Especial TO the News and Courier.

COLUMBIA, March 3.-If there is a
continuance of good weather for the re-
mainder of March all the granite piers
of the Columbia, Newherry and Lau-
rens Railroad bridge on the Lexington
side of Broad River, and in that divis-
ion Of the river known as the Big
Stream, will be completed by the end
of the month, leaving only three piers
in ''the Little Stream" one in the Ca
nal and the abutment on the Columbia
side to be finished. This ought to be
done in six weeks more, and it is ex-
pected that by the middle of May the
piers will be ready for the superstruct-
ure. 1t has not yet been decided
whether the bridge will be of wood or
iron. As soon as the bridge is COM
pleted track-laying will be pushed from
Columbia, and by the early fall the line
will be complete to Newberry. -.

RESCRRECTISG.

The Republican State Executive
Committee met in Columbia on Tues
day. Amongst those in attendance we
notice the name Of +. l.. HiX, from
Newberry. This meeting was held
very quietly. They fixed the date of
their State Convention, to be held in
Columbia May ]. They say they do
not propose to run q State ticket, but
will simply make the fight on the
National and Congressional elections.
These fellows work very quietly. The
Democrats should keep awake and
watch.
Charleston is raising oney for the
purpose Of erecting Il Young Mems
Christian Association building in that
city. 1t is to be hoped th..; the build
ing movement will he revived in New
berry, and 4 suitable building erected
at this place. We have the men here
who are willing to contribute to such
an enterprise, and we have also a lot of
promising young men who need just
such an institution. For the Associa-
ton to be successful there must be a
place for the young men to 60 that is
both comfortable and pleasant and at
tractivc. Such place can only be had
by putting up building adapted to the
Uses for which the work Of the Associa-
ton desires it. No bett.r investment
can he made by our business men and
The fathers of this community than that
which looks to the protection and care
of the young men among us. Upon
them soon must fall the duties and
responsibilities both Of the affairs of
church and State. All that is needed is
for the right men to take the lead in
this matter and it will be accomplished

THE DUDLEY CASE.
A Confession of the Conspiracy to Defraud
Insurance Companies.
Especial to the Chronicle7


Charleston, S. c., March 3.-The fa-
nous Dudley insurance case came to
an unexpected end to-day. Two of the
three conspirators made confession
before the coroner's jury, admitting
that the whole thing was a job to swim
die the insurance companies of $4,000
insurance money. The job was put up
Jas. ?. Bond and Thomas Bond, the
latter being the agent of the insurance
companies. They procured q corpse
from the potter's field, dressed it up and
passed it off as the husband of Mary
Dudley, whose life was insured in the
United States Mutual and Travellers
insurance companies, both ''accident"
companies. The confessions were made
by Henry Mathews and Frank Evans,
two negroes who snatched the body and
assisted in the subsequent burial. The
verdict of the coroner's jury was as
follows:
"That no such man as Dudley ever
lived, but that the body of a colored
man unknown to them had been resur.
rected and carried to house in street
for the purpose of carrying out con-
spiracy to defraud an insurance com
pany, concocted and entered into py
DR.. Jas. P. Bond, Thomas Bond, Mary
Dudley, Henry Mathews and Frank
Evans"
4 fresh sensation has been caused by
the presentment of the grand jury
which was made to-day. They jury
recommended the establishment
of chain gang to work on the county
roads; second, the establishment of d
whipping post for the punishment Of
vagrant wife beaters and other petty
offenders; third, the establishment of a
county criminal court for the trial OF
petty offenders. There is already law
ON the statute books authorizing the
city to work its streets with the labor
of criminals convicted at the police
court, but political influences have
heretofore prevented its enforcement.

Solicitor of the Seventh Circuit.
TEdgefield Chronicle

1t is announced that Maj. David r.
Duncan, of Spartanburg, has expressed
his intention to decline reelection to
the office of Solicitor Of the Seventh
Circuit-Newberry, Laurens, Spartan
burg and Union. Among Others, Mr..
O. L. Schumpert, of the Newberry bar,
is mentioned asa probable candidate for
the place soon to be made vacant. We
might say probable and prominent, for
Mr.. Schumpert has every gift and re-
commendation to make him not only
prominent in the race, but successful.
AS an attorney he has devoted his study
and practice in d very great degree to
the criminal law, wherein he is quick
and ready at every possible point
learned, keen, sagacious. And when to
these qualities are added the well known
fairness and benevolence of Mr.. Schum-
pert's character, who shall say that any
man can be found to fill this place more
honorably or more vigorously, for the
State of South Carolina, than O. l..
Schumpert, of Newbcrry? We are out
side the circuit to be sure; and if it be
not our duty, it certainly is our heart
felt pleasure to second the candidacy of
our honored and hightoned neighbor
across the Saluda.

SORGHUM SUGAR A SUCCESS.

The manufacture of sugar from
sorghum is practical success. It is
bound to open up new industry.
Many branches of farming that are
now over-crowded can go into the
sorghum sugar business, thus relieving
over-production in other lines at
profit to the whole country This will
retain in the country the 100 millions
of dollars that are now annually sent
abroad to purchase our sugar supply,
sum that will be doubled in 25 years
at the present rate Of development.
The practical success Of sugar manu-
facture at Fort Scott, Kansas, is be-
yond question Capital is ready and
eager to go into the new business.
Hundreds Of factories would be started
if competent managers could be Sc
cured. For lack of competent man.
ayers many mistakes will be made, as
farmers and capitalists will rush into
the business without knowing how it
ought to be conducted: Congress may
build factories in some Of the States
for the purpose of educating men to
manage this new business. am salts
fed that South Of 80 degrees Of lati-
tude sorghum mills will be as common
as -four mills, for they do not cost any
more, for $4,000 to $4,000 will
build mill capable of making from
$4,000 to 10000 pounds Of sugar from
sorghum daily. This is promising
work for the experiment stations to
take hold Of The chemistry of sugar
should be taught in all the colleges
and stations-Norman j. Colmon,
Commissioner Of Agriculture, an Farm

WHERE IS THE PROFIT?

Is there any profit in keeping hogs
over winter to get more weight when
killed How much corn does it take
to keep up the animal heat of one pig
through the winter, to say nothing
about the feed necessary to produce a
slow growth? .? When we consider
that the feed is first used as fuel and
the residue to promote growth, we
shall see there is great deal of feed
used, which in the summer, if fed to
spring pigs, would make pork. I
think three spring pigs bought the
last of April can be kept with no more
expense than two through the winter.
They will aggregate as much weight
with more desirable hams and shoul-
ders and less lard in those parts where
the lean is wished. Few people have
stomachs able to digest much of those
immense masses of lard which weigh
from 800 to 600 pounds and are the
the boast of so many farmers at this
season.-E. N. Ho,oley, Fairfield Co.,

daughter before he met the philoso-

something very deep, from such a
father, and he said to her, "What is
your father teaching you p The lit
tie maid looked at him with her clear
blue eyes, and just said, "Obedience."
That was what the great and wise man
taught his little girl, and I believe
that is the most important lesson for.
children to learn, "to be obedient. /"

piness, for their safety, and I think I
may say, for their life.-Cenom Wynme

MEETING OF STATE AGENTS.

1t is known by the brethren gener-
ally that there will be conference of
State business agents in the city OF
Dallas, Texas, on the second Tuesday
in February, 1888, for the purpose of
making a National application of the
Macune agency system. Kentucky,
Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Missouri,
Louisiana and Texas will be repre-
sented.
The National Wheel, at it's last
meeting, recommended to their States
that they elect at once their State
agents. We hope to meet them all
here in February.
The first question is: "Wil it
work ?" The second, "is there any
money in it ?"
AS to the first question, we go to
record as saying that it is entirely
feasible, eminently practicable. Sup
pose said National business agent is a
broad -guage man, thoroughly compe-
tent to grasp the subject in its widest,
deepest and broadest proportions
Located at New Orleans, La, he can
contract for the entire output Of as
many mills as will supply us with
molasses, pay the Louisiana farmers
more than they get now, and get it
much cheaper than the farmers of
other States can possibly get it under
the present system. This is no guess
work. 1t has been thoroughly tested,
and finally settled within thirty miles
of here, by our Alliance Wheat Milling
Company paying more for wheat and
selling flour cheaper. He can import
our coffee by the ship load and prevent
q repetition of coffee corner. He
can take the entire output OF two or
