PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION.

Here is conversation that actually oc-
Cured on the streets of Yorkville, few
days ago, and which was overheard by
the reporter.
One of the parties to the conversation
was young farmer, who would like bet
ter roads; but who does not know Of any
way other than the method provided by
law to get them. The other party was a
citizen who believes that if this country
is to ever have better roads at all, it will
only be through the voluntary efforts OF
the people.
"But then I can't afford to give $40 OF
Sl5 worth of work on the roads," said the
young farmer.
"How many plows do you run ?" asked
the other.
"Two."
"How much fertilizer do you use each
year,"
about a ton, reckon"
"How many loads would it take to hau
a ton of fertilizer from Yorkville to your
home over a macadamized road?"
"Not more than one, I guess"
"And you could do it in half day3"
"Yes; easy enough"
"How many loads and how much time
would it take to do the same hauling over
the roads as they are now?"
"Four loads and four days, maybe"
"The time of yourself and team ought
to be worth something like 81 day
ought it not?"
"Yes; it is worth that much."
"Then in the event your neighbors
should club together to make macada'
mized road, you see that upon this one
item you can easily afford to give " ir
labor, for if you do not, you will have te
throw it away again next year anyway
And then you must remember that this Ii
only. .one instance. If you will just &c
on to figure out how much bad roads cost
you each year from numerous othel
sources, you will be more than astonisheo
to find out what large amount you car
afford to give to help make them better
The young farmer admitted the full
force of the argument, and when the two
men parted both were still thinking.

The big cotton ginning and compress
trust that was mentioned some weeks ago
as a probability of the near future, was
organized last week under the laws OF
New Jersey with capital of Sl,OOO,OOO.
The trust controls the patents on the new
cylindrical cotton bale, which possesses
so many advantages over the ordinary
square bale, and proposes to erect enough
gins and congresses throughout the cot
ton growing sections to enable it to secure
absolute control of the ginning business.

YORKVILLE, s. c.:
WEDNESDAY, FEB'Y "a, 1897.

- The disposition of the general assem-
bly, to lay special taxes on all trades,
professions and industries, perhaps, is
all right; but it seems to us that while
the proposition is under consideration, it
would not be a bad idea to impose at
least small tax on vagabonds and loaf
ers also.

up little, she will soon have a right to

fcial reports are correct the insurgen
army under Gen. Gomez has been divided
into small corps, and Gomez himself il
in full retreat before Weyler. A dispatch

crossed the military line in the provinct
of Puerto Principe, and is going eastward
through Puerto Principe in the direction
of the capital of the province. Gen. Cal
i1to de Garcia Gomez second in com

that King George ls to take command in

PROPOSED BLOCKADE.
Berlin.-It is learned that the proposal
of Germany to blockade the port of
Athens in order to check the warlike
ardor of Greece, was vetoed by Great
Britain, and there is little prospect of it's
being adopted. This with other infor-
nation tends to strengthen the belief
that the great powers are not seriously

ing the Present Session of
Congress.

HAPPY PENNSYLVANIA.
Now stand by the Party That Brought
Ihia ,ION.

NOW stand by the Party That Brought
This JOY.
Last Sunday the Philadelphia Press
printed reports from 46 of the 67 coun-
ties of this state relative to the condi-
tion of industry. In response to in
quiries l02 reports from as many diff.
ferent places were received. Comment
ing on this happy omen of good times
The Press says:
That there is good time coming we
have confidently believed since last No
Vember. Has 1t arrived? These 1O2 re-
ports tell us that all over the state
Of Pennsylvania, except in those un-
happy regions where i'll timed strikes
delay the awaiting revival of Industry,
mills are starting up everywhere, orders
are coming in and labor is finding en-
ployment Prices have not advanced in
every case and nowhere is there a few
erish boom, sure to be followed by re-
action. The advance is natural, healthy,
widespread, and, while profits would be
greater II prices ruled higher, that
which is made counts for more and
does not invite and stimulate the com
petition Of foreign importatlons
The present Is assuring and the
promise Is much greater. In the opinion
OF many competent judges this state Is
on the threshold of the greatest pros
perity In its history. From town after
town and county after county come the
same encouraging responses. 1t Is not
only mills and mines that show increas-
ed activity, but this activity and pros
perlty is shared by all related indus
tries. The merchant sells more goods,
the farmer finds a better market for his
products, the railroads find their freight
traffic greatly increasing and In their
turn are led to expenditures which give
new employment to labor.
'As to the cause Of this revival, It Is
not necessary, perhaps, to inquire too
curiously. A year ago Republicans
prophesied that the election Of McKin-
ley, the defeat of the cheap money
craze and the settlement Of the tariff
question would be followed by a re-
vival Of trade and business, and the ad-
vent Of better times. That prophecy has
been fulfilled, The whole country re-
joices In improved conditions and Penn
sylvania knows that a large measure Of
II has come to her."
