Uow do you like our new dress?
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

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

bosiaess and the same old stand, and
will send out no call for help. Our

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.
