NEW BOILER FOR

WEIGHS MORE THAN TWENTY
THOUSAND PoUN DS-RE-
PLACES BURSTED ONE.

A new boiler to replace the one thai
recently exploded was received Wed
nesday by the Columbia Light & Water
Company The big piece of iron
which weighs more than 10000 pounds,
was loaded on log wagon by Charles
Morgan and attracted much attention
as it passed through town to the COM
pany's pumping plant. The wagon was
drawn by four spanking mules, and
such was the weight of the boiler that
the mules had to tug hard even on
level and macadamized surface Of the
public square.
The boiler is u inches in diameter
and IS feet in length, and its cost
was about $1,000. The bursted boil r
will be thrown into the junk heap, as
the cost of unriveting boiler Of such
proportions would be more than could
be realized on it for scrap iron. Two
boilers are kept by the company, so
that in the event of injury to one the
other may be brought into immediate
use.

Hitchcock to accept his recommends
tons for postoffice appointments, has
written the latter a letter in which
he calls him political dictator" and

there has been an effort to make it ap-

denounces in his letter, and says that
he "favors the Presidents progressive

The question came up In the case OF

The local tax authorities levied a
tax on the agreements between the in

holders, under which the companies
advanced to their holders the reserve

The company brought the suit in

Brings JOY TO THE

wednesdays Daily.)

| Spring-like weather of the past two
days has brought joy to the hearts Of
the farmers of this county, and as
a result farm work that has been prac.
tically suspended during the rigors OF
an unusually severe winter has been
resumed. Plows have commenced to
move in all sections of the county, and
with another day or two of the type
of weather that the people have been
favored with In these parts for two
days will see the farmers more active
than they have been in months.
The cold and snow of the past three
months had very much retarded farm
work of the county and the farmers
are behind They will have to take
full advantage of all the good weather
in order to get the spring crops in
on time. In many sections it is too
wet yet to pillow, but before the week
ends there will hardly be a farm in
the county where one or more plows
will not be in full operation.
Oats planting will begin this week
So far very few spring oats have been
planted in this county, owing to the
inclement weather, but already in
some sections the farmers have COM
menced to plant oats. If the weather |
is favorable, the preparation of corn
land will commence. within the next |
few days. 1t is probable that the
acreage planted in corn this year will
be exceptionally heavy. The unusual
ly high price that this cereal has COM
handed during the past season, cou-
pied with the abnormal prices of all
granted animals, will unquestionably
stimulate the planting of heavy crop.
This winter has been an expensive
me for the farmers, because it has (
orced them to feed much heavier
han they have to during open wealth |
IT. However, whatever losses they |
ave sustained on this account have t
'een more than compensated in the {
Ugh prices that they have received u

The lamb crop in the county has

the lambs have died from exposure, d
lille others that were housed in large LII
arms have been trampled to death. b

and found guilty, and on Jan. 10, 1900,
was sentenced to serve twenty years
in the penitentiary. A motion for a
new trial was made, but was with
drawn by the Negroes attorney before
being argued. The crime was said to
have been an atrocious one, the negro
having shot the officer down as he |
was on his way to arrest him. The
killing occurred near Mt. Pleasant.
Hon. Frank Boyd, now prominent |

attorney, at that time be-
