Highest of all in Leavening Pow Roy&I SOME FIGURES. A Balance Sheet-There is Need for Us to Get Togethcr and Help Each Other. Cotton at six cents makes things look a little blue. If the people did not owe anything it would make but little diflerence, but that price for cot ton does not go f.r towards paying debts. It is well, however, to take occasion ally a balance sheet and see just how you stand. It helps in laying plans for the future and in applying the re sources you have on hand. The cotton receipts at Newberry last - year were about 17,000 bales-the total crop for the county, we suppose, was about 30,000 bales. The present crop is said to be short. I But say that the crop will reach 25,0001 bales and that the recei?ts at Newberry will reach 15,000 bales. That would give us at present prices about $750,000 for the county and $450,000 for New berry.E Now what have we got to pay with this money. The amount due the bank by the farmers is about $350,000 . and to the merchants for groceries and dry gocds is about $175,000, making a . total of $525,000. These figures are not accurate, but they are approximately correct. An other item of indebtedness that is not included in the above is the guano, which amounts in round numbers to c $50,000, which makes the total $575,000 due here in the town ofNewberry, and ] it does not include many items. To pay this there wit be sold here say 15,000 bales of cotton't $ 0 a b'ale, which only realizes $450,000. % But then we must rememnber there are some other sources of ;revenue to the farmers, such as butter,. eggs and chickens for all of which they realize considerable money. The farmers, too, this year have made in nearly every case enough corn to run them, and until this is done every year times will never get better in this country. - These figures should demonstrate one thing, that we are mutually dependent one upon the other. The farmer and . the man who lives in the country needs the merchant and the bank, and they in turn need the farmer, Let ns then cease this warfare on one another and go to work to help each other and thereby help ourselves.

Something is said very frequently about, the lien law, and its bad effects on the one hand are discussed, while on the other we are frequently told that it is the great boon of the poor man. Possibly some persons would be in terested in knowing to what extent that law is used in Newberry County. We have endeavored to ascertain that fact and will give you the result of our investigation on that line. During the present year there have been recorded in the Clerk's office at Newberry, 2,371 liens for advances of supplies-rations-bread and meat and corn, and possibly some little clothing and dry goods. The total amount which these 2,371 liens represeat is in round numbers $178,000. That will take, at the present price, about six thousand bales of cotton. We don't know whether this lien law has been of any benefit to these 2,371 persons in Newberry County or not, but they were not compelleu to i use it unless they wanted to. The average amount of each lien is not over $80 For Bent. Nice five-room cottage, new, neatly finished, on Caldwell street. For terms, etc., apply to tf. T. Q, BOOZER. A Newberry Sluggiag Match. Newberry has 'caught the sparring fever and on Monday afternoon there was a- stand-to between two of the Newberry youths. The town council would not permit them to charge an admission fee, but they had the spar ring all the same and passed around the hat and took up a collection. The combitants were C. C. Stewart and Robert L. Kibler. The seconds of Stewart were Henry Caldwell and Geo. G. Jones ; the seconds of Kibler were Joe. Eddy and Jno. Blats. Ref eree, H. H. Evans and time keepers, M. L. Spearman and R. H. Wearn. Each round lasted two minut-s with one for rest. The Herald and News was not present but has gained the facts from eye wit nesses. Up to the fourth round Stewart seemed to have the best of it but at the end of the match Kibler is said to have been in the lead. There were nine rounds and the game was called and no one pronounced winner. They say there was no science dis played-it was simply a slugging match. It seems to us that these young men might find better employment for the exercise of their muscle. There was a pretty good attendance and the hat collection amounted to about $1.40. C. W.

I sat (in my brown study) and watched an ant-a little guileless, in nocent ant-and I thought of the slug gard. How busy the ant. See her toiling and spinning along on the big earth. A few feet of ground must be a whole township to her, but she doesn't seem to weary in her journey as she picks up a crumb and. carries it to her home. Oh, industrious little antie. Solo mon was indeed wise when be pointed you clut to the miserable sluggard. We have some sluggards in Newber ry to-day-fit representatives of the unfit sluggards of old-men who idle away the golden hours of the day, while their wives and daughters and sisters, yea, even their mothers some times, labor, hard and wearily, for the bread that sustains them; loafing and drinking and thinking of nothing but ease, "sitting in the lurking places of the villages," while the poor women are suffering in their daily work. It is said that man was made a little lower than the angels; the sluggard must have been made much lower than the beasts. About the most contemptible specta cle on earth is an able-bodied man al lowing a woman to support him. Did I say man? No, he is no man; he is less than human. If "man's inhumanity to man makes' countless thousands mourn," what can not be said of the sluggard's inhuman ity to woman? I like to sit and watch the anut. I can sympathise with her as she buts against a rock-a stone wall to her with her big load of provisions and has to go so far out of her way to get around it, overcoming the obstacles of difficulty; like the higher order of be ing-an honest man; not the so-called superior man who lives by credit and never intends to pay his debts, and who would be nothing if it were not for the money which belongs to others -but the true ma-i, the struggling, working man, who "is a mrn for all that," whose honesty in some cases keeps him poor; the man whose chief desire is to some day pay to the last cent the every dollar that he owes, who feels humiliated by debt, and who hungers in honest adversity while often lower men feast in dishonest prosperity. Nothing funny about that. So, wherever and whenever I see the little insect which furnishes my text this week, I think of the toiling masses of humanity, and Solomon's- words seem so full of meaning, so sensible and so appropriate, when I hear them. as they are spoken: "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; con sider her ways, and be wise." It used to be that a man was not considered a success in this life unless he had accumulated wealth; but it is different now. Public sentiment has undergone a great change in that, as well as in many other respects; and it is well that it is so. A poor man and a house full of chil dren can't get rich these days with cotton at six and a half cents. But he can be an honest man; a man whose word is as good as any man's bond. And time was also when a man wasn't much In the world if he could not boast of a great-great-grandfather who had fought in some war away back yonder, or of a paternal great grandmother whose great maternal and eternal and very often infernal grandfather had accepted an invitation to dine once in some castle or other of antiquity, but It is all changed now; people have come to their senses. Stern necessity has brought to the front live reality, and The blue blood that now tells is the red blood that flows through the reins of an honest man. His rent, and wood bills, and mis fortunes, may for a time cause his in ability to pay some other bills and show himself square to those.who may doubt his integrity, but he has the con sciousness of feeling that Somethin ghas come over the spirit of the world's dreams, and the test now is: "Act well your part, there all the honor lies." In regard to poverty versus wealth, were I to say "I care not for riches, neither silver nor gold," it would no doubt be a slight exaggeration; but the prayer, "Give me neither poverty nor riches," could be considered as sin eere, in view of the inconvenience of poverty and the statement that it is harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than for a simple camel, without the p and the bell, to go through the eye of a NEEDLE.

The great necessity for Columbia to do some thing at once towards arranging for the entertainment of the visitors, and the calling of the initial meeting 0 of the fair association for that purpose, 01 was mentioned yesterday. e Now comes the secretary of the ' State Fair Society with the following. interesting announcement, directed to 1 The State: "Now, since the unprecedented po litical excitement has. to a very greatj extent subsided, r beg to say to all C who earnestly desire to assist in the t material interes.s of the State to give C their attention in arranging to become C exhibitors at. the approaching State 1 Fair, November 7th to 11th. "The -various raifroads running to I Columbia have, done more than any one class in making our annual fairs a successful; without the liberality of these lines the fairs would- have be t a failure. To them, therefore, the t thanks of the public are due. Z "My connection with the State Fair C since its organizati5n in. 1857, except during the war and for 'two years thereafter, enables me to be cognizant I of the difficulties that have been sur- C mounted in reaching the success of C which every true South Carolinian should be proud. "These annual gatherings bring our 1 people together from all seetions of the ' State to compare one with another the p.-oducts of the soil and the ~ stock raised in the various sections of our State. And it is here that our s peopl become better acquainted with ~ each other, and a strong bond of union E is thus frequently formed that ends t only in death. Then, let us, with re newed effort, be prepared to give one week to the enjoyment of this festal I occasion. "And especially is the State Fair, cal- E ulated to do good after the angry strife of this year. No kind of politics can, of itself and in itself, promote South Carolina's substantial growth. ~ The State does not now need the .orator's eloquent tongue or the poh1- - tician's promises. She needs .the-op ulent returns of workship and farm. Her heroes now in demand are the he-4 roes of foundries and the sovereigns of soil. So let us, friends and fellow citi- r zens, have a rousing State Fair. Let . us be up and doing, and see toit that g South Carolina shall not lag behind in the material march of the day. e Let her head the industrial column, 5 and make good her old motto: "Pre- 2 pared in courage and resources" to 11 meet the times in which we live. She met the time of wvar; let us, Heaven b help us, meet the better times of peace. E "THOMAs W. HOLLOWAY." t "Pomaria, S. C., Sep. 10,~1892." -t When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria.
