A Groom and His Grip.

Rather an uneQue case was tried
Monday at Newberry. The Observer
says: The court was engaged the
greater part of the day in the trial of
the case of Rev. L. P. Boland of Beth
Eden, Mississippi, against the South
ern railroad for Sl,999.99 damages.
On the afternoon Of the 29th day Of
May, 1901, Mr.. Boland, who had just
completed his course at the Luthern
theological seminary in Charleston,
went to the Southern depot in that
city and left his valise, taking check
for the same and paying ten cents for
its storage over night. 1t was to go
out of the city the 30th on the early
morning train, which was also to carry
Mr.. Boland to Springfield. Orange
burg county, where he was to get mar
ried that afternoon. In the raliSe
was his wedding suit. Wher! Mr.. Bo-
land reached Springfield and presented
his check to the agent the yaliSe was
not forthcoming, and he had to get
married in his second best suit. Hence
this suit. The valiSe came in all
right the next day; but the damage
had then been done, and Mr.. Boland
estimated the injury to his feeling at
one cent less than $4,000. The jury
gave the plaintiff Sl30 damages.

An Important Ruling.

The postmaster general has issued
an order providing that after October
l, 1902, each person desiring the rural
free delivery service must erect at his
cost and by the roadside, so that the

mail box conforming to the specitica-
tion approved and published by the
department.. Such boxes as conform
to the requirements may be stamped
by the manufacturer, Approved by
the postmaster general and will
then come within the protection Of
the law passed at the last session of
congress, making it criminal offence
to tanper with mail receptacles on
rural free delivery routes. The order
provides that the same box must not
be used for more than one family.
except in the case of near relatives Or
those residing in the same house, and

ments Of today'S order. Agents, in

Cotton GinnerieS.

A census bulletin relating to cotton
ginning has been issued covering the
industry up to 1900, when the census
was taken.
There has been a universal demand
among the ginners for the collection
and publication Of these statistics at
more frequent intervals during the
marketing season. In recognition Of
this, there was incorporated in the
congressional enactment creating a
permanent census bureau provision
for the collection and publication Of
statistics of the cotton crop at inter-
walls during the ginning season. This
is now being done in South Carolina
and other cotton growing states. The
statistics have been compiled by Mr..
Daniel c. Roper, of this state, and
they convey some interesting infor-
nation.
The number Of ginneries in the
state last year were 3,0lS, being a
decrease of $50 as compared with
1899. Georgia has the largest num-
Der, 4,793, being followed by Texas,
Alabama and Mississippi, this state
coming next. The average number
Of bales ginned in each ginnery Of the
state were 243, while Indian territory
had an average Of $50, Texas 613.
Georgia 293, Mississippi 30S, North
Carolina lis.
The cost Of ginning bale in South
Carolina was for square bale S1.29
and a round bale 81. In Georgia the
cost for the square bale was Sl.26
and the round bale 80 cents. The
average cost in the whole country was
$3.50 for square bale and sl.75 for
round bale.
With 4,514 active ginneries in 1899,
or 1872 per cent. Of the number report
ed for the United States, Texas handl-
ed PIG per cent. of the entire Ameri-
can crop Of 1899, expressed in COM
mercial bales, while Georgia, with T.
729, or 16 per cent. Of the entire
numbers Of the United States, handl-
ed only 1874 per cent. of the crop.
The ginneries east Of the Mississippi
river handled $40 per cent. from the
crop Of 1899: 47.4 per cent. from the
crop of 1900, and 53.2 per cent. from
the crop Of 1901.
In this connection, there is a table
showing the quantity of cotton ginned
in each county Of the cotton states for
1901. Here are some Of the facts as to
this state: Orangeburg $3.50 Ander-
son 10, ,6S3. Sumter 34,093. These are
the largest, the other counties ranging
from $1,000 up. Georgetown ginned
only 1,212 bales Beaufort 2,76l, Horny
6.0lS. Richland {. .S3S

The lereeS helow Quincy are in the
same situation. except that they are
over and less firm.
THE DEVASTATION APPALLING
Opposite Quincy in Missouri, is still
anDther center Of special devastation.
which is appalling. North II miles to
LaGrange and south to HOlton, large
prairies are well under water, reaching
from the Illinois bluff to the Missouri
bluffs III least ten miles. LeveeS has
tlly thrown around farms are diSap-
pfarlng in fierce current rushing
IRON above through the dam Of the
Burlington bridge, carrying everything
before it. Lone Tree. prairie. ten miles
square. is deserted. the population
having fed to Quincy, and the bluffs
on the Missouri side from which they
watch the complete destruction.
Around LaMotte. Silverton, Busch
station, Clemens, and Ashburg, north
OF Hannibal. there is more wheat than
at other places and all in the shock
is washed away. The chief crop there
is corn, however, and there is the
same ruin as at other places.
In the vicinity of Quincy and
Hannibal there is much unnecessary
loss on account OF the peculiar condi-
tions OF the flood. \ smaller flood be-
gan to subside, when warnings from
the Keokuk weather bureau observer
were received unheeded, as being
after the fact, when actually it was
before the new and greater food.
Levees protecting the Missouri bot
tom between keokuk and Quincy
stood the strain of today's flood which
failed tooverAow them. The Egyptian
levee is still several inches above the
DeS MoincS river, which is nnw STA
tionary here at its mouth. Reports
from Ottumwa show fall of two
feet. The only threatening indications
tonight are heayey clouds at Oska-
loosa. Unless heavy rains shall come,
the Dcs MoineS Gill begin to fall hele
tomorrow. The situation is much
brighter The Mississippi here shows
a stage Of l5.4 feet, the highest since
1897. and is still rising, but not as fast
as it was this morning. The crest of
the Mississippi rise probably will pass
here tomorrow. Great damage has al
ready been done, but the worst prob
ably is over.
