pleased with Little Rock. Mr.. W. H.
Hardin was struck with the height Of
some cotton on Mr.. w. S. Turner's
farm, on the Wylie place, and brought
a sample stalk to town and left it at his
office. It Is nine feet high. 1t Is of the
African limbless variety; it Is also boil
less, comparatively speaking, having
only 10 bolls. .... Mr.. Walter Lowry, Of
Lowrysville, returned to Erskine college
yesterday. He had been thinking Of
studying pharmacy, but decided to at
least postpone that for the present.
Quite a number of people from the vi
cinity of Rossville, were in town Tues
day in connection with the Harr1s''D
contested will case, which will proba-
bly, demand the attention Of the court
for at least day or two.......1t will be
reassuring to people all over the coun-
try, as it is gratifying to those more
Immediately concerned, to know that
after a thorough test, the state vete1i-
marian announces that he finds no
symptoms of glanders, either at Brice's
stables or at Mr.. Dickey's, in the coun-
try. Mr.. Shealy, assistant state veteri-
marian, spent nearly all Wednesday
night among the horses, preparing for
the final test, and his work was COM
pleted yesterday afternoon at O'CLOCK.
We asked him If he thought it probable
that the mule which Mr.. Brice had kill
ed could have had glanders, judging
from the contagiousness Of the disease
and the exposure of other animals. He
answered emphatically that he did not.
He said that of course he could not as
sert that it was not glanders, but the
disease Is very contagious, others OF
the animals had had the best opportu-
nifty to contract it, abundance OF time
had elapsed, and as they were all abso-
lutely free from infection, it SCENE
hardly possible that they could have
been exposed. He remarked that the
fear.of glanders was probably suggest
ed by the existence Of the disease IN
York county recently otherwise he sus-
pected glanders would never have been
thought of. Veterinarians Cornwell
and Love, who saw the sick mule, said
there were indications Of CHAMBERS, but
it was impossible to know certainly
without a test, and they advised that
every precaution be taken. However,
Mr.. Brice is going to have rack, trough
partitions, and all wood work in the
apartment where the mule was kept,
burnt, and the brick walls whitewashed
and thoroughly disinfected with car
bolic acid.

Ledger, September 2S: Lawrence
Truesdel, the Negro boy committed to
Jail last Tuesday for burglary and lar
ceny, has made full confession. He
committed the burglary at Mr.. Cloyd's,
and also frightened the household at
Mrs. Tillman's by attempting to open
blind. He at first implicated Frank
Lowery; but Frank easily proved his
innocence and was released from GUS
tody. Failing in an attempt to impli-
cate another boy he finally admitted
that he was by himself and that alone
he had done all things of which he was
accused. He will plead guilty and get
the full penalty of the law-life impris-
onment.. Mr.. Waddy c. Thomson
rendered his resignation as mayor OF
the town, yesterday. On account OF
the pressure Of other business he felt
that he could not give town matters the
attention required for the balance OF
the term. The resignation Is to take
effect October 18th. Mr.. T. K. Cum
ningham has been chosen mayor pro
tenn. for the remainder Of the term.
Mr.. Thomson has served as mayor for
nearly six years, and no one can deny
but that he has made a good and ef-
ficient officer. On Friday last, while
Leslie, the little 4-year-old son Of Mr..
H. R. Denton, who lives three miles
east of town, was sitting on the door
step, a strange dog ran up and bit him
several times on the hand and arm and
then ran off through the cotton patch,
swapping at everything that touched
him. Mrs. Denton sent for Mr.. Denton,
who was off some distance from the
house. On his arrival he brought the
child to a physician in town, who syr-
inged the wounds and advised that he
carry the child to Charlotte and have
the maidstone applied. He did so the
following day and returned home on
Monday. The stone adhered for some
time to the wounds on the hand.......
Died, September II, 1901, Mrs. Millie
A. Adams, widow Of the late James
Adams, of the White Bluff section. aged
about 6S years. She leaves four child
rem surviving her: Jas. D. Adams, Mrs.
Sarah Estridge. Mrs. r. ]. Estridge and
Miss Emma Adams. The excursion
did not run to Charleston Thursday, as
was expected and there were a few
badly disappointed people. The parties
who were to run the excursion saw
that they could not do it without in
curing a much heavier loss than they
would by not running 1t, so they for
feited the S110 they had been compelled
to pay the railroad company to secure
the train. Their contract called for the
payment of several hundred dollars
more before the train would move. The
amount from the sale Of tickets was
not near sufficient to pay it. Inquiry
at other points elected the fact that
very few tickets had been sold any
where, so the managers concluded to
refund the money to those who had
purchased tickets. 1t seems that some
eight or ten failed to get their money
