COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct, 20.-Ths phos-
phate troubles in this State are getting
more pronounced and the indications are
that the mining will be suspended on
account of their great losses by the storm.
The State board offered the companies
temporary reduction of the royalty to
so cents ton. In long letter to the
governor to-day the phosphate men say
the total reduction offered them by the
board, including the amount of rock on
hand when the storm came, would be
only $4,000, while it will cost about
5000, 900 to restore the plants. Even had
the storm not occurred they could not
have continued at that price and would
have had to stop. They say that they
are compelled to meet a fierce and in
creasing competition from Florida, which
State only charges so cents ton royalty.
The letter concludes by proposition
to the governor and the State board Of
phosphate commissioners that the roy
atty be reduced to so cents a ton for five
years, the contract to be sanctioned by
the legislature.
Governor Tillman has sent the phos-
phate men breezy answer in which he
regrets that the river companies "seem
disposed to drive a hard bargain with tho
State and demand concessions which we
cannot give" lie concludes, ~ may as
we'll say, once for all, that the board con-
siders that it has made all the concession
possible or proper and it Is unreasonable
in the miners to ask more. We will not
enter into any contract reducing the roy
atty to fifty cents ton for five years, nor
will we advise the legislat to make
any such agreement, The royalty in
Florida has nothing to do with the royal
ty here, and their river rocks cuts small
figure in the market. We were under
the impression, from what we saw in
Beaufort in September, that some of the
dredges should be put to work in thirty
days, and that by Christmas, at least,
half of them would be mining. do not
know what has been done toward resto-
ing the industry or whether it is intend
ed to resume mining at all, but the board
is not responsible for any delay and any
attempt to drive the State into yielding
more than it already has will inevitably
fail. We had just as we'll leave the rock
in the river as give it away. The condi-
tions offered by the board at Beaufort are
as liberal and just as we feel warranted
in making and unless they are accepted
at once and written notice given, royalty
on the rock on hand August 9th will be
collected at the rate of S1.O5 ton. If
you choose to so to the legislature and
make your plea there we have no OBJ
iections, but the board will not make any
change in the propositions already sub
mitted to you."

Mr.. EDITOR: If no one writes before /
do to your valuable paper, I will say on
account of the Committee program for
the Union Meeting at Townville being OF
so little importance, and ,uch a call for
money, and it 80 scarce, and nearly all
of the cotton crop being gathered and
sold, and brit little money left, they will
have lean turnout. But they will hear
a good sermon from Rev. O. L. Martin.
T think Prof. Holland may go, as he is
the clerk.
T hear Rev. VIM. Hawkins will take
dinner with Deacon VIM. Harper soon,
and as Deacon II. will have to slay his
beef, hog and turkey, why not call in the
poor, halt and blind, and give us all q
feast of his good things. Deacon II. was
born and raised near where he now re-
sides. His family connection is great.
I am thinking the County Com mission
ers arc very slack about their duty, as
the bridge across Six and Twenty, and
some other work, is not done as we ex-
pected.

The Use of Reyolyers by Cavalry

Few soldiers ever understood the Sc
cret of handling squadrons better than
did Sheriden, Custer or Stuart. Natu-
rally enough, when there were no tradi-
lions to go upon and not much time for
training, men turned instinctively to tn
weapon they We're most accustomed to
and rarely used their sabers until they
had exhausted their supply of cartridges.
A charge carried through with decision
swept opposition away by its rush and
volume. Riders We're endorsed and
chargers knocked over without the aid
of sword cuts, and men who had learned
to shoot on horseback made good prac-
tice with carbines or revolvers when
their foes had given way end We're fly
ing before them. An American might,
in fact, be trusted to look after himself
uncommonly well in his own fashion.
TWAS Quantreil especially whoshowed
how much might be done in this way
and how completely a cavalryman might
dispense with his traditional armament.
That daring leader, the Turcoman of the
southern states, equipped each of his fol
lowers with at least two revolyers and
taught them to shoot as skillfully with
the left as with the right hand. A good
swordsman would be as much at a dis
count in an encounter with such onqo-
nents as the bravest Afghan or Zuid al
the muzzle of Martini. Bat the spc-
cess of the revolver IN this particular In

use commercial fertilizers. and the other
is to seed to rye and as soon as rea
sonably good growth is secured pillow
under and SOW buckwheat. IL is not to
be expected that land so poor that it will
not grow clover will have sufficient
available plant food to grow even fair
crop of rye, but the blowing in of even
light growth will supply some vegetable
matter and generally sufficient to make a
crop of buckwheat secure a fair growth.
One advantage in sowing buckwheat
in summer is that it makes quick
growth and it soon shades the soil, aud
shade in summer aids materially in the
process Of nitrifcation. The buckwheat
can be plowed under early in the fall
and rye sown again, and in the latter
part of February or the first part of
March clover can be sown over this and
usually will stand, and if plowed under
will afford a sufficient amount of plant
food to grow crop, Vegetable matter
is necessary in the soil, and this growing
and blowing under of green crops is one
of the surest ways of securing it. Land
that is not so badly run down but that
1t will grow good crops of clover can be
built up with less cost, as clover can be
sown with small grain and the first crop
be cut for hay and the second be plowed
under as fertilizer. In this way the
cost of building up may be greatly re
duced.

The American Woman and Her Bath.

There is no doubt that women are be-
ginning to realize more and more the
Importance Of the bath. 1t no longer
continues to be perfunctory duty, to
be gone through with as matter of
course on Saturday nights, much as the
family washing is undertaken on Mon
day.
The relation Of cleanliness to goodness
has ceased to be of Importance. The
bath has grown to be considered, on the
contrary, close adjunct to woman's
beauty The fair sex has learned to
study the bath and its effects upon their
feelings, and incidentally the action of
tepid or hot water ON their fair skins and
its efficacy in softening and identifying
their compilations.
No longer can it be said that with the
majority of American women bath
means simply wiping the face with cor
ner of wet towel, even if the statement
was ever true.
The women of foreign countries in the
past undoubtedly had greater appreci-
alton of the near relation of the bath to
personal beauty than the women of the
United States. That great change in
this direction has been wrought is shown
by the greater intelligence shown by
American women today in the matter of
bathing, and their growing prediction
for what is known as Swedish massage.

Elizabeth Mailman died at the age of
SO in Pennsylvania recently. Her death
was the result of fall in which she
broke her collar bone. Up to two or
three years ago Mrs. Mailman had gone
west to Illinois nearly every summer to
visit her brother. She was the mother
of IS children. Only for the accident
that caused her death she would proba-
bly, have visited the Worlds fair this
summer and taken in all the sights with
her clear, strong eyes. That is the right
kind of an old age to have, the kind that
the whole human race will have when it
is civilized. Meantime we are glad we
have such people as Mrs. Hallman to
show mankind the right way of grow
ing old. Good rest to Elizabeth Hall
man!
