OUTLOOK IN UNION FOR 1897.


10 say that the outlook in Union
for the present year is brighter than
it has beon for long time is simply
the unvarnished truth. Union = cot
ton factory No. 1 is running on full
time and at its full capacity. Mill No.
2, which is the largest mill in the
state, if not in the South, will soon
be running.
The cotton seed oil mill is running
night and day. This mill declared
n fifteen per cent. dividend last year,
and it is reasonable TO suppose it
will do equally as we'll during the
present year.
The excelsior knitting mill will be-
gin work very soon. 1t is Il splendid
plant, We doubt if there is Il superior
one anywhere, and having highly
competent men running it, with
an abundance of capital; there is
scarcely Il doubt as to its success.
The operatives arc now moving into
the tcnements, which are exceed
in.ly neat and well arranged houses.
New dwellings are being built in
all parts Of the tow" 33:%c:;;. ure uelng
now planned. There is only one va
cant store in the town. and doubt
less it will soon be occupied. There
have been no mercantile failures in
Union during 1896, and confidence
is being fully restored in this line of
business.
The banking facilities of the town
are first class, consisting of two re-
liable banks viz; The Merchants and
Planters National Bank and the pri-
vatc bank of VIM. \. Nicholson 4

County Commissioners PepOrts


Some years ago the publishers of

crs was abolished. This report gave
detailed information to the taxpaycrs
as t" where their money went and
besides giving valuable information
It acted rs check against misuse
Of the public funds Of the County.
But in Il spirit Of false economy the
Legislature abolished tho law reouir-
ing this report to be printed in a
County newspaper What has been
the result: The taxpayers are kept in
absolute ignorance of what is going
on, and already in Aiken County
alone, three eX-Countv Commission.
e!s have been brought to trial,
charged with malieasancc in Office.
Whether the acts charged against
them were intentional or not it is prct
ty certain that if they bad been re-.
qnirrd to print their report, rs for
mcrly. the wrong doing would have
been discovered earlier and the mon
ey paid the printer would have been
well spent.
1t is question that effects every
County in the Sta'e. The people have
Il right to know how the financial af-
fairs OF the counties arc conducted

Conditions and Breeds.

Every breed has its friends who are
others and that it is the lest winter
layer as well as the most prolific III
summer. There is truth in what the
advocates Of the di. ercnt breeds
claim, but every thing connected with
the excellence of the flocls depends
upon circumstances. breeders of
Light Brahmas will maintain that
their breed excels all others in winter
time, yet instances have occurred
where Light Brahmas do not lay while
Leghorns on an &C. dining farm pro-
duced eggs during the whole winter.
Tie fact was that the Leghorns had
the most favorable conditions, such as
warm quarters, plenty Of room for eX-
ercise in the poultry house, and va
riety of food. There are also summer
conditions. The fowls that have
range will do better in summer than
those kept in confinement. Give
Light Brahmas a range in the summer
season, avoid feeding them to excess,
and they will probably produce as
many eggs in summer as the Leg
horns. There is really no best breed
unless the poultrymen adapt the con-
ditions to the breed, so as to derive
the best results therefrom.- and

Cleaning the Poultry House.

There is much less consdera ton
given the roosts and nests than any
other portion of the poultry house.
With the desire to save labor the
roCsts are nailed to the walls and the
nests are fastened in place so as to
become a part Of the building itself,
the consequence being that it is inn
possible to thoroughly clean the poul-
try house and rid it of vermin; for as
long as there is crack in which a
louise can hide there will be liability
of rapid increase of the pests, a single
female laying enough eggs in day
to furnish the foundation for a mill
ion in a week. Every roost should be
level, that is, all the roosts should be
the same height, and should be so con-
structed as to permit of being carried
outside to be cleansed. The nests
should not be joined but separate;
soap-boxes being excellent, open at
the ends, so as to compel the hens to
walk III raUnef IMAM ny upon Cne neStS
from the top. If the roosts and nests
are taken outside they should be
LIGHTLY brushed with kerosene and a
lighted match applied. The fire will
run over the surface without doing
any harm. The roosts should be treat
ed in the same manner, If properly
constructed the roosts and nests cah
be taken out and replaced in a few
moments, leaving an empty poultry
house, which can be easily cleaned

Ducks and Their Color.

The ducks having white plumage
are preferred, because the pin-feath-
ers are not so liable to show in the
carcasses; and those who have had
the work of picking ducks can testify
that it is not only difficult to get the
carcasses perfectly clean, but one
must be an expert to have the dressed
ducks arrive in the market in the
most attractive condition. Now, of
the white breeds, the Pekin and Ayles-
bury are preferred, the PeHin being
considered better than the Rouen,

which is dark in color; but the breed
with the plumpest and best carcass
is the Cayuga, the brakes of which
can be made to weigh ten pounds, and
the female will lay as many eggs as
her sister of the Pekin breed. Unfor-
tunately the Cayuga is black duck,
although after it is dressed it shows a
beautiful golden skin. 1t is question
whether, in order to send the most at
tractive carcass to market, the raiser
of ducks is willing to put to a little
more work on the picking in getting
rid of black pin-feathers. The Cayuga
also stands confinement we'll, is hardy,

kitchen fire. Twice day the foot
was soaked in warm water, TO which
a little CASTLE soap had been added,

it. The wound bled badly. For three

Kerosene for Lice.

DIR. Human advocates kerosene as
remedy for lice, and he is one among
us who seems remarkably 'lucky'' in
rearing fine chicks. Interviewed as
to his manner of application of the
same, he told me that in the first place
he provided thorough dust baths for
his setting hens, and gave them ann
pie opportunity to avail themselves OF
the benefits to be thus derived. When
chicks were taken from the nest, he
said, they were carefully looked over
for lice. None being found upon their
heo9s or necks, they were not further
mclested for few days, when the
m0ther hen was given light feather
oi.ing with pure kerosene upon her
breast and under her wings, about
her legs, and wherever there might be
possibility of there being a breed

HAYTI COMES DOWN.
All of Germany's Demands Accedcd Ia
by the Government May Cause
II Revolution.

Port au Prince, Dec. TT is under
stood the question of indemnity de-
manded by Germany has been settled
and all demands of the country have
been agreed to by the government of
Hayti in the face of the display of force
made by Germany and under threat of
bombardment of the defensive works of
the port unless the demands were
agreed to within eight hours
The first part of the settlement took
place at 6 o'clock slast night when The
Haytian fleet formally saluted the Ger
man flag. The second part of the set
tlement will take place this morning
when Count Schwerin, German minister
to Hayti, will be formally and solemnly
received by the Haytian president.
The latter, it is understood, has
assured the German authorities that
summary justice would be promptly
melted out to those officials of Hayti
who caused the estrangement between
the republic and Germany Naturally
there is IA strong feeling of resentment
against the government on account of
the humiliation inflicted upon the coun-
try, but it is not thought anything more
serious than a ministerial crisis will
result.
