A Big Protest Made by Restaurant Keepers.
APPEALED TO WASHINGTON
CANNOT AFFORD TO PUT STAMP

It Is Claimed That a Rigid Enforce ment of the Law Would Mean Bankruptcy
 to Many.

The restaurant keepers of this city, who have been in the custom of furnishing bottle of cheap wine with each meal in place of tea or coffee are protesting agains the new stamp law. A meeting was held last week and Revenue Broker Youngberg was requested to draw up a petition to be forwarded at once to Wash ington. The paper, which bears the sigma ture of almost every dealer in the city, is AS follows;

A exchange gives the following
sound advice to business men, If
you expect to conquer in the battle
of today, you will have to blow your
trumpet in a firm and sturdy way.
If you toot your little whistle and
lay aside your horn, there's not a
soul will know that you were ever
born The man than owns his acres
Is the man that plows all day, and
the man that keeps humming is the
man that's here to stay But the
man who advertises with a sort Of
sudden jerk, is the man who blames
the printer because 1t woulden't
work The man who gets the busi.
ness uses brainy printers ink not a
clatter or a sputter, but an ad that
makes you think And he plains
his advertisement as he plans a
well built stock, and the future Of
his business Is as solid as a rock,

Our sweet school girls, those
who have papa's and mammals with
big fat pocket books, are leaving
daily for some school or college out
of the city. We believe our own
schools here can learn them all
they will learn abroad. The only
argument we had advanced, why
boys and girls should be schooled
from home, is that they learn more
by contact with strangers than
they would by being thrown with
home people. We have seen girls
20 off to school, come back, and all
they learned was to pose, arch
their eye brows, use a few big
words, snub girls who did not 60
off, and when this is said for the
majority of them all is said. We
believe if a girl will study as she
should, the public schools here will
be good enough for them.

He was hungry and was waiting
a chance to I'LL his stomach. This
was the fix of the genius hobo who
took his stand at the corner of the
Cosmopolitan Hotel Yesterday, He
did not wait long until he espied a
young man with basket of long
green cucumbers from one of our
green grocers, for the hotel, and
advancing to meet the young man
with extended hands, the hobo
said; "for the house suppose ad-
ding, VI was Just going after them.
The basket was given him, and he
left for some cool retreat on the
outskirts of the city to enjoy his
cucumber dinner Several tele-
phone messages were sent from the
Cosmopolitan Hotel to the grocer
concerning the nonarrival of the
basket, and it was then that the
grocer found out this delivery boy
was "hjm aammed."

A lady who would not tell her
name was at the Pee Gee depot
this morning trying to get trace
of truant husband, She said she
was a widow when she married the
man and one child, a girl eleven
years old, and her second husband
thought more OF the child than she
thought he should, Yesterday he
took the child off and as he did not
return, she feared he had run away.
She said "lf he is gone, | think he
went to Jansen, Arkansas, for
it is there we came from She will
make a vigorous search for him
before she abandons the chase. 1t
must be a very thoughtless man
who would abandon his wife in this
or any other manner without CIV

MAYORS COURT.

Acting Mayor Murphy, this morn
ing, had three "vag" cases before
him, and he gave the dusty willieS
his best lecture, about how they
should earn their yictuals by the
sweat of their brow and telling
them that they should learn some
useful trade. The "vags" all nod
ded that they would and the Mayo
said 81 will start you all out in bust
ness by fining each of you 50 and
costs and let you work it it out on
the streets" There we're three
under lips dropped at this announce
ment.
A NEGRO man was the next
brought up. He was afflicted with
the "pistol toting" habit. Had it
bad when the police found him lug
ging around a big A calibre swamp
angel" which looked as though it
had been drug up out of some old
ancient ruin, still it had been scrap
ed off and sand papered and was
loaded to the rim with centre fire
cartridges and looked as though it
might do mu-derous work. Justice
Murphy asked the negro if he was
a rough rider, or if he belonged to
any branch of the civil or military
departments of this government
which permitted him to carry such
a weapon tucked in his trousers,
and the coon replied he did not.
Mr.. Murphy then told the prisoner
that the dignity of the state and
city had been trifed with by him to
the amount OF $25 and costs and he
could pay it either in silver, paper
money or labor at one dollar per
day. He was relegated to the
chain gang to do work aud the
pistol confscated.

We have before US a neatly print
ed book, the title "The Truth
About Cigarettes" The pages are
written by the Medico-Legae So
clety of New York, and we infer
after reading about forty-four
pages that from their stand point,
cigarette smoking does not inpere
one, but on the contrary is bene6ci-
al. Now we believe this-to be lie,
for we-have noted the evil effects on
boys from their outside appeareces.
Then taking cigarette smoking
from another stand point is danger
Gus and Obstructive to property.
We hear of a recent date to cite.
Last night an alarm of fire was
turned in from the four G boarding
house, and the two fire companies
went out They arrived after the
blaze was eXtlngulShed, which was
done by the bucket brigade at the
mill. The fire was caused by a
cigarette or cigar, thrown or left
on a bed and it was totally destroy
ed by fire and water after being
thrown from the room, We learn
the lady of the boarding housesaid,
when viewing the burnt bedding,
"that it was the third one she has
had burned for her by having smok-
ing boarders," We hope our smok-
ing friends after reading this will
resolve to stop the habit whether it
is injurious or otherwise.

Jack the Kisser.

Jack, the Kisser, certainly
must be in the city or his Imitator,
This morning the lady who watches
the store on the corner of Broad
and Walnut streets, was standing
in the door, she was approached by
a man, who had a companion with
him, and going in front of the lady
Que of them threw his arms around
her and attempted to kiss her. She
gave him lick in the eye, and
yelled for the police when the men
took to their heels.
The police took description of
the men and started in search.
One arrest was made, but the lady
said it was not the right party, and
the suspect was turned loose and
the search renewed.
Young and tender-budding lips,
should not be caught out too far
from a place of help, as Jack, the
kisser will remain here several days
yet before he is caught up with
Marshal Casey will catch him, how
ever, if he remains here and tries
his connubial business on our beau
tiful ladies, and when he is once
caught, he will fud that his kisses
will come pretty high or we are

1t is a noticeable fact that wher-
ever in the Spanish territory now

confidence is assured and capi-

that foreign nations no longer see

FIRE. He was near the head of the
column as it turned from the wood
road into range of the Spanish ambus-
cade. He shot one Spaniard who was
firing from the cover Of dense patch
Of underbrush. When bullet struck
his breast he sank at the foot of a tree
with his back against it. Captain Ca
prom stood over him shooting, and
others rallied around him, covering
the wounded man. The ground this
afternoon where Fish lay was thick
with empty shells. He lived twenty
minutes. He gave a small lady s
hunting case watch from his belt to a
messmate as last souvenir.
'With the exception of Captain
Capron, all the Rough Riders killed
in yesterdays fight were buried this
morning on the field of action. Their
bodies were laid in one long trench,
each wrapped in a blanket. Palm
leaves lined the. trench, and we're
heaped in profusion over the dead he
roes. Chaplain Brown read the beau
tiful Episcopal service for the dead,
and as he knelt in prayer, every troop
er, with barred head, knelt around the
trench. When the chaplain announc-
ed the hymn s'Nearer My God to
Thee, 7 the deep bass voices Of the men
gave a most impressive rendering Of
the music. The dead Rough Riders
rest on the summit of the hill where
they fell. The sight is most beauti-
full. A growth Of rich luxuriant grass
and flowers covers the slopes, and from
the top far reaching view is had over
the tropical forest. Chaplain Brown
has marked each grave and has COM
plete records for the benefit Of friends
of the dead soldiers.
Captain Capron's bodywas brought
into Juragua this afternoon, but it
was deemed inadvisable to send the
remains North at this season, and the
interment took place on ahillside near
the seashore, back Of the provisional
hospital.

volley was fred over the grave Of the
dead captain and a bugle sounded

menced raising sheep | bought the
best native ewes that | could, and
most of them were good sheep. [ bred
them first to Cotswold rams to give
them size, then I bred to Marino rams
to give them better class Of wool and
to make them strong and hardy. l
found that the Cotswold sheep was too
delicate for this State, and that the
Merino was not first class sheep for
mutton. [ had seen other breeds
tried, and from observation | decided
that the African broad-tail sheep was
the best that I had seen, SO I have
bred to broad-tail rams for the past
thirteen years. They are we'll suited
for this country, and one Of the best,
if not the best, mutton sheep in the
the world. They are easy to keep fat,
and are strong and vigorous. The
ewes are excellent suckers. They
drop their lambs early, and, think,
breed as early as any sheep, and earli
er than most sheep. Early, fat lambs
always find ready sale at good prices
in any market.
Wool is higher now than it has been
for several years, and the money from
the sale of lambs and of wool comes
at time of the year when money is
an unusually scarce article with most
farmers.
Sheep are fond of a change of food.
Our native pastures furnish sufficient
variety Of grasses and weeds, except
in winter. Then feed them on pea
vines and cotton seed hulls and meal,
and it is best to have something green
during winter for them to Craze on oc-
casionally. I raise red rust-proof oats
largely, and I let my sheep Craze on
the early sown oats when the ground
! is not too wet. If grain is large
enough, judicious grazing with sheep
is beneficial to the grain and, Of course,
is much relished by the sheep. 1
have known pastures that had SO many
wild anions in them that the milk
from COWS was not fit to use, and
short while after a flock of sheep
grazed in them you could scarcely see
any sign Of wild onions. Salt should
be kept where the sheep can have ac-
cess to it whenever they wish, as they
seem to want it often, but not much
at a time, but salt should never be put
with their food, or in the food of any
animal, as they would eat more salt
than they would otherwise, and too
much salt is injurious.

SHEEP IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
They Pay Better than Cotton.


TO the Editor of the News and Cou-
riier:: I comply with your request ask
ing me to write letter to the News
and Courier upon the subject of sheep
raising in this State. I have conside-
rably more experience in raising and
caring for sheep than I have in writ
ing letters for publication and I would
not write this letter, butit seems that
so few of the farmers of this State are
taking sufficient interest in sheep
raising
I do not think that farm is COM
plete without flock of sheep. do
not know of any meat that is as nice
and wholesome as good mutton. An
invalid can digest piece Of lamb, if
it is fat, tender, juicy and properly
cooked. A farmer who understands
how to manage sheep can have lambs
large enough to kill to eat by the 1st
Of March. [ have had lambs some
years that would do to eat in Janua-
ry.
Farmers give different reasons for
not raising sheep. Some say that
they are not fond of mutton, some say
that it is too much trouble, some on
account Of dogs, and some have excu
ses too frivolous to mention. AS to
not being fond Of mutton, surely they
have not seen the right kind, or prob
ably their tastes have become vitiated
from smelling too much commercial
fertilizers. As to sheep being too
much trouble, I will say that my ex-
perience is that they are not nearly as
much trouble as cotton: and if they
were not more profitable than cotton l
would give my flock away to the first
man whom I could get to take them.
Now, 1 will admit that it would be
very provoking to have sheep killed by
dogs, but I have been raising sheep
eighteen years, and I have never had
sheep killed by dog. 1 have quite
number Of bells on my sheep, and if
dog comes near them the bells make
so much noise that the dogs get SO
frightened that they forget they want
ed to kill sheep. Besides bells be-
ing good thing to scare dogs. they
are Of different sizes and tone, it is a
pleasant sound to hear the tinkling Of
the bells while the sheep are grazing,
or being driven to and from the fold.
Instead of cultivating all Of their
land, as some farmers are doing, some
Of it should be used for pasture for
sheep. They will make the land rich,
and in few years the pasture can be
cultivated and another section Of land
can be devoted to pasturing purposes.
I have some land that have treated
as above suggested, and the improve
ment has been so great that the yield
of crops has been more than doubled.
Every progressive farmer should strive
to "cause two blades Of grass to grow
where only one grew before"
What breed of sheep is the best, is
question often asked. Some prefer
one breed and some another, each one
claiming that the breed he fancies is
the best; so, "when doctors disagree,
who can decide?" When I first COM
