honors he did not devote much atten-
ton to them. He told his hearers why
he voted against revoking the charter OF
Virginia Carolina Chemical Co., why
he voted against 100000 for pension
and 800, 900 for free schools. He claim
ed that all of these things had been ex-
planned by him in his paper at the time
and the people are familiar with it. He
showed the condition of our county
affairs when he was elected to the sen.
ate, and what it is now. He said when
he was sent to the senate the country
was away back in debt, with levy of
Al mills, and as a business man, he
urged the levy to be raised to 5 mills,
and the following year lowered it to 4,
which wiped out the debt, saved judg-
ments against the county, and now the
levy is 3 mills, with fine prospect OF
making it still lower, if the county
authorities do their duty.

We have received from Pinewood
several letters for and against the new
schedule proposed to be put in opera
ton on the w. 4 NJ. railroad, asking
US to use our influence in the matter.
Those against the schedule claim that
it will work an injury 70 the town and
take trade away, &c, those favoring the
schedule claim it will give the people a
better opportunity to get to Charleston
and Manning. The letters we received
were forwarded by US to the railroad
authorities for their consideration as
we have nothing whatever to do with
it. We are always glad to assist our
friends at any time but when they. dl-

Mr.. w. A. Neal, Jr., special agent
for the Census Department at Wash
ington was in town last Monday, to in
stall statician for Clarendon county,
to keep up with, and report to the gov
ernment the number of bales of cotton
ginned in the county so that there can
be an accurate estimate made of the
cotton product: this is done as a pro
lection to the farmer, so that the cotton
spectators cannot send out misleading
reports concerning the crop. Every
farmer should feel an interest in this
matter and should make it his business
to see to it that every ginner gives the
local statician the necessary inforna-
tion. Under the law, the statician
must live at or near the county seat,
ana Mr.. Neal has been fortunate in Sc
curing Mr.. J. T. Stukes for this work.
Mir. Stukes has consented to take hold
of it, and he will as soon as he gets his
commission communicate with all OF

INVITING RETRIBUTIoN.

Southern Democrats Cannot Afford to
Vote with the Tariff Robbers.
The sugar interest could defeat the
Cuban concession if the Democrats Of
the house were to stand by the insur-
gent Republicans and refuse to make
any change in the tariff. 1t looks, how
ever, as if they are willing to open the
bill for amendments only that they
may attack the tariff at various points.
This is dangerous policy, especially
for the members from the South. If
the representatives of the cotton states
insist upon attacking the tariff at va
rious points, how can they expect to
defend the iron and steel schedule by
which Alabama, Tennessee and Geor-
gia are SO largely defended? How can
they refuse to reduce or entirely re-
move the tariff on cotton goods as be-
ing an unnecessary protection for
country where the raw material is
grown and where we are experts in
machinery? To glance for a moment
at our great and growing cotton in
dustry must convince every Southern
congressman that he is inviting peril
Gus retribution when he attacks Sched-
ules in which this section is either not
concerned or is greatly interested.
In the cotton industry the number of
workers employed has increased 1874
per cent while wages have increased
BIB per cent. This is explained by
the expansion of the industry in the
South and the comparatively low rates
of wages prevailing here. Details are
as follows:

If the census had been taken this
year instead of in 1900. the returns
would undoubtedly have been still bet
ter, as trade conditions have improved
materially during the past fifteen
months.
Now, if Southern Democrats attack
certain schedules, in which they are
not specially interested, they need not
/ be surprised to find the Republicans
retaliating in kind The mills of the
North, which turn out finer grade
of goods, can stand a large cut in the
cotton goods schedule, while it would
be simply ruinous to the South. To
reduce the cotton schedule is to dis
place from the home market, in favor
| of British and German mills, much OF
| the products of our Southern mills. 1t
| is therefore good policy for the South
ern Democrats to stand by the Louisi-
| ana sugar growers and by the cotton
| factories that are now springing up In
every direction. If an alliance is
| formed between the Democrats and
| the insurgents" let it be an honest
alliancei-New Orleans Item"

later date.
Henry Weber, who was the "little
curly-headed carpenter has many
pleasant recollections of Captain"
Grant
John Parke," says Mr.. Weber,
manned one corner of Grants cabin
at the raising That is to say, he
superintended the placing of the logs
at one of the four corners. Three 9TH
er men occupied similar positions at
the other corners. The logs were
hewed and ready, good dinner and
supper were provided, and the neigh
bors did the work In the evening
there was what was sometimes called
a 'frolic' by the country-folk of the
period; a dance and a party for the
young people. 1T is my recollection
that Captain Grant did no work on
that day. said Mr.. Parke recently. He
had planned everything and there were
no bitches, but he did not put his
hands to the work. He merely saw
that everything was in ship-shape, and
most of the day he did not even put
in an appearance. He seemed to have
had every confidence in the plans that
he had laid out Since then l have I'M
derstood more of his methods at that
simple house-raising than 1 under
stood at the time.
About a year afterward, as I was
passing the Grant eighty" 1 saw the
Captain at work in one of his little
fields. / hailed him and he nodded in
friendly way, as much as to ask me
to come over. 1 walked up to where
he was at work, bending over one of
the rows. He told me that he had a
new kind of bean that he expected to
turn out pretty well, and that he was
anxious to get the entire field planted
before a certain date. 1t was about
noon, and when the sun got just right
overhead, said:
well, Cap'n, let's go over to the
house and get something to eat
Cant do it, he said; I've got
to get these beans in, and until 1 see
my way clear to get the job finished
on time I won't eat dinner"
