England's Fruits in the Middle Ages.

England = fuitS III the hluule ages.
It is a curious fact that in the Middle
Ages England was h2rticGlturally much
behind the continent of Europe In
Chaucer's time the English larder was
very ineagerly supplied with vegetables,
and butindifferently with fruits. Onions,
leelis, nettlcs. peas and mustard were the
only articles that then figured in the
short catalogue OF English vegetable
supplies There is no trace of the exist
ence of cabbage in England at this
period. In the contemporary accounts
of orchards there is no &llusiOn to plums,
only once to damsons. The pears were
poor, but the apples We're good. tits ques-

and strawberries had crossed the Chan

held in Columbia about the first OF
June, that an organ is wanted and to
devise ways and means to secure it, the
conference was called and held. But
it was not harmonious success, and
nothing definite was done. Some "got

Well, that is bad.
The Herald and News thinks that
Governor Tiliman would make a good
editor. He is a strong and forcible
writer, and would make the editorial
columns lively.
We did not think that the ''Domi-

Yesterday he arrived in the city and 1t

When seen he said he had met with
prominent men from the West, and
they spoke in fattering terms OF this
years prospects. He spent a day on
Staten Island, and, on his return, he
was one of a party of Alliancemen who
called on the President at the White
House and introduced themselves as
representative men from the Alliance
from the different States. The Presl.
dent received them with the cold

honor bound not to divulge the object

DR.. Macune and Mr.. Latimer.

To the Editor of The Herald and
News: L am delighted at Mr.. nati-
mer's reply to my criticism of his and
Mr.. AS attempted defense of DR.. Ma
cune, published in the Cotton Plant.
It is virtual admission by one OF the
whitewashing committee of just what
I was seeking, i. e., that Macune was
guilty by his own confession OF accept
inc from Calhoun a free pass over the
Richmond Terminal railway system,
and also loan of s., 900, and after re-
ceiving these personal favors, of sup
porting Calhoun with might and main
for the United States Senate.
I already knew that MIR. A. had per
sonaIly admitted Macune's guilt, aud
deplored it as olemish on his charac-
ter while defending him publicly as a
"Christian gentleman
AS to Mr.. Latimer's defense Of Dr.
Macune's action, I need say nothing.
may safely leave that to your lnte!il-
gent readers, alliancemen as well as
others, who have spark Of independ-
ence Of thought left" / would only
call attention to what difference 1t
makes whos4 OK is gored, and now Mr..
Latimer defends in DR.. Macune what
the Alliance so severely condemns in
others. For less grave ottenses on the
same line, one vice-president of the
United States and several eminent
Congressmen were consigned to well
merited oblivion. The acceptance OF
similar favors by public officials we
were taught only last year by our re-
form leaders in South Carolina-amonS
whom Mr.. Latimer was conspicuous
was "taming," 'bamboozling," ''de-
bauching," "bribery." But it is singu-
lar what change has come over them
since they are in possession OF the Of
fees, so much so that Mr.. Latlmer
even comes out in its defense.
But to sum up in brief We have DR..
Macune, the Grand Mogul Of the Alli-
ance. receiving important pecunlary
favors from Pat Calhoun, the paid at
torney of Jay Gould, the "brightest
flower in the garden Of monopoly" at
the South, and then using all his ef-
orts as the head of the Alliance, to send
Calhoun to the United States Senate.
Is such q man worthy the confidence
of our farmers? That is the question
for intelligent men to consider.
In conclusion, allow me to call Mr..
Iatilner's attention to an article on
Macune just published in the Nash
Vile American, which states the case
still stronger against him. White
washing will wear off. CIvls.

The Abbeville Medium says the
newspapers are not consistent, because
they are now objec;iag to Governor
Tiliman riding on free passes and did
not object to former Governors doing
the same.
Our esteemed cotemporary is mistak-
en-. The newspapers are not iobjecting
to Governor Tillman riding on a free
pass. They are only pointing out his
Inconsistency. Now cetemporary, you
will have to get up some other plea, for
consistency will not do. And with the

BUNCH MCBEE, formerly of Green

his way up from the ground.
When he, Lieutendant-General
Maulden and other young b!oods around
Greenville got through with their Wlld
oats after the war and soberly came to
the conclusion that they had to work
for a living, Young McBee went to At
lanta to see Colonel Foreacre, the then
Superintendent of the Piedmont Air
Line. He asked the superintendent
for work and told him that be was not
particular as to the kind of work so
long as he received employment.
Col. Foreacre looked at the young
man quizzically for a time, and asked
him if he did not want to take his
place?''Notyet, said McBee, "but hope
some day to fill it." well, 1 likeyour
pluck" replied the colonel. You can
report to Mr.. Brown, and he will give
YOU place as brakeman on the freight
train"
Col. McBee has worked his way from
the bottom to the top. He has been for
several years president of the Western
North Carolina, and of the Charlotte.
Columbia and Augusta. He under
stands his business, and is a very worthy
man. His wife is daughter OF the

The Herald and News will not pretend

appears to The Herald and News that
the World is now trying to get in with
the Alliance. and seems to be in favor
with Mr.. VIM. Stokes, president of
the State Alliance. The World evil

Cuttinq Garments.

OUR TEACHERS HAVE ARRIVED
" and we are now ready for business
in this place. The class is increasing rap
idly and the classroom will be open for
business on large scale soon.
Any person contemplating taking in
structions should make up their minds as
soon as possible, as We expect to finish the
place soon.
Miss Perry, one of orr most accom-
plished teachers, will have charge Of the
classroom, and the knowledge derived
from her instructions in cutting and put
ting together garments, doing all kinds
of drapery, gathering and plating are
surpassed by none.
Any lady can see that if you know how
to do the work you won't have any worry
of rebasting or changing, they can also
see that where the rebasting and chang
ing is done away with there is cloth saved.
Before you say you are perfect IN cut
ting, and don't need to take instruction,
see how long it takes you to cut and fit
dress, and how much cloth you use.
You can see from the testimonials be-
low what those who have taken and used
our system thinks about it. Every one
whose name will appear below had used
the cutter for from two to four months
when they gave us their names.
EDeEFIELD, S. c., June %, 1891.
Mr.. E. O. Black,
Dear Sir:
have tested your cutter thoroughly,
and most hearth y recommend it to all,
especially the mothers and working ladies
of the land I honestly wouldn't take
fifty dollars for the knowledge I obtained
through your teachers, and only wish /
had taken sooner. So many here regret
now that they didn't take, and ! wish it
| was in rly power to aid you in getting
this splendid system we'll established IN
! my dear old county town, for we don't
know how much of blessing it is until
| we learn its principles and merits. You
didn't recommend it to me near as highly
as I've found it, and all who have taken
here are delighted and can't recommend
it too highly. I don't know what I can
say to recommend it to the friends of my
old county town more than you can, for
| know you are the right man IN the right
| place. and if they would be wise and inde-
| pendent they would decide now and not
delay. have honestly saved enough this
season by the help of the Garment Gutter
to pay for it.
| Mrs. ORLANDO SHEPPARD.
Mrs. P. L. Wright, of Johnston, says:
| II have taken instruction in the National
Garment Cutter and found it to be as
recommended. I wouldn't part with it
for fifty dollars"
Mrs. Cox, of Johnston, says: 1--WE been
using my cutter about four months and
wouldn't take any price for it.
Mrs. Harrison, of Johnston. says: give
used my cutter for ladies, gentlemen and
children and consider myself second to
no dressmaker. I wouldn't part with my
cutter for ten times its cost"
We could give hundreds of testimonials,
but for the want of space we have cut
these short.
Ladies, be careful that you don't do
yourself and your family an injustice in
deciding this important question.
There is nothing that wears about our
outfit, so lady can use it until she gets
tired of it and turns it over to her child.
We teach each one to cut from a maga-
zine, so it never gets old style.
