SHIPPING CATTLE 70 CUBA.
CHARLESTON. TO DEVELOP A LARGE Ex
PORT TRADE IN CATTLE.
Nothing but Stock Bought and Fattcned In tho
Mountains OF South Carolina, Georgia,
~. Tennessee and North Carolina will
Be Used for Siauuhter.


# The prospects ere that Charleston
will develop large export trade in
cattle for Cuba during the next few
months. The preliminary steps to-
ward the accomplishment of this re-
suit have already been taken, and
the first cargo of cattle will be ship
ped from this port in the next day or
two. The cattle have arrived in the
city and the boat, which has been
contracted for, is expected to come
in at any hour. When the vessel
arrives the cattle will be loaded i'm
mediately and the shipment made.
The projectors of this new enter
prise are Mr.. w. G. War;: proprietor
of the Augusta Stock Yards, and
MIR. John A. Darwin, proprietor of
the Charleston Stock Yards. These
B., gentlemen have not only tested this
venture by a small shipment of cat
tie some time ago, but have secured
statistics that show conclusively that
it is good thing, and now they in
tend to 60 into the business extern
sively.
The first big shipment will proba-
bly, leave Charleston tomorrow on a
steamer chartered through Israel &
Keogh. The shipment will consist
of three hundred head of cattle for
slaughter, and it viii! go direct to
Havana, whore there is a strong de-
mand for cattle at present. For i'm
mediate slaughter all cattle will be
aent to Havana, and nothing but
stock bought and fattcncd in the
mountains of South Carolina, Gcor-
gia, Tennessee and North Carolina
will be used. 1t has been demon
,stratcd by experiment that for
slaughter, within a week or two after
arrival in Cuba, this kind of stock is
preferable. The cargo now waiting
for the ship to rnt in is made up Of
this kind of cattle, and not one in
the entire three hundred weighs less
thon 800 pounds. 1t is shipment
that is calculated, by it's condition
and appearance, to popularize in
Cuba beef received from the port of
Charleston.
RIessrs. Darwin and War; do not
propose to let their export business
end with the shipment of cattle for
slaughter. They have also made ar
rangements to ship cattle to Cuba for
breeding. The grade of cattle re-
quired for this purpose can only be
raised successfully on the coasts of
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida;
therefore, the development Of this
particular branch of cattle export
will assist materially the cattle rails
ers of the country and give them a
gO0d prohtaDle market Tor the stock
they raise. Experiment has shown
that cattle raised in the interior or
elevated portions of tho Southern
States do not thrive when turned on
the ranges in Cuba. The change in
climate is too radical and the stock
sickens and dies. The climate,
weather conditions and ills to which
cattle are heir on the South Carolina
coast arc very similar to those Of
Cuba, and the coast cattle of this
State, therefore, not only stand the
best chances in Cuba, but really
thrive splendidly in that county,

of their streets and highways. They
got to talking, and from talking to
working, and subscription paper,
good for $3.50, was obtained from
the business men. This was pre-
sented to the city council and a SINH

treasury. This was supplemented
by liberal donations of team work by
the farmers. Gravel pits were bought
and opened, and on four leading

hereafter and people will go there

doing very much to strengthen the

cate the people along lines the dem
ocratic party has been teaching for
years, than could be accomplished
any other way. The class of wit

ministration its own star witnesses
concluded to tell the truth. Who
would have thought for a minute
that sugar king Havemeyer would
testify as he did That "the laws

olies are but it's creatures" and that
protective tariff is the mother of
trusts. If democrat had express

treason in the eyes of COON republic.

Goebsl, who with an iron grasp has
ruled the democratic state conven.
ton since it assembled, nearly a
week ago, WAS tonight nominated
for Governor On the twenty sixth
ballot, after contest unparalleled
in this state for bitterness and deter
mination on the part of the winner
for skillful manipulation.
The end of the long, exhausting
fight brought reasonable degree
OF harmony to the factions which
throughout the fight battled for
every inch of ground. Nearly every
body joined heartily in demonstra-
ton when their candidate appeared
the first time before the convention
to accept the nomination and return
his thanks.

Platform Agreed On.

Louisville, Ky, June 23-The
majority of the committee on reso-
lutions has drawn up a platform
indorsing VIM. j. Bryan for the
presidential nomination in 1900, and
J. Q. Blackburn for United States
senator; making free silver again
the prominent issue; reaffirming the
Chicago platform in its entirety,
and containing a strong antitrust
plank. A difference of opinion in
the committee arose over an indorss-
ment of the adoption of the Goebel
election law, the majority favoring
it. In regard to the policy to he
pursued in dealing with the nations
new possessions, the ma jority is
conservative. The war with Spain
to secure the liberty of Cubs is sus
tanned, but the administration is
condemned for pushing the cam
paign in the Philippines. Measures
recommended are: Legislation
against the railroads, especially
against Discrimination in rates, and
against any combination to secure q
of school books.

no STOCK LAW IN BATES 90.

In the case of W. s. Bourland We.
Ben and Chas. Kenney, tried ia the
circuit court last week, Judge Graves
held that there was no stock law in
Bates County. The Kenney boys
had taken up soma hogs belonging
to Mr.. Bourlaud, which were at large
and found in the field of Kenney
Bros. Bourland brought suit in re-
plevin for his hogs and the right OF
Kenney Bros. to hold them was de
pendent upon the adoption of the
stock law In Bates county.
The election at which thu stock
law was submitted to the people was
the general election OF 1894, when
James Drysdale was county clerk
The law, Sec. 1854, Revised Statutes
says: 1.-The clerk of the county
court shall, within five days after
the close of each election, take to his
assistance two justices of the peace
or two judges of the county court,
and examine and count up the votes
given each candidate, aud give those
having the highest number of votes
certificate of election"
Until this has been done, there is
and has been no ascertainment Of
election. The records of the county
court as kept by Mr.. Drysdale show
that instead Of calling to his assist
ancs two justices of the peace or two
judges OF the county court as the
law directs, he called three judges of
the county court, thus making the
canvassing board consist of four
members, instead OF three as the law
directs
In the case OF state of Missouri VS.
Meakin,4 Al Missouri Appeal Reports,
page SO, the Kansas City Court of
Appeals held upon this point that
the canvassing board composed of
the county clerk and the three mem
bers of the county court, was an ille-
gal board and the ascertainment of
the result CT election by such a
board was no sscertainment at all
and the result of the election remains
undetermined.
Following this ruling of the Court
of Appeals, Judge Graves held that
the result of the election upon the
stock law, held in November 1894.
had not yet been sscsrtained and
that there was no stock law in force
in the county.
The situation is q serious one and
one brought about by the county
clerk failing to comply with the
plain and simple directions of the
statute.
