Full Of Years and Honors.
Old Uncle JEFF Starnes is dead. He
passed away at his humble home on
the plantation Of Mr.. G. r. Wallace,
four miles northeast Of Yorkville last
Saturday as the elimination of the In
firmities Of old age. He was eighty
one years Of age. Everybody who lives
In the neighborhood for radius OF
several miles around knew Uncle Jeff.
He was there when they came-all but
a very few of them, and thew could
not help but know him. It was not
because he made himself noisy, or any
thing like that, that he was SO well
known. It was because Of the life he
lived-so humble, and at the same time
80 faithful and noble. He was slave
of the late Robert Starnes, and WIS :
raised in accordance with the precepts
Of Christianity. He was quite an in
telligent old fellow, Uncle JEFF was, and
he was a hard worker. He lived very
comfortably all of his life; but never
owned any land. He did not seem to
care to. It was his idea to be as help
full and as useful as he could to 9TH
ers, both white and black, and his
neiphbors say that he stood as high
| among those. Of his own race as he did
among the whites. He leaves children,
grandchildren and great grandchilT
dren and 1t is claimed that not one Of
his blood has ever figured In a court o.
justice or on the chaingang. All are
steady, faithful workers, still living in
the neighborhood where they were
born and likely to continue there until
they die. Only an humble old negro
was Uncle JEFF; but 1t must be admit
ted, that his long life was G. success.
The Winthrop Trustee Middle.
| August Kohn's letter Of Jan. %, to
News and Courier: The vacancy on
the Winthrop board that was lost in
the shuttle seems to have been that Of
Senator B. R. Tillman. There is noth-
ing official here to show that It was
Senator Tillman's term that has expir-
ed to which DR.. Crawford was elected,
but members Of the board and others
say that 1t is. Lieutenant Governor
Sloan has received telegram from DR.,
Crawford, in which he states that In
view Of his being elected under a mis-
apprehension and because Of the ger-
vices Of Senator Tillman to Winthrop
he must decline the honor Of the elec-
ton. In other words, DR.. Crawford
would be delighted to be on the board.
but he will not take Senator Tillman's
place or that Of any other trustee un-
der circumstances such as those Of last
night, when a trustee was elected with
out any one knowing whose place was
being filled. DR.. Crawford will havs to
send his formal declination to Governor
Hayward and not to President Sloan,
and then Governor Hayward will duly
notify the general assembly Of the ex-
listence Of a vacancy, and then anotn-
er joint assembly will be convened and
In all probability Senator Tillman's
name will be the only name presented
and he will be reelected. There has
been a great deal Of talk by members
about the matter. There have been no
new developments in the mistake that
occurred on the Clemson college board,
and the legislation Of one Of the incum-
bent trustees out Of Office, without
knowing that he was being dropped, or
who was being left of of the board.

oh. how 1t did snow, and all of the
people now in Waterloo, who lived here
at that time will remember the snow

That proved to be the opening Of
an old time winter. such as they used
to have before the weather bureau

as age goes in the sisterhood Of COM

reputation on the market exchange as

it until spring and gather 1t out of the

THE PROPER ARRANGEMENT OF CAUSES

The reasons given by Congressma a
ing republican victory of Tuesday to
"rhc political creed Of Abraham Lin
coin in actual practice and the avowal
Of President Roosevelt to carry out
the policies of Mckinley together with
his personal popularity" are all valid
tho many republicans and most demo-
Gratis who voted for Roosevelt will diff
fer from Mr.. Cousins as to the ar
rangement Of his excellent reasons, and
give Mr. Roosevelt's personal popu-
larity first place. They Will also add
the public approval of Roosevelts own
policy of administration to his unbrok-
en- pledge to carry out that OF the
lamented Mckinley. Instead OF plac-
ing Rooseveltism last in the category
OF causes that contributed to the mag
nificent completeness of republican
success they would place 1t first and
most potent. The republican party
would have won with weaker man
this year. That 1t swept every nor
thern state triumphantly; that its ma
jorities were swelled by OBJECTIONS
from all other parties is public ex-
preston Of trust in Roosevelt and ap-
prevail of his executive career. There
is no adulation In affirming SO much
There is injustice in saying less.
Theodore Roosevelt won his hearing
before the American people by his
promise to carry out McKinley's poll
cies. They took the untried success
or to a great president on trial. None
but great man could have followed
Mckinley and made good. He won the
love and confidence of the people for
himself, by his own manliness, cour-
age and wisdom. There has never
been a president of the United States
better liked or more trusted by the
commonalty Thousands of demo-
Gratis to whom the protective policy vs.
an abomination, other thousands to
whom the free coinage of silver is still
a living issue, forgot for time their
opposition to republicanism to vote for
Roosevelt, the honest and fearless man.
Beyond all the speeches of spellbinders
and even beyond "the political creed of
Abraham Lincoln in actual practice
the splendid swing of doubtful and
democratic states into line for Roose-
welt must be attributed to faith In his
political manhood as an executor of
law 1t is so entirely self evident that
it can not be minimized. The popular
call was insistent for Roosevelt as the
nominee. The popular vote was for
for president.

cuoosING ElFcTIoN ROARDs.

Much we'll grounded complaint Is
being heard from all over the country
of the delay of elections returns
caused by comparatively incompetent
election boards. 1t is alleged. and with
justice, that too many clerks and judi
ges of election are appointed thru
favor and without consideration of
actual fitness. Old men, many of them
unused to clerical work and in some
cases too illiterate to be useful MEM
bers Of counting board are given
places because they desire the minor
distinction or need the money such APP
pointments bring Consequently the
tiently their turn to vote while the
polls are open and for returns after the
polls are closed, while old men, wise
enough for counselors, but unfit for
long hours and active eXertion dodder
over the count and stretch the work
Of one day into two or even three. a
trio of bank clerks or accountants
would count the vote while some cleo
ton boards We're getting on their spec
tacles.
1t is a matter that needs amendment.
1t is not sufficient that a member OF
the board should be n good partisan
and an honest man. He should be At
ted by strength and training for the
work he is to do. There is no good
reason why the appointment of mem
bers OF election boards should not be
made business proposition and the
incumbents selected for their capacity
and dexterity, not because they want
the places or need the money. Wait
ing for returns is nervous work and
paying double for an ordinary service
is uselessly expensive. Let us have
election clerks selected as other clerks
are chosen because they are able to do
the work quickly and accurately.

Movable FEEDING Rack for Fodder.

j. X. Nun in Wallaces Farmer.1
l notice In your issue of October DIST
that a subscriber would like to have
someone suggest a plan on how to
build a good, serviceable feed rack
that could be moved about for feeding
cane and corn fodder. 1t is rather a
difficult matter to build one for this
purpose that can be moved convenient
ly However, l would like to suggest
a plan.
Set in line three-inch round fence
posts eighteen inches apart and one
foot In the ground. then set a second
row in parallel to the first, leaving n
space Of five feet. Nail on cross pieces
two feet from the ground and put in
floor and put an eight-inch plank
along both sides on the inside of the
posts. Nail the plank fast and you
have a complete feed trough to feed
grain If you wish. Inch boards can
be used for the floor as the stocks can
not get in to break thru If the ends
are closed by setting posts eighteen
inches apart. This makes the best
fodder rack l ever saw. as the stock
can reach in between the posts and
feed quietly; they can not push along
and throw the fodder out. 1t will save
fodder enough in short time to pay
for the rack; not only that, but the
stock will do better This rack can
be built in sections OF sixteen to thirty
two feet so they can be raised as the
stalks accumulate. thus keeping 1t at
the proper height. 1t is not expensive
and always gives satisfaction. 1t car
be built without setting in the groun1
if properly braoed so it can be moved
about, but is not SO durable in this
way.

SOME DRINK FIGURES.

Some figures of the consumption OF
the principal alcoholic beverages in
leading European countries as present.
ed in table Of the monthly summary
of commerce and finance published by
the department of commerce and labor
will furnish matter for temperance
commentators.
The figures for spirits in the case sof
European countries include only those
quantities which are used In the form
of beverages, the quantities used in the
arts and manufactures being uniformly
excluded There are no exact data on
the subject in the United States, as all
the spirits entering domestic, including
industrial consumption, are taxed at a
uniform rate. Authoritative estimates
place the quantity used In the arts and
manufactures in this country at about
100000, SO that in order to make the
American and European figures COM
parable these 100000 gallons should
be deducted from the total consump-
ton of spirits in the United States, as
officially stated.
France shows the heaviest consump-
ton of the most concentrated bever-
age, spirits, viz, 2.51 gallons per in
habitant, the other countries following
in the order of their per capita con-
sumption of spirits: Sweden, 2.13 gall
Ions; Germany, Eli gallons; Belgium,
LAP gallons; United Kingdom, 1873 gall
Ions: United States, 1873 gallons; Rus
STA, 1923 gallons; and lastly Italy with
only 0.34 gallon. The per capita con-
sumption of spirits in the United Stat
es, figured on the basis of a total con-
sumption Of 107,252,14S proof gallons
is 1913 proof gallons, placing this coun-
try we'll nigh the end Of the list of
spirit drinking countries.
The figures Of per capita beer con-
sumption reveal the fact that Belgium
stands at the head of the nations in
the matter of per capita consumption
of beer. its per capita consumption be-
ing $3.50 gallons. Second in order is
the United Kingdom with 35.42 gall
Ions. while Germany, which shows the
largest absolute figures Of consumption,
in the matter of per capita consump-
ton takes third place with 30.77 gal
Ions. The United States follows with
1904 gallons, Sweden and France with
$50 and 7.4S gallons per inhabitant,
Russia. 1.1s gallons per inhabitant,
while Italy is still lower, viz, 0.20 gall
Ion.
France shows the largest per capita
of alcoholic beverages,
viz. 1921 gallons while Belgium. owing
to it's heavy beer consumption. follows
next in order with 1888 gallons. Italy
with 661 gallons; Germany with $50
gallons, and the United Kingdom with
4.99 gallons, are the other countries
which may be said to excel in the con-
sumption Of alcoholic beverages. The

To Increase the Nations Wealth.
Professor Thomas Shaw, In American

|
Sheep Breeder.l
If only a few sheep were introduced
on every farm the increase in the ag-
gregate would be very great. In fact,
it would be enormous, Take, for In
stance, the state of Minnesota, with
it's two hundred thousand farms. II
only ten sheep We're reared annually
on each of them Minnesota would have
two million sheep, or about four times
the number now in that state. Tho
farms in Minnesota are large. They
average at least a quarter OF sec
ion. Now, on 100 acres of land, ten
sheep, with their lambs, could not
nearly consume the waste pasture
grown on such a farm. They Wou!d
scarcely begin to consume 1T at ali.
Apply this line of reasoning to other
states. Apply it to all the states, ana
it would mean that our sheep would
be more than doubled, one half OF them
being kept on pastures that had cost
nothing. This item would mean con-
siderable to our agriculture. Lit would
mean that fifty million sheep. in round
numbers, could be added TO our f1ocks
without any additional cost for food
for about eight months of the year. II
one We're to claim that the grass blades
wasted on American farms every year
were worth $100,000.O00, the statement
in the abstract would seem Incredible
but when reasoned out us above 1t only
