The Outlook for the Southern Farmer.

To the Editor of The Herald and
News:-Ia the Saturday Globe, a week
ly Democratic review, published IN
New York, find an article headed
Taxation Pillaging the Farms, (Which
I send you for insertion inyour paper.
It is the opinion Of many of our peo-
pie in the South that only in our Sec
ton is to be found agricultural distress
But upon reading the article referred
to it will be seen that even in Pennsyl-
vania the lands, to very great extent,
are heavily mortgaged and passing
out of the hands of the donafde tillers
of the soil, and to the ownership IN
possession of moneyedautocrats.
The unrest of the farmers throughout
the country, occasioned by this state OF
things, is apparent in most sections OF
the United States, and the cause, as
assigned by the writer of the article re-
ferred to, is an unjust tariff and the
over-production for consumption.
The farmers Of the South are to be
congratulated, that while it is true the
farmers are financially depressed, but
not to that extent as in States depen-
dent on grain alone as their money
crops.
The South is making rapid strides in
the development of our vast resources
the building of railroads, cotton fac
tories, oil mills and other important
indust tries. What the South needs
most is thrifty white population a
class that will invest their money IN
our lands in small tracts, and with the
increased industry referred to provision
crops will find ready sale at remuner-
ative prices at the doors OF the pro-
ducers. It will be well for our people
to understand that in the near future
that in Mississippi and west of the
Mississippi river more than one-half OF
the cotton required for the worlds con-
sumption will be produced. The South
can be self-supporting to- great extent.
Then the cotton will be surplus crop
to be sold when the price warrants
its production. With economy and IN
dustry, with our people making cotton
as surplus crop, and low tarlff, see
no reason why the Southern farmers
can fail to be prosperous and happy.

NOTES FROM EXCELSIOR.

Mr.. James D. Kinard, of Newberry
College, spent Saturday night at home.
Our farmers have been busily en-
gagged putting down fertilizers.
Mr.. J. Il. P. Crosson has purchased a
tract of land near Leesville, Lexington
county, and is farming on the same
this year.
Some of our most experienced fruit
raisers inform us that several of their
fruit trees have died during the winter
season. What could be the cause? Is
it owing to the mild winter we have
had?
Mrs. Sallie Kinard, Of Ridge Road,
spent last week with relatives in this
Mrs. J. S. Werts and children, of
Saluda, after spending the past week
with relatives and friends in this COM

this community are putting the same

a good set Of overseeTs, and they like to
treat the public to good roads.
Mr.. +. S. Werts, after spending a

not a scholar, we assure you, one and

We direct attention to the communi-

We direct attention to the communl-
cation of "Celsus' in another column
on some of the needs of Newberry.
The Herald and News has been calling
attention to some of these things for
some time, and we sre glad to see some
of our enterprising citizens are begin
ming to see some of these needs. But
as "Celsus" says, We do not need so
naach talk as we need action. "Celsus"
Speaks out plain and we heartily en-
dorse all he says. The people of New
berry must meet these issues squarely
if they expect the town to grow. Rail
roads will not help US unless we help
ourselves and take hold of the advan-
taees they give US. Now is the time for
action.

A POSTAL CARD BALLOT FOR GOV
ERNOR.
Ex-Governor John C. Sheppard Heads the
List, with Capt. b. X. Tillman and Ex-
Governor johnson Hagood Close
ut His Heels.
from the News and Courier.

Some weeks ago the News and Cou-
rier had one thousand postal cards dis
tributed throughout the State, asking
for an expression of the choice from
the people as to their next Governor.
These cards were divided among the
counties in proportion to their popula-
ton, and great care was taken IN their
distribution to see that all shades OF
political opinion were given free, ex-
preston. An effort was made to have
all the cards distributed among repre-
sentative farmers, and special care was
taken to see that they were not all kept
at the county seats. Everything was
done to make the result real express
sion Of the choice of the people. These
cards asked for a first choice and a
second choice. In many instances
only first choice was given, and in
large number of cases the same name
was given for both choices. In such
cases the answer has been printed as
given.
The following summary will give the
result Of the balloting:

UNION, March 81 4 great deal of
interest is manifested just now among
the citizens concerning the route that
the new railroad will take through the
town. Three routes have been sur
veved; the first comes into the eastern
norton of the town, near the Baptist
church, the second, and best route,
runs through the western part of the
town, crossing Main street just below
theiail; all right of way has been given
to the Three C's over this line. By
taking the latter the two railroads will
have the business part Of the town
between them. The upper portion Of
town will be benefited largely by the
taking Of this route, as most of sthe
business houses have drifted down to-
wards the other railroad in order to
take advantage of the facilities gained
thereby.
The third route in view is one passing
directly through the main business
part of the town, between the store of
MIR. J. K. Young and the Union hotel.
It is probable that the route IN the
western part Of the town will be the
the utilized, as it has some advantages
over the other routes.
The line through town, wherever
it may be, has been contracted for oy

line making slight changes in the last
survey.

Jefferson Dayis's Widow
TGalveston News, March j..

1t may have been noticed that the
widow of Jefferson Davis, since his
death, signs her name ''N. Jefferson
Davis. ;" Many persons, doubtless, sup
pose she has added the name Jefferson
to her Christian name Earina. But
this is not the proper explanation. v.
is the abbreviation of,veure, the French
for widow, aud it the custom in Louis
lana. and perhaps in other parts of the
South. for widows to place that letter
before the Christian names OF their de-
ceased husbands. V. Jefferson Davis
simply means the widow of Jefferson
Davis.

some information about the DESTRUCTION
of the Broad River bridge OF the spar,

by tornado yesterday. The up tram
had not passed the bridge five minutes
before it keeled over and disappeared.
At 3 O'Clock, and hour after its destruc-
ton, the approaching down tram was
tagged and ran slowly to the river.
The nine piers were swept smooth.
not a fragment Of the bridge remaining
on them. The big boX-roofed structure
had disappeared, probably sH allowed
by the booming river after 1t had oeeh
dumped from the piers, ana three
hundred yards of trestling had collap-
sed. Number of trees had also been
prostrated by the tornado.
The train, which carried twelve
passengers for Columbia and eighteen
for Charleston, returned to Spartan,
burg, and the passengers came around
via Charlotte. 1t will take months to
erect new bridge, and the only eXpe-
dent the railroad authorities can adopt
meanwhile is a ferry.
The telegraph wires between mere

down. \ Western Union force Will be-
gin re-erecting them tomorrow.
