HOME INDUSTRIES.


There is probably not State in
the Union that does less to patron
ize home industry than Nevada.
This fact is brought to our mind
more forcibly by having received
this week a lot of bread sent from
Reno, made out of flour manufac-
tured by the Riverside Mills, of that
place. The Mill Company has
taken a novel way of placing its
goods before the public, but it ought
to count for whittier, cleaner or sweet
er bread cannot be made from any
-four than the sample loaves sent
throughout this county this week.
It seems as though it ought not
to be necessary to call upon the peo-
pie of this State to patronize
home industry of this kind, for the
people should understand what
benefit it is to them. Nevada prob
ably raises the finest wheat in the
world, and this year her yield will
be quite large. Our farmers cannot
expect to ship their wheat to Cali
fornia and compete with California
wheat, for such a scheme is entirely
out of the question; but they can
make money by selling it to the
Riverside Mills. Now if the mills
cannot find a market for their flour
it is so much the worse for the
farmers, for then they cannot sell
their wheat. tits believed that this
year the Reno mills will get all the
wheat they can use from this State,
at any rate they will have to send
to California for very little of it.
The company has always shown its
preference for Nevada wheat and
bought all that was offered for sale
at reasonable figures. This being
the case, and the Reno flour being
equal, if not superior to, California
brands Of flour, why should not the
people of this State turn in and eat
up the home supply, instead of
sending their money out Of the
State?
The Reno mills have built up
quite trade in the State, but they
are not running to their full capac-
ity as they should be.
There is not store in Dayton
that keeps Reno flour for sale, and
if persons here want to get that flour
they have to send direct to the mills
or to Carson or Virginia City. We
believe this is wrong, and think that
merchants make a mistake in doing
business this way. If they do not
make any more on sack of Reno
flour than they do on McCreary's or
Pioneer, they should prefer to sell
the former, for by so doing it is in
creasing the demand for Nevada
fourand Nevada wheat just so much
more, and thereby inducing the
farmer to raise more wheat.
We understand that the Reno
Mill Company is making arrange
ments to have its flour handled by
an agent in Dayton, and it is to be
hoped that nobody will buy any
other kind of flour after the agency
is established. There is no doubt
that the -four is equal to any -four
made. We know this because we
have tried it and gone to the incon-
venience of sending to the mill for
it in preference to purchasing other
brands at home. Give the Reno
-four a trial, at any rate, and then
if you are dissatisfied with it you
will have a good excuse for not pur-
chasing any more of it.

A REPUBLICAN RALLY.
A State Convention Called to NIsot Next
April.

April.
COLUMBIA, S. G., Dec. 1S.-It is re-
ported that small number of Repub-
licans from all parts Of the State held a
conference in this city recently and Or
ganiZed what shall be known as the Re-
publican State Central Committee. The
special duty of this committee will be
to organize a plan of campaign for 1892.
Steps were also taken looking to the or
ganlZatlOn of a Congressional commit
tee to call a Congressional convention
TO elect delegates to the National Re-
publican Convention which will be
held at Minneapolis June 7th, 1892. 1t
is claimed that there was an infusion of
new material into this movement.
Among those mentioned as being
present were Simeon Corley, of Lexing-
ton, j. Hendrix McLane, of Bosting, V.
L. Clayton, of Columbia, g. &. Mem
Munger, OF Charleston, Frank Nichols,
of Greenville, Jas. f. Harmon, of Lex.
lngton, June Wigg, of Beaufort, l.. M.
Stoe0ler, and j. G. Hunt, of Union, +.
NJ. Prickett, of st. Matthews, o. II.
Bowen, kershaw, u. G. johnson, Col
umb1a and w. b. Mason, Greenville.
All or these parties are white except
Wlgg, johnson and Mason, and it may
be said in passing that most of them
are postmasters or hope to be some of
| these days.
Now this heterogeneous congregation
or aggregation, whose political Opin.
ions, when sifted, are no doubt as varie-
gated as they are themselves, would like
either to DC it themselves or be instru-
mental In shaping the politics of this
| lo;,
there are many white men in this State
who are genuine Republicans. There
may be but they only show up about
Federal oflicesharing time. 1t is also
held by these political solons that the
people Of this State ought to be divided
INTO two IiStinctively political parties.
that's the case now but it would ap-
pear as 1T these organizers are looking
towards third party, which is to be
made up out Of any and everything
which is in opposition to the Democrat
ic party. The precluding of the organ
lZatlon OF worthy Republican party
has detarded the development of the
natural resources OF the State. Well if
And again; people can't be happy and
prosperous under Il race party or one
party idea. Shades of &c.
After getting of good deal more of
this kind of stuff an earnest appeal is
made to the worthy and intelligent
colored man, but it is safe to say that
the worthy and intelligent colored men
OF this State will not lend their aid to
any movement in which j. Hendrix
Mclhne is shining light. a State
convention Of the party is called to
meet in this city on Apri, 18th, 1892, to
elect four delegates al large to the Ma
ilonal Republican Convention which
Will meet at Minneapolis June 7th, 1892.
I'm" call for this convention is signed
hy Chairman ID. w. Fowler, Vice Chair
man T.. Nj. StOeber, Treasurer w. T..
Cain, Recording Secretary Jackson
Courts, Corresponding Secretary l.. g..
Johnson. The above constitute the ex.
ecutiNc committee or the new party

And teach his friends these mysteries" ="
She died last night, and all this day

Some message to my troubled mind.

That white rose dying in the cup
Was gazing at me with her smile

1t paled then with an agony
Of enCrt to tell me aught
Tltat would, l think, bring peace to me

And when the wind rose at my door,
1t clamored with plaintiYe din,
Like some poor creature begging sore

1t blew my light out: round my head
1t whirled, and swiftly in my ear
Had whispered something ere it fled;
1t had her voice, so low, so dear.
The loolIing-glaSs this livc-long day
Has worn that curious, meaning air.

Rejecting things that are not there.
For hours no breath of wind has stirred,
Yet bends the lamps flame as if famed

A Bad Bill Killed.

The special committee appointed to
reapportion the Congressional districts
of the State, in accordance with the
recommendation Of Governor Tillman,
reported bill for the considera-
tioD of the House. A majority of the
committee were not in favor Of making
any change In the lines of the districts
at this time, but made a report in
obedience to the instructions contained
in the resolution under which they
were appointed. The following table,
which we take from the News and Cou-
rier, shows of what counties the several
districts as proposed in the bill were
composed and the population of each
district by races.

OUPEO BY HIS BROTHERS.
How Cltl1on OF Columbia Was Induce

How CltiHon OF Columbia Was Induced

COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. 19-Lewis
Stroyer up to couple Of months ago
was a comparatively prosperous man
and lived with his family in peace and
contentment. Now he has not a cent
OF this worlds goods and his two broth
ers are responsible for his condition.
The story Of his rise in life and his
fall is an interesting one and is here
given. Stroyer was apriVate in Sher-
mans army and was with that General
when he captured this city and burned
1T 3to the ground and left its people
hardly a thing but the ground upon
which they walked.
Stroyer did not go on with the army,
but staid here, though what induce
mentS could have made him DO so prob
ably he himself could not tell. But he
staid, and after things quieted down he
went to work and by industry and frug-
al1ty he got quite q start in life. II was
a man Of good business instincts and
gradually added to his possessions until
he gained a fair competence. lie owned
a store back of the State House, where
he did good business and also owned
a small farm near the city, which
brought him additional income. That
was mis- condition up to about nine
weeks ago. He had never told his
family where he was and they supposed
he was dead.
But it happened that his two brothers
dritted to this city nine weeks since
and accidentally discovered their long
lost brother. The reunion was q hap
py one and many were the inquiries
made on either side as tc personal eX-
periences since they 'ra1 last met. The
two brothers told Mr.. Stroyer of their
home In Ohio; how they and their faith
or had "struck it rich" and owned
several oil wells; how the cold man"
lonaed to see his face again and by such
talk finally persuaned him to go to
their .hOme in Ohio and share the for
tunes produced by the oil wells. Mr..
property in this city at sacrifice of
about fifty cents on the dollar.
Ollie went to Ohio and saw, and was dis.
gnsted, to say it mildly, at the deception
practiced upon him by his brothers. The
oil wells were myth, or about the
same thing as Tar as paying handsome.
iy is concerned. lie found that he had
been at great expense in taking his
family to OHIO and after staying there
u while he determined to come back to
South Carolina, because. he said, chat
was the poorest country in the world"
lie came back and when he got here he
found that the proceeds of the sale of
the property had dwindled away to
nothing. He will make new start
and hopes to retrieve his fortune, which
all who read the story will sincerely
hope he may.-Reccrd.

A Split In The Party.

New ORLEANS, Dec. lG.-The lot
terry questio has caused split IN the
Democratic party Of the State. 1t ls
the most seri Gus that has ever occurred
in Louisiana. Both factions OF the lottery
wing and the anti-lottery wing held
caucuses last night in Baton Rouge.
The caucus OF the latter lasted nearly all
night aud was very exciting. 1t was
finally decided to ask the lottery men to
put an antl-lottery plank in the party
platform, threatening to bolt if it was re.
jected. 1t was rejected, and the bolt
was declared.
The State central committee met this
morning, but none of the antis attended.
The committee appointed hunted up the
absent members and were told that they
had left the party for good and had
started new party, and would hold a
separate convention. The regular
Democratic convention, composed of pro-
ljttery men, met at PIke's Hall. Fifty
parishes and wards were represented
and 544 delegates were present. The
antls met with thirty-nlne parishes and
eleven wards and 474 delegates in at
tendance. Both conventions devoted
themselves mainly to organizing. The
Regulars will nominate Ex-Governor
Nc Emery and the ants will vote for Mr..
Adams, president Of the Farmers Alli-
ance.

Pass Thorn Around

The State, Of last Monday, publishes
the following account of a swindle that
was played OH the people of Columbia: {:
"a week ago three neatly dressed men
came to Columbia and took quarters at
the Waverly House. Now they are
gone, and when this is read many unsus-
pecting Columbians will be poorer but
much the wiser. Mrs. Turner the pro-
prietress of the boarding house, had
been pushing the young men for their
board bills, when yesterday morning
they skipped out at daylight and took
the early train for Augusta. When they
came here they at once began to canvass
the city for pictures to enlarge. They
required so cents in advance, and went
to almost every residence in the city.
They took largo number of orders, 1t
Is said including one OF the Governor
family. When Mrs. Turner went into
the room yestrday morning she found
this note lying on pile of siXtytwo
photographs, some OF them showing the
faces Of the most prominent people in
the city: "We thank the owners OF
these pictures very much for their 81
cents. They can have their pictures
back, as we are too poor to have them
enlarged" When Mrs. Turner read
this she forgot her own loss and enjoyed
the prospects of the fun there would be
in many households today. To The
State representative she said: "Just
tell the owners of these photographs for
me that if they will come to the Waver-
ly house they can have their faces back,
but not their money" We are glad that
the three rascals were caught and Gagged
while trying to work their little game
on the people Of Batesburg.
. TIE NEW ORLEANS DELTA says the
profits OF the Louisiana Lottery COM
pany are $3O,OO0,0OO year. 1t is not
surprising that the lottery men are
making a hard fight to hold their grip,
and 1t looks very much from the reports
OF the primary meetings recently held
that they have 1t.
