Let us Have O New County,

The formation of new County to be
composed of portions of Anderson, Able.
vile, Laurens and Greenville, with
Honea Path as its County seat, is being
now actively discussed by most OF our
citizens. The whole country is practi.
cally unit in favor of the scheme. The
idea ia no new one, having been agitated
for many years, but the movement never
took any definite shape. We know at
the outset that we will encounter much
opposition In our support of the move.
meDt, but we have resolved not to allow
that to deter us from presenting its claim
in as forcible manner as we know how.
There are many reasons why the Leg.
islature should be petitioned TO form
such County. The portions Of the four
Counties, from which it ia proposed to
form the County, lie 80 far from their
County seats as 10 make it very inconye.
nient for the citizens living in these parts
to go to them 10 transact their necessary
business. In olden times when people
had but little legal business to transact,
there was not much necessity for Coun.
ties to be small. But Of late years, there
is getting 70 be any quantity of such
business, thereby causing our citizens to

frequently working great injury TO their
private interests-in going back and forth
such long distances to their respective
County seats. Those opposed to the
movement will use as an argument
against it the cost Of building Court
House and other necessary County build.
ings. The difference in mileage paid to
jurors and witnesses would in few years
pay the erection of such buildings.
Even the difference in the time lost by
the farmers, when thei interests imper.
atively demand their presence at home
as much as possible, alone would pay for
such an expenditure. We ere of the
opinion that too many small counties are
useless and not entirely beneficial. No
one would oppose the indiscriminate
formation OF new Counties any more
than We. We believe that the establiah-
ment Of County seat at every CROSS road
would be foolish, expensive and inexpo-
dent. Georgia to-day is suffering from
the evil Of having entirely too many
small Counties. South Carolina on the
other hand contends with the difficulty
of having entirely too many excessively
large Counties. North Carolina exhibits
a happy mean in the size of her Counties.
The only right way, We contend, to deter.
mine whether County should be formed
or not is to discuss it thoroughly, aud
critically to consider all the cia;a:s urged
10 its favor in spirit Of fairness and can.
dor. We think that Hones Path can
establish her ciaims for q neg County, if
her advantages are thoroughly teated,
and given their due weight. Honea
Path has the following advantages Her
situation on the line of railroad; her
nearness to the corner Of four Counties,
and the value Of her position as a general
distributing point.
All expressions Of opinion on the sub
iect from our patrons and friends on the
subject will be thankfully accepted, and
given due consideration. Let us hear
also from. our contemporaries on the sub.
ject.-Honea Path Herald.

has kept our farmers poor, as they have
been compelled to devote their energies
mainly to cotton, and often ut the ex.

Until thoy do these essential things,

Making Artificial Fuel.

Small slack Of lean or boiler coal only
is used for it, as coking slack finds q
cheaper and better use in the coke man
ufacture. Some material to cement
the coal powder together has to be en-
ployed; with rich coal it is possible to
do without, as by heating it about 400
degrees centigrade the bituminous COM
ponents would sufficiently melt to eff
feet the binding, but the attempts made
have not been successful because OF the
rapid wear Of the machinery in conse-
quence of the high temperature. Sew
eral ccments have been tried but the
most general one is hard coal-tar as
phalt or "brai,' which il left as a by
product of the coal tar distillation. The
percentage Of asphalt varies from four
and one-haIf to seven per cent, ac-
cording TO the nature of the coal, the
latter determining mainly the heating
value OF the fuel. The practicabiity Of
the manufacture depends chiefly on
the quantity Of asphalt required for a
certain kind Of coal, as this kind of
material is costly, the cost being from
" to $3.50 per ton in Westphalia. The
cost OF manufacture averages twenty
tive cents per ton, including deprecia-
ton of plant The selling price of the
artificial fuel is still very unsettled, but
probably it will be in Westphalia as it
is in France and Belgium, about two
thirds the price Of lump coal The lat
ter being at present Sl75 per ton
wholesale in Westphalia, the briquettes
would sell at about Sl25. Taking the
latter price, and reckoning $3.50 per
ton for asphalt and 25 cents for the
cost, the fine coal used in the manufac-
ture would bring it about 50 cents per
ton where six per cent asphalt is used,
and 20 cents.where only five per cent.
is required.
