Hot for Deep Greek.

From the Salt Lake Tribune of the
18th we take the following:
The engineer who was to come from
New York to go over the line of the
Deep Creek read arrived yesterday
morning with President J. H. Bacon
of the American National Bank and
Witcher Jones are now en- route,
studying up the possibilities and pro-
liabilities of the new line. Things
look all right thus far, and 1t is safe
to predict that the engineers report
will result In immediate work upon
line. Hoi for Deep Creek is the
cry now. No wonder that the pros
pectors and miners at the end OF the
route are becoming excited. Work
is reported resumed on the grade of
the Deep Creek road between Gar
field Beach and Buffalo Park.

LOOKS Like Business.

We learn that the Eberhardt Com
pany has purchased The Green Springs
property (Freeland's place., nine
miles below Eberhardt. The object
of the purchase is said to be to use
the water for milling purposes. The
company consider It cheaper to haul
the ore to the Springs than TO repair
the old water works, which are in a
dilapidated condition. As the pur-
chase was doubtless at the instance
of the Chairman of the company, who
is on tour of inspection of the prop
erty, II looks as Il the old Eberhardt
meant to resume operations at an
early day.

A TerriblS Tragedy In Nowberry County,

Drinking.

five miles from Newberry, attempted
Saturday afternoon to shoot his daughter.
young lady about 18 years old, but his
dlstol was w1csted from his hands and
the attempt thwarted, Neighbors were
sent for for protection. All were in the
room together when Clary, in fit of
madness, grasped g hatchet and gave his
wife several blows on the head, which
will probably prove fatal. Sne was in
an unconscious condition last night and
the attending physician could not say
how badly she was hurt. l have no,
heard today, but supposed she is still
living.
Sheriff Risor went out last night and
brought Clary in here and lodged him
in Jail, where he now is.
As to the cause of this sd affair J.. If

About two years ago, after drinking
heavily, he had delirium tremens. and
during one of these spells shot his little
son with a pistol, but not seriously.
Those who know say he has not been
drinking much quite recently, and when
IN town last Wednesday with his wife
and daughter he took only one pint of
whiskey home with him and has not
been in town since. I have not seen
him to day. but parties who did say he
talks at random and says that persons
tried to kill him last Thursday night
that they were watching around his
house with long knivea, etc. In fact, no
one was there. He has wife one

TOBACCO CULTURE.

An interesting i.cttlc From tho Florence
| TobnccO King.
The following very interesting letter
on the subject Of tobacco culture was
written by Mr.. +. Nj. Rodgers, of Flor
ence, TO President Tupper, cf the
Chamber Of Commerce of Charleston.
Mr.. Rodgers speaks "ex cathedra," :"
since he is the man who produced the
crop, and is now getting up u fac.
tory.
'FLoRENCE, Jan. "a, 1890.
Mr.. S. Y. Tupper Pres'dt., Charles
| ton:
DEAR sIR-Yours of Jan. % is at
hand and noted. The cultivation OF
tobacco in this section has been grad
ually increasing for the last four ears.
The acreage the present year will be
very greatly in excess of that of the
past season. Not less than 500 acres
will be set. from the present indica-
tions. 1t will he planted to some ex.
teMt in the counties of Marion, Darling.
ton, Sumter, Clarendon. and Lancas-
ter. Nearly every mail brings me let
terG OF enquiry from various portions
of the State upon this subject. AS re-
CARDS Spartanburg (as mentioned in
your letter. 1 can give you no definite
information. I am aware that three
years ago it was tried there, but met
with failure. I am confident, however,
that this result was duo to improper
selection OF soil, error in cultivation
or Judgment in some way. / feel as
cured that Spartanburg can produce
tho weed" as profitably as any Sec
ton of our state when proper condi-
tions are complied with.
"With continued success it is simply
matter of a year or so when tobacco
will be the staple and money crop of
this section. In this locality nearly
every farmer will plant it to more or
less extent. I know Of many farmers
Qast year being their first experience),
who have made net profits per acre,
varying from $43 to $l12. 1 know of
one who has heen in the business for
several years, who got on six and one
half acres gross returns Of nearley So
500. 1t cost him not more than
$75 per acre to grow and market it.
There is more enthusiasm here
among the farmers in regard to this
matter than has been manifested by
them on any subject for some time.
The stock of the tobacco factory has
nearly all been subscribed. Twenty
per cent OF the same Is now being COL
lected. A meeting will be held on Fob.
II, when officers will be elected. The
matter of establishing a warehouse is
under consideration.
II note your remarks in regard to
tobacco being leading industry in this
state years ago. The tobacco produced
in those days was an entirely different
type, being the dark, heavy varities,
air cured. The product ofthe present
Is the yellow kinds, which are cured
by artificial heat. 1t has been proven
by practical results that tobatco can be
raised here far more advantageously
than In any section that has thus far
taken hold of the industry. Owing to
the length of our season and natural
adaptability of the soil to the growth
of tobacco, we can produce twice as
much per acre, besides the quality of
the leaf being unexaccllee.
'Boping the information I have
given will meet your wants, am very
respectfully yours"

during the course Of his remarks, said ::
"Therc is a man in this congregation
who Is so mean and unfaithful to his
wife that it is u wonder God does not
rain down fire and birthstone upon his
head and consume him."
The preacher pointed his fuger to-
wards Thomas Coleman, who occupied n
seat near the pulpit, aud as he did so
that individual jumped to his feet t. in
qulred If the parson meant TO be person
al in his remarks. No sooner was Cole
man on his feet than half a dozen d.a
cons were up demanding that he sit
down. Everything was in an uproar,
and an attempt was made to eject Cole
man. He resisted and, seizing a stick Of
wood lying near the stove. he began to
WELD it hard and fast, knocking four
men to the floor and fatally wounding

the club from Coleman and dclt him a

| Somo members boil with Rnge, but n

A dispatch from Washington says
The Republican majority Of the House
has at last reported the rules. The Re.
| publlcans first secured the Hall for their
caucus. When they adjourned there
was scarcely time for the employee to
throw open the doors and secure a
change of air in the hall before the Dem
ocratic members began to file in to at
tend their caucus. They appeared in
good number, and were presided over
by Mr.. Holman. The only subject dis
''aed was the new code of rules. The
Dcm Gratis were ut u disadvantage in
that the menbers were not supplied
with copies, as were the individual Re-
publicans today.
SO Mr.. Carlisle was obliged n read
and explain the rules from his private
copy. Naturally this was slow work,
and most Of the session Of the caucus
was consumed in this way. Thore was
little discussion. Now aud then some
member would boil over with indigna-
ton and express, himself forciby as
some particularly obnoxious rule was
read and it's effect pointed out.
Mr. Springer thought the rules IN ant
that the watchman were gagged, the
watch dogs chained and the treasury
thrown open TO plunder. But the gen
eral sentiment was that no matter how
obnoxious the rules are they wore asked
for by the Democrats and would be con-
sidered in fair spirit.
Mr.. Carlisle was accordingly instrnc-
ted to negotiate with the majority man,
agera for proper and reasonable time
to consider the rules in case they should
be reported tomorrow, inasmuct as the
Democratic members are without copies
The Republicans will also he requested to
allow debate of reasonable length upon
them when they are called up for consid-
GRAFTON, and if these concessions are
granted the democrats will interpose no
unusu.l obstacles to action upon them.
