ELLERBE Is GRATEFUL.
The Governor Has Something to Say Of the
Recent Election.

The Governor Has Something to Say Of the
Recent Election.
Columbia Register, Friday.
Governor Ellerbe was able to come
down to his Office this morning for the
first time since the election. He has
been indisposed for several days and
acting upon the advice of his physi-
clan has remained in doors all week.
He regretted that he was unable TO
address the soldiers Of the Second regi-
ment before their departure for Jack
sonville, but circumstances were
against him.
When asked if had anything to say
concerning the election, or any state
ment for publication, Governor Ellerbe
replied as follows:
"a mild attack of la grippe has con-
fined ME to my room for several days ;
but am much better today.
II am deeply grateful to my fellow
citizens who supported my candidacy
for reelection. 1 attribute my small
majority to the opposition of towns
and cities to the dispensary and the
exceedingly light vote polled in the
country. 1 shall always remember
with pleasure and profound sense of
gratitude the handsome vote l receiv-
in the first primary.
"Considering the strength of my op-
position, opposed as I was by a num-
ber of influential and able men, it was
the compliment of my life. But CRATE.
full as am to the people of the state
for again honoring me with their suf-
frages, I accept the congratulations OF
friends with mingled feelings of joy
and sadness-joy at the renewed mani
festation of confidence in me and sad
ness because of a realizing sense of the
enormous responsibility again assum-
ed. | have no other ambition except
the faithful and conscientious dis
charge of my official duties, and hope
when my second term shall have ended
shall have done something worthy to
I've remembered. I have had great
deal to contend with since l have been
governor, and, being an inexperienced
man, it was but natural that should
have made mistakes but my expert
ence will he worth something to me in
the future, and l trust my adminislra-
ton during the second term will more
fully meet the approval and confidence
of the people.
81 ask forgiveness for those who have
wlfully and maliciously sland, red me,
and trust they may he taught that
open, honest, disinterested criticism Is
right and is 10 be welcomed; but that
abuse, slander and Misrepresentation
is unmanly and dishonorable."

BEWARE OF CHIMNEY FIREs.-Now
is the time to beware uf chimney fires.
1t is generally supposed that the great
est danger from these is in mid-Winter,
when furnaces and ranges aud stoves
are being forced to their utmost capa-
city. But now that the fires are al
lowed TO get low occasionally, and
more wood is used, the SCOT collects
more rapidly'iu The chimney; and un.
less precautions are taken to avoid
this accumulation, Il fierce blaze in
starting new fire will ignite the SCOT,
and cause the dreaded chimney fires.
There is no better method of avoid
ing this than that so often recommended
of burning pieces OF zinc. Atthls season
plenty of old ziuc should be kept on
hand for this purpose. A piece OF
zinc placed on the live Goals III hot
stove will effectually clean out the
stove pipe and chimneys, the vapors
produced carrying off the SCOT by
chemical decomposition. This should
be kept in MUD by those who have
been burning wood instead of coal for
fuel, and also by those who use guam
titles of paper, shavings, etc., in the
frequent kindling of fires.

FEATHERSTONE IN DEFEAT.
A Manly Letter to tho People Of South
Carolina.

A Manly Letter to tho People Of South
Carolina.
To the Editor of The Sunday News:
Please allow me space in your columns
that I may say a few words in refer
ence to the recent election.
In the first place, l desire to thank
my friends all over the state for the
many kindnesses and courtesies shown
me during the recent campaign, and
for the large vote given me on the 3Oth
of August and 18th of September.
From the bottom of my heart appre-
ciate their kindness and support. l
shall endeavor to so conduct myself
that those who gave me their support
shall never have cause for regret.
have made the best fight that /
could. have made it upon the high
est plane of which was capable.
When I entered the race I was con-
scious that was advocating what was
right. The campaign has but strength.
ened my convictions along that line.
I have no regrets. My conscience and
skirts are clear.
In the second place, l would urge
my friends and supporters not to he.
come discouraged. We have made u
good fight. We have fought upon high
ground and for the sake of principle.
We have nothing to be ashamed Of.
Better things are in store for us in the
future. Right must and will triumph
in the end. Go to work in earnest for
the cause that you love. Be more in
earnest than ever, and in the future
good results are sure to follow.
In the third place, let me urge my
friends to be true and loyal to the in
coming administration. Byyour earn.
est cooperation and support it can he
made better. 1t is your duty as good
citizens to stand by the law, so long as
il remains the law, no matter how bad
it may be. We have had enough strife
and bitterness in South Carolina. We
must get together and bolster up our
officers and assist them in the dis.
charge of their duties. 1t is not the
part of good citizenship to abuse and
vilify those in power. On the contra
ry, the good citizen, even though he
belong to The minority, will, after he
has made his fight, rally to the sup
port of those by whom he has been
beaten, and assist them in the execu-
tion of the laws.
I therefore urge my friends to throw
aside their disappointments and preju.
iices, and act as true Carolinians
ought 10 act.
For those who have fought me upon
principle, who have been fair and have
used no improper means, have moth
ing hut the kindest feeling. They
have simply done what they had a
right to do. Those who have fought
me from improper motives, and have
used doubtful methods, will find pun
ishment enough in the accusations Of
their own consciences.
l have nothing of the "sore head"
about me. 1 shall not "sulk in my
tent" I am ready and willing to do
all in my power to benefit and help
old South Carolina. Very truly,
e. FEATHERsToNE.

THE PRESERVATION OF WOOD.

Never apply paint or any other coat
ing to green or unseasoned timber. If
the wood is not we'll dried, the coat
will hasten decay. Oil paints are used
to increase the durability by protect
ing the wood against moisture. All
exposed unpainted boards become gray
and fuzzy, warps and checks, the nails
rust out, and even if it is not exposed
to rain, damp air, steam, etc., occasion
similar mischief.
For coating, coal tar, with or with
out sand or plaster, and pitch, especial
ly if mixed with oil or turpentine and
applied hot, thus penetrating more
deeply, answers best. A mixture OF
three parts coal tar and one part un-
salted grease, to prevent the tar from
drying until it has time to fill the min
ute pores, is recommended. One bar
rel of coal tar, costing So to 81, will
cover 300 posts. Both tar and oil
paint have the disadvantage that they
act as mere covers. If the wood has
any chance to get moist before paint.
ing, they are harmful instead OF useful.
Heavy tar oils, freed of their vola-
tile as we'll as their thick tarry consti-
tuents, such as are now offered i'll the
market under the name of ofcarbolineum,
are preferable to paints and tars. b.
E. Fernow, circular 20, Division OF
Forestry, United States Department OF
Agricultural These oils penetrate
and act as antiseptics, usually killing
the fungi or at least retarding their
action and development. They are
applied with brush or else as baths,
usually and prett rably hot. They can
not replace paints where the looks ol
the materials are to be improved.
Charring assists merely as all insulalor,
the wood from the ground,
aud as fungi cannot eat their way
through charcoal they are prevented
from entering. Generally, however,
the process develops large cracks, and
thus exposes the interior to the at
tacks of the fungi.-Orange Judd Far

MILK REGULARLY.-Regularity in
time of milking is necessary. The
dairy COW is a good time'keeper, and
knows very well when milking time
comes. If she is neglected and allow
ed TO 70 far beyond the regular time
she begins to worry and loss follows.
There are some cows that certain
mixers can never get clean. They
milk out all that flows readily, strip
around once or twice, and call her
finished. With some cows this will
do, but with others the milker must
reach well on the udder, and work
it with a sort of kneading process. A
little manipulation of this sort will
cause the whole quantity to flow into
the teats, whereas, without it, there
will be from: a gill to pint of the
richest milk left in the udder every
time which means prematurely dry
cow.-Indiana Farmer.

POULTRY AND PoRK.-A poultry
breeder says farmers will feed bushel
of corn to produce 6 pounds of pork
worth 25 cents, while this bushel
would keep q hen year. She would
lay at least IL dozen eggs, which,
averaging 10 cents dozen, would
equal S1.2O, and she would rear a
brood of chickens worth twice as
much more, making total of nearly
SIS. Experiments made at the Utah
agricultural experiment station seem
to prove the correctness of the state
ment made in the paragraph quoted
above. Another paper says: "Forty
dozen eggs will bring more money
than load of hay, which requires a
great deal of labor to produce, and a
good-sized patch of ground to grow,
besides lots of sweat. Study the egg

mt the bullock on the altar. Why
did he put water around the altar?'

FATTENING ToGs.-A hog fattens
more quickly by being fed no more at
anytime time than it will eat. 1t
should always clean up all in the
trough. When it has fed, clean out
the trough and do not feed again until
the animal shows plainly that it is
hungry. If overfed so that it feeds in
differently it will lose less weight to
permit it to 90 without food day
than it would by continuing to feed
beyond its appetite. Probably no 9th
er animal is so sensitive to injury from
overfeeding as the hog.

PROTECTING TREES AGAINST RAB'
Ts.-While there are innumerable
remedies recommended and used for
the protection of young trees against
the depredations of rabbits, mice and
other animals, there is nothing better
and more reliable than small meshed

and tied together with wire. 1t is
inexpensive, durable, does not keep
out light and air, and is in every way
preferable to tarred paper, tin and any
of the close coverings recommended.

FALLING OFF In MILK.-Many
dairymen are disappointed at the be-

to the sudden change from green to

winter sets in, increasing the dry food
daily until the COWS are giving the
proportion of it.
