all the local dealers were supplied
with big stocks; but now everybody
is out. 1t is principally on account of
the fine peach crop. Two weeks ago
peaches sold at rs and 80 cents a
bushel. That was when preserving
jars were plentiful but during the
present week some sales have been
made as low as 25 cents bushel.
Choice peaches, however, ought. still
to be worth not less than so cents.

How Finley Stands.
Yorkville correspondence of The
News and Courier: "It is generally
conceded that Mr.. Finley, of York,
will be in the.second race, and there
is wide difference of opinion as to
who the other man will be. York will
support Finley this year more unani-
mously than ever before. Hundreds
who have never voted for him in the
former contests will do so this year
because they have become convinced
by his past career that he is not two
for-a-nickel politician, who has no 9TH
er motive in seeking Office than to Sc
cure an easy job at fat salary. His
record shows that he is remarkably
free from factional prejudice and real
ICES that those who differ from his fac
ton, if he can be classed as belong
ing to faction, are as much entitled
to their opinions as the other side.
York backs Finley not because he is
fine speaker, but because he is possess
sed of number of other valuable
traits that are far more important to
those whom a congressman is supposed
to represent"

young physician living in Ebenezer,
died Thursday morning at 5 o'clock
from the effects of an overdose of
morphine administered by himself.
DR.. Fewell, late yesterday afternoon,
complained of feeling very badly, and
spoke to his wife of it, saying that he

town, but that it hadn't relieved his
pain, and that he would take some
morphine for it. Pouring out some in
his hand, he swallowed it. In a short
time he realized that he had taken too
much, and sent for his father, who is
also a physician. His father gave him
strong coffee, and did everything that
could be done, as did other physicians
who were called; but by 9 o'clock he
was in a stupor, from which he was
never awakened, breathing his last at
5 o'clock this morning. DR.. Fewell
was young man of about 80 years of
age, married and having several chill
dren. For some years he has prac-
ticed his profession in Ebenezer, where
he was born and reared, and at his
death was enjoying successful prac-
