PlsGAH NEWS NOTES.

Pisgah x Roads, June 26.-The crop
prospect is very gloomy in our section.
Corn is almost a complete failure.
Cotton is almost as large as it usually
lis the middle of May, except that it
is very red and hard, and it looks as
If we will make almost nothing.
We are having good deal of sick
ness in our community. Fever seems
to be prevailing
Mrs. Gordon Hutchinson is very
low: We hear fever is the.cause.
On Sunday June 2lst, the Sunday
School at Pisgah had an Orphanage
day for the benefit Of the Connie Max
well Orphanage. Beautiful music was
furnished by Miss Her May Evans.
Devotional exercises by D. j. Hat
field. J. E. DuPre delivered very
interesting address on the history of
the Maxwell orphanage, followed by
lP. T. Brnce, Of Mt. olivet and E. a..
Rbame of Sumter.
Gould other Sunday Schools listen
to such words as fell from the lips of
those brethren, We believe that others
would join hands with the little band
now struggling for the Masters cause.
For We see on every hand that the
harvest is ready, and the laborers are
few. Collection amounted to se.21.
Lookout.
Pisgab, June 3o-The concen-
sus of opinions of the best
farmers is that the cotton crop
will not be more than one half. Corn, as
whole is failure. Too much rain
at once and it could not be worked at
the proper time. The other crops look
well. Tobacco curing is going on.
The quality of the crop is not up to
last year. A good deal has been
drowned out in low places.
The cloud that hailed on Senator
Manning's and others crops, came
near passing over here. A current OF
wind turned it east. It was fearful
looking cloud, rolling like great
volumes of smoke.
orphanage day at Pisgah was a
pleasant one. The gentlemen request
ed to speak were on hand and did SO.
Miss Ida May Evans, presided at the
organ and rendered sweet music during
the exercises. Quite nice sum was
realized for the orphanage.
Mr.. Louis B. Rhame, of your city,
came up to Orphanage day.
Nj. Crouch preached a fine sermon
at Pisgah Sunday.

Young Heath gave lengthy detailed
description Of property In the United

have been transferred to him, but he
offers no additional proof. The prin-

records show no transfer whatever.
Edward Heath's statements are as a
whole relative to this affair, taken as
unwarranted and It Is generally be-

statements by promoters Of political
factions working against the Heath in
