NEW JERSEY 'RicKlSHAS.
Vehicle of Yankee Make Has Invaded
the Orient with Good
Results.

That Characteristic vehicle of the
orient, the jinrikisha, is drawn by a
yellow coolie in Japan, a brown Hindu
In india, a black Zulu in South Africa !;
but look between the shafts of the
'r1kisha in any of these countries, and
you will probably find the same name
plate-that OF a vehicle manufacturer
in New Jersey. The Yankee jinrikisha
has invaded the east, and it's invasion
promises to result in a permanent oc-
cupat1on of countries where cheap la
Dor would seem to forbid sales OF
American goods.
The Yankee 'rikisha manufacturer
completes on prices first. He sells vehi-
cles as good as the native product at
as low as SIG and no higher than $40.
American factory methods permit turn
ing them out in large numbers on the
duplicate system He also completes in
quality, making jinrikishas with ball
bearings, bicycle wheels and cushion
tires at $50.
Different types of 'rikisha are made
for different countries. The vehicle is

supplies the "pousse-pousse'' used in
Madagascar. 1t is variety OF jinriki-
sha with hood and springs
Another is the Korean cab," which
is nothing more than an improvement
on the clumsy Chinese wheelbarrow,
with its single wheel, familiar as pas
senger vehicle in all Chinese cities
The Korean cab has a single wheel
fitted with pneumatic tire, and seats
one passenger, the seat being placed
high over the wheel. Coolies in front
and behind balance and propel it, and
the vehicle is capable of good speed.
When the Yankee 'rikisha was intro
duced on the west coast of Africa, it
was so much lighter than the vehicles

who drew one presently stopped, lift
ed the vehicle and its passenger to his
head. and wanted to carry it that way,
being easier. American wheelbarrows
were introduced about the same time.

Three Days in a Box Car.

A Willmar, Mimi, dispatch says a
lad fifteen years of age. giving his
name as George Harrison, was found
there nearly starved in a box car filled
with corn. The boy said he had been
helping his step-father at Randolph,
Neb, his home, filling the car, and that
he was accidentally locked in The
car was full and he was unable to
move about or attract anyone's atten-
ton for three days. He was discov-
cred by chance by an inspector at
Willmar.

dumb way, but his eyes were not yet
opened. His wife was dead, killed by
the famous stocllyards smell. the
socialism. Redcuss was not yet a So;
cialist, but he was the next best thing
"a vegetarian. The reason why he was
vegetarian will be found in the next
chapter.
CHAPTER II
No man can work eight hours day
slaughtering sick and loathsome cattle
and retain a liking for canned roast
beef or tongue. No man can plunge
knife into steer afflicted with German
measles and ever afterward attempt
steak. No man could look upon the
sights described in the next few chap
tiers and think of eating meat without
a shudder!
CHAPTERS III-XXI.
Omitted by req'lest.)
CHAPTER XXI.
Thus Redcuss was a vegetarian, like
Bernard Shaw, but not yet, like Shaw,
socialist. Potentially he was So
cialist, like all men who are down
trod or whose lungs have inhaled the
stockyards smell. He believed in gov
eminent ownership of breweries, mis-
sion furniture works, and other things
world should be divided equally. But
he lacked expression. He felt, bu.
could not speak, and if you have no
terminology, no jargon, you are no
kind of a socialist. dumb sociaIis'
is a contradiction in terms.
CHAPTER XIII.
Came one day the awakening. A fe.-
workman lent Redcuss Jack Lon
don's War of the Glasses" He read
and his brain took fire. They gave
him the complete works of Upton Sin
clair and English Walling's Musings
of Revolutionist." He subscribed foc
a socialist weekly, and one eventful
night he attended monster mass
of socialists at the Coliseum.
1t was mobilization of the Army OF
the Revolution. The great hall was
red. and riotous with the glorious ban
ners of our faith. Redcuss was drunk
with excitement. They pointed out IJ
him the leaders sitting on the stage
Jack London, Gen. Upton Sinclair,
Gen. Phelps Stokes, Gen. Robert Hun
ter, and 40 other generals.
But hush! bark! General Sinclair
speaks.
CHAPTER LAST.
And now" cried General Sinclair,
now begins the rush that will neve-
be checked, the tide that will never
turn till it has reached it's fiood-the
rallying of the outraged workingme1
of Chicago to our standard! We shall
organize them! We shall drill them!
We shall marshall them for the vic
tory! We shall bear down the opposi-
ton, we shall sweep it before us! Chi
cago will be ours! Chicago will be
ours! CHICAGO WILL BE OURS!!!"
A wild roar arose as the army took |
up the slogan. Screaming it, Redcuss |
rushed out into Wabash avenue and |
hurled himself, with flank movement. |
upon a policeman.
When he recovered consciousness he |
was on a narrow cot in harrison stree |
police station. The city was quiet |
The Army of the Revolution had re
tired to their respective homes. The |
wind was southwest, and familiar |
odor fioated on the night air-the smell |
of the stockyards!
Redcuss turned his face to the wa,
and wept.

SERIOUS FIRE.
MIR. D. Il. Wheeler S Residence Burn
ed-Loss S6,500-Mr. Dennis
Run Into By Train.

.url'ily. February 5.-Satulnlay
was day of stirring events in town.
First came the news that Mr.. D. II.
Wheeler's S fine home had been burned.
The house caught on the roof and it
being dry and windy it was impossible
to save it. The store Of Mr.. II. +.
Wheeler nearby was saved. Very lit
tie of the household goods were say
ed. The loss will aggregate about
$4,000. Insurance $2;50O~
The next was the news that Mr..
Dennis was run into by a train on the
c.. n. & L. railroad and had his wagon
demolished and one Of his mules kill
ed. Mr.. Dennis who was in the wagon
escaped uninjured, but was severely
shaken up. This happened near the
old CAN'T home.
On Saturday night Mr.. ". L.
Mathis was demonstrating with one
John Spearman, who was unruly. He
was severely, if not dangerously, cut
on his face and head. The extent Of
his injuries was not known when your
correspondent saw him at $50 p. m.
The patient was under the care OF
Drs. Bedenbaugh and Wheeler, who
were preparing to sew up the wounds.
The negro made good his escape for
the time being at least. The wounds
are on the forehead, nose and in front
of ear to point under the chin.

ter, Of Liberty, S. c.. are visiting

in town Wednesday shaking hands
with his many friends.
Sav, we would like to ask if it is
not possible for the Newberry Electric
company to run wire down to us and
light our town with electricity. Is
this plan not feasible, and if so, why
not do ito There is another idea we
would like to see in our town, and that
is a license for any and all business.
All progressive towns do this and in
this way the town can control any
and all business that may come to the
town. We are heartily in favor Of a
business license.

FOR NEW COURT HOUSE.
Bill Has Passed the State Senate For
Erection of New Building in
NeWberry.

Senator Cole. l.. Blease bill to
provide for the erection of 4 new
court house in Newberry. at cost
not exceeding forty thousand dollars,
has passed the Senate and will come
I'D in the house Of representatives
this week.
The bill provides for a commission,
composed of Messrs. George 5.
Mower, J. A. Sligh, J. Monroe Wicker,
J. R. Perdew, C.H. Shannon and Otto
Klettner, who shall select a site and
build a court house thereon. flreproof.
equipped with vaults and steel paper
files. at cost of not over forty
thousand dollars, for the payment OF
which twenty year bonds are to be
issued, in the sum Of $500 each, to be
retired four each year, paying for the
building in twenty years. 1t is estl-
mated that in round numbers the new
court house would cost the taxpayers
Of Newberry county one-half OF one
mill on each dollar of taxable property
for the period Of twenty years.
The bill provides for no disposition
of the present court house property,
this being left for future considera-
ton.
Newberry needs a new temple OF
Justice, and the bill introduced by
Senator Blease and which has passed
the senate provides for its erection IN
a manner which will place very ht-
tie burden upon the taxpayers.
The bill ought to pass the house,
and it is very much hoped that it will
receive the favorable consideration OF
the Newbery representatives.
