FARMERS WILL BE HURT.
Delegation to Protest Against the
Duty ON Potash-Means 5000. .Ooo
Per Annum.

Columbia, March 31.-A delega-
'ion VIII probably go to Washington
on the warpath in a few days to pro-
test against the provision of the
Payne bill, imposing a duty of 20 per
cent on potash salts. According to,
a letter from Director Harper. of the
experiment station at Clemson. the
new duty will take 5000, 600 a wear
out OF the pockets of the farmers of
this State alone. This stuff comes
mostly from Germany and is worked
over into commercial fertilizers at
Charleston for distribution through
out the South.
Commissioner Watson has sent Mr..
Harpers letter on to Congressman
Lever and asked him for a copy Of
the Payne bill. He has asked Mr..
Lever to say what kind of a delega-
ton would be most effective to come.
to Washington on the subject. AZ
ter hearing from Mr.. Lever, Mr. Wat
son will probably call on the State
Farmers Union to get together and
name a delegation to go on to awsh-
ington.
Mr.. Harper's letter to Mr.. Watson
follows: Dear Sir:-I understand
from the German people that section
3 of the Payne tariff bill imposes a
duty of 20 per cent on potash salts.
think this is an outrage. This will
mean that South aCrolina will pay an
additional duty to the government Of
about 100000 a year. This will
come largely from the farmers.
Most of the potash salts which
are now on the free list, are consum-
ed by Southern farmers, as sandy
soils are more deficient in potash
than clay soils and most Of the soils
Of the South are sandy.
Something should be done to let
congress know that the people OF
South aCrolina protest against any
such treatment.
yours very truly,

In first class condition. The books
were neatly kept and seemed to be

We examined the Jail and found
the same in fairly good condition.
The premises need white-washing
and sheriff assures us this will be
done at an early date. We have been
informed that sewerage connection
VIII be placed in the Jail at an early
GATE. We recommend that this be
done as early as possible in order
that the jail may be in a more sani-
tary condition as the hot weather ap-
proaches. We recommend that the
jailor be directed by the sheriff to
keep the yards and premises in better
condition; we notice that dish-water
and slop are thrown from the win
dow of the kitchen.

We note that the grounds around
the Court House are being put in or

needed for quite a while and We hope
that the Supervisor will continue this

class condition, so that the same may
compare favorably with our new
Court House.
We notice that the general public,
to wit. citizens of the city are using
the Court House toilets to a great ex-
tent. thereby increasing the water
rent of the County; we recommend
that the County Board Commission

building to lock the doors of the

What Senator Smith came ir this

that Senator Clay. the man who had

tight several years ago, and his man,
a Democrat, good and true and tried,
Is now in the postoffice in Senator
Clay's home in Georgia. It took
some time to win out, but win he did

way knew that II was only necessary
to do little digging in order to find
out all about his predecessors in the
field and learn just how much he could
safely claim in the way OF frst dis

After this Colonel ANA showed his
followers the sites he had chosen for
the Mission Dolores, and another pro-
posed mission. as well as the location
for the preside, and then he returned
to Monterey for the purpose of lead
ing his colony OF soldiers and settlers
north to found the mission town OF
San Francisco.
This colony ANA had formed HIM,
self He had recruited and organized
It in Mexico and had led it northwest
to California over the trail which he
had opened up the year before-a most
difficult feat to perform. yet one which
he accomplished without the loss Of a
single member Of his party. He took
them across the Colorado river by a
ford which he had previously discov-
cred He led them over the desert,

had been crossed. These parties
started on consecutive days, so that

ANA led himself; the second was
headed by Lieutenant Moraga, and the
third was in charge OF a sergeant. 1t
was mfdwinter; the cold on the lat
ter part OF the journey was intense:
there were women and children in the
party, and none were accustomed to
cold climate, yet the only loss on the
entire route was that OF 100 head of
cattle out OF the 500 that had started
with them from Mexico.
of actually founding the town of San
Francisco. When he returned to Mon
terey after planting his cross at Fort
point, he found Rivera. the new Span
ish governor OF California, await
ing him. This governor was an ex-
ample OF the pompous incompetent in
Office whose chief pleasure seemed to
lie in giving orders which would de-
feat the plans of the capable men I'M
der him. His singular conduct in this
case some historians ascribe to jeal-
ousy OF ANA, and others to insanity;
although IL seems more likely in view
OF all his performances while in Office
that he merely enjoyed the exercise of
authority and power, and that he was
not very intelligent. At any rate. he
informed the colonel. when he arrived.
that there would be nothing further
done for a year or two with regard TO
the founding of the mission OF st.
Francis; the colony could remain at
Monterey either TO await that time or
could be used for other settlements, as
Rivera might decide but San Francisco
was not to be settled for the present
This was not a very gratifying out

come OF his carefully planned expedi-
ton. and for short time ANA waited
at Monterey, hoping that in some way
matters might be Strengthened out. He
soon, however, met with personal dis
courtesy from the governor and finally
refused to have anything further to do
with him. Then, as he realized that
there was nothing to be gained by
waiting. and that the ultimate success
of his work was more likely to be
insured by his leaving at once. he
handed over the command OF the colony
to his trusted lieutenant Moraga, and
started southwark for Mexico.
This ended Anza's connection with
the settlement of San Francisco, but
although he was not present at the
actual founding of the town, he is
surely entitled to be remembered for
his relation to the enterprise. for, hay-
ing brought from a distance the colony
of settlers who were the first inhabit-
ants of the place, and for having Sc
lected the sites of the various build
ings. 1t was Colonel ANA who named
the spot Nuestra Sonora de los Do
lores, upon which the mission was
built, and from which it came to be
popularity known as the Mission Do
lores, although its official title was the
mission of San Francisco.
1t was not long after Colonel ANA 8
departure that Governor Rivera sent
orders TO Moraga TO go north with the
colony and found the settlement by
the bay, but he made the singular pro-
vision that no mission was to be
founded at the same time. This was
an unpleasant surprise for Father
Sierra, and it was not the only one
with which the governor furnished
him during his term of office; but after
receiving several contradictory orders
Moraga and the priest decided that IT
would be better to go ahead and use
their own Judgment without further
loss of time. 1t shows Rivera's ire
sponsibility and lack of official dig
nifty that when he later came to in
spect the town and mission OF San
Francisco he expressed satisfaction
that his orders had been disobeyed.
On June II, 1776, Lieutenant Mo-
raga gathered together his little band
of soldiers and settlers with their
wives and children, about 200 in all,
and with 200 cattle and a train Of
pack mules started for the bay of San
Francisco. Fathers Palon and Cam
bon with few followers were sent
along by Sierra to establish the mis-
sion.
They travelled at the rate of about
10 miles a day. arriving at their
destination June 81, but although this
does not seem like very rapid jour
