He may have meant it tauntingly for Till uan's opponents who voted solidly for Johnstone, but I am persuaded that his "our" is used in its broadest seuse, referring literally to the whole people, and not used as the restricted editorial or factional pronoun. Johnstone was elected by the opposition to be the rep reseutative of the whole people. To be factional or partisan wou,ld be a disap pointment to a majority of those who supported him, and I am truly glad that Tillnanites, Alliancemen, and all but third party men, can speak of him as "Our Congressman."

ELLERt E A Spt-cial Act of the Legir-atnre S.'ene to Have Been Ove.looked. p - B~y special act of the Legiatc:re of --That before any levy as afor .sail sha1l be nade by the County Cominissio-':rs as aforesaid, that all counity ta-:es for or(,i nary purposes which may be assessed VpcI.n tile prope:" of the said railroad, located in tile sai county, shall be fr:st applied by the County Comi:nissioners to the pavment of the interest upon the boIds issud ~in b_lalf of said cu::y or town shin beforc anv additional assessmIent is mac'e to :av such interest or deficiency in interest. iUt .tii thee ievies snail be made at th.: 12 :ne. T',at isto -y that the tax in each towaslip in Ne'wvbe:rv County through which the Colnnb:a Newberry and Lau reus Railroad runs shall first be a)piied to the pavment of the it: rest o1 the bonds issued~ b y t u towisip .n aid of the said ra;iroad. The County Conmi;ssioners in making out their estiinate and levy one year ago ove.looked this special act and the tax on this ralroad went into the gene,-al fund and a snecial levy was made in the town ships through which it passes to meet the interest on the bonds. The tax has been paid and the railroad has paid its ta-:es. t"nder this law the town ships through which this road passes are first entitled to credit for the amount of taxes paid by this road in the several townships, and then the additional levy is to be made to meet the deficiency if any should e::ist. This is the only road in the State that has such as arrangement, but it seems to be just and fair. None , f the County Commissioners or other officials, even including Mr. Eller be, seem to have been aware of the exist ence of this special act in reference to the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens Rail road. It will all have to be straightened out and will entail additional work upon our worthy and esteemed Auditor. The return of the railroad in No. 9 Township for the year just closed was 3Y2 miles, at $5,ooo a mile. This makes 17,500 as the total value af the road in the townshin. The ordinary county tax is 3' mills, which would raise $56S.75. The interest on l. bonds issued by this township is $900. As we understand the law, there should have been a special tax in this township to pay the difTerence be tween $90o and 56S-75, which would have been considerably less than the two mills levled for this purpose. As a matter of fact the r airoad claims more thae 3' miles in No. 9 Township. The road's present return is five miles. That will more than meet the interest on the bonds without any special tax. The matter has- not vet been deter mined upon nor the law interpreted by the ofticials. There will be some difficulty in con plying with the law in one respect. The railroad levy is made in July and the other in November. This is the first year the railroad has paid, and the funds will have to be dis tributed. To Our Friends and Customers.

I lta:ve lived in Newberry (o~i ty a!' my life ex'e-pt a few vas, a:mi ntil last week had n.-vei had the pleasure of a visit t-) M Teo hou. Thlat is if the cou!try aov Cro:er's st.re is properly known as Millohon. On last Thursday afternoon, through the kinlness of :iheritT Rser and in conlpaty with him, I had the upllPportunify of a trio through thissec 1i.i. I was n,t in ii hanlsutiLeia1ly. !it knowing the country -tiid the pe+ lelc, :md knowing I wtted to ." ie k::,il}" drove m e Upthr-ur'. :ive point hei'i:, the 0''V t%ow of \.liit miires on the G., C. & N. railroad. T!1 CsUNTY. It was a fint Aft-rnoon, thewi!'-i was bra'-inm and the w:irimi rays of the sun made the trip a d-i:htiI one. After we pia'l Beth Eien church the country oec,omres rather ro!ii:g and it is up one hill and down another. In fact one ctilI truly say he was among the red hills of No. 4. This is a laf,e township in area-I suppose the largest in the coulty. The land originally was very productive and where it has been properly cared for still is. but in many places the soil has washed from the hills. Before the war the farmers of this see tion were large I:midowners. wealthy and prosperous. This fact p'osibly has been a disadvantage to this section since the war as many of the large plan tations an I eletant country residences have t' '.eei kept up, the owners, after 11' reedon of the slaves, not be ing able to do it.. But there ar e still some very fine lands in this section and mainy of the farmers are pro-pering, despite the hard tiites, as one c':i read ily see from the app"arance of tc "rm homes. T RE OADS. In many places the roadsi need ed attention. Some of them had re cently been worked just enough to make then rough, and in others they had not been worked at all. The bridge across Indian Creek near Cromer's, needs attention and putt'ng in posi tion. The Commissioners should have a bridge buih :.cs U:lder's creek on the same road just beyond where Dr. R. C. Carlisle now lives. The bridge across Duncan's Creek at MeCarley's old mill needs to be a new bridge. It is c"ncid ered by some to be dangerous and it certainly has that appcaranc. These are only suggestions and The Her ald and News hopes it w ill not be considered as meddling. One thing that impressed me was the large number of colored people that owned their own farms. I suppose they have paid for themu. We spent the night with the HON. JNO. W. SCoTT, and :.lthough be: was not expecting us, yet we were welcome at his home, and he and his good wife"ntertained us right well. The appearance of nice country cured ham was evidence that Mr. Scott did not depend on the West for his bacon. He has a fine farm in good condition and is prospering. He has a beautiful view of the surrounding country from his home, and I was told that on a clear day you could get a flue view of the Blue Ridge from this emi nence. He is living on the lands upon which his grandfather set'ed when he came from Ireland about a century ago. MIr. Scott is an influential man in his comnmunity. Mr. Sam Atchinson camne in during the evening and re mained with us until past midnight. We talked pleasantly about a good many things, and among others was SOME POLITICS. Mr. Kctt said he had not talked polin tis before since he camne home from the! Legislature. The people were too busy getting ready to make another crop to have mruch to say about politics. MIr. Scott thought Gov. Tillman about as strong in his community as he was two ears ago, and fronm what I could iather I was forced to the conclusion that his estimate was not far wrong, al thogh there was very little being said a bout it. We did not agree on all topics, ut we parted, I hope~), good-friends. No. 4 will scarely be represented in the effoirt to get up delegates to the March conivcntionl which has just been called. But our objective point was TlfE TowN OF wIIITMIRIES, on the G. C. & L. a.nd on Fiamorn iig we drove there, a distance of six miles. This section of country has no great boom on it and sma:ll villagss do not spring at once itto large cities, but the growth as a rule is steady and sure. There was for a long time a country store at the Whitmire residence only a short distance from the present town. But in these days of rai lroadls and bad public roads the count ry store is disap peaing. in August, 1h90, the Georgia, Carolina and Northern railroad was completed throtugh this section and a station was established known as Whit mires ; soou the stores followed and the town came. Th'e land uoon which the dep1ot was made belonged to MIr. E. C. Briggs, of Clinton. Soon the streets were laid otut and lots were sold and build ings erected. The town wvas incorpo rated by A':t of the last Legislature and em braces a half mile each way fro.n the depot. It is a "dr town" by act of in corporaton. The town is bound to grow itnto a first class business centre. t is eighteen mciles from Newberry, the same distance from Clinton and abott t he same from Union. These are the on ly t,wns of any size near,'oy and thent it is srrTonded by a good and fertile see tion of coun try. The G., C. & N. is a torouTh line and( good rates can be secur od. With no envy to WhitnmiresI can't help remarking that Newberry missed her opportunity when she failed to se cure this road. Whbitmires is in New bcrryCouty,but not far from theUnion 'ne and no great distance fro:n Lau res. Enhorce River is the dividing line between Union and Newberry, and as there is soion to be a free bridge across the river, it will no longer be a barrier. THlE FIRST SToRE open-iat Whlitmnires waos by Speacr man & Tidmiarsh, in November, 18090. They did a good business. MIr.

These two are the largest business houses in tihe p)lac~e at present, and if the men cennected with them are not all natives of the county, they have been with tus for a long time. Bl. F.

THE NEW DEPOT was not completei until December, 190, and by the way it is a very nice One, too, farsuperior to ours in Newber ry. Mr. D. May is the agent, telegraph operator and express agent. MJr. Jas S. Spearman is postmaster. He is a native of No. 6, and lives just out of the corporate limits in the old Whitmire homestead. THE HOTEL is conducted by Mr. A. C. Lyles who came to Whitnires from Union, though a native of Fairfield. THE SCHOOL is taught by Mrs. Mamie Sims a very intelligent and accomplished Woman and I would judge a good teacher. The school building, I was told, was burned a short time ago, and I can't help re marking here that another is greatly needed and should be built at once. CHURCHES. At present,there is nochurch building in the town although there is regular preaching on each third Sunday by Rev. J. W. Blanton, and on the fourth by Rev. J. W. McClure. Duncan's Creek Baptist clhurch has been pulled down and will be moved to Whitmires soon, and I suppose the Presbyterians will build and the Methodists are speak lug of building. NEW BUILDINGS. A little more than twelve months ago there was but one old building in the town. Now there are about a dozen store buldings and places of business, and several new neat residences. Among those who are now building are Messrs. H. E. Todd, Chas. Tid marsh, J. C. Duckett, and S. R. Crawford. CITY FATHERS. The last of January the first City Council for the town was elected, as fol lows: Mayor, John P. Fant; Aldermen -H. E. Todd, Dr. R. R. Jeter, Charles Tidmarsh and B. F. Morrow. In addition to the justice th.t is dis pensed through the channels of the town council, Mr. Jas. S. McCarley, Trial Justice, also has his office at Whitimires, where he holds the scales of justice with an even hand. OBSERVATIONS. I am gad I went to Whitmires, for several reasons. It was a delightful trip. The people were kind and hos pitable, and I was sorry my stay had to be so short. I am glad of the pleas ure of the personal acquaintance of the new-comers to our county who have cast their lot with us. It was a pleas ure to meet old friends. And- then a good many more copies of The Herald and News will go to Whitmires than have been going. The return trip was made by adiffer ent route. We came back by way of Cadwell's. The road from Whitmires to Gibson's is rough an]d hilly most of the way. From Gibson's to Newberry the road is the best in the county. The farmers were busy turning the soil and getting ready for the next crop. otton land was being prepared, and there was not much evidence o'f a re duction of the acreage. Along the routes we went and re turned are some magnificent country residences that had traces and evi dences of wealth and luxury in days gone by. They must have been charm ing homes wvhen they were properly kept up and cared for. But alas ! how true in most cases, the appearance now indicntes a lack of attention and a de gree of carelessness. Is it r.ot a sadI fact that too many of our farmers are too indifferent to the comfort of their homes and are too prone to let t hings go to rack as it were? If more attention was given to beauti fing the home, and giving the place a bright and attractive appearance, it would add much io the happiness of their lives, and there would not he such a tendency to move to town. It seems so to me. It would not cost much. There must be a cause for this indiflerence. What can it be? I have often wondered what. Some one has suggested that it is because in nearly every case there is a mortgage on the home, or it is in a lawsuit and the owner does not know howv long he can claim it as his own, or whether he will ever be able to lift that mortgage. Can this be true? I hope not. E. II. A CLL. SEED POTATOEs! Early Rose, .Burbanks, Goodrich, at S. B. JONES. News from silver street. Tillman zot the goluden win~ge.

Hie was the son of .Jacobm Cleland. one of our highly respect -d coloredl citizens, and largest farmer of this place. On last Tuesday, 2:rd, Mr. W.H. Werts found in hmis pasture the body of1 an infant, wrapped in a cro;cus sack, in a hole in the creek, whi-h was said to be the child of Aun Til rib,ble, colored. She gave birthI to the child two hours before day Tuesday morning, about forty yards from the creek, and was traced to the place wvhere sh~e threw the child in. Immediately after its birth she wvent to her house, which was in Mr. WVerts' yard. and remained there until eveui ng, w hen she started towards the porture again. Mr. Werts, being attracted by her strange action, follow ed her. She went to the place where she had thro-vn the child, and looked in. Mr. Werts also went to the place, and had the child taken out. The cor oner was sent for, and upon his arrival next day an iniquz-t was hebL' The jtry pronounced the verdict that tbe child canme to its death through the crimnal neglect of its mother. Ann Tribb,le has always been said to be of a desprate nature. This is the fourth child she hias givea birth to, and she is said to have destroyed them all, a' peraips it could~ be proven against her. The colored peorile of the commrunity are very bitter against her, and for little she would have heeni lynehed. She was put under arrest. and wili be taken to jail as soon 4s she becon1em well enough to be moved. PA:. Helena Heralding". Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Byrd have re turned from a visit to Parks, S. C.

The brilliant celestial stcne on the evening of the 6th ultimo, witnessed hcre as elsewhere, was thus happily alluded to by the (January 30) Scien ti ic American in its "Position of the Planets": "A minute of arc in a tiny bit ofs y, rid the pianets would seeinto make an appulse, or touch each other, if we could see them, but they are below the horizon at the tirme of the conjunc tion. ** The conjunction comes near being an occultation-a very rare occur rence between twc. planets, of which there are few instances on record. The moon occults every mouth all the stars and planets that lYe in her pathway. Planets sometimes occult stars, but a planet occulting a planet, or even com ing as near as Venus does to Jupiter, is a pheno'uenon to be remembered for a li f*-timie." Prof. Lochner siys "the disturbed area on the sun's surface covers 140..00 miles in length and from 60,000 to 100, 0)0 in width. The principal spot has two nuclei, each hf.ving a diameter of about 14,000 miles, while the penum bra around the principal spot had an extreme width of 65,000 miles." Prof. Hicks in his late forecasts of the weather, intimated the sudden, fre quent and extreme conditions of tem perature, and said "even now, as I write, it is with pain that I note the great destruction of life, both of man andl beast. May He wvho rules the starry-stormy skies protect us all." It goes without saying that we are passing through stormy, trying times! The elements about us as well as those above us and beneath us are disturbed. And so obtuse are man- c.f us, and so absorbed and disturbed with and about the little hillocks that we cannot see the momentous questions that should engage us. While we should be cheer ful and brave-hearted, it were well to get from off an incline plane of levity and dissipation at i time like the pres ent. SASS SocCI.
