A Country Doctors Big Fee.

In the summer of 1875, writes @. D.
Mason, l was sojourning with friend
for few weeks in a little fishing vii
lage on the coast of Maine. One night
nv friend was seized with sudden and
painful illness which necessitated my
summoning the only doctor in the viii
lage. who lived on a farm a mile dis
tant from our hotel and who combined
agriculture with the practice of medicine.
aroused the sleeping physician with
some difficulty and stated my errand,
but despite my opportunities he fatty
refused to leave his home, as it was
against an inacxibe rule to leave his
house at night, no matter urgent the
call. However, he generously consented
to compound mixture, with which
FASTENED back to the hotel, where
found nv friend racked with pain and
pleading for medical assistance. l
again traversed the road to the doc
tors house and thundered at the door,
determined to force or bribe the pill
compounder from his donlcile. When
the identity of the intruder was dis
covered the usually placid physician
became irate and somewhat abusive. In
vain [ urged the necessity of the visit
and pleaded the cause of humanity.
Finally I offered any fee, in or out OF
reason he might demand. This gradu-
ally softened him. and looking at me
critically to see the full effect OF bis
words, he said: "Eoung man, if l go up
there with you it will cost you a pretty
penny" Apprehensive of mammoth
fee beyond the resources OF compare
lively slender purse, queried somewhat
timidly, "What would you charges" to
which, with the same quzzical look
fixed on his face, the answer slowly
came: eff 90 up there tonight it will
cost you $1.50"
Joyously conseuting to the condition,
while concealing my amusement, l has,
tened home, and by recital of the
story put the sufferer in sucn good HUI
NOR that the doctor, on his arrival,
found the patient so far on the road to
recovery that two visits completed the
restoration. Subsequently J. learned
that the fees charged the villagers dur
ing the doctors exclusive practice among
them of four decades had been fifty
cents for calls made after midnight and
but half that sum for visits in the day

Mulberries.

The mulberry has been neglected tree
ever since the passing of the "Muticau-
lis craze" OF the thirties, although it
possesses decided value in ornamental
planting, aud some of the varieties, Pro-
fessor L. H. Bailey tells, are useful for
lodges, shelter belts and small timber.
Tae fruit has merit for dessert, is easily
grown and is produced more or less
continuously throughout period of two
to four months of every year. In
bulletin Issued from the Cornell Uni.
versity Station at Ithaca, N. Y, Profes-
sor Bailey names sixteen varieties as fruit
bearing kinds, the new American being
recommended for the Northern States.
Black Persian is occasionally grown in
the South and on the Pacific Coast.
Hicks is a heavy bearer of Indifferent
fruit, but valuable for poultry. Stubs
is a profuse bearer of large fruit. of ex-
cellent quality.
The Russian type is valuable for orna-
mental hedges. especially in the prairie
States, for planting sparingly as single
specimens or in groups and for small
timber. The mulberry is easily grown
upon ordinary soils. 1t is often tender
in the North during the first two or three
years.
The mulberry is propasated by cut
tings of the mature wood of the roots,
by root and crown grating, and by bud
ding with dormant buds in the spring..

Dug Up q Colonial Ship.

Maybe it is $50 years since the old ship
whose remains have just been uncovered
in Front street, New York City, sailed
the seas. She was ninety-footer and
three master, and she may have been a
ship .of-war, for an old bayonet was
found on her, as we'll as seven pound
cannon ball. The finders were workmen
engaged under Superintendent j. A.
Heary in excavating for the Front street
power. house of the Broadway cable
road. One day the Italian cellar-dig-
gers reported to Superintendent Heary
that they had struck solid timber aud
could go no further. Trenches were
sunk along the mass and it proved to be
the hull of an old sailing vessel, buried
almost twenty feet below the level of the
street. The oak ribs were as solid as if
they had just been turned out OF ship
ward. The ribs were eight by ten inches
and fastened together with wooden pins.
There was not all iron nail found about
the vessel.
An old salt said that he had always
known of tradition that an English
vessel had been sunk by the colonists in
New York harbor about the time OF the
tea riots in Boston. He was convinced
now that the tradition was founded in
fact aud this was the ship. Old maps
of the city show that just where the
vessel was found was at one time dock
fenced in by breakwater. The old hulk
may be that of the ship Judith, Nan
tuckct whaler, which was sunk off the
Battery in July, 1740.-Chicago Herald.

The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1893-02-15

The Newberry Herald and News
comes out frankly and says it favors
the saloon as against the dispensary.
We thought so, and if the truth were
known, many other papers which are
fighting the Evans Act have exactly
the same sentiments. Yet these same
papers pretend to be opposed to the
dispensary system because it is not
prohibition. Honest confessions would
unmask many of the batteries now be-
ing trained upon the dispensary Act
Register.
Just 50. The Herald and News has
always believed in honest confession
and statement of honest opinions. We
do not take position for policy's sake.
The Herald and News never opposed
the dispensary law because it was not
prohibition, for we have never favored
prohibition laws. But it has always
been queer to us, and we still do not
understand, how those who are really
ir favor of prohibition legislation could
favor the dispensary; for it is not only
not prohibition, but makes the State
all the people-dealers In and sellers of
liquor. Do you see the point?

ACANNISG FACTORY.

About year or two ago The Herald
and News advocated the establishment
OF canning factory at Newberry. No
one seemed interested in the matter,
and no one may be interested now, but
still we believe it would be good
thing for Newberry, and the section OF
country adjacent thereto.
It would not take a great deal of
money, and if the stock was divided
into small shares, say of $25 each, it
would be very small matter, and
nearly every one could take at least one
share.
Our sister town of Prosperity has a
factory, and turns out fine article of
canned goods, and finds a ready sale
for the same.
We are not informed, but we expect
they will declare dividend this year.
At any rate it has been good thing
for the town. It has furnished mar
ket for the fruit and vegetables of those
living near, and given employment to
good many people for at least few
months in the year, and has put some
money in circulation at dull season.
The Herald and News would be glad
to see some one interested in this mat
ter. The stock could be easily secured
if the right men will take hold.

THE CABINET UP TO DATE.
AS Arranged by knowing Cotclnporarie L

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The New
York Times prints to-day special
from Buffalo, which says that Presi-
dpnt-elect Cleveland has offered the
Postmaster Gcneralship in his cabinet
to his old law partner, Wilson S. Bis
sell. The Times thus disposes of four
places in Cleveland's cabinet: State
Department, Gresham; Treasury, Car
isle: War, Lamont; Post-office Depart
ment, Bissell. The special asserts that
Bissell has accepted the place.
LITTLE SAID AT LAKEWOOD.
LAKEWOOD, n. j., February 12.-Mr.
Cleveland will remain at Lakewood all
this week unless private business calls
him totown. He will invite such men
az he desires to see in connection with
cabinet or other high positions to visit
him here, and in all probability the
composition of his cabinet will be de-
fnitely known before the end OF the
week. Asyet no official announcements
have been made regarding any one OF
the portfolios, either by Mr.. Cleveland
or by the gentlemen who have been
asked to enter the cabinet. All reports
have come from friends of the men
whose names have been mentioned,
and excepting Mr.. Cleveland, probably
not more than those three men knew
definitely who have been asked and
who have accepted cabinet positions.
It is practically settled however, that
Walter @. Gresham has been offered
the portfolio of State and has accepted,
aud that John q. Carlisle will be Secre-
tary Of Treasury. These men have
admitted enough to relieve all doubt.
80 far as they are concerned. AS to the
rumors concerning Wilson ,. Bissell Of
Buffalo, Hoke Smith OF Georgia, Daniel
s Lamont of New York and II. A,
Herbert Of Alabama, nothing positive
can be learned. These men may be set
down as possibilities.
THE SELECTION OF JUDGE GRESHAM.
New YORK, February 12.-It is re-
ported, on authority which cannot be
questioned. that Judge Walter @,
Gresham has accepted the portfolio of
State in Clevelsnd's Cabinet. 1t is
remembered that Don NJ. Dickinson
made flying trip to Chicago a week
ago, and after an interview with Judge
Gresham, returned and reported results
to Cleveland. 1t is now said that Dick
inson obtained Judge Gresham's views
on some of the most important ques-
tions which will come before the next
administration, and expressed Mr.:
Cleveland's desire that Gresham should
be his premier. After Dickinson's re-
turn, the formal tender ofthe portfolio
of State was made by letter, and Gresh
am, after careful consideration, ac-
cepted.
It is practically settled that John &.
Carlisle will be Secretary of the Treas.
urv and Daniel S. Lamont, Secretary of
War. It is also settled that Hoke,
Smith, editor of the Atlanta Journal,
and the original Cleveland man in
Georgia, will be Secretary of Agricul-
ture. Wilson S, Bissell, Of Buffalo,
formerly the law partner of Mr.. Cleve-
land. is now slated for Postmaster
General, instead Of Attorney General.
Hillary A. Herbert, chairman OF the
naval committee of the House, is men
toned as the probable Secretary of the
NAVY, and there is talk of Congress
man w. L. Wilson, of West Virginia
for Secretary of the Interior.
The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1893-02-15
It is reported from Lakewood, Mr..

It is reported from Lakewood, Mr..
Cleyeland's home, that three men have
been practically decided upon for Cabi-
net positions and have agreed to accept.
They are: Judge Walter @. Gresham,
for Secretary of State; Jno. G. Carlisle,
for Secretary of the Treasury, and Dan
iel S. Lamont, for Secretary of War.
It is said that the other names men,
toned are mere possibilities. The Cab
met will likely be agreed upon def
nitely by the end Of the present week.
Mr.. Cleveland does not say anything
about these things himself.
There is some criticism at the selec-
tion of Judge Gresham, although all
his critics say be is a man of distin-
guished ability and of unimpeached
character; but he has long been Re
publican and only recently voted the
Democratic ticket. He was strong
supporter of Mr.. Cleveland in the last
election.
Mr.. Cleveland will do, we believe,
what he thinks is right and for the
best interests of his party and the
country, and he will not care much
what other people think of it.
