ICEHOUSES.
How TO Build and How to FIJI with Least
Expenditure of Labor and Money.

How 70 Build and How to Fill with Least
Expenditure of Labor and Money.
At an annual convention of Iowa
dairymen, reported by The Farmers Re-
view, the subject of icehouses was intro
duced by Professor D. A. Kent. Among
fhe important points made in his talk
one was that the sawdust for the pack
ing of the ice must be dry to preserve
perfectly the ice. One of the dairymen
present was of the opinion that cut straw
was as good for packing as sawdust, but
this was not agreed to by other men
present.
The question, shape of the icehouse,
was brought up. Professor Kent said
that a square house would preserve the
ice better than long and marrow
house. This was evident when it was
considered that the square house would
present less surface to the sun and heat.
In building the walls of his house he
would set up his studding thirty inches
apart and seal them both inside and out
side. He would then put on building
paper and board again over that. Some
make dead air spaces.
Q.-Would it not be advisable to make
openings at the bottom of those dead
air spaces, SO that there would be cir
culation Of air?
A.-No, sir; nothing would be gained
by that.
Q.-What do you consider the best
system for draining an icehouse?
A.-The best system is to have the
So al +nI Sc
venient, so that there will be nat
ural tendency Of the water to run off.
Then as a sort of floor for the building
lay some by 4 joist very close together
and cover them with sawdust
Q.-Would gravel bottom answer
without anything else2
Al think not. If you used gravel
as a foundation, you would need to use
sawdust over it, because you would need
the sawdust to act as an insulator for
the ice. Iwould lay the joist six inches
apart, and when put in the ice would
lay each cake up edgewise. / would
leave space between the whole ice and
the walls Of the house, and this would
fill in with broken pieces of ice and saw
dust.
Q.-Would it not be policy to build an
octagonal building for the sake of econ
omizing space, material in building and
decreasing surface exposure?
A.-One difficulty about that or q
round house would be in cutting your
blocks of ice to fit it. So far as the saw
ing of expense is concerned to hold, say,
500 tons of ice, the cost is SO small as to
be worthy of little consideration. What
must be looked out for is hot air.
Colonel Mower said that one thing
that should be looked out for particu-
larly was fire. He believed it to be
fact, as reported sometimes, that more
icehouses burn down than of any other
class Of buildings. The reason for this
must be connected with the sawdust or
straw and spontaneous combustion. He
believed the only rule for building ice
houses to be the rule of common sense.
Drain we'll, keep out hot air, and with
proper packing of the ice the question
was solved.

Heads or tails, there is yet no

what 90 farmers out Of every 100
thinks on the subject. While we
are poor ignorant creal II res, we are
not yet advertising ourselves for
sale at 5 to % cents, and the said
commercial club will have to use
more than one rabbit foot before
they can do US up on that racket.
There ara several wagon yards now
in operation in Waco, and it seems TO
"a old anonym Jus tha. IL would be
unconstitutional and against all law
of right for this said club TO start

monopoly, in small way, ever
started ia waco. 1t would sumha3-
tioate and drive all these yards out
of business. ltwould not be doing
unto others as the said com nercial
club would want to be done by.
Suppose big syndicate would start

Think of this, gentlemen, OF the

II am afraid of nothing on earth, or
above the earth, or under the earth,
except to do wrong. The path of duty
I shall ever endeavor to travel, fearing
no evil and dl eading no consequences. !"
These are words that were spoken
by Alex. H. Stevens, Georgia's great
Commoner. They are noble words,
and the pity is that we have not more
men in public life who are guided by
the same earnest desire to follow the
path of duty. Too often it is that men
are diverted from the path of duty in
order to please the populace and gain
popular applause for the moment, for
it is not always that the crowds are
right. What we want in our leaders
and would-be statesmen is a conscien-
tious and continuous desire and effort
to do the right and let the consequences
take care of themselves; but how sell
dom do we find it, and when we do,
we have to stop and admire it. But it
is profitable to follow the line of duty
for rights sake. Mr.. Stevens was pop
ular beyond any of his contemporaries,
and spent the whole of his life in the
public service. How often it is that
that those who try to drift with the
popular wave, whether duty points
that way or not, are forgotten, while
men like Stevens will live forever in
the hearts and minds of their country
men.

The citizens of Yorkville have voted,
by an immense majority, to expend
$4,000 in equipping water works sys-
tenn. Newberry is also agitating the
question of water works and electric
lights. Progress is the rule, rather
than the exception, all over South Car
olina, notwithstanding the hard times.
It is effort to create prosperity and
wiring from adverse circumstances that
competency we once received without
effort.-Sulnter Watchman and South
ron.
Newberry, we are sorry to say, is not
agitating much. We are 50 dead to
anything like Improvements that We
have been unable to arouse even kick
against the subject. We are afraid
that Newberry is perfectly satisfied
with herself; and when town gets
that way, and there is no concentration
of effort for the general good, there is
not much progress.
There was an immigration meeting
here the other day, and twenty-five
subscribers were secured to a. paper in
which we are to have monthly write
up.
We need to wake up as well as to be
written up.
Our moneyed men have plenty for
themselves and they do not seem anx-
ious for anything more.

If there ever was time when it was
necessary for the white men of South
Carolina to stand firmly together, and
not allow petty differences to drive
them apart it is now. Look at what
the opponents of the State administra-
ton have been catering to recently.
See how they are gradually getting to
the point where the mask will be raised
and they will openly declare their in.
tention to make coalitions with the
negro.-Sumter Herald.
The conclusion from this statement
is that, according to the Herald, the
only white men in South Carolina are
those who are in favor of the present
administration.
It is just such rot as this that keeps
the people divided. What The Herald
and News wants to see is all the white
people united. Ifthey get much fur.
ther apart, each faction will try tc
make terms with the negro, for he will
hold the balance of power. We hope
to avert any such calamity and we are
using our best endeavors to get oul
people united.
Certain men and newspapers, how.
ever, seem anxious to keep up the strife,
for by it, and by it alone, do they keep
themselves prominent and are able to
feather their nests.
Let all this bitterness and abuse be
stopped, and let US recognize each othe,
as men who are honestly and sincerely
interested in the welfare Of the entire
State.

ABOUT THE DIsPENsARY.

The Attorney General has been
giving several decisions on the dispen-
sary law, but here are two that are of
special interest just now, as they relate
especially to the applications for ap-
pointment:
. "The Attorney General has answered
the following questions in reply to in
quiries about the Dispensary:
"Your letter OF the 25th inst, just
received and I will answer without de-
lay:
Your first inquiry is as follows:
4. Whether the county board OF
control could appoint person to the
position of County Dispenser without
his application being endorsed by a
majority of the freehold voters Of this
placer
No.
~. Ifan applicant should present his
application endorsed by a majority Of
the freehold voters Of the place, and be
should be rejected, then could the
board appoint some other applicant
who was not endorsed by the majority
of freehold voters?"
No.
It will be seen from this decision that
before the board of control can appoint
any one as dispenser he must have to
his petition majority of the freehold
voters of the town in which the dis
pensary is to be established. Monday
was the last day for filing applications
as announced by the county board OF
control. A careful examination of the
petitions on file shows that they have
not a majority of the freehold voters
to them. From this it would seem that
Newberry is not to have dispensary
after all. Those persons who announced
several months ago that Newberry was
to have dispensary were little pre-
vious. That was all. They did moi
mean any harm.

Just as we said last week, The Regis
ter sees scarecrows and has the night
mare over everything that has the
show of opposition to the "dominant
element" It is terribly exercised now
because the newspapers as rule have
said but little about the position of
Senator Butler on national questions
as announced in bis interview pub
ished last week.
Console yourself in patience, dear
fellow. Senator Butler has announced
where he is at, and it is not new posi-
ton. He has been there q long time.
If he agrees with you, why have you
not a word of commendation for his
wisdom, instead of trying to misrepre-
sent him and ridicule him?
The main feature of the Alliance de-
mands that was discussed in this State
more than any, other was the sub
treasury scheme; and if we remember
correctly the Alliance demands are
dead set against State banks of issue.
Keep yourself cool, and don't see so
many "boogers."

WRONG.

The Georgetown Times speaks very
disrespectfully of Governor Tillman.
At one time Mr.. Doar was a great ad.
mirer of the Governor. It was when
he was an Office holder. He may have
good cause for changing his position
We don't question that. But ne should
not refer to the Governor of South
Carolina as "Ol6 Ben." That is
wrong, and just such stuff as this has
helped to keep up the bitterness and
strife in South Carolina. A majority
of our fellow Democrats and white
men put him in the Office, and while
we may think they were wrong, he is
the Governor and we should treat him
with that respect due the Office he fills.
His public and official acts are proper
subjects of criticism, but let our criti-
cisms be in proper language and eour-
teous. Abuse is not argument or rea-
son and is generally resorted to when
we have no argument on our side. No
good can come of applying ugly cpl
thets to the Governor. 1t is wrong.

Editor Nettles, Of the Sumter Herald,
takes the Rev. Mr.. Watson severely to
task for saying that he was told by
Senator Evans, of Marlboro, that the
conference in Columbia was for the
purpose Of considering the advisability
of calling an extra session of the Legis.
lature to amend the dispensary bill SO
as to give the Governor power to estab-
lish dispensaries in every county. He
is rather severe on the Rev. Mr.. Watson
and says he betrays confidence, and
not only so, but evidently misrepre-
sents Senator Evans. Mr.. Nettles says
he was present at the conference in
Columbia and the calling of an extra
session Of the Legislature to ap'"nd the
dispensary law was not the object Of
the said conference.
Well, if he was present he ought to
know.

President Cleveland has appointed
Mr.. r. w. Harris postmaster at Union.
It will be remembered that Mr.. Harris
was a delegate to the national nomi-
mating convention and voted for Mr..
Cleveland, and also, later, had the dis
tinction of being on the black list sent
by the Governor to Mr.. Cleveland.
He also had the opposition of Senator
Irby, but was endorsed by Senator
Butler and Congressman Shell.
It would seem that Governor Till
mans black list will not have much
force. 1t may work better in the case
of the two editors and the Alliance
president. but we hardly think so, if
the president makes up his mind to
appoint any one of them.

A USELESS pIscUssIOS.

The State and The Observer are en-
gagged in useless discussion over the
differences Of 1890. It is not only use
less, but can result in no possible good,
and may do much harm. When an
old sore is about healed up, if you be-
gin to rub and scratch it you only
make it worse than it was before.
We want to be rid Of the isms of
Haskell, Tillman and all that sort of
thing. It is no use for our contem-
poraries to be warning" each other.
The candidacy Of Judge Haskell was
irregular and wrong, and everybody
admits that. We have never ques-
toned the motives of those who voted
for Judge Haskell. We believe that
he and his followers were sincere and
conscientious, but made terrible po-
litical mistake; but what is the use, at
this late day, to discuss the matter and
to wrangle about it?
Their action was considered by the
organized Democracy in 1892 and it
was decided that they would be al
lowed to vote in our Democratic pri-
maries. That action put them on the
same footing in the party with other
Democrats; and we all should stand
together now and work for the good of
the State. But We cannot do this by
always raking up old scores that have
been settled.
It is true that the campaign speakers
made capital ont Of it last year, but
that was for want of something else
with which to. arouse the prejudices
of the people. Reputable and peace
loving newspapers should not volunta-
rily stir the old ashes.
We say, too, "let US have peace" but
we will never have it if all these old
scores have to be rehashed.
