Who Killed the Jack Rabbit

In the historical write-up of the
San Antonio newspapers, pub
lished in last Sundays Express,
credit is given to Mr.. Claridge as
being editor of the slack Rabbit"
which Mr.. C. disclaims, but he
claims to to have been the editor
of the Coyote" which he says
killed the Jack Rabbit. Both these
historians are wrong. The Jack
Rabbit was edited by man
named Rose, the cartoons We're
made by one Deviere painter, and
the type was set by well known
San Antonio "Strike agitator."
The trio in their effort to black
mail the late Mayor James II.
French, succeeded in getting in
dioted by the grand jury for crimi-
nal libel. Two of the publishers
shortly after skipped" town, and
thus was the Jack Rabbit killed.

Rock Hill's Good Roads.

Rock HILL. January l5.-Special I:
The bad weather and consequent con-
plants of mud have directed attention
to the work that has been done by
Rock Hill in the line of securing good
roads. About two years since it was
decided to build highways going from
the town 10 all directions. Private
subscriptions were secured from towp
and from the country adjacent along
the line Of the proposed routes. The
couo,y authorities agreed to furnish a
rock crusher and a steam engine aud to
pay one hundred dollars, Rock Hill
gave one-fourth the cost and built the
roads up to the town limits.
The roads were located carefully by
a civil engineer. A road bed thirty
feet wide was raised above the surround
ing soil by large ploughs. This was
packed hard by the use Of heavy rollers.
A track ten feet wide in the centre was
then macadamized, track ten feet wide
being left on each side for use in the
summer. The rock in the macadamiz-
ed portion is from six to eight inches
deep The whole road is vel! drained
by side bitches, and 10 the worst of
weather is hard and affords every facili-
ty for travelling Two roads extend
ing one three, the other three and one
half miles beyond the city limits. have
been completed Subscriptions were
made for an amount sufficient to COM
plete as N uch more, but more pressing
matters have stopped the work for a
short time. These roads have made
plain the great value of money and
work expended in this way. They have
proved almost like arms reaching out
from town 10 country with mutual bene-

l Successful Harvard Dis
SertatiOn.

A bright young Harvard man, who
is at home in Rochester for the holi-
days, tells this very Characteristic
story, which shows that the spirit Of
at least one university is not confined
to the undergraduates, says the Roch
ester Democrat and Chronicle.
The members of his class are re-
quired at regular intervals to hand in
to one of their instructors dissertations
upon themes of their owu choosing
There is no set rule as to the length
of the papers, and, in fact, nothing is
insisted upon except the one point
that the work shall be completed and
presented at a given time. 1t hap
pened that dissertation day fell at
time when most of the class had just
returned from Witnessing game of
football between the Yale and the
Harvard elevens, a game which did
not turn out exactly as the devotees
fthe crimson would have wished.
One Of the members of the class in
question, having no heart to attempt
more elaborate effort, wrote upon
sheet of paper the epigrammatic ex-
preston, "To III with Yale" /"
properly signed it, and handed it in
to the instructor as his thesis Then
he was taken with a panic He saw
all kinds of dire possibilities compass
ing him about, and regarded suspen-
sion from term as the least penalty
that would be apt to follow his au-
dacity At last the day came when
the papers were returned, indorsed
with the Criticisms Of the instructor.
His was handed to him, and he
scarcely dared look at it, but at last
he summoned up courage and read
this inscription: "Precise, accurate,
and to the point"

A Story of A. T. Stewart.

That was nice little story Mr..
George Jewet told me yesterday
afternoon and as it has good moral
attached to it | give it here. although
it might be odd to some people, says
Macon Telegraph. "I heard abe sto-
ry when l was boy, said Mr. Jew
ct, "but have often thought of it since
when reminded of careless extravag-
auce of wesouthern people Apromin-
ent Georgian was delegated by his
church to go to New York and re-
quest of A. T. Stewart, the dry
goods prince, a contribution to the
church. The Georgian went to New
York and on entering Mr.. Stewards
mammoth store was shown back to the
private office of the millionaire. On
entering the Office be heard the mil
ionaire quarreling with young
man, and not wishing to interrupt
them, he stood at the door for NOM
ent. While standing at the door he
heard Mr.. Stewart tell the young
man to never again seal letter with
a whole wafer, but to divide them
and make each wafer do for two let
ters. Mind You this was long ago,
when waters cf sealing wax were
used in sealing letters, aud as wat:
er was not worth anything to speak
of, the Georgian was about to turn
back, thinking MIR. Stewart too stin-
gy and too mean to give anything,
when Mr.. Stewart noticed him and
asked him his business. The Geor-
gian was considerably embarrassed,
but was frank enough to tell Mr..
Stewart that he came there for the
purpose of asking him to contribute
to certain church, but as he had
heard him quarreling with one of his
young men about using one whole
wafer in sealing an envelope be
thought it would be useles for him to
ask for contribution. why, my
dear sir said Mr. Stewart, 1T is by
looking after these little things that l
am enabled to give you $1,000 for
the church you represent, and turn.
ing aside to his bookkeeper he told
him to write out check for 81 900
for the church the Georgian repre-
sented. The G rgian was greatly
astonishe6, bu when Mr.. Stewart
told him that + had accumulated his
wealth by say; g pins and scraps, he
left for home with different views
from those he had entertained before.

Our only hope is to get together
in this convention and if possible,
prevent the Ring from controlling
it, and frame Constitution which
will command the respect and con-
fdence of the whole people, thereby
uniting and placing US in position
in 1876 where we can avail ourselves

1t is useless to temporize; if we be

an honorable defeat.

done along this line I have been the

If doing my duty manfully and
conscientiousIy relegates me to pri-

is conserved.
1t was the expressed hope Of many
that the "Forty" ere this would have
taken such action as would have
made their influence felt on the line
indicated by them, which met with
such general approval throughout the

I hope and believe the matter will
soon consummate in definite action,
and thereby unite all those who sin

Men who posses the courage of

action as will subserve the best in

against "bossism and ring rule, "

obtained without an effort deceive
themselves no longer. Peace has
never been purchased without stern
battle to secure its blessings.

ing lntelllgent treatment from the
time the plant beds are prepared.
until it is graded, packed and sold.
Few persons have the money to
build barns, packing houses, and
hire tobacco expert, and it is out of
the question to think of obtaining
advances to plant an experimental
crop; for when tobacco is a failure
it is the most complete failure i'm
aginable. For instance, there is
farmer in this county whose crop
of eight or ten acres was affected
with disease known as "frog.eye,'
and none of the tobacco was sale.
able, except as trash, which was
quoted at two to three cents per
pound.
Another lettering cause is the to-
bacco expert. 1t not infrequently
happens that the men who are en-
ployed as experts know little or
nothing about the crop, and succeed
only in loosing money for ther en-
ployers Another is the trouble
experienced in marketing the crop
after it is made, cured and graded.
We are distant from the markets and
when the planters ship their tobacco
to the warehouses they are at the
mercy of the tobacco buyers, who
often, by collision, bid in the tobacco
at fraction of it's value. To avoid
this number of farmers have hauled
there tobacco to Darlington and
Florence, distance of 30 to As miles,
and even then, though present them
selve, there were complaints that the
tobacco did not sell for what it was
worth.
The men who made money plant
ing tobacco have done SO only after
several years of experience. Those
who have been most successful are
those who have planted small crops
and given then close attention. Those
who have made the most money per
acre are the small planters who run
one or two plows and do the greater
part of their work themselves
In one section of the county num-
Der of these small farmers dubbed
together and employed a man to cui-
tivate and cure their tobacco the first
year and we are informed that these
men have been uniformly success
ful in the growing of tobacco. We
are satisfied that there will be a
gradual extension of the crop in lis
count but not this year for the rea-
SOUS given above.
The ability to build barns would
insure considerable increase in
acreage; and the erection of a ware
house in Sumter, insuring a conven-
lent market, would be great stimu-
lus to tobacco culture in Sumter
County. Until there is warehouse
here, tobacco will remain side issue
among the products of the County.
But even with these disadvantages
against tobacco culture, We have
never been able to understand why
many more planters, who are we'll
able to incur the expense of building
barns and employing an overser, do
not plant tobacco There is money
in it, and we shall be prepared at an
early day to prove the assertion by
figures.

nor Evans and D. R. Johnson, president
of the Rock Hill Normal and Industrial

Incidentally President johnson stated
that Mr. Tillman was receiving hundreds
OF letters urging him to run for the pres

he is throughout the country"
The senator talked freely, but not on
the subject of his candidacy
