The Kansas City Journal, a Republican newspaper, outlines tho policy of tho Republican tarilT law in a very open and interesting manner. It pays in substance that formerly its chief aim was to save home markets from foreign invasion of cheup goods. While now besides the above they have tho dual aim to protect tho homo and to capture the foreign markets. To do this the tariff must save domestic industries that cannot compete with foreign competition; (this is protection) to aid home in.... . austrios mat are not oniy iuuy nine to compete with foreign concerns here, but to successfully compete with them in their own field provided they are not prevented by tariil barriers at the foreign end of the line. To protect this class of industries reciprocity measures are urged. Several treaties are being negotiated by our government, which will give numerous American products special privileges in the markets of many foreign countries. That is tho situation in n nut shell. It will bo seen that instead of a revision of the tariff in the interest of the people, that the "people" are not taken into consideration at all, but it is the interests of the trusts, corporations und combines that is to be protected first, last and all the time. This kind of protection makes it possible for American coucerns to manufacture in America, ship their products across the waters to Kurope, pay tho transportation charges and sell to foreigners at their own door3 cheaper than they sell the same products to their own people right here at home. And foreign concerns in the same business are prevented by an excessive tariff from shipping their products over hero and competing with these tariff protected sharks. It is protect the trusts, the people be hanged. Our Washington correspondent says: Tho finding of a committee appointed by tho National Board of Trade, to investigate tho discrepancy between the agricultural statistics furnished by the last census and those furnished by Secretary Wilson's Bureau of Statistics, constitutes a decided victory for tho latter. Among oilier things it was found that in 101 counties tho total farm acreage, ns given by the census, exceeded the total nreago of the counties. Numerous similar errors led the committee to recommend that more scope be given to the Agricultural Department's bureau. Because of the wide variation in the figures, Secretary Wilson Is now conducting an investigation, ponding tho conclusion of which he has not disclosed his estimates on the livo stock resources of the country, but present indications are that he will be able to publish his fi,Hires with comparatively little modification. Vox, our correspondent at Etta Jjne, reports that Mr. O. W. Whisor.ant has 5 fine hogs to kift this fall. They will weigh betwoen 1,700 nnd 1,800 pounds. 'I hat shows that Mr. Whisonant has a levol head on his shoulders. How long, oh how long will it bo beforo our Union farmors onco more begin to raiso their own meat. With bacon at 12^ cents a pound in town, how can you afford to neglect the important matter of raising your own hogs? It means money in your pockets. You cannot raise too much meat. Tho people in town can't raise hogs and they would be glad to buy every surplus pound you could have for sale. Teddy Roosevelt has returned from his bear hunt, no doubt thoroughly disgusted because he could fiod uo bears. Yon went In the wrong direction Uncle Teddy, you should have steered for Wall Street there you would have found plenty of them. The owners of the eoul mines agree to accept and abide the results of the commission, appointed to arrange the difierencss, with tlio following j exceptions: They will cot recognize the Union, they will not agree to tho reduction of working hours a day, they wii! not agree to raise wages, and they do not consent to change the system of weighing. 1 hoy have no doubt kindiy consented to allow the miners to breath the fresh air when they occasionally camo out of tho mines. An eminent physician who has been investigating the matter says that tho flour made by the roller mills is responsible for the prevalence of appendicitis. That there was very little heard of appendicitis when (lour was made by 1 lie old milling process. However, as tho old style mills have been superceded by the now process, we will no doubt have to griu and bear it, appendicitis and all. It is almost impossible to get back into the old way. Wo have always thought that tho flour ground at the old mill was sweeter and more nutricious, though not so snowy white as the new roller mills turn out. News Notes from Satitue.

Are we any sort of a leaf too? Almost December and but light frosts as yet. Was there ever another such autumn?

As the farmers saved much hay when the sun was shining, now that winter ii coming they can cut ice when it freeze. Dr. C. W: Austell was here today, Monday, for a short while. Miss Neely Foster, cf Spartanburg, is now on a visit to the family of Mr. E. C. Foster. Messrs. J. F. Cain and II. C. Miller, of Carlisle, attended services at the Baptist. church yesterday. Rev. W. H. White preached 3id Sunday. his regular appointment, at the Presbyterian church, and Rev. J. I). Malion fliled his pulpit at the Baptist church 4tli Sunday. Mr. J. S. F. Adams was ordained deacon of the Salem Baptist church Sin day, and Mr. J. C. S. Vaughn would have been but on account of sickness in his family. Mrs. J. C. Sartor who has been quite sick for several weeks is improving fast now, much to the delight of her manv friends. Mr. It. T. Davis and mother, Mrs. Fiances Davis, went to Columbia today, Monday. Mrs. Davis goes to spend the winter with her daughter and Mr. Dtvis jul it visit ius'j ami a ween, s num. ior duck?, birds, 'possums, coons, etc. I believe I almost envy him bis trip for I know it will be an enjoyable ore. 1 learn that Mr. Johnnie Meador who got his leg broken about three weeks ago is getting along all right enough. It was broken atx>ve the ankle. 1 don't imagine it would keep a man on his back as long as a double break of the thigh, but I know it is bad enough, and so I can sympathize with him and hope he will soon be "going alone" again. I am eorry that Brother Homo is in stirh a bad fix, and do not know what remedy to suggest but lie seems to 1* very cheerful and is trying to laugh it off. But never mind, I lioj>e you will soon bo all right and then you will feel happy. If you are like me you will want it to get well instanter, for no one hates to have a core nor even knock off a little bit of skin than I do. J am so stingy on that line that I do not like to part with a small bit of the cuticle, and dislike to liave to "lay to," as the sailors say, for any kind of repairs, but I have had a good portion of it to do. Thanksgiving Day is coming apace and how will we all spend it, or will the majority of the people give any thanks at all. Of course keeping or taking that day to give thanks is only a form and we can give thanks any other day and ought to all the time, hut we ought not to take it for debauchery nor selfishness. It is a legal holiday that many will hail with delight, that they mav have a day for rest from regular line busincsss and will take it for a day to hunt, sport and perhaps feel the better for it. At a negro church festival or "bar flutter" over near Broad river one night last week a few buck scions of the parent trees got into a dispute which lipencil into a slugging match, and when the cracking of noggins became general, one, a brother-in-law of one of the participants, and on his behalf went in to "light the mainland with Hits a ml sticks began his work. The consequence of the fight is several are nursing damaged bead-pieces, and ills, pills and doctor's bills are on the bill of fare and very likely they are hunting up law suits They all ought to have had a good slinking down, for those young tellows love to brag about what "I will do" in dispute cases. I guess there will bo no Sunday School Convention I tie coming 5th Sunday. Carlisle church asked for it for August but it was put off because of the Assooiation coining ormear that time, and many thinking Carlisle would take it in No vember, no other church invited it. I know one that was thinking about doing so but had not time enough to arrange for it after it was seen that it would not go to Carlisle.

I heard there was another frolic out w?-8t of Sautuc Saturday night in whi.'b ad colors tniugh-d, to an extent, and pethaps lupine was. on docket, wi-ii the usual results, pistol shooting and fl ghti.ig, some bruises and a nest full of taw, suits, <piite a number being arrested. | This is the sequel of almost all frolics, I until they aro about to become putt id. lint we hear rumors of pistol shooting and men being shot, and the question is. what is going to be done ab.K'l the pistol business?

Those young men ran the mmdever hard, was sometimes so close to him that thcv could almost touch him, and for two days were complaining of br ing sore and stiff from the overexertion. When they Started out to follow him I do not think they thought of the murder, or was intending to capture him outright, bo to speak, hut was "shadowing" liim. But when he saw he was followed he started to run and dodge. They called to halt and that put "wings" into his legs, and they began to "tly" after liim, and chased him over hills, hollows, creeks, through the woods etc., and I guess the wouM-lie-woinan was thinking all the time, "oh. my ueck," The only foolish thing, I think, those boys did, was to start cut after a disguised strange negro with not a firearm of any description. How easy the negio could have turned and killed either ol them, but lie himself had nothing to shoot with, having thrown his pistol, or the murdered man's away. They did this though thoughtlessly, as I have said, they were not at first thinking of taking him prisoner, but it is a bid plan to follow one of suspicious looks without anything. I reckon I was the lbst to see the two strange "women" win, they came here. I was at the shop working, and saw them before they got oil the railroad at the crossing above the depot, aud they caure on to near our shop, put down their big "grip-sacks" and began to work about their "toilets," and came on by our window.
