A Farmer Who Lives at Home.
Mr. John G. Rikard is a farmer in
this county who doces not need the ad
v'ice of Gov. Tillmn,n is he is already
in the habit of living at home. He
not only makes his "own rations' there,
but be has now sonie of the best anples
to be had from anywhere from his own
trees. They are of the variety of the
winter horse apple and the sheepnose,
and are as sound and good as the
Northern apple. He has plenty to do
his family until the spring or May ap
ple ripens.
Every farmer could v'ery easily do
the same with the proper care and at

"Our Congressman isa man of superb

dium. It does us good for Gen. Hemp
bill to talk this way, although it issus
ceptible of different interpretations. 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." All we ask in
return is for the Medium to assist us in
the election of a Governor of whom as
much can be said, or give us a primary
and we will elect him ourselves.-A. J.

HOW IS THIS, 3I. 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.

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

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.

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.

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

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
