simple reason that our news makers

pieces pretty well learned.

troupe is under way here at Frankville.
Prospects are very flattering. If you
doubt it ask the members of the /. o.

which place and time they will COM
plete their arrangements for chicken
pie supper, which they have an
nounced will be held in the M. E.
church parlors OH Thursday evening,
Jan. oath. We suppose this supper is
to show that the gentlemen are their
peers in getting up oyster suppers, that
they can Guido them in genuine
'old fashioned supper" A short en-
tertainment will be held in the church
preceding the supper which We are in
formed will be very interesting and
very amusing, somewhat of character
play.

FIGHTING LIQUORS SALE.
City of Charleston Joins state in
the Crusade.


the Crusade.
Charleston, S. c., Sept. 1.-THE long,
talked of and much anticipated contest
between the municipal authorities of
Charleston and the Illicit liquor traffic
has begun. The city council has rati-
fed the new liquor ordinance and the
administration of that law is about to
begin. 1t will be remembered that the
State Board OF Directors recently made
most bitter complaint that the city
of Charleston lent them no effective
aid in the administration of the dis
pensary law. They declared that the
city from one end TO the other was full
of blind tigers. While there appeared
nowhere on the municipal statue books
a direct prohibition of such traffic.
Mayor Smyth and Chief of Police
Boyle assured the directors and other
Charleston critics that such was not
the case, and that the city was willing
TO do anything that she could legally
do to further the administration of
any and all laws.
However. the State Board of Direc-
tors We're not willing to take this view
of the matter, and withheld from the
city and county their share of the dis
pensary profits. pending the adoption
of some law as that which has been
ratified by the city council. Not de-
string to antagonize the officers of the
dispensary, Charleston at once went
about making an ordinance such as
they desired to see enforced here. Ex-
cellent legal authorities were of the
opinion that such action would be I'M
constitutional. on the ground that the
city would be attempting to supercede
the state in authority, the Recorder of
Charleston not being able to impose
fine of more than $50. while the penal
ties provided in the dispensary laws
are very much heavier.
However that may be, Charleston has
gone ahead and adopted a dispensary
law of her own--in other words she has
declared that traffic in liquor, othel
than that recognized by the dispensary
law-is a niisdemeanor against the
peace and dignity of this municipality.
OF course no one doubts the purpose
of the Mayor and the Police Depart
ment to go ahead and enforce the new
ordinance. But just how much they win
accomplish remains to be seen. Old
inhabitants recalled the fact that be-
fore the war. notwithstanding the cir
curmstance that the sale of liquor to
slaves was punishable in the most rigid
and revolving manner-public chastise-
ment in the market place--plenty of
people were found who took that great
risk for the profit that there was in
the business. Owing to its location on
the water, the facilities for smuggling
contraband goods in to Charleston are.
of course. unsurpassed; and there are
plenty of people, advocates of the dis
pensary law, who are firmly convinced
that no statute, city or state, and no
officers, police or constabulary. will be
able to finally crush out the Illicit sale
of liquor in this city.

A PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
suffered by MIR. MoseIey--A New Kind
of Cotton.


Lyons, Ga, Sept. 11.--Mr. A. 5. Nose
ley of this place met with a terrible
accident yesterday while riding on
a log drawn on balance cart. In max
ing a turn he was thrown against a
tree, his leg catching between the log
and tree The flesh was torn from the
leg between the ankle and knee and
the bone crushed to atoms. The doc
tors fear that it will have to be am
plated.
Mr.. ]. p. Brown has what appears to
be a very prolific kind of cotton, the
seed of which he got in peculiar way.
Last spring. one year ago, his wife sent
to New York for some flower seeds.
Among the seed was one bearing a
long botanic name, which I do not re-
member. Anyhow, she planted it in her
flower garden, and instead of a flower
came up a cotton plant different from
any before seen in this county. The
stalk, branches, leaves and bolls are
a deep purple. The stalks are large
and heavily fruited. From the stalk
which grew in the flower garden last
summer he gathered six pounds of a
fine quality of green seed cotton. From
this seed he saved enough to plant four
rows about one and one-half acres
long. This cotton he will save the seed
from and by another year he will be
able to put some of IL on the market.

MORE TROUBLE FOR S. A. L.
Court Delivers an Opinion in the 60
Iumbia Park Matter.

Columbia, S. c., Sept. 1.-THE Sea-
board Air Line Railroad has continued
trouble with it's terminal in Columbia.
In the spring of 1899, when it was re-
ported that the road contemplated
the lease or purchase of Sidney Park,
certain property owners objected.
They attempted to get an Injunction
but both Circuit Court and Chief JUS
tice refused them. The case was then
referred to the master of this county
to take testimony, and at the recent
term was heard on it's merits for the
first time before Judge Gary.
Meanwhile the Seaboard had been
granted the lease for $4,000 and had
spent about a quarter of million dol
lars in getting into and out of the
park. The park as park. is ruined.
Now Judge Gary files his decision
sustaining the contention of the prop
erty owners, and saying the railroad
had no right to acquire the property
and the city no right to lease without
a special act of the Legislature, which
was not obtained. Inasmuch as IT
is impossible to put the property back
in it's original condition, Judge Gary
refused to grant the injunction prayed
for, but holds the citizens may obtain
money QdtndSeSi anu OIueES the mas
ter to take evidence as to such dam

LET FARMERS SAVE THEIR HAY.
Commissioner of Agriculture Says
This Is the Part of wisdom.

Ccmmissioner of Agriculture Says
This Is the Part of Wisdom.
Atlanta, Sept. 1.-THE monthly bull
letin of the department of agriculture
contains statements regarding the con-
dition of the crops in Georgia and the
care and cultivation of certain pro-
ducts. besides much information of in
terest to all farmers and others con-
cerned in the products of the farm.
Commissioner of Agriculture Stevens
devoted large space to talk to the
farmers on crop conditions. He espec-
tally urges the farmers to save all the
hay possible from their lands. The OBJ
ject of this, says the commissioner. is
because the recent drought in the
Western states, where much of the hay
used to feed stock in the Southern
states during the winter comes from,
has reduced the hay product Of the
West greatly, and it is probable hay
will be sold during the winter on the
Georgia market at as much as '$25 per
ton.

complained and that this condition eS-
listed prior to her alleged accident.

WANTS TO RENEW FIGHT.
Plant system Not Satisfied with Tax
Arbitration.

Atlanta, Sept. 11-Controller Gem
eral w. A. Wright is somewhat dis
tressed over what he regards as the
effort of the Plant System to reopen
the whole arbitration on the question
of its tax returns. He received a letter
to-day from Chisholm & Clay. general
counsel for the system, inclosing an
agreement which he was asked to sign,
looking to this end
Capt Wright refuses emphatically to
sign it. He says the arbitration has
= been practically concluded, with the
exception of the real estate and wharf
property of the system in Savannah,
and this is all that remains to be set
tied. He will stand on that basis.
When the question of this property
comes up Attorney General Terrill will
go to Savannah with Chairman T. c.
Crenshaw to represent the state.
