A Curiosity in Corn.

DR. Miles Walker showed the
reporter day or two ago re-
markable freak of nature in the
shape of a stalk of corn that is not
more than five inches in height
and which matured a reasonably
perfect ear. 1t is the result of
M experiment that DR. Walker has
been conducting for several years
He seeks to produce q cross be-
tween sugar corn and the ordinary
field corn, for table purposes.
His idea Is to get something that
is not quite so sweet as the sugar
corn; but sweeter than the ordi-
nary field varieties. He has sue
ceeded in getting both kinds of
corn on the same ear; but as vet
he has been unable to get the hy-
brldlZatlon into the separate
grains. A stalk of corn only five
inches high with an ear of corn on
it, however, is a curiosity that few
people who saw DR. Walker s
specimen said they have never be-
fore seen anything of the kind on
so small n scale. .-Yorkvile Ed

Wit of The Indian.

There was lawyer in the In.
dian country who had none too
good a reputation for honesty.
One of the aborigines employed
him to do a little legal business.
1t was done to the clients salts
faction, the fee duly demanded.
GA receipt isn't necessary, :"
the lawyer said.
"But | want it," replied the
red man. There was some .reu-
ment, and the attorney finally de
manded his reason.
"Slnce becoming a Christian /
have been very careful in all nv
dealings, that may be ready for
the Judgment" answered the
brave sententiously, 'and when
the time comes | don't want to
go to the bad place to get my re
ceipt from you"
The receipt was made out and
delivered promptly.

Themselves. Congress
sional Results.

Columbia, S &, Aug 2S.-The
Democratic primary in this State
today has been attended by many
surprises. The issue has been dis
pensary or prohibition. Col
Hoyt will probably lead Nc
Sweeney by 10, 600 votes.
Senator Tillman came into the
campaign and fought Col Hoyt.
AS 4 result Of this interference
Tillman's name has been scratched
10y 20, 900 voters today, although
he has no opponent.
A surprise was the large vote
received by j Ii Tillman for
Lieut. Governor. He is a nephew
of the Senator. He will run it
over with Col John r Sloan.
State Treasurer Zimmerman is
defeated by Capt Il III Jennings.
All other State officers succeed
themselves. The race for Con-
gress shows Tal5ert, Stokes aud
Elliott succeed themselves with,
out opposition. Finley will be
beaten by Strait; Stanyarne Will
son by JOS L johnson and James
Norton by Lieut. Gov Scarbor.
ough. 1t is evident that Latimer
will succeed himself against two
opponents.
These calculations are based
upon reports received at State
headquarters and are not com.
plete, but are evidently Indicative
of final results.

European Opinion Tends to
Partition
Chinese Situation Viewed From
Standpoint of Diplomacy.

London, Aug 2S, $50 NJ
The allies, resuming aggressive
operations, have taken the district
west of Pekin. This statement,
based on Chinese authority, is
cabled from Shanghai. From the
same place comes the further state
ment that Lii Hung Chang has
wired the empress dowager at
Hsian Flu rcquestieg the arrest of
Prince Tuan and the disarmament
of the Boxers, in order to give
him an opening for negotiations
with the powers.
The illuminations. projected at
Shanghai in celebration of the re-
lief of Pekin have been abandoned,
lest they should cause a native
outbreak.
"Evidence has been received
here" says the Shanghai co..
respondent of The Standard, ego
ing to show that Gen Yung Lu
was the real author of tho anti,
foreign outbreak-the empress
dOwager, Prince Tuan and the
others all having been persuaded
by him to take an extreme attitude.
while he stood aside and awaited
developments"
The American refugee mission.
aries in Annoy, according to the
Hong Kong correspondent of The
Daily Mail, are anxious to return
to the interior; but the United
States consul has forbidden them
to do SO and urges them to 60 to
the Philippines or to return to
America.
Shanghai advices 20 The Daily
News say that consular opinion
there looks upon japanese action
in the landing of troops at Annoy,
despite the protests of the consuls,
as similar to that of Russia at
New Chwang, the whole indicat
ing a tendency to the par ttition Of
the empire.
"Russisn journals agree" says
the Moscow correspondent of The
Standard" 'that it is impossible
to deal with China in the spirit of
revenge, as suggested by Emperor
William. They believe that meth
ods less drastic can better accom-
pllsh the ends of Russia in Man>
churia. The question would be
satisfactorily settled to Russian
minds by the seizure of the north
ern provinces"

Greenville, Aug ga son of
John Gibson, prominent farmer,
was killed by lightning this after
noon. The boy was in peach
tree on his fathers place, several
miles above town, when the fatal
stroke came. His brother was
badly shocked. 1t is a curious
coincidence that about two years
ago another son of Mr. Gibson was
killed by lightning near the same
spot.
