at the depots, yet fear to invel
so largely as usual. They find it har
indeed to leave the old beaten trac
and plant less cotton.
Rev. Mr. Dickson, the newly ai
p->inted presiding elder of the Colun
bia district, presided to the satisfactio
of all at the recent quarterly meetin
held here at Shiloh t.,harch. He. doe
his official work quickly and thoi
oughly, and preaches short, forcibb
plain sermons.
Mr. Willie Glenn, of Pendleton,

I hear that Dr. Douglass, af Santui

I do hope that the .gentleman wi
offers to invest $1,000 in a cotton fai
tory will find enough substantial ai
to put one in operation at some pou
in the county. Parr's mills, for l

FJEASTERVILLE ITEMS.
FZASTERYILE, Feb. 7.-There wi
very little work done in this sectioni
January.
Hard times and the scarcity of mone
is the great cry and hue among tU
farmers. Almost everybody seems di
spndent on secount of the low pric
of cotton and the present depresse
condition of business.
There will not be quite so muc
land cleared this year as there wa
last year and the year before.
I do not think there will be as muc
commercial fertilizers used in this set
tion as there has been heretofore.
think it is a step in the path that leas
to the highway of econemy, for
errily believe that if the farmers ha
all the money they have paid to guam
cmpanies for the last twenty-fiv
years they could pay off all the mor1
gages on their property and hav
enough left to lay up something for
rainy day.
The health of the community is ver
g.>od.
The eats in this section were injure
some by the cold weather three c
four weeks ago.
We are pained to chronicle the recet
sad accident which occurred at Fis
Dam ferry .on last Monday the 4t
inst. While the Rev. Mr. Greshan
wife and two children, of Darlingtoi
who were crossing Broad River th
it broke and Mrs. Gresham and hi
twelve-year-old son were drownet
Mr. Gresham swam to the bank wit
bi little daughter and saved her lift
Mr. Gresham was traveling by privat
conveyance and was on his wayt
Spartanburg County, to accept a ca
to preach this year. He stopped i
he community a day or t wo an
preached a very interesting and hr
presive sermon at Beaver Creel
Baptist Churchi last Sunday. .His te2
was Matthew, 16th chapter, and 24t]
verse. Many friends in this sectioi
tender their sympathies in his bereave
went, and trust that his loss will b
the eternal gain of his beloved wifi
nd child, for be well knows tha
when the ways of God are most mys
*erios and insomprehensible, they ari
tofinitely wise.
We were pained to bear of the recen
leathofMr. Wade Williford, of Winns
oro. Mr. Williford had made man'
friends throughout the county by hia
any acts of kindness and socia
ualities, who will very much regre
;o hear of his unitimely death. His
nany friends sympathize with the
mily in their bereavement. Mr.
VYiliford died too soon for his earthly
ispirations, but not too soon for his
ieavenly felicity.
Mr. Henry Owens and Miss Mamie
oleman were united in the holy bonds

DEATH OF MRS. PECK.
One of Columbia's Oldest Citizens Passes

Mrs. Sarah B. Peck, one of the old
5est if not the oldest citizen of Colum
bia, died on Thursday night last at the
residence of her grnddaughter, Mrs.
Thomas R Enlish, at. Hamnpden
'to the ripe old age of 93 years. She
was a native of this city, and lived
here until a few years ago, when she
went to live with her son, Dr. Thomas
Peck, who died a short time ago at the
age of 70 years. Mrs. Jacob S. Muller,
yof this city, was a grand daughter of
the deceased.
IAll the old residents of this city re
member Mrs. Peck. She taught a
school for boys and girls for over fifty
years, and numbers of citizens of
iboth sexes went to school to her.
Born in 1802, she very early imbibed
t he patriotic spirit of those stirring
~,times, and she has often related tOher
ascholars how, when she was a young
alady, she strewed flowers in front of
.LaFaette on the occasion of his visit
bto Columbia in 1825. In many in

to Mrs. Madden, of this place, and
was well known to some of her older
-citizens.
