1t seems that the wreck Of the Og-

gence on the part of somebody. 1t is
hoped the railroad commission will
use every effort to find out just who is
responsible and see to it that they are
made to suffer. 1t was unfortunate
that it should have happened in this
section Of the South, as there are, we
are sorry to say, many enemies still

TO make capital out of this unfortu-

The only way that a consumers ice
factory could be made success in
competition with the cut-throat
opposition, such as the Peoples Ice
Factory encountered during its brief
existence would be to secure contracts
with consumers for a term of years at
a price that would give margin of
profit on the cost of manufacturing.
IN this way a consumers factory
would be made Independent Of com

There is no necessity ior planting
cotton in this country. There are
many other crops that can be grown
with less trouble and at greater profit.
If the farmers who are now securing
the country for hay and fodder would
plant enough pea vine hay for their
own use they would be better off, but
if they would plant enough to supply
the demand that is now met by car
load after carload Of Western hay
they would make money. There is a
profit in growing and selling hay at
SIS to SIS a ton.
Strawberry culture is one Of the
neglected opportunities of this sec
ton. Some of the finest berries we
have ever seen were grown right here
in Sumter and the berries mature and
are ready for shipment as early as
they do in Chadbourne district. The
season opened at Chadbourne last
Saturday with the shipment of thirty
seven cars Of 900 crates each, and on
Monday seventy-fve cars were ship
ped. Strawberries are very prohta-

quantity to ship in car load lots. We
have seen it elsewhere that the aver
age profit in the Chadbourne district
last season was $500 per acre. This
beats cotton at 10 cents a pound.

AT TEMPLE OF JUSTICE


The temple of justice presented a
busy scene this morning. In addi-
ton to large attendance in Judge
Dillards's court the county court
room was packed to oyerflowing
when the spring term convened at
1890. Those who could not get
inside the court room crowded
around the door and thronged the
first floor corridors. The fact that
the criminal docket of the county
court is called for trial the first
week of the term the opening attend
ance is always larger than any other
time during the session.
After court had been called to
order ten or twelve Jail birds, all
colored, were brought before Judge
Hawkins to have their cases disposed
of in some way. In some instances
the occupants of the mourners'
bench entered pleas of guilty to the
charges pending against them, while
others who had determined TO make
a defense, had their cases set for
trial. Several cases for violating
the local option law are to be tried
at this term, but the majority of the
offenses on the docket are for
shooting craps.
The following pleas of guilty were
accepted at the forenoon session of
the court
P. B. Pankey, drunkenness: fined
$500
James McDade. gaming; fined
$40
Charley Tate, selling to a minor;
fined s25.
K. II Gatlin, gaming, fined $40

option law; fined $25 and given 20I

George Clemons, disturbing the
peace; fined s5
Charley Hines, aggravated assault
and battery; fined s25.

In addition TO the above there
were three or four pleas of guilty
by persons who requested that their

THE WACO TEACHERS
They Listen 10 noSf ExcelIeni Ad-
dress BY Dr.. Al Turner.

The Waco Times-Herald OF Sun
day has the following to say of the
address delivered there last Thurs
day by DIR. A. E. Turner:
On Thursday at their general
meeting the city teachers had the
privilege of listening to a most ex-
ceilent address by DR.. A. E. Turner,
president of Trinity University. The
doctor is an educator of wide and
successful experience, has given
close study to educational problems.
and possesses that versatility that
enables him to so intersperse the Sc
rious with the humorous that his
audience never wearies. but is sorry
when the last word is said
His theme was the professional
advancement of the teacher, and he
offered many helpful suggestions.
The first thing to be done was to
get in the child's way aud after that
the teacher must not go out of the
child's way.
There are many things essential to
properly getting in the child's way.
The teacher must have an intense
sympathy for that real childishness
Of children He must have an abid-
ing faith In them. He must mingle
with them, and observe most closely
their actions and words He must
study carefully their motives. In
the fullest sense he must have see
ing eyes and hearing ears and an
unprejudiced Judgment
The teacher must continue to read
and study as long as he teaches In
his reading the amount should ever
be OF less importance than the thor
oughness. One good educational peri
odical well digested and assimilated

In the doing OF some one thing In
school work. Teachers should place
higher estimates upon the worth of
their work Even though the partl-
cular position filled might be low
ly one and though the immediate re-
suits might not seem very brilliant
the teacher should be cheerful and
hopeful The plodding of teachers
is the balance wheel of educational
progress

 The name suggests many pos abilities in the way of plot, and the ultimate illustration of the same by the good young hero who is always accommodating enough to happen 70 be there at just the proper time.

 IMPRISONMENT FOR LIFE-wil- liam Fl. Sisson, who shot and killed a neighbor in the artesian belt of Gra- ham county, as the result of a quar- rel over a ditch, has been found guilty of murder, the jury recommending that he be sentenced to the penitentiary for life. The case excited more interest in Graham county than any similar in cident since the trial and execution of Chacon. Both the murderer and his victim were well known and gener- ally respected in the community.

PARKER ON COTTON.
Farmers VIII Win il They Hold rs
Firm as They Did i'm January.

In their weekly Cotton Letter. ],
| Fl. Parker e. Co., say:
The movement for the week is
again exceptionally small, and the
amount in sight is now only about
| 500, 900 bales above the amount in
! sight at this date last year. while our
advices are still to the effect that the
demand continues very active, and
| that the actual spot cotton cannot he
| obtained except at advancing prices.
! proving conclusively that there is no
weakening of spot market all of
which are largely above a parity with
the New York market. In our iudc-
ment no weakness can be expected if
the South holds as firmly for the next
thirty days as it has done during the
month of January. This situation is
a sore disappointment to "bear" op-
orators. who have persistently claim
ed and in fact have flooded the
country with literature to the effect
that this policy would be ruinous to
the producer and that a calamity
would ultimately result In fact the
advance that has taken place this
week is almost entirely due to a
fright on the part of scattered short
sellers who have been forced to cover
ut serious loss. 1t is the general opin-
ion that there is still a heavy pro-
fessional short interest in all the
should attempt to cover. would. be-

The stubbornness of the Southern
holder in declining to sell his pro-
duct at a sacrifice and below the cost

with the plans OF professional opera
tors but, If stubhornly adhered to,
VIII beyond doubt result to his profit
and benefit. In previous years the
remnant of the crop has usually pass

reapcd the benefit at the expense of

the first year in forty, where the
southern producer has been placed
in Il position of independence. where
he cnn hold and only sell as market
conditions justify.
The main bear argument is. and
will continue to be for some time,
present attitude and sell large guam
tity of cotton in order to make prepa
ratiOns for the next crop, but at pres
ent we can see nothing to justify this
conclusion. 1t must be conceded
however, that there Will be many UNI
certainties i'm the situation until the
planting season, and we are disposed
to advise conservative trading, but
can see no justification for other than
fem pOr1l'I declines below seven cents
as we believe that large investment

stantial recession. and we therefore
only advise buying on declines around
and below the seven cents level pend
