ton by the taking from their shoulders
of a large share OF this burden; they
are enabled thereby to devote more of
their attention and means to cases of
peculiar misfortune, and to measure
more accurately the merits Of such
applications for charity as are made
to them. Such organiza lions, in vari-

King of the Moon.hfner..

The king OF the North Alabama moonship-
ers Fred Walker. was captured by revenue
officers a few nights ago near Stevenson,
Ala. For fifteen years Walker has been
fugitive from Justice. and during that time
he has defeated dozens OF attempts to cap
ture him, and has defed and tainted the
officers. though he has lived in the place all
the time. The marshal who headed the posse
which captured him had previously made
was exceedingly popular among mountain
FOLK, and they gave him every assistance
In evading arrest. His cabin was on . cIiR
commanding a view OF the country for fif-
teen miles around. and either he saw the
officers or was warned by signals from friends
Of the approach The officers finally discoy-
cred the route by which. he usually retreated.
and while one party went openly 70 his cabin
the other lay In ambush along his path and
took him unawares. All the mountaineers

the work and responsibility; but they
go at it cheerfully and willingly and in
such manner as suggests that time as

raising cattle, sheep and hogs and poul-
try, Bookkeeping. butter making, gar
deping for market, etc, etc. The pur-
pose Of the contest is to prove tn at
diversified" and "all round" farming
pays 10 South Carolina, and to exhibit
the proofs aud give public recognition
TO the farmer that makes the best chow
ing. Small aud large farmers can
compete for this prize on equal terms
The highest profit made per acre for
the whole number Of acres employed CD
the farm, and including everything
made on the farm, will determine the
winner. whether he farms ten acres or
thousand. The prize cauoot be won
by spending time aud labor and money
on one or two crops.
It is most desirale that more atten-
tion shouldbe paid in this Stete to the
industry Of sheep raising, which could
be developed to important proportions,
if the farmers would take hold of il iD
earnest. Another prize will be offered
10 the interest of this industry.
Another will be offered to be compet-
ed for by the fruit growers. who have
already fairly organized Que of the
most promising pew Industries in the
State, but will be Interested doubtless
in contest which will show who is the
leader in THE pleasant aud profitable
filed of endeavor.
Last. but not least 10 the order Of
merit and interest, will be the prize to
be contested for by the women of the
State who are working ou the farms as
hard as their husbands and fathers and
brothers and sons, without getting due
credit for their part of the yearly pro-
ducts and income. This contest will
cover the field Of woman's work 90 the
farm, in the orchard, about the house,
in the dairy and kitchen, and garden,
in the poultry yard. and among the bee
hives, and in all the wide and varied
departments Of her ceaseless Industry.
and We hope will serve to losplre many
such workers with new interest in their
daily and all-day tasks aud duties. All
cannot win the prize, Of course. but all
can win recognition for the important
part they play in making farming profit
able and d-po possible-to the men who
work a6eld, and we cau promise all the
contestants such recognition at least,
besides the prize or prizes to those who
win them. This contest will eft" IN
naturally and neatly with the contest
for the prize for the most successful "all
round" farm, and it may be that the
prize for such alarm will "e won at last
by the farmers in petticoa =, who help
to run it, in the race.
We have already made this introduc-
tory chapter with regard to the several
contestsIlarger than We intended it to be-
and will only add, therefore, that all
the prizes indicated will be certainly Of
fered, and perhaps more of them; that
the conditions of the several contests
| will be announced in few days. and
that the present intention is to have all
the farm products offered for compe-
titiou, as far as practicable, exhibited
10 Charleston on the occasion OF the
next Fall Festival, when the prizes will
be publicly awarded.

The South Carolina To
bacconiSt.
A Journal Devoted to the South
Carolina Tobacco Interest.

SUMTER, S. c., Jan. 7, 1896.
To The Public
On Feruary 4th we shall begin
the publication of The SOUTH
CAROLINA ToBAccoN1sT, a journal
that will be devoted exclusively
TO the tobacco interest of this sec
ton of the South. The chief end
of the paper will be the extern
sion and development of tobacco
culture in South Carolina, which
the experience of the last few
years has proved, beyond the
shadow of doubt, to be the most
profitable crop that can be grown
in Central South Carolina. Since
South Carolina has climate pre-
eminently adapted to growing
large crops of the finest bright
tobacco known to the trade, it is
the duty of our people to utilize
the gifts nature has bestowed upon
this favored region.
1t is the purpose of The SOUTH
CAROLINA ToBACCoNIsT to aid and
encourage our people in the cul-
ture of tobacco. We have en-
listed the services of experienced
tobacco growers, and we shall
publish at seasonable times ar
ticles on the preparation OF the
land for tobacco, the character of
land that will yield good tobacco,
the fertilization, the preparation
of the plant beds, transplanting
the young tobacco plants, the
cultivation suitable to different
conditions of weather that may
exist during the growing season,
topping, handling, curing, grad
mo and marketing. The style OF
barns best suited to curing to-
bacco in this section will be dis
cussed, and plans for building and
estimates of the cost will be
given. In all cases the articles
will deal with tobacco and its cul-
ture in South Carolina and not
with tobacco and how it is cult
vated and handled in Virginia
and North Carolina. There is a
difference in both soil and eli
mate in the two sections, and
there is, consequently, necessity
for different methods to meet the
different conditions. For this
reason tobacco journal devoted
especially to the interest in South
Carolina is necessity, and we
have undertaken to supply what
the tobacco farmers both need
and demand.
THF SOUTH CAROLINA ToBACCO-
MIST will be a 2o-page magazine,
published weekly at a subscrlp-
ton price of $500 per year. The
undersigned will own and publish
the paper; Mr.. HubertG Osteen,
editor of the Daily Item and the
Watcllauau and Soutl1,0u, will be
Managing Editor and will be as
sisted by a number of able and
experienced writer's on tobacco
culture.
Mr.. J. A. Brogdon, Manager OF
| the Sumter Tobacco Warehouse,
will assist in the editorial man
agement and will keep the tobac-
co men fully posted on all ques-
tions of interest to the tobacco
trade.
We will have correspondents at
all the leading tobacco markets
both domestic and foreign, SC
that market quotations and a de
tailed report of the market con
ditions, wherever tobacco is sold
may be furnished our readers.
We shall spare no effort te
make the paper real help to
tobacco planters and dealers ane
a true exponet of tobacco culture
in South Carolina.

Democratic County Convention.

The free silver Democrats of Wood
county met in county convention Thurs
day afternoon too late for our press
hour. Nearly all the towns were repre-
scented. The convention was called to
order by James X. P. Hiles, of the
town of Wood, and Adam Paulus, of
Marshtield, was elected secretary. A
committee of five on credentials was
appointed consisting of L. NJ. Nash
VIM. Hirth, L. Colvin, &. O. Baker and
F. Leuschen. A committee on resolu-
tons was also appointed consisting of
A. E. Germer, J. A. Gaynor and Z. P.
Scheibe.
The committee on credentials sub
mitted their report, which was adopted
and the committee on resolutions sub
mitted the following resolution, which
was discussed thoroughly by Messrs.
B. r. Goggins, L. NJ. Nash, A. E. Ger
mer, c. O. Baker, Henry Fitsch and
J. A. GaynOr.
Be it Resolved, That we, the demo-
Gratis of Wood county, IN convention
assembled, hereby declare our APP
prevail and endorsement of the plat
form and principles adopted by our
late national convention at Chicago,
and we hereby pledge our support to
Bryan and SeWall, the nominees of
that convention.
And the delegates this day by US
elected are hereby instructed to sup
port no man for nomination at the com
ing state or congressional convention
who is not in harmony with the princi-
piles set forth in our national platform.
Mr.. Goggins questioned the propriety
of passing so strong resolution for the
success of the party in county and state.
L. NJ. Nash was in favor of striking out
the second paragraph but was in favor
of the first paragraph in the resolution.
All the other speakers favored the
adoption of the resolution as it was
offered. At the close Of the discussion
the resolution was adopted by almost a
unanimous vote
A committee of seven was appointed
to submit list of names for delegates
to the state and congressional cOnven-
tons and reported as follows:
Delegates to the state convention
Z. P. Scheibe, of Marshfeld; F. Leu
Schen, of Hewitt; j. Lutz, Jr., of Grand
Rapids; D. D. Conway, of ,Centralia,
and c. A. Ludwig, of PittsvilIe.

vention-Henry Kalsched and E. V.
Kautsky, of Marshfeld; J A. Gaynor,
of Grand Rapids; w. H. Carey, OF
Centralia, and A, E. Germer, of Pitts
vile.
On motion the above delegates recon-
mended by the committee were adopted
by the convention. The convention
then adjourned.
