Wide Tire Wagons.

One Of the best ways to prevent, the
formation OF ruts and to keep earth
roads in repair is by the use Of wide
tires on all wagons carrying heavy bur
dens. In most foreign countries they
not only use the four to six inch tires
on market wagons, but on many of the
four-whael freight wagons, insaddition
to wide tires, the rear axles are made
fourteen inches longer than the front
ones, so that the hind wheels viii not
track and form ruts. Water and mar
row tires aid one another in destroying
the roads, while on the other hand wide
tires are roadmakers. They roll and
harden the surface, and every loaded
wagon becomes, in effect, road roll
er. The difference between the action
of narrow tire and a wide one is
about the same as the difference be
tween crowbar and a tamper; che
one tear up and the other packs down.
By using wide tires on heavy wagons
the cost of keeping roads in repair
would be, greatly reduced. The intro
duction in recent years of wide metal
tires which can be placed on the
wheels OF any narrow-tired vehicle at
nominal cost has removed a very
serious objection to the proposed sub
stitution Of broad tires for che narrow
ones now in use.-SoutheTn Farm

GEORGETOWN SOLID FOR ELLIOTT.
Grateful People Give Him an 0Ya-
tion---0ther Candidates Given
Courteous Attention.

Georgetown, July 2.-The senator
ial meeting held today was emphati-
cauy= Elliott day. Col. Elliott, who
has done so much for Georgetown dur
ing his fourteen years in congress,
came back and returned the talent en-
trusted to him with an hundred fold
increase and received the hearty
plaudit of we'll done'' from the citi-
zens of Georgetown. Now be comes
before them and asks to be judged by
his fidelity in the past and to be
elected to the United States senate.
The ovation accorded him by the $50
voters present has never been witness
ed before on this campaign. Col. Ell
lott was visibly affected and his speech
was nothing more than communion
of hearts which words cannot ade-
quately express.
It was strange coincidence that all
the appropriations asked for, even for
the new government building, have
been granted by the last congress.
Col. Elliott has worked untiringly for
his district and Congressman Scar
borough, upon whose shoulders his
mantle has fallen, will find it no easy
task to measure up to his predecessor.
All the other candidates were put
.on their metal and they endeavored
to let the Georgetown voters see that
there were other pebbles on the
beach. Thy we're we'll received but
given to understand that Col. Elliott
is Georegtown's choice.
There were no tits betw cen Messrs.
Evans and Latimer, but it is under
stood the matter has by no means beep
dropped. 1t is intimated that both
men have reserve supply of fireworks
which Will be used at a more conven-
lent season. The conditions in
Georgetown are. peculiar. The county
has never beensredeemed entirely from
negro rule. A compromise arrange
ment was made several years ago to
divide the Offices with the negroes.
This year the white people have deter
mined to make fair and square fight
for. a white Democratic ticket at the
general election in November. Hence
while the rest of the State is squab-
bling over choice between candi-
dates these people viii quietly select
their men and do battle at the general
election. The entire State will bid
them God-speed in their fight.

PEACE IN THE PHILIPPINES.
President Roosevelt Issues Fourth
of July Proclamation Declaring
Peace and Abolishing Military
Rule.

Washington. July 3.-The President
has formally declared the restoration
of peace in the Philippine acrhipela-
go, has placed the islands under COM
plete civil control and has extended
general amnesty to the Filipinos who
have been in rebellion. aThese three
things, marking one of the most i'm
portant chapters in Philippine his
tory, were accomplished through the
issue of three separate orders and
proclamations, one by the president
over his own signature, extending
amnesty: one through Secretary Root
by the presidents order, relieving
Gen Chaffee from his duties as mill
tary governor, and a third which
takes the shape of a general order, ad-
dressed to the entire army of the Uni
ted States, in which Secretary Root
takes occasion to express the presi-
dents high appreciation of the work
it has accomplished, both in Cuba
and in the Philippines.

The elMpAIGNERs' FOURTH.
Senatorial Candidates at King
; stree---state Office Seekers
at SaIuda.

Kingstree, July 1.-The glorious
Fourth was celebrated in Williams
burg county today by meeting of the
Senatorial campaign party at this,
the county, seat. About four hundred
of the loyal voters came from every
section Of the county to hear the
oratorical contest. When time was
called by the county chairman, DR..
A. H. Williams, all the candidates
s'toed the .line'' except Congressman
A. G. Latimer,, who left the party at
Georgetown to go to Belton, to attend
to an important business matter. This
statement was made in his behalf by
Mr.. Hemphill. It is not probable that
he will attend the Monck's Corner
meeting either, but has promised to
reioin the party at Manning.
All in all, the meeting was pleas
ant one and entirely free from discord.
Col. Johnstone got the jump on Mr..
Hemphill and had his say about ex-
pansion, Mr.. HemphilPs favorite
theme-hence he had to take the other
track, sship subsidy" whatever that
may mean!
STATE CAMPAIGN MEETING.
Saluda, S. c., July 4.-Saluda
Court House and all the region round
about rejoiced with exceeding great
Joy when State campaign day arrived.
Nearly 2,0o0 people attended the
meeting today. All of the candidates
were well received and many new
friends were made. The crowd might
properly be called nobody's crowd:
they we're certainly Indifferent Demo

tening, but no enthusiastic cheering.

five years ago the site of the present

The place of meeting was pine.

Acting County Chairman Carroll j.

ranging for the comfort and convent
ence of the candidates, in which he
was assisted by all the citizens of the
town. This was the birthplace and
home of Travis and Bowie, of Alamo
fame, and also of bloody Bill Gun
ningham. The county is thickly pop
ulated, Judging from the number of
substantial homes on the road side,
Politics naturally bubbles over in this
section. It is discussed everywhere.
Jim and "Uncle" George Tillman be-
ing frequently menti oned in these To-.
cal gatherings. Many visitors were
here from Newberry, Aiken, Edge
field, Greenwood and Saluda. The
ladies were almost as numerous as
voters and the gathering had the ap-
pearance of large picnic. The audi
ence numbered between 1,50O and
1000 persons and the interest was
great. The crowd was never quiet,
except Just at the speakers stand, mo

tention of all.

COTTON CROP Failing.
June Was an UnfavorabIe Month
on Cotton Throughout the South.

Washington, July 3.--The monthly
report of the statistician of the de-
partment of agriculture will show the
average condition of cotton on June %
to have been S4.7 as compared with
95.l on May 26, 1902; 81. l on June 25,

year average of 85.6. With the ex-
ception of North Carolina, where
there seems. to have been sli ght i'm
proVement, and Virginia, where there
is no appreciable change in cotton,
every cotton producing State shows a
decline during the month, the decline
being greatest in Texas, where it
amounts to % points, and in Louisi-

stated in each case: Virginia 3;
North Carolina 6; South Carolina and
Florida 9; Georgia and Arkansas 7,
Tennessee l2; Oklahoma 2 and Mis-
souri, 10. On the other hand it falls
below the ten year average by 2 points
in Louisiana and Indian Territory; 1
point in Alabama and 13 points IN
Texas.
This report is made up to June %
and no changes subsequent to that
date have been taken into account.
The departments statistical agent for
Texas, however, telegraphed last
night that the recent rains in that
State have been Of little or no benefit
to the crop and that further deteri-
grafton may be looked for unless there
is more rain by July 10.

The Fourth in Manila.

Manila, July President Roose-
velt's amnesty proclamation was read
at noon today in English and Spanish,
from a hag-decked stand on the
Luneta, after parade of 5000 Ameri-
cans and Filipinos.
Arthur Ferguson, secretary to Gov.
Taft, read the proclamation in the
presence of a small gathering, the
heat having dispersed the crowd
when the parade ended. The prison
ers freed by the proclamation, esti-
mated to number 800, we're released
without ceremony.
Many military prisoners lad pre-
viously been freed. Aguinaldo re-
mained in the house which has shell
tered him since his captivity. He is
expected to visit friends briefly and
then depart on a trip. His destination
is not announced.
The exiles on the island of Guam
are expected to return here on spe-
cial steamer.
The celebration was typically,
American, even to the fire crackers.
Acting Governor Wright and Gen.

Capt. Crossfeld delivered an oration.

The cowhide is mightier than the
law, according to the recent ruling of
a Virginia Judge who, after acquit-
ting an aged minister brought before
him on the charge of contempt OF
court, left the bench and proceeded to
deal out with lis own hand the thirty
and nine. The offense of which the
minister stood accused was the publ
cation of an editorial in which he
questioned the Judges motives in
permitting the sale of liquor in pro-

The Newberry Bar.

In regard to matter, the two sides
of which have been presented on the
stump in many counties by the candi-
dates for the Office of attorney general,
the following from the Newberry
Herald and News will be of interest
to you:
1T will be remembered that during
the early part of this year the New
berry Bar association asked for a spe-
cial term of the court of common pleas
ia order to clear crowded docket.
The petition was granted and Hon. ".
W F. Stevenson, then speaker Of the
house of representatives, was appoint
ed Judge. Some time after this the
bar asked that the order granting the
special term be annGlled, which was
done.
Mr.. Stevenson is now in the race
for attorney general, and on the stump
Mr. U. x. Gunter, his opponent, has
made the assertion that the Newberry
bar asked that the special term not be
held because Mr. Stevenson, the judge
appointed, was corporation lawyer,
being attorney for the Seaboard Air
Line railway.
"The Newberry bar held a meeting
yesterday morning, at which time a
statement was gotten up giving the
reasons which prompted them in ask
ing for the special term, and then for
its withdrawal. This report will be
sent Mr. Stevenson and Mr.. Gunter.
9sThe report states that even before
the order was issued granting the spe-
cial term movement was on foot to
have this extra term called off for the
reason it would not suit many mem
bers of the bar. As soon as the order
was made known a meeting was held
on March 25th for the purpose Of con-
sidering the advisability of asking that
the order be annulled. In this meet
ing the reasons advanced were, first
inconvenience to the bar, and that
the agricultural conditions had so
changed as seriously to affect the
convenience of jurors.
The objection against Mr.. Stevenson
on account of his connection with the
railroad was suggested by only three
members of the bar, representing two
firms. Even these expressed the ut
most confidence in his personal abil-
ity and integrity. They stated that
there were some cases against the Sea
board Air Line and other railways
which they did not wish Mr.. Steven
son to try But in the whole decision
there was declaimer of any intention
to reflect upon the character of Mr..
Stevenson as a man or his ability as a
laWyer''.
