Trade with Manitoba,and the Great
Northwest.
Chicago journal of Commerce.

Probably butt Of the enterpris-
ing merchants of Chicago are aware
OF the great trade now fast develop
ing to the northwest of US. Only
few years ago this terra incognita
was supposed to be sterile and in
hospitable region, and the perpetu-
al abode of ice and snow. Now it
IS known to be one of the most ex-
tensiye fertile regions OF the con-
tlnent.
Beginning with the valley of the
Red River, which takes it's rise in
the neighboring state ofMlnnesota,
there are three vast steppes or prai-
ries, the one rising above the other
until they reach their western Inn
its al the base Of the Rocky Noun
tains. There are, in what is called
the Red River Valley, alone, about
1000, 900 acres Of land, OF which
1t Is safe to say that more than
nlne-tenths are among the very best
wheat lands IN Amnrica-capl5le
ordinarily Of producing from . 70
80 bushels per acre for many years
IN succession without materially
subtractlng from the eXhaus'less
stores OF fertility which have been
treasured up for centuries in the
soil 1t all were put under plough
and sown to wheat the Red River
alley is capable Of producing at
20 bushels per acre from 200, O,00O,o 900
to 240,000,000 bushels Of wheat
equal TO more than half of the en-
tire wheat products of the United
States for the last year. But cross
ing the boundary at the 49th par
aIiel, and following the isothernal
line up in a northwcsterly direction
through the valleys of the Assini-
bolre aud Little and Big SaskatcEe-
wan Rivers, the more fertile the
soil and milder the climate becomes.
Here We have opened up a vast fer
tile region of over 300, 900 square
mil 5, capable of supporting pop
uiation of 50,000,oOO or 60,00O,O0O
OF people, and of producing more
than double the quantity Of wheat
now raised in he whole Of the
United States. In some parts OF
the soil the rich black loan extends
% depth Of even twelve feet, and
seYeH.y bushels Of wheat have been
produced from one bushel soum.
The province Of Manitoba is but
small part OF this immense region.

A FATAL SLEEP ON THE TRACK
Night before last about 10 o'clock, the
Air Line passenger train ran over and
killed man named James Baswell, at 6
point about a mile this side of Easley's.
Engineer Crogg was running. He saw
an object lying on the track as soon as
the light from the engine shown upon it;
he gave three loud blows and then turned
his head, seeing that it was man and
knowing that it was all over with him.
The train stopped, when it was ascertain.
ed that q part of the mans head had
been torn of, but he was still living.
When struck, his head and the upper
part of his body were on the track, the
feet projecting outwards, conseque ntly
his body was not multilated. A whiskey
bottle which he had in his pocket was not
broken. A freight train was coming on
behind, so they dropped one of the men
down to take care of him and went
ahead to keep out of the way. The
body was conveyed to a house near by
where Baswell soon afterwards breathed
his last. 1t was said by the people who
collected about the scene of the accident,
soon after it occurred, that Baswell had
been in the village of Easley drinking
during the day, and was seen to leave
there about 7 o'clock in the evening in q
highly intoxicated condition. 1t looks
very much like he had lain down on the
track himself and had gone to sleep, but
coroner's jury will investigate the
matter and satisfy themselves that he was
not put there by some one else.-Char-
lotte Observer of Tuesday.

VEsUvIUs TuREATENINa.-Vesuvius
is once more in trouble, and an overflow
of lava east of the observatory is regard
ed as probable. People whose homes are
on the sides or at the foot of this uneasy
vent of subterranean fires will not perhaps
agree with the outside world in opinions
on this subject, but the world will recog-
nize that it was high time the mountain
bestirred itself, under pain Of losing its
reputation for regularity. Since the be-
ginning of the present century it has aver
aged about one eruption in three years.
If the interval has at any time reached
four years the equilibrium has been re-
stored by reduction to two years on
some other, occasion. Between 1922
and 1928 there occurred the unusual
lapse of six years, which may have been
compensated for by the earthquake which
shook Algiers nearly to pieces in the
year 1925. That did not leave enough
subterranean force on hand to supply
Vesuvius with her regular eruption due
in the same year. Her last disturbance
was in March, 1876, and the time now,
therefore, verges toward the regular pc
riod so we hope the eruption may come
on, if the alternative is to be an earth
uuake.-NeD York Herald.

day-for it has seemed to me that I have
been able sometimes to catch trancient
glimpses of the future through the veil
that hides it from us-and I have thought
that in that far future, in the day when
you and and all of us shall have been
gathered to our God, I could see great
and happy State and people. Our chill
dren's children-wise by the errors we
have committed, chastened by sorrows
we vicariously have borne for them, in
structed by the experiences we have
gained-shall build up new and great
country. They will lift up South Caro-.
lima and place her where God intended
her to stand-with united, free and
happy people, walking on the great road
to National prosperity and peace. Ihave
seen that future, and I have worked for
it; I have prayed for it. And, surely, if
in the good providence of God it is given
to us after oeath to look back upon the
scene of our labors here, even the pleas
ures of Heaven would be frightened by
such view. / trust in God it may come.
1t would be the highest reward that could
come to me if in the hearts of those de-
scendants of ours yet unborn they could
say that had worked for South Carolina.
I would feel, if God had left me sensible
then of any emotion, the greatest throb
of pride that could stir my heart And
would want no nobler epitaph to be
placed on my tombstone than that l had
beon true to South Carolina, and in war
and in peace had done my whole duty to
her. God save our State, and for all time
to come bless her people. Great ap-
plause.

In his Greenville speech Governor
Hampton made this good point: 'G was
told the other day by distinguished
clergyman that he had had discussion
with one of his old colored friends, and
had asked him, among other things, why
he was not Democrat. The old man
said that he had been taught that it was
contrary to the teachings of the Bible.
The clergyman wonderingly asked where
that doctrine could be found, and the old
man replied that as the Good Book only
spoke of tteo political parties-the Pub
licsns and the Sinners-be- thought he
must choose between them and be either
q Publican or Sinner, which was but
the Bible name for Democrat. Laugh
ter, in which some of the colored hearers
Joined heartily The old man had eyi-
dently never observed how many of his
party were both 'publicans and sinners.

Good Digestion,

"Give us thi. day our daily bread" and
good medicine to digest it, is both reyerent
and human. The human stomach and liver
are fruitful sources Of life's comforts; or,
disordered and diseased, they tingle misery
along every nerve and through every artery.
The man or woman with gooc! digestion see
beauty as they walk, and overcome obstacles
they meet in the routine of Life, where the
dyspeptic sees only gloom and stumbles and
growls at even imaginary objects. The
world still needs two or three new kinds OF
medicine before death can be perfectly abol.
ished; but that many lives have been pro-
longed, and many sufferers from Liver dla-
ease, Dyspepsia and Headache, have been
cured by MERRELL's HEpATINz, is no longer

penitentiary, has been in town for the
last twenty.four hours. He has shown
himself publicly in the streets. made

and declared that he proposes to nave q
bonfire out of some citizens house to-
night. No efforts that l know of have
so far been made towards his arrest"

SHERMAN's CHANGE OF BAsE.-The
hope expressed that the interview with
Secretary Sherman published in local
newspaper last Sunday was incorrect is
g-oundlcss. The proofs of the interview
were revised by Mr.. Sherman and he
takes the responsibility of his utterances.
Without announcing himself to be q
Greenbacker, he espouses the leading
principles of the party. He favors abol-
ition of the national banking system,
hints that the resumption law is an un-
wise measure, which his official position
alone compels him to execute, and says
that he favored the establishment of q
four per cent. bond into which green
backs could be convertible at will. The
hard-money Republicans of Washington
look upon him with fear and distrust.
They say that his concessions to the
Greenbackers are simply bids for the fav-
or of the soft-money wing of the Repub-
lican party. The secretary of the treas
ury is accused by these men of having
designs on the Presidency. By an
nouncing opinions contrary to the spirit
of the laws he is sworn to execute he
hopes, they say, to gain the good will OF
the Butterflies of the country. When the
Silver bill was passed Secretary Sher-
man went back on record in the Senate,
and before the committee on finance OF
that body parted company with Mr..
Bayard, Mr.. Herman, Mr.. Morrill, and
others in advocating reconciliation.
His action at that time was purely for
political effect. That is the entire secret
of his suddenly developed Greenback
ideas. Sherman's coquetry with the sill
yer dollar is said to have brought down
upon his head the curses of legions OF
banks who had made contracts in expec-
tation of the exchange of silver dollars
for greenbacks.

Susan MCGOWAN, wife of General Sam
uel MCGOWAN, which occurred at his
residencein in Abbevills, on Wednesday,
the 18th inst, after short illness, has
been received throughout the State with
profound regret. Mrs. MCGOWAN was the

the heartfelt sympathy of every person
in the State in this sad bereavement,
which not only takes from him the de-
voted partner of his life, but also re-
moves from society one of its most pol

social problem pithily. He says: "The
war was q great demoralizer. 1t threw
hundreds of thousands of men into the
army who otherwise would have ended
their days happily in the country. They
hase aocked to town, altered their habits
and desires, and deepened the prevailing
poverty and misery. Farm hands are
scarce. Paupers are plenty. This is
about the size Of it"
