WANTS MONEY FOR RECORD

District Assessor Darneille today sub
mitted to the District Commissioners his
estimates for the administration of the
affairs of his office during the fiscal year
I9O5-19O6. The Assessor asks for $4,000
more than has been appropriated by
Congress for the fiscal year I904-19O5.
To Compile Records.
In requesting the increases, which are
under the real estate tax board and the
personal tax board. Mr.. Darneille says:
81 am compelled to request an APP
preparation OF $500 for the purpose Of
compiling the triennial real estate as
sessment. which must be done during
the fiscal year 1906. This is a work of
great magnitude. and it is impossible for
the regular force to perform it during
office hours. Heretofore. from 1900 10
S, 900 has been appropriated for this
purpose, but in view OF the improved
condition of our records / think by
straining point we may be able TO get
through with $500"
For an Appraiser.
In asking for 5000 additional for an
appraiser Of personal property. the AS

NEWBERRY, s. c, July 25.-Not since
the days Of Walt Whitman, the Union
county preacher, who canvassed this
State for the gOvernorship on a bicycle,
has such an unusual character appeared
as a candidate as Osborne Wells, the
self-styled "One-Eyed , Horse" who
seeks the office Of subsupervisor of New
berry county.
Mr.. Wells. who Is personally acquaint-
ed with every man, white and black, in
Newberry county, is confident that he IS
going 70 triumph at the coming pri-
maries. Whenever he IS not making
speeches he is busy writing poetry to
prove that he and he only is the proper
person TO fill the position. which hap
pens to be coveted by about a dozen of
Newberry's politically stung citizens.
Good Financier.
In announcing himself several days
ago Mr.. Wells scattered broadcast over
this county a circular, in which after
setting forth his qualifications az a f.
nancier, he says:
Il wish TO state that as no one can
come before the people, from President
down. without having some accusation
brought against him, and as the office
Of subsupervisoT should be conducted on
strictly business principles. I make a
strictly business proposition. which is as
follows: That If any person can show
where I have ever lost any one a cent
since I have resided in this county, by
neglect, mismanagement, or niscalcu-
lation, while attending TO their business,
l will give that person a $40 bill This
proposition stands good until after the
primary election"
The Younger Element.
A few days later a second circular
came out. II was intended to catch the
vote Of the younger element, and be
sides asking for their suffrage, gave
them a lot of wholesome advice, and II
is admitted, even by Mr.. Wells Oppo-
neuts- that there are some folk in the
country who can afford to heed the adj
vice that is contained in a stanza print
ed bedside Shakespeare lines dealing
with the comparative results of losing
good name and pocketbOok by theft

Frying Meats in Demand.

Notably evident on the market today
was the marked jump in the price of
pork chops a local dealer said he had
never had such a rush for pork chops
at this season as occurred this morn
ing. From 10 cents a pound on Satur-
day butchers were selling them from the
very start at 16 today, and they were
kept busy handing them out to the Gus
toners.
It vas the same way with other fry
ing meats. What are known as coarse
meats. however, such as corned beef,
were not popular. A local dealer said.
I'VE are not profiting a bit by this
increased demand for frying meats We
are Obliged 10 sell them at about the
same price, while the wholesalers are
demanding more for bacon and ham
Now, the coarse meats, like cOrned beef
are a real drug on the market. No
body seems to want them, probably be-
cause they can't be used IN the frying
pans.

that meat prices were steady" Never

alike. there was evident a decided IN

feel as much concerned over the strike
as anybody, on account Of the diminish
ed demand.
1t was a black Monday in every re-
Spect, opening another week in which
the price of meat from day to day is
likely 10 be as uncertain as the will-o'-
the-wisp. with one fact certain, that it
is not going 10 drop.

THE HOUSE MINORITY.

There is one important fact IN connection
with the session Of Congress just closed
that cannot be overlooked, and this lie the
bearing Of the Democratic minority OF the
House. Thanks to the untirlng Industry,
the parliamentary skill, and the honest zeal
Of their leader, John Sharp Williams, the
Democrats OF the House for the first time in
q number Of years rose TO the height Of the
political situation. But with all his energy
the leader could have accomplished little or
nothing toward maintaining the strength OF
the opposition had he not be,n most hearth.

results Of this harmonious Aetlon, the Dem
ocrats are inspired with fresh vigor and con.
fdence on the threshold OF the new strug

government.
In session brought TO q premature close,
with many important measures unconsider-
ed, the net result of general legislation lie null
save the passage OF the regular appropria
ton bills, and these are swollen beyond ell
former precedent Of Republican extrava.
gance. In the abandonment OF public duty,
even the legislation for the Panama Canal
is left to the arbitrary will aud pleasure Of
the President. For the barrenness Of the
session the Democratic minority of the
House bear no share Of the responsibility.
On the contrary, 1t Is chiefly due TO their
vigilance under the inspiration OF their able
leader that the Republican majority In Con.
gress precipitately closed the session with
their schemes suspended in the air. There
were all the old bills, and some new ones, Tor
steamship subsidy, restraint OF immigration,
modification OF the land laws, Transports
ton TO the Philippines and kindred objects.
Some have passed one House and some the
other, to hang up till the short session Of
Congress, when the Republican majority
will be relieved 10 large degree OF the dread
of public opinion.
Such but partially describes the condition
In which the parties enter the presidential
