THE THIRD DISTRICT. In redistricting the St'ate by the last Legislature no change was made in the H third district, of wh ch Newberry is a part. a We are way down at one end and have had only one congressman since the war' r and then for only one term. And yet c< when you take into consideration railroad h connection we are as near Walhalla as we are Saluda or Union, both adjoining counties. We make no complaints of the a com. osition of our district Recent events a a in politics show that our people do not v select men on account of their geograph ical location. The Piedmont section has a majority of the white vote in the State, and yet there is no man holding a State office at present from that section. Men S shou4d not be elected to public office on account of their geograpical location, but on account of their fitness. In the third district this year the indi cations are that we are going to have P plenty of material from which to select Thus'far there are at least seven candi dates actually in the race already, -,ith a pos-ibility of two more at least and may be several more who have not yet been mentioned. Every county in the district t has at least one candidate except Green- d wood. The following are announced, and already waging an active campaign: From t Abbeville, Wm N. Gray don, Wyatt Aik en and I. H. McCalla. From Anderson, c E. M. Rucker, Jr., and Geo. E. Prince. From Pickins, R. F. Smith. From Oco nee, Wm. J. Stribbling, whose card ap pears in this issue of The Herald and t News. It is probable that Newberry will have at least two-Geo. S Mower and C. T. Wyche. This makes a sufficient army to have a little campaign of their own. They will all app ar before the people and present their claims for the office of congressman from the third dis trict. t A rather peculiar state of affairs exists in the mills in the Horse Creek Valley, near Augusta. The operatives have been shut out and the mills closed by the own ers, and from no cause on the part of the t operatives. The operatives of the King t Mills in Auguta demanded an increase r in wages of ten per cent and went on a s strike because the request was not grant ed. The mill owners in the Horse Creek Valley, because the strike was on in Au gusta, closed their mills and turned some two thousand people out of employment, r though there was no request for an in- - crease in wages, -and the operatives them- f /seves say they are perfectly satisfied with , the pay, and had no intention of asking t an increase, and now insist that they arei ni t being treated with proper considera- t *tion, for they are in no wise resp nsible ~ for the strike in another State, and de- r sire tpo return to their work at the same ~ rate of wages they were receiving before ~ We think their cause is just. They f certainly should have some consideration in this matter. They left their farms, t many of them, with the understanding ~ that their positions should be permanent ~ so long as they gave satisfaction. Now ~ they are unceremoniously shut out for noc cause on their part, but simply because t the operatives in another ,State have de- ~ manded an increase in wages. We can see no justice in it. They say themselves ~ if this thing continues very long there will r be want and suffering. Action like this on the part of the mit1 ownerr is one of the a things likely to give us labor troubles. As t it appears to us we can see no justifica- a tion for the mill owners. If the operatives ~ in their mills are satisfied with the treat-t ment and the pay and assure :the owners that they have no intention of demand- a ing a raise in wages, and are in no wise responsible for the strike in Augusta they should not be ma.1 to suffer for it. This matter should be easily adjusted, and in d the first place should never have oc- t curred-. We notice from the Abbeville papers d that that town has just started the wheels of a fnrniture factory. The plant costs $20,ooo and the capital stock is all paid ~ up and is owned by home people. Fur-t niture factories have been very profitable when properly managed, and there is no reason why such a factory should not pay in Newberry. The H andle and Shuttle i factory will be sold in the near future, and if some one with experience could ii get hold of this plant and then enlarge it t and add the manufacture of furniture and also make brooms we believe it could be made the best paying institution in the i city. There is good and up-to-date ma- 1 chinery in the Handle and Shuttle facto ry, and all it needs is some one to run it who understands the business and wille give it his attention. This is an oppor- tl tunity for some good man to make money. a< We regret to hear of the accident which % has happened to Mr. P. M. Brice, of Co- " lumbia, by which he has to have one of nl * his legs amputated. He is one of the ti cleverest newspaper men in the State, and s1 we hope he may be restored to health. Ii The democratic clubs will meet on Sat- jki urday to reorganize and elect delegates |w to the county convention. There should |s be a full attendance at the club meetings.

This th Reeyi o aeb V ehm&f COL. JNO. F. HOBBS on a V!stt to Newberry VIth His Fami 11 -Give4 an Inte resting Interview to The Herald and News. Col. Jno F. Hobbs and his family are i a visit to his old home. le is accom mnied by his wife and (laughter. Col obbs is a graduate of Newberry collegt id always takes a de--p interest in hi ma mater. Some of the most valuab< lies in the museum at the college wer )tributed by him which he gathered it is tours in foreign lands. For two year e was the classmate of the editor of thi, aper, though he graduated in a clas! ead of us. Col. Hobbs is now editoi Lid part owner of the National Pro sioner, a leading trade journal of Nev ork, and his home is in that city. H doing well and leaves today for Dallai here he goes as a delegate to the Cottoi eed Crusher Convention. With all of hi access in the world he has never lost hi iterest in or his love for the people of hi ative state where he bas many friend -ho are always glad to see him.- If hi Ian to develop the power on Broad rive cceeds it will mean a great deal for thi ction and for the state Col. Hobbs says that he is "in tL outh on a centralization of power an' idustrial trip, trying to get togethe iaterial or facts which will enable hin ) perfect arrangements for a grand in ustrial scheme for development of th arious.communities or small sections c e South where such a group of entez rises can be operated together economi ally and toadvantage. Certain Noitherl eople, capitalists and manufacturers iachinery and installation plants, ar iking quite an intert-st in the details < is Southern industrial developmen heme. For instance, there is unde ffer to me in case the objections to th resent working model are overcome, ovel suspended power generator whic ill make possible the utilization of th Fater powe r of. Broad river, near th Iobbs' plantation,withont the necessity c be conventional canal. Power could b ransmitted from there to all points withi radius of 25 or 30 mi:es-electric powei f course. The purpose is to build an perate a group of small enterprises in o djacent to certain prosperous commun: ies,the farmers being asktd to suppoi ese by co-operation more than with thei :ioney The foilowing may be taken as ample of the nest of small enterprise 7hich can be operated at one point for tb enefit of the surrounding people: "First, a small cotton oil mill Secon compound lard, butter and oleomarge ie factory. Third, a small cold-storag r warehouse for gathering and storin arm produce, such as eggs, poultry egestables and fruits, gathering them a he time when the farmer has a surplu u spring, summer and fall, distributio o be made in Northern markets, summne esort hotels and in winter in the genera rarkets. Fourth, a beef cattle feedin tation, and a hog feeding station. Fiftk fertilizer factory. Sixth, an ice factor or purposes of refrigeration. 'All of these enterprises work i: brough each other. For instance, a con iund lard factory and the dairy utilize per cent. of the cotton oil; the beef feed rg station takes off a per cent of th otton seed meal and cake, while the fer ilizer factory consumes the balance. Th tog feeding stati6n also takes off a pe ent of the meal and the buttermilk o kim milk of the dairy The oleoniarga in factory takes a per cent, of the cot n oil, a per cent. of the oleo oil bee tation, and a per cent. of the hog lard ii be neutral oil. A soap factory may b< dded to utilize the residue or foots o be cotton seed oil and certain grades c llow of the beef station Each of thes< lants will be small, limited to a smnal rea and driven by the common powe enerated in Broad river "Machinery people of the North are iing to establish these bunches of in ustries to gather, couserve and enhanc< de waste prodcuts of-the farm, if I cai how them that there is sufficient surplu: f supplies for them, and that these in usries will work profitably one into th< and of the other. "I am now gathering the inforinatior r this purpose and endeavoring to es iblish a complete inter-linking chain o 2s gr up of farm developing industriei >r certain sections of South Carolina 'or instance, a farmer has a beef animal will not'be profitable for him to fatter ne animal andjdraw attractive buyers foi at a profitable figure. He now sell: iat ainimal at about three cents, liv< 'eight, at most. If he had a central sta on to which he could drive that animna could be sold with the herd or .similar collected animals, at anywhere fron e to six cents per pound, standing eight. Farmers will take eight to ter mts per dozen for their fresh eggs al eir farms in the sumnmer while northerr imer resort hotels are paying as mued :thety cents per dozen for the same .-some northern farm produce dealei axes the difference, the South Carolina terchant only getting the brokerage inl te transaction. The farmer killing the nle steer gets a nominal price for the ide, sometimes he simply cuts it up for w-hide because he has no better mar rt for it. If he had a central station to bich he could carry that hide for dispo. ion it would bring hini from $5~ to $7 ; instead of about $m, which - is more an many farmers now get for a green " do not know that anything will ever me of the above industrial project.

"I shall go t ) Dallas, Texas, where I am a delegate froim New York State to the Convention of the Inter-State Cotton Seed Crushers Association. There are about 615 cotton seed oil mills in the United States The chairman of the conc mittee on rules has asked me to be pres ent by the 25th, so as to have our rules overhauled and ready for the earliest ses sion of the convention, but as the other members of the committee on rules are very able men, I could not pull myself S away from old Newberry which I love s very dearly, and my friends, so early after r my arrival here. I will return to New s berry about the end of next week to join my family who remain behind me in the a hands of relatives and friends, and after spending a few days with my uncle, J. C. r Hope, and about my plantation, will go to Charleston to see the exposition. We will spend a week there. I consider this exposition one of the greatest incidents If in southern industrial life, and I under stand that Newberry has a notable ex - hibit there in the Woman's Building. From there we will return to New York City abAut the 20th of May to take up the running where I left it. "I am proud to say that I find much L change in Newberry for the better.
