The Latest New County.

Yesterday a special committee consist
ing of Capt. Geo. w. Sullivan, II. G.
Wilson and T. G.. Gray, accompanied by
General M. L. Bonham as their attorney,
arrived in the city and presented to the
Governor all the petitions and necessary
papers in the matter of the proposed new
county of WILLIAMSON. They had a
beautifully drawn map of the proposed
new county and the Attorney General
upon the examination of the papers filed,
found everything all right and in the
proper form. A committee was also here
In behalf of the proposed new county Of
Hones Path. Certain territory Is needed
by both these proposed counties. If one
is formed the other cannot be. Honee
Path asked for her election to be ordered
some time ago, but the Governor waited
to hear from the Williamson people.
Yesterday he heard both committees.
Honea Path wants her election held first;
Williamson simply asks that she be
given a fair showing and that the election
be set for the same day as Honea Paths.
The Governor has not decided what he
will do about it.
The proposed county is to be composed
of portions of but two old counties
Greenville and Anderson, and will have
Williamson for its county seat. Its area
will be 43O square miles. Of this 2254 is
wanted from Anderson and 1774 from
Greenville.
From Anderson the following townships
and portions of townships are wanted {:
Honea Path, Williamson, Brushy Creek,
nine-tenths of Bolton, one-third of Hope
well, and one-half of Garvin. From
Greenville: Dunklin, Oak Lawn, nine
tentLs Of Grove. and two-thirds of Fair
view.
The proposed new county is to have a
population of 25,414 and S3,645, 1886 in tag
able property. The population of the
proposed county seat is about 1,400. The
towns of Piedmont and Pelzer will be in
the new county, not far from the county
seat. Bolton and Honea Path will be
near the Southern line. The new county
is we'll shaped as shown on the map.
There are but three extreme points that
the distance from the county seat reaches
II miles. The proposed county seat is
very near the center of population, Will
liamston township having ITO registered
voters. In addition the citizens Of the
town have pledged themselves to erect a
court house and Jail at no cost whatever
to the new county. - Columbia State,

The'question was to'make;ascrop, and
there was no time to be lost. The
old soldier at once decided that he
could play the part of horse. 1t was
a happy thought, for the old man
could do nothing else in his armless
condition. It was great fun for the
children when the matter was first
mentioned, and they went to work to
find some harness and a plowstock.
1t was serious to the mother, but she
put her own hands to the plowhandles
and went to work as cheerfully as she
could. I have often seen the old man
prance as people passed on the road,
and though running away occasionally,
he got all the fun out of it as was pos
sible. Anyhow, the little family
made a smart lot of corr in that year,
and have been prosperous people ever
since, and the children to-day, now all
grown, like to talk of the time when
they had to work bit in their fathers
mouth, so joyful was the prospects
about the days of "lay-by."
This little woman that put her
hands to that plow vas raised as well
and as easy as any of this day, and
from such women comes much of the
prosperity Of the daughters Of the
South. SARGE PLUNKETT.

Mrs. Lease and the Drummer.

To Stain a Floor.

Begin operations by washing it
thoroughly. Then fill all the cracks
with putty. Scrape away any spots
of paint which may be upon the
boards, moistening the paint with a
little %turpentine.
The liquid for staining is to be had
at any reliable paint shop, and many
housewives will think it best to buy
it ready-made. Different varieties
will initiate different kinds of wood.
Walnut stain contains two table
spoonfuls of burnt umber, three Of
burnt sienna, two Of chrome yellow,
one-half tablespoonful lampblack, one
pint of turpentine, one pint of boiled
oil.
After cleaning the floor rub in a
small amount of the preparation with
a cloth. Then begin with the brush.
Work the brush always in accordance
with the grain of the wood. Attempt
only a few boards at once.
The room should be closed until the
stain is dry. This will usually re-
quire a day and a night. When this
is arrived at, ru6 the floor evenly with
a piece of old carpet, bound about a
brush. When a high polish has been
raised in this way the time has come
to lay on your varnish or wax.
The varnish may be purchased in
small quantities or large ones, already
prepared for use on floors, and the
stain may be bought ready incorpora-
ted with varnish. Varnish smoothly
and carefully. Watch the grain Of
the wood, and let your brush fall in
with it.
Care is necessary with the stain in
several ways. Never apply a mixture
to the floors without trying it first
upon a strip of board.
Any shade desired when laying on
the stain can be had by modifying the
original liquid or by increasing its in.
tcnsity.

COST OF fHE STRIKE.
Il II Estlmated That the Miners Hax,
Lost SO, 300, 900. fsss 8


Lost $40, ZOO, 900. 81
Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. cit is safe to
say that the miners strike will end
within week. 1t is understood here
that the national officials OF the miners'
union are willing to accept the opera
tors offer of compromises IS cents,
an advance Of II cents, although the
strikers wanted 60 cents. The Pitts
burgh miners, or majority OF them,
are still insisting upon the 69-cent rate,
but as their delegates to the Columbus
convention will go uninstructed it is
probable they will be. persuaded to vo, e
for the compromise.
The battle has been a costly one for
the strikers. according to estimates
made by their own officials. tits hoped
work will be resumed by Friday next,
just ten weeks since the strike ordered
went into effect, and in that time the
strikers have lost in wages $1O,5OO, 900.
It is estimated that in the bituminous
coal districts of. the country, including
; Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, In
diana, Illinois, Iowa and other states,
$4,000 men were idle. The average earn
ings of the men is put lao day. s.
If the compromise is accepted it will
take two years of steady work for the
strikers to recover what they have lost.
Although the strikers are by far the
heaviest losers, the operators claim that
they too have lost, or rather will lose,
$1,00o,00o. The operators say that up
to date they have lost no money, be-
cause they have been able to sell at
fancy prices immense piles Of slack and
mine refuse that is ordinarily worth
nothing. But the advance of II cents
proposed will result in their filing "a
number Of large contracts at loss, and
for this there is no remedy until new
contracts are made. The operators
say there is but 100000 tons yet to be
shipped to the lakes under contract,
but they are afraid they will not be able
to get it out in time, because there will
be a shortage of cars just as soon as the
miners resume work..

Luetgert was placed in the strong
light of lover who was waiting to
