Upset Price for Husbands.
Hartford Courant

The price of husbands killed in the
Cherry mine is rising, but 1t cannot yet
be considered excessive. The claims of fifty
widows have been settled by the st. Paul
Mining company at prices ranging from
$500 TO 1890. Before other claims could
be adjusted some inconsiderate person sug-
gested that the prevailing rates were too
low. One hundred widows who held out
for better terms have now been offered a
uniform rate of $500 per husband.

Andrew Carnegie and the West.


After having spent several weeks in
the west, particularly along the Pacific
coast, for the benefit Of his health, An
drew Carnegie has returned home a
full7fedged supporter of the west and
a great admirer of western progressive
ness. He recently made the remark
that the western people are larger, the
western women are more beautiful
and all are better developed physically,
put more into life and get more out of
life than do their neighbors in the
east. He declares he likes the west
and has only words Of glowing
prophesy for its future growth.
A man Of the nature of Andrew
Carnegie is naturally taken with this
western country. There is a hustle
and a go about it which is inspiring
even to those we'll along in years. On
every side the appearance of enter
prise, the thrifty farms, the busy cities
and the breezy air of the people may
we'll appeal to him after having spent
so much OF his life in eastern cities,
especially among the hard-grinding
conditions prevalent in the higher cir
cles of business effort. 1t is, perhaps,
a western conceit that the west ex-
pected to have him pleased with the
way we do things, but, then, we are
not disappointed, for he really seemed
pleased and said so openly.

putting forth every effort to get in
some much needed attention to their

entirely too much rain, and even the
moIe optimistic of our planter friends
are estimating the coming crop at an
aveiag OF so per cent.
The claying of the eastern portion
OF Main street is being pushed stead
lily forward, as are also some smaller
improvements in the streets within

all.

OF workmen have been occupied for
the past ten days on that part of the

dertaking. and will no doubt render
transportation much safer. We do not

PINOPOLIs.

Pinopolis, July 3.-We have been
thinking Of sending you a few items
from this section to let our friends
know how we are getting along In
the low country"
We have had plenty Of rain since
the 23rd of May, but crops. where
they have been we'll managed, are
good. The negro crops are poor. We
have had a hard battle with grass,
but II we have a few more days cf
sunshine we will win out" as they
say in base ball.
Most Of the land owners here have
too much land. They have more than
they can work and they rent thou
sands of acres to worthless negroes
and in June they are in the grass,
and can't get them to work. We are
renting a thousand acres, and work
ing 800. and another year we are go
ing to require each renter to hoe a
certain number of acres of cotton
each month, or we won't rent them
an acre of land. This is the only sec
ton we have ever seen where the
land owners are bossed by the tenant.
And then we have class of mer-
chants here who will buy a mule, feed
the mule and hand and look to the
crop for pay. An up-country mer-
chant would not consider such a
proposition. To show the folly of
such management, one of our plow
hands made a few dollars last year,
paid 1t on horse, and got lien. In
June the horse died. This crop is
not as good as his "out-side" was last
year. The merchant will lose the
balance on the horse and all the pro-
vision. We lost a plow hand. the
merchant at least $500, and the ne
gro a years work. We told him and
the merchant before they started this
would be the result. We haven't any
sympathy for either.
We have adopted a new corn meth
cd. Make all the corn we need with
out fertilizer. Some depend more on
the fertilizer than the work. Plant
corn after cotton, and work it well,
and you will make all the corn you
need.

The Trial Of Wh;skey Cases is a Slow
Business-The Kelly Case a Hard
Problem for the Jury.

From The Daily Item, July /.
The first of the cases against w. P.
Kelly. for selling whiskey, which was
taken up yesterday was concluded
this morning and the jury retired to
the room to deliberate about 10
o'clock. At the noon recess the jury
was still out and the indications were
that there would be a mistria,.
The only other case disposed Of to-
day was that of the State VS.. Han
rah Taylor, colored, who was accus-
e0 of selling liquor. The verdict was
guilty, and the sentence imposed was
six months in the penitentiary or a.
fine of 5000.
Following this case the Solicitor
called up another of the cases AGAINST
W. P. Kelly for selling liquor. J. FL.
Clifton. ESQ.,. who is defending Kelly
objected to going into this case while
a jury was still out on a similar case
against Kelly, and on the further
ground that jury being out there
was not a full panel Of thirty six ;u-
rors present in court from which to
select the trial jury in the cases call
ed. The objections were over-ruled
and the jury was drawn. much time
being consumed as each man drawn
was put on his voir dire. The jury
was completed and the court adjourn
ed until 3 o'clock.
