Through the Country.

Wednesday we took trip through
a portion OF Winneshiek county. The
famous Fairview farm of l.. r. Brown,
q. s. Gill, blossoms and produces as
under the management OF Mr.. Bro wn.
The A. j. Eddy farm, now owned by
Mr.. Paul Salto, under the manage
, ment of him and his sons, has been
improved wonderfully in appearance.
A fine vineyard of Concord and Moores
early grapes will come into bearing
another year; and with their abund-
ant harvest their 24O acre farm, when
prices are restored by the wave Of
promised prosperity that was adver-
tised last year, it will be a Klondyke
bonanza for coming labor and pro-
ducts into cash.
The M. H. Culbert farm of 400 acres
under the prudent management of his
son, Harrison and his wife, is one of
the most valuable money producing
farms of the county. OF the 400 acres
all but about 40 are in cultivation, the
pasture and meadow lands being upon
other parts of his vast landed posses
slons thereabouts. Hogs, horses and
cattle are grown on the farm and
home dairy of 10 or 15 COWS is con-
Quoted on the farm. Its large barns
and outhouseS make it a veritable small
village or hamlet. Its orchard is large
and the trees abound in the finest of
fruit which is already being put upon
the market.
Kendallville remains the same easy
going place of years ago. The mill is
operated by Mr.. Ryder, exclusively
for feed grinding. The structure shows
evident signs of decay. The place has
two stores, a creamery, blacksmith
shop, tin shop and a carpenter shop.
A pleasant call was made at Mr..
Hynes at their pleasant farm home
near the village. This farm is one of
productive ones of the county, every
foot OF its 100 acres being required to
produce something of profit and utility
From here we visited the farm OF
Mr.. Perry Townsend, which overlooks
the beautiful country to the north of
the Iowa. On this farm we found an
orchard of so trees planted by Mr..
Bents three years ago, the conditions
were that Mr., Townsend was to pay
tor the trees that lived and came into
bearing when that time arrived. The
trees are all healthy and vigorous
growers, hauing been we'll taken care
of, and nearly every one is loaded with
all the apples it can safely carry, the
branches upon many being bent to the
ground. The orchard is we'll supplied
with apples suited to every season.
We acknowledge the present of sack
of the finest Duchess we ever saw.
We found Mrs. John Stockman hap
py with her daughters, Mrs. G. A.
Pooler OF Austin, Mimi, and Mrs.
Chamberlain Of Marshalltown, Iowa,
and their children at her home. Mrs.
Stockman conducts her large farm
with perhaps as much skill and profit
as any farm in the county, demon
strating that she is eminently practi-
cal and thorough as a business mana
ger of large estate.

Lathrop Wins Over Melton.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The President
appointed Lathrop to-day in self-defense
and upon the assurance that no objection
would be made to his Immediate confir-
nation. Outside pressure for other can
didates precipitated the action to-day. It
was not the Presidents intention to make
the appointment until after the adjourn
ment of congress, but the Melton demon
stration decided the matter. 1t is a Web
ster triumph and so it will probably be
to the end of the South Carolina appoint
ments.
Both Melton and Won Kolnitz say they
will not accept second place under Lathrop,
but they may reconsider. No promises
have been made, Webster says tonight,
in the appointment of the two assistant
attorneys. Judge Evans of Marion, it is
understood, is slated for as the assis-
tants. Webster is "cock of the walk"
and Lathrop's appointment may be &C.
cepted as an expression of the Presidents
policy in making South Carolina appoint
ments.
Col. R. NJ. Wallace arrived to-day and
will look over the ground before announ-
cling his candidacy for the ~marshalship.
Speaking of the Senatorial campaign in
the State, he says: "If the election were

ahead" he says, about Yorkville and

Well, MI. Editor, the people Of our
community have been blessed again with
refreshing rains, and let me tell you the
crops are growing.
The Trinity school Is again open with
Miss Nitric McWhorter at her post. She

for I believe they need it.
Our community will soon have another
new residence. So get your hearts right,
boys, Miss Mamie will have q fine psrlor
before long.
We have not heard of the wedding bells
ringing, but we think they will if that
Belton boy keeps on coming, and we
hope you will, Sam, for you are always
welcome.
The Trinity base ball team have enter
ed upon the field onee again, and are now
practicing up to play the Anderson Fac
tory boys on Saturday, August 7th. We
hope the Factory boys will not do like
Pendleton, promise to come and then not
come. But be sure to come, for we will
try to make it an enjoyable game. We
hope everybody who can possibly come
will do 30, and especially the young Ia
dies, for we are expecting a most inter-
osting game. BABY o

Capital News and Gossip.

WASHINGTON, July 2l.-President Nc
Kiuley was the recipient to-day of an
unique complimentin the shape Of a huge
Georgia watermelon. Several members of
the delegation in Congress, accompanied
by a number of ladies and w. N. Mitch
ell, of Atlanta, the southern freight agent
of the Baltimore and Ohio, made the pre-
s~entation in the Blue Room of the White
House. The melon was about two and q
half feet long and measured six feet in
circumference. It was packed in a gold
en- hamper, wrapped in the American
flag and entwined with white silk ribbon,
on one end of which was the flag Of the
United States and on the other the arms
of the State of Georgia. 1t weighed sew
enty-eight pounds. 1t was secured by
the Southern office of the Baltimore and
Ohio, which offered a prize for the largest
melon grown in the South this year. The
States Of South Carolina, Georgia, Flori-
da and Alabama competed for the prize.
Representative Livingston made the pre-
sentation speech. In doing SO he refo. led
to the adage about the Greeks bearing
gifts, and assured the President, when
opened, no otfine-seeking enemy would
emerge. The President made q happy
response, saying among other things that
he was especially gratified for the assur-
auces that it contained no office-seekers.

Ned Needle takes In O Pic Mic and a
Lawn Party.

It was our pleasure to attend q pic mic
at Mt. Springs Tuesday last-a sure
enough pic mic. More than forty repre-
sentative Brushy Creekers-so pleasant,
clever and entertaining-were in attend
ance, and the old place, though it always
was dear to ye reporter, seemed dearer
and more beautiful than ever. The hills
and fields, clad in robes of deepest enc
raid, the grove resounding with the
thanksgiving hymns of feathered cboris-
tors, the willows waving their green
handkerchiefs in welcome along the pratt
thing brook all those happy young peo.
pie crowned, with green wreaths and
opening blossoms and attended by silver
winged zephyrs, what else could 1t have
been but an extremely delightful affair I?
"After SUPPER" which vas served in
sumptuous style, conversation and games
were enjoyed. Cupid, as usual on such
joyous occasions, was on hand with his
little fixin's. But the pic mic is DER.
"Blue Oh the distant mountains, love,
Brown on the neighboring hills,
Emerald sheen
In valleys between,
Crystal the brooks and rills,
Sing mcrrily, o, when summer weather
Brings you and me, sweetheart, together"
And the lawn party at MI. Jim Payne's,
rp in Brushy Creek Saturday night. A
score or more Of Piedmont people join
us in ~pronouncing that an enjoyable
affair. We were rather late, but got there
long before the fun was over. The even
ing was very pleasantly spent in conver-
%sation, games and "hiding fruit" of
which there was an abundance. The par
Elephants left at a late hour, thoroughly
convinced that it took Paynes to get up q
successful lawn party.
"Gray on the distant mountains, dear,
Shadows athwart the hills,
Red, green and yellow,
In blending mellow,
Natures old canvas fills
Sing sadly, sing not at all, sweetheart,
When summer is over and we must part"

Clemson is all Right.

The recent prevalent scourge of fever
among the students at Clemson College
is deplored by all, and especially by the
friends of the institution. Clemson's
troubles are the peoples troubles. Her
would-be and self-made enemies, how
ever, leave no stone unturned and spare
no pains in the effort to make it appear
that the situation is always alarming at
Clemson.
Sickness and death are two Of the natu-
raj consequences OF life itself. That a
great throng of students, representing
every section of the State, should in the
course of life become stricken with dis
ease is as natural as an epidemic of
measles, scurvy or smallpox in camp
during war time.
The trouble is abating, we are happy to
note, and Clemson is still in the ring.
Whatever the cause of the epidemic we
regret to note that some of the leading
newspapers, and physicians, too, have
fastened to lay the whole unfortunate
matter upon the shoulders of the faculty
and the students, all Of whom we believe
are innocent.
Nature, the great healer, is often back
of much sorrow. Clemson is all right

He Wants the Proof.

The Charleston metropolitan police maj
ter, which has been resting easy for quite
q while, will doubtless be. re-opened in
tho next few days and all the facts in
connection with the failure Of Governor
Ellerbe to remove the'system thoroughly
aired on the stump.
A few days ago Mr.. Mayfeld made the
statement on the stump that Governor
Ellerbe had been guilty of double dealing
in the matter and if he dared to ask it he
could produce the absolute proof of it.
The Governor was asked about it the fol-
lowing day, but he was disposed to ig-
more the matter altogether. In the mean
time he talked the matter over with some
Of his friends and yesterday decided to
give the press q statement. This he die,
and tho statement reads as follows:
81 would like to have the proof of any
double dealing on my part in reference

letters on the subject and any one having
q letter from me bearing upon it Is at
liberty to publish it and is requested to
do Sc. / told a number of people I would
not remove the metropolitan police from
Charleston unless the mayor and all the
aldermen pledged themselves to enforce
the ~dispensary law.
ST received several letters from friends
saying that I had told people inqliring
if the metropolitan police would be re-
moved that I would not remove it with
out a unanimous pledge from the mayor
and council of Charleston to enforce the
law in that city and asking if I had BEEN
correctly quoted. Ireplied in each casa
that my position had been correctly
stated and that T would not remove the
metropolitan police unless the mayor
and every alderman signed the pledgeI
required. After Mayor Smyth's confer
ence with, me in Columbia I felt certain
that the unanimous signature I required
would be given. Iheard that Comptroller
General Norton, a member. of the State
board Of police commissioners, was sick
and was gu!ng home, so, after Mayor
Smyth left, [ went to Mr.. Norton's and
asked for en shority from him to sign his
name to an order removing the metropol-

men all signed the pledge which Mayor
Smyth carried back to Charleston with
