Sheep IN South Carolina.

Columbia, July 30.-Some inter-
esting figures are being prepared in
regard to sheep raising in this State,
which set forth the need of dog
law and fence law, as well as the
cultivation of proper pasture lands.
These are of special interest Just
now, in view of the meat strike and
the fact that the butchers are clam
oring for South Carolina meat. The
figures show that there arc in this
State over 69,306 dogs, valued at
437,6G6. There are also 4G,132
sheep, valued at $l11,770, although
the latter figures are thought to be
somewhat exaggerated. 1t is also
shown that the average yield from
sheep in this State was about four
pounds of wool, and that the yield
from the entire State was little
over 200, 900 pounds of wool. These
figures will be widely distributed by
the State Department of Agricul-
ture and attention is called to the
money that could be made off Of the
wool industry here, as well as the
income from the sale to butchers.
Next year it is expected that this
may cut down the dogs some.

Fire at Chicago Stock Yards.

Chicago, July 30.-Fire which mo-
mentarily threatened serious proper
tions started at $50 o'clock Wednes-
day morning in the lard refinery of
Swift & Co. in the center of the
packing district at the stock yards.
Two-thirds of the structure, which
was filled with machinery and in
fiammable material, was destroyed
with an estimated loss of $15O,O00.
The cause Of the fire is not definitely
known, but it is believed to have
been due to an oyer-heated dynamo.
Prompt work by the fire department,
which had made special arrangements
for guarding the stock yards section,
kept the fire to the building in which
it originated, although for time it
was feared the flames would spread
to the whole Swift plant.

you toll that corn ?" eyes, sir"
says John. Turning to another, he
said, "Tom, you toll that oornP"
eyes, sir" 81 believe you are both
liars, 80 I'll toll it myself" A bill
providing subsidy of something
like ten millions, direct gift to the
shipping interests, passed the Senate
during the last session, and was
barely killed in House Committee by
the aid of two Republican votes.
The bill will be renewed, and so sure
as Republican administration is
elected will pass both houses.
In closing let me summarize what
we stand for and upon what we hope
to win in the next election. We
stand for moderate tariff that will
build up commercial interests al
home, destroy trusts, and produce
only so much revenue as is necessary
for an economical adminisL, alton of
the government, as against a high
tariff that fostelS trusts and extrava-
giant administration of government.
We stand for honesty in office as
against corruption that has arisen as
a stencil in the nostrils of the Ameri-
can people.
We would release the Philippines,
holding over them protectorate rights
and claim for such amounts as they
justly owe us, thereby putting an
end to further expenditures as
against an extravagant policy of con-
tinuous administration there, entail
ing the cost of additional hundreds
of millions, and bringing US no nearer
a solution of the problem. We are
for reform complete and entire, not
such as the old time-serving minister
recommended to his rich and way
ward parishioners when he said
"Brethren, you must repent little,
as it were, be converted in a mea-
sure, or you will be damned to some
extent"
Our government under Republican
rule is fast drifting into that condi-
tion which invariably marks the
decadence of republican forms of
government. We arc building up an
aristocracy of wealth who know no
limits in their demands, who even
now hold the destinies of the Repub
lican party in their hand and whose
arrogance and presumption dictates
to the President himself. When So
called popular government is based
upon DEGREES issued from the bank
vault instead of the ballot box labor
will be robbed and degraded and
liberty itself trampled under foot.
Such has been the history of other
republics that exist now only in his
tory; such is the trend of events
with us.

Big Texas Cotton Crop is Indicated.

Dallas, Texas, July 30.-The Gal
veston-Dallas News publishes reports
from five hundred correspondents
from Texas and Indian Territory,
detailing the condition of the cotton
crop. These reports are of average
date July %, and comparisons are
made with conditions at the same
time last year. The summary shows
the average condition in Texas to be
9.75 per cent better than year ago.
The acreage, as previously reported,
is 9.32 per cent larger. The crop is
from one to six weeks earlier than
last year, averaging three weeks
earlier. The fruitage is generally
exceptionally heavy.

Efforts to Arrest the Lynchers.

Solicitor Hildebrand, of Orange
burg, is to be commended for his
determination to find the Eutawville
lynchers. He is making earnest eff
forts to place the responsibility for
that butchery, and he is sustained by
the Governor and the local officers
of the law. There appears to have
been no excuse for the lynching.
The man had been arrested for a
minor offense and in default of the
payment of fine of $5 he was put in
the guard house. During the night,
before his friends could arrange for
the payment of the fine, the door of
the guard house was broken in, the
prisoner tied and carried off, horri-
bly, mutilated, slain and his body
thrown in The river.
The Governor promptly took the
matter up, and is determined to fer
ret out the crime if possible. Lynch
ings almost as horrible have taken
place in the State in the past and
all efforts to fix the responsibility
failed, and we have little hope of
any one being convicted for this
recent crime. The victim was a
negro and that means much. White
men will not testify against each
other when negro is lynched.
There is an unrighteouS sentiment
abroad that white men ought not to
be convicted for killing negroes.
Where it is case of a white man
against negro, whether a killing or
some minor offense, it is almost i'm
possible to secure the conviction of
the white man, if he has friends and
money.
We wish Solicitor Hildebrand
much success in his efforts to punish
the offenders in this case. We are
glad to see that the daily newspapers,
the State and the News and Courier,
have spoken out in no uncertain
terms in this case, have condemned
this high crime, and they are doing
everything in their power to sustain
the officers of the law in their efforts
to find and convict these murderers.
There is some hope of the creation
of healthy public sentiment as long
as these influential and leading Jour
mails express themselves so vigorously
on the subject of lawlessness and
such crimes as the Eutawville butch
cry. 1t is encouraging also to note
that the best people of the commu-
nifty have pledged themselves to fur
ther the efforts of the Solicitor
Baptist Courier.
