The Largest hog.
Greenville News, 9th: The largest
hog in the state was conducted through
the streets yesterday on an inspection
tour in a portable pen by J. l.. E.
jones, the Buncombe street merchant,
who bought the animal from Ed Nose
ly, Greenville farmer. From end to
end the monster measures 6 feet, 8
inches, is 6 feet and 6 inches in cir
cumference and tips the scales at 1908
pounds.
Buzzard Is Dead.
John Buzzard, the Edgefeld despe-
RADIO, who was so severely handled in
Saluda by the Henderson boys recently,
died on last Tuesday evening. The
Henderson boys desired to surrender;
but the sheriff of the county not yet
having received his commission, they
were unable to do SO. The coroner
also is without commission, and the
situation has developed quite a num-
ber of curious legal complications.

With commendable enterprise, the
Charleston Post, on last Monday, pub
lished full synopsis of the presidents
message to congress, and then nex'
day sent out some reporters to ask
business men what they thought of the
document. But alas for such praise
worthy zeal The reporters were un-
able to find anybody who had read
the message, though all seemed to be
sure that it was about the right thing
for in their opinion what "Grover''
says is always right.

The Madrid newspapers are YER

- The Madrid newspapers are very
much excited over the reference to Cuba
in the presidents message, and seem to
be of opinion that it will only be ques-
ton of short time when the United
States will take it upon itself to inter-
fere in the struggle. They profess, how
ever, to be not at all alarmed, and prom
ise that if there is any undue interfer-
ence, this country will get as much or
more than she bargained for.

- We beg to remind the Gaffney City
Ledger that the success of the new county
movement does not in the least relieve it
of its obligation to give the name of the
guilty party in the alleged bribery busi-

made with impunity, and until The Led

CHEROKEE COUNTY.

1t is practically settled that the Gaffney
people are to have their proposed new
county. The election was held on last
Tuesday, and the different sections in
terested voted for the new county with a
whoop. The opposition developed but
little strength. Here are the precincts, as
reported by the Gaffney Ledger:

During the present fall, two white
men have been convicted of murder
in Greenville, two in York, and two
of manslaughter in Pickens. This is
an unusual record, and it seems to in
dicate a considerable change in public
sentiment along this line.

- From Argentina comes news of the
passage of a remarkable law, by the
enforcement of which the statesmen
of that far away republic very foolishly
expect in the course of few years to
crowd its plains and mountains with
inhabitants. One clause of this enact
ment reads "On and after January 1,
1897, every unmarried male citizen OF
Argentina who is not less than 20, or
more than 80 years of age, shall on the
first day of every month, pay tax, the
amount to be determined by the muni-
cipal authorities" This is certainly
going a long ways; but the South
American legislators went still further,
and rounded out their law with an
other clause, which reads: "a cell
bate of either sex who shall, without
legitimate motive, reject the address
es of him or her who may aspire to
her or his hand, and who con-
tinues contumaciously unmarried, shall
pay the sum of 500 piastres for the
benefit of the person, man or woman,
who has been so refused" Perhaps
this scheme will work as its inventors
hope, but the chances are that before
January 1 arrives, Argentina will have
lost by emigration every unmarried
person now living in the country.

Committee of councils having char Q
OF the matter report that for the
second year of the experiment the
receipts were $1,618,387 and t
operating expenses 81, 215,373; lea .

at the same time that the fares were
reduced, For the sc, 462,594 pas
sengers who were carried, the aver
age fare was I cents a passenger.
The committee report that its prin-
cipal difficulty is to provide for the
continuously increasing volume OF
business. Negotiations are now in
progress looking toward the intro
duotions of some means of mechanical
traction. The tramways cover 80
miles of double track, and require
1852 horses. The employees are
clothed at the expense of the de-
partment, and a friendly society
has been established among them,
with 1,474 members. In concluding
their report the Council Committee
says: "The financial result for the
years operation have been most en-
couraging, and prove beyond all
question thaG the Corporation Tram
ways have the approval and support
of the citizens. From the accouats
published herewith it will be seen
that this new business undertaken by
the Corporation is being conducted
on sound commercial lines. All the
plant has been fully maintained out
of the revenue, and, after writing off
capital an ample amount for depreol-
alton, considerable sums have been
placed to the general reserve fund
and the reserve fund for permanent
way renewals. The item of prelimi-
nary expenses remains at the origin al
figure, as it is not considered neces-
sary to write off this sum, the sinking
fund itself being sufficient to wipe it
out. Over and above the ordinary
obligations to the city in the payment
of taxes, water, gas, etc, the tram,
ways undertaking is proving great
benefit to the general finances of the
Corporation, and no pains will be
spared to maintain the efficiency of
the department now so successfully
established N. Y5Wuhook.
