Experiment With Oil an Experiment No
More.

A second application of the oil
douche has been given the macadam
work on Blanding Street between Ma
rion and Bull. The first application
in June was so effective that on this
block, after an entire summer of
heavy, washing rains, the dust was not
half as bad as on blocks adjoining,
Notwithstanding the fact that mud
and dust had been carted to this
block, from blocks which had not
been treated with this bath Of oil.
In the second application, as in the
first four months ago, SIX barrels OF
oil were used. It has laid the dust
beautifully. Mr.. J. NJ. Graham, who
is deeply interested in this matter,
declares that it has passed the expert
ment stage and is now a custom. His
neighbors on that block were anxious
for the second application, and it is
reported that the block between Ma
rion and Sumter will be given an ap-
plication of this road oil. The cost is
about $50 a block, and three applica-
tions will keep the dust down for a
year. The second year two applica-
tions may be sufficient. This is cheap
er and better than having the street
sprinkled with water every day. In
addition to settling the dust and, IN a
measure, acting as a water shed, this
oil causes the road to become soft and
sponoy and vehicles with metal tires
run over it almost as easily as if with
rubber tires.-The State, Oct. ..18.

Wisacky Winnowings.

Mr.. Editor: Well, by the time this
reaches you Lee county will be weigh
ed in the balances and-if we may
take the the people of this community
as voicing the sentiments OF Lee
county. we will say, she will be weigh
ed and found sadly wanting.
It seems, Mr.. Editor that the Lee
county people could not have hit upon
a better year than this to get defeat
ed. for farmers are gloomy and are
confronted with matters far more i'm
portant to them than new county or
new anything else, unless its anew
way to pay these many obligations,
and fill up their empty barns and
smoke houses. =
Well, Mr. Editor, We have always
heard that times were hard and worse
coming, this has been saying ever
since We were little boy, and I tell
you, MI. Editor, if it amt about to
come sure enough, we are a poor
Judge of small matters. With the
shortest crop of cotton we have made
in twenty years, and still shorter
corn crop. nothing to fatten hogs
with, no rice, no 'lases, and not much
potatoes, we will say if somebody
don't starve clean to death in this
country next year, they will sure miss
a mighty good opportunity. .
The Wisacky school has opened with
good attendance, With one OF Sum
ter's charming young ladies as teacher.
and we look for splendid results, as
Miss Richardson is very highly
spoken of. We see no reason why
Wisacky should not have a high
school. When we ride over the country:
Say, Darlington for instance, and
see the large and nicely conducted
schools in no better country than we
have, we feel almost like complain
ing, and laying the blame on some
body. There is the Ashland High
School in no better country than this,
which would be a credit to any town,
and leaves the Bishopville Graded
School a long ways in the dark, so
far as the looks of the buildings are
concern at least.

Mr.. Editor: / am in receipt of let

Of the National Farmers Alliance and
State reorganizer, saying that he will
be delighted to meet and address our
citizens on the necessity of the re-
organization of the Alliance, On Fri

the use of the Court House on that
occasion, and invite all former alliance
men, and all other interested citizens
to meet there that day. President and
Organizer Wilborn will on that occa-
sion personally answer the request for
a pledge made by our meeting of Oct.
9th. I hope we will have good au-
dience and give him a respectful hear
ing. I would like to have the meet

the course we will pursue.

How do our esteemed contemporaries,
who stopped over so conspicuously
when they discovered that President
Roosevelt's mother was Southern
woman, feel now. By some occult pro-
cess of mind reading they ascertained
that the President had full and sym
pathetic knowledge of Southern feel
ings, sentiments, and conditions and
would so conduct himself as to win the
confidence and esteem of all Southern
people. No one should be surprised
that the President invited Booker
Washington to dine at the White
House, for when Governor Of New
York ne entertained negroes at his
house. A man has the right to choose
his company and if President Roose-
velt has liking for negroes he will
probably have them to dine with him
as often as he sees fit. From practl-
cal point of view it may have been
good politics to invite Booker WASH
ington to dine at the White House
for the negro republican vote in the
next national convention will be need
ed when Roosevelt makes his fight for
the Presidential nomination. This
social recognition of the negro will
also go far towards couteracting the
dissatisfaction that has grown up
among the negroes on account of the
encouragement, in the way of patron
age giyen.the democrats who have gone
over to the administration either as
out and oat republicans or as CONNER
cial democrats. Many Of the negro
politicians win gladly acquiesce to the
loss of Offices if they can salve the
wounds with social recognition. Theo-
dore Roosevelt may be headstrong, i'm
petuous and stubborn, but he is not q
man without guile. AS smooth and
adroit politician he is in the first
class

AN EXPLANATION.

s'The petition to the Governor refer
red to by Mr.. McCutchen was publish
ed in the Watchman and Southren. in
May 1898, but the signatures to the
same we're not. We are Informed that
in its republication in the pamphlet
mentioned by him, which pamphlet
was not published in this office, some
Of the names were placed there through
mistake of recollection. Mr.. Nc
Cutchen's disclaimer is, of course,
conclusive. The mistake ought not to
have occurred and is. regretted. We
learn that application has been made
to the Governor for a certified copy OF
the petition, and if furnisehd, the
same will be published in full, names
and all.
ssThe petition appeared to have been
generally signed, for in Mr.. Joseys'
Communication, also republished in
the pamphlet, he says y: this
petition, now receiving practically
the unanimous approval of the citizens
of our dear little newborn, &c.
"Since the above was written we
have been furnished with ten of the
petitions in question, all being alike
and published the same elsewhere in
this issue with the signatures thereto.
We are informed that other copies
with other names are in existence, but
have been misplaced. -
ssWe are Informed that evidence will
be furnished that Mr.. j. 4. McCutch-
en- approved the matter of said petit
tionEindeed that he suggested the
same and expressed his willingness to
join in said protest.
The above statement appeared in our
last issue as an addenda to card
from Mr.. j. E. McCutchen. This
matter was furnishedsby the committee
which prepared and sent out the
pamphlet referred to by Mr.. McCutch-
en-. When Mr.. McCutchen's card was
received we were at loss to know to
what he referred as we had never
heard of the said pamphlet. We
sought information from the commit
tee, and the statements made in the
first two paragraphs were given,
which, together with the card, were
published in The Daily Item, as re-
quested by Mr.. McCutchen. On
Tuesday afternoon the matter contain
ed in the last two paragraphs was
handed in for publication in the paper
the next day by member of the COM
mittee. Without giving the matter
the consideration it should have had
it was permitted to appear in the paper
without the signature of its author.
We take occasion now to disclaim
any responsibility for the statements
contained in the addenda to Mr.. Nc
Cutchen's card and to express regret
that we thoughlessly permitted this
paper to be placed in position that
we do not care to occupy-that of TAX
ing sides in personal controversy be-
tween Mr.. McCutchen and those who
prepared and circulated the pamphlet.

The City Council has appropriated
$500 10 supplement the $1,000 appro-
priation Of the county board of COM
missioners for the county exhibit at
the Charleston Exposition. The exhibit
is now assured and all that remains
to be done is to make it full and re-
preventative showing of the natural
resources of Sumter County. We
have the resources and with the hearty
cooperation of all of those who have
county pride and desire to advertise
before the world the greatness and
variety Of their county in natural
riches the money appropriated will be
sufficient to collect and install in the
State Building in Charleston an ex-
hibit that will be the equal of that OF
any other county in South Carolina.
Specimens of all varieties OF farm
crops produced in the county are want
ed and any one who has fine specl-
men should contribute it to the ex-
hibit. It is not necessary to attempt
to enumerate what is wanted for when
we have said that it is the hope Of the
committee to have included in the ex-
hibit specimens of each and every pro-
duct of the field and forest, we have
stated the scope of the exhibit in the
simplest but most comprehensive
terms.

strong argument with which to sup

costs great deal Of money to send

great deal more to induce the heather

next thing is to collect and prepare
the exhibit to be sent to Charleston.
We possess vast wealth of resources
Of field and forest and if the people
will but get to work and all work to
gether with the same object in view
the collection of the best specimens
of field crops, woods, ETC., and their
proper preparation for exhibition. Ii
we send our best to Charleston we need
have no fear that our exhibit will
suffer in comparison with the EXHIBITS
Of other counties. The time for col
lecting the exhibit is short but where
there are willing workers a great deal
can be accomplished in few weeks.
The amount of cash and hard work
expended by the advocates and oppo-
nents of Lee county would have accom-
plished great deal toward insuring
the early construction of that proposed
railroad from this city, via Bishop
vile. to connect with the Seaboard Air
Line. And the said railroad would be
of more benefit to Bishopville and the
surrounding country than the new
county, and the want of Seaboard
connection is more detrimental to the
business interests of this city and it
future prospects than the success Of
the new county movement can be.
When the new county fight is over and
done with, these lard workers should
bury the hatchet, get together and
build the railroad that we all need and
agree in wanting.
