from the point where Nansen has just

The new Of theodeath of Mrs. P. u.
Elliott which occurred at Newman, Ca,
while on a VISIT to her daughter and SON.
in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Fleming was a
great shock to her family and friends
here. Mrs. Elliott was about sixty years
OF age, a devoted christian woman and
much respected and beloved. A be-
reaved husband, son and daughters,
have the sympathy of the entire COM
munity. Her remains reached here by
rail yesterday and were laid away inthe
city cemetery, attended by a large con-
course Of friends.
In our last issue we noted that sena-
tor Archer, of Spartanburg, had a bill
about the 7th circuit Of the, pro-
visions of which we were not aware
I'hn hill nrnuf60o f0n fhn ,n1a{,,~ ~
u Court the I'd Monday in July in
stead of the Sd and the 1st Monday of
October instead of the 3rd Monday in
September 1t will properly distribute
our Courts through the year save large
expense to the county and is in the line
of humanity to poor prisoners who can
not give bail. Mr.. J. II. Johnson, now
of Spartanburg, drew the Bill and it
will probably become the law. Our
immediate representatives should look
closely after the matter.
We are in receipt of pamphlet copy
Of proceedings of the Cotton Growers
Protective Association for 1896. The
proceedings involve cotton acreage for
1896. The suggestion of q crop not ex-
ceeding eight million bales is power
fully presented. Col. Goodwin, ofTenn.,
said: If this can be practically accom-
plished for the space of five years, ut
will make this the richest and most
prosperous agricultural country the
world has ever known. Our planting
and farming friends will readily see
that q short crop for one year to be fol-
lowed up with a ten million crop will
not bring about the desired result
"the most prosperous agricultural
country the world has ever known"
The raieing of everything consumed in
the South by farmer, tenant, the home
market, and beast or birds is stoutly
urged.
