The oil mill at Davis Station is no
dream, but genuine reality. The en-
tire stock has been subscribed and con-
tracts have been signed for the ma
chinery. This will give Clarendon two
mills for the manufacture of cotton seed
meal. We hope they will not go into q
trust. and give our farmers the benefit
of getting their meal cheaper than
mills from abroad will furnish it.

The cotton crop in the Santee section
of this county has been badly damaged
and in some places it is estimated that
not over one-third of the crop will be
made. We have heard of one mans
crop in St. Marks township that IS al
most a total loss and another in St.
Paul who neither spares time nor
money on his lands, that will not make
over one-third crop. This is not en-
couraging news for those who depend
on the cotton crop. The tobacco crops
are in very fine condition and if the
prices are fair our tobacco planters will
be in better condition than those who
plant cotton.
One Minute Cough Cure is the only

AS an example of what the devils
workshop can turn out we give our
readers a report which reached us last
Saturday morning. We presume the
starter of the report had been reading
Sergeant A. c.. Davis letters in The
TINES from the Philippines and hop
ing to create sensation he gave 1t out
that "Coke" Davis has deserted the
United States army and accepted
commission as general in the Filipino
army. The author of this wonderful
piece of startling news must have
thought that ''Coke' Davis was can
didate for some Office to be voted for IN
the coming primary.

Congressman Norton, although busy
looking after his candidacy, is not neg

ments relating to the delivery OF rural
mail to parties in different parts OF the
county, with view OF getting the nee

of roads. distances, location OF postof-

formation is sent in, Congressman Nor

The D. W. Alderman Sons Co. had
quite a large confagration at their
mills at Alcolu last Sunday. About :
O'Clock in the afternoon fire broke out
in the boiler shed, caused, it is sup
posed, from spark from one OF the
smoke stacks, and, although there was
watchman on the premises and first
class arrangement to extinguish fire,
the flames were so fierce and rapid that
nothing could be done, and about sS,,,
600 worth OF property was destroyed
without one cent of insurance. The
property destroyed was the boiler
Shed, machine shops, dust house and
part Of the conveyor. The Alder,
mans are careful business people and
they being without insurance is sur
prise to those who know their thorough
business methods, but it is explained IN
