Advertising as a Commerc ial Ra'
ting.

Country publishers receive
subscriptions now and then from
city firms who can have no in-
terest in the local news ef the
paper. This paragraph in the New
York Times may explain the
reason for these foreign" sub
scriptions:
ga wholesale grocer in this
city, who has become rich at the
business, says his rule is that when
he sells a bill of good on credit to
Immediately subscribe for the
local paper of his debtor. So long
as his customer advertised
literally, he rested, but as soon
as he began to contract his adver-
tising speace he took the TACT as
evidence that there was trouble
ahead and invariably went for the
debtor. Said he: THE man who
is too poor to make his business
known is too poor to do business.
The withdrawal of an advertisement
is evidence of weakness that
business men are not slc@ to act
upon. There's nothing like it.

Col. Lip Levin is responsible
for the following story, which he
says was told him by q naval
officer:
At a supper to some of the captains
of the navies of England, Russia,
Turkey, France, and America, 8
toast from each one in honor of the
flag he defended was called for and
here they are:
The Russian said: "Here is to
the bars and stars that have never
been torn down."
The Turk said: "Here is to the
moon of Turkey, whose wings have
never been clipped"
The Frenchman said: "Here is
to t. cock of France, whose fea-
theirs were never pulled"
The American said: 'Here is to
the stars and stripes of America,
which have never known defeat" !"
The Engllshman concluded as
follows: "Here is to the rampant,
roaring lion of Great Britain, that
has torn down the stars and bars
of Russia; who clipped the wings
of the moon of Turkey; who pulled
the feathers of the cock of France,
and ran like HI from the United
States of America"

The capital invested in cotton
mills in South Carolina now am
cunts to $1S,e14,Ooo, the number
of spindles in these mills is 1,3Oo,-
800 and the number of looms is
1852. Five new mills have
been added 10 the list of last year,
and the esospect is that many
more will be built in the year 1899.
That investors have confidence in
the success of cotton manufacture
ing in this State is shown by the
fact that more than $600,000 addi-
tional capital has been invested
in this business since the fall of
1897.

st. Louis firm is getting ready
to ship the largest amount OF hay
ever furnished on a single order in
the United States. Uncle Sam is
the buyer and the st. Louis Hay
and Grain company is the lucky
holder of the mammoth contract.
Under the terms of the contract
the firm must furnish 100000
pounds of hay and deliver it at
Chickamauga Park.
It will require 500 cars to carry
the hay. The length of the cars
used for this purpose is 40 feet.
If all of the cars to be used were
coupled together they would make
a train 1880 feet long, or more
than four miles, making the regula-
ton allowance of three feet between
cars. Each car will carry 229
bales, or nine tons. There will be
112,500 bales in all.
There are 25 bales to a ton of
hay and the average stack contains
seven tons, or Its bales. The
shipment will comprise the con-
tents of 64S haystacke. The
average haystack is Is feet high
and Is feet in diameter at the base.
The 100000 pounds of hay
would make a stack 10,2S8 feet,
or nearly two miles high.
Six seconds are required to slide
down an ordinary haystack in
which no pitchfroks lurk. Estima-
ting that he would 60 at the same
rate of speed, a person essaying to
slide down the monster stack would
have to slide continually for one
hour and four minutes.
Two tons of hay are usually
loaded Oh 8 two-horse wagon. 1t
would take 4,500 horses to tran
sport the hay, two horses to a team.
1t would take the horses nine
months to eat the hay.
The government calculates that
the hay will last the 10000 horses
at Chickamauga a little more than
three months. Figured strictly
on this official basis, the hay in
the big shipment would feed one
horse 333 years and four months.

for our defeat in the late primary
election, that he is more responsible
than any other man in the State
for the opening of the State dispen-
sary and the trouble and bloodshed
that has been caused by forcing it
upon the Democrats of South
Carolina, I have decided to ask
tie Prohibition Democrats of the
State to endorse me as a candidate
before the Democratic primary in
1900 for United States Senator
to succeed Senator Tillman. And
if they do SO I will then discuss
the merits of the dispensary before
the people, and endeavor as a
Democrat who is deeply interested
in the welfare of the people and
the good name of my State to con-
vince them that the State dispen-
sary should be closed to the sale
of whiskey as beverage and that
South Carolina as a State should
wash her hands of this Infamous
business and the men who in
augurated this corrupt political
machine within he borders. l

prosecuted by the crown lawyers, who
refused all offers Of assistance from the
lawyers engaged by the popular party.
The judge also showed strong bias
against the witnesses summoned for the

TIPPERARY.
A very sad accident occurred at the

In Cloumel, on Nov. %, resulting in the
death of fine young man named Will
liam Keys. recently promoted head por-
ter at the goods department.. 1t ap-
pears he went down the yard looking
after horse box, and spoke to the sta
ton master about 1t at one OF the sid
ings. He then jumped down on to the
rails of the down line to go further down
from behind the corner of the goods
store the engine Of the Thurles morning
train, which was running into the sta
ton, struck him on the body, and his
foot was caught under the wheels, and
the toes crushed. He was also serious
ly injured on the body. He was picked
up at once and sent to the Workhouse
hospital, where he succumbed to his in
juries about five hours later.
WESTMEATH.
On Nov. 80, the sheriff's bailiffs, pro-
tected by number of police under Ser
geant Johnson, Of Ballycumber, went to
Lemonaghan, between Ballycumber and
Ferbane, for the purpose of arresting
some tenants, who had retaken posses
sion of lands from which they had been
evicted. Their names are Rigney
(brothers) Connolly and Walsh, the land
lord of the estate being Mr.. Alexander,
Artane, Dublin. About two years ago
these tenants were evicted, but then,
also, they retook possession, for which
they were prosecuted and sent to jail.
After coming out of Jail they again en-
tered their holdings, but the crown did
not then proceed against them, with
the result that the landlord commenced
proceedings in the superior courts, where
an order was obtained compelling them
to quit the lands. They ignored this or
der; hence the recent proceedings. The
tenants were quietly arrested, and we're
Conveyed to Tullamore Jail.

of Wicklow monument to the memory
of Bill Byrne, of Ballymanus, and the
other Wicklow heroes of 1898. Mr..
Hugh Mccarthy, president of the Wick
lowmen's Association, Dublin, presided.
A sum OF Sol was handed in as a result
of the collection made in various par
ishes of the county on Sunday, Nov. 20.
OF the several parochial contributions,
Wicklow town headed the list with E21,
but the list was not complete, as re-
turns from Bray, Delgany, Barndarrig,
Tomacork and several parishes in West
Wicklow were still outstanding.

NEWS FROM IRELAND
The Pretty Irish Maiden.

The Pretty Irish Maiden.
I have roamed through Ireland far and
wide.
By the Shannon, the Foyle, and More;
hide
And eyes where love beams DER;
But maiden yet never met
My mountain, stream or sea
Like the pretty girl with the green gown
Oh, she is the girl for me!
Where the Dodder steals from Clients
And winds through the fields away,
saw her first, and my heart she stole
With her smile like the dawning day.
Oh, the apples bloom to her fair cheeks
come
When l whisper, "Asthore machree,
'Tis the pretty girl with the green gown
Is the only girl for mel"
Sure the blackbird's song is not more
sweet
Then her voice in the Colleen Rue,
Or the wishing we'll where the fairies
meet,
More clear than her eyes Of blue;
And the daisies love on their crests
above
The press of her footballs free
Oh, the pretty girl with the green gown
Is the only girl for me.
If l had the wealth of England's crown
Or the grass of rich Kildare,
AS an outlawed man from town to town
Through the lonely hills I'd fare,
And yield it all at my rivals call
If my bride she'd only be
For the pretty girl with the green gown
Is the only girl for me.
