Cheap Australian Wool.

During the three seasons ended juno
80, 1892, the shipments of wool from
Australia increased by no less than 435,-
900 bales, or 80 per cent Of the total
quantity. During the year ended June
30, 1898, there was an increase of 50,-
900 bales additional, making the total
increase in the Australian wool clip
nearly 500, 900 bales within four years
The consequence of this enormous
growth in the Australian production
has been drop Of 80 per cent III prices,
and protection alone has saved the
American woolgrowers from being COM
PEELED to sell their wool for the some
money. The Australian clip is liable
to extraordinary and unprecedented
growth in the future, because artesian
wells have been sunk in New South
Wales and Queensland, affording an
abundant supply Of pure water to irri-
gate the arid lands of the tropics, thus
doubling the capacity Of the soil.
The writer has lived and worked on a
largo Australian sheep ranch in the
north of Queensland. There were 100,-
900 sheep running on 2o0,0 acres Of
land. One man, paid s. per week and
his rations of little flour, tea, meat
and sugar, cared for every 10, 600 sheep.
He had horse that fed itself as the
sheep did The sheep lands Of Australia
are valued at $5 per acre if they will not
carry one sheep per acre. at $40 If car
rying one sheep, at $15 if carrying one
and one-half sheep, and at $50 pc r acre
If the land carries two or more sheep.
There are over 100000 acres OF
land in one colony Of Australia alone,
held by only l46 persons, or 36,3OO
acres to each person. The cheap value
Of the land has been shown. It IS taxed
at Ia per cent only after its value has
reached $4,000, the amount below
that not being taxed. Farmers in the
United States cannot compete with
these ''robber barons" of Australia un-
less they have protection.

A New Idea.

The Observer wants, above all things
in politics, to see peace and harmony
among the white people in South Car
olina. We shall never nave anything
like prosperity or quiet or friendliness
until some arrangement is effected
whereby all the white Democrats in
the State shall have a voice in the
control of affairs-until it is recog-
nized that all Democrats have equal
rights in the party managementand in
the selection of Offices.
1t is the politicians and ofice-seek-
ers who keep the people at enmity
with each other. What do they care
for peace and prosperity so long
as they arc filling their private pur-
ses at the expense of bitterness and
strife?
What we would suggest as short
and fair method of ending this strife
is the calling of another convention
in March, April, June, July, or any
other month not a convention OF Of
fce-seekers and politicians, but OF
men who do not want office. How
would it do to have a convention OF
men who are not in politics, and who
will pledge themselves not to ask for
and not to accept any office-this con-
vention to arrange compromise tick
ct? Let the compromise be on any
fair and reasonable basis; give the
greater number of the Offices to the
"Reformers' all Of them if nothing
else will do-only select men who
will be fair to all the citizens of the
State and who will use their offices
for the promotion of the general wei
fare.
We believe there are enough citi-
zens of South Carolina who have
grown tired of trife to enforce some
kind of compromise, provided some
plan of effecting a compromise were
adopted. We only throw out the sug
gestion, leaving it's development tt
others, if 1T has any merit: - Ncml>y :,

4 Confederate's Stratagem.

During the Civil war, the Confeder-
ate Government could not undertake
to supply all its cavalrymen with
horses, if indeed it so supplied any of
them. They had to furnish their own
mounts and if a soldier lost his horse,
and could not replace it, he was COM
PEELED to take his gun and 60 to the
ranks of the infantry. To dismount
and become an infantryman was very
unpleasant thing for many reasons; !;
and the cavalrymen were often forced
to desperate measures to avoid it.
The Washington Post tells story
Of a Confederate cavalryman whose
horse had been killed in the autumn
of 1868, in askirmish near Warrenton.
He put his wits to work to devise a
way in which to capture one from the
enemy.
He was with the outside pickets,
and not far away, on the road, were
the Federal cavalry pickets. He pro-
cured from the railroad long piece of
telegraph wire, and when twilight
came, stretched it firmly across the
road, fastening one end to the fence
and the other to a tree, just high
enough to let mounted cavalryman
60 beneath it.
Then he sneaked down to the pike
and came in view of the Union mount
ed pickets. Three of them saw him
and quickly gave chase. He ran for
his life. 1t was a sharp pursuit, SO
that the Confederate had hardly pass
ed beneath his wire before the three
Union cavalrymen were upon it. In
the gathering darkness they saw moth
ing of the wire, and rode upon it at
full speed.
Two of the pursuers rolled upon the
ground-the breath knocked out Of
them, though, as the result showed,
they were not dangerously hurt. The
third, by some fortunate accident, es'
capped the wire but he was so aston:
ished and possibly frightened, think
ing himself in some sort of ambush.
that he turned and rode back to camp
Meantime the two riderless horses
bore down on the Confederate. He
watched his chance, and captured first
one and then the other, and rode of
in triumph to the camp, the possessol
of two excellent horses.
AS he was passing out of sight, he
saw the two Union pickets gather
themselves up in the gloom and start
terribly crestfallen, after their re
treating comrade.
1t is thus that war makes hero out
Of a horsethief.

in the men who are moving this expo
sition, and half Of the hard times have
vanished from Atlanta. These me-
chanics say that the newspaper is a
great factor in such movements and to
them they look to press the point that
there be not an unhealthy influx into
the city. The mechanics of Atlanta,
they say, cannot afford to be selfish,
but they think it only charity to those
at a distance to understand that there
are plenty here to do the work. Let
other towns and the whole country 60
to work, as Atlanta has-create work,
turn something up, and '94 will end
up with good cheer and prosperity.
And here, in the country, the peo-
pie are partaking Of the enthusiasm.
The exposition is all the talk. There
is but one sad man in our County
that is Brown. He swapped his
Texas pony off this week-the one
that SCARED him up Christmas from
the alarm clock. He swapped with
Gypsies again, and has now what l
call a trick mule. They tell it on
Brown that the mule he now has is so
trained that every time you jog him in
the side with your heels he sits down
behind-the Gypsies, they say, have
him trained that way. After the
swap was over the Gypsy and Brown
rode along some distance together.
Just after they left Whites store, at
Panthersville, Brown jabbed his mule
in the sides with his heels, and down
the mule sat, so sudden that Brown
had to hold to the mules esrs to keep
from sliding off. As it happened the
Gypsy switched his horse around in
the bushes and up flew drove OF par
tridges.
"What kind of action is this ?"
asked Brown Of the Gypsy.
"He's setter mule" said the Gyp-
sy; "didn't you see the birds ?"
This sorter pacifed Brown, and he
smiled to himself to think he had
mule that would set birds the same az
a dog. The two rode along together
sociably until they arrived at the
creek, where they stopped to let their
horses drink. When Browns mule
was through drinking he gathered up
his reins and jagged Mr.. Mule in the
sides with his heels, and down the
mule sat again, right in the water,
and wet Brown as wet as a drownded
rat. Brown Aoundered out Of the wa
ter, gathered a rock and was about to
go for the Gypsy, when that gentle
man explained that the mule saw
fish.
eyes," said the Gypsy, "the mule
will set fish the same as he will birds"
as he put whip to his horse and was off
over the hill. Brown followed the
Gypsy with wicked eye until he had
passed over the hill then he turned
and caught his mule, drew long
breath, and said:
"I'll-ber-dam |"
This may only be an old story ap-
piled to Brown, for what I know, but,
anyhow, his mule is for trade.
