Spain seems to have gotten over her recent drubbing by Uncle Sam's beys. The Cabinet has authorized a treaty of friendship with the United States to be prepared and sent to us for endorsement. Wednesday, the 19th instant, will be Knights of Pythias Day at the Exposition at Charleston. Every lodge in the State will probably be represented, and the Knights are an ticipating a royal timo. The Child Labor bill was knocked out, it is true, but when we notice the very close vote on the bill, we are led to concludo that a sentiment for some law on this subject of working small children is gaining ground. The city savings bank of Columbia was closed Saturday morning last. This notice was on the door: "This bank is in the hands of George L. Kaltz, Banking Commissioner." What's the trouble, George? Young Theodore Roosevelt, son of | the President, is in a very critical condition, pneumoniajhaving now attacked both lungs. The President and Mrs. Roosevelt are both at the bedside of their son and will remain with him until the crisis is passed. The Timmonsville Enterprise has changed hands. Messrs. Lea <fc Barken's lease having expired they have retired from the field, and the editorial chair is now filled by Hugh F. Oliver. We welcome him into the field and wish him success. The President has abandoned his trip to the Charleston Exposition on MAnnnt. nf aArlnm illnaua nf Hiia gon, Theodore, Jr., at Groton College, Mass. This will be a disappointment to the management, but then they will have Hobson. The State constables made a haul of a considerable amount of beer, wine and liquors at the race track on the Exposition Grounds in Charleston last Friday. Several of the members of the Legislature were on the stand but had no suspicion of what was going on underneath their seats. The Xewberry editors have been scrapping to relieve the monotony. While they may concnr in the belief that the pen is mightier than the sword, they decided that their fists would better answer the purposes in settling their personal difficulties. They met on the streets and mauled each other, all because one marked the Governor's Message "Extra," while the other marked it "Suplement." The extra went through the mails at regular pound rates and the supplement was turned down. There was an $8,000,000 fire in Patterson, N. J., last Saturday, midnUlG i ?-4 o fJIllVlI I'UlinUIUUU vWnilt'BIA blocks in the business part of the oifcy. All the city records, tax rolls and registers of vital statistics were destroyed, eighty-five public buildings and business houses were burned and 5,000 were made homeless. The gas and electric light plants were also destroyed. The city is plncky and notwithstanding its heavy loss, tends out the following notice: "Tell the public that Patterson is doing bosiaess and the same old stand, and will send out no call for help. Our loss 1% tremendous, hut the citizen's rslief committee is prepared to meet *11 demands." Hurrah iop Patterson we wish her God speed to rebnUdlng, PORK AT TWO CBNTS A POUND We have been constantly hammering at our farmers trying to drive home the fact that they can and should raise their meat at home. We clip the following from the Yorkville Enquire to show that you can raise your own meat and do it at a very small cost. When meat can be raised on your farm for to 2c a pound it is simply foolish to neglect doing so and then go to town and j>ay from 8 to 10 cents a pound for we'stern meat. "Although there are a great many people in this country who are unwilling to credit the assertion that pork can be raised at two cents a pound, Mr. G. H. Smith, who lives Ave miles southwest of Yorkville, asserts that there is no question of the fact, because he has recently made a successful demonstration. "I have slaughtered seven hogs during the past few months," said Mr. Smith, on Wednesday, "that netted an aggregate of 1,640 pounds, and all the actual expense that I have been Out for them has been just $24. This is the cost of all the salable food I have given them?20 bushels of wheat and 400 pounds of wheat bran. If you will make the calcuation. you will hod that the total expense has been a little less than H cents a pound for the meat, and according to the ruling market price?8 cents a pound?it * aggregate is $181,20, leaving a net profib of $107.20." Asked for the history of his experience, Mr. Smith said that the pigs came in Saptember, 1900, They ran with the sows until they were weaned, after which they made their living, in the corn held and pea stubble and woods until the next spring, when they were put in a pasture and kept there until a .few weeks ago, when they were put up and fed on a slop made of wheat ground in a corn mill and wheat bran. All of the pigs were in fairly good condition when penned, and three of them were kept but a short time until they were killed. They netted an average of 200 pounds each. The other four were kept longer with a view to making them produce more lard, and when killed they averaged 260 pounds each. According,to Mr.Smith's idea, pigs that come in May should be allowed to run in the crops till the noxt fall, being kept off the cabbage, potatoes, pinders and such like, and if there is a pasture that will furnish an abundance of acorns the pigs will be able to make their liriog through the winter without much assistance in the way of commercial food. He says that he once tried the plan of making meat out of eight and ten months pigs; but one experience has been enough. It is cheaper to let a pig make its own way mosly until it is about a year old, and then with the wheat slop, fat can be* put on at but little cost. We hope that every farmer in Union county will read the above and then determine to raise his own meat with a view to having some to sell. We want some of it in town. THE 8BABOARD IS GETTING THERE The gross earnings of the Seaboard Air Line system for the year 1901 were $11,5145,670 against $10,059,412 in 1900, an increase of $1,286,258 or 12.8 ner cent. The ODeratiner exnensen and taxes were in 1901, $7,7151,576 and in 1900 were $7,869,041, a decrease of $155,465 or 1.9 per cent. The net earings in 1901 were $8,6512,094 and in 1900 $2,190,871, an increase of $1,441,7251 or 65.8 per cent. The ratio of expense to earnings, which was 78.2 per cent, in 1900. was reduced in 1901 to 67.9 per cent., a very healthy condition. The Seaboard Air Line Railroad is a hustler. We will welcome the day when she taps Union, which day we hope is not far off. general news notes Items Of General fnterest Condensed For Quick Heading The discovery has just been made that owing to a technicality every law passed at the last session of the Wyoming legislature is invalid. The Governor is now in South America and it will be the first of May before an extra session can be called to remedy the trouble. Probably the easiest position in Washington is that of messenger at the British legation. All that this functionary has to do is to go to New Ynrii ntioa n maalr ? ? ? ?r tvvv? ??

SenatorClark, the multi-millionaire copper king of Montana is said to be trying to acquire the Siberian copper mines from Russia. A question Is arising as to whether the western Seaator is the American whose query : "Howmuch do you want for Europe?" recently caused some consternation among the smaller principalities, The census reports of the cottonseed industry shows that what was formerly waste product is now almost as great a source of wealth as the cotton itself. The industrial world is learning tho ralue of utilizing socalled waste products and tho latest example comes from Germany where sugar-beet tops, formerly worthless, pro now being artificially dried to fQrm ? nutritive food for cattle.
