RECORD SMASHED
ORE SHIPMENTS FOR MONTH GREAT
EsTIN HISTORY OF DISTRICT.
BEST PREVIOUS RECORD IS BROKEN
SHIPMENTS FOR TIE YEAR SHOW A
GAIN OF sixTy-EioHT PER CENT

During the month of
December just closed, the
ore shipments from the
Idaho Springs depot were
317 carloads, or over E, 900
tons of smelling ore and
concentrates, making the
output for the camp dur
ing the month a little over
200 tons every day. This
is the largest month in
the history of the district.
the month of October be-
ing the best previous
month when $50 carloads
were sent out, and the
present record beats that
month by nearly twenty
four per cent.
The shipments of ore
during the year 1904 were
2,l+8 carloads, which is a
gain of sixty-eight- per
cent. over the ore ship
ments of the year 1908.
The ore received for
treatment at the local
mills during the year 1904
was just double that of
the previous year.
The coming year will show almost
double the shipments of this year if the
present indications may be relied upon,
and the present freight and smeiter
rates remain in force. One thing in
particular which will make this possible
is the completion of the concentrating
section to the Newton annex mill.
This mill alone will handle 100 tons
every twenty-fsur hours, which will
produce better than two carloads every
two shifts. As all of the ore handled
will be hauled ~ the railway it will no,
be necessary to depend upon the team
sters.

The County to County Canvass.

Columbia correspondence OF the
News and Courier: There seems to be
some misapprehension as to the action
of the Democratic executive commit
tee in reference to the county to coun-
ty canvass. The rules Of the party
have not been changed, but the COM
mittee simply expressed an opinion that
for those candidates who have no oppo-
sition a county to county canvass was
not necessary and ought not to be made
compulsory. The sub b-committee ap-
pointed will make out the regular
county to county itinerary, and 1t Will
be a question of personal choice Wheth-
er unoppoSed candidates will attend
them. So far the only state office Tor
which there will be a contest Is that
of railroad commissioner, and as there
are some five or six candidates for that,
they will be sure to attend every cam
paign meeting, and as many extra ones
as they can, or that may be arranged
for. Candidates for other state offices
are not likely to attend all the cam
paign meetings, but only a few. AS
there are no political issues before the
people the campaign meetings Will
probably be only slimly attended, and
if the executive committee had posi-
lively decided to do away with them,
except to have one or more In each
congressional district, such action
would doubtless have met with the
approval Of the people.

over for either side has already become
apparent. Both sides have shown in
domitable' courage and stubbornness,
and from what has taken place so far
it looks as if some of the future battles
are to be characterized by slaughter
and bloodshed the like Of which has
not been recorded since the terrible
hand to hand conflicts of ancient times
Under the peculiar circumstances, 1t
appears that Japan has decided ad-
vantage. 1t Is a physical impossibility
for Russia to get sufficient number
of men to the theatre of war over sew
eral thousand miles Of distance and
by means Of a single railroad. This
fact seems to simplify the situation In
so far as the Japanese are concerned
and to remove the otherwise unequal
conditions. With the Russian forces
already at the front once effectually
disposed of, the problem Of taking care
of additional forces will be compar-
atively small one.
But as suggested, 1t seems that unus-
ual sacrifice of life, especially on the
part Of the Japs. is to be the principal
feature Of the war. Ordinarily the
mere matter of victory is not the
principal consideration. Modern war.
riors have: generally been accustomed
to consider first the probable cost ir
human life, and where it appeared thai
this would be too great to justify the
objects in view, caution has prevailed
With the Japs; however, it seems thai
they consider victory the one thing es.
sential and up. to this time they have
been showing no disposition to count
the costs.
AS we see the situation, unless new
and unforeseen complications arise, II
is not now so much a question as be-
tween Russia and Japan as between
Japan and the Russian forces already
in Manchuria and If this be the case
there is every reason why the japanese
should finally be- successful.

THERE are special efforts now max
ing to get Italians to come to South
Carolina. Some Italians may be very
desirable people; but large proper
tion of them are not. Witnesses some
of the doings of the Malta in New Or
leans and elsewhere. And see how
gang of them attacked a man and his
wife in New York on Monday simply
because they were riding in an auto
mobile-the outcome of an anarchistiC
spirit against wealth. Many Italians
are lawless and Vindictive. South Car
olina does not need many "dagos. -
Newberry Observer.
Without making any pretense to any
thorough information on the subject
we beg to suggest that it will be very
well to secure as many Italian immi-
grants as We can. There are no doubt
criminals among these people as there
are among all others; but somehow
we have very little fear Of any man
who comes to this country for the
purpose of making an honest living
especially by means of agriculture
We are not likely to get Italian immi-
grants in number that will put
them beyond our control, and so long
as we can control them we can very
we'll afford to be responsible for their
behavior Let us not convict any OF
the immigrants we are trying TO get
until after we have given them a
trial.

UNIONS NEW CHURCH.

The handsome new church building
recently completed by the Union con-
gregation, four miles north of York
vile, was dedicated last Sunday with
appropriate ceremonies, and the occa-
sion was one Of unusual interest and
satisfaction to the good Baptists not
only of the immediate community, but
Of the country surrounding.
There was a large crowd in attend
ance, the Union congregation turning
out en- masse and visitors coming from
all points of the compass for a dis
tance Of fifteen or twenty miles. Long
before the hour for the beginning or
the services the building was crowded
to its fullest capacity and people who
arrived later surrounded the church
with their vehicles and took part In
the services as best they could from
the outside.
The dedicatory sermon was preached

ETA JANE, May 30.-A very large
congregation met at Elbethel church
yesterday to hear Rev. A. A. James
preach a sermon to the old soldiers.
Mr.. James was chaplain Of the 18th
S. C. regiment and served In that COM
mand throughout the war. He IS now
young apparently. His mind Is still
active. He can preach two sermons
a day and he did so yesterday, besides
riding about twenty-five miles.
Quite a number OF exfConfederates
were out to see and hear him and the
day was one of pleasant memories to
both young and old. He met many OF
his friends and comrades whom he
had not seen in a long time.
For his morning sermon he chose
this text: "Wheresoever this gospel
shall be preached In the whole world,
there shall also this, that this woman
hath DONE be told for memorial OF
her'-Matt. XVI, IS, and in the after
noon his text was: IF we know these
things, happy are ye If ye do them

Mr James is a native Of York coun-
ty,. but has beer living In Union and
Spartanburg counties since his enter
ing the ministry over fifty years ago.

NEED FOR SANITATION.

So nearly is the town Of YorkYille
without any sanitary arrangements
whatever, that the most careful inves-
tigation would fail to discover suf-
ficient official attention to this subject
to warrant even a casual mention.
AS far back as the oldest inhabitant
can recall, probably, there have inter-
mittently been more or less feeble
efforts to secure to this subject the
attention its Importance deserves; but
with the exception Of the abortive at
tempt to inaugurate the dry box system
some few years ago, there has never
been any practical evidence that a
considerable number Of the people ap-
preciate the seriousness Of the issues
involved.
There has been more or less .alk
from time to time about the advisable
ity Of inaugurating a sewerage system;
but this idea does not appeal very
strongly to a majority of the people
who would consider the situation In
connection with practical require
ments. A sewerage system that would
cover the town thoroughly would in
volve an expenditure far beyond the
ability Of the town to meet, and no
skeleton system that could be secured
within the limits Of twenty or twenty
five thousand dollars could be relied
upon to carry off more than from one
third to one-half Of the filth and
waste that Is to be disposed Of.
The dry box system inaugurated
few years ago was along the right line
in purpose; but defective in the matter
of the machinery that was provided for
its operation. The mistake was made
in trying to consider as private mat
ter that which is essentially public,
and in seeking to make individuals
contribute in the prosecution OF
work that can be accomplished only by
means of taxation. This dry box sys-
tenn, therefore, was discarded not be-
cause it was deemed unnecessary or
inadequate; but because of the obvious
mistake in the principle upon which 1t
was sought to secure its maintenance.
But because mistakes have been
made and difficulties encountered, Is
certainly no good excuse for the aban,
donment of such an important matter
as this. The thing vitality concerns
the welfare of the entire community,
