WILL HAVE FINE FISH
.sRainbows'' From The East--BrooIx
Trout Coming.

County Assessor C. S. Graves re-
ceived news yesterday that a shipment
of rainbow trout that he had ordered
from the Government had arrived at
Ballston. Mr.. Graves will stock the
lake on his farm near Ballston with
them. The lake is about three quarters
of mile in length and averages
about fifty yards in width. The water
is fresh and clear and 1t will serve
excellently as a place in which the
young ''rainbows" may develop. Mr..
Graves anticipates having, in short
time. one of the finest fising preserves
in this locality
Deputy County Clerk A. f. Toner
has also ordered shipment of East
ern brook trout and has received news
that it is on the way, and may be ex-
pected here In the near future. With
tHcsc fish he intends to stock tho La
Creole. Although formerl" a sains is
flshing straa IA the La Creole has de-
Perforated greatly in the past few
years, owing the combined effects of
careless and wasteful fishing and the
ilOOdifl6 VI AO6S III tiiC SHdhlCl Ny tAAC
sawmill company Since the removal
of the mill will insure against con-
tinuance of the flooding, and the more
stringent fishing laws that have been
enacted will guarantee somewhat
greater degree OF protection to the
young fish than might have been se-
cured in the past, it seems quite likely
that the La Creole may again become,
within a few years, as famous as ever
before as trout stream--thanks to
the effort of Mr.. Toner in arranging
for its Restocking with fish.
Mr.. Graves and MIR. Toner are the
only two men in this vicinity who have
taken advantage of the offer Of the
government to supply young fish for
the purpose of restocking such
streams as may be suitable for fish
ing grounds
Later: Mr.. Toner received tele-
gram yesterday from Henry o. Malley,
Superintendent of the hatchery at
Oregon City, telling him that the
shipment to him would be sent to Dali
las so as to reach here on the 1880
train this morning

And smiling smile of the greatest

Proceeded to give a profound disser-

'There's some things about it 1
couldn't jest foller,
But it's got direct primaries beaten

Which same-since the new plan its

We all should repudiate, same as has

While somebody else, thinkin' differ

First chice fer Jack Jones, and fer

And that's the scheme U'Ren advises
us usin'-
Let each feller vote fer the chice of his

"And then, after this, they add up all
the chices,
And then-(Well just here some mis-

The scheme thus far down seemed
quite simple and easy
But on from this point, it appeared to
git hazy.)
You add and substract and divide

"You add the first chices, the second

SOUTH CAROLINA PRIMARY.
Returns Indicate Selection of Blease
for Goyernor-Result a Defeat for
Statewide Prohibition.

Statewide Prohibition.
Columbia, S. c.. Sept. 13.-With
over $4,000 votes out of probably
100000 votes accounted for, returns
from the second Democratic primary
indicate the election Of Cole L..
Blease, Of Newberry. for Governor by
a small majority over G. G. Feather
stone, of Laurens.
Blease entered the race as local
option advocate with Featherstone
the champion Of the Statewide pro-
hibiton. In the first primary there
were four other candidates, but all
were eliminated except Messrs, Blease
and Featherstone. Before the first
primary, the battle was fought out
largely on the liquor question, but
since that time the press Of the State
had conferred vigorous attack on
Blease's record.
The result, however, is largely a
defeat for Statewide prohibition, as
many of Blease's votes were drawn
from men opposed to Statewide pro-
hibition. Especially was this the
cause in Charleston, which gave
Blease large majority.

A Mecklenburg Democrat, Who Will
Vote for Mr.. McNinch for Congress.

Burke County Beacon.1
A citizen of Charlotte who was in
town the other day, and who says he
has never in his life voted for a Re-
publican, having always been a
straight Democrat, avows his inten-
ton of voting for McNinch at the
coming election. He says that while
he knows Mr.. Webb to be an esti-
mable gentleman, and one who does
the best he can, yet McNinch stands
closer to the people and will repre-
sent them more effectually than our
present Congressman. He says Mr..
McNinch is one to whom no one man
ever appealed in vain for aid, that
he understands the needs of the Dis
trict and will make his presence felt
to some advantage among the law
makers at Washington. According
to this man there are many more
Democrats in Mecklenburg who feel
as he does and who will cast their
votes accordingly. It is the men who
know Mr.. McNinch best, those who
have been most closely associated
with him in business and social life,
who are his strongest supporters. And
the endorsement Of such men as these
is of infinitely more value to man
than the support Of professional poll
ticians, who are only looking for the
main chance as it affects themselves,
and who care nothing for the wants
or needs Of the people.
