PISGAH NEWS ITEMS And Some Other Reflections. Winter has come with a rosb. Toe cotton bolis have gooe from hard to soft. Very few of them wiii open. A good many oats are up while others are planted. Planting will continue with intervals uatU next spring Th? legislature never did a better dajs work ibat when it resolved to finish the State house. The fins o! i buildiag is rapidly going j to decay ia several placee, and the wei5 to j complete comes none too soon. The work bas j ist commenced ftcd will be j pushed to compitftios. Some ot the j columns that were dressed befo-e the j war are being redressed giving teem a new lock. No taxpayer who has any pride in bis State will begrudge the amount expend? ed to finish the building as originally design? ed. Tbe fair management should be careful ia not admitting in tbe fair grounds shows of sn immoral nature. If what I hear is correct some cf them at tbe last fair, would properly belong to tbe Five Point3 in New York City.

ELECTION NIGHT IN SUMTER How the News of the Republican Triumph Was Received. Tbe election buUeiios furnished by tbe Daily Item attracted a large crowd 00 election eight and many stood around tbe bulletin board noni after midnight readiog tbe instalments of tb? tale of wee for democrats aa it came from the wires and was posted 00 the board. From the first the new? was all unfavorable to tbe democrats aod tbere never was a place for enthusiasm nor a time for shouting. To republicans or Banoaised-democrats, the news would bava been exceedingly gratifying, .nd If tbere bad been a sufficient number of tbem io tbe crowd they woold have been justified in shooting themselves hoarse and holding a jollification meeting. But tbere was no j jlhficatioo and tbe only incident that caused a stir in tbe crowd waa a set-to be? tween a bull terrier and a mastiff, in which t?e big dog wan worsted. The interest centered around tbe returns from New York, Maryland, Indiana and Kentucky. When there was no longer room for doubt that New York, Maryland and in? diana had gone Republican and that Banna's mao bad won by a large majority, tbe crowd regan to thin out, so tbat at m ido ig ht com? paratively few remaioed. Tbe bulletins furoisbed were as full as ever posted in ?Sumter 00 uc election night and Manager Tom Lynam of the Western Union bad a busy night with lots of bard work to take the story of Bryan's defeat from tbe * i rf s as it was flushed from all sections of tbe country The members of tbe Sumter Club and their lady friends gathered is the club rooms to bfar tbe retorna which were received over a special wire cut io for the occasion. Tbe bulletins were furnished typewritten and were read to tbe ctowd as rapidly as receiv? ed The occasion was quite a success, and a more pleasant and comfortable way of spend? ing election night could net bave been de? vised The ladies were satisfied with tbe news received before ll o'clock, and at tbat boor Done of them remained bot many of tbe men remained until nearlv 2 o'clock.

"The indemnity is to include com? pensation for Chinese who suffei3d through being employed by foreigners, bat not compensation for native Chris tiacs The words missionary and Christians do not occur in the note." Commenting upon what it eails Mr Conger's "excellent suggestion for che dismissal of officials permitting anti foreign outrages,71 the Times remarks that "this is the ooly considerable addition to the terme which the minis ters proposed to submit to China last month," it says to at "American SOL ,3 of justice and humanity is too strong and Amerioan intelligence to keen to be deluded by tho pitiful Chinese ap? peal against the execution of the Pao Ting Fu officials. CH INESE STIRRED BY RECENT EVENTS Execution of High Officials Is Deeply Besen ted. Washington. Nev 12.-It is under? stood that tbe Chinese authorities at 1 Pekin have been profoundly aroused by some of the executions of Chinese offi? cials which have occurred of late, and that they have made known in an offi? cial way their surprise and regret that this should occur while tbe peace nego? tiations are going on It appears that the execution of thc acting viceroy of Chi-Li is looked upon ES peculiarly reprehensible and baa been tb?? main cau?e of tbe present intense feeling of the Chinese officials at Pekin. This i acting viceroy served dunce tb;* ab? sence of Li Hung Chang at Pekio, oc i cupyiog ht? YariH-rt arjd ic- all ways 'executing Kiri Li's functions while he i wan conducting tbe peace m?-sion.

He is t-aid j to bava come oot from the city to meet the allie-* and to have turned over his yaruco to them Notwithstanding thip, hs bas been put to death, and this fact, when com mu cleated to Li Hung Chane j and his associates ta Pekin, caused ia - j tonie feeling.

As to Incubators and Brood? ers. BY H B. GEEK, Any ODO contemplating the use of an incubator the coming winter, if not already provided with one, should buy now To wait until about ready to start up, is a very serious error It takes a new beginner a hatch or two to get the run of so incubator, hence, November and December should be the experimental seasoo, in order to have the machine well io hand by the first of January. Then i the great value of the incubator as a ready instrument for getting out early chickens may be fully realized. A 200 egg artificial hatcher that will bring forth for us, say 150 chicks j in January, 150 in February, and an equal number in March, will demon? strate its utility and value, beyond question Those months are the three in the tweive that compose a year, when the service of an incubator counts for something. It scarcely pays to hatch incubator chickens during the summer, nor yet, in the fall, but it does pay to hatch them from January 1 to April 1 or 15. Still, hatching does not raise the chickens. It simply puts them in our banda to raise, and then comes the rub in growing chickens without I hens On the average, not more than j one half cf the incubator hatched ! chickens live to be old enough for us I to tell whether they are cockerels or j pullets. They die from over crowd? ing and improper food Of course, it is not possible in a short article to give a great amount of experience in raising chickens in brooders But, I may say. that, in the little experience I have had in that line, I have found that it pays to have brooders enough to divide the little chickens into small broods ; and have the brooders so placed that they can get on to the ground, and out in the sun and air from the very first. If this is not done, they weaken when together in large numbers, and if kept in the brooder they take on a sort of an artificial, or musbroomy growth, and then have to be seasoned to out door conditions later which causes a sec? ond loss They must be toughened from the very first or they suffer later on, wheD they face natural condi? tions Let there be a good shed overhead, and an opea ran attached to the brooder, no matter if it be thc winter season But, at the ssme time, bave the brooder agoing as a warm retreat for the chickens when they begin to get chilly The little fellows soon learn the rounds, and they run to tte interior cf the brooder when cold, just the same as they will.huddle under their mothers, when running with a hen. Feed brooder chiefcpnc offen, bat only " ornatl quantity at a time, and have some millet seed or other small grain ia chaff for them to scratch after Use your favorite lice-killer regu iar?y, to keep the chicks free of lice. My preference for this purpose ia ordinary kerosene oil. . ?: ; Nashville, Tenn. .
