THE FOOLISH WOLF.

THE FOOLISH WOLF.
[George Fitch in Nonpareil.l
The wolf is such a foolish beast:
He's not we'll versed in worldly lore;
He scorns the rich mans savory feast
And hangs around the poor mans
door.
The fragrant hint of ducks and quail
Come to his nose on every hand;
Yet in disdain he turns his tail
And at the howell takes his stand
Would he but raid the rich mans
plates
The wolf would feed on many prize,
And yet before the shack he waits
With iolling tongue and hungry eyes.
Methinks If some lean wolf should be
Let in the home he turks before
He'd quail before the sights he'd see
And stink away forever more.
CITEAPNESS LOST HIM MONEY.
Shenandoah SENTINEL
Severan boon companions were re-
counting little stories in the drug
store the other evening, when George
Jay called TO mind an experience the
late Burlington Agent West had with
a man who was looking for a bargain.
The party rushed into the depot one
morning. and throwing down a ten
dollar bill said, What is the fare to
Des Moines?" The agent replied and
the shrewd one burst out with "Oh
you're off. i only paid s2.25 last May
Meantime the agent had reached out
and raked in the ten dollar bill and
then eying his customer closely. he
asked, Are you sure you only paid two
dollars and quarter for tickle; to
Des Moines last May?' You bet your
life am" was the emphatic reply.
..All right then. I was just short the
difference between S225 and the reg
ular fare that day and if you are the
fellow who beat me. I'll just take it
out of this ten" And history relates
that he did it in spite of the threats
made by the shrewd one as to what
he'd do.

Weather ard Crops.

Washington, D. c., Sept. l6.-The
weather bureaus weekly report OF
crop conditions says:
Further deterioration in the cono1-
tion of cotton is very generally report
ed throughout the cotton belt. She'd
ding and rust are extensive and quite
general complaints Of premature open
ING are received from the central and
eastern districts. The greater part OF
the cotton belt is now suffering from
drought and boil weeyils are destrue-
tive in localities. Boil weevils con-
tinue to destroy nearly all new forms
in the southwestern, central and cas-
tern portions of the cotton area IN
Texas. Cotton opening fast in all dis
tricts and picking is progressing rap
idly.
Tobacco harvest has made favor,
able progress except in Wisconsin,
where it has been delayed by rains.
II Kentucky considerable is being cut
green On account of drought. In Ten,

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

Columbia, Sept. S.-The week end
ing s a. m., Monday, Sept. 14th, had
mean temperature of II degrees,
which is about degree above normal.
The temperature conditions were favor
able, although cool nights are COM
planned of in some localities. The sun
shine was normal, or above, and the
relative humidity low during the day
time and moderately high at nights.
The winds were light easterly.
The extreme western border counties
Ind the coast counties had light but
quite general rains, that were highly
beneficial; the interior Of the State
had none, except that widely separat-
ed places had light but insufficient
showers. The average for the State
was only OIL of an inch. All crops
are suffering for rain.
Late corn failed rapidly On all but
moist bottom lands, owing to drought,
and will be failure on light soils.
With only one or two exceptions sto
the CONTRARY, reports on cotton indi-
cate further deterioration during the
week due TO shedding, premature
opening, and the rapid spread of rust,
owing to lack of moisture. Much cot
ton is dead on sandy lands. There is
little prospect Of top crop. Boil
worms and caterpillars are reported
from Barnwel county. Cotton is OPEN
ing rapidly, some prematurely, over
the whole State, and picking is gener-
al, and. under the favorable weather
for the work made rapid progress.
Sea-island cotton is less promising oW-
ing to shedding and the appearance OF
blight.
The weather was favorable for rice
harvesting, that progressed rapidly,
but yields are somewhat d;sappoint-
ing. Large quantities of fodder pea
vine hay and other forage were saved
in fae condition. All minor crops
have failed for want of rain, but the
dry weather will add to the keeping
qualities of sweet potatoes. Fall truck
planting continues. Little plowing
has been done, as. the: ground is too
dry and hard. Turnip sowing not yet
finished.

It would be good idea for the City
Council to order census Of the city
taken by the police within the next
three months so as TO have the neces-
sary population data for the campaign
for a government building that is to
be made. Senator Tillman and Con-
gresham Lever have promised to use
their utmost influence to secure a
government building for Sumter, if
the Sumter people will furnish the
facts needed to make winning fight.
One of the strongest points that can
be made in an argumen5 for govern
ment building is that the town is
growing in population and business at
a rapid rate, and this can be shown
conclusively. It will take time to col
lecs the data that Senator Tillman
will need, and beginning should be
made now. The Business League is in
a somewhat somnolent. if not mort
bund condition, but if sufficient agi-
tation be created it might be aroused
TO take up the work and arrange the
facts to be submitted to our represen-
tatives. Sumter is entitled to a public
building and the people want it, there
fore the City Council should take the
lead in the movement to secure it. A
police census would be good way to
start the ball in motion.

The white brute who outraged little
negro girl in Greenville should be
given speedy trial, at a special term
Of court, if no regular term is to be
held in that county within the next
shirty days, and, if the facts are as
stated in the press reports, he should
be hanged without the least delay.
The crime was as brutal il all re-
spects as any we reconect, and the
fact that the pezpetrator Of the out
rage is white man and his victim a
little negro girl renders the oHense all
the worse. It was brutal, hendish
deed, and white man who could be
guilty Of such an act should not be
permitted TO live an hour longer than
necessary to give him q formal legal
trial, conviction and execution. There
is no place in this country for rapists,
white or black, and the quicker they
can be hanged under the forms of law
the better.

The City Council met last Monday
evening to taks action on the PROPOSE
lion to extend a side track across Hsrvin
street, near the corner Of Bartlette, for
the purpose of giving new wholesale
establishment connection with the
railroads.
was apparent from the drift of
the discussion at the Council meeting
last night that majority of Council
favored the granting of the petition
for side track across Harvin street.
But as two members of Council were
absent and a postponement OF action
vas asked for it was thought best to
grant the postponemnt so that at the
adjourned meeting all members may
be present if they desire to vote on the
petition and place themselves on
record.
It is not a question of turning
Harvin street over to the railroad
TO be made part of its yard, but
merely to give the wholesale firm an
outlet from it's warehouse. The pro-
posed sidetrack will be used, we are
informed, only when a car is to be
sent TO or sent out from the warehouse,
and the side track would be in
use but a few minutes each day; and
then when there would be the least
interference with the ordinary traffic
on the street which it will cross. The
side track will never be used for shift
ing purposes, and will be no more OBJ
iectionable to the residents Of the vi
cinity than the side track that now
extends across the length of the Tele-
phone Mfg. Co.'S. lot to within fe"
feet of Harvin street. This being true,
IS represented, there really seems tc
be no good reason for opposition tc
the side track, and we do not see how
the Council can well refuse to grant
the request. Sumter certainly needs
and has rooro for every new business
enterprise that can be induced to 10.

should be extended to every one that

Magnolia, Sept. lO.-Iu6 paS6 Gou
days has been most favorable for pick
ing cotton, and consequently money is
circlating freely. But singular fea-
ture about this money circulation is
that although the farmers pay the cot
ton pickers off in change from ten
cents up to dollar or SO, and they go
to the stores nearly every day, and
especially on Saturdays, and spend it,
we find change very scarce with the
merchants, and everybody hunting
change. The problem is, ''what be-
comes of the change?''

tremely i'll, but Miss Viola is a little
brighter today.

OH yesterday, Notwithstanding the low
rates, was not much patronized by

often very dear rates for some.

tinually going away from this place in
