THE DUTCH FORK.

I have often been requested to write a
history of the section Of country known
as the Dutch Fork. Such q request
can refer only to an account OF It's SET
tlement by white people, description
of its boundaries, and a narrative OF IN
cidents tending to portraythe characters
of leading individuals. All else IS prop
erly embraced in the history OF the
State of South Carolina. In comply
inc with this request, shall endeavor
in the following sketches to arrange IN
some sort of order the most prominent
events occurring in the Dutch Fork
within my recollection, as far back as
sixtv wears ago; and beyond that time
what I have gathered from legends
coming down through many years pre-
ceding my early boyhood. Nhen
these sketches shall be completed, 1t is
purposed to publish them in the form
of book, with the introduction here
and there, among them, of my Dutch
Fork stories printed many years ago.
and bevond the remembrance Of near
L. every one now living. These stories
are to be rewritten and republlshed IN
the forth. coming volume to illustrate
and recall the manners and customs OF
this community Of people, so remarka'
BILE for their sturdiness Of bodily cons
titution, honesty and untirinG ludus'
trv, fondness for humor, and simpler
tv in their unaffected love for God and
love for neighbor.
"The Easter Eggs" published last
week, will indicate the character OIL
these stories. Their titles are, "The Coz
Pine" ITO illustrate the old-time log
rollings and cardings; "Polly Pomper'

Times tomorrow will publish inter
views with prominent Democrats in
the State in answer to the questions:
(which IN your opinion, is the main

Can't Newberry Have an Arch:

To the Editor of The Herald and
News: Can't the County Of Newberry
Get up $50 or 5000 for the purpose OF
building an arch in Columbia for the
centennial celebration / have nc
doubt at all but there is just as much
pride in Newnerry County as any
other county in the State, and am
sure Newberry has the beauty, grace
and elegance in her young men and
maidens to design lovely arch. we
will never have this opportunity again,
for there will be quite a change while
the next one hundred years roll by
Let Newberry, Prosperity, Silver
Street, Chappells and Jalapa, and all
the people come up with their sui
scriptions for the arch. I know that
the people of Newberry who will attend
the centennial will regret very much Il
we don't have an arch that Newberry
failed to make a display.
Why can't Col. Purcell and Maj
H,alock begin the work for an arch,
each one of these fine looking officer:
would feel great deal better to see at
arch at the centennial. }. Is. I.

THE COLUMBIA CENTENNIAL.

The Columbia centennial will be
held in May 18th, l4th and 18th. Con-
siderable preparations are being made
to make it q success, and at this time 1t
will be delightful to visit Columbia. 1t
is one of the prettiest cities in the South,
and with its broad streets and beauti-
full trees will be doubly attractive at
this time.
Several of the counties are going to
have special exhibits in the way OF
arches, and will in other ways be great
ly advertised on this occasion. SO lar
as we have been Informed, NeWberry
is making no arrangements faran arch,
or an exhibit of any sind. The Herald
and News would have been delighted
ifNewberry could or would have had q
county arch, but nobody seems to be
willing to work the matter up. It is
not too late yet, however.
Special railroad rates will be given
and Newberry will send as large a
delegation of visitors as any county,
but special exhibit would have been
a big advertisement for US.
Newberry will furnish her military
company, however, to take part in the
parade and two staff officers-Col. {.
J. Purcell of Gov. Tiilman's staff and
Mai. l.. W. c. BlaIock Of Gen. Rich
bourg's staft:-will attend and take part
in the parade, and no county will be
able to furnish two more handsome ol
dashing young officers.
The centennial is going to be a sue
cess and if we cant have an arch, all o'
Us will 60 down and admire the other
county arches and have lots offun.

4 PRESIDENTIAL TRIP.

Of this week from the new York sun,
descriptive Of the cars i'll which lEeSl'
dent Harrison and party are making
their tour through the States. An es'
innate of the expense is also given
The Sun estimates that it will cost the
President something like Slo,WO, sup
posing that he is maintaining his dlg-
nifty and paying his fare.
1t will be very pleasant trip, but
very expensive one. If he falls OF ie-
nomination by his party, or OF re-elec-
ton in case of nomination, 1t Will IN
deed be dear trip.
But then this is a great country ana
is worth seeing, and the luxury ana
magnifcence Of the presidential train
makes it very delightful.

We have not heard anything from
the Coosaw case in whole week.
Judge Aldrich has decided IN
favor of the State on the points
raised before him, but Judge Simonton
has not yet rendered his decision. In
the meantime no rock is being dug from
the depths of Coosaw and the State IS
getting no royalty. But lit is all right
so long as it is right" and we presume
we can only wait and see.
The above is little premature as
will be seen from the following extract
from the Columbia correspondence OF
the News and Courier of the 2lst.
Coosaw is still with US anG is likely
to remain for season.

vice to-day of two notices in the Coo

TIN PLATE GALORE.

New York Press: Tell it not in
free trade circles, whisper it not
where Mugwumps denounce pro-
lection, let it not be known where the
tin plate liar does his.. dirty work for
the Welsh combine, but local pride
and truthfalness has evidently over
come all partisan consideration in the
editorial sanctum of the St. Louis
Post. Dispatch, when We find in its
stanchly Democratic columns the
following editorial:
The increase of manufactures in St.
Louis is 80 great and: evident that
nobody should question the announce
ment that the manufacture of timed
plate on a large scale will soon be
added to the list. There is every
reason for believing that st. Louis
will lead all other American cities in
this line of manufacture as far as she
now leads in the chemicals, boots and
shoes, tobacco, beer and several other
leading articles of commerce.
And not only has that carload of
nine tons of tin plate, which the
Times called a myth, materialized at
Utica, where it was ordered from
Laufman's by Miller & Son, but most
Of it was sold before it arrived, and
another car has already been ordered.

Minnesota Binding Irvine.

Saltwater Messenger: Upward of
900 pounds Of binding Irvine are
shipped daily from the prison twine
factory, and as the season advances
the demand is increasing, The cheap
prices quoted by Eastern manufac-
turers do not seem to catch the far.
mers of Minnesota who are placing
their orders for Irvine that can be re-
lied on for strenth aud quality. The
comparative strenth Of prison made
Irvine with other brands of twine is
wonderful, and many tests have been
made. The prison twind breaks at
from 120 to 1874 pounds strength, while
Eastern Irvine breaks at from 40 to Is
pounds strength. Irvine which is be-
ing offered as pure hemp by Eastern
men contains so much tow that it
makes it rotten and not nearly as safe
for use in the harvest field as Mime.
sota-made Irvine which is warranted
pure. One advantage offered to far.
mers by Eastern manufacturers is that
they can purchase their Irvine on credit.
Many farmers are 10 situated 6nan-
cially that thew are unable to pay
cash for Irvine, and are therefore com
PEELED to purchase it where they car
secure it on from three months to q
years time. If the prison factory
was 80 situated that it could offer far
mers the same inducements as are OK
tended to them by twine brokers and
manufacturers, it is safe to predict
that very little twine other than pris'
on-made twine would be used in this
state. The orders received at the
prison are not confined alone to the
state of Minnesota, but orders have
been received from different parts o.
Iowa, Wisconsin and Dakota.
