you are coward and liar" re-
torted Meldrum, and for a minute
there was excitement not generally
witnessed at a Democratic rally.
Continuing, Special Agent Greene
ignored Meldrum and stated that some
OF the newspaper reports on which
Mr.. Veatch bases some of his charges
with reference to irregular practices
in the public land business were faul-
ty and incorrect. He admitted that 1t
was from his report that the admins
tration had seen fit to make changes
In the Office of the former surveyor
general of the state, and that there
was In the possession of the govern
meut authorities additional evidence
that will result in the filing of other in
dictments at a subsequent time. To
Indicate whose these persons might
be or might not be, said Greene, was
inadvisable, for the reason that such
disclosure would defeat the ends of
Justice. Mr.. Greene explained that he
came to the city purely on business
mi sion, and was an accidental visitor
to the meeting; that he certainly did
not come to arouse any strife or con-
troversy.
When Green had resumed his seat
Meldrum said: "The gentleman's
are all wrong. When Sec
retary Hancock finds 1t necessary to
send a special agent TO Oregon aid in
the election of a Democratic con-
gressman, he will find that the first
district will give Mr. Hermann, the
regular Republican nominee, the larg-
est vote in the history of the district"
This concluded the somewhat
stormy scene, which was followed by
speaking by several of the legislative
and county candidates. The audience
included about 100 persons.

EQUIPPING A
COUNTRY
HOME

While many may not agree with w.
]. Bryan's political views, no one will
doubt his being an intelligent and pro-
gressive man. In the last number of
his PAPER he has this;
Mr. Bryan receives frequent inquir-
les in regard to the best manner of
providing heat, light and water for a
home in the country or in city where
modern conveniences are not at hand.
The following suggestions are given
as result of his own experience.
Heating-In his first house Mr..
Bryan tried the base-burner, and
found it an improvement over the open
fireplace or the wood or soft coal
stove( although somewhat more ex-
pensive. In his second house he
tried hot air furnace-this gave one
stove to look after instead of num-
ber, and was more economical than
it would have been to keep fires in
enough base-burners or other stoves
to heat the same number of rooms.
In his third, his present house, he
uses a hot water system which he
finds superior to either the base
burner or the hot air furnace The
heat is uniform and the temperature
can be easily controlled
Lighting-His first house was at
Jacksonville, ILL.,, and his second in
the city of Lincoln. In both of these
he used ordinary city gas. In his
present home he uses acetylene, and
finds that the light is better and the
discoloration from smoke less. In
fact, he has had no smoking whatever
from the acetylene. AS a matter of
precaution the acteylene plant is kept
in cave about a hundred feet from
the house. 1t is operated with very
little trouble The magazine holds
one hundred pounds of carbide, and
that lasts for two or three weeks. He
uses a hundred-light plant, but acety-
lene plants are made of varying ca
pacity. He has seen a three-light
plant, and they are made all the way
from that size up to a size sufficient
to light a village.
Water System-He uses the COM
pressed air water tank The tank is
in the ground below the water
in the ground below the frost line, and
the water is thus kept cool in the
summer and does not freeze in the
winter, AS the water is pumped into
the tank the air is compressed, fore
ing the water throug the house. A
windmill pumps water into the tank.
and is so geared as to work automat-
ically. The pressure is kept at about
| 45, and with a hose on each floor, the
protection against fire is ample.
While the underground tank is
usually satisfactory, ii has one dis
adyantage-in case of leak it is
more dificult to examine and repair.
Sometimes the tank is put in the
! basement, sometimes in cave large
enough TO permit an examination of
the tank.
Neither the lighting plant nor the
water system Is very expensive, and
Il is possible for the farmer to have
them. The water system especially
ought to be introduced, because of
the great convenience to the house
wife where she does her own work;
and II makes IL much easier to Sc

The cotton market was again
wild Monday, July cotton sell
ing as high as IT, and closing

market was down some 30 or 40

not passed II cents pound in
New York since 1875, when it
went to l75. 1t touched l7B in
1874; 2l8 in 1873, and 273 in

season, turned out only 1874

THE BROWNLOW BILL AND ITS
OBJECT.

There is a bill introduced in
Congress by the Hon. Walter p
Brownlow of Tennessee, and the
Hon. Jacob II Galliger, member
OF the Senate from New Hamp-
shire, appropriate 6 $24, 900, 90 on
the part of the National Govern
ment as National aid in building
wagon roads. This money is to
be apportioned among the States
according to their population, ex-
cept that no State shall receive
less than $25O,OOO.
Each State receiving National
aid from the Government must
add a like amount to the sum re-
ceived. This will, therefore,
cause the spending of $4S,000,00O
for roads and will build from
5000 to 1000 miles of splendid
road and will place in each State
from 100 to 500 miles of fine hard
road, which will not be effected
by frost or spring rains and on
which the farmer can haul the
year round. 1t will be a great
advantage to those living near it,
but it will be a far greater ad-
vantage to the whole country
because it will be wonderful
object lesson and will prove to
every one that a good, hard road
which can be used the year round,
no matter what the rains are, is a
good and desirable thing; it will
make everyone who sees this
road and uses it want more roads
just like it, and it will cause
more roads just like it to be
built.
Willie under the Brownlow
Bill the building of 5000 to 7,
600 miles of splendid road is
great ching, yet it seems to many
that the greatest advantage of
this bill is the wonderful object
lesson which 100 to 500 miles of
fine road will produce when
built in every State of the I'm
ion. From this appropriation
South Carolina would receive
1888 900.

Both branches of the General
Assembly have passed the bill
providing for biennial Sc sions
of that body instead of annual
sessions. The question will have
to be submitted to the people for
ratification. The fact that here
are only eleven states that hold
annual sessions of the legislature
is strong endorsement of that
plan, and we predict that the
people will vote for ri ennial
sessions.

those who suffered by the governors
vetoing of the general appropriation

George w. Watkins. member Of the

charge Of the southern division Of the
Ohio canal, which was cut $4,000 for
1905. says the loss will reduce the
canal to a mere ditch. The reply Is
that the state has been maintaining
the canal entirely for the benefit Of
the farmers of the adjacent territory
who ship their corn thereby.
1t has cost the state in the neigh
borhood of 2S cents q bushel for each
seasons corn crop. according to fig
ures prepared by Special Canal Com
