CHICKENS.

The price Of chickens is higher In
this vicinity than it has ever been.
There Is no unit of value in this con-
nection, of course, as such fowls are
still sold by the head; but the general
tendency is upward.
Sometimes it is possible to pick up
a two pound fryer for Is cents; but
more often it is 20 cents, and not in
frequently % cents. The price is still
q matter of the trading talent of buyer
and seller.
Chickens are not any scarcer this
season than they have been In the
past. 1t is not improbable that they
are more plentiful. But the demand
is greater. There are more people who
want chickens, and the consumers gen.
orally are better able to pay better
prices.
High as chickens are in this local.
ity, they are cheap as compared with
other localities. A chicken that Will
bring Is or 90 cents on the Yorkville

WHO KNOWS THIS TREE.

The following Is from the Charlotte
Observer. We remember hearing some
thing Of a big tree in the neighborhood
indicated; but 1t would seem that Mr..
Hall must be slightly mistaken in at
least one particular. If the tree was
27 feet in circumference 1t could
not be much more than nine feet in
diameter, in which case the 10-foot
pole could not have been so lonesome
as described.
Talking about tall timber" said
Mr.. T. M. Hall of Steele Creek, yes
terday, down in York county, South
Carolina, just over the line, there used
to be a poplar tree 100 feet in height
and 81 feet In circumference. You
could stand in the middle, for 1t was
hollow, and be unable to touch wood
anywhere with a 10-foot pole. For a
long time it was used as a blacksmith
shop by Mr.. T. M. Carothers. Finally
about two years ago it caught fire and
burned down."
do you mean to tell u.s." chorused
In unison Squire Hilton, Of the United
States, that any such tree as that
grew in this section?"
II can prove It," averred the spokes-
man from Steele Creek. Il have seen
it many a time and any Of the old
folks down there will tell you the
same"
1t takes heavy jolt to jar the court
house bunch, but Mr.. Hall scored a
knockout blow in the initial round.

THE ROAD LAW.

The road law as the same applies
to the county of York was amended so
as to make the Communication tax $3,
and this further important provision
was inserted:

sioners of York county are hereby re-
quired to employ the chaingang or SAID

in 1893, the first adopted by south
ern state. 1t provides for the trial Of
indicted persons in an adjoining coun-
ty to that in which the crime was
committed, but the law omitted a pro-
vision for the punishment for the
crime. At the first trial of these cases
in Union county, the adjoining county
to Arson. last July, the defense moved
to squash the indictment because no
punishment was provided and also
that the crime could be punished un-
der the common law Of manslaughter,
but allowed the other motion. Recent
ly the supreme court ruled that the
act was constitutional, and Gov. Glenn
called the present special term of the.
Union court to try the cases. Three
of the defendants fed from the state
and have not been apprehended. If
convicted, the minimum punishment
under the common law is twenty years
punishment.

market will bring from 30 to 40 cents
in some Of the larger surrounding
towns and in many of the northern
cities the price Of two pound fryer
runs up to so or 60 cents.
The situation Is one that should be
very we'll calculated to attract the at
tention of poultry raisers, and those
who are situated as to be able to cas-
lily become poultry raisers. There is
a chance for good money in raising
chickens now. The probability Is that
1t will be quite a while before there
Is any decline in the present standard
of prices. On the contrary the ten
dency is likely to continue on upward.
AS we see 1t the poultry industry Is
well worth careful investigation; but
those who would investigate it, must
not be too slow about taking action.
Those who expect to reap a share Of
the profits that are promised for next
spring should have their arrangements
we'll in hand before the expiration Of
many more weeks.

- There is a lively clash of jurisdic-
tiOn between the state and Federal
courts in North Carolina on account of
the new rate law that went into effect
recently The law reduced passenger
rates to q cents a mile. The railroads
went before Judge Pritchard of the
United States court claiming that they
would starve To death at that rate and
secured an injunction until the case
could be heard on its merits. During
the past few days, test cases have been
developing. The Southern agent at
ASheville refused to sell a ticket at "a
cents and the state had him put in
Jail. The railroad applied to Judge
Pritchard for writ of haDeaS corpus.
The attorney representing the state of
North Carolina, changed his tactics,
and asked for continuance. The
prisoner was taken from Jail and held
in the custody of the state court. In
the meantime, another case developed
at Raleigh. Judge Pritchard forward
ed writ in ended to dispOssess the
state court of custody of the prisoner
and started for Raleigh to be nearer
the fighting 1t looks as If there is to
be a clash between state and Federal
authority that will result in something
conclusive. and the situation is grow
ing more and more interesting.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

Col. Larry CAN'T passed through
Columbia the other day on his way
from Athens, Ga, where he is now
located, to the mountains. Col. CAN'T
called upon Governor Ansel, and as
sured him that the Georgia legislature
would pass the prohibition law.
1t has developed that w. H. Demp-
sey, who was fined fifty dollars in
Gaffney the other day for selling whis-

Beaufort special Of July II, to the
Columbia State: At IL o'clock last
night, George Watson, the eleven-year-
old son of Rev. A. B. Watson, walked
in his sleep out of an open second sto-
ry window on to roof and stepped
off into space. He fell eighteen feet
to the ground, but did not sustain any
injuries that now appear serious. He
has not recovered from the shock, but
the only apparent injuries are a cut
under the chin and slight abrasions
OF the nose and ear.
Wade Hooper, young white man,
originally from Union, was drowned
in Pacolet river at Clifton mills last
Sunday. He had swum across the riv-

seized with cramps on the trip. His
companions trieC to persuade him not
to try to return, but he offered to bet
five dollars that ne could make 1t, and
sank after he had gone Onlr q short
distance. A brother of Hooper lost his
life at the same place about nine years
before.
Anderson special Of July II, to the
Columbia State: Solicitor Boggs ar
rived in the city today and brought the
news of the rather unique death of Mr.
Nj. B. Waters of Brevard, n. c., who
lost his life from fright near Pickens
yesterday. 1t seems that Mr.. and Mrs.
Waters were driving out in the coun-
try when their horse became frighten-
ed and was rearing upon its hind feet.
Mr.. Waters became frightened on ac-
count of his wife and collapsed, dying
eight minutes later. The horse did not

RICHARD Carrolrs idea of the race
question seems to present the most
satisfactory solution Of "the problem"
from the standpoint of the negro. AS
Carroll sees the subject, there is really
mo problem" and if the negroes can
be induced to follow the lines blocked
out by this level-headed negro, they
will save themselves much trouble and
tribulation. Honesty, industry, NOR
ality and loyalty will win for any peo-
pie, anywhere. Just as the negro
makes progress in these qualities, his
position in the scale Of civic import
ance will go higher and higher.

WE notice a statement to the effect
that if the state prohibition bill now
pending in the Georgia legislature be-
comes a law, Governor Hoke Smith
will lose 100000 a year in rents from
the Piedmont hotel property Of which
he is a part owner. We are unable to
see it exactly that way, however. The
property may be calculated to yield its
best returns when employed for saloon
purposes; but it will still be worth
something even under prohibition.

IT is not difficult to foresee how the
conflict between state and Federal au-
thority in North Carolina is coming
out. The Federal judge has the most
power, and the civil war settled the

matter of power.

PROFITABLE USE OF THE NEGRO
There is no man in the country who
better understands the art of adver-
tising than the Hon. Benjamin r. Till
man, the pitckfork senator from South
Carolina. Whenever he apprehends
that his popularity in the Palmetto
state is waning, he metaphorically
rushes into the senate with a ''nigger
impaled on his aforesaid pitchfork, and
holding the darky over the political
spit until he is roasted to the proper
consistency, turns to his constituency
and eXclaims: Behold what l have
done" And yet the records do not
reveal any legislation proposed by
Ben Tillman, the enactment of which
would prove deleteriOus to the mate
rial progress of the negro race. With
out the negro Tillman'S vocation would
be gone. SambO is peculiarly his po-
litical chattel. The negro is his stock
in trade, abuse of whom he exchanges
for votes in the primary elections at
his home. He is in nowise niggardly
in his political trading, as he will give
as much abuse of the negro for votes
as may he required by the most eX-
acting e!ector. The doughty SENATOR
