CROPS RUINED.

New York, July l2.-There was a
scene of great excitement in both the
wheat and corn markets at New York
today, trade aggregating one of the
largest days totals in year or more,
especially as to corn. Prices jumped
25s during the day in corn, making
e15 advance for the week. Orders
poured into the market so fast that
brokers could scarcely execute them at
the prices desired, and the usually
small crowd around the corn ring was
increased to such an extent that at
times it almost rivalled that in the
wheat pit. The farmers have taken
the bill side into their hands, and in
face of heavy realizing on the part Of
professionals have kept prices going
until the cry is for 60 cent corn IN
Chicago Already prices are so high
in the southwest that farmers are feed
ing their stock with wheat, and IN
less rain comes very soon, many fear
only half the corn crop will be gath
cred. where only a month ago looked
as if one of the largest yields on
record would be harvested. Wheat,
from being friendless. has suddenly
doomed also, and rose strongly.

Col. r. D. Lee May Enter Race.

It has been stated by close per-
sonal and political friend of Col. R.
D. Lee that he was considering the
question of becoming a candidate for
Congress and that he may decide to
enter the race. If Col. Lee does enter
the contest he will make it interesting
for the other candidates whoever they
may be. He has strong following
in this county and will poll large
vote even within Mr.. Altamont Moses
and Judge Buchanan in the race with
him. Col Lee is we'll known throughout
the State as one of the ablest and most
successful members of the bar of
South Carolina, and as a member of
the Legislature some years ago, as a
member of the Constitutional Conven-
tion and as a member of the State
Executive Committee Of the Demo
cratic party has formed an extensive
acquaintance with the political leaders
of the various sections of the State
that would count in his favor in con-
test for a seat in Congress. He is a
stump speaker Of ability and can make
vigorous and telling fight, as his op-
ponents in the factional contests in
this county in 1892 -'94 had ample rea-
son to know.

The New State Prison,

Columbia, July 15.-The new main
building at the State penitentiary has
beenypractically completed. 1t is one
of thesshandsomest and best equipped
prison buildings in the south. In
short time the concrete floors will be
completed, and the work will be done.
Last week most of the convicts we're
moved from the old buildings, where
they have been qlartered since last fall,
and they are now as comfortably fixed
as a set of prisoners could be. The
new building has all modern and
up-to-date equipment and conven-
fences. as well as being as secure as
it is possible to make it.

S400,000 Risk on $4,000 Fund.

The State of South Carolin, through
its sinking fund commission insur-
ance department, is doing considerable
insurance. The general public hardly
has an adequate idea of the volume of
insurance that is going through the
hands of the sinking fund commission.
a great deal of the county insurance
has not yet been placed with the State
authorities, because of the fact that a
large proportion of the policies were
for long terms and they have not yet
expired.
The State has not yet met with any
losses, and until that time comes, and
it is sure to come sooner or later, all
is well. The insurance receipts, Of
course, make up very small reserve
fund, and unless the losses hold up for
some time the funds will be in bad
shape with any large amount Of loss.
The total receipts for premiums thus
far is 81, 675, and on this amount of
capital the State has one policy, on
the State Hospital for the Insane,
which by itself calls for 1912, 7sO. In
caseee any losses should be incurred the
State would no doubt make the losses
good, especially as a large class Of
State and county insurance is compul-
sorry. The State has fixed a rate of
half of the regular rate at which
the policies were formerly written.

PlsGAH NEWS.

Pisgah. July 16.-Our community
has been refreshed with several show
ers of rain, Saturday and Sunday,
which has helped all around. The dry
weather for the last two weeks has
brought the crops (where it was posi-
BILE to do so) out of their sobby state
and in this section they look very well.
A few her e say they have better crops
than last year but from here they look
as if third or a half, is all that can
be made. Wherever it was possible to
clean them, it has been done. The
fruit is rotting and dropping OF the
trees. Blackberries in abundance.
Base ball is all the rage Ehere with
the colored people, the whites have
quit the game. A notable game was
played here between the Pisgah Club
and the Spring Hill club last Saturday
afternoon and the Pisgah club won
Dewey victory over Spring Hill which
had never been defeated in nine years,
so am informed.
The N. ". R. R. has already helped
the trade of Sumter from here. We
find her merchants very accommodate
ing and liberal, s.and as such will
command great deal of the trade
from this section in the future that
has heretofore gone to other places.
Miss Francis DIXON, an aged lady
died here last week and was buried
at Pisgah church of which she was
member, afterz services by Rev. Mr..
Kenney. The pastor Mr.. Crouch lives
at Westville, too far to attend burials,
hence the neighboring ministers at
tend to that work I think Miss Dix
on was one of the charter members
of the church.
The death of DR.. Stokes was receiv-
ed with sorrow here. No man in my
knowledge was ever more devoted to
the interest of the people of the 7th
District than he was In all my busi-
ness with him, he was ever prompt.
We may find another man to take his
plce, but not to fill it. Pleasant to
come in contact with he worked for
US all to the last. His death is not
only loss to his State, but to the ma
ton. Like Senator Earle he was cut
off at time when. to US, it seemed he
could do the most good But these
things are not for Us to know. Peace

1t is stated on the authority OF the
utmost reliability that Mr.. E. D.
Smith, of Lynchburg, formerly mem
Der of the House Of Representatives,
has positively decided to enter the
race for Congress and the formal an
nouncement of his candidacy mey be
expected any day. The informant OF
the writer stated that Mr.. Smith had
told number Of his friends that
he had decided to be candidate and
that he would make a vigorous cam
paign. Mr.. Smith developed great
Strength when he was candidate for
the Legislature and was elected at the
head of the ticket. He retired from
the Legislature voluntarily and it is
probable that in the race for Congress
his friends would rally to his support
as they did when he was a candidate
for the Legislature.

Henry TalIcn, of Lynchburg, Fatally
Wounded in Darlington County.

Henry Talon. of Lynchburg, son
OF Mr. ". a. Talon, was seriously,
perhaps fatally injured in fight at
Steve Lanes Darlington County on
Sunday.
Henry Talon is young man about
25 years old and has been married a
few years. On Sunday he took his
wife over into Darlington to visit her
parents and while he was at Steve
Lanes house got into difficulty with
his father-in-law, man named Hicks.
Hicks struck him on the head with a
heavy piece Of iron, fracturing the
skull. a piece Of skull about the size
of a silver dollar was crashed IN and
the pressure on the brain rendered
Talon unconscious and the doctors
attending him have little hope of his
The cause of the fight has not been
ascertained, but it is stated that
Hicks claims that he struck Talon
with the iron because Talon made a
motion as if to draw knife or other
weapon.

conquests Of the Mayas.

News came from Mexico last month
that Chan Santa Cruz, the last
stronghold of the independent Mayas
Of Yucatan, has at last been taken by
the federal troops. This marks the
end of 80 years struggle in which
this remnant Of a once powerful nation
has been struggling against the op-
pressive rule Of Mexico, at times
fighting as aggressively and fercely as
did their ancestors against the Span
lard, only to succumb at last. They
have held territory as their own into
which no white man dared venture
without obtaining the consent of their
chiefs. and their city has long been
called the mysterious city of Yucatan.
where, it was said, they still preserved
the rites and customs of their fore
fathers
The Mayas, of all the races inhabit-
ing the American continent, had at
tained the highest state Of civilization
upon their discovery by the Spaniards,
and fought the hardest to maintin it.
One peculiarly of the Mayas recog
nized by all travellers in Yucatan is the
great preponderance of women. AT
feast given at hacienda in the
northern part of Yncatan, in an assem-
blage numbering over 2,000 people,
but 700 men were found. It has been
estimated that five females are born
to every two males, yet the Mayas are
homogeneous, and their wives are
kindly treated and are never required
to either carry heavy burdens or work
in the field.
OF late years the Mexican govern
ment has been more or less energeti-
cally pursuing the conquest of the in
dependent Maya country, the objective
point of her army being Chan Santa
Cruz, the stronghold. Now that city
has fallen. Many Of the inhabitants
have been killed in its defense, and
the survivors who have not been cap
tured have retreated further into the
wilderness or have sought refuge in
British Honduras.
