Distinctly Felt.

Mr.. w. c. Haddon OF Due West was in town
last Saturday. He reports that the wave OF
prosperity which was set In motion by our
centible at Due West, but IT. was rather indis.
tinctjy felt in his ghborhood. The ebb OF
the prosperity was so nearly exhausted that
n was scarceiy perceptible at bis house. He
thinks that when the Indian Show shall start
It's era of prosperity that this whole section
viii be Submerged by a tidal wave OF pros
psrity.

Improving Health.

His many friends will be glad to learn that
the health OF Hon. w. II. Parker Is improv.
ing. While he and his friends would be glad
for him TO resume at once his wouted health,
yet they are all glad for any improvement,
though 1t be slow. Mr.. Parker made close
call. 1t Is hoped that many years of useful.
ness and happiness are still in store for him
whose life and services have been an honor to
his county and benediction to bis neighbors.

PLAYING at Politics.

An effort was made last week in the Hous
OF Representatives to pass a resolution con
demning Senator McLaurin, but the resolu
tion failed to pass the House. AfterWard
was contended that the failure was an I'm
piled endorsement of the Junior Senator
and a resolution was introduced into tbt
Senate and passed, endorsing Senator TIL
mans, course In the United States Senate
These, we believe. are the facts. Senator
Tillman was anxious to have his colleague
censured.
The war on McLaurin Ia alleged to be be
cause Of intelligent and patriotic vote or
the ratification OF the Paris treaty OF peace
and because Of his vote on other questions
In the Senate. Opponents to expansion made
themselves heard in former years, and dire
consequences were threatened in some In
stances. notably for the annexation OF Texas
and the Louisiana purchase. But the op'
ponents Of expansion have been beaten every
time. The:party of disintegration has never
prevailed, and we assume that McLaurin's
opponents have no other hope than depriv
ing him OF his seat In the Senate. Expan.
sion. from the earliest history OF the country,
has been good Democratic doctrine. Since
t16 OrRaulZStlOn VI tnls SONeIumeut tne
Democrats annexed 1855. $50 square miles
while the Republicans have admitted only
703,328 square miles. namely: Alaska, 5Sl.
400; Hawaii. 6,64O; Porto Rico, 3,67O; Philip
pines. III, ,326 Cuba, 47.27s. The Democrats
in 1854, offered Spain sl2OyOOO.OOO for Cuba. In
1901 the Republicans will hardly throw away
the island.
The an xiety to condemn McLaurln may
show the doubt which his enemies have Of
their strength.
Speaking for the Press and Banner we shall
support the man who endorses the Govern.
ment In It's fight with Spain, and we shall
vote for the man who believes in holding Cd
TO all that came into the hands OF the Ameri
can people as q result OF that war. We have
faith in the ability of the United States to
make the Philippine Islands q tower OF
strength, while the Filipinos will become as
loyal to the Government as are the citizens
OF South Carolina or Massachusetts. Believ.
ing that we have the best form Of government
and the best religion, we believe in extend.
ing the benefits of both. A profitable trade
and good religion follow the flag.

SHEEP CULTURE,
The way Mr.. w. A. Kluxh Gets His
Warm Clothing - He Thinks the
Editor OF the Press and Banner
Mipht Have Succeeded,

Might Have Succeeded.
Mr.. w: A. Klugh OF Greenwood was In town
last week. Among other things he noted this
EDITORS recent report of his experience in
raising goats and sheep. and said that If we
had paid az much attention 10 the animals as
we pay to the printing Office, that we would
have been successful as stock.ralser. He be-
lieves in sheep culture, and gave something
OF his own experience. He sells lambs as Ma.
jor Griffin did. at profit, and not as we did.
at loss. When he needs suit Of clothes, he
Just calls up his sheep and lifts the necessary
cloth. or wool, off their backs. In the spring
the sheep bask In the sunshine without their
overcoats, while 10 the winter, he keeps up
the normal temperature Of his own body,
with the overooat which be lifted off his
sheep. He had on when here last week nice
suit Of clothes which he got In that way. The
suit which he takes from the sheep Ia not put
on his own back Immediately. but he sends
the wool or to the proper machinery where 1t
undergoes various processes before II becomes
cloth after II Is made into cloth a mighty
good woman then gives 1t the proper shape,
when he goes out we'll dressed MAXWELL
dressed as TO comfort and as TO looks.
Mr.. klugh wsa disposed to interview US on
Theology, and fired some hard questions at
us, which we Will take under consideration
before trying to answer.

Mexican Funerals.

The Mexicans have queer way OF bury
Ing the dead. The corpse is tightly wrap
ped in century plant mating and placed
in q coffin hired for about shilling. One
or two natives, as the case may be, place
the coffin on their heads and go at trot
to the grave, where the body is inferred,
and the coffin is then returned.

Six Months so cents.

When the court had concluded his
remarks, the defendant with a bewitch-
ing little smile, hoped up on the bench
OF justice, and with bow that would
make Chesterfield look like a plugged
nickel thanked his judgeship and told
him that in her estimation he was
bird.
Later Miss Parrot was acquitted;
Officer Robin had his wings of authori-
ty clipped; Judas Humming Bird was
arrested for perjury and flew the coop
before his case came to trial, and Miss
Crane and Miss Polly kissed and made
up, and now scratch for worms in each
others back yards. HANK.

| red light. Hastily scrambling out on
top, l set few anchors, then looked
around to get my bearings. But no
red light was in sight. 1 was looking
for another place to light, when the
engineer whistled off brakes. Releas-
ing those 1 had set, went forward to
the engine, and enquired the reason of
the last signal. 1 was informed that
we had been. the victims of an optical
delusiOn. AS it was the fireman's seat
box wanted, and not explanations,
said nothing, but began to saw wood.
Nothing further happened until our
return from Lincoln, about three o'clock
a. m, the same night, with fifteen cars
of stock.-Air brake again-in the
same place; the same signal was once
more swinging across the track, the
engineer applied the air, then he used
the emergency department of that
invention, stopping very suddenly. But
no fiagman nor red light was to be
found. The conductor came forward
and asked us all manner of questions,
and when the facts of our having been
tagged in that spot on two different
occasions in one night were related to
him,-and nothing to show for it-he
advised us to change the brand of our
smoking material.
The three of us on the head end con-
suited together, relating former ex-
periences, truths and untruths-until
our Imagination was very pliable; con-
sequently we were very much excited,
and convinced that it was the hand of
providence warning us of an immediate
calamity of some sort.
When we reached Fremont we were
determined that under no circum.
stances would we return over that
piece of road until another day had
passed; so when the call came for me,
l said was sick and the engineer and
fireman advanced the same excuse.
After another crew had taken our
place, and had left town, we got together
and talked things over, and came to the
conclusion that we would never see
any of that crew alive again. We had
no desire to relate our experience until
we heard how they Jared; consequently
no one knew of the episode excepting
the conductor.
Contrary to all expectations, there
was no accident to the other crew. [
have never been able to satisfy myself
as to the nature or origin of that red
light-for red light there was.
What was it? Can anyone tell?
MAHNUD.

of all her hearers, had the desired effect
on the court, for altho Mr.. Owl was a
stern judge sympathetic gizzard beat
within his bosom.
For moment the court idgeted in
his chair, run his judicial claws through
his paderewskis, and finally arose to
say that the fiowery language and
prosy technicalities INDUCED in by the
fair defendant was in no way respon-
sible for the decision about to be
rendered by the court. He then said
he would postpone passing sentence
for ten days, and in the meantime
would release the defendant on her
own recOgniZance.

Bird Justice.

A FEW weeks ago an estimable
~ young lady, Miss Polly Parrot
by name, was arrested by
Officer Robin and brought
before his honor, Justice Owl, to answer
to the charge of calling Miss Crane
a "rubberneck." The defendant was
speedily convicted on the evidence
produced by Officer Robin and Judas
Humming Bird, the latter testifying
that he actually overheard Miss Polly
make the alleged insulting remark.
Judge Owl asked Miss Polly if she had
anything to say before the sentence of
the court was pronounced.
The defendant arose, adjusted her
topknot, and in her own behalf de-
livered one of the most eloquent
