REQUIRES A, wide stretch Of The
Imagination says the Spartan
burg Herald, to think that the
present generation of Ameri,
cans with their desire for war,
their ambition for world power,
their Ind grabbing prcclivltles
and their allaround jiugoism
descended from the sturdy Puri-
uans, who, having landed upon
Plymouth Rock, set about the
task Of building up in this
country a government that
would offer the largest degree
of individ ual lib-rty-an asylum
Of tie oppressed Of all nations.
When these speakers pointed t.,
ancient Rome as a horrible tex-
ample of the evil of immoderate
passion for empire and when
they pointed out that this thirst
ing for new worlds to conquer
was tue cause of the downfall
Of Rome they, quoted history
correctly. The mention Of these
chapters from Roman history,
however, is out of place alta New
England dinner except to show
the dangerous tendency Of mod
ern craftsmanship, te forget the
modest simplicity, the unselfish
devotion to principle and pure
patriotism of the Pilgrims. If
the speakers had pointed out
that themodern American spirit
delights in war for conquests,
and that the favorite politicians
of this age are never so honored
as when "asserting our nation
allity" by force Of arms, they
might have impressed upon the
coutry at large that we are fast
following in the footsteps of
those Roman rulers who con-
tinued in power for a hundred
years after the republic was
dead. The examples drawn from
Rome and other military en-
pires show the superiority of the
principles and policies of the
forefathers who shape this
government and those who have
maintained it along lines dia-
metrically opposed to a "nlli-
.tary empire for more than a
hundred years, but the lesson is
farfetched when drawn by those
who seek to justify ':incorporat

i Mine Disaster.

From 13 to II miners are thought
to have lost their lives as the result OF
a cave-in at the bottom OF The old
shaft at the Negaunee mine Thursday.
The names Of the dead so far as known
are: William Williams, married.:
John Sullivan. single; John PaScoe,
single: John Pearce, married; Jacob
Aunlalla, married: (Hunlall's body has
been recovered). Dominic HaSso, an
Italian, was rescued alive. His story
is as follows:
I'VE were sitting around the pump
at the bottom of the shaft when.
without any warning. thousands Of
tons Of ore came down. remembered
10 more until I heard the sound Of
picks and sh0yels in the hands of res
cuers, and their shouts. When they
found me was in a drift 15 feet from
the place where ! had been sitting.
Hundreds Of men are at the mine
eager to help in the work Of rescue,
but it is thought the other bodies can
not be found within 24 hours. The
Negaunee mine is considered one Of
the most unlucky properties in the
Lake Superior district. Much trouble
has resulted in sinking and drifting
from surplus water and quicksands.
1t was at This mine that Sl,0O0.0OO
was recently expended to sink a shaft
to the ledge.

Ee-s Is IadapenIsrce,

Speaking Of the independent Orders
Of This and That. the NeWberry Oh
server says: the m1st independent
order that is known in this town Or
county is the independent Order of
Street Loafers-an order whose cardi-
nal principal and consistent practice
is to live without work. They live
scm2how or other. OF course they
live by the work Of somebody else.
Some OF them live BY picking up things
in stores or wherever they can find
articles OF value. There are scores Of
such. Just watch the sunny side of
any street corner these fine slnshiny
days and see them stand and talk and
laugh by the hour. while honest men,
are working for living. There
ought to be some way 70 make these
fellows work OF hustle them out Of
town. LOaferS are = menace to any
community. What is true in this
respect Of Newberry is true Of every
other town in the State. What is
needed is a rigid enforcement Of the
vagrant laws by the mayors Of our
different towns.

the streets of Clinton few days ago
with bis beard in ali its glory and was
the centre of marked attention to the
many who saw him. When his beard

The Rural Free D.:liVe.y

The rural free delivery of mail
has grown remarkably in the
past few wears. According to
the report of the postmaster
general at the beginning of the
fiscal year, 1899, there were less
than 200 routes in operation
There are now 5000, while ap-
plications for 6,120 more are
pending and awaiting action.
The rural population nowreceiv-
ing daily service is nearly six
million, and more than a quar-
ter of the elegible portion Of the
country is served. At the pres
ent rate of establishment the en-
tire area suited to the service
will be brought within its scope
in less than fouryears. The eN-
tension O; this service has been
phenomenal. At the beginning
of the fiscal year 1900 only 1876
routes were in operation, and at
its close they had increased to
4,30I. During the past year the
increase has been more rapid,
and by July lst. 1902, it is ex-
pected that S,60Oroutes will be
in operation
This free rural delivery was
an experiment. It was objected
that cost of the service would so
far exceed the returns, as to
make it a heavy burden, but the
actual results have shown an in
crease in the postal receipts
wherever a route is established,
and a material retrenchm9nJ
through the discontinuance Of
star routes and postofdcesc The
postmaster general declares the
service, which has within three
years wrought such a great inn
provement in the conditions in
rural life, cannot be halted-it
must 60 on until it IS completed
The postmaster-gener makes
the point that the government
can carry the mails to the farm
ers much cheaper than the farm
ers can go to the post Office, and
that it is the business of the
government to deliver the mails
as far as possible. He says:
1T is clear that if a saving
can be effected in the curtail-
ment of star routes and fourth
class Offices to the exerent Of
one. sixth Of the cost of rural de-
livery, and if the annual gain in
postal revenues shall advance
wherever it is applied from two
per cent to eight or ten per cent.
then the net outlay involved in
the complete development Of the
system will not be SO great that
it need deter congress from the
prosecution Of this enlightened
policy" The rural delivery of
mail is a great benefit and con-
venience to the people living in
the. country districts and they !
should do ali in their power to
make it a success by putting up

Terrapin for Slayes and Hogs.

ing on a paragraph in the New York
Press tc the effect that in colonial times
lessees Of slaves were obliged By law %
feed the negroes on terrapin at least
twice a week, states that this was no
studied compliment to the black men,
for in those days the finest diamond
backs were regarded as food fit only
for slaves and hogs. In feeding them

4 GooG Farm Story.

The Charleston News and Courier IS
famous for its stories Of wonderful
achievements by South Carolina farm
ers. but it has also a reputation for
reliability that causes most Of these
reports to pass at par. One Of the
latest Of the series tells OF a Mr.. ".
NJ. Goodson. a Darlington county far
mer. who cleared above all expenses
last wear S1.440 on tWO-and-a-half
acres Of tobacco. The Atlanta Jour
nal says it is mot surprised to learn
that Mr.. Goods0n'S phenomenal sue
cess with his last years tobacco patch
has caused many farmers inhiS flcini-
ty to turn their attention to tobacco
culture. It's not probable that many
Of them will make any such record as
Mr.. GoOdson did, but they can fall far
below that and still do mighty well.
There is undoubtedly much fine land
in South Carolina and parts 81 the
state are admirably adapted 10 the
production Of high-grade tobacco.
South Carolina also has some very en-
terprising farmers and erery time one
Of them makes remarkable hit the
News and Courier is likely to get wind
of it and make it famous. \ prOmin-
ent newspaper can do much to encor-
age the development of the state in
which it is published and it can hard
" find better business than is open to
it in that line"

Good advice.

The Carolina Spartan advises its
readers to begin the new year by leav-
ing Off abuse Of the weather. We
have seen protesting Christians and
even preachers in Spartanburg speak
of the weather as bad" miserable, :"
'wretched" and some OF them even
use stronger epithets. Rain and the
consequent mud are as necessary as
the sunshine and dry days. Sleet, out
hail and snow in this latitude are sent
