! FINE CLOVER.

Mr.. John R:>Ashe exhibited in our office last
Saturday a bunch Of clover, of his second crop,
the stems of which were 45 inches high. The
first moving of his crop yielded three tons to the
acre, and the second moving, which was made
last week, yielded the same quantity. And
yet there are persons who seem to think that
clover will not grow in York county.

A Fort Worth, Texas, dispatch of Thurs
ed with families and their effects, from the
western counties, were streaming through
the city. They are fleeing from the
drought prevalent in the western counties,
and have come here in qest of work. They
give most gloomy accounts of the condition
of the crops and the lack of water for stock.
Hundreds of families are abandoning their
cattle and homes and going eastward to
keep from starving to death. The situation
is critical. Rain seldom falls in that dis
trict during August, and by the time it
comes there will be, it is feared, nothing
left in the country.

-Adolphus Brown and Henry Peden were
committed to the ~Spartanburg Jail last
Thursday by Trial Justice Harrison, near
Reidville. Brown and his wife quarreled
and she went to the house of her brother,
lowed her to the said house, carrying his
gun with him. Here the prisoners and the
deceased engaged in a scuffle, during which
the gun was discharged. Alice Brockman
received the charge in her breast and died
instantly. Jealousy, the 'green-eyed mon
ster," was the prime cause of the tragedy.
The defendants claim that the shooting was
accidental. All the parties are colored.

RAILROAD INTELLIGENCE.

From the Charlotte observer, FfldayJ
Col. R. A. johnson, of the Massachusetts
and Southern Construction Company, was
at the Central yesterday on his way South.
He reports that his company has contracted
with the Bethlehem Iron Company for the
rails for the road, and that the first Install
ment of the order is to be delivered at
Blacks Station, on the Air Line, on Satur-
day, the oath instant. The rail to be used
is the best made, a first class COZ pounds
steel rail, the same as is laid on the Air
Line track. On August End, Col. john
sen reports, his force will begin the work
of laying rails, beginning at Blacks and
going in the direction of Rutherfordton.
The work will be pushed rapidly, and
the first train from Blacks via Shelby
to Rutherfordton, will be run on or before
the 18th of next October. Col. Johnson's
company has labored under many very
serious disadvantages, but has made re-
markably good Roadway in the construction
of the road bed, and, Notwithstanding the
excessively wet weather has greatly retard-
ed grading and masonry, and made it diff
cult, and on some days impossible to haul
the trestle timber from the mills, the road
bed between Blacks and RutherfOrdton is
now ready for the iron. By an actual count,
there were forty-fve days since the first of
last February upon which no WORK at all
could be done, and this much time was
therefore taken from their calculations.
The first shovel of dirt was thrown on this
road about ten months ago, and now a Sec
ton of the road 45 miles in length is graded,
trestled and bridged, showing that the COM
pany worked with great energy and has
accomplished some unprecedentedly good
work.
Col. Johnson says that his company is
proceeding with arrangements to extend
the road from Blacks to YOrkville, ROCK
Hill and Sumter, S.. c., at once. There are
yet a few little formalities to encompass,
and then the work will be commenced and
pushed forward with the same energy that
was displayed on the ack's-Rutherfordton
section. In regard to the extension in the
western direction, Col. Johnson reports that
his company hopes to formulate matters in
Rutherford county so that they can put their
line under construction between Rutherford
ton and Marion and complete that section
at the same time they complete the section
below Blacks. eff no delays are encoun-
tered or no impediments placedin our way"
said Col. johnson, 1--WE will have our line
running between Charleston and Marion
within the next Is or Is months. And by
the way" he continued, Ibid you ever
think what an elegant and direct line of
railroad we could give Charlotte with the
ocean after we have constructed to Iancas-
ter and Sumter, and this is a matter now of
only a few months. l wonder if the value
of the opportunity would be appreciated"

One of the largest. most successful
and extensive establishments of its
kind in the country is the well-known
house of JOEL GUTMAN & Co, North

nous increase of business of this es-,

cessitates the eniarging OF their
quarters. On the site of the present
stores, magnificent structure is soon
to be erected which promises to eclipse
in size and architectural beauty oil
buildings of the kind in the city. In
consequence of this rebuilding of
their stores, their entire stock, which.

that the interest of their customers
must be attended to under all circum-
stances, and they now have 10 stock
every variety of goods suitable for
Christmas gifts. To one entering the
store the sight is particularly attrac-
tive and instructive. The rich and
beautiful goods piled up high on
tables and counters, the shelves filed
with articles to gladden. every eye
and suit every fancy, the busy girls
behind the counters, cutting, folding
and measuring with their def fingers,
and, above all, the numerous hurry
ing throng All these sights lend
charm to the scene and give rise to
many thoughts To give in detail a
list Of the goods offered for sale would
require many columns, so only o few
OF the latest aud most desirable will
be mentioned. Messrs. Joel Gut
man Il Co. have the proud title of the
leading lace house. Their line of
these goods is oae of the largest and
most valuable ia the country. Few
people realize how great an outlay is
necessary for a complete line of fire

enormous that only the larger dealers
carry the finer grades. Ia the cur

ANNAPOLIS AND HAGERsTowN.
Mn. EDITOR You published few
days ago communication from
gentleman in this city 10 which acorn
parison Of expenses of this city with
that of Hagerstown was made The
letter from the Mayor of Hsgerstown
from which your correspondent OBJ.
tanned his data. has since been read By
me, from which some additional facts
are learned. The city Of Hagerstown
pays State tar Of ls3 cents on each
500 of its assessed property; also .
county tax Of sS cents, and city tax
of 46 ccnts-making 10 all 1921 cents
in the 500. Annapolis pays IS cents
in the 800 for city tax, and 81 cents
to the county, which includes State
and school tax, showing difference
Of only 29a cents 10 the 500 10 favor
of Hagerstown.
There is large difference, however,
in the assessment Of property IN the
two cities. Annapolis is assessed at
the foil vslue of its property. while
Hagers.own, the Mayor writes, is
assessed at about one-eighth OF its
value. The latter city shows an
assessed value Of s., 100000, or
nearly million moro than the exhibit
of this city. There is no free water
in Hagerstown. Each consumer, >
TO use the Mayors own language. is
charged according to bis wants, Z and
".he city pays $1,000 per annum to
the water company for Ere purposes.
But here comes in the economical
part ofthc business. Hagerstown has
about the same number Of salaried
officers, and pays them in the aggre-
gate 3, 800 : year. Annapolis pays
for similar services $5,744I4be-
sides p, 40 ls Tor rleaning streets,
removing garbsxe, lamp-lighters, etc.
What i needed, therefore. for our city
is ! reduction Of pay 10 orr Mayor.
