Walking over a field of oats on
the first of April We noticed a streak
of oats at intervals that was upon
an average about twenty-five inches
tall, while the oats on each side
were about IA inches tall. This
difference was made by allowing the
rows of hay to'lsy on the lands dur
ing two weeks rain, which washed
out muqh of the substance of the
vines before the hay got dry enough
to rake In cocks.

case, Bobbs? How did yea manage that?" I asked.
 Bobbs tearfully produced a small monkey, not much larger than a kit ten, from one of his pockets and, stroking the little animal affectionate ly, he said with emotion:
 Tt was Chico, sir. Mir. Carney brought him for pet and he is almost human, sir, and will do anything you tell him. Hes so sly, sir, that he can pick your pocket in broad daylight, sir, and you'll never find him out I don't know about the cigar case, sir, but the day after you came last summer he got away and must have been in the library, where you and the other gen tleman were looking for something. After you'd gone to the village. sir, I found him under one of the big chairs, clinging to the bottom, and scared half out of his wits as he al ways is after he's been playing pranks You see," he explained, q had a key to the kitchen door and could get in and out as pleased until you had the new locks put on.'
 "Bobbs,'' I said, raising from my seat, q want to ask you one more question before you go. Do you re member the first note that you sent me? The one Chico brought when he climbed up the ivy into my window last summer?''
 Yes, sir said Bohbs, briefly.
 Well, how did you happen to say what you did in that note 2 I asked.
 "Mr. Carney told me to say it, of course, sir" replied Robbs.
 Do you know why he did so?" I continued.
 tYes, sir" said Bobbs. T was in the house watching you the day you came, sir, and when you picked up that glove of Miss Carney's and kissed 1t, sir, l told him of it. Then he said I should write the note as I did, sir, and that you'd make 8 good husband for her and he hoped you would marry her, sir"
 That will do, Bobbs,' said. Good night, my boy. I hope you'll get some sleep.''
 I sat down once more by the dimly burning lamp and, taking the glove from my pocket, I kissed it gently again and again. A slight sound

PONDER TRUST.

Among all the trusts against which the administration has lifted it's hand in reproof, none is more reprehensible. perhaps than the powder trust, which has large dealings with the government it. self; which deals in large figures and has been enabled through it's control of the markets to exact enormous sums in unjust tribute to the prowess of it's managers.
 It is generally conceded that there has been a strong combina- ton which has crushed out Compe- ton, putting the new manufaCtur- CTS out of business, even though they were prepared to make a bet. ter quality of powder at lesser prices. Through it's direcs con- nection with this relentless trust the government must have learned something of it's unlawful methods, which have at times given rise to a great deal of scandal. This must have been apparent to the gov ernment when it was compelled, as it is said to be now doing doing, to pay sixty-nine cents for variety of smokeless powder which expert evidence shows can be made, and is made, for thirty-flve cents.
 When it is considered that the governments needs, or at least it's uses, demand some thirty-tWo thousand pounds of powder per day, it will be seen that it ought not to be difficult for it to secure tae evidence necessary to put a crimp in the cinch which this trust has been enjoying. It is up to the government to find out why it is, and by means of processes it is, that this combination enjoys a monopoly that is complete in the production and distribution of smokeless powder and upon nine ty-fve per cent. of the production of ther high explosives outside of smokeless powder.
 It is aggravating to know, too, that just at time when the natior is involved with some other coun- try, and the citizens of the land are pouring out their patriotism by of- fering themselves as a sacrifice to the spirit of war, the men who con- trol the powder supply of the country are snugly ensconGed in '@s1. -ss--- .. .4-..---.k .z..--.=. szg1r srraptuous duaf5ersr hgur1ng out new methods of applying the screws to the people and worming greater gains out of the national treasury.

ENFORCING THE LAW

Governor AnSci is insistcnt that the
law against the sale of whiskcy shall
be strictly cnfnrccd. In this, he is
correct. In fact, il is the duty of all
gn"L citizens 10 see to it that all the
laws are strictly enforced. He is send
~" ont circulars and letters to shcr-
IFS. cnllStablrs and magistrates. call
ln~ upon them to sec Iu il that the
law is enforced.
II will be remembered by some peo-
pie that a few years ago another GOV
crnor did the same thing-callcd up-
on these officers and the municipal
officers to enforce the law. The sit
mtion now, however, is somewhat
different. The state eon>tabulary
has been abolished, and these Off
GERS have no excuse that there is
special machinery for the enforce
mcnt of the liquor law, and. therefore,
il is not their duty to look after the
violation of this law.
In addition to that, there are many
newspapers, WHICH are Ill IaNOr OIL the
local option law, and it is hoped that
public sentiment will be stron" enough
that ii will assist these officers in
brin~in" to justice those who are in
! clncd to violate the law.
1t is stated that "thc appointment
of conStablcs in Grecnville. Cheste,
and Greenwood was made because the
governor was satisfied that the law
was being violated and assistance was
needed in keeping down the blind
| tigcrs.'
If the governor expects to appoint
constables in all counties where blind
tigers exist, he had just as well ap.
point them ut once. IF he expects the
local officers to enforce the law, or tc
do anything in that direction, how.
ever, he had better give them tria
before he appoints the constables, fo,
after they are appointed, the local Of
fieers feel that they are relieved OF
any duty looking to the suppression o1
the Illicit sale Of whiskey.

There should be some plain talking
from the people along the C. & G.
division of the Southern at the
Greenville meeting tomorrow. The
present schedule suits the people along
the line from Columbia to Greenville
and it does seem preposterous to us
that the railroad people should SER
iously consider a change because the
people on a branch line and Of an
other road are not satisfied. Why
not let them complain to their own
line and change the schedules on it
to suit them. We at Newberry had
just as well complain and ask for q
change if the schedules between
Charlotte and Augusta did not suit
us.

ago, gray and haggard, stood before
the bar OF the court and looked the
Judge i'll the eye. His Honor was evil
IDENTIFY deeply moved, as he told Zim-
norman that it panied him greatly to
perform this duty. He said that when
Zimmerman pleaded guilty he had de-
termined, in the light Of the circum-
stances, to give him the extent Of the
law, which is seven years, but that
when he heard Zimmerman's g testi-
mony in the other case he was con-
vinced that Zimmerman was telling
the truth, and that Zimmerman had
repented, after great suffering.
Has Already Suffered Much.
"No punishment that can be in
flicted will be as hard to bear as what
you have gone through he told the
prisoner. "You must have lived in a
hell on earth these last few years."
said the Judge.
He spoke Of the offence in the light
Of Zimmerman's family traditions
and history, his intelligence and
standing in the community, which, he
said, made his SHINING all the worse.
After speaking on this line for some
time Judge Prince pronounced the
sentence to be three years in the
state penitentiary at such labor as
Zimmerman can reasonably hc nv
pcctcd to perform in view Of his age
and physical condition.
The attorneys at once had renewed
the bond of $4,000 for Zimmerman,
pending the appeal to the supreme
court on the point raised before ar
raignment, that the Indictment is in
valid under the wording of the sta
tute. The minimum sentence which
could have been imposed on Zimmer-
man is one year.

HIGH SCHOOL LAW.

We publish in another column to-
day a copy Of the high school law as
passed by the recent legislature. It
should be Of interest to several COM
anunities in this county, and there is
no reason why Newberry should not
secure the two schools, which are
provided for under this law.
An appropriation Of $5O,OOO.0O
was passed to aid in the establishment
OF these schools on condition that not
more than so per cent Of the amount
used in the establishment of the
schools should be taken from this
fund. 1t also provides that not more
than $12O0.00 should be given to any
one school in any one year and that
not over S per cent Of the total
amount appropriated should be Civ
ell to any one county in one year.
This means that there cannot be more
than two schools in any one county,
provided as much as $1200.OO should
be secured for any one school from
the state.
The amount to be raised by the
community must be by private sub
scriptions or by taxation or by the
issuing of bonds, and no school shall
be established in any town where as
many as 1000 inhabitants are. In
other words the purpose Of the law
is to encourage the consolidation and
the building of good schools in the ru-
raj districts.
We have several communities in
mind in this county. in which we
think the advantages Of this act
conld be applied with profit to those
communities, and the communities
could raise the money necessary with
out any hardships.
We trust that the superintendent
Of education and the trustees will take
this matter up and gct ready for the
establishment Of n high school at
Newbcrry by the time the appropria-
tion is available, which is the begin
ming of the school year in July.

THE JUDGES SALARIES.

The Observer is Watching to see
how many judges will violate the
state constitution and accept the in
creased salary Of $500 each coted
them by the legislature. If the law

vision Of the state constitution. how
can they expect ordinary citizens to
have proper respect for the law, or

We presume the Observer refers
to the bill introduced by Senate,

"That from and after the passage of

penses to be paid to them in the same
manner that their salaries are now
