Mr.. Raysor earnestly advocated the
passage of the bill on the ground of

passage of the bill on the ground OF
humanity.
Mr.. Parker moved an amendment to
the first Section, which strikes out from
the bill the clause providing: "And the
party hiring shall have no control, but
may direct what labor shall be done, and
such orders shall be executed by the
officer in charge" He thought that
with this amendment the objection that
the bill would prevent the hiring of con>
yicts would be removed and the provision
remain which would secure the humane
treatment of the convicts, which, he
supposed, was the wish cf every member
of the House.
Mr.. Kennedy of Charleston moved the
indefinite postponement of the bill, and
called for the yeas and nays.
The vote stood as follows: yeas 80,
nays rs. So the House refused to post
pone the consideration Of the bill.
Mr.. Parker's amendment wss then
adopted, as also one striking out the
words "exclusive CONTROL" which was
made necessary by the adoption of the
first.
Mr.. McCrady, advocating the bill,
paid high tribute to the course which
had been pursued by Mr.. Haskell in
reference to legislation on this subject.
1t was the. course of the highest patrot>
ism, and he had exhibited no greater
evidence of devotion to the rue.iinter-
ests of the State and of society than in
his efforts, at one period almost unaided,
to correct the inhuman abuses which the
system of hiring out convicts had de-
veloped. Mr.. McCrady showed that the
proposed bill differed from the existing
law only in the provision for supervision
by the sworn officer and guards and the
clauses incident thereto; and in provid>
ing that the time consumed by the con-
victs in going to and returning from
work shall be taken as part of the
hours constituting the days work.
The bill, after further verbal amend.
ments, was passed to a third reading,
without division.

How to Keep Sausage.

A writer in the South and West, gives
the following on keeping sausage until
Spring:
GAS soon as possible after making your
sausage make out in small cakes, and fry
until done. Remove from the skillet and
pack closely in stone jars until within
five or six inches of the top, then fill to
the top with melted lard. After the lard
has cooled examine closely aud if there
are any holes fill them with melted lard.
Tie closely and set away in the cellar
until wanted for use. When you desire
to use it take out what you wish for one
time and set in the oven till the lard is
melted, which pour back to exclude the
air. Pour some warm water over the
sausage while hot, cover, and let steam
for few minutes. Prepared in this way
it will keep for months and be almost as
nice as when fresh"

The "Husksv on Which the Prodlgal
Son Fed,

The husks upon which the prodigal son
fed are not, as the reader is apt to
imagine, the husks of maize, that is, of
Indian corn. They are the fruit of the
Kharub tree, and are from their shape
called in the Greek little horns. From
the popular notion that they were the
food of John the Baptist they are called
St. Johns bread. DR.. Thompson describes
them as "Aesby pods, somewhat like
those of the honey locust tree, from six
to ten inches long and one broad, lined
inside with q gelatinous substance, not
wholly unpleasant to the taste when thor
oughly ripe. I Lave seen large orchards
of the Kharub in Cyprus, whergit is still
the food which the swine do eat.

MR.. r. p. CLINKsCALEs,

NIX. Il. =. ClslNkSCALES,
another of the Representatives from
Anderson, was born in Anderson County,
in what is now Savannah Township, and
is about thirty.fve or six years old. He
volunteered and went to the war towards
the close of that great and sanguary
struggle, true to his duty and true to the
cause in which he fought. While In the
war he received only one wound, losing
one of bis fingers. After the surrender
he returned to the old homestead and
farmed for one or two years. He then
went to Generostee Academy until he
prepared himself for college, after which
he went to Erskine College, Due West,
S. c., whore he was graduated in 1872
In 1872 he married Miss Hall, of New
berry County. He taught school for q
short time at Slabtown, Anderson Coun-
ty, and one year in his own neighborhood.
Becoming tired of this business, because
of the poor pay, he returned to his agri'
cultural pursuits, in which occupation hs
is now engaged. In 1878 he was can
didate for the Legislature, but was beaten
in the contest for the position. In 1880
he was again candidate for the Legisla-
ture, but was again defeated by about
thirty six votes. In 1882 he was again a
candidate for the Legislature and was
then elected. After serving for the term
of two years he again became candi'
date for reelection and was elected by a
good majority. He gained votes in every
single contest for the position he now
holds.

THE TICKET.

The deliberations Of yester-
days Republican convention
make the success Of the State
ticket a surety. The absence ol
contending factions, the cordial
ity Of relations between the
East and West, and the deter
mination Of all candidates to sink
personal consider tions for the
ticket vas noticed to a degree
seldom if ever found in a polit-
ical gathering.
Delegates and candidates all
seemed bent upon nominating
the best men, and all sources of
strength or weakness were Civ
en- the careful consideration they
deserved.
There was not a clash or jar
in the entire dav's n-.,,c..s:,
and theie is not a Republican
ii the atasa today who will
clai1i that any other ticket could
Ia ye been stronger from a party
stand point or more acceptable
to the people.
The platform had an open
business ring about it that made
it particularly acceptao Die when
contrasted with the array of
meaningless and glittering gen.
eralities which so often come to
the front on such occasions.
In this platform no issue is
avoided, and every question
touched upon is dealt with in
its ompleteness. The platform
alone will make five hundred
votes in this State, as it touches
upon issues which up to date
have been blindly ignored.
The nomination of William
W0odburn gives the Republican
party a leader 1t can follow |
through a campaing with the |
certainty ola victory, and man
whom no Republican vote will |
leave for his Democratic oppo-
nent.
In Thomas Hawley is candi-
date that every Republican can
vote for with the consciousness
that u man is on the ticket who
has given the best years Of his
life to party service, and whose
record upon the bench is uni,n-
peachable.
The electors, Thompson
Campbell, J. C.. Davis and Cham
cellor Derby need no recon-
,nendatiOn to the voters Of this
State, nor any assurance to the
people that they are solid Tor

VnIuMR 1--WE

With this issue the BARRIER COUNTY
INDEX starts on volume FIVE, and IL is
with pride that we point TO the progress
the paper has made since the beginning.
It has at all times received liberal
support, its patrons have ever been
charitable I'm looking over the defects
and have never failed 10 show their APP
probation Of It's improvements. Many
times have strangers remarked that ''its
newspapers are far ahead Of the town OF
Medicine Lodge and while we believe
this Is true, there is certainly bright
future for this city. The country around
Is filling up with good class of people,
and these will demand a first cla.s
newspaper. The INDEX will satisfy
them, for, as In the past, IL will contin-
ue to be n representative Of what is
right and just, under all circumstances.
The many readers Of the paper will no
doubt miss The many sound and sensi-
BILE articles and suggestions from the
pen OF the late lameuted Mr.. Payne.
and more especially will the old-time
stockmen realize his absence but as
far as possible no department Of the In
DEX will be allowed 10 relTograde.
With these few remarks we will now
proceed with VOLUME FIVE, NUMBER
ONE.

IL appears that the Kansas delegation
70 the republican convention being held
at Chicago this week, arrived there,
though not in as good condition as they
might have been. The Kansas City
Times special says:
The Kansas delegation arrived to-
DAY with bobtail flush upon its coun-
tenanee. The boys had roaring tine
all the way up. There were two stiff
poker games in progress during the en-
tire trip, and some II the delegates are
very tired. One Blaine man won 500:
pretty good for $40 ante game. They
al put up at the Palmer house and have
exchanged their whiskey bottles for cut
glass goblets. Colonel d. r. Anthony
went Immediately to an Oculist and had
the Arthnr boom taken out of his eve.
Rather Baker prayed in thankfuIness to
the safe journey OF the delegation and
asked that a beniRcient providence
would see that the delegation did not
split. Mr.. Harry Insley stiT has the
Blaine boom in his coat tail pocx0t
There are n few Arthur. men. but they
only talk Arthur when under the espe-
cial protection OF Colonel Anthony.

showing bad taste in thus talking Of
this favorite son of the southwest, and
we can only conclude that there is a
deep seated motive for its course.
This we will explain. \ DIR. Allen.
OF Wichita, is also a candidate for Sec
rotary OF state. Mr.. Gillette, of King
man, Is a candidate for state senator.
and Wichita is in his district. Now.
you see, get Orner of the track and DR..
Allen will get the southwest. Give him
the southwest, Mr.. Gillette, and you
will be supported by Sedgewick county
for the position you want.
We are sorry to sacrifice Mr. Orner.

break another idol and now George.

There is to be united effort on the
part of the school officials and teachers
of Barber county to have adopted uni
form system of school books, and n
meeting of all the directors Is called for
July 18th. 1t is hoped that there will
be full attendance of the members.
and that without delay the best books
be selected and then used during the
coming five years. There are perhaps
as many different publications being
used in the county now as there are
schools, and as a consequence the books
cost much more than they should.
Many new families have moved i'm here
this year the population has nearly
doubled within eight months, and these
people will all be enquiring for new
school books this fall. Our dealers want
a uniform system of books adopted !;
the teachers all demard it, and it should
call the earnest and careful considera-
ton of every school director in the
county.
