president of the South Carolina West
ern railroad (Seaboard), was in the

The place was selected, and this road

length, and just a few yards TO the
east of the Coast Lines freight trans

LEWIS AFTER THE JOB.
Wants Civil Service Commissioner.
shlp for Illinois.

Washington, May Ex-senator ].
Hamilton Lewis OF Illinois insists that
an Illinois man should be selected to
succeed Gen. John c. Black on the
civil service commission. Senator
Lewis today presented to the presi-
dent the name OF Harry NJ. Pindell
of Peoria, H.. for this office. This
matter is OF much importance to
South Carolinians for the reason that
Charles NJ. Galloway, secretary to
Senator +. ID. Smith. is slated to sue
ceed Gen. Black.
If Senator Lewis insists upon his
man having the place. it may be nee
essary to put Mr.. Galloway some
where else, but 1t is highly improb-
able that the latter will submit to be-
ing pushed aside for Mr.. Pindell.

FIRE AT REMBERT.
Sawmill Belonging To {. w. Chandler
Destroyed with Loss OF $500,

Rembert, May 31.-The sawmnl OF
Mr.. c. w. Chandler about one and n.
half miles from town was destroyed
Friday night, causing a loss Of ap-
proxmately $1,5OO. The greatest part
of the loss was due TO the destruction
Of lumber, about $1,000 worth Of good
pine lumber being lost.
Mr. Chandler stated Saturday morn
ing that he left the mill about four
o'clock yesterday afternoon. He had
extinguished all fires and sprinkled
water about the place. However,
there was a high wind later in the
evening and it is thought that Goals
from the furnace might have been
blown out and caused the fire. The
fire was discovered about o'clock,
but was too late 10 extinguish it.
There was no insurance on the
property at all, and for this reason
Mr.. Chambers loss will fall entirely
upon himself. Some Of the ma
chinery can be used again.

HoRRy Co. POTATO INDUSTRY,
FARMERS RECEIVE $50. 900 FOR
THIS YEARS CROP.
Trains Leaving Conway Daily Load
ell With Spuds for Northern Mar
kets--L. T. Granger Holds Record
for Largest Yield, 81 Barrels Per
Acre.

Conway, May 2S.-Fifty thousand
dollars has been paid to the farmers
of Horny county for the Irish potato
crop this year. For the past fortnight
trains have been leaving Conway daily
for the Northern markets laden with
spuds. Boatload upon boatload have
been brought from different points on
the Waccamaw River, and carload up
on carload have been brought from
Myrtle Beach, Pine Island and other
points on the railroad to be transfer
red to the potato special.
Five hundred acres were planted
In potatoes last spring and fifteen
thousand barrels were gathered there
from. The tubers sold from SO to
$3.50 per barrel. On account of the
six weeks drought, which preceded
the digging, the yield this year was
cut i'm half. Instead of producing
sixty barrels per acre only thirty
barrels were made.
l.. j. Upton & Co. of Norfolk, Va,
who planted on shares with q number
OF farmers In the county, were the
heaviest planters. On 275 acres they
gathered 5000 barrels, which were
sold for approximately $4,000.
The Myrtle Beach Farms Company
planted $50 acres and gathered 3,4OO
barrels which they sold for 1896 per
barrel. The Pine Island farm planted
about twelve acres and netted about
$25 per acre above expenses. There
were something like fifty acres plant
ed by individuals independently.
While the quality of the potatoes
produced this year was most excellent
and their surfaces were bright and
smooth, yet on account Of the drought
most OF the spuds never fully ma
tured and hence were understood.
L. +. Granger. of Allen, holds the
record for the largest yield, having
gathered 81 barrels from an acre of
his potatoes.
Despite the unfavorable conditions
this year and the fact that the potato
Industry in the county is practically
new, all OF the farmers realized a
profit on their crop and seem well
pleased with their yields. The indus
try is in its incipiency and there is a
great future In store for the trucker,
who plants, cultivates and markets
his crop scientifically and intelligent
ly. The soil Is especially suited to
this crop so that when the farmer
learns as much about it as he does
about Strawberries, cotton or corn,
his yield will be doubled and his
profits trebled.
In a few years the potato crop will
to a great measure supplant straw
berries and other truck. For one can
plant potatoes and follow them up
with either corn or cotton and the
same fertilizers can be utilized for
both crops. This cannot be done with
Strawberries, since they have 20 be
cultivated twelve months in the year,
Besides the expense of planting and
gathering the former crop is very
small compared with the latter. Then
berries are far more perishable and
do not carry as well to the Northern
markets.
