SENATORIAL SPECULATION.
Looks Like Talbert Wants to Run Against
Tillman.

Tillman.
Special to the News and Courier.
Representative Talbert is too busy
fighting subsidies and the pensions to
paw serious attention to the political
rumors which occasionally float up this
way to the effect that he proposes to
make race for the senate against Sen
ator Tillmau. Mr.. Talbert says he
has given the subject simply passing
thought, suggested by an occasional
letter he receives from an enthusiastic
constituent. He assures me that he is
perfectly satisfied with his present posi-
ton in the house, and is contented to
remain here and render such service
to his constituents as long as they are
satisfied with his stewardship. He has
made it q rule since he entered con-
gress to refrain from interfering in any
way with local or state politics. He
contends that members of congress
should combine their efforts to pro-
noting the best interests of the people
of the state from a national stand
point, and allow others to manage 10.
cal politics. With his characteristic
conservatism, Mr.. Talbert says he does
not know what he would do if the
people of the state were to ask him to
20 up higher; but for the present he
is entirely satisfied to represent the
Second district in the house of repre-.
sentatives.

WAITS FROM WARREN.
Name of the Station Changed to Ogden
Notes About People.

Name of the Station Changed to Ogden
Notes About People.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
WARREN, February 27.-The rail-
road officials have changed the name
of our station from Warren to Odgen,
which makes the name of the station
one thing and that of the postoftice
another. This causes great deal OF
confusion in the mails. Therefore,
the postmaster is having a petition,
signed by the patrons Of the Office,
which will be sent to the postmaster
general, asking him to change the
name of the Office to Ogden.
Mr.. w. Banks Workman has been
quite sick the past week. He is af-
fected with some brain trouble, and
his friends have been very anxious
about him. His physicians say he is
on the road to recovery now, and,
with proper attention, will soon be up
again.
Mrs. S. E. Steele has been quite sick
also but is improving somewhat.
Mr.. A. L. Nicely has very sick
child which is also improving.
There is a great deal of complaint of
sore throat in this section in the form
of tonsillitis.
Mr.. Cornelius Bigham had valua-
BILE cow killed by train on the South
ern railroad not long ago. As to
whether he will recover damages from
the railroad or not, we have not
learned.
We are anxious to see some fair
weather, not only to dry the roads up,
but that we may start to preparing our
lands for another crop. This time last
year there had been considerable plow-
ing done in this section. So far there
has not been furrow run.
1t is not thought that the recent
cold spell damaged the small grain TO
much extent in this section.
If the weather had been favorable,
there would have been considerable
oats sown in this section by this time.
If the ground drys sufficient for
blowing any time soon, there will be
some sown yet.
We will not pretend to say who is
the happier of the two-Mr. E. W.
Conner or Mr.. A. L. Nicely. They
both have brand new girl babies at
their homes. S. K.J.

American civilians only are unsafe.
The American army is represented to
be on the defensive. Several times
large bodies of insurgents have been
found within the American lines and
have been driven back only after se-
we're fighting. The insurgents are said
to be boasting of their ability to de-
stroy every building in Manila and de-
claring their intention to do this.
A Madrid dispatch of Sunday rep
resented the receipt of dispatches from
Manila stating that foreign warships
were loading marines to look after va
rious European interests. Washington
says that this is all rot and nothing of
the kind has occurred. The Madrid
stories generally seek to make it ap.
pear that the American occupation of
the Philippines, so far, is very precarl-

but before she returned he was dead.
Captain Mills was gallant soldier of
the late war. He had resided in Rock
Hill for about % years. He was q
member of the Presbyterian church
and for several years has been the
oldest ruling elder in Bethel presbytery.
He was ordained an elder while still a
very young man, and at the time of
his death had held the Office for 81
wears. He was something over 70
years of age.
To Entertain the Veterans.
According to The News and Courier,
on the occasion of the Confederate re-
union, nearly all of the private fami-
lies in Charleston will entertain visit
ors. It has been arranged that rich
and poor alike will charge nominal
board. This is for good reasons.
Most of the visitors will feel better if
they pay their expenses out of their
own pockets, and if the rich should
entertain free of charge, their action
would hardly be fair to the poorer
families who may be unable to do the
same thing. But this will only apply
to those who are able to pay and who
desire to do so. Old veterans who
may not be able to pay, will not be
neglected. They and the public may
depend upon that.
Library For the Graded School.
Superintendent Dendy and the teach
ers at the Graded school have started
a movement looking to the establish
ment of frst.class library for the use
of the children. The movement has
the full endorsement of the trustees,
the individual members of which have
made liberal private subscriptions
amounting in the aggregate to about
s25. Superintendent Dendy has been
carrying a subscription paper among
the leading citizens, and up to last Sat-
urday afternoon every individual he
approached put down something. The
reporter is assured that it is the inten-
tion of Superintendent Dendy, the
teachers and the trustees to continue
to push the undertaking for all there is
in it. The matter is deserving of the
most liberal support. A first-class Ii
brary will be of incalculable benefit,
not only to the Graded school children,
but to the people of the town general

OUT IN THE PHILIPPINES.
The Trouble Continues as Lively as 1t Has
Been,

Been.
A dispatch from Admiral Dewey,
dated at Manila on February "a, and
saying: "For political reasons the
Oregon should be sent here at once" "
raised quite breeze last Saturday.
The public was unable to understand
the nature of the political reasons
which demanded the presence Of the
Oregon. The navy department ex-
planned that the dispatch was given
out by mistake; but that it had no
special significance. 1t only meant
that the Oregon was desired for use in
overawing the Filipinos. Members Of
the cabinet secuted the idea that Ger
many wus getting ugly again, and
there has not since been any develop
mepts that have thrown light on the
subject.
There is a considerable amount OF
stuff being published from day to day
under Manila dates but it is generally
conceded that the press censorship is
quite strict and it is impossible there
fore to judge what "news" is true and
what is false. There is good reason
to believe, however, that the city OF
Manila is pretty we'll surrounded on
the land side by the Filipinos and that
the Filipinos are holding their own
quite stubbornly. AS the result of the
disturbances of last week in the city,
all of the American women have been
taken on board the transports and war
vessels for safety. A Manila dispatch
to London says that European civil
ians in Manila can easily secure safety
from molestation by the mere an
nouncement of their nationality

A "Feller' Told Him.
Rock Hill Herald: "THE YORK
VILE ENQUIRER reports that Mr.. T..
G. Culp has not said he expected to
leave Fort Mill and make his home in
Yorkville. There has been a rumor to
that effect for a month or longer, and
a gentleman from Yorkville told The
Herald that Mr.. Culp would move to
that town es soon as he could secure
an acceptable home. 1t was upon
this information that we made our re-
cent statement that Mr.. Culp would
remove to Yorkville." 1t was Mr.
Culp; not THE ENQUIRER, who denied
the story. The Herald will please ob,
serve the distinction.

A correspondent at Fodder sends
statement of the recent death near that
place of Nelson Dixon, an old Negro
who lacked but a year Of being loo
years of age. He is reported to have
been born in Virginia on March lO
1900, and he came to South Caroline
in 1907 as a slave of the late Colone
Edward Avery. He served Colone
Avery until the close of the war as a
foreman. Dixon was the father Of Il
children. He had 81 grandchildren
147 great grandchildren and 7 great

was blind during the last 16 years o
his life. He continued in good state
of mind, however, up to the moment
of his death.

A COMPLETE SUCCESS.

Mr.. T. B. McClain reports that his
corn harvesting experiment of last fall
was complete success. The reporter
asked him about the matter few days
ago, and that was his very encourag-
ing report.
1t will be remembered that instead
of harvesting his big corn crop in the
usual way, Mr.. McClain waited until
about two weeks after the fodder was
ready to pull, when he went through
the field with a harvesting machine,
cut the stalks down close to the ground
and shocked them up, to remain until
later in the fall, when he ran the stalks
through a shredder. The shredder
husked the corn and cut stalks, fod.
der blades and husks into small pieces
ranging from an inch or so in length
down TO the fneness of wheat bran.
This stuff, which is called stover, was
salted down, packed in bales and
slowed away in the barn. Some 20
tons were lost as the result of a long
wet spell but fully 100 tons or more
was safely housed.
The reporter asked Mr.. McClain as
to the value of this stover, compared
with peavine hay. He replied:
"Well, of course you know that it
contains a considerable sprinkle OF
grain. do not consider it as good as
peavine hay by about Is per cent
The stock, however, are all fond of it.
They eat it with as much relish as you
could desire. I am satisfied that it is
worth as much per ton as the best tim
othy hay, and I am not certain but
what it is worth more. I think it is
worth more. / think it is more valua-
ble."
"Then you are thoroughly satisfied
with your experiment." ?"
~ am 80 we'll satisfied that I shall
never again attempt the plan of pull
ing corn and fodder separately. Count
ing the saving in the expense OF har-
vesting and the saving on account OF
utilizing stalks and other material that
would have otherwise been wasted, l
think I get at least 25 per cent. more
value out of my last crop than I would
have gotten under the old method"
"How about the condition of the
corn as saved by this process p
"The only damage there was arose
from the falling down of few ears to
the ground. I mean, of course, on ac-
count of this method. There was
more rotten corn than usual last year,
you know but it was not attributable
to curing in shocks. The proportion
that was damaged by reason of the
curing process, did not amount to more
than l per cent. of total damage sus-
tanned by the crop. In fact I doubt
if there was any more damage than
there would have been had followed
the old method. But you may say
that I am forever done with the old
method"

the merits and popularity of which are
attested by the constantly increasing sales
as each successive season passes by, and
although my arrangements Of the past
have been very satisfactory, they do not
compare with present arrangements, and
I am now better prepared than ever to
quote prices on FERTILIZERS, and
since it is quite an important item with
most farmers, I am sure that it will be de-
cidedly against their interest to buy fer

lowest fuctuating prices and made con-
tracts accordingly.
