Ileath Springs, May 3, 1900.?
Mr. Editor: The weather is now
propitious, and the songs that
are heard Irotn the soil tillers give
abundant evidence that it is being
used for all it is worth, by those
who are planting or preparing to
plant their crop.
We are glad to see that the
Alliancemen of the county are
waking up and that there has
been more than one reorganization.
The Alliance did a noble
thing some years ago in breaking
the back of the jute trust and it
seems now that they will have to
mass themselves this year to fight,
the price of bagging. Then, "Lay
n\ McDuflf and damned be he
who first cries enough."
liev. Mr. and Mrs, Rankin and
family, of Newberry, visited Mrs.
Rankin's mother here last week,
then visited relatives at Kershaw,

night and left Wednesday for
home.
Miss Bessie Perry whocr? ?ehool

Friday, spent Sunday and till

the guest of Miss Emma Mclhvain.
Mr. Will Miller who has been

accepted a similar position at
Catawba Junction. Mr, Cloud
Miller who was formerly there
passed through stopping one day,
on his way to Elko, Ga., where he
has accepted the agency of the
Atlantic Coast Line.
The stores were to have begun
closing at six o'clock on May the
1st. but some of the clerks are
disappointed in not being able to
close them as their special friends,
"the loafers" hang round all day
and just at closing time walk
in for something, or "to look" at
something.
Some of our young people
intend to go to Catawba Falls on
Saturday, to-day, to the annual
picnic.
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Bridges

information :
The Southern railway will run
two trains from Columbia, that
is the regular and a special train
which will leave the union depot

tend to take the trip from Columbia
and points south and east
of it will concentrate here in time
to take the 8 30 train on the 29th.
Others to whom Spartanburg will
he more convenient to reach are
expected to assemble in that city
and join the party which will
reach that city from Columbia.
Both trains will be scheduled to
reach Louisville the next morning
in time for breakf st.
There will be ample sleeping
car arrangements for all who desire
such accommodations, but i
all who want to avail themselves 1
of them should send in their noti- .
fication to Col. Caldwell at once.
The best possible service will be
given in this particular if due
notice is given in advance that it
is desired.
The price for the round trip
will be $11.25. Tickets will be on
sale May 27, 28 and 29, and will
be good to return until.June 6.
The Southern has a double daily
service between Louisville and
Columbia, one train leaving in

evening. Tickets will be good on
either of these trains.
It. is expected that at least 25

Confederate soldier or son of a
veteran, and ladies and citizens
as well.
Col. Caldwell will be glad to
give any further information de

any agent of the Southern.

THE MARVELS WE HAVE
WROUGHT IN ONE HUN

By George B Waldron, in May
Number Ladies Home Journal
There were hut 3,500,000 peo
pie in America when this century
opened. France had five times as
many people; Germany, and even
Austria, had four times America's
population; Italy had three times
as many, and so had Great Britain.

tugal was almost our rival in
numbers.
We have more people now than
any European nation except Russia,
which alone leads us. We
have as many people as live in
all Great Brit inn and France now
combined. We have one half more
peoplo than Germany. We have,
practically, 75,000,000 people in
the United States, and 10,000,000
more in our new possessions.
There were only five large cities
in America in 1800. Philadelphia,
i with GG.O00, was the largest, the
seat of goveinment. and the con
tre of wealth and culture. New
York was next, with 00,000. Baltimore
was third, with 26,500;
Boston fourth, 25,000, and Char
lesion, South Caiolina, fifth, with
10,000 people.
Chicago was unheard of in 1800

i There was no Western city. The
mighty, modern cities of St. Paul,
Minneapolis, Omaha, Denver and
Kansr.s Citvwas unheard of. There
was only a small trading post, at
St. Louis. That was all. The Pacific
Coast had two or three missions

The "Far West" was then Kentucky,
Ohio and Western New
York. Heyond the Alleghftuies
was practically a wilderness. Now i
53,000,000 people live within the
area that belonged to our nation
in 1800.
The United States is larger now
than all Europe in point of area. It
has 3,600,000 square miles?ono
fourteenth of the land surface of
the entire globe. In 1800 we had
just 825,000 square miles.
We are the richest nation on
the globe. To-day our wealth is
estimated at over $100,000,000,
000; in 1800 it was $2,000,000,000.
A man worth $300,000 was
then considered abnormally rich;
to-day we have several hundred
men who are worth $3,000,000 or
more.
Uncle Sam spends each year,
on his government, $550,000,000
not including the extra outlay
occasioned hv mir late war anH
the new accession of territory. In
1800 he spent $ 1 2,500,000.1n four

stove was a positive luxury ; t he furnace
was unheard of. Great fireplaces
supplied heat, but could not keep these
huts comfortable in winter.
There wan no Kerosene nor Gas;
both were unheard of. The tallow dip
was the standard light, and on the
frontier* even tallow was scarce.There
the torch of the forest was much used.
Lamps tlun were in the homes of the
very rich, fed with whale or vegetable
oils, but th? y were few, and the tlame
hardly brighter than the candles. For
fifty years into the century these
lights were used, for it was not until

and, even in 1851, kerosene was very
expensive, costing sixty cents a gallon.
There was no such thing as a match.
The flint and steel of the old family
musket was the means of kindling a
Are; or a live coal was brought from a
neighbor's,sometimes many miles distant.
When the friction match came,
in 1827, people were afraid of it and
would not have it in the house. Today
we in America alone use over 126,000,000,000
matches each year.
The cooking-stove was unknown.
The cooking was done in the fireplace
in pots and kettles standing on long,
slender legs well above the coals. The
old brick oven was fired once a week

and it was beautiful. China and
silverwear were lacking. The pewter
spoons and steel knives and forks were
choice heirlooms and highly prized.
Hand-made wooden trenchers, platters,
bowls aud noggins comprised
most of the tableware in use a hundred
years ago. On the frontiers meals were
often eaten off chips freshly on' from
the forest trees.
Gtarn.ents were spun by hand, every
member of the family doing a part.
There were a few cotton-spinning
mills in operation, but the spinning
jenny, the carding machine anu the
loom with flying shuttle were almost
unknown in America. The century
was thirteen years old before the
power loom was set up?at Waltham,
Massachusetts. #
A woman could spin from dawn to
dark from forty to sixty knots of yarn.
Now, with modern machinery, one operative
can spin 160,000 knots in the
same time.
