A German periodical devoted to
wood industries announces that
food products consisting partly OF
wood are now manufactured. At
Berlin a factory has been built
which is turning out about two
hundred quintals Of wooden bread
a day. Sawdust is subjected to
chemical treatment. after which 1t
is mixed with one-third farina and
prepared like ordinary bread. The
product at present serves only as
food for horses, but the Berlin
Tramway, which is the most i'm

well pleased with the result. The
manufacturers say that wooden
bread constitutes also al excellent
food for man.

convention, the main qualifca-
tions should be, brains, patriotism,
and sound judgment; nor do l be-
lieve that any one faction has q
monopoly of these essentials.
There are men among the ants
who are conservative, and true,
men who would do nothing to in
jure the State if they knew it.
While tits true that the sole aim
of the ants as faction seems to
have been simply to prevent the
reformers from carrying out any
measure whether good or bad, /
still think there are men among
them who if placed in positions of
responsibility and trust, would
have that manliness and nobility
of soul that would enable them to
rise above petty factional spite
and work for the common good.
God speed the time when the
people of our grand old county, at
least, shall lay aside their foolish
predjuices, and instead of trying
to blacken the character of her
ambitious, aspiring sons take COM
mon pride in trying to help them
achieve the highest distinction.
Owing to statements emanating
from home, the leaders whom the
reformers have seen fit t.. put for
ward, and support with unfinch-
ing fidelity, have been maligned,
and denounced as demagogues and
cranks, and that we are fools for
supporting them, from Maine to
Florida. Let US be careful then
that we do not descend to their
level by retorting in kind.

.feld s. c.,
My DEAR SIR: Your letter of
January 3rd would have received
more Immediate attention, but for
an unusual pressure of work in this
office.
You are perfectly correct in
your view that the County Gov
ernment Act makes no provision
for the selection of Chairman of
the Township Boards. Governor
Evans tells me that he contem-
plates each Township Board elect
ing one of its members as chair
man. 1 am inclined to think that
the best solution of the question.
I concur with you in the view
that the Board of County Commis-
sionert is "dead and without any
person to pass or act upou claims
after January 1st, 1885," There
can be no doubt about the correct
ness of your position, as expressed
in your letter.
Very truly yours,

Here are the Threats.

ga late leader of the Reformers'
has been talking to the Washing
ton correspondent of the Charlotte
Observer about that inexhaustible
subject, South Carolina politics,
and he says that in less than three
months every Conservative in
South Carolina will be in the Re-
publican party, He may be a lit
tie wrong about the proportion,
but there is certainly an idea
among the business men in the
State, and especially among the
young men, thata a respectable Re-
publican party in South Carolina
would be healthy institution in
State affairs, and would have an
influence with the national legis-
lation of the Republican party,
which is surely coming back into
power, that would be immensely
beneficial to the South. And there
are very many believers in Repub-
lican principles in the business
element in South Carolina."-
Spartanburg Herald.
SIT is not "politic" to make the
admission, but there is reason to
fear that what the Herald says has
partial foundation-the sweeping
statement which it quotes being,
however, quite preposterous. We
warned timid and vaciIlating
"Conservatives" last Fall that
if they would not allow us to form
real Democratic organization IN
this State many men, in sheer des-
peration, would go into the Re-
publican party. We are sorry to
say there are indications that this
prediction will be verified. If De-
mocracy in South Carolina is too
cowardly to fight for its existence
it may as well prepare for dissolu-
tion and "sauve qui peut. Go
