A LARGE acreage of ground will be
cultivated in western and central Kan
sas this year by farm mortgage com.
panies which have taken in the lands
on foreclosure. This will be q great
benefit to the country, as it win in
crease rainfall by increased cultivation;
will put the lands in more salable
condition, and will demonstrate to the
world that not half that has been told
about the worthlessness Of Kansas Sc
curities is true. The mortgage COM
panies which last year had their lands
in wheat found that they got well paid
for their venture, and will go into ag-
riculture on a still larger scale.

look for any great catastrophy to befall
the state or the people in it; the sun

Pop Extravaganza.

In the republican county platform
there looms up brilliant plank charg-
ing the populist officials with extrava-
gance and pointing to a raise in the
tax levy as sample. Happy thought.
Great discovery! Wise indeed the in
tellectual giant that discovered this
great mares nest full of pumpkins!
But listen:
The peoples party record in Barber county
Is one OF extravaganza. coupled with broken
promises of reform and outrageous abuse of
power, while the assessed valuation of our
property is greater by $4,000 than IN 1892 yet
there has been an increase of II mills in our
tax levy, thus increasing the burdens of taxa
ton instead of lessening them.
There is something ponderous, the
result Of mighty cerebral evouiions.
such as only the committee on resolu-
tions of that mighty convention could
produce. Bat lets look at a few figures

Deafness Can Nnt he Cnred

by local applications, as they can not reach the
diseased portion of the ear, There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
hamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is intIamed
you have rumbling sound, or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to Its normal
condition, hearing will Re destroyed forever;
aine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any

Judge Hudson's rest-.ining order
against Floyd and others, forbidding
them to open a dispensary In the town Of
Darlington, was carried to Justice Pope,
Of the Supreme Bench, by the Attorney
General, and the Justice granted an order
staying and superseding the order issued
by Judge Hudson. The effect Of Justice
Pope's action was to nullify the order of
Judge Hudson and to allow the opening
of the dispensary at Darlington. The
dispensary was accordingly opened, but
on the Oath inst. tho dispenser and
Board of Control were served with an
order from Judge Hudson to show cause
before him on Friday next why they
should not be punished for contempt of
Court ia disregarding his injunction.
Judge Hudson evidently regarded the
unusual interference from Justice Pope
as an over-reaching of his authority and
he took steps to enforce the order which
Justice Pope sought to set aside. The
case Is one Of much interest, and the
vigor with which Judge Hudson stands
to his convictions must command the
respect and admiration Of even those who
so much hope to see his decision over-rul-
ed. This able Judge also refused to grant
an order of injunction against one James
from keeping and maintaining place
for the sale of Intoxicating liquors in the
town of Darlington, or to grant an order
to search his premises, and to abate the
nuisance alleged to have been created by
him. He bases his decisions in these
matters upon the fundamental law of the
State, and declares that the constitution
does not grant such powers az the Dis
pensary Act has sought to give to the
Judges for the enforcement Of its provis-

A press dispatch from Pittsburgh re-
ports that every plate glass factory in the
United States is closed and that indefi-
nitely, and that 10000 men are idle as a
result. The cause of this disastrous state
Of affairs is attributed to over production,
tight money market and the arbitrary
methods Of tho plate glass trust. Much
distress has been caused among the en-
ployas by being thrown out Of employ
ment. It is matter Of great regretto BEE
this branch Of industry in its entirety sue
cunlb to.the stress Of the times. It Is
painful to contemplate the sore straits to
which many Of this army of employees
will be driven by the misfortune. The
mere influence of the closing of these
establishments will be in measure per-
niogous. It is worthy Of note that the
present occasion is the first in the history
OF the trade that all plate glass factories
in the country have closed their doors.

they do not agree as to what should be

to have degraded silver and to have mado

Congress could and should deal with both
questions at once.

Lively Times in Laurens.

LAuRENs, s. c.. July 2O.-Rumor has
it that, during last week, Senator Irby
,and Congressman Shell met at the house
of Col. J. D. NJ. Shaw, of Governor Till
mans personal staff. In all alteration
commencing about the "Craddock"
and Farley letter, blows were ex-
changed. The particulars have failed to
get.
LAURENs, July 22.-The Irby-shell
incident was an accidental meeting
at Col. J. D. NJ. Shaw's residence. Sem
ator Irby asked Congressman Shell if he
saw the Farley letter before publication.
Shell said he did. Irby then asked him
if he endorsed it. She'll responded that
/ he did, in part. Whereupon 1rby struck
Shell, who was seated, overturning him
and the chair. Irby drew knife and
She'll picked up chair. Parties inter-
posed and the incident closed.
A gentleman who arrived in Colum-
bia yesterday from Laurens tells story
of the IrbyShell encounter, which be
claims to have secured from interested
parties. 1t is merely given for what it is
worth, the State having no means OF in
vestigating it further.
He says that on the night before the
difficulty Shaw sent to Congress man
Suell 3 uOus63 duu toIQ ultu w COAo w
see him-that he wanted to see him on q
very important matter. It was very dark,
and Congressman She'll, being somewhat
suspicious, did not go, but waited till
after daylight, and then went. After he
had been there little while, Irby came
in. Shaw, in admitting 1rby, went out
himself. Irby at once asked Shell il
Farley had shown him his article before
it was published. Shell told him that
Gen. Farley had done so. Irby then
asked him If he approved fit. Shell re-
piled that he approved of that portion
that referred to what "Craddock" had
written. Irby, so the story goes, then
hit Shell, and drew dirk, making for the
Congressman. o. G. Cunningham, who
was present, drew pistol and pointing
it at Irby, told him that if he advanced
he would have to fire.
The relator states also that Congress-
man Shell considers that he owes his life
to Cunningham. He states also that
Shell s'friends believe that it was an at
tempt to assassinate Shell.
AS stated above, this story is merely
given as it is related, and its correctness
is not vouched for.
