Stock & Klein, whopurchased the
Frank Blesener feed barn last fall,
have bred TO their four stallions'this
season, 365 mares. The company s
stallion, which stands at their stable
has bred IS mares. This means
some fine colts next spring, and
means, taking the average estimate
of 60 per cent, that there will be 27l
colts next spring, representing,
when one year old, $27, 10000.

Last Saturday we had occasion to
visit the Hyde settlement for the
first time in six years. There has
been a vast change in that section
during that time. We stopped at
the home OF Christian Rath. We
found him killing sheep so as to
have plenty of meat for threshers
whom he expected Monday. Every
one of the old settlers have, within
the last eight years, built good
frame residences and barns. The
old sod houses will within a very
few years be a thing of the past.
The crops are good throughout that
section and promises a good return
70. the summers work. ,....
Here is a formula that has been
tried and found successful for over
thirty years and ought to be of great
economical value to our farmer SUBJ
scribers: eff the roofs leak in the
farm buildings slack some lime in a
close box. When done sieve it. To
every six quarts OF this limeadd one
gallon Of water ahd one quart of
rock salt. Boil and skin clean. To
every five gallons of this add slowly
three. quarters OF pound of potash
aud four quarts of fine sand. Apply
with paint or whitewash brush.
This paint or wash looks as good as
oil paint and is as durable asslate--
besides it is fre-proof, lasts long
aud costs a trifie. Cut this ou,
and save it aud try it on your
! shingle roofs.

Senator Tillman.

Charlotte News.
The News and Observer has this to
saw regarding the stand taken by
Senator Tillman:
"The world respects an honest par
tisan. even if he is frank to bluntness.
Senator Tillman is respected more
than every democrat in America who
has 'genu-hected' in Washington to
Get White House favor
/ We are constrained to agree with
Editor Daniels in the above. 1t. is
eternally true that the world has lit
tie use for the mealy-mouthed favor
seeker. It is equally true that the
world still holds at high premium
sincerity and honesty. even II It be
clothed in a garb, uneouth and des-
titute Of polish and gloss.
Senator Ti}lman has been abused
All manner Of evil and harsh things
have been showered upon him, which
concerned him little. No doubt he
makes blunders. Who does not?
There is however, all unassumed
frankness and candid honesty about
the senior Senator from South Caro-
lima that carries with II force and con-
viction.
Senator Tillman's recent stand on
some of the most important bills un-
der consideration has won for him the
respect and admiration, not only OF
the people, but Of his erstwhlle enemy,
| Mr.. Roosevelt.
EVERY dog must lave his day.
and the position Senator Tillman no''
holds in the eyes Of thinking people
! is one justly deserved.

Martinique: and the mixed Dutch OF
Curacao In each country the partlc-
ular native animals are drafted into
the tales. In the West Indies there
are no rabbits. foxes or wolves, but
there is Brer Spider, Brer Hawk, Sis
Ground Dove, etc. The cunning spi-
der called Annancy, has the role Of
Brer Rabbit, with adventures just as
droll. The story Of how Annancy,
disliking Brer John Grow and his
family for being so curious, taught
John Crow a lesson by scalding the
feathers off his head and making him
and his race bald forever, is one Of
number of West Indian tales that
would make mighty good material
for Mr.. Harris.

Sources Of Our Uncle Remus Tales
Though Joel Chaldler Harris Gh-
Gle Remus stories except Of lu1E1a
legends, are as near American folk
lore as our literature Will produce,
they are, so to speak, American only
at second hand: Facts seem to lnd1-
cate their having been imported with
the negroes from somewhere on the
west coast of Africa. In their main
substance of character and incident
these stories are to be found in many
other countries where slaves have
been held. though nowhere have they
had the sympathetic retelling that Mr..
Harris has given them for US. They
are part Of the stock of the negro
storv-telill2rs in the West Indies and
Africa, and lney are told IN the Jaboo

IN SPITE OF DOCTORS
ORDER, THEY MARRIED.

Columbia, March IA charming
little romance was developed this
morning by marriage at 10 o'clock
at the First Presbyterian church. Ine
Contracting parties were Miss Nellie
Frank Bushe, of New York city, and
Mr. William Starr Bostwlck, OF Read
ing, Pa. They were to have been mar
ried in New York today. Invitations
for the wedding there had been issued,
but they had to be cancelled as Miss
Bushes doctor would not permit her
to return North at this time. Shortly
before Christmas she was attacked
with bronchial troubles, upon the ad-
vice of her physicians she came
south to get the benefit of mllder
climate. She went to Southern Pines,
NC. and spent seven weeks there.
Recently she seame to Columbia and
has been staying at the Mckenzie
House. She is most charming
young lady and has made number OF
friends during her short stay IN this
city. Mr.. Bostwiek quickly, cancelled
the invitations for the New York
wedding but was determined there
should be no postpon:ment Of the
wedding day, but simply that the GER
emony should be performed in Co.
lunbia instead Of in New York. He
came to Columbia and made arrange
ments for the wedding to occur here.
In the presence Of the friends Miss
Bushe had made at the Mckenzie
House, the ceremony was performed
at the First Presbyterian church, the
Rev. S. NJ. Smith, officiating. The
bride wore handsome gray travelling
dress.

Unanimous Praise. )

It is the privilege Of critics to dis
agree, but they seem to have foregone
this right entirely in the case Of Joel
Chandler Harris new book, H.Told by
Uncle Remus.' Of the hundreds of
reviews that have been published in
the press Of the United States not one
has been lukewarm or contained even
a line Of adverse criticism. GAS good
or better than the first Uncle Remus
tales that We loved in our childhood -
is the unanimous verdict; with word
in addition always Of admiration and
affection for the modest and gentle
Georgian.

WHO MAY OPPOSE TILLMAN.
Several Gentlemen Are Discussed
But a York Paper Thinks None
Would Have Chance Against
Him.
Fort Mill Times.

Fort Mill Times.
The foes Of Senator Tlllman and
the anti-dispensaryites over the State
are becoming more and more perpleS-
ed in the selection from their forces
Of a man who would stand show at
beating the senator in his race next
fall. Already number Of probable
candidates have been spoken Of. and
at least two have intimated wlllln2-
ness to run. such intimation being
sandviched, however,, with the usual
i..ifs. " lands" and ''provisos" 50
dear to the prospective candidate, who
doubts his ability to defeat his oppon-
ent.
Among those most favorablN spo-
ken of for the race is the Hon. Geo.
B. Cromer. Of NewberTy. The writer
knows little of Mr.. Cromer's past po-
litical career, if he has any, but learns
that he is one Of the champions of the
force engaged in the present tight
against Senator Tillman. He would,
perhaps, make fairly good start III
the race, and, with the aid Of an ex-
ira long-sighted microscope, get III
near enough to see the hosting or the
wool-hat colors at the finish.
Then, on the list Of probables IS
Mr.. E. D. Smith, the popular presl-
dent Of the South Carolina Cotton
association. Mr.. Smith has not yet
sienifed his intention of entering the
| race. and. it is not believed that he
will, for such step would not only
mean overwhelming defeat for him,
but sacrifice Of the popularity which
he now enjoys as president OF an as
sociation in which Senator Tillman S
si,pporters are numbered high up in
the thousands.
Last, and perhaps least. so far as
his chances Of winning are concern
ed, is the Hon. John L. Mclaur1n-
"Curly-Headed Johnny''-who, as
everyone believed, was snugly tucked
away in the political death-robe by
Senator Tillman a. few years ago.
Mr.. McLaurin, according to reports
expresses willingness to enter the
race, provided a sufficient number de-
sire that he should. This number he
will probably place at a figure 50 high
as to give him ample room to discard
the propositions: It is safe to add
however, that should the former sena-
for decide to take snatch at I'LL
mans scalp, he would do SO from the
blind side, and when it was all over
would discover that he hadn't even
touched a hair.

AN EDITORS APPEAL
TO Brother Publishers In Behalf Of
The Lost Child Of DR.. Byers
.. of Seeleyville, Ind.

1t the editor OF every paper III the
central west will republish these lines
there is Nc question but what DR.. 5.
L. Byers Of Seeleyville, Ind, will rc-
cover his little son who was stolen
from his home one year ago last May.
Dr.. Byers has spent his entire re-
sources in search for his child and
unless the big hearted members of
the press come to his assistance his
son will grow up an outlaw and an
outeast among the lowest people sof
the earth. It is cause that should
appeal TO. everyone. and no father
reading these lines can do so without
quiekening of the heart and a SYM
pathetic throb. It. is believed that
If this article is reprinted in, the
newspapers it. will form an endless
chain that will uncover the lost boy s
eoneealment and return him to his
distracted parents. In doing this
the profession Of journalism will be
fulfilling one Of its highest destinies.
Publishers whose cireulations touch
the Wabash, Ohio and Mississippi
valleys are especially requested to
reproduce this story Of the lost child
las DIR. Byers believes his boy is now
on some houseboat waiting to take
the road in the spring: There IS a
reward Of $500, awaiting any infor-
nation that will lead to the boys re-
;eovery. No questions will be asked
and if the abductor himself would de-
liver the boy to his parents he would
not be molested. The bereaved par
ents are heart broken with grief and
want only their child. If each jour-
nal will reprint these lines, they will
travel to every exchange table IN the
United States and bring back to a
wretched home child who is now no
doubt suffering with cold, unfed and
wretched to degree. Think Of what
your own feelings would be under
similar circumstances! This appeal
is indicted originally by a publisher
who saw Dr.. Byers only once, has no
personal interest in his quest other
than the bond Of sympathy thatmak'es
the world akin, and is inspired from!
the belief that the lost boy can only
be found through the united efforts
Of the country press of which he is
proud to be a member. His recovery
will be triumph in advertising and
no editor whose heart is placed right
will refuse this appeal. Remember:
It may be your, child next!
The following is a description of
the lost boy:
- DESCRIPTION.
Richmond Byers, if alive was !
years old last July, is of light com-
plexion, has gray eyes, left eye notici-

head. He is rather small for his age
and l.: unusually bright and inteiil

boy much older.
DR.. Byers has searched among the
rowing bands that frequent the Uni
ted States and believes that his SOD
can be found among travelling junk

was stolen by genuine gypsies. He
thinks he was taken by wandering

The Real Washington.


! Max Adeler.
':You say" I remarked to the old
negro who drove the hack, THAT you
were General Washington body-ser-
want 20
*'Dat's so! Dat's jes so. mossa. l
done waited on Washington sence he
was so high-no bigger n a small
chile.'
"You know the story then about
the cherry tree and the hatchet?'
| "Know it9 Why, I was dar on the
spot. I seen Mossa George climbe de
tree after de cherries, and I seen him
fling the hatchet at the boys who was
stonin him. I done chase dem boys
off de place meself.''
DO YOU remember his appearance
as a MANI What he looked like?'
"Yes, indeedy. He was kinder
short, chunky man; sorter fat and
hearty-lookin He had chin whiskers
and mustache and spectacles. Mos
generally he wore high hat; but Use
seed him in a fur cap wild ear-warm-
ers!" t.. :.
"You were not with him, Of course,
when he crossed the Deleware river?''
ovid him? Yes, sir; was right
dar. I was not more'n two feet off m
him as he druv across de bridge in
his buggy! OATS a fac I walked
'longside de off hind wheel Of dat
buggy all de way
"You saw him when he fought the
British at Trenton?'
"Sho's you're born I did! I held
Mossa Gawge's coat an hat while he
fought the British at dat very place.
Mossa Gawge clinched him and den
dey rassled and. rassled, and at first
he frew Gawge, and den Mossa Gawge
flung him, and set on him and done
hammered him till he cried huff! !!
| Mossa Gawge won dat fight. seed
him wild me own eyes! An l come
| home wild him in de kyars!'
"You weren't with him when he
shot the apple off the boys head9':'
"Who Want wild hime I wa mt?
was the only pusson dar 'ceptln'
one white man. I loaded Mossa
Gawge's revolver and han'ed it to
him, and picked up de apple an ct
| it's on as he'd knocked it off. No
body can't tell dis yer ole nlggah
muffin bout dat circumstance
I t'You know all Of the generals re-
lations, too, suppose? Martin Luth-
er, and Peter the Hermit, and the
rest?'
"Knowed um all. Many and many's
de time I done waited on de table
when Mossa Gawge had um to dinner.
I remember dem two gennmen jes' 8
if I'd seen um yesterday. Yes, sab;
an I druv 'em out often!"
1--WE frequently seen pictures OF
Washington in which he is represent
ed sitting upon a whit horse. Did
he really ride aw hit horse, or don't
YOU recall the color of his horse?"
"Why, bless your soul; 'call de
! color OBJ lie hoss'-call de color Of it !?
Do you see dis yer nigh hoss dat I'm
driving now? Well, dat's de very
hoss Mossa Gawge used 10 ride. He
lef' it to me in his will"
Just then we reached the station,
and I dismounted from the'hack and
paid Washington's body-servant for
! his service. No doubt a longer con-
versation with him would have re-
vealed other startling facts relating
! to the Father of His Country.
