the State haa been made since the
publication of ‘‘Mill's
which puts down the area of Dar
lington Comity at 900 square miles*

onlv authority
whatever the u<-w County men
niH.v say to the contrary. Deduct
one third from 900, and how much
remains f A very simple Anth*
metical - problem, is it noif The
Legislature has not only given us
the light to bare the survey made,
even in the face of any objection on
the part cf the loidly autocrats iu
Florence Comity, but has distinct
ly announced that the Act stands,
provided Darlington is found to
contain the proper area. Gentle,
■ueu of Florence, treat ourCommis
siooers courteously in the negotia
tions which take place between
you concojniug this matter, or some
day you may regret it. Y< u bavVut
“the world iu a sling.” Id ^our
greed yon have cut oO too much of
Darlington Couuty, and you would
save time aud trouble by acknowl-
edgiug your error at the start. But
why talk of this when you refus.-
eveu to receive an official visit from
our Commissioners f
Sone day, however, you may be
more accomaiodating, and as we
are a patient people and have pat
up already with a good deal of
“Florence marie legislation” weea t
wait a Ip tie longer for our justifica
tion. Just remember though ;bat
we wou’t submit quietly to every
thing.

NATION'S WORKING POWtX
To the County Commissiouera of au d that the State Board of Agri*
Darlington County, S. C., Dar
lington, S. G.
Gentlemen: By instructions of
the Connty Commissioners of Flor
ence Comity, S. 0., I herewith
culture had agreed to snpplmeut
this iffer with an additional 8500,
provided the priss- is won by a
South Carolinian. The farmer who
forward yon the following copy of does best iu this State is to receive
a resolution taken from the min
utes of a meeting held by them on
February, 6, 1889.
“Whereas the Act establishing
Floreuce Couuty contains the fol
lowing proviso to section 1st.
“Provided that the Coonty Com
missioners of Darlington and Flor
ence Conntiea may cause to be
made a survey of Darlington Coun-
ton, and that the area thereof be
not reduced below six bundled and
twruty five square miles, aud
Whereas, the Couuty Comuns-
aiouers of Darlington County have
served upon this Board a notice 01
date February 4,1889, desinng that
this Board, with as little delay as
possible, jotu them iu causing to be
made a survey of Darlington Conn*
ty, and
Whereas, in the jadgmeut of this
Board of Commisaioueis based
upon a previous official survey of
Darlington Com.ty, and other on-
tborities and reliable sources of in
formation, there is no doubt that
the area of Darlington Comity is
above six hundred aud twenty five
square miles, since the cutting off
ot that portiou (hereof included iu
in Floience County. Therefore be it
Revolved, That the Board ot Conn
ty Commissioners of Florence Coun
ty, consider it totally unnecessary
to consent to or join in causing to
be made snob survey, aud there
fora decline so to do.”
Very respectfully,
E. R. Youmans,
Clerk County Com.,
Floreuce Co., 8. C*
8100, whether be “beats the world”
or not. It is said that Mr. D. M.
Smoot, whose lands are admirably
adapted to the cultivation ot corn,
will engage in the competition.
There are many other farmers in
the Comity who conld make s good
showing in this matter, an 1 it is to
be hoped that some ot the.u may
be induced :o give it a trial.
If the proviso inseited 111 the
Legislative Bill me.tus any thing at
all, it means that alter a survey ba>
been made Darliugtou Couuty must
be shown to have the coustitntiou-
al area, or the Bill will be of no
effect That an actual aurvey would
produce such a result is highly
probable, and the action of the uew
County people in “refusing to sab-
mit to a survey oi Darlington
Connty” is snfficieut evidence of
the fact that they very folly rea
lise the situation. If they think
Darlington has the required area
why don’t they acquiesce iu the
aurvey, and settle a dispute I point
once for all f Do they prefer to
have what they want at all haz
ards, rather than to obtain only
what is proved to be their due al
ter an official investigation f Would
these honorable men care to have
their new Connty unless they could
secure it legally f It would seem
that they stick dose to the word
ing of their precious aud faulty
“Act” w henever it suits them to do
so, and that, when necessary, they
steer dear of those particular clauses
which were inserted iu t.he interest
of justice and fairness, but which it
does not suit these clever gentle
men to conuteuauue. They make
the point that Charleston Couuty
does not contain the constitutional
ares, aud that, therefore, there is
ns real necessity for Darlington to
have it. Are we going to submit
to aueh a course of reasoning as
thatf We think not; that is, if we
oorreetly understand the character
of the gentlemen who compose our
Board of County Commissioners.

A Sensation in Manning.
(Manning Cor. New* nn l Courier,(
Manning, Febman 12.—Dr. H.
U. Huggins was taken very sud
denly ill in the Court House today
with rheumatism ot the heart aud
Ci.me very near dying after he "as
removed to his lions . His son,
Georg« U. Hoggings, went into
Auditor D. J. Brad ham’s office aud
struck him several blows with a
stick, -ufiiuting two p tinlul wouuds,
oue on the right hand, the ouly one
he has, and the other on the stamp
of his left arm.
Mr. Huggins, l>eing interviewed,
says that he thought bis father’s I
attack was causi-d indirectly fiom
reports circulated by Capt Brad-
ham derogatory to his fathei’s
character; that he entered the of- 1
flee, first giving notice to Capt.
Bradbatn ot bis presence and in
tentions. Capt. Bradham says
that be was in bis office with bis
back to the door making out tax
returns, and knew nothing of Hug
gins’ presence until after he struck
him. He then took up a chair and
tried to defend kim>elf as best be
could uith bis oue arm until out
siders interfered*
This is the o»ly information I
could get, a- the only eye-witness
to the affair has left town. Dr.
Hoggings and Capt. Bradham both
are resting well this evening.
Cotton Crop nearly all In,
Washington, February 11.—
The cotton returns 01 the depart-
meut of agriculture make the aver
age close of the picking season six
days later than last year on account
of the later maturity of the crop
aud frequeut rains. In many conn
ties in the Southwest the crop has
not yet been fully harvested. Care-
fu cousolidation of returns makes
the proportion marketed 84.3 per
cent., the average of St tea being
as follows: Virginia 83, North Car
oliua 84, South Carolina 85, Geor
gia 86, Florida 87, Alabama 85,
Mississippi 82, Louisians 83 Texas
85. Arkansas 84, Teunesece 83
The staple is shorter than last
year, aud there is more discolored
aud trashy fibre. The caterpillar
and boll worm have been widely
distributed, but the destruction
caused by them has been greatly
limited by insecticide.
Seed lias been sold at 12 to 16
ceuts per bushels near lines of rail
road, mostly by tenants, proprie
tors finding it more valuable for
feeding and fertilizing purposes.
E»rr-y at Varlou* CountrlM Katlmwted to
Fout Tuna—Aa KnalUUman’* Trtbuto.
Among tlte many scientific papers read
nt tlit* recent meeting of the British asso
ciation in Bath, none possesses a higher
il«*gree of interest than tho brief mono
graph of Mr. Michael G. Mulhall on the
“Growth of American Industries and
Wealth. ” It is all the more interesting
because it is the work of a distinguished
English statistician, and so must be re
garded os free from any blemish of pa
triotic exaggeration.
To look upon the picture which Mr.
Mulhall gives of the astonishing life,
wealth and energy of the United States
stirs the blood. In every one of the
three,principal sources of newer—man,
horse and steam—we greatly exceed the
leading nations of Europe, as will be
seen from this table of Mr. Mulhall’s,
sliowing the aggregate energy of the
principal nations in millions of foot tons
daily:
Countries Hand. Hone. Steam. Total.
United State* 8,454 83,800 48,400 80.454
United Kingdom.. .M90 8,700 03,000 W,#3C
France 5,880 8,500 18,150 00,840
Germany 0,000 10,500 10,800 87,W
An inspection of this table shows that
in round numbers the working power of
the United States is three times as great
as that of France, two and one-half times
as great as that of Germany, and one
and two-thirds times as great as that of
the united kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland. It is equal to that ot the two
greatest of the older nations combined.
If there were any danger of the re
public’s putting forth its gigantic strength
in aggressive warfare, there would be a
panic terror among the powers across the
ocean, that a hundred years ago beheld
its birth with Indifference or contempt
Moreover, as Mr. Mulhall shows, the on
paralleled growth of this country has
only begun:
“At present the increase of Industry,
energy and wealth goes on unabated.
The next census in 1890 will probably
show a population of 08,000,000, with an
aggregate energy of almost 100,000,000,-
000 of foot tons daily, and an accumulated
wealth of 14,000,000,000 sterling, figures
never before applicable to any nation in
the world.”
Uncle Sam's boys are not given to
vainglorious boasting as much as tl
used to be, and perhaps one reason
tliat there is no nebd for them to boast
A power like that which this republic
now possesses speaks for itself, and al
the world heeds it The moral force
on:mating from such an enormous ag
gregate of physioal energy is un
measurable. There is not a move
ment for political enfranchisement
on the face of the globe that
docs not feel itself strengthened by the
infiuence of the United States. It k
glorious to be a dtlsen of such a coun
try, infinitely more glorious than to have
been a Roman citisen at the height of
tin? Roman renownl
Well, all this splendor of national de
velopment, which the British men of
science have just hod displayed for their
admiration and wonder, the people of
the United States have created for them
selves, and they have created it by ex
tending the same lines ot progress which
their forefathers struck out a century
ago.—New York Sun.

Mr. Oldeubnrg; a Charleston
merchant, was shot in bis store and
brutally murdered by two uegrrs-s ,
who attempted to rob his till on '
Saturday night last. The crime

night while the ueigbiMirhood was
crowded with pnsaers by. By the
vigilance of the police the murder-
erj were aneMed and are now in

Let us suppose now, tor a moment, we
are living in a German village. At 6
o’clock you will see the farmer take his
first meal, consisting ot * weak coffee,
which is very often composed of coffee
and roasted wheat, and in which milk is
largely used. He will take to this coffee
some slices of brown brand morn bread
with jam, or with butter, lard, etc.) At
9 o’clock another meal will oe served,
for ns people had already done some hard
work by that time they want another
meal This second breakfast may con
sist of slices of brown (rye) bread with
butter and ham, or butter and cheese, or
butter with eggs, or bread with bacon or
sausage only, to which aa a rule by the
male members of the family—very sel
dom by females—either a small gloss of
“schasps” (corn brandy! or some very
weak beer ia partaken of.
An average peasant family, number
ing five heads, would about consume per
year, two fat pigs, four or five geese,
perhaps a few ducks, about half a dozen
old hens and a dozen young ones, two
dozen young pigeons. Pork is In stock
all the year round, as well in form of the
well known “sausage” as in the shape
of bacon, ham, etc. It will be smoked
in order to keep. As to the yegetabies
used, I must say people know better to
appreciate their value than in England
or America. It is really astonishing to ob
serve the Ignorance which prevails here,
especially among the poorer classes in
England, upon such^natters. There an
thousands of people in England, who
never saw in their lives a Haricot bean,
I*a or turtle—living oo nothing bat mut
ton chops, beefsteak, pie and cheese.
This is antirely different in Germany.
Cereals and pulses an largely used, and
there is a healthy variety in the bill of
fare. It will not happen very often that
the same dish is served for dinner twice
a week. I remember having read once
in a medical book—I forget whether it
was by Professor Gork or Bedam—that the
rural people in Thurvingia and Saxonia
had the best natural instinct for the choice
of their foods, and that the mixture ob
served by this people could be put down
as a standard for any other people by
any physician. —Pupke fat Herald of
