A PLEA FOR HOME ENTERPRISES.


The material prosperity of our town
and section would be greatly increased
by starting up and developing indus
tries and enterprises that will use ma
terial abundant in this section, but
almost worthless for want Of q market.
What we need are industries to bring
into use our natural resources which
can bc made the means of keeping at
home thousands Of dollars that annu-
ally find their way to the North and
West.
Take, for instance, tho proposed or
ga"ization, The Carolina Manufacture
ing Company, which, when started,
will manufacturo wagons, collins, and
other articles ofwood.
This will assist in making valuable
our oak, hickory, walnut and other
native woods, which experts pronounce
the very best for the above purposes;
besides putting in circulation consid-
cradle sums Of money from the opera
tiOn Of the plant, thereby bcncfting
'he town at large, as well Us the coun-
,'y, and paying handsome dividend to
the stockholders; for the articles they
propose manufacturing arc as staple as
flour, and, with proper management,
arc bound to pay.
The benefit Is more than IL casual
glance will reveal. 10 illustrate: A
man buys wagon of Western make /,
all this money will ind its way back
to the West except very small profit
TO. the dealer; whereas, If these arti-
clcs arc manufactured ut home, the
whole amount is put in circulation and
we nll get a benefit from it, whether u
stakeholder or not.
These home manufacturing enter
priscs arc not encouraged as they
should be. Our people ought to take IL
hand in getting them up. There is
money in them, and we hope to sec the
example Of tho gentlemen getting up
the Carolina Manufacturing Company,
followed along other lines, when our
little city, with water works, electric
lights, md manufacturing interests,
will soon be the banner town of tho
State.
We hope soon torccord the fact that
all the stock in the "Carolina" has
been taken, and the Company to be
ready in short time for business. This
Is strictly speaking home enterprise,
and will prosper if our moncycd men
shouM give it their cordial support.

4. III. AULL, EDITOR.
POSSIBLY OUR LAST OPPORTUNITY.

POSSIBLY OUR LAST OPPORTUNITY.
The Herald and News on Tuesday
called attention to IN opportunity
which we think presents itself to New
bcrry to secure a through trunk line of
railway, and we hope that our people
will at least think we'll enough of it to
investigate the subject and sec If there
is anything in it for us. Direct and
through connection with the Scaboard
Air Line and the Baltimore and Ohio
IS ~ matter that is wortl. looking Into,
pt least. Z:
We spoke to Il prominent railroad
president in regard to this very matter
since writing the editorial and he says
the scheme we mentioned is entirely
feasible and that by leaving the Sea-
board track at Whitmire and taking
the graded road from there by New
berry, Saluda and Edgetield, the objcc-
tive point could be reached at less cost
and less new road and through Il much
better country than to mo by Cheraw
TO Columbia and this railroad man
seemed to think If tho towns along the
route would look into .hc matter and
show q disposition to have the road wo
might have another railroad to New
: berry. and on to Augusta in little
while.
1t is certainly worth looking into.
If any one will take the trouble to look
Mt map it will be seen that it is al
most u direct line from Whitmirc to
Augusta rs proposed, and it is nearer
than byChcraw and to Columbia, and
then Columbia could be reached over
tho c., N. g. l..
We hope Ncwbcrry will start the ball
to rolling and get the other townships
along tho route aroused and interested
und u conference held with some of the
. railroad officials Interested in this en-
tension.

The Democrats of Ncwbcrry County
arc really without a County Chairman.
True, We have no need for one just
now; but, then, we ought to have one.
We virtually had no County Chairman
during the past campaign, for Mr.. John
Il. Duncan, who WIS put in that posi-
zion, was y resident Of Columbia aud
had been for several years. For aught
we know he may be mcmber of q ward
not u resident Of Newbcrry County, and
is not now. Our County Chairman Il
resident of Columbia, belongs to the
: Columbia Bar, and we poor fools have
no County Chairman. We thought at
the time, and expressed the sentiment,
that 1T was piece of the vericst non
sense on the part of the Executive Com
mitteo to make Mr.. duncan Chairman.
1t was unbusiness like. Mighta we'll
havc chosen Mr. u. b. Whites OF At
lanta or DR.. A. j. p. Julian of Mason,
Fla. And now that our County Chnii-
man has opened his .lnw oi1lcc in tho
make these %ho elected him County
Chairman feel shabby. At any ratio
we have no County Chairman.--Pros-
pority Advertiser.
What is the matter wlCh our friend
and ncighbor Mt atprospcrity? He should
keep his wits better about him and bo
sure he is right before he slashcs and
cuts in every direction. Surely the dis
rpensary agitation in our sister town
and the big cotton mill and deep artcs-
i'm wcll and the communication tax has
not caused n loss Of memory end blot
ting out of ali recent history. "Wc
poor fools" are not such "poor fools"
as our friend would make believe if be-
ing without II county chairman consti-
tutcs "poor FOOLS" No, friend, Now
berry County has Il real live, living,
breathing county chairman and has not
been without ono.
Mr.. Jno. ~. Duncan was present rs
delegate to the county convention
which met at Nowberry on May @. At
the meeting Of the executive commit
tee that same day Mr.. Duncnnwas elect
cd county chairman and served faith
fully and well until the meeting Of the
executive committee about tho middle
OF July when he was present and stat
cd to the committee that inasmuch as
he had become u candidate he tender
cd his resignation to take effect on the
election of his successor.
On motion of Mr.. Alan Johnstonc tho
=, thanks Of the committee were unani-
.lnously rendered Mr.. Duncan for his
uniform courtesy to the members Of
the committee and his resignation was
accepted.
At meeting of the county convcn-
tion held the first Monday in August
Mr.. S. S. Cunningham wss unanimous
ly elected county chairman and has
since discharged the duties of the Office
with ability and impartiality and to the
satisfaction of all parties concerned.
What Is the matter with Editor With
erspoon? Has he been asleep during
all these long months? No, you must
find some other cause for jumping on
Mr.: Duncan, II that. Is your purpose,
than by Trailing him over tho shoulders
Of the executive committee.
Really Newbcrry is not without q
:, county chairman.

MANIAC SMASHES GLASS.
Woodruff Fills His Hands With Brok-
en- Glass and Makes Much Trouble.

David s. Woodruff, the maniac who
was adjudged insane before Probate
Judge Dolman yesterday morning, was
taken to the asylum about o'clock
yesterday evening by Under Sheriff
Bert Lucas. Shortly before his remov-
al from the county Jail, Woodruff be-
came exceedingly sboisterous, and after
dancing about the floor of his cell and
yelling at the top of his voice for sew
eral minutes, he smashed a pane of
glass out of the cell window with his
fist and threw the broken particles
through the bars into the office of the
jailer. One of the pieces of glass struck
Assistant Jailer Kuydendall in the face
and inflicted a slight ound.
When Under Sheriff Lucas went into
the cell after the maniac, he had his
hands full of broken glass. and threat
ened to throw it in the face of the Off
Ger if he touched him. Lucas allowed
him to walk by his side as far the
sidewalk in front of the Jail without
holding him, but there Woodruff start
ed to back away, and the under sheriff
grabbed him. In turn he grabbed Luz
cas-, throwing his arms around his waist
and twining his legs about the lower
limbs of the big officer. Lucas was
compelled to shake the maniac off by
force and pick him up bodily and place
him in the buggy in which he was ia
ken to the asylum. Once in the buggy,
he became perfectly quiet, and made no
further resistance up to the time he
was placed in a cell at the asylum.
Woodruff was as dangerous lunatic
as the officers at the county Jail have
ever dealt with.

PRINCE LEAVES TONIGHT.
Constantine Goes to the Front to
Take Command.

London, March PA dispatch to the
Times from Athens says that the royal
decree appointing the Crown Prince
Constantine to the command of the
army on the Thessaly frontier was
published yesterday. A dispatch from
the Daily Chronicles Athens CORE
spOndent says the crown prince will
start to assume his command this
evening at o'clock, going by seato Volo
and thence by railway. The crown
princess will accompany him far as
11arisSa, where she will inspect the ar
engagements made by the Red Cross
society.
She will remain there two days In
order to avoid popular demonstrations,
this proclamation has not been pub
nshed at Athens. A dispatch to the
Times from Canea says there is no
doubt that the Christians have attacked
the Turks because driven to despera-
ton by the blockade. A protest against
European Partially to the Turks is
probable.
The Times correspondent al Salonica
says that a Turkish merchantmen has
arrived there with tOrpedoes, which are
being laid across the harbor.
The Athens correspondent of the
Chronicle says: 1T is madness for the
powers to suppose that Greece, in or
der to form a neutral zone, will with
draw GOO eager troops to a region
without barracks, stores or military
base of any kind, and there rest while
the powers work out their pleasure in
Crete"
A dispatch to the Times from Salon
lea says: Edham Pasha, commander
of the Turkish army on the Macedonian
frontier, reviewed 1000 infantry at
Elassona yesterday. 1t is still assert
ed that he complains of the INSULT
cheney of the troops and will be recalled
at his own request. He considers that
at least 100000 Turkish troops are need
ed to meet the emergency. The health
of his forces is fairly good, but there
have been outbreaks of smallpox and
many cases of dysentery.
A dispatch to the Daily News from
Vienna says the Austrian foreign office
has proposed to extend the blockade
along the entire Greek coast, with spe-
cial stringency at the Piraeus and
other ports. England has abandoned
the condition that Turkey and Greece
must be asked to withdraw their troops
from the Thessalian frontier before the
blockade is extended to the Gulf of
Volo, and will be content, it is assumed
by the Austrian foreign office, if the
admirals so arrange the blockade as to
spare the susceptibilities of certain
powers.

DAMS THE MISSOURI RIVER
A Leavenworth Coal Company Filling

has commenced suit in the United States
circuit court, to compel the Leaven-
worth Coal Mining company to remove
the dyke which has been built in the
Missouri river with refuse from the
company's mines.
The suit is brought under the river
and harbor law, prohibiting the OBJ
struction of navigable streams.
The Leavenworth Coal Mining cOmpa-
ny controls the mines on the govern
ment land at Leavenworth, and for a
number of years has been dumping the
rock, slate and other refuse from the
mines in he Missouri river. The dixie,
SO constructed, is said in he petition,
to be $50 feet wide and 500 feet long,
and it is claimed that if allowed to re-
main, it WILL in time, change the chan
mel of the river SO as to make the Leav-
enWorth bridge in itself an obstruction.

tails of autonomy for Crete. Instruc-
tions have been sent to admirals Civ
ing full power to extend the blockade
to Greek ports if they deem it neces-
Sary.
An important discussion took place in
the house of commons today during the
consideration of the foreign office esti-
mates.
John Morley, in the absence of Lib
eral Leader Sir Harcourt, criticised at
length and with great vigor the action
of the powers in the Greco-Cretan af-
fair.
He said that autonomy was a mere
phrase because the porte reserved the
power to discuss it's form and its detail.
1t had been admitted by Lord Sails
bury that the eventual outcome would
probably be the annexation of Crete to
Greece, yet in spite of this admission,
Great Britain assisted the powers in
the blockade.
In this way Great Britain was to
pursue policy opposed to the real con-
victions of the government.

March 81:

As owing to the blockade. 1t will be
henceforth impossible to import cereals
into Crete, whereas the island has always
obtained their provisions from the outside.

may arise and which may not correspond
