-Apropos of the reviving interest in
wheat growing in this section, it is not
out of place to again relate the fact
that the -four sack is York county
invention. Few people nowadays
would be able to realize that the flour
sack is an invention. 1t is not difficult
for them to imagine old Adam himself
keeping his -four in sacks, which Eve
would convert into shirts for Cain and
Abel but nothing of the kind ever
occurred. The first shipment of -four
in sacks was made from Yorkville in
1852. There was great deal of wheat
raised in this section in those days,
and sometimes it happened that the
coopers ran behind in their contracts
for the supply of barrels. 1t was un-
der circumstances like this that the
late Captain T. S. Jefferys put up a
large quantity Of -four in sacks and
took what was considered very Dig
risk in shipping it. The experiment
proved successful, of course, and soon
after that the -four sack became more
plentiful than the -four barrel. Since
then, of course, the northwest has
demonstrated its superiority as a flour
producing country. Up there flour
can be produced at much less cost
per hundred pounds than down in this
So can corn. But there
never has been time from that day
to this when either corn or -four could
be produced in the northwest and sold
in this section in legitimate competition
with the home crops.

- The international sporting event
of the season will be the yachts race
between the Shamrock, representing
Great Britain, and the Columbia, rep.
resenting the United States. Both
yachts are now ready and the race
will take place within the next few
weeks. The Shamrock arrived at
New York last Saturday, having made
the trip across the Atlantic in Is days ;
the fastest time on record for sailing
vessel. Only about 1, 200 miles of the
distance was actually sailed. The
yacht was towed the balance of the
way by steamer. The Columbia was
built at the instance of number of
wealthy Americans. The Shamrock
belongs to Sir Thomas Upton, mil
lionaire tea, coffee and fruit merchant
of London. The race, as most of our
readers no doubt remember, is for the
possession of the queens cup, trophy
that has been in the hands of Ameri-
cans since the early fifties. Several
have at different times
constructed and brought over yachts
with which they hoped to win back
the cup; but each effort has proved a
failure. The Columbia is undoubtedly
the fastest yacht that has ever been
built Oh this side of the Atlantic, and
it is conceded that the Englishman
has faster vessel than has yet been
sent over from the other side. There is
much interest in the result of the con
test, and both sides seem to be conf
dent of success. The probability seems
to be that the Americans will win

law was intended to restrict and cur
tail the sale of liquor, he now an
nounces boldly that the primary object
of the law is to give the people all the
liquor they want to drink, encourage
them to drink as much as possible, and
to thus secure to the state from this
source all the revenues that is to be
had. Having accepted Tillman's ori.
ginal declarations in good faith, the
Prohibitionists hold to them yet. They
believe that until the liquor evil is
gotten under still better control than
it is now, the dispensary is the best
solution of the question that has ever
been devised, and for the present they
are willing to hold on to the dispen-
sary; but at the same time they are
determined on a policy of restriction
and curtailment rather than of further
development of the liquor business in
South Carolina.
The genuine Prohibitionists of South
Carolina are neither hypocrites or
towards. No more 30 than is Senator
Tillman. They have not been and
are not as inconsistent as is Senator
Tillman. They do not harbor the
least hostility toward Senator Tillman,
and they would no more think of COM
bining with the so-called local option
liquor men, than they would of voting
outright for the reinstatement of the
saloon, grogshop or brothel. But
Senator Tillman need never ask the
Prohibitionists of South Carolina to
cooperate with him in developing the
states liquor business through the dis
pensaries or in any other way. They
will do nothing of the kind. If, how
ever, he will return to his original
declaration of restriction and curtail-
ment, looking to the eventual abolition
of the liquor business in South Caro-
lima, he will find in these same Prohi.
bitionists, whom he is now disposed to
abuse, the most powerful and enthusi-
astic supporters he has ever had in

NEILL,S ESTIMATE,

Many of the cotton raisers of this
section are very much incensed against
Statistician Henry M. Neill on account
of what they consider his outrageous
cotton crop estimate. In conversation
with the reporter last Saturday, we'll
known farmer delivered himself about
as follows:
SIN my opinion Neill is just sneak
ing liar. I have no idea that this
years cotton crop will run to any
thing like 100000 bales, and do
not believe Neill has any such idea
either. He is making his predictions
for what there is in it for him. 1t may
be that he started out honestly enough,
and have no doubt that he is thor.
ough expert in getting up information
of this kind. But he lied deliberately
last year, and 1 believe he is doing the
same thing this year. Of course he
made what appeared to be plausible
excuses for his failure of last year, and
he will, no doubt, try the same thing
again on his present prediction. He
has already made his pile by this kind
of lying, and he will continue to pros
per until he is found out, when some
other honest rascal will he ready to
step in his shoes. The idea that such
people can cost the people of the south
millions of dollars each year is out
rageous."
The reporter heard expressions of
similar sentiments from several differ
ent farmers. Most of them, of course,
were only giving vent TO their feelings; /;
but it is not improbable that they are
pretty close to the truth. However,
there is no doubt of the fact that Neill
has the inside track on such matters.
He has made his reputation as a sta
tistician, and whatever he says is cal
culated to have wonderful effect on
the spectators of the country.

Biennial sessions of the gener,

- Biennial sessions of the general
assembly would save the state $4,000
or $50, 900 year annually and insure
more mature legislation. Unless the
voters take hold of the matter for
themselves, there is no probability that
there will ever be a change from an
nual to biennial sessions. A majority
of the members will necessarily be in
fuenced by their individual prefer
ences. 1t is time, therefore, for the
subject to receive attention. When
individual citizens decide what they
want majority of them may have it
that way.

Local Cotton Receipts.
The statement of cotton shipments

Cotton mills have handled consider

Yorkville to S,1S5 bales. The esti-
mate of something over $4,000 bales

correct.

QUITE A TROUBLESOME CROWD.

Magistrate Anderson's baseball nine
is still giving the chaipgang guards
more trouble than all the other con-
victs put together. One of them tried
to escape last Thursday, and he got
up quite an exciting race.
Babe is the boys name. He is only
12 years of age and the youngest
member of the nine; but has the rep
utation of being very tough case.
1t is said that when he was only eight
years of age, he beat his way to Chi
cago and back to Rock Hill, and after
ward he tried to 60 with the Rock
Hill company to the Spanish war.
Since his commitment he has been
doing duty as a waterboy, and hav-
ing the idea that the guards consider
him too young to kill while running
away, be requires very close watching.
Picking a favorable opportunity just
after he had brought bucket of
water last Thursday, Babe slipped
away, and his absence was not noted
until he had gotten several hundred
yards. Superintendent Culp galloped
after him but "Babe" hid under a
brush pile in gully, and it was neces-
sary to turn loose the dogs.
The race that followed was a long
one, lasting two hours or more. The
boy passed ahead of bevy of school
children and succeeded in puzzling
the dogs; but finally he was captured,
and it is perhaps unnecessary to say
that he received sound thrashing.
Afterward, in the presence of the
boy, Superintendent Culp gave instruc-
tions something like this: "Next time
this scoundrel tries to run away, shoot
him down just like you would rabbit.
Somebody is going to have him to kill
some day, and we may as well do it as
anybody else." Just how much OF
this the superintendent meant, the lit
tie Negro will have to decide for him
self.

TILLMAN AND The PROHIBITIONISTS.

w uoVucI uC oeiu CAaSoiy "aoo LIZ -
reported to have said at Sumter OF
not, there is no doubt of the fact that
from his own admissions, Senator Till
man is very hostile to Prohibitionists
and it is equally clear also that this
hostility is not we'll founded from any
standpoint of justice.
People who are familiar with the
history of South Carolina politics dur
ing the past dozen, will not have to
strain their memories a great deal in
reviewing the period when Senator
Tillman was on the fence on the whis'
ky question. 1t was hack in 1892
There was a strong prohibition senti-
ment throughout the state then, and
but few politicians who dared monkey
with the question. Senator Tillman
was among the number who agreed to
allow the issue to be settled by means
of separate box in the general pri-
mary, and he, like the other politi-
clans, was very careful how he wagged
his tongue, keeping that organ exactly
in the middle of his head and gener-
ously promising to obey the will of the
majority, as expressed at the ballot
box.
The result of the memorable ballot
that followed is often referred to with
a weak kind OF a claim to the effect
that majority of the people never
expressed themselves on the prohibi-
ton question. 1t is not worth while
to argue this point. The total number
of votes cast in the primary of 1892
for Tillman and Sheppard was 81 ,462.
The total number of votes cast on the
prohibition question was 72,24O. OF
these, 35,s32 were for prohibition, and
26,S52 against, leaving the inference
that Notwithstanding a general policy
on the part of most of the politicians
to discourage voting on this question
altogether, the subject was quite in
teresting. The Prohibition plurality
in the state was $3.50.
It was after this verdict that Sena-
tor Tillman gave the state the dispen-
sary law. He gave this law under
pretense of furthering prohibition, and
it was on that ground that it received
the support of Prohibitionists. In all
the terrible war that was afterward
waged by the liquor men of the state
against the dispensary law, the Prohi-
bitionists stood firm, and made the
success of the law possible. Had the
Prohibitionists Joined forces with the
enemies of the law, then it would
have been swept from the statute
books the same as would be the case
in the same event now. So instead of
abusing the Prohibitionists on this
question, it would become Senator
Tillman much better if he would ac-
knowledge his obligation to them on
the subject, for basing, as he does, his
career on the dispensary law, he owes
to the Prohibitionists all that he is or
expects to be.
When Senator Tillman assumes that
the Prohibitionists of the state are
enemies to him or to the dispensary
law, he makes serious mistake. The
Prohibitionists of South Carolina care
very little for Senator Tillman, Mr..
Featherstone or any other man. But
they do care a great deal for the prin-
ciple they advocate and in one res
pect, at least, Senator Tillman is at
wide variance with them. For in
stance, although he started out with
the declaration that the dispensary

Deep in the fog hung vale below,
I canuot hear its murmurs rise
To fret these mountains crowned with.

My soul is tired of storm and stress,
The tumult of the peopled ways;
The crowded streets are emptiness
That mock the passing of the days.
But here there Is no sound to maj

Threading the solitudes afar,
The faint, soft footballs Of the years.
I seek the wood paths and the streams,
Following the devious way thereof,
To dream the half forgotten dreams,
To live the memories Of love.
Twas here we heard the linnet trill
At summer morns beneath the caves;
Against the blue above yon hill
The fir tree traced its fernlike leaves.
Twas there on adian afternoons
A golden haze lay on the slope.
When all the world was loves and
June's,
And heart throbs beat the hours OF
hope.
Between me and that long ago
The years gray levels intervene,
Like the dim valley stretched below,
From attitudes of love unseen.
And soft as summer mists that fall
On distant slopes and woods and
streams
Lies on the days beyond recall

of lace and flowers are also seen. Among
novelties may be mentioned a huge but

and gold embroidered crown.
Some very attractive hats of velvet and
fur are shown. They are of various shapes
and are trimmed with the same materials
and with feathers. The fur employed is
usually chosen to match the boa or collar
ette worn with the hat.
A novel evening cape falling a little be-
low the waist, consists of white, curled
COZ feathers. The cape itself and the

down, and the effect is very light and
dainty and exceedingly juvenile. Such a

in the accompanying illustration. The

cut in points at the side and fastened
with olives Of gray silk. There is a short
basque also cut in points. The entire
bodice is trimmed with fine steel galloon
and opens over a sort of guimpe of ermine,
having a very high, rolled overcollar of
the same fur. The sleeves are trimmed
with steel galloon and have ermine cuffs.
The costume is completed by a hat of gray
felt, trimmed with black plumes and
black velvet. The belt is of violet velvet.

across the bust and are trimmed with APP
%pliques, passementerie, embroidery or fur.
The materials employed are cloth, thick
silk, matelasse and velvet.
Very short, tight jackets are made to
match the gown and complete the cos
tune and may be much trimmed If it is
desired. Sleeves of all outer garments are
made as small as is compatible with the
easy admission of the sleeve of the gown,
and, as gown sleeves are small, wrap sleeves
need not be very large. For heavy cloak
ing goods an ingenious device is used to
prevent clu,nsiness at the armhole. The
extra fullness at the top of the sleeve, in
stead of being gathered into the arinhole,
Is taken up by several small, fiat darts, 80
there are no gathers at all.
