A GLUT OF GRAIN.

ZEN Thousand Loaded Oars Blocked
at Chicago, and More to Come.
CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-There are 10000
loaded grain cars in Chicago and there ia
absolutely no place to unload them. Every
elevator is crammed to the top, few Of the
shippers are inclined TO pay rail rate and
majority do not care to take it at any
price. The reason for the lack of lake
transportation 10 that every elevator from
Toledo to Buffalo seems as full as those in
Chicago. East bound lines from Chicago
does his gold. IL they took
every traffic offered them they might easily
see the time within q few weeks when all
their cars would be used as a store house on
trunk line sidetracks Exactly this state of
affairs is coming about in a less degree on
the western roads. In spite Of their best
attempts cars are being piled up in Chicago
at rate which will soon make the blockade
of lest year an Insignificant affair.
THE BLOCKADE AT OTHER POINTS.
blockade and car famine which the railroads
of Iowa. the DaEotas and Nebraska have
been taking every precaution to prevent,
has set in. The inflow Of grain since the
roads became swamped has filed the ele-
vators everywhere and all sorts OF buildings
are being used temporarily for grain ware
houses. On ninety miles of the track OF the
Chicago, Milwaukee aud st. Paul in South
Dakota, 327 cars wers standing on side
tracks Saturday night and cannot be moved
for want of motive power. TIE same night
ITO came into Aberdeen from the Jim River
line, and completed the demoraliz 4tion.

Independence Of the south ended. But there
was ano her and permanent element of the

stand out, was the personal character OF the

a Lively right TO bo MADE at the S6S-
sion of the Legislature.
COLUMBIA, s. c., Dot. 26.-The prohibi-
tionists are preparing to wage a lively war
In the legislature this year. A meeting of
their state executive committee will be held
in this city during state fair week, probably
Wednesday, Nov. 10. for the purpose of
formulating a prohibition bill to be intro
duced in the legislature.
The prohibihoulsts have a majority In
the House and they believe that they will
be able to control the Senate During the
recent state primary there was test vote
of the strength OF the prohibition sentiment.
The total vote for state officers was SO, 4S2
and in the prohibition box there were 10 $50
votes. The number OF votes cast for prohi-
bition was 40 1853 and against it there were
so, 1873.
This result has caused several opponents
OF prohibition TO turn about and good
many representatives will vote for prohibi-
ton because the vote Of their counties has
been cast for it. Representative Blease OF
Newberry, who fought It tooth and toe nail
last year, will be one of its strongest advo-
Gates this time

PEMBROKE POINTERS.
Harvesting Nearly Over-No Thir
Party IN the County.

Party in the County.
| PEMBROKE, GA, Oct. 26.-Harvesting In
this section is nearly over. frequently a
| faint sound Of a shotgun is heard from the
distant woodlands, indicative Of the annual
sport Of farmers sons when the bulx of the
years work is done. There is scarcely a
man who has not gathered his crops with
the exception Of a little cotton and fully
nine-tenths OF that has been marketed
already. This is said by many 70 be the
smallest cotton crop known in decade. 1t
is estimated 70 be 90 per cent. snort Of last
years crop. This shortage Is accounted for
with two reasons: First, the acreage was
reduced about one-hRf, many not planting
any; second, the drought that occurred in
the spring delayed planting and the
intense summer heat on the tender
plants greatly dwarfed the stalk
thereby causing the bolls 20 mature and
open IN a very short time, which gave rise
to an early harvest, while the superabund-
ance of ram during aftergrowth destroyed
many forms and reduced the yield. Much
more sea island would have been made but
for the dryness which retarded planting, in
which case upland cotton was planted in
stead. Corn crops are comparatively very
good
There is no third party in this county;
nevertheless farmers, financially, are very
much depressed. but will depend for relief
upon the democracy. Many colored people
in the county will vote for Grover & eve-
land in the coming election. An article on

to the National Republican recalls an Incl
dent which converted several colored people
