Another sImIIar STORY.


Another similar story.
Mr.. Stoddard asks for an explanation
that will commend itself to reason. The
following true story is offered in explana-
ton. The farmer to whom the circum-
stance happened is bright, well-educated
and well-read man, whose word would be
accepted without question by all who knew
him. SO says the New England Home
stead. Several years ago, during his oat
harvest, he told his wife after dinner that
they would stay in the field quite late that
evening, as by so doing he could finish cut
ting the oats. In the family was young
girl, perhaps seven or eight years old; a
neighbor had one about the same age who
use to come over to play with her nearly
every day. The farmer and his help went
to the field and hltched up and started his
harvester. He made a few trips, when on
one of his rounds, on the side of the field
nearest his house and barn, the thought
was forced upon him, 81 must go to the
barn or the children will set it on fire."
Such an idea had never entered his head
before, and he shook himself together and
thought to himself, "What nonsense;
nothing has happened to make one suspi-
cious and 1t Is all nonsense. | am in
hurry and wont CO." He kept on with his
work, but it was difficult to keep on with
the round. The next time the same i'm
preston was felt, and was harder to disre-
gard than the first, and the effect lasted
during the trip. When he came around
the third time he stopped his team and
tried to reason himself out of the uncom-
Portable feeling, but he could not, and final
ly he said to himself, 81 must go to make
sure. OF course it is all foolishness, but l
cannot help it, though 1 hate to lose the
time" He went to the barn, considera-
BILE distance from the field, good five min
utes' walk, and found the two little girls
with pile of straw, and his little girl with
a match all ready to light the pile 1t was
in the COW stable, with hay litter all about,
and once fire was started no power on
earth could have saved the barn and con-
tents, and perhaps the children. The barn
was new and valuable and the money loss
would have represented years of labor.
This story was told in the presence of the
farmers wife and the little girl, now quite
large one, who said, 81 shall never forget
that day nor what happened when papa
caught me-" Some unseen, unknown pow
er compelled this man to leave his work
and look after the safety of his barn and
the children. d. L. NJ.

ReInforcements for Cuba.

Two bodies of insurgents successfully
landed in Cuba last Thursday. They had
with them two cannon, 100000 rounds of
ammunition, 500 pounds of dynamite, and
hundreds of repeating rifles and revolvers.
One expedition consisted of 27S men and
the other of 70 men, almost all of them
veterans of the last revolutionary war in
Cuba. The expedition started from two
bays in the Bahama islands and were taken
in small boats to several sailing craft
which conveyed the whole party to Cnba.

To wed you both / would be fam,

One lover is like music sweet,
That steals my heart away;
And one is like the trumpet blast,
Which calls me to the fray.
One is of gentle, courteous mind,
To low and high degree;
And one is stern and harsh OF mood,
And melteth but to me.
One ia so strangely lovable,
That but to touch his hand
Do women kneel-before the one
Do men uncovered stand.
And if l this one do not we'd

And II that one / do not wed,
He sorroweth a week.
My lovers twain-my lovers twain,

of keeping an operator in the contrsl
Office, which is the heaviest item of ex-
pense in the conduct of an exchange.
With this expense out of the way, the
management could make low rate at
once. We could erect lines to neighbor-
ing towns, say Bolton, Honea Path, Will
liamston, Pendleton and other places,
and no doubt the citizens of these places
would be glad to subscribe to it.
The Bell Company, we hear, will put
the city in connection with other towns.
We do not, however, know upon what
terms or conditions, but suppose upon
their usual plan, which is, we believe, to
require citizens of all towns with which
the connection is made to subscribe a
certain per centage of the cost of the lines,
for which they give coupons to be used
in paying for use of the "long distance
line. When these coupons are exhausted
the service has to be paid for in money.
We think our citizens would do we'll to
look into the relative merits of these two
enterprises before committing them
selves. The Anderson Company is
strictly a local affair, aud while the
means to erect it at once are in sight, 1t is
desired by the incorporators thatas many
as possible of our citizens be interested in
it. The books of subscription will there
fore be kept open awhile, and any one
desiring to subscribe to the capital stock
can do 30. The shares are S25 each.

Big Prizes for Big Pigs.

The News and Courier will pay 500 In
gold to the two farmers or other persons
who shall raise the two heaviest hogs in
South Carolina during the year 1895. This
amount will be divided into two prizes.
The prize for the biggest hog will ba
eighty dollars in gold, and for the second
biggest hog twenty dollars in gold. A
third prize for the hog showing the larg-
est gain at the lowest cost, will be COM
plete set of the eAmericanized Cyclop@dia
Britannica, bound in morocco and con-
sisting of ten volumes.
The only condition of the contest is
that every contestant must be q yearly
subscriber to The Weekly Ne,0S and Cou-
rier. The contest will close on December
rs, 1895, and the prizes will be awarded
as soon thereafter as it is possible to COM
pare the returns and ascertain who have
raised the winning hogs. Contestants
will be required to send to The Ncws and
certificate signed by three witnesses, and
sworn TO before the nearest Trial Justice,
giving the age, gross weight and net
weight of their hogs, and stating as near
~ as possible the methods employed in
raising and fattening the hogs, the cost
of raising them and the breed Of each.
The contest will be open to every man,
woman and child in the State who is
yearly subscriber to The Weekly NeWs

vate a pig. The purpose of The News
and Courier in Offering the prizes is to
encourage the people of the State to raise
their own meat and to show that South
Carolina leads in the production of hog
and hominy, as it leads in tho manufac-
ture of cotton goods. Some days ago we
received letter from Barnwell county
farmer suggesting that The News and

Beats Cotton Out OF Sight.

CHARLESTON, s. c., Jan. 25.-The News
and Courier will publish tomorrow q
special tobacco edition showing the mar
yelous developments Of the tobacco grow
ing industry in the Peo Dee section Of
South Carolina in the last few years. The
fullest details are given as to the methods
of cultivation, the varieties of seed best
adapted to the soil, the cost of produc-
ton and the profits on the crop, and the
experience Of a large number Of tobacco
planters Is related to show that tobacco is
king. Tobacco growing is fourishing
industry throughout the Pee Dee sectlt n
of the State, but it has had its most sue
cessful and satisfactory developments in
Darlington County. to which the Neus
and Courier review is largely confined.
Ten years ago not one pound of tobacco
was grown in South Carolins for market.
Last year 100000 pounds were raised
and marketed in Darlington county alone.
The acreage devoted to the cultivation of
the T liant was not per cent. Of the acre
age devoted to cotton, yet the value of
the tobacco product was 16 per cent. Of
all the cotton raised in the county. The
money value of the tobacco crop of tie
age will be increased this year from 500
to 600 per cent, and q total crop Of at
least 5,00O,O00 pounds Is counted on. The
average price paid for Darlington tobac-
co last year was IL cents pound. Some
specially fine leaf brought 70 cents per
pound.
Capt. Paul Whipple, New England
man, and brother of the proprietor of
Young's Hotel in Boston, cleared more
than $50 an acre and had thirty acres
planted in tobacco. Other farmers did as
we'll, some of them did even better. All
of them agree that there is more money
in tobacco than in cotton. The Darling
ton soil 10 especially adapted to tobacco
growing, some OF the best results having
been obtained from very poor land we'll
fertilizsd. Labor IL abundant and eff
cient. Two tobacco warehouses have
been established In the county, providing
a home market for the farmers. Twelve
buyers were in the market last year
there will be twice as many next season.
The average cost per acre tor cultivating,
curing and marketing tobacco is $35 an
acre. The average yield per acre is 1900
pounds. A smoking tobacco factory has
been established at Darlington. The re-
suit Of the tobacco growing experiment
has been most profitable. 1t is said by
the farmers to be poor mans crop, and
to beat cotton out of sight.

We are and have always been in favor
of home enterprises. and when our peo-
pie invest their money and propose to
inaugurate an enterprise at home, we
Relieve that they should be encouraged
and given all the support possible. For
some time past tae question Of establish
ing telephone exchange in our growing
city has been agitated, and as result a
corporation, to be known as the Ander-
son Telephone Company, has been or
ganized, and propose to establish the ex-
: change as soon as possible. This agita-
Z tion has attracted the attention of the
Bell Telephone Company, and it, too,
has decided to establish an exchange
here. Now, we have not word to say
against this latter Company, but the
question arises, can Anderson support
two exchanges? We believe not. What
is our duty. then? To give the home en-
terprise our support and encouragement.
Z. The home Company will furnish day
and night service at S25 per snnum for
commercial phones and SIS for domestic
phones. When the exchange numbers
forty or more members, reduction will
be made in price Of commercial service.
"A. further reduction will also be made as
ths number increases, and should one
hundred be reached, which is possible,
the price will be fixed at SIS. We under
stand that the Company is inquiring into

The Call OF the Forty.

COLUMBIA, January 23.-The Forty
have, as promised, issued their second
address. This time, however, the execu.
tive committee does the writing for tie
Forty. Here is what the committee has
to say:
To the Democracy of South Carolina !:
AS an executive committee authorized
by those who put forth the recent adj
dress, in which they urged upon you to
consider the question Of securing non.
partisan Convention, we again call your
attention to that subject and summon
you to action. Dissensions in your ranks
threaten disaster. The purity of govern
ment, the very safety of the State, depend
upon white unity. To preserve these
warrants your utmost endeavor and the
burial of all prejudice. Those in both
factions who would avert the catastrophe
of an appeal to the negro for control Of
the Convention must come shoulder to
shoulder at once. Let white men from
the mountains to the sea combine to make
our Convention and the new Constitution
bond and seal of reunion between the
white m on of South Carolina. This may
be done by having the Convention repre-
sent truly all elements of our Democracy,
not faction merely. It will be a gu
preme body, limited by its own will only
and the Federal Constitution. Its COM
position will be of the highest importance
to the welfare of the State.
Therefore, in behalf of the earnest men
who have already spoken, we call upon
any ar d all white DEMOCRATS in accord
ance with these views to mes: st their
