command, fighting onward and upward
under that brave leader. 1t did not
take long for the officers and men to
find out the moral and physical cour-
age of young Buford, and he received
honors at the hands of superior Off
GERS. He had the h yh honor and great
distinction of being with Col. J. Raw
lins Lowndes, chief of Hampton's
staff, in delivering the last dispatches
making arrangements for the surren-
der of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston.
After the war Captain Buford re-
turned home and engaged in farming.
He took an active part in tax unions,
the farmers alliance and the grange,
and his wise counsel was beneficial,
his words carrying weight because of
his reputation as a soldier and later
as a leader during the Ku Klux reign,
Capt Buford having been very ac-
tive participant in the successful
movement against carpet-bag rule of
the radical times. In fact, he bears
the further distinction Of being the
, only man from Newberry county that
was tried in the United States court
for that work, and he is everywhere
recognized for his gallant services as
captain of military and red-shirt COM
panies working for the. redemption of
South Carolina from negro and scala
wag rule.
Captain Buford is now in his six
teenth consecutive year as sheriff of
Newberry county. This in itself shows
the esteem in which he is held by the
community at large, and which will
be given due consideration in his can
didacy for reelection. During all this
time of his successful occupancy of
the Office, Sheriff Buford, with the ex-
ception of once shooting a man in the
leg, has never put his hands on pris-
oneT in violence; which goes to show
that he is cool and we'll balanced in
the discharge Of his duties, being the
kind of man the people of community
f-o,+ IN +bo rocDopcjhIo oAoa of shaw
iff-one who, while brave and deter
mined and firm, is yet considerate and
humane.
In rounding out his 18th year as
sheriff, it affords his friends pleasure
and satisfaction to know that during
those years only four prisoners escap-
ed, and they were recaptured; which
practically makes a record of not an
escaped prisoner being charged up to
him. This is remarkable record and
one perhaps unexcelled, if not unpar
/ alleled, in the entire country. He also
has a record TO having captured more
criminals than any other sheriff in
the whole South, and of having
brought with requisition more crimi-
mails than any sheriff in the United
States; reputation which makes him
distinguished throughout the union.
(The requisition law is misunder-
stood by uninformed people. In a re-
) quisition case the State pays the ex-
spenses of the agent, besides allowing
him So day.
Another thing that has operated in
placing Sheriff Buford high in the
front ranks of his profession is mis-
stand against the railroads in their
work of sending their emigrant agents
and enticing labor out of the State
His is the proud distinction and salts
faction of being the only sheriff that
has ever tackled the railroads in this
business. One case particularly, in
which hands from Newberry when in
duced to leave their contracts, is

sions, many new amusements and will
be run new plan this season.
Many improvements have been made in
the place. and many new features are
being planned There will be a good
band at the park, and a merry-go-
round is now being planned for. Bet
ter street railway facilities are also
being planned. that the park may be

STEEL MARKET UP:
MILLS KEPT BUSY

Improved condition of the steel
market noted in the last few weeks
has become more apparent. The plants
of the United States Steel company are
working at a higher rate of efficiency
than in many months. The Illinois and
Indiana Steel companies for example,
report their plants working at full ca
pacity, some of them refusing delivery
before the end of the year.
E. The. Improvement has followed the
incoming orders of the railroads. The
Missouri Pacific yesterday ordered g.,
500 tons rails, and present rail In
quiries Approximate 100000 tons. In
quiries for steel cars are around $4,000.
Many of the eastern mills are reported
filed for FIVE or six months and falling
behind in shipments.
An Illinois Steel official predicts a
heavier demand within the next few
weeks. and similar optimism is report
ed by eastern correspondents. With
the advance In business there has been
some increase in prices, running up to
40 per cent for certain specialists. The
National Tube company has just ad
vanced the price of seamless tubes by

TO Be VERY ACTIVE

The Illinois Steel Company has
enough orders on its books to warrant
full capacity operations for at least six
months.
The Pennsylvania Steel Company re-
ports a sale of 1000 tons of steel bill
lets.
A number of substantial concessions
from the quoted price of S1.25 per 100
pounds for structural steel have been
reported recently. and it is known that
bidders for the 5000 tons for the New
York armory have cut far below that
figure in endeavor to get the con-
tract. The American Bridge Company
is one of the bidders The bids will be
opened Thursday, and competition has
been keen that the prices are ex-
pected to show heavy cuts. from the
market price. There have been cuts
in bar prices below the prevailing S1.2
per 100 pounds. This is liable to have
La depressing effect upon other steel
product prices. as few of the COM
