LOSS TO CLUB.

The loss to the club will be about $500 be-
fore the wreck is raised. Already many
of the beams and much of the woodwork
has warped. The boat cost 5000 but was
built many years ago and was not in the
best condition, SO that the cost of repair
will be more.
The accident marred what promised to be
the most beautiful and magnificent even

was panorama of moving colored lights
and along the banks as far up the river
bend the shrubbery was hung with hum
dreds of Japanese lanterns that waved and
glittered the dark surface OF the

JUNE'S RECORD OF
CUPID'S CONQUESTS
1872 Knots Tied In Stark Coun-
ty During Month of
Roses.

During the month of June there
were 1872 marriage licenses granted by
the probate court in Stark county
This is three less than last year, which
was the banner year in the entire his
tory of the county. Among the June
weddings there was a smaller percent
age of extremely young people. That
class seems to prefer early spring
when what is known as puppy love"
is in the ascendency.
June is the brides month and is
thought to bring good luck. While
the greater number married were from
20 to 80, there were others who were
three score and zen and more. In the
majority of instances where old
grooms sought a helpmeet, they Sc
lected wives OF near their own age.
The December and May combination
does not often work unless there is a
big bank account back of December,
and the usual rule is that December
merges into the oblivion of nothing
ness in a few short years, leaving a
young bride who spends the estate
fighting the children of a former wife
in the courts.
Through July and August there is
expected to be luil in the marrying
business. The traffic will not be lively
enough to keep the average preacher
at home from his summer vacation.
Trade will brighten a little with the
beginning of September and increase
gradually as the thermometer goes
lower, the climax being reached with
the grand Christmas rush in Decem-
ber.

about to tell of Knapp's confession to
him, when the defense objected. and
while the question was being argued
the jury was removed from the count
room.
When Mayor Bosch was recalled the

as yet what was the cause of the
death. There are no marks on the

Defendant FAILED TO
APPEAR IN COURT
Ma Charged With Petit Lar
ceny Jumps His BaiI-A
Trivial Charge.

s. B. Braucher of Jackson township,
who was out on bail and was expected
to appear for trial before probate court
Wednesday morning upon the charge
of petit larceny, failed to show up and
warrant was issued for his arrest,
the bond being declared forfeited. The
jury which had reported for duty was
excused until Thursday.
Braucher is charged with having
stolen history of Stark county of the
issue of 1881 from a relative by the
name of David Braucher. The prose-
cutting witness with others were pres
ent to proceed with the hearing but
the prisoners absence compelled a
,postponement.
Discussing the case, Judge Aungst
said that this was one of many matters
that are sent up to probate court that
should be settled before justices of the
peace. They are too trivial to compel
the state to be at the expense OF a
jury trial.

lynehing in Dorchester.

st. George, Nov. 2s.-The first
lynching in Dorchester county took
place at Roses, small town about
twelve miles from here, reports of
which have just been received.
From what your correspondent can
gather from the meagre reports. it
seems that a young lady living three
miles from Roses was assaulted by
one John Fegle, a colored man OF
about 50 years of age, who was fright
ened away before he could accomplish
his purpose, leaving his victim in a
bad condition from the effects of his
brutal fingers on her throat.
Bloodhounds from Charleston be-
longing to Mr.. Burton were sent for
and arrived on the midnight train. The
trail was immediately taken and the
fend speedily caught, when, after
Identification by his victim, he was
strung to tree and his body riddled
with bullets. Such examples are awful,
and the only remedy is that taken by
this crowd of determined men.

WHAT SIR THOMAS Upton
SAYS.
Why Seek Cotton Lands.

The President of the Liverpool
Chamber of Commerce predicts that
West Africa will before long be the
chief source of Englan6's cotton snp-
ply. We have no apprehensions about
the South losing her supremacy in
cotton production. Producing now
80 per cent of the worlds supply, it
is likely to continue this ratio in spite
OF the persistent search in West Afri-
ca, India. Egypt, and islands of the
sea to find cotton producing lands.
But why should the cotton spinners
of the world seek elsewhere for land
that will produce cotton? The point is
we'll made by the Jacksonville Times
Union that there are countless acres
in the South not now employed in cot
ton production which are available for
English cotton manufacturers or any
body else interested in producing a
larger cotton crop. Why search around
the world for land and climate suit
able for producing cotton, when mil
lions Of acres are available in the
Southern states that are just as ad-
mirably suited for producing the great
staple as the acres which are now
thus employed.
1t has been we'll established that the
price of cotton depends on the amount
of production, and if manufacturers
desire to interest themselves in pro-
ducing more cotton they will find land
available in the cotton belt of the
United States that will produce as
much more cotton as has ever been
produced in any year. There is moth
ing to hinder them from making
arrangements for the production Of
this cotton here, where it is no
longer all experiment. instead of max
ing costly experiments in other coun-
ties where soil, climate and season
are not propitious. Augusta Chron-
