Some Figures.

anything 1t would make but little differ.
ence, but that price for cotton does not
90 far towards paying debts.
It is we'll, however, to take occasion
ally balance sheet and see just how you
stand. 1t helps in laying plans for the
future and in applying the resources you
have on hand.
The cotton receipts at Newberry last
year we're about $1,000 bales-the total
crop for che County, ne suppose, was
about $4,000 bales.
The present crop is said to be short.
But say that the crop will reach $4,000
bales and that the receipts at Newberry
will reach $4,000 bales. That would
give us at present prices about s75O,OO0
for the County and S450,000 for New.
berry.
Now what have We got to pay with
this money. The amount due the bank
by the farmers is about s35O,OO0 and to
the merchants for groceries and dry
goods is about s175, 900, making total
of $525,OOO.
These figures are not accurate, but they
are approximately correct. Another
item of indebtedness that is not included
in the above is the guano, which amounts
| in round numbers to $4,000, which
makes the total s575,Ooo dure here in the
town Of Newberry, and it does not in.
clude many items.
To pay this there will be sold here say
$4,000 bales of cotton at $50 bala,
which only realizes $3.50, 1000.
But then ne must remember there are
some other sources of revenue to the
farmers, such as butter, eggs and chick
ems for all of which they realize consid.
erable money.
The farmers, too, this year have made
in nearly every case enough corn to run
them, and until this is done every year
times will never get better in this coun-
try.
These figures should demonstrate ono
thing, that ne are mutually dependent
one upon the other. The farmer and
| the man who lives in the country needs
the merchant and the bank, and they in
turn need the farmer.
Let us then cease this warfare on one
another and. go to work to help each
other and thereby help ourselves-Neso-

A FelOn's Stripes.

A dream, q midnight fancy OF sleep
ing mind, Melvin Bellah says sent him to
the chaingang for ten years. He sat in
the corner of cell No. 6 and told the
story to Constitution reporter, who
stood in the corridor of the station house
and listened to the mans weird relation.
1t was strange story, so strange, in
deed, as to sound like fish story. Az
the man spoke of the crime of which he
was charged, of the wife and children he
had left behind him, of the home he had
blasted, his voice was but slightly trem
ulouB, and he held down his face so that
the chaingang expression of his face
could not be seen In the Pickering gas
light.
Bellah is a typical farmer, of perhaps
thirty.two years, and his brown face il
covered by short growth of stubby, yell
low beard. he sat with folded arms and
answered all questions in listless sort of
way.
Two weeks ago Bellah WAS the head OF
a family, and fairly we'll to do, residing q
few miles from Rutledge, Ga, in Madi-
son. Tomorrow he will don the stripes
of felon convict at the Chattahoochee
convict camp.
Bellah married the daughter of Mrs.
Mary Fuller, wealthy widow, who re-.
| sided half mile from his home.
Two weeks ago tonight some one went
to Mrs. Fuller's home where she lived
alone and unprotected, and entering her
bedroom strangled her with pillow, and
after attempting to outrage her person
left her for dead. After an hour or SO
she recovered and crawled to neighbor
ing negro house and told the story.
About o'clock in the morning Bellah,
her son.in.law, went to the place, and
made search of the house, but found
her gone. de then went to .Ie negro
house, where he found her. He said
that he had been awakened by a
horrible dream concerning her. He had
dreamed that some one was numbering
her and springing up in a fright be hur-
ried to the house to aee if she was al.
right.
MIR. Fuller accused Bellsh of the set,
saying that he did it to gain possession
of her property, which would fall to her
daughter, Mrs. Bellsh, at her death.
Bellah was arrested and lodged in Jail.
The affair created intense excitement
on account of the prominent standing of
the parties.
Bellah was tried Saturday before Judge
McWhorter at Madison. He was ably
represented by W. R. Muslin. The
principal witness against him was Mrs.
Fulton, his mother.in.law. he was
convicted and given ten years. Bellah
steadfastly maintained his innocence.
Through the whole matter his wife re.
msined faithful. She believed her hus-
band innocent and did all she could to
have him acquitted. When her husband
was finally convicted the blow was
powerful one to her. In speaking of his
wife and only child last night Bsllah's

Insurance-Warran;Y-Loss

Where a policy OF insurance Of a
building occupied as storehouse and
as a dwelling against loss by fire TO,
one year from its date contained a
clause to the effect that if the premises
became vacant or unoccupied withou,
notice and consent Endorsed on the
policy the same should be void, the
Supreme Court of Illinois held (Bur>
ling,on Insurance Company vs.. Brock
Way, noted in the Chicago Legal
News, that the abandonment of the
building as a residence before a loss
would not under the policy defeat a
recovery upon the same where the
building con,inued to be used as a
storehouse. The court held in this
case that statement in a policy Of
insurance, or the application therefor,
as to the manner In which the build
ing insured is occupied is not war
ranty that i. shall! continue to be so
used during the existence Of the policy,
but is warranty only as to the pres
ent use. and that 10 constitute j. a
continuing warranty it must be SO
expressed by apt words.

Several Months Of a Teachers Salary
UNPAID.

There are several months salary
due to Miss Lille Brown, one Of the
teachers OF the HALEY public school,
with no prospects of he, getting paid
until next January, anyway. The
other teachers are paid up to the
beginning Of the present school month,
Miss Brown having kindly allowed
them to be paid mosey that she could
have claimed, as she had no imme>
date use for it. She expected to
get paid up the first of this year, but
the receipts fell short OF the liabilities
by over $1,000. She will, therefore,
have to wait for year or so for her
money as what may be apportioned to
the district in the meantime is not
likely to amount to what is due her.

Pleasures of Memory.

What a blessed thing is memory!
How it brings up the pleasures Of the
past, and hides its unpleasan,nesses!
You recall your childhood days, do
you not, and wish they would return?
You remember the pleasant associ-
atoms, while the unpleasant ones are
forgotten. Perhaps to your mind comes
the face of some friend. 1t was once
pale, sad face. 1t showed marks of
pain, lines Of care. It seemed to be
looking into the hereafter, the un.
known future. And then you recalled
how it frightened, how it recovered
its rosy hue, how it became a picture
of happiness and joy. Do you remem.
Der these things? Many people do,
and gladly tell how the health returned,
how happiness came back, how the
world seemed bright. They tell how
they were once weak, nerveless, per.
haps in pain, certainly unhappy. They
tell of sleepless nights, restless
days, untouched food, unstrung
nerves. And then they tell how
,hey became happy, healthy and
strong once more. You have heard it
often in the past, have you not? You
have heard people describe how they
were cured and kept in health? You
certainly can remember what it is
that has so helped people in America
If not, listen to what Mrs. Annie
Jenness Miller, who is known uni.
versally as the great dress reformer,
says: "Six years ago, when suffering
from mental care and overwork, re.
ceived the most pronounced benefit
from the use of that great medicine,
Warmers Safe Cure" All, now you
remember. Now you recall how
many people you have heard say this
same thing. Now you recollect how
much you have heard of this great
Cure. Now you are ready to admit
that memory is usually pleasing, that
the highest pleasure comes from per-
feet health, and that this great remedy
has done more to produce aud prolong
health than any other discovery ever
known in the entire history OF the
whole world.

Equal Rights Among the American
Indians,

AuuuUSs
Mrs. Elaine Good. L. Eastman, who
has personal knowledge of Indian
life. says that among our American
Indians the property rights Of wives
are fully respected. She says: 81
never knew an Indian to sell his wife s
ponies, or anything belonging to her,
without her consent. l have known
him to receive from a white man a
good offer, which he is anxious to &C.
cept. He merely replies: "The horse
is not mine; | must ask my wife.
He goes home and asks her SIM
ply If she will sell. If she says No,
he tells the white man, My vile does
not wish to sell, and nothing further
is said. More than this, an Indian
will very seldom sell horse, OF any
thing valuable of his own, or make
any important decision, without con-
suting the partner of his joys. /, is
very common reply to an offer Of any
kind, concerning change Of resi-
dence, the acceptance of position,
or sending the children to school, Il
must first ask my WIFE II an Indian
woman makes and sells pair OF
moccasins, the money is hers, ard she
uses it as she sees fit" In some
things the Indians might teach less
son to the more civilized race.

Virginia (Nsv.) Enterprse.l
A party OF personal friends dropped
into Mallon's yesterday afternoon
with the understanding that each
should put up quarter, the dice be
shaken and the winner treat. There
were six gentlemen in the group, blu,
before it came to the last two hand
was thrown which could hardly be
downed by six-shooter. Seeing the
hopelesspess of the situation, A and B
the tail end of the procession-made
a side bet. A led off with three of a
kind. B bet that he could beat the
throw. A bet him IS that he could
not. B ratified the bones, and the
result was a tie. A scooped the
stakes, as 3 failed to beat him-he
had merely tied. Then little argu.
ment arose which can only be settled
by sporting authorities. On the one
hand it was claimed that tie must be
settled by ''shaking off," while on the
other it was demonstrated that B had
failed to beat A and had consequently
lost. The facts and figures were laid
before an Enterprise man, whose de-
sision failed to please both parties,
and he now submits the case to either
Bob Patterson or Tom Buckner.
