Richland, February 25. = Saturdays
snow has hushed the sound of tho car
penter's saw and hammer at tho Seneca
Cotton Mills for few days.
Mr.. J. j. Dallcnger has been at homo
two weoks, suffering from rheumatism,
and is still confined to his room. He is
working forty mules grading down hill
for million-dollar cotton mill at Ian
caster. His son, Charles, returned to
Clemson yesterday, after being at homo
for some time on sick furlough.
We arc glad to SEQ Mr.. w. D. Stribling
out again after his wrestle with grip.
Mrs. Anna Stribling, wife of tho late
NJ. s. Stribling, is seriously i'll at tho
homo of hor daughter, Mrs. T. b. Wyly.

years by three years. Her relatives and
friends entertain grave fears as to hor
recovery.
We learn that Mrs. M. b. Dondy and
wife are ablo to be out again, after being

Mr.. Oscar Davis was thrown from his
wagon ono day last week while hauling

his leg, just above tho ankle. In the fall
his foot caught between log and chain
pole.
That was an exciting runaway scrape
at Richland last week when little Monroe
Mcdonald hitched now horse to the
buggy to take his sister, Mrs. Will Eos

tho shaft band broke and tho horse ran,
but fortunately the occupants of tho
buggy were thrown out with no bones
broken. The horse ran q mile and was
nnhurt, but good buggy was demol.
ished.
Mr.. j. p. Stribling says it is an injury
to his mules to haul corn to, instead of
from, his corn crib at this season of tho
year. He has never tried it before, but
he thinks tho rule will work ruin to any
man who will follow it. Paul had an
exciting experience in killing mad COW
one day last week. 1t takes Dave Conger
to relate tho story.
With such business men as Messrs l..
w. Jordan, r.. NJ. Richardson, j. S. Strib-
ling, II. l.. Coo, j. D. McMahan and w.

Extra Session a Certainty.

Washington, d. O., February 3d.
President Mckinley again announced to
Senators who called on him to-day that
an extra session of Congress is inevitable
and that it is his intention to convene
Congress about March 10Th or goth.
The signing Of the Cuban constitution
in Havana last night and transmission of
copy of the document to General Wood
this morning to be sent to the President,
seems to finally convince Mr.. Mckinley
of tho necessity of an extra session. He
declares he will insist on Congress shar-
ing the responsibility of settling the
Cuban question and that this can only
be done by an extra session, as 1t will be
dangerous and unfair to tho Cubans to
hold tho constitution matter ovor until
the regular session next winter.
1t is thought tho President will issue
the call for the extra session immedi-
ately after his inauguration, March 4th,
in order to get notice to members before
they leaye Washington

boon there somo little time, President

in tho neighborhood and started out in
search Of him. This in itself was proof
that something out of tho ordinary would
happen, for as u rule whore Mr.. Corbin
goes the inhabitants almost invariably
make themselves conspicuous for their
absence. Not so with President Hartzog.
AS soon rs he caught sight of stranger
on tho premises lo hailed him and asked,
"Is this Mr.. Corbin ?" and Mr.. Corbin
was compelled to admit that tho reverend
gentleman was n good guesser. A fow
minutes were consumed in general con-
vcrsation, but Mr.. Hartzog had some.
thing on his mind that had to be disposed
of, and presently he said: "Mr. Corbin,
this is tho first time have seen you, and
SO far as personal knowledge is concerned
l don't know you now; but from your
general reputation, if you have son at
your house, l want him down here. l
want young man with your character
istics on the place.
OF course Mr.. Corbin had son at his
house, and, like his father, his craw is
heavy ballastcd with tho very best of
flint grit But tho fact that she is his
fathers son" was sufficient for President
Hartzog, and jim Corbin now has posi-

ing the proper official tread the riot act"

lego, and if good, sound grit, straight
