GENESIS OF BELL ROPE.
Combat That Settled Conductor S Su-
premacy Over Engineer.

Although there does not seem to
be anything in common between pug
i'isn: and railroad rules, yet the adop-
tion of the familiar bell rope that
stretches through every car Of the
modern train was tn result Of fstic
encounter. At the same time and by
Tie issue Of the same combat, says
the Philadelphia Public Ledger, the
supremacy Of the conductor in rail
raal travel was ordained. It was
Philadelphia which gave both to the
world
One Of the oldest railroads in the
c"untry. is the Philadelphia, Whining
ton and Baltimore, now known as the
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
ineton, which was opened in 1887.
The firsr schedule contained one pas
serger train, which went to Balti-
more ore day and came back the next,
which WAS considered a remarkable
feat in rapid travel. When a train a
day each way was placed in service
the people cf the two cities served

DoTEs ON NOISE.

Our "sun-up" contemporary, The
Newberry Herald and News, is much
stirred up because "the people Of
Summerville away down near Char
lesion" are complaining about the
screaming of whistles and other nois-
es of the passing trains at all hours
Of the night, and INDUCES in some
rather absurd and not very pertinent
suggestions. Probably the editors re-
sidenee is not on Railroad Avenue, or
perhaps his editorial duties compel
him to turn night into day; Of course
there is some explanation of his re-
markable defense Of the railroads at
this time. If he will take trip
"away down. to Summerville We
will promise him a hearty welcome
and lodging where he will hear to
his hearts content the screech of the
whistle and all the unearthly sounds
that proceed from the passing trains
at all hours of the night, and we will
also show him the first and finest tea
farm in America, and some other
things that will interest him nightly.
-Summerville News.
The Herald and News appreciates
the kind invitation of its Summerville
contemporary and the News may not
be surprised if some day we should
drop off at Summerville to take a
look at that tea farm, but just what
this has to do with noise made by the
blowing of whistles or the ringing Of
< bells we do not exactly understand.
As matter Of fact, as we have said
on former occasions, we rather like to
hear the ringing Of bells and the
blowing Of whistles, because they are
evidences Of commercial activity, and
wherever they are heard the commun-
ity is usually alive with enterprises
which make for the development Of
our section Of the country.
Speaking Of this subject, we are re-
minded that only few days ago a
gentleman Of this city said to us that
he came very near having collision
with thc train at one OF The cross
in@s in the city. from the fact that on
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1907-09-06

approaching the crossing. the engin-
eer neither sounded his whistle nor
had the bell iung, and as the crossing
came near curve he did not observe
the train until it was almost upon
him. He was complaining Of the rail-
road. We reminded him that only a
couple Of years ago the city council
passed an ordinance forbidding the
ringing Of bells or the blowing of
whistles by any train within the cor
porate limits of the city. It is true
that the state law requires that this
be done, but inasmueh as there is no
one in the community specially charg-
ed with seeing that this section Of the
state law is enforced, and the police
were directed to see the city ordin-
ance enforced, it was natural for the
engineer to abide the regulations Of
the latter.

We direct attention to what Mr.. B.
F. Taylor has to say in regard to the
cotton seed product of the county in
connection with the introduction Of
the boil weeyil in this state. There
can be no doubt Of the fact that the
farmers Of the south have not yet
realized the gold mine which they
have in cotton and its allied product.
For great many years the seed of
the cotton was not considered Of much
value, and was only handled in such
a way as to secure enough planting
and then the remainder was thrown
on as fertilizer.
When cotton seed oil mills f1rst
came into use, great many farmers
thought that it was a mistake to have
the oil take from the seed, and that
the seed should be used as it had
been for fertilizer. It has been
demonstrated, however, that the
meal, after the oil has been extracted
and the hulls removed, is better for
fertilizer than the raw seed and that
the hulls and meal combined make a
better food for cattle than the raw
seed.
Besides that, the price which is re-
ceived for the seed is a considerable
item and adds verymuch to the wealth
which is produced from cotton. We
call attention to what Mr.. Taylor
says about the Importance Of hand
ling the seed more carefully in get
ting them ready for market. 1t will
be noted that he says that the cot
ton seed is worth as much per bush
el as wheat and cotton in the wheat
and cotton sectionsof this country. AS
a matter Of fact our people, and es-
pecially our farmers, could make a
great deal more if they were more
careful in the handling Of their farm
products.

THE LAST OF THE MoDoCs.
A Once Powerful Indian Tribe That
Is Fast Passing, T.,

Placidly smoking the pipe Of peace,
apparently forgetful Of the eventful
past, about fifty Indians, relatives
and survivors Of the renowned Mo-
docs, who took part in the most inter.
esting Indian rebellion in American
history, are living on allotments near
Miami, I. T. These fifty are, perhaps,
the only survivors or relatives Of thu
once powerful tribe.
The Modocs, it will be remembered,
were an Indian tribe Of nothern CAL
tfornda and Southern Oregon. In
1872 they became turbulent and re-
fused to remain on their reservation.
General E. R. S. Candy, veteran Of
the Mexican and civil wars. was sent
against them, but they, after firing
on the Uaited States forces, retreat
ed to the lava beds. The advance OF
the U. S. troops was greatly smpeded
by the peculiar Typography Of the
country, and a good many Of them
were picked off by Indian sharp
shoots concealed behind the rocks and
crags Of the lava beds. Efforts were
then made to negotiate with them,
and a conference was held between
General Candy and two peace COM
missioners, on the one hand, and a
number of Modocs, including their
chief. Captain Jack, on the other.
While General Candy and his aides
were seated on stones around small
fire. two Indians who were concealed
in the bushes, rushed from their hid
ing places with guns and shot to death
the general and one Of his compan-
ions. A vigorous campaign was then
begun against the treacherous In
dians, and in the following summer

ceeded General Candy, captured the

We observe that the Farmers Un-
ion at the national convention at Lit
tie Rock, Ark, has fixed the minimum
price of cotton at 13 cents for Sep
tember, and one-fourth Of cent to
be added each succeeding month. The
addition, it is said, is for the purpose
of paying the cost of storage. The
Cotton association Of this state, as
stated in Tuesdays paper, has fixed
the minimum price at 13 cents. Pres
ident Smith, We understand, adviced
Is cents as the minimum. It would
seem to Us that it would be better f
acse two organizations could agree
upon some one price. Of course, there
is no conflict, but it does seem to us
that if the Cotton association puts
price below that fixed by the Far
mers Union, that it will weaken the
force Of the minimum fixed by the
union. We are inclined to the opin-
ion that the minimum fixed by the
Cotton association is the wiser posi-
ton. Of course, we would be glad to
see the farmers get Is cents for their
cotton, but we fear that there will
not be a sufficient number who will
stand for this price to make it effec-
tive.

Friday, September s, 1907.

The new river line between George
town and Columbia is now IN active
operation. Only last week the "Clty
Of Columbia came into port at Co.
lumbia with full cargo Of 100 tons.
It is claimed that freight which will
leave New York and Baltimore each
Friday for Georgetown will reach Co.
lumbia by Monday morning. The
average trip is about ten days. That
is really as quick as freight can be
received from these points by rail,
and it frequently happens that it
takes much longer time.
Mr.. }. W. Smith, who is the man.
ager Of the line, is working up busi-
ness for it and will soon demonstrate
to the people Of Columbia that it is
very largely to their interest to give
this line their business. The rate IS
at least. 25 per cent cheaper, and as
the freight can be brought from New
York to Columbia in ten days there
can be no cemplaint of the time. The
permanent establishment Of this line
from the coast into Columbia will be
of great commercial value to all this
section of the state.

are either survivors or descendants,

survivors of the rebellion. Besides
him are two or three others who were
transported from California. The
others in the territory are descend

continues to dwindle as rapidly dur

We are not aware as to who had
charge Of the placing Of that sign
board dividing Dorchester and Berke-
ley counties at Four Holes swamp,
but it is very evident that some of
President Roosevelt's simplifed
spelling was used by the person who
did the painting. On this side Of the
board is marked "DORCHESTOR"
and on the other Dor
chester Eagle.
This reminds US somewhat of the
names of our streets which lave been
posted by the city council. For in
stance, the spelling of Boundary
street as '''Boundry'', and the spell
ing of ONeall as "0Neal." It is,
at least, some satisfaction to know
that Newberry is not alone in the
matter of bad spelling, but then there
is no rule for spelling proper names
and if ''Boundry" in this instance
is the name Of a street, probably the
license which is permitted in the
spelling of proper names will excuse
our city fathers for posting the street
as ''Boundry.' And, yet as we have
said heretofore, some of the residents
of Boundary. street are willing to
make contribution in order to have
the name Of the street spelled cor
rectly. !. =
Since writing the above, We have
been informed by Alderman Green
that in ordering plates for the
streets the city council has included
plates for Boundary and O'Neall
streets with the correct spelling.
