ELBERT H. AULL, EDIToL ELBERT H. AULL, )Pro rietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, P NEWBERRY, S. C, THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1890 A GOOD SCHEME. The scheme proposed in the Board of Trade meeting, on Monday night, to organize a Land Improvement and In vestment Company in Newberry County, is a good one. The matter has been talked of for some time by some of the leading business men of New berry and Prosperity, and we trust now that it may take some definite shape. The idea seems to be to form a company with sufficient capital to buy up unimproved land that may be offered for sale, and to improve the same and cut it in small farms and sell it to our people, or others who may desire to settle among us, on such terms and such time as they can afford t) pay, and at such interest that they can be able to pay for it. In this way our people can become owners of their homes and not merely tenants for large land owners. There can be little doubt that many of our farmers are land poor anyway. It is also the idea of this enterprise to make the shares of this proposed company small enough and payable in such a way that all our peo ple can become owners of the stock in thecompany and thus become person ally interested in the development of our county in its material progress. More than that, the stock, if possi ble, should be distributed throughout the county so that the people could at least have one enterprise in which they could work together harmoniously for the common good of the whole county. We need above all things-for the people of the county to be united, for only by united effort can we build up material prosperity within our borders and com mand the respect and confidence of outsiders. The scheme is a good one and we trast that it will be made successful. THE WORST TET. The killing of the negro prisoner in Barnwell last week seems to be a more atrocious outrage than the lynching of the eight negroes in the same county only a few days before. There is evidently no excuse what ever for the killing of this defenceless negro. Then when he was in the custody of the officer, to be thus cruelly killed while others stood by and gave no as sistance to the defenseless, and took no steps to prevent the outrage, does seem tt be a shame upon civilization and manhood. If we are to have courts, those who -Ecarged with crime she uld be given a fair and impartial trial, and the guilty punished according to their guilt. It seems in this case that all the parties who took part in the act are known, but little or no efforts were made to have them arrested and held for the crime they had committed. We regret to see this tendency to wards a disregard for the laws of the State and the indifference manifested in efforts to have the persons who are guilty of such outrages against the peace and dignity of the State brought to account for their acts. We need a public sentiment that will condemn, in terms not to be mis taken or misunderstood, such acts of violence, and that will demand in all cases of violation of law, that the offenders be made responsible for their acts. There have been too many miscarri ages of justice, and there seems to be too little regard for the law. There must be a change. Alfonso, the baby King of Spain, who was seriously ill a few days ago is reported as better and out of danger. The little fellow is now nearly four years old, and was' crowned King on the day of his birth. "Never before in the history of the world has the death bed of any little boy been watched with anything like the interest which all Europe" has felt in this child. His death would probably have pro duced a revolution, as no doubt several pretenders to the throne would have sprung up, ancd when this is considered it is no wonder the interest that was felt in his life. When we think of these thingrs we should be proud of the government our forefathers left us. One President or Governor may die, - but another is found to take his place, and the nation mourns, but the even tenor of the government goes on. The County Teachers' Association of Greenville has invited the State Teachers' Association to hold its sum mer meeting in the city of Greenville the coming summer. How would it do for the teachers of Newberry County at their meeting on Saturday to invite them to hold their meeting in New - berry the coming summer ?' It would be quite ani advantage to New berry to have the educators of the State to come and spend a week or twvo with us, and we feel quite sure that New berry could furnish ample entertainment for this body. We feel quite sure the teachers would receive a warmi welcome here. Then, too, it will be just before the opening of our graded schools and could but awaken a deeper interest in education in our town arid counity. Cardinal Gibbons of the Catholic Church was in Charleston last Sunday, the occasion being the laying of the corner-stone of the new cathedral. The ceremony was witnessed by a large number of persons, many coming from a distance. Don't forget the election on the Graded School question on next Thurs day, and unless you thlink your towvn complete, and you are satisfied to re miin where we are in the march ofA progress, be sure to vote for t.he estab lishment of the Graded Schools. It *would be a l.>ng step backwards to do, TBE TIRD DISTRICT. S What Some Newspapers Have to say cf Judge Cothran's Resignation aid C His Prospective Successors. Occasionally we see in the papers something in regard to the Third Con gressional District and the various can didates who are aspirants for Judge : Cothran's seat in Congress. It may be of interest to many of our readers to know what others are saying, and hence we quote some of these notices 2 without comment. The race will likely be a lively and interesting one, and the nomination e should be decided by the ballots of the ' Democratic xoters of the District. TO SERVE OUT HiS TERM. [Register.] It is now understood as certain that Judge Cothran has accepted the posi- f tion of general counsel for South Caro- 1 lina for the Richmond and Danville Railroad system, but that he will serve I out his term in Congress before devot- s ing his entire attention to the position. Col. B. L. Abney of this city has ac cepted the position of assistant coun- 1 sel, and will have charge of the legal I business of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad. Colonel Orr, e of Greenville, and Major D. R. Dun can, of Spartanburg, have also been engaged as assistant counsel, with the Col umbia and Greenville and Spartan burg, Union and Columbia Railroads as their special charge respectively. f GEORGIA SAYS BENET IS THE MAN. [Atlanta Journal.] The Hon. W. C. Benet, of South Carolina, is on a visit to Atlanta. Mr. Benet is the famous "Anxious In quirer," a very learned man, and the most eloquent man in his State. t His district will send him to Con gress this year. Representative Coth ran, of the third, will resign to accept c the appointment of division counsel of I the Richmond & Danville Railroad in t South Carolina. But he is staying in Congress now to 0 keep up the I)emocratic column and to make the quorum of the Houseas high E as posible. After this session, howev- t er, Mr. Cothran will send his resigna tion, and Mr. Benet will be tendered t the seat. Such at least is the contident opinion of well informed South Carolinians, and they add that a better man could not be chosen. rAugusta Chronicle.] Hon. W C. Benet passed through Augusta yesterday. He has niany friends in this city who desire to see him spread his sails to catch the con gressional breeze now blowing in his district. If Georgia votes could elect him, he would be Judge Cothrai's successor. [Greenville News.] Mr. Benet, of Abbeville,las evident ly captured the Georgians. Many of the admirers of the distinquished Ab bevillian on the other side of the Sa vannah wonld probably like to follow the example of 1S76 by crossing over and helping to send him to Congress from the Third District. SALUDA (EDGEFIELD COUNTY) WANTS JOHNSTONE. [Denny Cor., Johnston Monitor.] We notice Judge Cothrai speaks of resigning his seat in Congress. If so we trust that our neighbor George Johnstone, of Newherry, will receive the nomination. He was second inf the other race and ought to have beeni first. We people on SalaUda honor George Johnstone, and will do all we can to secure his election. He certainly has the brain, prestige and every other f q ualification to reflect honor on our tate, and we trust the whole up-coun try wil' whoop up George Johnstone. Letter from Roanoke.3 Editor Herald and News:-! suppose life is pretty much the same the world over. In some respects the above is so( and in others it is not. But for the( resent the above will be admitted. 1890 is here, and with it every one set tIes do'wn to realities and hum drum of life, that of earning daily bread by a the sweat of honest toil. With the new year Roanoke city has put on a great deal of new life. During a my absence here and my stay in Pros perity quite a number of changes were made.

OME FACTS ABOUr THE PRIZE ACRE Al OF CORN. apt. Drake, of Marlboro- Tells How He Beat the Record. [Specirl to Augusta Chronicle.] CoLUMBIA, S. C., Jan. 10.-The de artment of agriculture has received rom the American Agriculturist a uplicate copy of the report made by b 'apt. Z. J. Drake, of Marlboro County, A relation to his wonderful crop of of 54 49-56 bushels of corn from,- one acre f land. ro Capt. Draka was a competitor, and fa ill doubtless be the winner in the YE ontest of the $500 in gold offered by 1S 'he Agriculturist for the largest yield Se f corn from one acre. To this, if won ea y a South Carolina planter, the state! oard of agriculture will add $50) more di a gold, and, in any case, will award a b rize of $100 to the Sobc Carolina th lanter raising the largest yield of corn or rom one acre, if the great prize is not f von by a farmer of this state. Some teresting facts are contained in Capt. 01 )rake's report. The land used was of a to andy character, naturally drained, se rith a gentle slope and northern ex-: osure. The former growth upon the and had been oak, hickory and long t eaf pine. Preparations were made for rrigation, but it was not found tieces arv. - Capt. Drake says the season was early ,nd wet, as compared with other years, .r nd the best season fur corn he ever C :new. The value of the land employed "t revious to its recent improvement by I1 ertilizers was only $8, and a crop of f orn raised upon it a few years back a mounted to but five bushels to the " cre. Indeed, the plantation of which th lie acre is a part once bore the name of " 'Starvation farm." st 01 TilE w'TNESSES. The three witnesses who swear to to he accuracy of the account of the har- of ,esting and measuring of the crop are: St . B. W. Dunn and J. W. Reynolds, m f Red Hill, and John J. Tant, of Blen- ei ein, S. C. These witnesses saw all a he operation of plucking the corn, tr tusking, etc., and they each selected nt average lot of ears from diflerent tr )artsof the field and then weighed out tl: xactly 100 pounds of ears which were m hen shelled. The result was used at w ;etting an average per 100t pounds for w he whole yield of the acre. One 100 tl >ounds of ears produced SO.k poun ds of tr :ernels and 19A of cobs; another. 82 at )ounds of kernels and IS pounds of It :obs, and the third lot S.' pounds of be ternels and 16}' pounds of cobs. This w ade an average of about 32 pounds of sl ternels and 10 pounds of cobs to each 00 pounds of ears. ti WELL FERTILIZED. w Upon the land was used avast amount ti if fertilizer, more, indeed, than it seems )ossible to have been taken tip by the n rowing crop, and, the theory is, a he arge crop-say 200 bushels of corn- C .ould be raised on the same acre next le rear, with little or no additional fertiliz- T ng material being put on. T The crop planted the preceding year as cotton, and the report gives the at ertilizers used to produce the corn as h' ollows: Stable manure, 1000 bushels: b ,otton seed, 600 bushels; manipulated w uano, 1066 pounds, cotton seed meal, f' >66- pounds; German kainit, 66? cl ounds. Most of this was broadcasted, t he cotton seed being us^d in the drill l nly. In addition to the foregoing, 200 C )ounds acid phosphate, 200 pounds tmmoniated bone, and 400 pounds - nitrate of soda wats used. EXPENSE AND PROFIT.G The financial showing made gives an ~xcess of cost of production over the ~alue of product, but allowing for the ertilizinig properties still left availa ble a the soil, a net profit of $.50 at least vould be left for the acres's yield this ear. fr The figures given as to cost are as a ollows: ti: nterest on land at 6 per cent....$1 50 >owing............................ 4 00 " Iarrowing......................... 200t )ther labor preparing land...1 00 alue stable manure used......51 00 W aluable fertilizers or substances other than stable manure used.. 169 92 P~ ost of applying stable manure... 2 00 cL ~ost ofapplyingother fertilizers. .5 00 1s ost of seed......................1 00 ost of cultivating................ 9 00 B )ther labor caring for crop.......1 00 ost of harvestinig............... 8 00 Trotal cost prod uetion...$264 42. ti re The estimated value of the crop isr iven as below: Value of 2.54 49-56 bushels of corn at i 5 cents per bushel............ $191 16 Value of 11 tons of fodder nd( tops at $1 ~per ton.......... 15 00 a c * ~ $266 16 ac __to A pparent loss..............$ 58 26 Trhe Agriculturist will nmake the ward about Jan. 17, and the result at ill be telegraphed to the department f agriculture here as soon as made.

R. .xpected to Break Out in a New Place, and More, not only Through Trains to Cincinnati, but Double Daily and Sunday Local Trains. [Special to News and Courier.] 'oLU l A, January 12.-The C'oluni t and ( Greenville Railroad and its anches traverse a very large section the most prosperous territory in uth ('arolina, yet while other rail Ads have doubled and trebled their ilities for travel during the last ten ars, this line has jogged along since 10 on substantially the saie old edule of one regular week-day train eh way and none on Sundays. When er people have asked why this line :1 not run Sunday trains they hare en vaguely and unofficially informed at there was something in its charter in the statutes of the State which -bade such a concession to the spirit progress by this particular road. her railroads have invaded its terri rv and reported a double daily pas ger schedule every day in the week, ton the Columbia and Greenville's ies there is writ for over fifty days of e year "no thorouglfaru." For thirty 'hours every week no passenger, atever his emergency, can be trans rted over the (olunibia and Green lie Road. llte capab,ilitics of the line ei not developed. It is not the public nvenience it was intended to he, and ich the rush of business in 1890 de ands that it should be. Is it not time r a change? Some good people may Id do object to Sunday trains, but by should all the roads but one run em and that one be kept out of line it h the others. If we are to have a rit Sunday law, let it be a general ie, without discrimination. But whatever opinion may exist as the reason for this long "bottling up" the Columbia and Greenville on imdavs, it is ascertained that there is excuse for it in law. Neither in the arter nor in the General Statutes can y prohibition of Sunday passenger ins be found. New lines, which will run daily ins, are cutting into the territory of e road, and a change will have to be ade to meet their competition, and to in for it the legitimate business to hich it is entitled. The llureau hopes at the day is near when passenger tins will~ he run over the Columbia id Greenville seven days in the week. not only hopes so, but has reason to lieve that in response to the public ish the authorities will inaugurate ich a schedule. More than this. It is understood that e operation of double daily trains each a over the line is under considera on at headquarters, and will probably determined upon. What a conve ence it would be if passengers could ave Charleston at 5 P. M. and reach reenville early next morning, or ave Greenville late one evening and ach Charleston at 11 o'clock next day. he putting on of trains to connect at alumbia with the Charleston trains -riving here at 10 P. M. and leaving re at 6 A. M. would place the Colum a and Greenville on an equal footing ith its competitors, and by greatly cilitating travel correspondingly in ease the intercourse and business be veen the sections. The proposed Char ston, Columbia, Asheville and Cin nati sleeping car arrangement will a great thing for through travel. ow let us talk up the local travel and e if we cannot have two passenger ains each way over the Columbia antd reenville every day ill the year.

MORE BLOOD IN BARNWELL. A Negro Bound to A Tree and His Brains Blown Out. [Special to the Register. BARNWELL, S. C., Jan. 11.-William Black, an inoflensive negro boy, about twenty years old, was tied to a tree, by the neck and waist, and his brains shot out, by David Ready, a white man, for having stolen some clothing from Jim Bennet. Black pleaded guilty to this offense at thl fall terni of court and served his time out ii the penitentiary, and has been home only a week. Ready, before he shof Black, knelt down and prayed for the safe deliverance of the negro's soul and that his act would be forgiven. Then he arose and blowed the boy's brains out. .Jin Bennett and his son Willie, and a man named Walker, with the-negro constable, Henry Sweat, were all standing by, witnessing the cowardly and inhuman performance of Ready.
