The Mexican Finaucier contains in its is

v i'll interest a very large number Of people
in Washington, and particularly the big
army of friends of Governor Alexander r.
Shepherd, who are aware that the great
silver mires of which he is the manager
at Batopilas, Mexico, have been well nigh
il accessible and their value been greatly
affected by the lack of easy commercial
communication between them and the OUT
side world. According to the Mexican
r fiEancier this condition of affairs will
shortly be overcome, because Batopilas is
TO be one of the termini of a railroad for
which concessions have been recently
granted. The article referred to announces
the ratification of a contract by which the
Mexican Central railway is to build a line
within four years extending from Jimenez
by way of Hidalgo del Parral to BatopiIas
The subsidy is TO be 5000 per kilometer

A Call For Help.

LONDON, Jan. 27.-The newspapers
this afternoon discuss the speech which
the Secretary of State for the Colon les,
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, delivered at
Birmingham on Saturday evening, par
ticularly dwelling upon the references
to the United States and generally,
praising them. The St. James Gazette
heads it's article
"Wby. Come Over and Help U.s., y
and says:
president Cleveland's government
has very good ground for calling upon
the Sultan for satisfaction. If it acts
by itself it is likely to be psralyzed by
the European consent; but, if it agrees
to cooperate heartily with US. the sit
uation will be improved. If the psople
of the United States are really eager to
advance the cause of civilization aud
good order, they can do SO much more
effectually than by encouraging Veue-
zuela to defy u.s.

COLONEL DANIEL BOONE.
A Family Living in Clarendon Who
are Relatives of the Great Hunter
and Pioneer.

Mr.. Editor All of my readers are familiar
with the name of Col. Daniel Boone, the
great hunter and pioneer Of Kentucky, and
perhaps some of the school boys who glance
at these columns, have been fascinated by the
accounts of Col. Boone's adventurous life.
1t may and doubtless will surprise my readers
to learn that the great hunter has relatives
living in Clarendon County. These rela-
atives are the family of Dr.. A. j. White, 80
we'll known in this section as success full
travelling dentist.
Ia recent conversation Dr.. White inform
ed me that his grandfather White married a
Miss Boone, niece Of Col. Daniel Boone,
and the Doctors father hunted with the Col
onel in Kentucky. The Doctor, has a son,
Mr.. Boone White, Of Foreston, who was
named for Colonel Boone. and be has sister,
now widow lady in Texas, who was also
named Boone for the Colonel.
The fact that Daniel Boone has relatives
living in our State is Of so much interest TO
me, that thought would write short
newspaper article ou the subject.

Privateer Personals.

PsivATEER TOWNSHIP, S. c., Jan. 81, 'ss.
The Carolina Dwights (some of whom live
in Privateer Township are descended from
Daniel Dwight, who graduated at Yale, and
was New England Presbyteria then an
-Episcopalian. He was ordained in London
in 1929, and that same year was sent by the
Bishop of London to South Carolina. The
New England Dwights Gall of whom, We pre-
sumo, belong to the same stock have fur
nished two Presidents to Yale, which, with
the exception of Harvard, is the leading In
stitrtion of learning in North America.
These Presidents are the two distinguished
Timothy Dwights grandfather and grandson.
An account of them will be found ia DR..
Bernard c. Steiner's scholarly "History of
Education in Connecticut"
The public school trustees Of Privateer
Township have rule which might we'll bs
followed by the public school trustees of
other townships. When male and female
apply for school, it is given the latter, ss
there are more ways for a man to make a
living than there are for a woman, and wo-
men make better teachers than men.
Mr.. Jud. Mcclellan, of the Jordon commu-
nifty, spent last week in this community, aud
Miss Kate Net,ies, of Wedge6eld, is visiting
here now.
Miss Alice Mason expected to leave to-day
