TOBAcco PAYS HANDSOMELY.
Mr.. James D. Evans Realizes $40 Net
On Six Acres.

M. James D. Evans, of Spring Hill
was in the city yesterday afternoon
on his way home, from Timmonsvllle,.
where he had been to sell part OF
his tobacco crop. He sold on the
Timmonsville market yesterday l,673
pounds, the prices ranging from 8 to
90 cents per pound, the average price
realized. for scrap and all, being 175A
cents per pound. Mr.. Evans planted
six acres in tobacco and he has already
realized from his crop s740 over and
above all warehouse charges, freight
and other expenses of marketing.
For the unsold remainder or his crop
he expects to obtain between Sl0O and
$50 which will bring the net proceeds
from his six acre. crop up to $50 or
$500. The total amount expended in
growing and curing the crop was about
S125. This includes every item OF
expense, Fertilizers, labo.f etc. The
net profit made by Mr.. Evans on six
acres Of tobacco was S715 at the lowest
estimate, an average net profit per
acre Of s119. 16.
Mr.. Evans is we'll pleased with his
experience. with tobacco and after hav-
ing planted it as a regular crop for
several years isssatisfed that it is tho
most prof table crop farmer can grow
in this county. -

caught in the fiery path and at mid
night it is known that 12 people have
perished and the fatalities may reach
90. The entire Hogg- -Swayne tract,
comprising one of the largest sections
in the oil fields, will in all probability
be burned to the ground, 20 or more
of the large derricks have been de-
stroyed by the flames. At this hour
the fire is spreading and the property
loss will be heavy. Thesentire oil field
presents a brilliant spectacle as the
flames grow brighter and brighter.
Up to l O'Clock it is estimated that
so derricks have been destroyed and
over 100 are still burning. It is said
that the tanks of the Hogg- g-Swayne
syndicate are imperilled and the tract
seems doomed.
Reports as to- the estimated loss
Of life are conflicting, report from
Austin, which was received there by
long distance telephone, places the
loss Of life a 20 persons, but ihe re-
port cannot be confirmed at this
hour. From this city the fire looks
worse than the recent fire OF several
weeks ago.

Mace themselves Ia position where
they cannot extend help to the anthra-

The Pennsylyanians are drunk with
the power that money has given

terms for the settlement of the coal
strike except such as they dictate.
They openly and contemptuously snub-
bed President Roosevelt and rejected
his profered mediation in way that
told him palmer than words that he
was meddling with things that did not
concern him and with conditions that
ne was powerless TO alter. The coal
harons may hold the whip hand now,
but shat they do is due only to the
respect for law and order and property
rights that still hold the miners in
check. If the miners are goaded too
much, if the oppression of the mine
owners is carried too far anarchy will
prevail in the mining regions and the
coal barons will be wholly responsible
for all the ills that follow.

Pls6AH NEWS NOTES.

Pisgah, Oct. IA heavy rain fell
here Sunday. It will help the late
crops and gardens. Since the rains
commenced in August, the seasons
have been fine On the young crops. A
good colored planter planted on zoat
land in June, side by side, corn, cot
ton, potatoes and sorghum, -FOUR kinds,
and has good crops of each. This
shows the wonderful productiYeness OF
our soil when properly cultivated and
manured TO make crops so late. Peas,
are better than was expected short
time ago. The heavy August rains in
jured them, but they put On new
growth, and are now doing very well,
blossoming and bearing right on.
May cotton, is the best this year, as
it stood the droughts better tran
April cotton.
The gins are hollefing for more
cotton, but ii. goes in like summer
clouds, few, and far between.
The many friends here Of Mr.. Samuel
Boykin, deeply sympathize with
him in the burning of his gin house,
near Boykln's last week with large
quantity of cotton Of his ewn and
neigh hbors, and new machinery. Such
losses are felt, and felt heavy. 1t
seems to have caught from the engine
room, at night after stopping ginning
about 10 p. m.
Mr.. j. Z. ellis has erected a gin
house, and the people here can get
their cotton ginned without hauling
so far. Messrs. Eddie Capell and
O'NeiI Burkett, are helping him.
Rev. j. G. Crouch preached a fine
and practical sermon, at Pisgah
Church on Sunday last. His theme
was murmuring.''
I notice that number Of stores and
shops sell goods on Sunday. It strikes
me that man with proper self-re-
spect would not desecrate the Sabbath
day in that way for the sake of a few
cents or dollars either. The thing
has got to be quite common and prac-
ticed by those whose position in life
should be bar to such actions.
There is more laWlessness in the coun
try than have ever seen. Be it a
shame on every man who acts that
way. Such people should be treated in
the way they richly deserve with
supreme contempt and dose of law.
The dwelling house of Mrs. j. Il.
Mcleod is nearing completion. It is

would be a time during the convention
when measures that had been sneaked
into the convention would become part
Of the organic law Of Connecticut. 1t was
understood that he had reference to some
resolutions introduced by Waller. This
Is the way Gov. Waller replied:

Of these measures is aimed against the
