HILL'S OPPORTUNITY. The nomination of Grover Cleveland leaves but one course for David B. Hill to pursue. He should fall into line like a good Democrat and work for the party’s nominee. If he wishes for himself a successful political future he must do this and we believe he is wise enough to see it. Should Cleveland lose New York, which we do not think will be the case, Hill’s political death knell will be sounded. From one end of this great country to the other the people will accuse him of treachery and he will never be forgiven. Hill is responsible for the schism in the New York Democracy and Cleveland’s failure to carry New York will be due to him. He, therefore, has but one way open to him, he should make amends for the trouble he has caused in the party by support ing the nominee loyally. If Hill and Tammany earnestly support Cleveland, the latter can carry New York, and if he carries that State, Hill will ge much of the credit for it. The party will then owe him a debt, which it will have to pay, but should he prove false his leader ship will be forever forfeited. Hill is a young man and can afford to wait four years for the Presidential nomination which may be conferred upon him if he assists in Cleveland’s election. He must know that his fortunes are thus linked with Cleveland’s, and being a shrewd politician, he will press all and give which they have originated. The grand jury of New York has indicted Rev. Thomas Dix on, formerly of North Carolina, but now a prominent minister of that city, for criminal libel. He said in a sermon that Excise Commissioner Kock is “the big gest scoundrel of all the board and should be in the penitenti ary.” J. J. Brooks, a well known lawyer, died in horrible agony at the Bichloride of Gold Institute in Memphis on Thursday night. The symptoms resembled hy drophobia. He was under treat ment for the whiskey habit. This institute is not under the control of Keeley, the discover er of the famous cure. STATE NEWS. And Gathered From Our Exchanges, Put in Paragraphs. A colored boy died last week in Orangeburg county from hy drophobia. Dr. Philip A. Wilhite, a prom inent physician of Anderson, died on Saturday. Mr. W. B. Smith, the richest citizeh of Charleston and the wealthiest man in the State, died in Thursday. Dr. A. B. Rose, an eminent physician and highly esteemed citizen of Charleston, committed suicide on Sunday night. Rousing meetings were held throughout the State last week to ratify the nomination of Cleveland and Stevenson. William Baxter, a resident of Columbia, was run over and killed by a train in Charleston on Tuesday night of last week. The Prohibitionists are organ izing in the different counties and mass meetings will be held generally throughout the State. On Friday lightning struck the house of Mr. E. W. Davis, at Allison’s Ferry, on the Pee Dee River, in Florence county, and his wife and son were kill ed. Mr. B. F. Perry, editor of the ” j Greenville Demo, rat, was bad- - 'i ly injured in a railroad wreck personal resentment near Valparaiso, Ind, on Sun- aid to the party’s day. He was on his return is of the same opinion still,’ would apply to his case. How ever, I will give him a few fig ures and some undeniable facts. To raise cheap horses and hogs, the first thing to do is to prepare for it. For an illustra tion. Take five acres of ordina ry land with plenty of good, fresh water. Set apart three acres of this for growing mul berries and plums, and the other two acres plant in an assorted variety of grapes. The third year you get a fair crop of grapes, the fourth year your mulberries and plums come in, and by the sixth year you will find that you have all the fruit that a good size herd of hogs can destroy from the first of May until the middle of August. To obtain a goo 1 pasture for the colts and pigs fertilize and sow the entire lot in rye, which will last until the middle of April. By that time the vege tables are in and it will take very little corn to keep them elsewhere for a few weeks. Now plant the entire lot in or dinary peas and Spanish pea nuts. This crop is ready for use by the latter part of June and, if gathered, the crop can be repeated the same season. In addition to this lot plant one acre in amber cane and a quar ter of an acre in vegetables. This crop cannot be excelled for hog feed. By the aid of these crops you will find that very little corn will be required and that your meat has cost you very little. I do not mean that this can be done without atten tion, but on the contrary good and intelligent attention is re quired. Now for the colt. We have already secured for him agood pasture in preparing for our hogs. Let us figure a little on his feed. Plant one half an acre in oats and follow this with peas. In addition plant a quarter of an acre in millet. This makes one acre and three quarters and no one colt can consume this crop the first year. In fact, you can thrash one third of the oats and sell them and make two thirds of the millet into salad for winter use, which has been found to be one of the finest feeds in the world for colts. Let us see what the cost will be for feeding a colt two years : Rent of tj acres $10 00 Fertilizers 5 00 Seed 1 H5 Sowing 1 50 (lathering 1 00 Heed peas 1 50 Gathering 2 35 Halt for millet salad 1 (X) Total $25 60 By oats thrashed 18 (X) Cost of feed 1st yr...$12 (50 This crop is to be repeated the second year, except thrashing oats, and the cost for second year will be $25.00 and total cost for two years $38.20. These figures may seem a lit tle off to some of our friends who have been trying to raise horses and hogs on cane grass, a little corn, muddy water and no attemion. Nevertheless these are undeniable facts, without politics or odulteration. Should Mr. “Stock Raiser” doubt these figures I can show him some as fine meat as ever produced bristles that cost less than 31 cents per pound and an average colt whose feed at two- years old will not cost over $35. These have been raised without any preparation whatever. In conclusion I will say that I believe there is more money in raising horses and hogs than in anything else in this country, but I could not conscientiously recommend it to all of our citi zens, as some of them have launched into the cultivation of Irish potatoes. I think that a very good crop as the potatoes contain about 86 per cent water and I believe it will take lots of water and a high tide to land some of us safely over the great shoals of depression. I hope my stock raising friend may grow rich and happy over these facts. Jim Pug. THE PENSION FRAUD. Interesting Figures for Intelligent Vo ters to Study Carefully. [New York Herald.] When General Garfield was chairman of the House Appro priations Committee, less than twenty years ago, he declared that the pension list had reach ed its maximum. It was then twenty-five million dollars. The amount appropriated by the Billion Dollar Congress for 1892 was a hundred and thirty- five millions, which it has been found necessary to increase to a hundred and forty-seven mil lions. This is an excess of thirty-nine millions over the total of 1891, which, in turn, was an increase of twenty-two millions over the aggregate of THE CALENDAR CORRECT. Yet the News of Deeming's Death Reached Us Before He Was Hung. [St. Louis Globe Democrat.] On May 22, at about 8 p. m., a dispatch dated Melbourne, Australia, May 23, was received at the newspaper offices an nouncing that Deeming, the murderer, was hanged about 10 a m This was startlibg intel ligence. Here, apparently, was the information of the occurence of an event fourteen hours be fore it could have happened. It was Sunday night with us. about an hour after sunset, when the news came ; it was Monday forenoon, several hours after sunrise, when the news was sent, and the news had to go half way around the globe before reaching us. But how or why does this seeming break in the ordeily course of the calendar occur ? This is all very simple when the causes are known. There was nothing the matter with the cal endar. The affair occurred just as reported, and the variation or disagreement in time is due merely to the differences in longitude between the two pla ces. By common consent of the nations longitude on the globe is reckoned from Greenwich, England. The prime meridian is considered to be at that point. Melbourne is, in round figures, 145 degrees cast of Greenwich, and St. Louis is Of) degrees west of Greenwich. That is, in pass ing along the globe westward from Melbonru? to St. Louis 235 degrees of longitude are travers ed. Each 15 degrees constitute an hour in time. The earth ! makes a complete revolution from West to East in 360 de grees in twenty-four hours. In each hour, therefore, it turns 15 degiees. Places 15 degrees east of us see the sun an hour before we do. Places 90 degrees east of us see it six hours before we do, and so on. The sunrise, noon, sunset and all other hours come to those places, as a con- sequence, earlier than they do jtous. Thepresenthourof theday i to the inhabitants of St. Louis, whatever the hour may be, came to inhabitans of Mel- bourn about fifteen and two- thirds hours ago. To places west of us this order of things, of course is reversed. But at what part of the globe does the day begin ? This was a problem which once bothered the scientists. The sun is ris ing in some part or other of the globe every moment. In some part or other of the globe the sun is always setting or on the meridian. Therefore it is day light always somewhere. Yet it was necessary to select a con ventional starting point for the day. It was desirable, too, that the place of transition should be in the ocean. At last the chief countries of the world agreed that the change of the day should take place along a line drawn nearly north and south through the Pacific Ocean. This is called the date line. Un der this arrangement the new day is considered to make its advent on Easter Island. This island is west of Chili, and about a third of the distance be tween that country and New Zealand. Then when it is Sun day on the American continent it is Monday on Easter Island. That island and the places to the west of it along the date line always keep ahead of us one day. This is why on Sun day night in St. Louis it was Monday forenoon in Melbourne at the same instant of absolute time. 1890. .
